Akuyaku Reijo Ni Koi Wo Shite

Proceed down the underground passage, and when you go deeper, the demon was already waiting. As usual. In some way, he is monitoring the behavior of the kingdom.

Moving forward were Maria, Prince Arnold, and Elwin. It's about Maria's hope.

Maria thinks it is impossible for the cassis to defeat the evil spirits, but there is an emergency. Now, if Cassis, the general character for Maria, defeats the demon, the game will end with a clown. That must never be in Mary.

The chanting of Prince Arnold and Elwin resounds. Now the devil no longer disturbs. Maria's magic is that they can't beat them.

The magic that was actually released only made Goran's body glow red, but did not melt it. Then, even though the softened body is cut off with a sword, another demon, Baron, gets in the way. You can't win by fighting with a sword against someone who emits a poison that faints when approached.

Freeze your body to prevent the poison. This time, the magic of Prince Arnold and Lancelot will be combined. The combination of fire and water is the same as that of Rion.

Under magic, Baron's body freezes. All that remains is to freeze and crush the body, but of course Golan gets in the way. The cool air released from Baron's body cools Golan's body and restores its original hardness.

Now you're back.

For a demon, Ultimate Magic Fusion must have been magic like a natural enemy, but the situation is exactly the opposite. The combination of iron golan and poison baron has made Maria the ultimate magic fusion natural enemy.

"Hey, if you fight with magic, could you make my turn?"

In fact, in battle with the demon, Charlotte has no turn at all. It is not a target for fusion combinations.

"Can't you help? There is no attack magic in combination with the soil attribute."

"……Not available"

"What's that?"

"Isn't it really usable?-If you're a brave man, defeat the demon swiftly!"

Listening to Bandeau, Charlotte was very upset. He wants to leave the battle without a turn and jump out alone. That thought had exploded here.

"Uoooooooooooo!"

A low roaring scream suddenly echoed around. The groan is cassis.

All defenses were removed, his upper body was showing his skin, and he screamed with his sword in the upper row.

"The essence of my sword is aggressive, so I don't need to defend. I just dedicate myself to defeating the enemy."

Cassis spins words like magic chanting.

"Rion Frey is the minister, Red Cassis Roth!

Cassis's body disappeared from the people's sight, and the next moment, the sword was swinging down by the demon Golan.

"What, what !?"

Golan raises a surprise voice. But Cassis's sword did not cut Golan's body. After all, only a hard metal sound sounds. But Cassis's attack never stops.

The wielding sword becomes a ray of light, which eventually turns into a flash.

"Hey, this guy!"

Even if it doesn't cut it, it seems to damage Golan. However, if you attack Golan, Baron will come out. Together, they didn't have a decisive point to beat.

"The essence of my sword lies in its speed. God's speed is my life. I just devote myself to reach that area."

Mojito's voice. Just like Cassis, Mojito disappeared in a flash and cut off Baron's arm trying to attack Cassis, who attacks Goran.

"Gee, oh, oh, oh!"

Baron struggles, sprinkling blood around her arms.

"Is it stupid ?? Will you die?"

Injured. But Baron's body is poison. If you take that blood, it's like poisoning.

However, the mojito has not fallen on the spot, but on the contrary, continues to move so fast that it cannot be captured. People without the power to see will only hear the wind noise.

"……That is?"

Seeing the battle between Cassis and Mojito, Prince Arnold is also stunned. I've been fighting all the time, but it was my first time seeing them. Their movement exceeds that of ordinary people. Even if they are said to be genie, they will believe it.

"Is it a shy gong?"

The commander responded to Prince Arnold's muttering.

"What is it?"

"I use my mind in my body to gain power beyond ordinary people. I've heard that. I can't use it, but the commander of the Guard Knight is the user."

"I heard it for the first time. Did you hide it without teaching that skill?"

"I hear that it's a fairly burdensome technique. Are you using it at such a rate and are they fine?"

I'm not fine. That's why Cassis has never used it in previous battles. Beyond the mystery of each Band party, this is a contraindicated technique. It is a magic that burns the body's energy, that is, the magic power to the limit, and enhances physical ability.

Bandu IV had similar contraindications. This proved that the roots of the four parties were the same.

"... It doesn't matter."

Before the burden on the body, Cassis and Mojito were tattered. Cassis continues to swing his sword while being pierced by a number of iron bars following Golan's magic attack.

Mojito must have been poisoned. Although the movement disappears from sight for a moment, the interval gradually increases, and time has come to stop. The expression is also quite painful.

"Now it's my turn."

Even if they bet on their lives, they did not defeat the demon. When many thought so, Aperol moved.

