We were in the meadow near Mactoria through the tear he prepared.
As far as I can see, a place with nothing.
It felt as if it had nothing to do with war.
"... That's quiet"
Leonard sitting next to me squeaks.
I snorted at that word, too.
The wolf said it went beyond time and space.
He came to help me beyond time and space.
But.
Still, his blade didn't reach Bettenburg.
That means you won't even get my blade, which means you won this fight, etc...
I can hear the footsteps that belong to no one here so as to block that thought.
As I turned in that direction, Mentila stood there.
"... mentilla. What about wolves?"
To my question, he throws something like he said he was replying.
He slipped down the ground and hit me at my feet. It was a pair of wolves swords.
"We lost. Bettenburg, to just one."
"... right"
I knew it, but still, the shock is huge.
I immediately threw everything out and felt like running away somewhere.
But that's not all I can do.
"The wolf has transcended time and space and delivered this sword to me. risked my own life to fulfill that role."
"... how did the wolf get here?
"That's something you'll realize if you don't give up."
I pick up my sword.
Light as paper and glowing as a mirror.
"It was made on the edge of the world, in the world where we are said to have been born, a sword of heresy. Kill those who cannot be killed. And save the unsaveable"
"Kill those who can't kill..."
"Yes, I was told to leave it to you."
Are you sure you came to this world just to entrust this sword?
Oh, no.
I don't...
"... so you were convinced!
He spent his life for this world, not even revealing who he was.
You would have really liked to live quietly. You would have liked to keep yourself away from the war.
After glancing at me, Mentila said this time as if to speak around as well as me.
"... one city in Mactorian territory has perished. Maybe Peswen's invasion has begun"
"How could Peswen?
Leo, who had been silent until earlier, opened his mouth.
To Mentila's words, the people around him are also listening.
"Peswen is a nation that has ridden up to one of the four powers with military power. If two of them disappear, I can also nod trying to absorb the other one and get bigger."
"... that's your imagination, isn't it?
"Maybe. But isn't it unnatural that Peswen won't be involved until now?
Indeed, I have never heard Peswen's name in this world.
Besides, there's something I'd like to ask Mariarette.
Leonard opened his mouth to block my thoughts like that.
"But why did Peswen suddenly...!
"Forse, Isel is doomed. Then I think it's a natural ambition to absorb one more country and try to grow bigger as king of one."
"... so you're even trying to say that Mactoria attacked Peswen?
"I don't care what that authenticity is. The question is, what are you going to do?"
To Mentila's words, the surroundings creep in.
After he glances at them like that, he turns to us.
"So, what do you guys do? I don't mind if I run away here now. It wasn't you, it was him who entrusted the fate of this world."
"... hateful, but we're driven back as unrelated, and we don't have the personality to back off."
To Graham's words, we nod together.
As the words followed, Leonard opened his mouth.
"If I were to abandon Lasalles here and run away, I wouldn't have originally given this guy a hand. Besides, it's not the size that Lazareth can carry alone, the world."
"... I see. Kinds call friends, huh? Apparently, your people are a bunch of people."
There is no objection.
In fact, you're right.
But with them, I have to move on.
"Maybe you're right. But I don't think saving the world is such an idiot. And just now, a bigger idiot than me just lost his life."
"... no, the two of us"
That's what Mentila says, pulls out the sword.
As such, it was cut with the sword that had been pulled out as it was, but I wiped it with an intermittent hair.
The people around them are even more obsessed with the behavior.
"... ugh! What the fuck!
"I don't have any more time.... I want to challenge you."
"You're not in that situation right now! Evacuate people at all..."
"Please. It's my last favor."
"... the last?
He puts his hand out of the bare belly that he has been hiding with his hand for some time now.
There appeared so many cuts that I could almost say they reached the center of my body.
"He also had a sword of heresy. Maybe this time he was really trying to bury us."
"... mentilla"
"So please.... please. I want you to reassure me."
His words were hardly an exaggeration to say a plea.
After a short tour, I open my mouth.
"... ok. Mentila, we're gonna settle this."
"I'll be grateful.... I'm so glad you're a wise man"
"Ha, I didn't expect you to say that"
I've hated him terribly for when it was.
... When I thought so, I felt strange somewhere.
Hold the sword entrusted to you by Mentila earlier in each hand.
He... Lazareth entrusted me with the sword.
In the end, I couldn't do anything to him... but I'm not going to waste his will.
"Guys, please step back.... Mentila, maybe because of you"
"Hmm?"
"For the first time in a long time, I feel my vision is clear. It may be an extra favor, but you saved me for the last time. It was a wasted life by mistake. I'm not gonna let you tell me."
"... really, it's an extra favor"
"Ha.... bye."
"Shall we?"
At the same time, sparks scatter in my sight.
It's a terrible wind pressure, I can't stand.
But we can't just run away here right now.
All of his swords in front of him are precise, and they grab my steep spot.
But it's not like I can't handle it.
Cut his body again and again without killing the momentum of the counterattack.
But I'm not going to let that pass when he makes it easier.
Ringing again and again, the sound of iron bumping into each other.
In the ear, there will be an echo like a high scream.
And so, finally, I touched the grief deep in his heart.
"... we must be like each other."
I won't deny it.
"Hey, how did he look in your eyes?
"It was splendid"
"I feel the same way"
Fly behind each other.
He then leveraged the impact of the landing as it was, and settled into an impending outfit with each other.
"Me too, there were two people who wanted to save you. After all, it didn't work out."
"... I know."
"Neither Cyan nor Zahr used to be like that. Maybe that night... no, I think I've hunted them down myself"
"Then what?
"I'll save you again. Just like you did. Now, make no mistake!
"... ha. You're right, 'Lasalles-Mercures'!
If we noticed, we were laughing at each other.
There was no crazy emotion there as before, just purely fit in with him. That's what I felt.
So, so...
"So, first of all, I have to take you down!
"Oh yeah! For that, show it beyond me!
... I appreciate it.
To this encounter, to this reincarnation.
... No, see you.
With this thought, I just cut my sword off.
To cross a hero who couldn't save his loved ones.
To protect important thoughts.
With the boy's sword in front of him, he thinks.
The boy I first met also said he had warm eyes like this.
He said these ningens must be kinder than anyone else.
It's good to see you.
He shoved the word into his chest.
Because I've decided to keep that word.
If you noticed, the sword was away from Mentila's hands, capturing his neck with my sword tip on his knees.
"You win. Well, then, please."
Can't you go with me?
Push that word, hard into your throat.
If you want to combine his thoughts, that's all you can say.
"... hey, I have one last thing to say. Ready?"
"That's an odd encounter. Apparently, they're all alike."
"Ha"
I'll lay down my sword.
Hold on, don't take his neck off.
It's good to see you.
"... thank you so much"
In my sword-shaking hand, I gained strength.
