This is a story after some time has passed since Yuma passed through Yuma Village.

After Aria, Yuma's sister, left the village, a massive swarm of immortal demons from the forest of the righteous began to overflow and attack Yuma village.

Around that time, Lilina, Yuma's childhood tame and former adventurer Yankle to her father, saw the demon that appeared in front of her and her legs snapped.

The appearance of walking with zero organs was just the zombie itself, and taking it to Lilina, who had no real combat experience, was not something that bubbled up the struggle, even if there was disgust and fear.

"Ha-ha-ha..."

Just seeing that look makes me breathe.

Scary, scary, scary.

The demon in front of me is scared and I don't even know what to do.

"Lilina! Calm down, isn't your lord made up his mind? Back in Yuma Village...... until you kick my plan to escape to the south. Then be prepared!

I close my eyes once, listening to Master Kyouo, watching the hordes of demons of the immortals flocking to the walls you have built in front of me and the flashing demons coming at me from there.

- My power, Kagura, has the power to purify evil dirt.

In other words, for the immortals attacking Yuma Village, I can be the trump card.

To use divine power...... I spin words by self-implication.

"My heart will be a holy cabinet, my soul will circulate to the earth more than to heaven, there is only one likeness to the world, my wish will be to the void, then my wish will not manifest here and now in this place"

Stopping your feelings by powerful self-implication even the rhythm of your body.

"Dear Nine Tails,"

Nine tails snort at my words.

"Well, it's Lillina. Suppose we start?

I activate Kagura, listening to the voice of the Nine Tails.

Power to be served as a offering to God.

Its name is…….

"Kagura Dedication"

A technique of descending God on his own body and using his power.

Yuma, I've been drilling for nearly ten years to pass beside you. My only strength and unique stunt.

Only some humans have a power separate from the magic that speaks when they turn five.

One theory tells me it's because I realize my existence for myself...

Accepting the soul of Master Nine Tails, my appearance changes.

Long golden hair changed white and fox ears grew over her head.

And under my eyes, there's a red line drawn.

Finally, the outfit changes from the piece you always wear to the witch outfit, giving rise to nine fox tails.

"Master Nine Tails, please help me"

I create a bow in my hand.

Squeeze the bow strings and wrap divine power around them.

"I made up my mind then, in the rain... when you helped me. If I hadn't been chosen, this time I would protect you, Yuma. That's what I decided. So..."

I release bow strings.

The glowing arrow flies toward the demon.

Then he penetrated the demons, purifying and dusting the demons of the immortal.

"I can!"

I hold hands.

If this is... I can protect the village you've been protecting. I can protect it.

Even if Yuma doesn't come back, only this place, only this village I will protect and show.

Don't distract yourself from Mr. Nine Tails there! At the same time I was told, I was shocked from the side.

I can dance through the universe and beat it to the ground.

For a moment, my breath stops clogging.

Look at the giant dragon zombie that showed up in front of me. I... my body was stretched.

As the mouth of a giant dragon zombie approached me to cut a thousand pieces of paper, I closed my eyelids out of fear.

And right after that, a warm liquid poured down my face with my eyes closed.

There was no feeling of pain.

Are you paralyzed from too much pain?

To me like that...

"Are you all right?

- And the voice... the man has called.

Open the lid.

There stood a knight with a shield on his left hand.

I've seen him before.

However, I was with you Yuma...... it should have been your name to say how well you are Bloom.

Someone I don't really like.

I thought he was the kind of person who runs to preserve himself, the person...

"Damn, you did..."

Until I showed myself up to help me, I didn't have Mr. Bloom's right hand that broke between the dragon zombie and me.

"Hey, you okay? Hmm? You... you're a woman named Lilina who used to talk to Yuma from time to time. Run away to the village... can't you do it in this state..."

Looking around, nearly 300 knights had begun the struggle.

Everyone is desperately fighting dragon zombies.

There's no way I can beat you... to such a monster...

If you noticed, you were looking at Mr. Bloom, who sheltered me and lost his right hand.

I saw him on the battlefield for the first time and I couldn't stop shaking my body.

Look at me like that, Mr. Bloom...

"Don't worry. It is the knight's job to protect his citizens. Indeed... the position is important. My salary will change. But... at least for the ideal of protecting someone, anyone becomes a knight.

So you don't have to worry about being protected. I'm a knight... I'm ready to lose one of my arms. And it is the knight's duty to protect the weak who are not prepared to fight. "

The weak...... were told.

Yuma, I've chosen to fight to protect your place of return, and I've truncated Mr. Bloom with the weak... with the unprepared.

The changed state of my "Kagura Dedication" cannot be seen by ordinary people.

Still, when I was told that I wasn't prepared to fight, I finally realized that I was already on the battlefield.

Mr. Bloom speaks to me like that.

"Ready? The struggle is not about beauty. Understand that this is an exchange of lives. If you're willing to fight, understand that the exchange of life is at its root.

It's not every beautiful thing that's a battlefield.

The only thing there is a bloody reality.

At a time when he turns away from that reality, he loses his mind in fighting.

A soldier who has lost heart is just a murderer. So... "

For once, Mr. Bloom has cut the words and looked at me.

"So whatever. Have faith in one thing! If you're willing to fight, if you're willing to fight, ask your heart.

What do you want? What do you want? Don't ask anyone for a reason to fight! Don't blame anyone! Don't make excuses for someone! That's a mistake.

There's only one reason to fight, right? Simple enough.

You're good with yuma, aren't you? Then... what's the reason to fight?

I will put my hand on my chest if I hear Mr. Bloom.

Seeing me like that, Mr. Bloom raised his voice.

"Sabel! Welcome to Yuma Village! And tell that to the UCAL bastard in church.

This army of immortals is impossible to cope with by the size of our troops. Once you withdraw... "

To Mr. Bloom's words, nearly twenty knights head toward the village.

"Mr. Bloom! I can't believe we're going through that number..."

He looked at me...

"I told you. We are knights. At least the knights of the Marquis d 'Irsuca have volunteered to be knights to protect the weak. So I don't hate sacrifice if I needed it no matter how many were there. You guys are retreating! This woman is a general citizen, of the Marquis of Ilsuka......" Please come "...... hmm?

To my words, Mr. Bloom frowned and showed.

So I get up.

"I will fight too"

That's all I said, squeezing my hands together as I suppressed my trembling voice.
