56-3. David and Goliath.
***
The valley had a golden color as the moonlight reflected softly.
Sounds of grass bugs around, trees blowing in the wind.
“Richt…Isn’t it hard? You can leave me…”
“This is fine.”
I split the waterfall with my heart swords,
I was heading upward while changing the terrain and creating a structure.
Because the current Fine Grancia was exhausted and couldn’t use its power properly.
She clung to my body like an octopus clinging to a rock.
Pinay clings tightly to her neck with her arms hanging like hooks.
I wonder if she wants to be my strength, and sometimes she pranks me by rubbing her face.
Is it comfortable?
Looking at you like this, I keep thinking that I’m not the daughter of the scary wolf king.
There was a foreshadowing, but it wasn’t enough.
“Richt.. Why is he being nice to me..?”
Fine spoke in a voice so low that she could crawl into it. A slightly raised tone, as if not understood.
She must be like that. No matter how much she saved her life, she’d go too far.
“Do you need a reason to save people? Blood.”
Inside the glass armor that seemed unbreakable, there was a girl who was more fragile than anyone else.
“Isn’t it because I’m the princess… that I’m not being nice to you…?”
She’s in a position people can’t easily imagine.
Fine may have been a much more lone wolf than I knew.
“You really think so? Why did you treat me well then?”
In reverse, I asked a question.
Then why did Fine treat me so well?
“I’m not even a knight, I’m just a man wearing a helmet that doesn’t suit me.”
On her first rainy day, she couldn’t have handed her an umbrella.
Even after the swordsmanship exchange was over, he could not approach me with goodwill.
…. When I was shot by Head, she didn’t even have to risk her life to save me.
She is the only princess in the empire. She is also a person with the legitimate right to succeed to the throne.
She said that it’s normal to think of me, a commoner, as nothing more than stones rolling on the street.
“I just… Because Licht is… Kind.”
She barely opened her mouth. Contrary to what I struggled with for a long time, what came out were simple words.
Be kind.
I was dumbfounded and my movements stiffened for a moment. I feel like I’ve been hit hard in the back of the head.
“…That’s why I do the same. Princess Fine Grancia.”
The only person who was kind to me when everything was burned by the fire. That was you
If it wasn’t for Fine, my life would probably have fallen into hell.
“It’s rare to find someone who doesn’t look down on people with burn scars.”
Looks frightened, frowns, or looks with pity.
Those who value the outside rather than seeing ‘me’ inside the shell. I always hated hypocritical people like that.
“Richt is fine even with burn marks.”
“Thank you for your words.”
Now I have become that kind of person. A wolf who piles up lies to cover them up.
“…Really.”
I wonder if it is a waste to be called the Black Knight now that he has transformed into a villain like a villain from a fairy tale.
I shouldn’t have used a nickname change ticket. If so, at least I wouldn’t have been so embarrassed.
I continued to run, breathing in the cold night air.
“Honestly, I think it’s like a nice medal.”
“Then you don’t even need to apply ointment anymore?”
As if upset by the unsatisfactory response, she continued.
My heart beat faster the more I ran, and my arms and legs got heavier.
“No. Until you need me, I want to be by your side and support you.”
The mere fact of having Fine on my back gave me strength.
I wonder what the Brave Cult is trying to bully such a kind person for?
To keep the mighty emperor of the empire in check?
No. If that was the case, I would have been aiming for the sports day a long time ago.
Attack of the Magic Hat seen during group assignments in the forest.
And there was something I felt when I saw the head attack directly into the academy.
‘….The future has been decided.’
In fact, it may be the result that does not change.
While I met Fine and went through various things, their attack was getting closer and closer.
The cult of warriors is always like this.
The moment people have hope, they ruthlessly destroy it.
Becoming a person with no memories, no friends, no name.
No matter how much life is full of things you don’t want, there is a limit.
I would never do that.
I have no intention of doing that, at least when my eyes are open.
Even if you fell in love with a nameless saint and came here.
“Pine, now that we are almost there, can you put the Masterpiece back on?”
The foot that was stepping on the structure made of the heart sword was getting stronger.
The one who made me move now is Fine in the glass armor.
Small, fragile, pure wolf than I thought.
And he is the first person to lend a hand to help others.
