Ah, I don't know what to say.
Surrounded by three people at the inn table, Ferres looked up as if Mare, who was carrying food to her mouth, had been hit.
She also stopped her hand once and looked at Mea.
Who gave you the name Ferres?I heard they call me "The Dead."
"I don't know, but someone followed me.That's why I call it that. "
"I'm sorry to interrupt, but my parents usually gave me the name."
"No, normally I am. Come on."
"Or maybe the information was wrong.I don't really care. "
"Yeah, it's true that someone called me a dead man."
She rubs her right arm and says.
Zar is curious about the gesture, stops eating and asks her.
Did you hurt your right arm?
"That's not true... yeah, I'd better see it."
She switches the bread served as a meal from her left hand to her right.
And when the bread that had been there until now did touch it, it disappeared without a sound.
"......!?"
"My spell takes away everything that touches my right arm.The one who took his life, so he was called the dead.In exchange, I have no emotions other than grief. "
"... I've been listening to you, but you're serious."
"Can't you stop it?"
"I can't. That's why I've lived with this right arm all my life."
Mare transfers her bread to Ferres' Sara instead of the missing bread.
At that time, I looked up at her with a look as if she had remembered something.
Speaking of which, how long has that spell been going on?
"Since when...?"
"Or maybe it's a spell in itself.I wonder if that evil brave man can create a spell that keeps paying the price. "
"You know the mouth."
"I'm uncomfortable, but I'm an ex-companion.Besides, it would be a shame to name Forsythe the dead for nothing and equality. "
Zar nods at her words.
Zar thought that it was difficult for the people of Forse, who even hated the enslavement of Issel, to think of her like this.
It's called the Dead, a spell that never stops.
Those two questions clog their words.
At that time, there was a presence to talk to them.
"Um, did you get hurt earlier?"
"Hmm? Oh, your husband? Suddenly, we have rooms and even meals.How can I thank you..... "
"Oh, no, that's fine.This inn isn't crowded, so it's usually free.I can't say that the village atmosphere is good..... "
"But, Grandpa, aren't you decent?"
Excuse me, Mea.
"No, I understand what the lady is trying to say.Besides, it's not possible to stop people by being afraid of them. "
"Afraid? Why?"
It's going to be a little long, but is that okay?
"I don't mind. Sit down if you want."
"Thank you. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll lend you a chair."
The old man sat on the chair whispering his words and opened his mouth after looking at us with his eyes unclear whether it was open at the earliest.
"This village enshrined the Creator of this world as God.It used to be a big town. "
"Creator..."
"Yeah, you didn't know that, did you?It's been a long time since that teaching became obsolete and existed only in the village. "
"Is that why people in this village fear people?"
"No, there are more to come.There was one big reason why this teaching was abandoned. "
Once he glanced at Ferres, he coughed one by one and looked into Zar's eyes sitting in front of him and said.
"Something violent has appeared to those who believe in this teaching."
"Who is it?"
"Now... I haven't told you who it was.That's it. "
The old man stood in his seat whispering and went back to the reception.
Zar shouts at his back.
"Thanks for knowing about this village."
The old man looked back at his words and walked his back when he laughed.
And when he disappeared, Mary murmured with a fading voice.
"... I don't think so."
"Mea? What the hell is going on?"
"Zar, I may have gotten it.No, I know you're being ridiculous.But if this is the truth..... "
"So, what...?"
So!
Meir suddenly knocks on her desk and stands up.
To Zar, who was apparently stunned by Mary, who was in a strange state, Mary shook her voice.
"That's why, Ferres, you may be... the Creator of this world..."
Leonard ran alone on the unpopular carpeted road.
Medicine to save Lazarus. Be careful not to drop it, and hurry.
Then stop in front of the door.
That door where Lazarus is sleeping.Nearby, two masked men were about to open the door.
Beautifully polished blades in their hands, standing loosely without vigor.
Leonard quickly drew a bow and arrow against the apparently hostile ones.
"... I took it off!"
They hurriedly try to get a second shot, but they change from the loose appearance they have just seen and approach at an incredible speed.
Suddenly, the blade was imminent on Leonard's neck, which was slow to react.
If they do, Leonard closes his eyes and prepares for the upcoming shock.
But the shock came too late, so when I slowly opened my eyes, there was a black hand that suppressed their hand.
"... I meant to hide a little more, but I couldn't help it."
"Eh...? Who is it?"
"I'm one of the witches of Forse, but I'm dying.Situationally, I'm on your side. "
An old man slowly notices himself from the ground.
He was the Cardinal himself in Leonard's memory.
"Wake me up.I'm sorry, but I can only buy these guys some time alone.I can't see anymore. "
"... okay, good luck."
Leonard passes through them and disappears into the door.
After seeing him off, Nicolai sat down slowly.
"You'll just get tired standing there forever.Besides, I can't see anymore, so I can't avoid an attack.There won't be a single thing you can beat. "
That's how he laughs at himself.
But they didn't even try to get close to Nicolai.
No, I didn't even get close.
"Literally, it's useless if you can't stop it."
Thousands of arms stretch around them, as if they had signalled the word.
Nicolai exhales with her fingers on the ground, mocking herself.
"Neither did I.I told him to protect the orphanage, and he killed me and I couldn't protect him after all....That's why it's like sin. "
The wrapped arms disappear one by one.
Nicolai didn't have enough power to hold them back anymore.
"Besides, I've never thought that you were born as a human being.In a world where there is no discrimination or contention.Those guys... me, too. "
All arms disappear.
Their footsteps are approaching.
"But here's the reality.... that's why I decided to bet.He saved our best friend. So please. "
The footsteps stop.
Nicolai screamed.
There's no point in that direction.I just want to scream.
I screamed.
Lazarus!
My blade slices one of the two masked men.
Then, with the same momentum, he slit the other and turned to the man sitting in the hallway.
"... you weren't dead."
I told you, the shadow has been on your side forever.
"Have you been following me?"
I don't affirm or deny my words, I just laugh ironically.
There was no sign of him there that I could afford to know, and I even had a bad impression of him.
"... well, please, Lazarus."
……
"I'm at my limit.The magic of someone I don't know is pouring in, and here, my arms are trembling and I can't stop. "
"... Nicolai"
"I'm sure the Magic Nucleus said that too.Well, what is it? You can do it. "
At the end of the sentence, he is silent and immobile.
I made up my mind. Is that what this is all about?
Hold the sword.
Aim for the neck and avoid suffering in an instant.
"Lazarus, what are you doing!?This person is on my side..... "
"... you were on my side. That's why I don't want this guy to lose himself that night in Forsè, just like the ones who were rampaging."
"....."
Leonard turned away.
For him, it's the savior of his life.You don't want to see such a nickel slashed.
"I made a pretty bad bet on you."
"That's not bad either. I feel that way."
"... I see. I see. Bye, Nicolai."
The blade is shaken down.
Then, the shaken blade fell into a sheath and murmured.
Let's go, Leonard.
"... Lazarus, are you okay?"
"... I see. I hated him before."
That's why we have to settle with the raven that killed him.
It was that moment.
I'm not saying I was careless.It is true, however, that he was only a little relaxed.
The moment I turned my eyes away from the window, I saw it.
Eh...
"What's the matter, Lazarus?"
"The Victorian soldiers... are devastated."
