Without the Rubik's Cube and unable to contact the Jade They, I was locked in this house by my uncle like a canary, and there were heavily armed soldiers outside, and there was a maid guarding the door of the room at all times, and there was no way to escape from here.

[Miss, it's time for dinner, and the master is already waiting for you in the restaurant.] 】

The maid pushed open the door and walked in.

"I see. 】

Not only to take care of me, but this maid seemed to be a mystical mage, she could sense my presence in the house, and she walked in every time she opened the window to escape.

After tidying up my clothes, I followed her to the dining place, exquisite and gorgeous tableware, special food with hometown style. After dining with my uncle, I was suddenly stopped.

[Thelis, we're leaving here tomorrow morning, and there's a show for us before that, and a box has been prepared for you. 】

My uncle said this to me, I thought it was the tradition of the East Country and didn't care, and I thought about how to secretly leave here to say goodbye to the Jade Princess, until the next day I sat in the box and saw that familiar figure.

[Hyunwoo? 】

It was a little far away, but I recognized him at a moment's notice.

At this moment the mage maid opened her mouth and said to me:

[Master Deas made a pact with the young man, as long as the boy can defeat Mr. Yas, he will be able to get the opportunity to say goodbye to the young lady.] 】

[How can this be! 】

I already know how strong the man named Yas is, and as a martial artist, the man has already achieved the title of Bone Crusher, which is a secondary advanced class. How could Hyunwoo, who was an advanced profession, be that man's opponent.

[Miss just needs to watch here.] It's just a competition, and both sides will point to the end. 】

Even though I was uneasy, I still stood by the window of the box and watched the battle between the two, and sure enough, Xianyu was suppressed by Yas from the beginning, I don't know why he never drew his long sword, but seeing him constantly injured, I couldn't help but want to leave here to help him. He reached out to open the door to the box, but it didn't move.

[Useless miss, the door can't be opened until the end of this competition.] 】

[Damn! 】

I banged the door in front of me, but it seemed to be locked by something, and I turned my eyes to the window and punched it hard.

The seemingly fragile window made a crashing sound, and if his fist didn't work, he changed his elbow and hit the window hard. It feels like hitting steel, and when you try to use magic, you find that there are no elements in this room at all.

[All possibilities have been considered, and the only way to open this room is to open the door from the outside. 】

The maid's words cut off all my thoughts, and I leaned on the window and watched the battle of Xianyu outside, he seemed to be in a desperate situation, and at some point the long sword he drew had some kind of spell attached to it, but after the fierce collision, it still failed to break the man's defenses.

I can't bear to look at it anymore, I know that he won't admit defeat easily, and the only possibility is to be beaten by a man until he loses the ability to resist. Slowly sit down on the ground. In the end, I only hurt him, and if I hadn't shown resistance at the time, he wouldn't have struggled here anymore.

Clenched my fists and let my nails tingle my palms, every second was a torment for me.

Just when I was almost desperate, a warm sensation gradually rose from the palm of my hand, at first I thought it was my own delusion, but that strange touch...... Even though he didn't have anything in his hand, he seemed to be holding something.

(Lend me strength...... I don't want to leave with the look on Theris's face at the end! ）

Hyunwoo's voice rang in my head, and I jerked my head up and looked around to see that the maid didn't seem to notice anything unusual. When I got up from the ground, I saw Hyunwoo, who was scarred but still holding on.

The strange feeling grew stronger and stronger, and when I closed my eyes, I felt as if I had left this body, and a voice sounded in my head—using the Light-Chaser.

I subconsciously released the spell, but the lightsaber didn't appear in my hand, which is a matter of course, there are no attached items and there are not enough elements, how can it be possible to use the lightsaber. It's my hallucination, right?

However, in the next second, something incredible appeared in front of my eyes, the long sword in Xianyu's hand on the martial arts arena was covered with a layer of pale golden holy light, and I was stunned for a moment when I looked at the familiar light, could it be that it was the light-chasing sword I summoned just now?

Just as I was thinking this, the scenery in front of me suddenly flickered, and I saw Mr. Yas standing in front of me, his perspective shaking rapidly, Yas disappeared from view, and I remembered the day when I was knocked unconscious.

(You can't defend yourself against attacks from the back of the neck!) ）

As soon as my vision flashed, I found myself back in front of the window of the box, but what I saw was Hyeonwoo, who suddenly protected the back of his neck.

Seeing this scene, I was sure that everything before was not my hallucination, there was some mysterious power that connected me with Hyunwoo, and Hyunwoo, who worked hard for me, got my power, and even if I was standing here, I could do something for him.

(In that case, please use me to your heart's content!) ）

I closed my eyes, completely emptied myself, my body seemed to fly up gradually, and there was an unfamiliar perspective in front of me, but I already knew that this was what Xianyu's eyes saw, and what I felt was his mood, a sense of trust came from all around, and an inexplicable flame seemed to be burning my heart, was this also his emotion? Can he feel me, too?

So hot, so resolute!

I saw Yas strike that pose, and I couldn't seem to hear Hyunwoo's heart.

(That's right, I can't do it, it's not something I can fight against, because I'm not good at defense.) ）

(Empty yourself of everything, then leave this body to the experts of defensive warfare.) ）

He said this, and then I felt my five senses sink, and there was weight on my body, and I seemed to be holding something in my hand, and I could inexplicably feel the trust from him.

For the first time, he unconsciously made the action that has been used thousands of times, bent his legs and moved downward, leaned forward with his left hand, and then summoned - the shield of light!

Seeing Yas unprepared for the light shield, I swung my arm vigorously to deflect the enemy's direction.

And then—[Shield Strike!] 】

After that, my consciousness suddenly returned to my body, and the rapid shift made me feel a little unreal, but what I saw in front of me made me realize that it was all true.

Yas fell to the ground, and he seemed to say something, and then the emperor smiled and spoke to Hyunwoo as well.

[It must have been a miracle of the goddess just now.] 】

I leaned against the window and thought.