"keel!"

Without looking back, Aperor called Kiel's name.

"……Yes"

"Bandou land ... I ask for Rion!"

"……leave it to me"

Keel raises a sword in her waist against Aperol's back. I put out a little sword and returned it to the sheath. The blade and tsuba hit, and the metal sound echoes. It is a ceremony of proof of promise between bandu warriors, kincho.

"... the essence of my sword is power. I seek the mystery of a single blow. Therefore, I devote myself to this swing!"

Aperol did not move immediately after the chanting voice ended. Aperol holds his sword straight up into the sky and does not move like a statue. The fighting spirit rising from that body is shimmering like a haze.

"Rion Frey is Minister, Aperol Kelp .... I'll come!"

Aperol disappeared, leaving a humming noise and afterimages. The flash from the spot appears to cut through the sky and slip past Golan's body.

"……moron"

Golan's body splits in half from the center and falls.

"Now! Magic!"

In response to Keel's voice, Prince Arnold and Lancelot chanted. Maria's voice followed. Once Golan is defeated, Baron has no way to escape fusion.

Baron's body turned into an ice sculpture, with blood flowing from the body.

Further striking Baron was a number of earth pillars extending from the ground. The baron shattered and fell into pieces.

"... Did you do it?"

"That's done. We have defeated the demon! The world has been saved!"

The voice of Mary's delight gradually spreads to the knights behind him, and the voice of delight spreads. The long battle has ended in January. Even if many people do nothing, the pleasure of being able to return home safely is still uncontrollable.

The voice of joy turned into a loud sound, giving the illusion that the underpass was shaking.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the Bandhus were praying in line with a sad expression. In front of them are the bodies of Cassis, Mojito and Aperol. All three knew that this would have happened since the three performed their contraindicated techniques.

Even so, their regrets for their death are not only faint.

"... I'm sorry, if I have more power, if I could beat the demon."

Charlotte, too, was in mourning for Cassis without rejoicing. Tears overflow from their eyes and they cannot stop. I'm sorry that my lack of power and sadness for Leon have been regrettable.

"I decided to die on the battlefield when I left Bandhu, don't worry."

Keel calls out to Charlotte.

"... Rion is sad, and he has lost a loved one."

"Yes. I was told I wouldn't die. After all, we had to meet Leon's expectations ......"

The keel, which was to be comforted, could not bear here. The keel understands the sadness of the three.

At first I was going to die. But listening to Rion's words, everyone wanted a way to live. As Lion's minister, he wanted to spend the same time a little longer. However, the wish was never granted.

The words they left. Lion Frey's minister is their last resort. I want to die as Lion's ministry, even if I'm not yet recognized by Lion. Kiel, who has the same feeling, knows that he came out of such thoughts.

"... Is this really the end?"

"Dr. Bravod, what does that mean?"

"No, I mean ..."

Just vague anxiety. Is this what Bravod perceived as a unique intuition of those who live in the dark work of the intermediary?

"Charlotte?"

Kiel believed that intuition.

"I don't know. Mr. Arnold!"

Kiel's anxiety was also passed on to Charlotte, who had Prince Arnold take action to confirm. In fact, she should check with Maria, but Charlotte is no longer convinced of everything she says.

Prince Arnold had been busy following the celebration of the victory, but approached in response to Charlotte's call.

"……What happened?"

Seeing the three bodies, Prince Arnold's face is distorted. First, they regret not having the time to mourn their death.

"Mr. Arnold, how can you judge the end of the battle with the demon?"

"……what?"

"Certainly the demon has been defeated. But is this really the threat of Bandu's demon?"

"No, wait, no."

When asked again by Charlotte, Prince Arnold's head was also questioned. This is supposed to be the home of the demon, but has not yet been confirmed. There is no proof of that.

"Where are the demons?-There should be hundreds of thousands of demons in this place."

Charlotte considered the same. The demon must have been hiding underground. The monster has never seen the day when it arrived at this place.

"... Maria! Where is the demon?"

"eh!?"

"Where is the great demonic army that is lurking underground?"

"I'm in the vast underground cavern ahead! I just need to break down and fill that huge cavern! That's where Charlotte comes in!"

"This is ahead! I'll hurry!"

"Well !? Where are you going ?! There are a lot of demons! It's dangerous!"

Prince Arnold is not willing to listen to Maria's advice. You have to identify the dangerous monster. The Prince of Arnold goes behind the door where the demon had been coming and going many times.

And the underground cavity that I arrived at. It was a place where nothing was, nothing but a vast space.

"... nothing is there"

"No, it looks like something was there. There are a lot of unknown tracks on the ground."

