The figure that Renault was desperately looking for seemed to sense his arrival, raised his head with great difficulty, and slowly looked in his direction.

The glasses that used to be worn on the face are broken.

The eyes that were full of seriousness in the past cannot be brought back.

Gazed at by the pair of eyes that had dilated their pupils, as if they could no longer see clearly what was in front of them, Renault's blank head could not produce thoughts at all.

It wasn't until half a second later that Renault couldn't help but shout.

"Why didn't you enter the Basket?

Shouting like this, Renault rushed to Matthew's side almost shaking.

In response, Matthew smiled as if he didn't feel the pain.

"Because, the seniors said that they would come back soon..."

That's it, right?

In order to wait for Renault to return, Matthew did not enter the "Basket Body" to prepare for the transfer of the spirit child, and eventually became a victim of this sudden fire.

“————！”

Renault clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and could only gasp violently to suppress the intense emotions in his heart.

"I'll get you out first!"

After the suppressed words, Renault activated the magic circuit in his body, causing the magic to surge.

"Demon Ant Summoning!"

This is one of the three magic skills that Renault has learned that can summon intermediate demons.

The surging magic power suddenly formed a Rubik's Cube, and the ants that were as huge as dogs were summoned.

"Click..."

"Click..."

The demon ants rubbed their fang-like mouthparts and made a piercing sound like fingernails rubbing against glass.

Reynolds manipulated the demon ants one by one, scattering them around the huge concrete clods and starting to move.

"Boom!"

More than 10 demon ants unleashed their incredible powers, pushing away huge blocks of concrete larger than a room and rolling into the fire, causing a roar.

"Senpai...?"

"Don't talk! I'll take you out now!"

Renaud squandered his physical strength, which had already reached the limit, deliberately did not look at Matthew's miserable lower body, and prepared to carry Matthew on his back.

As long as Matthew is taken out, Renaud believes that his old brother who will only be lazy and is now in a panic must have a way to save her.

Just as Renault held on to this last glimmer of hope and moved Matthew to the automatic door of the control room, and was about to go out...

"The wall was activated. ”

"Central area, blockade. ”

In the cold and ruthless announcement, a door rose from the top, bottom, left and right of the automatic door, and slumped together, sealing the control room.

Renault stopped three times.

Looking at the blocked automatic door in front of him, he could no longer speak. "Bang... Bang bang..."

As the flames grew, more and more stones fell from the ceiling, as if they were about to collapse, causing the entire control room to crumble and cause explosions.

Both Renaud and Matthew stared at the completely closed door in front of them in a daze, and fell silent.

Renault is understood.

Neither he nor Matthew could leave here.

The door of the control room is specially made, and the measures for magic are also very good, even the highest magician cannot break it by brute force, even if it is by physical means, if you want to break this door that is stronger than steel, you don't know how much, the difficulty is conceivable.

Unless you can summon a superior demon, it's worth a try.

Otherwise, with the current Renault, there will be no escape from here. Pen in Chinese

And if you can't escape here, there is no need to talk about the end.

Not only will Matthew not be saved, but even Renaud himself will be consumed by the flames and lose this hard-won life.

That's how it is now.

Suddenly, Renault didn't know how to react.

As for Matthew, his voice rang out slightly.

"I'm sorry... Predecessor... It's all because of me..."

The fragile voice, which seemed to disappear at any moment, and the guilt contained in the voice, made people feel distressed.

But, for some reason, hearing this voice, Renault felt calm.

It's clear that they are about to die, but their mood is incredibly calm.

And the impression is even more crisp.

"Well, there's no way around it. ”

Renault's voice returned to its usual rambling and smiled as if relaxed.

This made all the thousand words in Matthew's heart dissipate, turning into a weak but unusually beautiful smile.

"Senior... Sure enough, it's still a senior..."

Matthew was left with this mood left.

The flames grew again, engulfing both Renault and Matthew.

Renaud hugged Matthew and sat in front of the blocked gate, looking out at the sea of fire in front of him.

"Senior..."

I don't know how long it took, but Matthew's weak voice rang out again.

"I remember when we first met... Is it?"

This sentence made Renault's memories immediately pulled into the past.

That was two years ago.

At that time, Renault had been in the Chaldees for a year.

As the existence with the best qualifications of the Lord's Competent Person in the current record, although Renaud was welcomed by many people when he came to Chaldea, but in that year, Renault's various non-cooperation with Chaldea has gradually worn out Chaldean's patience, so that his interpersonal relationship in Chaldea has fallen to the lowest point.

To put it bluntly, except for Roman, Renault at that time could not see anyone else approaching at all.

This was something that Renault couldn't ask for at that time.

"Instead of wasting time with these guys who don't know what inhuman magic experiments are going on behind the scenes, I might as well play a game. ”

Renault sincerely held these thoughts, and at the same time held the resistance to the Chaldeans, and lived a life alone.

Sometimes it's doing magic in places that others don't know.

Sometimes I'm playing a game alone in my room.

Except for Roman personally coming to let Renault go out and cooperate with some checks, Renault has not stepped out of the door.

This was Renault's life in Chaldea two years ago.

A life of utter loneliness.

Until one day...

"Her name is Matthew Gileadlet, and she will live in the Chaldees like you, so you must get along well. ”

Roman suddenly came to him with a girl of the same age as Renault, and introduced the girl standing beside him to Renault.

Renault still remembers Matthew at that time.

Shoulder-length short hair that is no different from today.

A delicate face that is no different from today.

A wonderful atmosphere that is no different from today.

An intellectual appearance that is no different from today.
