Alia was not important because she was treated immediately.

Even so, she hasn't regained consciousness yet, and Iris shakes the sleeping Aria's hand.

……

I wonder how long this has been happening.

Alta would not be in the academy to fight the enemies that Aria invaded the academy and not show herself even in this situation.

Iris was the only one left unaware of the situation. Or, you may think that you are not trusted, but you immediately discard that idea.

In the end, it must be a matter of Ellis' "position".

(I might have been aware of it if I were you.)

I didn't have time to think about pornography.

Ellis just regrets and hangs herself in a situation where she can't repent.

Then he clenched his sword with a determined expression. If you can regret it at any time, then let's do what we can do right now.

When Iris tried to leave the infirmary,

It looks like you've been hit flashily.

"Ahh!"

I suddenly heard a voice from behind and looked back.

Then there was a man in a robe.

"... who? Get away from Aria."

"Don't worry, I'm on your side." Right now, I don't know. "

"......? Now it's...!"

Looking at the person's face, Iris opens her eyes wide.

There stood a young man who looked very much like Aria.

"You, you..."

"It's been a long time, Iris Rheinfell. I haven't seen you since we fought before." Well, I don't play with you that much. "

Young man similar to Aria - once a member of the [Shadow Apostle] aimed at Aria, he was in the position of "brother" of Aria. I heard that they were fake and that they were handed over to the Empire.

What do you mean, allies?

"That's what the word means. Right now, I'm in the position of Aena's subordinate. My sister's with me. It took some time to lose our father and swallow the fact that our existence was fake."

The young man looks at Aria with a mocking look on his face. There seemed to be no hostility there, and Ellis released herself and faced the young man.

“What are you doing here?”

I'm telling you, Alta Schweiz.

"! From Alta-sensei...?"

"Oh, yes. Aena's instructions were to [let Alta protect the school]... and I told her that, but Alta left it to me."

Apparently, Alta was going to head here - but she didn't show up.

I was a little scared to tell you what I was going to tell you, and Iris grabbed the handle of the sword.

'Wait here' or 'don't do anything'? Regardless, if Alta tells us to do so, we may be able to instruct Ellis to wait.

"Tell me every word, every sentence, without making a mistake." Listen-- "I'm sorry, I kept silent with you. Because I believed it was right. But it looks like I was wrong. Mr. Iris, the Kingdom is in a very dangerous situation right now. If we make one mistake, this country could perish. That's why I go to the opponent I have to defeat as a knight. So I'll leave your enemies to you." Totally... what are you going to do, leave it to the students? "

"......! Did Sensei say that?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Hearing the words of the young man, Iris trembled. Gripping the handle of the sword firmly, he meditated on his eyes.

"I know what it's like to be angry, but--"

"No, I'm not angry. On the contrary."

"... the other way around?"

"Sensei let me do it." If I told you to put up with it like this, you might have been angry and broken the teacher's instructions in the end. But the teacher left it to me - now you don't have to worry about anything. "

When Iris said that, she immediately left the hospital room.

"Hey, where are you going? The legend says this...."

Of course, I'm going after the enemy who slaughtered Aria.

"! Say something stupid, Aria was the one who couldn't win. Whether or not you can win--"

"I'm going to win. Can I ask you a favor about Aria?"

Ellis's intentions were strong, and the young man, receiving the words, had a dazed expression on his face.

"... apparently, I've made enemies of these unbelievable people." Do as you please. I was going to go around defending this place after I told Alta. ”

"Thank you. Please."

"Wait, I'll share one piece of information I already have." The enemy's [Pitch Black Knight] had multiple bodies, all of them corpses. "

"Multiple? That's a corpse..."

"Even if I slash it, there's no bleeding." Isn't the knight you fought for the same? "

――

Hearing that, Iris changed her expression as if she had noticed something. That's right -- it was unnatural to infiltrate the school and not make any noise.

If Aria was protecting this place, it wouldn't be easy to infiltrate.

Above all, the knight who slashed with Iris had [bleeding].

It's certainly a living person - Iris breaks up with the young man and runs out of the hallway. The purple lightning wrapped around [Purple Lightning] wrapped around Yilis and made a quiet noise.

─ I'm coming.

Along with the words, Iris began to act.

There was only one thing to aim for. It was the [Lacquered Knight] who slashed Aria, and it was the [identity].
