- Fulfilling, since when was this a battle?

There is no precise measure of time due to a concentration that does not look at the flow of time.

Dropping off the reflected light that fundamentally disappeared from the blade tip of the erected sword, the man - Shining Trinity ran out all the way.

I'm pulling out my sword, but it's under the enemy, no matter what. What is now relative is undoubtedly its own enemy.

Enemy that captures such a sudden assault on this one in sight and raises an unusual voice.

In contrast, he showers a stupid flash all the time trying to be two.

Top to bottom. This is the slaughter of the late Thunder. And it was the nails that stuck out to respond to it.

Huge enough to be even comparable, such as human nails, black nails as if immersed in pitch black.

That hits the blade tip down. I can guess.

Hard collision sounds honking around, antagonizing swords and nails.

They were making a noise of impatience, as they anxiously awaited twitching and settlement.

It's all I can get into the sword on it. I just shove my sword in here saying it's the right way to slash it.

Sure, the focus from antagonism won't give you a decisive blow, but you can still sharpen your opponent's power. Now that's what I need for myself. Let the opponent lay a slight disadvantage on top of each other, smashing the guard and winning.

――□□□□□□□

The strange scream of the enemy strikes his ear.

Do you understand how easy it is to speak people's language and to get back to the public immediately after stripping them of their skin?

With such a deafening murmur, tear the sky from the right into six and dodge the approaching left nail, dropping the body.

It was a cluttered blow to shake off even the scraps. That equals no precise aim. So let it go. I can't hit it.

The more this one cuts his next hand, the more gaps he'll make.

Slash therefore. Slash vertically the blade of a double-edged sword against gravity from bottom to top. The blowing wind swept out his hand, but the reflex nerve in front of the enemy sent him away.

"- Ho, flaming! Stinscarrett!"

Immediately afterwards, unfamiliar cheers are emitted from the rear. The Lord of the Voice is the Water Tree. Cover this way. The magic unleashed is Scarlet's Baptism, an intermediate magic of fire.

Activated in two words in conjunction with a key word, it produces an amorphous band of combustion in the air to color the blue background with dense red.

Air to blow up.

Vision that discolors into oranges.

The wind pressure created by a small explosion is always beating the ground somewhere.

And then he jumps back without looking back. At the next moment, the flame fell to envelop the enemy as it continued to reshape as if to flirt with the subject's thoughts.

Flames that add momentum abruptly. Fire is a very similar thing to a creature. It is with organisms that they gain momentum when fed.

"Yay!

The joy of water trees holds back your back, but it is a boost to alarm. He seemed to think he had defeated him by magic, but it's still too early for the enemy's death.

Staring into his eyes, the enemy's shadow is still faintly stirring in flames.

Seeing it, he restarted his sword, while the magic flame went out.

Did you shake off the flames with your arms? He stood on his hindquarters with one arm spread straight across him.

A masterpiece standing in the flames of the sun.

There you are the last of the fruits scattered across the ground. I have set myself up to know and not know the brave, the right enemy for me.

Paved with their blood and flesh, their heels synchronize with each other.

Look ahead.

Yes, that look that's not a person. The person who stands up to you is an outsider. It is in the form of a man, but a different species from man, the Demonic Race.

Bearing the wings of a bat, beside his head are two horns that extend gnarly toward heaven. The whole body is stained with red rust, and the face is unlike a human except it has an eye-to-nose mouth. The style is reminiscent of the daemons that come out of the story.

A black nail protruded by a gaze in front of me, dull and glowing.

As powerful as it is, it has been proven by the trees and rock masses that have become a mess around it.

Every one of the five claws on those hands is equal to the sickle of the Reaper, because of the mighty power of the Demon clan.

Demons distort their faces to joy as they do. What that means is an affront. Perhaps in the current clash, he was convinced even in his unwavering advantage.

Neither the force nor the speed of the previous integration was the full force of the opponent. So that's the face I thought I could make up my mind about next, that one.

