My treasure sword and Claire's crystal sword exchanged and scattered a fierce spark.

In Necropolis, Flora, with her crystal sword, was in a flash dominating the Knights cadre's double-swordsman Carreria.

It's as powerful a weapon as that.

However, Claire is not a magician, unlike Flora.

There may be a chance there.

Claire jumped away and said, "Give me strength!," he chanted to snap.

The crystal sword begins to glow.

Not good.

The magic of the Crystal Sword is going to shoot a wave attack.

"Dr. Lucy protect Master Filia!

"Yeah, yeah!

I can hear Lucy's upward voice coming from behind.

Lucy seems totally upset and doesn't have a cane because of the Free Alliance plan being exposed.

I think the odds of being able to defeat Claire have increased if Lucy is in full swing, but so far I have to do something with my power.

As I step forward, a magical light emanates from the crystal sword.

With the treasure sword Tetracord, I took it.

And rebuild the treasure sword.

The opposing Claire hasn't shown any gaps either.

Claire used to be a young, flirtatious girl.

But now Claire was an official officer in the army, becoming a trained swordsman.

"Claire said she came to help us. But why would trying to arrest Dr. Lucy help us?

With my sword in my hand, I asked Claire.

Depending on the content of the conversation, you might get a clue to win.

"Of course, Dr. Lucy is trying to use Mr. Solon and His Royal Highness Philia."

"No! I'm not trying to use the two of you...!

To Lucy's words, Claire shrugged her shoulders as she shrugged.

"It's horrible that you're unconscious. Are you unconscious that you are endangering both of us by involving your disciples and cousins for your own ideals?

"... I always think of Solon and Philia"

Lucy puts her hands forward once again, shaping a vortex of flames.

Ko

Even if Lucy launches the attack as it is, it will only be prevented by the power of the crystal sword.

But if I do a good job of attacking, Claire might not be able to avoid it either.

"Dr. Lucy!

When I spoke, Lucy said, "Okay, Solon!" He nodded.

Success depends on how much Lucy and I can breathe together.

Philia behind Lucy was crushing like she prayed "Victory over me and Lucy, Solon".

I nodded back and pushed forward with my sword.

At the same time, flaming spheres are released one after the other from Lucy's palm.

Just at the same time, the attack between me and Lucy strikes Claire.

Claire took my treasure sword with the crystal sword, but because of it, she couldn't extinguish Lucy's unleashed flaming magic with her sword.

Claire tried to escape the difficulty by jumping to the side perfectly, but a flaming magic blow captured Claire's body.

A flame burned around the waist of his military uniform and Claire screamed tall.

Although Claire barely regained her posture, it was clear that she had drained quite a bit in the current attack.

"Isn't that terrible...... Is Mr. Solon okay if I get hurt?

Claire smiled weakly and looked at me lonely.

Even for me, it hurts my heart that Claire gets hurt.

But now I have to take down Claire.

Originally, Claire attacked this mansion better.

"You used to adore me so much. Professor Lucy is more important now."

"... right"

"But that doesn't matter anymore. Professor Lucy will no longer be able to be by Mr. Solon's side. And you'll see that I'm the one who thinks best of Mr. Solon!

Claire waved the crystal sword, once again releasing a golden wave.

There was just no cut in that attack.

That's also because Claire wore out, but things are clearly not the same as when Flora originally used them.

Claire should have had time since she got this crystal sword, so she should know how to handle it better than Flora.

Though cruel, I guess this sword cannot be used against Claire, who originally had no magic and was not a magician.

When I gently waved the treasure sword, Claire's attack magic vanished like fog.

As it were, I played Claire's hand crystal sword.

Because he was weakened by flaming magic, Claire lightly dropped her sword from her hand and knelt down on the spot disappointed.

"... in the end, I have no power. If only I had the strength, I could have put myself in a magic school, become an adventurer, and still be next to Mr. Solon."

"Claire has become a fine soldier."

"But... what I wanted to be was something else."

Already completely Claire has lost the means to resist.

The crystal sword was rolling on the floor.

Phyllia approximated, but she picked it up with interest and looked at it.

We won.

Nevertheless, where I defeated Claire, it doesn't change that Lucy is in danger.

Measures need to be taken as soon as possible to find a way out of the hands of the government.

There's just one thing I need to do before I do.

"I'll make allowance for the wound, Claire. I'm sorry I hurt you."

"Thank you. Once upon a time... when I fell in the garden or something, Mr. Solon gave me an allowance for the abrasion."

"Yes, you did."

"Because I used to be a crybaby... even a little scratch made me cry... but not now, Mr. Solon"

Claire's eyes suddenly glowed sharply.

Intuitively, I felt something was wrong.

Unexpectedly I flew away, but that was the right thing to do.

Because countless beads of light were emitted from Claire's palm.

Behind me, Philia is messing with the crystal sword.

I lay on the floor, covering the filia behind me.

Philia didn't know what had happened, she was blushing in surprise, but Philia had to be intact anyway.

but I was only slightly away from Lucy with Philia.

Although Lucy put her hands together to create a defensive barrier, the effect was known without a cane, and some attacks broke the barrier.

A bead of light attacked Lucy, and Lucy said, "Ahhhh!," he screams, falling into the spot.

Claire was looking down at Lucy coolly as she proceeded.

"The power of the crystal sword gives the owner the ability to use magic. Even if the crystal sword moves away from your hand, the effect will last for a while."

Lucy was listening to Claire, breathing bitterly.

I guess Claire's offense has worked pretty well.

"Professor Lucy. Even if you don't remember me, I remember you. If you were the examiner in charge of me during the magic school entrance exam."

Lucy was weak and looked up to Claire.

"Was...?

"Yes, and this is what you said to me:" This is not the place for a magical missing person or such a bad person. "

"I'm sorry...... I don't remember."

"Not only that, I've been told pretty bad things. I'll never forget that humiliation."

Indeed, Lucy had a rather arrogant personality when she met me.

There was a place to look down on inferior humans as magical geniuses, and that subject included me.

But then Lucy changed.

Lucy would not say such cruel things to Claire right now.

It was just an unchanging fact that Lucy in the past bought Claire's grudge.

Claire put her hands together and tried to inflict further pain on Lucy.

I jumped up, broke in between Claire and Lucy, and swung the treasure sword.

Playing Claire's attack, I stuck my sword in Claire's neck.

"If you hurt Dr. Lucy more than that, I'll never forgive Claire."

"You have no choice."

Claire seemed to have given up lightly.

Now unintentionally won't work on me, and I'm not supposed to be able to move with a sword on my neck.

However, I could afford Claire's expression.

"Brother Cleon and Father Gapon in the third part of the government are already aware of the plans of the Free Alliance. And I'm going to prosecute you as a traitor, including Mr. Solon."

It would mean that things have already come irrevocably.

And Claire says quietly.

"But I won't let that happen. … at least we will never let Mr. Solon be executed as a traitor"

"I'm glad Claire feels like it, but can you do that?

"Yes, so I came to this mansion this evening to help Mr. Solon. with my fellow soldiers."

As for me, looking back at the entrance to the dining room, there were several soldiers there.

And when I looked out the window, dozens of soldiers had already surrounded the mansion.
