28-2. Death by life (必生則愛).
***
When I woke up from the nightmare, something lukewarm was smeared on my helmet.
“..Huh?”
As I swept it with my hand for an ominous feeling, I could smell the fishy smell of blood. This looks like blood, but whose blood….
At that moment, I was blown away. With a noise, the glass knight next to him slowly fell down with his chest armor shattered.
“..Saint?”
No, should I call her Fine now? She, who has hidden herself as a masterpiece,
“What the hell is this?”
The person I was always looking for was at the hands of someone.
I saw Dennis, a man with blue hair who fell right in front of me. It must have already been over while I was trapped in trauma.
The Demon King of Battery. Head Ayke could be seen striding ahead.
“No…. It can’t be like this.”
I tried to stop the bleeding by holding my hand in the center of her chest, and a piece of glass was stuck in the back of my hand, but I felt no pain.
Saving her was more important than anything else.
“Please.. Jebaal..”
How did you meet, how did you get to know a precious person? This is too much
‘It’s okay. There is a Savior Sword.’
As before, I grabbed the glass knight’s hand and tried to use the paladin’s skill.
“..Why, why not?!”
But it misfired. Why are you doing this?
The source of mana is the heart. Because she injured that part, it seems impossible to borrow Fine’s magic circuit and use her skills.
“My hands are cold. No way.”
In addition, her divine power is a wish made with reason. Blocked by reality, only imagining an ominous future.
Maybe I judged her already dead. Uncharacteristically for me, her head became a blank slate, confused by so many dark thoughts.
“Hey, Licht.”
It was then. The blonde-haired warrior watched the demon king slowly approach and activated the holy sword.
“Me and Ariel will buy some time. Do anything.”
“It’s already too late, it’s over.”
There was me holding her and her crying. Then there was a pop, and the sound of something like fireworks exploding. The magic used by the magician of mad flames no matter who hears it.
“Mister Helm, Mardol is not dead yet!”
“What is that…. You mean… Ariel…?”
“Think about it, it’s a masterpiece that even blocked Magic Hat’s attack!”
Come to think of it, the amount of her bleeding is small. Ariel’s words returned her composure.
“..Really, I’m still breathing.”
It is a glass armor that blocks the magic hat’s attack, which felt stronger than the head. I guess the bullet didn’t go in completely.
‘Is there something that Professor Dennis protected?’
There were traces of Dennis’ three-dimensional magic circle around it. This would have been able to block the power of the ultimate skill and bullets to some extent.
“Thanks, kids.”
Looking at the fallen Fine again, I began to think about all the ways I could.
‘It’s too far to join Chartines… But it’s not enough to ask someone else to use healing magic.’
It’s the same situation as the Heavenly Demon. If you leave it as it is, you will be hit by a bullet and forgotten in the world.
Actually, I’ve thought about it to some extent. Couldn’t our saintess have been struck by the authority of the Head? To do.
However, there was a lot missing in thinking that way. The Heavenly Demon was also ignorant, but isn’t the force itself intact?
The authority of demon lords is not perfect. There had to be a gap somewhere.
In the setting book, the name is still there. It’s called white magnolia.
Many puzzle pieces were empty for the strong-looking glass knight to become a helpless ‘nameless saint’.
At this rate, once she loses her memories of herself, she will be erased from all records of her in her world. Or did everyone, including me, forget Fine Grancia?
“I can’t forget this person. Never.”
However, it was strange for her to become a saint who lost her name immediately and could not use her divine power freely.
Even the attributes were different. The saintess had the light attribute, but Fine had the earth attribute.
Isn’t it strange that Fine, who has the strength to overwhelm me, is unable to catch even a single monster?
“..Could it be that all demon kings in the cult of warriors are like that?”
I just instinctively felt it. It was an evil act that was interfered with not by one demon king, but by several people.
At this rate, this person will fall prey to the machinations of the demon lords and become a ‘nameless saint’.
It’s obvious without looking at it. After erasing all memories of her from the world, we can secretly take her away without anyone noticing.
“Bastards.”
What’s wrong with this kind and naive person?
For what reason did they make their names disappear, make them unable to catch a single monster, make them unable to use their holy power well, and make them forgotten by everyone?
I didn’t have enough time to think about that right now. The moment you have to make a choice.
“I don’t want to let this person I just found… Do that.”
I don’t mind seeing the saint I remember forever. Because I wasn’t saved because of this person’s disregard.
“Even if they look different, our saintess is a saintess.”
I was influenced by his warmer and softer inner side than anyone else.
I had just seen that in Mardol who came to rescue me from a nightmare, and it was good to be a princess instead of a saint.
“It is right to live like this, have Emperor Locke as your father, and be the older sister of his younger brother Lupus.”
Because that would be the happiness of a person named Fine. I can’t change the person I love with my personal greed.
Even if this choice will make me not like you.
As long as I can save the Pine Grancia in front of me, I’ll be content with that.
“Ariel, let’s use joint skill.”
“Okay, Kai!”
Besides, there are friends behind me who are buying time to save Fine. It was different from When I was dealing with Magic Hat.
“..This kind of technology was not in my ‘battery’. Kainel!!”
“hahahaha, looks like it worked!”
“Kai, watch out!”
Shine Fire Works that flies to the Demon Lord of Battery. Explosions were heard here and there, and the head holding the revolver was off balance.
Bang, one of the bullets fired at me missed.
There is a gap. But what should I do? Whether you’ve already grabbed your hand and used divine power or tried to use magic, you failed.
Wait, magic?
The two words that came to my mind brought to mind what Dennis had said before. The advice he gave me when I first joined the club.