- Demons move. Pull the blowing sand smoke behind your back and accelerate over here. Fast. Unparalleled by earlier movements.

Visionary, a clear vision of the end of the octave. Pressed by that strength and speed, he'll be able to play the sword and fly himself, he can't do anything before his fierce nails.

But it's “as it is now," and...

"Burn Boost......"

Allow magic to pass through your body and call to the elements of fire.

Power in my hands.

The magical keywords that I told so cold instantly empower me. Enhancement.

The power with which the flames surround and overflow the body. And with an overflowing all-powerful look, he shoots at his opponent.

――■■■■■■

What suddenly changed was the complexion of the devil clan that tried to flesh out here.

I'm sure he didn't really think he killed him. But he misread. This is the first time in this battle that the magic of fortification has occurred.

"Whoa, whoa!!

And his certainty of victory turns into overconfidence.

Without even listening to the strange groans that paid for that affront, he roared, and with his newly added power, he himself pruned the neck of the impending demon clan into a single letter.

... In the aftermath of the flame, the fine sand that rolls up turns into red dust and disappears. And make sure there's no more enemy shadows around, take a breath.

"Hmm...... I still managed today"

- Before Shuiming left Metail, Trinity and the others, who had left Royal Castle Camelia, were now on their way to the Autonomous Province of Sardias United in the West, rather than moving on to the Demon King's Crusade, the ultimate purpose of their journey.

Destination that seems so irrelevant to the Demon King Crusade, but it is for a reason that their purpose has departed from the reason for summoning.

Both the summoned Trinity II and Mizuki were called by a peaceful country in a different world from here - Japan, so completely amateur when it comes to combat, an experience that only training in the Royal Castle could be called the most battle-like battle for them.

For this reason, you may then suffer defeat when you encounter enemies that cannot be dealt with solely by your experience in the Royal Castle, the protection of Yingjie's summons, or the magic of what you are currently gaining.

They are now in the middle of a roundabout to crush the possibility of defeat.

When you do, you gain a lot of power to beat the Demons. In order to become a weapon and gain skill, it was halfway down the road in an attempt to first gauge contact with one of the swordsmen known as the Seven Swords, who are staying in the Autonomous Province of Sardias United as their first act.

So, suddenly, we were raided by demons, and to this day.

... Sucking the blood of the demon clan, the sword of the demonic and radiant Orihalcon.

One of the finest dishes in the kingdom of Astel, Trinity II, the last of them united, confirmed once again that the demons had died and rushed under the water tree.

"Mizuki. Are you okay?

And he breathes on his shoulders and hangs a voice of care toward her as he blues his face.

Then the water tree, while about to be swallowed by the aftermath of the battlefield, barely.

"Ugh, yeah. I don't know. But..."

"But?"

"This is the fight, what is it? With the enemy..."

"... oh"

Heavily endorse the words of the water tree that were emitted to squeeze it out of its blue face.

Until we got here, Trinity and the others had fought with the demons several times. This is a fantasy world with many undeveloped areas. Naturally, creatures like those never seen in the other world come to eat and kill themselves.

It would be quite natural to take it down and move on. We haven't divulged much of ourselves, and we have.

But Mizuki has not participated in the battle so far. At the discretion of the accompanying knights, he was only watching nearby, as it required some familiarity with the field.

The magical arm of the water tree has reached a point where it is no longer comparable to itself or Teatania. Advanced magic can be handled.

But still, she's Japanese, too.

Even in the other world, it would be the race most unrelated to the battle. Before the power to fight, it's deadly not even ready.

Therefore, there was a period of familiarity. So this was the first time she fought with us.

"Mizuki. I knew I shouldn't have..."

I wonder if I shouldn't have let you fight, and hang on to it again.

But the water tree shakes its neck to the side and does not receive that worry.

"Yeah. I can't just watch. Sure, I've never fought before, and my opponents were demons, and I was terrified, but I have to help Trijukun more than I followed."

"Mizuki..."