“I said it a long time ago. Perverted dog..”
Fine said in a sarcastic tone, slightly pulling the arm around my neck.
“Sorry. I hadn’t even thought of it.”
In fact, I was so impressed with the fact that she had woken up that I had no time to pay attention to her.
I thought you saved everyone. I thought the most important person was missing.
“It’s okay. Licht. You don’t have to apologize.”
“…Yes?”
Fine talks to me as she puts her glass armor and helmet back on.
A hard touch felt on the back. She was a little sad, but she put her comfort first.
She was the kind of person who wanted to attend the academy regardless of her status as the princess.
“I didn’t do that on purpose… it wasn’t it? I knew everything.”
Changed into a humming voice, Fine continued her words.
How the hell do you know? It felt like I was reading my inner thoughts, so I was a little jealous.
Did he notice it when he saw my stupid reaction? It’s because he rescued someone who had lost his mind.
“I want to own my swimsuit.. It’s lewd….”
Ugh, she was misunderstanding in the completely wrong direction.
“Stop it, Pine.. It’s not like that.”
I made an urgent excuse. If it wasn’t enough that he tried to lay her hand on the country’s princess, if rumors spread that she had done an obscene thing.
When Emperor Locke finds out about this, my head will be hanged in the square.
“…I was joking. Surprised?”
She said with an expectant laugh.
If you joked twice, you would almost fall apart.
But now that I think about it, even when she was a nameless saint, she used to bully me like this. I got hit again this time

“I only thought you were being serious.”
“It wasn’t empty words at all. Licht.”
It was Fine who gradually showed various aspects, like painting over glass.
At first I felt like a really emotionless doll.
She used to seem like she didn’t want to connect with anyone.
“Thank you for saving me today. Knight.”
He was directly thanking me.
“….”
A title with a nostalgic scent forced me to look at the distant mountains.
A waterfall that can barely see its end. The campsite in the Calcium Valley caught my eye.
***
A campfire place with Kynell or Ariel.
I arrived at the place where the students of the academy were huddled together.
“This is all… What a mess..? Richt?”
“I don’t know either. “
Tents shredded and broken like paper.
It’s broken as if a child was playing with it.
All that greeted us was quiet silence.
“Did something happen while you were coming to rescue me, Richt..?”
I can’t do this.
Even if the surrounding structures were damaged due to the rising water in the valley, all of them were in strange conditions.
And besides me and Fine, there was no one there.
No Dennis, no Drake, not even Kynell or Ariel.
It feels like only the two of us are left in the world.
Nerves all over my body were on edge at the chilling sensation.
It is most likely an attack by the demon king. It’s not the level of a simple apostle’s prank.
Because the ‘concept’ that covers the world is strong enough to change everything.
“..Pine, get ready to fight.”
I immediately drew my sword and looked around.
Dawn with no wind blowing.
On the contrary, the stillness struck me as strangely eerie.
There is nothing that should be there. I couldn’t even hear the grass bugs that I had heard a while ago.
“Are you Licht? It was f*cking hard to see your face.”
Sabak, I could feel the presence as I heard the sound of stepping on the grass.
A red-haired man walking in front of me.
There are black sunglasses above his head, and knuckles can be seen on his clenched hands.
Why is this style of clothing? Sunglasses in the middle of the night
“The Demon Lord of Power…? How the hell did you get here…?”
It was Fine, not me, who first discovered the man’s true identity.
The Demon King of Power. So, is that guy Finn, Intinium’s older brother?
“You know me! As expected, you did a good job overturning it during the war.”
Finn made a crunching sound with his fists. The demon king laughs while exposing his teeth.
Looking at that figure, Fine raised her sword, took out the Glass Knight, and prepared to fight.
“Ah, but you should get out of it. I wanted to kill all the warriors at once!”
Finn reached out into the air and assumed a grasping position.
“The warrior of light and the warrior of conviction! I was wondering who would win if these two and I fought!”
At that moment, a white wall appeared behind the demon king.
“..Because I have to thoroughly bully the heinous bastards who messed with my sister.”
No, if you look closely, that’s the torso.
The upper body of Cyclops, which was not seen when fighting Intinium.
Its arms and huge palms stretched out towards us. I pushed her away from her.