“Perhaps it is possible to use a circuit instead through a medium.”
A powerful memory flashed through my mind. Now, in my arms, there was that ‘medium’.
‘Mana Rose..!!’
It is a blue rose that is richly saturated with mana, and is a legendary-grade flower kept for our saintess.
Looks like it’s time to use this. Before, a kid told me to take care of myself.
“Savior Sword.”
I took out the Mana Rose and tried to use divine power, but the answer was silent.
“It’s okay… Everything will be fine. Blood.”
With a pop, blood dripped onto the glass knight’s armor. Whether or not it is pricked by the thorns, I firmly grasp the stem,
“There is no hard work anymore.”
The blood flowing from my hand and the rose became one.
“..I will definitely make it that way.”
The magic circuits united, and the bottom of the Mana Rose was dyed red, so it was absurd to call it a “Blue rose” Any more.
「Savior Sword.」
She cradled her rose in her hand beside her, got down on her knees and prayed to the sky.
What does it matter if a blue rose becomes a red rose?
As long as I can save this person, that’s fine. Even if I die, take any amount of blood.
─Took.
Just like before, a ripple of white light rippled around with the clear sound of water falling.
“All right. The blood has stopped.”
Perhaps it was strengthened by using Mana Rose this time, an incredibly bright light source spread around.
It soon took the shape of a small sword that split into several pieces and penetrated wounds like melting snow, healing the injured.
It looked like a snowy landscape. Snowflakes falling in midsummer.
The White Christmas that she and I saw in her trauma was reproduced.
“..Licht?”
After a while, I saw golden eyes shining in the glass helmet.
“Hello, Fine.”
She opened her eyes and smiled at her relief. Already covered with tears inside her helmet, she might be laughing or crying.
“Remember me..?”
“Of course, perverted Licht.. That’s..”
The glass knight looks clearly tired, probably because he just came back to his senses. Thankfully, it wasn’t a look of ignorance. I hugged her right into her.
“I’m glad.. Really… glad..”
“Licht… I’m choking…”
Feel the body temperature again. A heartbeat heard at a close distance. All evidence that she was alive was good.
“I’m sorry. I was so glad you were alive….”
“Just don’t push it too hard. If it’s Richt, then I’m fine..”
Come to think of it, I hugged our saintess freely. I felt that her face was burning, so I opened my eyes and asked how she was.
“Now I don’t have any pain anywhere. Blood.”
“I don’t have anything in particular…. Oh, there is one.”
“Where?! Are you injured again…?!”
Is there something that the Savior Sword couldn’t fix? I immediately inspected her body here and there with a hopeless mind.
“.. Her heart hurts when Licht touched her without permission earlier.”
“…”
Then Fine stroked her helm and looked at me with her slightly soft eyes. I pressed it when her heart was bleeding, it was just to stop her bleeding.
“Whoops, you’re a pervert.. Totally..”
As soon as she wakes up, she smiles innocently as she sees her teasing me like her fox. No matter how I looked at it, the saintess I remembered was right.
“Later… I’ll punish you… Licht.”
“Do whatever you want. I am confident that I will accept everything if you are foolish.”
Because he liked to make fun of me, as if he were a fox, not a wolf.
At that moment, I heard the voice of an old man shouting in the distance.
“Hero, do you know what you did!!”
The Demon Lord of Battery, Head Ayke, shouted at me while being hit by Kynel’s Shine Advance.
Wow, Yellowy’s head moves enough to avoid bullets. After all, light is faster than bullets.
“Licht, you saved Mardol…. He said he was tired of waiting.”
“As expected, Mr. Pugu!”
After Shine Advance’s duration expired, Kainel returned to Finene’s side and looked behind her. Ariel also smiled brightly at the glass knight standing up,
“Oh. I’m sure… My legs and arms….”
And then, in front of us, blue-haired Dennis stood up with his right arm on the ground with his whole body restored.
Savior Sword is a wide-area skill that heals people around you.
“Learn Shine Advance to Kainel, and even fix Dennis…?!”
“Why, are there any complaints? Head?”
Because it’s a higher level skill than normal healing magic. This much was natural.
“If this happens, all the prophecies will be twisted!!”
Prophecy, prophecy. Are you speculating on people’s future with imperfect batteries and trying to harm people like this with your own beliefs?
“If touching our Fine is a prophecy, then I’m going to fuck myself. I want to tell you head.”
“..Wait, how do you remember Fine Grancia..!! Warrior!!”
Hesitating, she made a surprised expression as she looked at our saintess with her head up. Is it correct to use the authority of ignorance?
“I can’t do this. He must have been hit by a bullet!! Even my enhanced ignorance got rid of it..?!!”
Come to think of it, yes. Fine, who was next to me, was not forgotten by anyone, and it didn’t seem like she had lost any memories.
“Boy, you are not just an ordinary hero..!!”
“..Since a while ago, I have been a hero, a hero. Noisy.”
I called Ki-woo. He immediately pulled out the sword stuck in the ground and aimed it at his head.
“I am not a warrior. Head.”
“Then what the hell is a guy who neutralizes my ignorance and battery!!”
“The Black Knight. That is also a pure love black knight.”
To be exact, the pure love black knight of Grand Hearts Academy. He forced Kainel, Ariel, and Dennis to retreat and blocked the demon king’s way.
“..The Demon King of Battery doesn’t even know that.”
“Yes, you, you..!!”
I knew it instinctively. For some reason, Head Ake’s ability doesn’t work for me. Besides, it can release the ignorance that has already been caught.
“Well, Head, you were just an asshole.”
I met her Heavenly Demon and did not lose her memories, and she was the one who taught her swordsmanship.