"... I don't care what your mouth says.... Yeah, that's amazing. Triju-kun was at all at first."

"That's not true. Even I was scared of the first battle, and now that I'm getting used to it, I still can't stop having a heart bug."

That was not a rest or anything, it was true. As with the water trees, I have yet to shake off my fears myself.

Even though I said I was going to defeat the Demon King, I was only a soldier for him. Even now, I felt like I knew how much I had no idea.

(... Shuiming)

So, uh, a friend's face crosses the back of his brain.

A friend who broke up at the castle - Eight Keys Shuiming - was looking at reality. Every time I said that there was no way I could do it, I kept denying it, but how correct was that?

I guess he had a better view of the road than himself, who was meant to be omnipotent with power - no, that's why he didn't get power.

I was ideally present at the time. Unusual that came down. A fantasy world far from modern culture.

I was under the illusion that you would be able to help me with all my hopes.

It was an affront to fear.

What shall I say without calling it stupid? I can't think of any other words.

Certainly, depending on future action, we will be able to dispel that. Fear is due to lack of experience and skill. Now he's moving to make up for it by the time he challenges the Demon King.

I have a plan. to overturn this shallow behavior.

- But still, it doesn't change that my shallow self involves a girl who is a dear friend right now.

(Sorry......)

I leaned down and saw the water tree still breathing on my shoulder. And how many times have I apologized that way already? I apologize in my heart now because I had too many in my mouth and they told me I didn't have to apologize anymore.

That's true if you're told you're just misleading your self-blame with an apology to others. I know that's my weakness, but I won't be able to stop it.

"... shall we change places"

"... yeah"

He took the water tree that nodded at the proposal and left the battlefield where the demonic body rolled.

"- Mizuki! Are you okay!?

From side to side, there's a girl's voice. It belongs to my buddy, Titania.

Has she also defeated the demons who were elsewhere with the knights? Follow the magnificent knight diagonally backwards and rush over here.

A water tree that answers that with its face up.

"Yeah. I'm fine."

"Good...... Apparently, it didn't matter."

"There was Trijukun."

In words, two people hugging each other on the spot. For the first time, the atmosphere of the field eases to the relief smile and temperament smile across the street.

"Tia, good day"

And I stand beside those two, and when I work so hard, I humbly thank Titania.

"Thank you for your concern, Master Reggie"

"No... Mr. Gregory is tired too"

And when I put the effort on Gregory, the magnificent knight I had refrained from, he always had a serious face.

"No, I was just covering for Her Royal Highness. No hard work."

"That's not true," he said to Gregory, humbled, "I don't think so," and bowed his head deeply.

"- So, Tia. What about you?"

"Yes. I got rid of this one without any problems. There is no such thing as a single demon clan."

"That's Tia. I can count on you."

"No, me, etc. Compared to Lady Reggie's strength, it's just not there yet. But..."

"What's going on?

"... they've crushed all the horses. I'm sorry."

"... well. I feel sorry for them for giving me a ride, but I'm glad Tia and the others are safe."

"Dear Reggie..."

When I give Titania encouragement, do you feel it? Horses will be killed and it will be difficult in the future, but it is nevertheless a pleasure that no one was missing in the current battle.

Then from the side, a swinging voice of confidence hung.

"... Tia's fine with the fight, too."

"Yeah, I have a little bit of experience in action, too"

A water tree that listens to Titania's answers and makes a strange look.

"You're a princess, why?

"Since Lady Reggie's summons was decided, I was chosen to accompany him, so I was supposed to train him."

"It was..."

To Titania's answer, the point goes.

She is the princess of one country. It was thought to be far from fighting in a different way from our own, but we had actually fought and we knew that was not the case.

He also actively participates in the battle against demons and engages in a struggle against wizards.

A girl who breeds a noble atmosphere from every inch of her movement, but the fruit, the power and the sentiment to fight, she was prepared from the beginning.

Is there a reason for that?

Therefore, the end of the water tree will be smaller because of the lack of confidence. It's like eating leftovers from the people around you. I can't help it.

