I put a mark on Laurent's back just in case.
Zwei said sorry somewhere.
Those are the marks. It is a sign of his ability to transfer.
Roland often acted on his own, marking Roland without permission for his judgment that he "could go to help when he got lost".
The maximum number of people to be welcomed to Laurent is six. Three with the power of Zwei. With the help of Leanne, who borrowed the treasure from Zwei.
So Cecilia, Gilbert, Oscar, and Zwei followed them to Laurent. The rest of the members remain at the academy just in time to say no.
And the first thing Cecilia saw before she was transferred was Janice thrusting her sword at Laurent.
"Roland, are you okay?"
Cecilia confronts Janice as she suddenly covers Laurent's back in a daze.
Is it because of resistance? Laurent's palm was cut and there was blood flowing from her forehead.
Cecilia calls out to Laurent with a dazzled expression, clinging to her.
"Please don't, Cecil! Niisama--"
Even after this, Cecilia looked puzzled at Laurent, who was still trying to protect Janice.
Dropping his gaze to the desperate Laurent, he heard a roar coming from the front.
"Oh no. You guys are really angry." I really don't know how to get in the way. "
Janice brushes up her hair violently. And I bite my back teeth.
When he claps his hands and sends a signal, you can hear a roar in the distance.
Cecilia looked back with a happy face.
“What did you do?”
"I accelerated the operation." You can't help it, can you? I can't let you interfere with the operation. "
As Janice said that, she gazed at Tino behind her.
Tino nodded to Janice's command and ran in the direction of the roar. Oscar tries to stop him immediately, but Marguerite stands in front of him, and Tino disappears into the woods in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that Tino's back had disappeared, Janice opened her mouth for the rest of the day.
“I heard from Marguerite that I had no choice but to hurry up, but I didn't expect to use Laurent to get here.”
I didn't use it...!
"I don't have to tell you to take advantage of this, but what do you have to say?"
Cecilia's spine freezes in Janice's gaze as if she saw something abominable. It was the first time that he had so much emotion.
Is it annoying that the operation was interrupted so much? Perhaps the fact that he took advantage of Laurent hindered his decision.
Where's Tino?
"He went to command a horde of ants." The ants have been told to listen to me or Tino. ― ― It's not a little bigger than it should be, but this should be enough to crush the academy.
In response, Cecilia looked back at Zwei with a hasty look on her face.
"Zwei! Please come back now and ask the remaining people to evacuate the students!"
I see!
And Laurent!
No!
Laurent grabs Cecilia's clothes and keeps on letting go, as if she were a wasteful child. He doesn't know what Zwei's abilities are, but I'm sure he understands how Cecilia and the others suddenly appear.
"If you're going to force me to take you, I'll bite your tongue off here!"
Laurent!
"I have to stop niisama!"
So they heard the roars of the barrier-bearing men. Maybe Tino joined up with some group. Even though there is a considerable distance from here to the city, the fact that the voice is heard to this point probably means that a considerable number of people are germinating.
Detecting the gravity of the matter, Oscar yells at Zwei.
"We don't have time. For now, just go home, Zwei!"
Got it!
Zwei nods and puts his hand on his chest. Then, the light flashes and he disappears.
Looking at the situation, Janice clapped her hands slowly, as if to praise the child.
"In case you have to, the liaison clerk is here with you." And the one who seems to have the most mobility, too. "
Dante was the man with the most maneuverability.
Slowly approaching him, Oscar and Gilbert stand before Cecilia.
After them, Cecilia asks Janice.
"What exactly is your purpose?" Are you sure that only destroying this country is your purpose? "
"My aim is to destroy everything."
All of them?
"What a barrier to this country." To my cruel fate, to my own country, which killed my mother. I was born with ugly power. It's all about destroying everything. "
The words confirmed Cecilia's predictions.
Janice wants this country ruined, and she wants her own ruin. What he is going to do now is a large-scale heart that has involved the country in great magnitude.
In exchange for yourself, you will destroy this country and put all the blame on Nortlach, who couldn't stop himself. That's why he doesn't hide himself. As the third prince of Nortlach, I am trying to destroy this country.