Indeed, as Kiel says, footprints remain on the ground illuminated by the flames of Prince Arnold. Not just footprints. Although it is a vast space with no biological response, it has a distinct smell like animal odor.

The demon was here. Certainly this was the home. But where did the demon that should have been? It is possible that the royal capital was attacked. But no one here is thinking this way.

The demon in this place is in Band ド ゥ territory.

"Trap, no, decoy?"

"Perhaps ..."

"My favorite is Bandeau, no, Rion. How stupid I am."

"The enemy was tricky."

Use your home base as a decoy. That's pretty bold. Even if it fits, there will be no other places.

"When I felt like the enemy, I immediately knew. For the demon, the biggest enemy is who is the biggest obstacle, and moving to its elimination is the basis of strategy."

"Bandu ..."

"I'm heading to Bandou right away! I don't need to think about making or not in time! I just need to move!"

"Hah"

After being heard from Prince Arnold and feeling like a victory, the Knights of the Kingdom knights quickly withdrew. From the abandoned castle to Bandeau, the military march takes no less than a month and a half, no matter how hurry. Still, I couldn't go wrong.

◇◇◇

Bandu, the deciding battlefield's favorite, was much harsher than Prince Arnold thought.

All stones and arrows prepared for the trebuchet and barista have been shot out. So the only means of long range attack was the magic of Rion and Eriel. Though more powerful than a trebuchet, it wasn't fired forever, and the demon began to approach just beyond the moat surrounding the outer wall. As the distance gets closer, the power of numbers increases. The threat of magic from monsters intensifies, at which point Rion abandons the outer wall. With the exception of the Guard, the Guard Guard, all troops were put inside the walls and returned to the same life as ordinary folk.

The purpose is to reduce the confusion of the territory and to develop a sense of energy in preparation for a siege breakthrough as a last resort. Maybe it's right to have them decide before death.

But that situation seems to be no big deal now. After all, the enemy in front of you is desperate enough to distract you from fighting. The underlying fear, something that makes you feel it, was slowly appearing in the middle of the Demon Army.

"... Oh, what is that?"

No one can answer this question. Rion who asked the question did not seek an answer. However, if you're not talking about anything, you're likely to get stuck and get stuck.

Demon, not. Not a demon. No matter how ugly it is, it doesn't have anything that this creature of the world has. Something makes you hate, not just look. Something makes you feel scared. It is something that should not exist in this world.

"No way ... Is it a genie ..."

No way, but Rion is convinced. Being far from the current world. That expression is perfect for the existence in front of me.

"Bad end .... Did that woman fail? Or ..."

Did you fail? Leon didn't put it into words, but his gestures make it clear. If I can do it, I want to scratch it. In such an atmosphere, Rion's hand is put on her eyes.

Odd eye is a sinister proof. The current situation is due to this guy.

"Rion ... it's different."

Eriel denies Rion's idea.

"But this will kill everyone."

Bad end of the resurrection of the genie. That means the destruction of the Grand Flam Kingdom. That should be the setting.

"It's not Lyon's responsibility. It's not determined that he will die. He'll protect you, right?"

"Aeriel ..."

"Rion, your eyes are so beautiful. I'm happy to meet them. Even if there are sad things, I'm still happy to meet Rion."

Airiel staring at Rion's eyes. Beautiful, the words that Eriel spoke many times, both at the first meeting and afterwards. It has saved Lion's heart many times.

"Thank you"

"I am the same!"

"... Mercury?"

"I'm really grateful that Lion came to Bandeau! Lion made the people of Bandhu happy! し Thanks to everyone who lived in this land for meeting Lion Yes! "

"... Oh, thank you"

Airiel's words save Lion, and Mercury's words empower him. There is no fear of Leon acting for others.

"If you go to battle, I'll be with you. By the way, I'm grateful for seeing you. Whether you accept or not, I've lived to be your guard. It is. "

"... Let's arbitrarily. Don't regret it. Despite that, it can't be defeated.

"Knights bet on battles. I'm a guard knight. I'm not afraid of death."

"I see. Then follow me."

"Wish"

Sol returns the knight's thanks to Lion reverently. In a hurry, Mercury imitates the Sol. And other members of the Guards.

"Then, let's get started! The enemy is a genie! な Don't be afraid!

"" Ooh! ""

The Guard guard who is ready to sortie with a good spirit.

But they know. No matter how enthusiastic they are, they can't defeat a monster. Their only role is to let Lion, who can defeat him, use his life as a shield to break through a large army of demons and head in front of the genie.

A more desperate battle begins.