Have you perceived such a water tree disappointment, or Titania hangs the words of encouragement that the disappointment is a mistake.

"Mizuki. Nothing to worry about. I was just like you at first, no, worse than that."

"... Were you?

"Yes, I had the same flow as you until I could row into action, but when the first battle was over, I was on the ground."

"So, you're fighting normally?

"It's because I had that experience. So when I couldn't keep up with the summoned brave man, I thought I'd have to be extra strong."

"So, like now,"

"Yes, I managed to take shape"

When Titania confesses her reasons and efforts, she speaks to Mizuki.

"Confident, Mizuki. Not yet."

"Yeah."

Water trees nod forcefully at Titania's encouragement. Did you get rid of the anxiety?

I'm glad to see the two people who help each other like that.

I can do this, he said.

What a good story to talk about, even though you were so annoyed by the blame earlier. I'm aware of that, but it still doesn't change what I've been courageous about.

It was in there.

For some reason, the water tree frowns as if worried. I just opened my eyebrows, but what's wrong?

"Sumiaki-kun, are you okay..."

Oh, and I'm good at that word. Is that the cause of the worry?

Then.

"Swimey, is it? He did say he was leaving the castle after a while..."

"Yeah. Outside of town... it was fine right outside, but the streets and the lack of prospects are dangerous, so if you were out of town, you wouldn't have to meet demons like this."

"Right. I don't think there's anything like Swimey going on a journey by herself who refused to crusade, but if you still haven't learned magic like Lady Reggie or Mizuki, as you fear, if you get out of town and meet demons, you won't have one."

And it's a street that makes it hard for Titania to face. Because of issues such as water, food, itinerary, danger, or purpose, it won't be the first time that Mizuming travels alone - if you think about it, you know what it's like for both of us to be afraid.

Because if that's what makes him out of town for getting some kind of job for a living, there's no way he's got any bright prospects.

But that's two opinions, somewhat different from what I think.

"No, Mizumi would be fine."

.... What makes you think that, Master Reggie?

"Yeah. Shuiming has swordsmanship, so I'm sure he'll be able to stand around well when he gets out there."

I can see Titania's, hazy expression poked at her expression from an unexpected place.

"Is Swimey getting sword moves?

"Oh."

Affirmatively, the two of them face each other. Unexpectedly, Mizuki didn't seem to know, and he shook his neck sideways to Titania's gaze that it was an unknown first ear.

Yes, Mizumi is a swordsman. Regardless of the limitations of the other world, you have never dealt with a real sword, but Shuiming is certainly a swordsman.

"But Trijukun. Sumiaki-kun's not a Kendo guy, is he?

And the lord of inquiry is the water tree. As she wonders, Shuiming is not a Kendo member but a so-called homecoming member. I have a lot of opportunities to go abroad on business with relatives, and I am not in the club.

Answer Mizuki's question with Titania on her ass tilting her little neck next to her without knowing what the homecoming agent means.

"I went to a dojo near my house, not a school club."

"Uh... there was a kendo dojo in the neighborhood...?

"That's it. of escort."

Such a short answer to a water tree that still doesn't get to the answer even when you think of the geography of the town.

Then, before she was convinced, there was only one place she could think of.

"Over there? Doing a classroom on escort for women? Sure, it's famous in the neighborhood, but it's not a kendo dojo over there, is it?

"Yeah. They usually only teach escort as the sign suggests. But it's a dojo of ancient martial arts, and it teaches all kinds of things to those who want it."

"Really!? That's what happened over there!?

"Oh. Mizumi said"

"Liar... I've been with a kid in my class too... and ancient martial arts..."

When the story was definitely spoken, was it water in the sleeping ear on the water tree? I have been there to teach the art of escort, and I am more surprised than I thought.

Sure, I don't think there's such a place in the neighborhood. When I first heard it myself, I remember raising my voice.

"So Shui Ming-kun is an old-fashioned user of comics or something?