When Marguerite heard the story, she looked down.
I knew Janice's plan, but it might have been the first time I'd heard of her.
"That's why I'll kneel before you as a great sinner."... of course I'll resist. "
Having said that, he puts his hand on his chest.
At that moment, a black potato rises from his body and crawls through his body like a bruise.
Janice made her own barriers blossom.
Janice-sama!
Marguerite was the first to react. Janice probably didn't put herself at risk in the operation. And when I saw the reaction, I could predict that Janice's embarrassment of herself would involve considerable risk.
"--Oh!"
"Step back, sister-in-law!"
Oscar and Gilbert are discouraged by the gravity of the matter. As they intensified their vigilance, Cecilia clenched Laurent's hand.
Janice didn't get upset like the rest of the humans, even if she let the barrier blossom. Instead of losing her sanity, Cecilia looks as if her emotions are gone.
As Janice waved her sword in her hand, she extended her arm and pointed it straight at Cecilia.
And when Janice was about to run away...
"Niisama!"
"Laurent!!"
Laurent forced Cecilia's hand away and leapt in front of Janice. Then, as if to give him a tackle, he clutches at his body.
"Niisama! Niisama, please stop!" Don't repeat your sins anymore! "
Janice didn't move. Despite being hindered, he stares at Laurent, but without taking his hands off the sword, he stands there.
"...... Lo...... Run"
Janice calls out her brother's name in a dazed voice. His dark eyes clung to his back as he pursued him.
As Janice stopped, Laurent let go of her body and raised her voice.
"Please go back to your sanity, niisama!" Please! "
His desperate plea was wet with tears. Rolling his big tears on his cheeks, he desperately repeats his words.
"I'm sorry I can't keep up with your painful niisama's feelings!" I'm sorry I let you endure it all by yourself! I just followed niisama, but now I'm going to walk next to him! I tried to walk! "
With those words, Janice put her strength into the hand holding the sword. Then he pulled his arm wide open.
Laurent!
Cecilia ran out in anticipation of the worst. But we can't make it to Janice, who's ready.
His arm stretched straight to Laurent's chest.
”-Ohh”
The sound of piercing meat and a small groan. The sound of a heavy liquid falling to the ground reaches everyone on the spot.
Blood red at Janice's feet. The blood that defiled his shoes did not belong to Laurent.
"Mal, Grit..."
Her chest was dyed bright red and her hands touched Janice's cheeks. At the same time, the barrier was lifted and the light returned to Janice's eyes.
Janice was staring at Marguerite with an unbelievable look on her face when she returned to her sanity. Then, I took my trembling hand off my sword.
The sword fell from Marguerite's chest and rolled down the ground. At the same time, blood gushed out from Marguerite's chest as if she had been unplugged and dyed the ground even more red.
Janice hugged her uneasy girlfriend.
"Why? Why are you protecting Laurent?"
"What are you talking about?" It is your heart that I have protected. If you had killed Laurent, your heart would have been damaged anyway. "
It must be hard to breathe, but Marguerite's voice was getting thinner and thinner and thinner.
While supporting her, Janice held her chest. Repeating his rough breathing, he doesn't look okay from anywhere. I'm sure that's the price of manipulating a lot of obstacles. Or the price you paid for hurting yourself.
Janice kneels down. His face was earthy past the blue hole. Below my eyes, a bear appeared that hadn't existed before, and I could feel the dead period from its expression. I'm sure his life won't be long anymore.
"Janice, come on, it's okay." I'm here. "
"Mal, Grit..."
Marguerite used her last breath of force to move along with Janice.
It was at the edge of the land that we reached. You can still hear the sound of the waves striking from below where they stand.
The two of them, who supported each other, turned their gaze to us.
Marguerite's gaze turned toward Cecilia and her lips curved.
Thank you.
Marguerite!
"Niisama!"
Before Cecilia and Laurent rushed over, they threw themselves under the cliff. When Cecilia peered under the cliff, they had already disappeared into the darkness, and all she could hear was the sound of the waves breaking against the wall.