"Apparently."

Then, now Titania.

"To listen to you, Swimey is with a martial artist"

"Oh. At the level of our world. So I guess I can't compare you to someone doing martial arts over here. Mizumi is a swordsman."

"Was it? Surprisingly, it didn't look like we could do anything rough at first glance."

"Yeah. Sure, it doesn't usually look like that at all, but that sounds pretty good. I heard it again."

Yes, my knowledge of it doesn't leave the realm. I've never been to the dojo myself, and I've stood up to the town's defects with Shuiming, but naturally he couldn't have used swordsmanship or anything at that time. I've never seen it before.

Teatania seems to have taken this statement as optimistic, and throws an objection.

"But I don't think that's why you can get away with it."

Did you even think of the time when some uneasy colors seeped through? Surely, as Titania said, there will be no connection between doing swordsmanship and being safe.

As a matter of fact, Mizumi is not in action with the demons. Besides, there is no certainty that martial arts assume versus humans will prevail.

But can't you just say that it unilaterally leads to dangerous things?

And.

"Shuiming, that's not going to get you out of it.... because sometimes I do inadvertent things out of common sense, but I'm basically cautious"

"Even if we meet demons, we'll stand around well," he said? It's often said that if you meet a demon, you can't move because you're stared at. "

"Right. It could be the wind on the willow."

"Is it..."

Not convinced or flattered face. I guess it's because I fully understand the danger as the one who lives this world.

But Shuiming is also a watery, unexpectedly fearless character. Even when I was surrounded by defects before, I could afford to invincibly say, "That's about it." Before and after the rough things are always a slack look - anyway.

Besides, Mizumi, as far as she knows, doesn't compete head-on. Somewhat of a person who makes a fool of himself. I am more resourceful than myself and others when it comes to standing around.

"Well, I guess that's why I'm not so worried"

"If Master Reggie says so"

Do you want to say that you don't care? More than that, Titania stopped trying to argue.

And that's when. Suddenly Mizuki turned this way to see what he thought.

"... then Trijukun. Mizumin-kun, I've managed to be a drifting swordsman, Mizuki Hachi! Do I say something like that? Can you use awesome swordsmanship or something?

"Heh? No, whatever it is. It's"

"Because it's ancient martial arts! Ancient martial arts! Murder that overwhelms existing martial arts is super martial arts based on it!

What fantasies does Mizuki have about ancient martial arts that she speaks so hot? Murder may indeed be so by nature, but it is not entirely true that ancient martial arts outweigh modern martial arts.

Besides, when I talked to Shuiming, he said it wasn't so different from a regular swordwalk.

However, Tia would like to receive the words of the water tree as they are.

"Is it murder..."

"That's right, that's right, Tia. The ancient martial arts of Japan envisage a battle under all circumstances, and they can strike, throw, and excel in one move at the same time, or they reach the realm of divinity in swordsmanship."

........

Content or seriousness? Teatania who drinks saliva which overwhelmed her.

I mean, where does Shura use martial arts to talk about that combination technique?

"... well, I don't think Mizuki can do that either."

"Ha ha..."

Then it is.

So, when the water tree finishes explaining one thing, now what's up, puffy? inflate cheeks.

"Uh-oh, Mizumin-kun is definitely not a medium two disease! Hide who you are, or what you're gonna say. - Shit!

Is that the focus of anger after all? He's more angry about what he's learning than he was about keeping quiet.

But.

"Beh, I can't say enough about Mizumi because she wasn't making two statements inside like Mizuki... ah"

It was a later festival when I realized that I had uttered a ban.

Look at the water tree. She was smiling awesomely.

"Ra ~ i ~ j ~ ku ~"

"Oh, sorry! Follow me!"

"Promise! Don't forget!

"Ugh, yeah!

Yes, that's a promise I won't tell you. A past that I want to keep sealed by water trees. She says it's a secret garden.

That's where Titania is.

What do you mean, "Mizuki"?

"Huh!?... eh, that's..."

"What is it? Is it some kind of bad disease?

"Uh-huh, yeah, yeah! That's right! It's an evil disease where the majority of children in their early teens suffer from the other world, and even then they heal, and then they leave a very horrible after-effect!

The water tree answers Titania's question with horror. And then he waves his hands and hangs hard to delude himself.

The feeling of not wanting to be diffused conveys a hint, but in the end the aftermath is the rust that came out of me.

When Mizuki finishes answering the question appropriately, is this story enough?

The teatania made his expression look bad.

"Well, it's about the Demons."

"Ugh, yeah. With that said, you are, aren't you? I wonder why the Demons showed up here."

"Demons, or..."

"Yes......"

And, teatania nods.

As there were concerns about water trees, the emergence of demons came through raids and has always been of concern to me. We are now taking them down and restoring a lot of calm, and we are making the necessary leeway to think about it.

It would be now to talk.

Remind me again of the herd of demons I fought earlier, and say my own answer to the water tree that seeped anxiety in my face again.

The Demons have attacked the Nerferia Empire.

"Ya, I knew it, is it...?

"Yeah. If you think about it in due course, isn't that most likely? That's what it means to have a demon clan."

And, when you present the speculation you come up with, the face of the water tree hardens.

Naturally, even though we're not used to it yet, there's a chance that we'll have to fight the Demons again soon. Demons are more powerful than demons and beasts.

Some say that if demons can be defeated with the magic of water trees earlier, but if they are strong demons, they will not even suffer burns. The last Demon clan I dealt with is a good example.

After all, anxiety will hang around.

Then, Titania denies such speculation.

"- No, I was wondering if it was there yet."

"Why not? Tia."

"Yes. As Lady Reggie said, this is the realm of the Empire. If the Demons showed up there, they could certainly have invaded, but in fact, the Demons still haven't made a big move just dropping Nosius. You can't come here without crossing two countries and one mountain range to invade here, so I was wondering how much a forcible army would cost without looking over there."

Water trees sympathize with the idea.

"That's right. Even if you can't march here, your army will be isolated."

"It would benefit the Demons to move the army to a place like this without dropping the previous two countries... no, it doesn't have to be."

"Yes."

Leading Teatania. Indeed, she is right, if it is moving significantly, the matter of isolation is a major obstacle. If a man with a legitimate head advances a large number of soldiers, it is up to him to establish supply lines, garrisons, roads to safely replenish his forces, and then steadily.

Without it, if you just go on with the military, you will be slapped in isolation and defenceless. There's nothing good about it, just damage it.

But.

"But now the Demons were here. It's not like there's an army of demons here. It's like this."

"That's right. That's the problem.."

"Spy...... I didn't know it was something like that?

"Supa......?

"Uh, it's about spies in our world."

"Oh, I see. But..."

"Yeah. I don't know about that"

Representing the tip of Titania's words, the water tree tilts its neck.

"Why?"

"If they existed, they wouldn't bother to set us up. If those guys were spies, they'd have been doing something around here originally. Then there's no way to abandon it and set me up."

"Oh well. I don't even know if I can take him down."

"Oh. Maybe they'd set us up if they knew we were brave, but they didn't seem to know that"

Earlier fights had a strong feeling that they had been set up because they had just run into each other. If you were going to set me up knowing I was a brave man, it would have been a small number warriorly, and there shouldn't be any technique in the devil clan to know I was a brave man in the first place.

"So I don't know."

Frowning, Uhm, beside Teatania, who roared at the mystery under her eyes, Trinity turned to the magnificent knight.

"What do you think, Mr. Gregory?

When asked so, Gregory, a skilled knight, bowed his head as if he were done.

"... I'm sorry, but I can't even imagine what the Demons think."

"Have you noticed anything? Anything trivial is fine."

".. Lord Brave. I think it's more important that I get out of here as soon as possible."

That's Gregory's word anyway. It was a suggestion for his abrupt exit, which was serious and always rigorous. >
