Lost, lost, lost...... It's like losing what you once had.

That prophecy seemed to make him unbelievable.

But is that really the case?

"What is this, what is this?" Loki kept asking himself over and over again.

This doesn't look like "still alive" at all......

"It shouldn't be like this, should it?"

Over and over again, he searched for hope that seemed to loom in the cracks of despair, but now he did everything he could to reach out......

He still couldn't hold on to anything but air.

"Are we late?"

And at this moment, it seems that everyone's face is full of surprise, incomprehension, and disbelief.

Unable to accept what they are witnessing......

They could never imagine that sometimes heroic posture; Her Royal Highness Lafria, who sometimes did not hesitate to show the bright smile of an ordinary girl......

would end his journey in such a tragic way.

"I don't care what method you use, anyway, you have to be responsible for waking her up!"

"Loki, calm down!"

Klaus desperately grabbed Loki, who was yelling at the medics.

It's just that he can still listen to it at this moment-

In the end, Gakherys gave him such a slap in the face-

"No matter how sad you are, nothing will change the status quo! Do you understand?! ”

"Now, everyone's mood is the same......"

This kind of thing is really enough!

This kind of endless sadness is no longer experienced.

"Sorry......"

It's a fleeting nightmare, but it's all too real.

Even to the point of being unexpected......

In front of you, you can see a riverbed that is in harmony with the endless forest......

So, they set up a makeshift tent on top of it—

"It's okay, it's going to get better......"

This may be something that no one wants to hear now, right?

However, I have to look forward to it like this-

Other than that, there are very few that can be done......

"Rocky ......"

Klaus saw him trembling and fell to his knees, and wanted to subdue him, but Loki mercilessly shook off his outstretched hand-

"Oh, you......"

"Be optimistic—"

He sighed and said......

At this time, I don't know whose stomach made a loud noise!

Suddenly, Klaus couldn't help laughing......

"Okay, okay, even if it's a complaint, I'll just listen to you while eating-"

It's so shameless!

“......”

Yes, to all of them, Vane's name was the equivalent of the lives of all of them......

Because it was she and her brother Lemuel who gave all the people who are here now a reason to live.

So......

So even if they traded their lives, they wouldn't regret it!

You don't even have to think about this kind of thing.

It would be nice if it could be solved in such a simple way......

But then again, tonight's meal tasted really good-

Klaus looked at Gahaerys, who was busy working not far away, and couldn't help but whisper to Loki, "That guy, he must be a good wife, right?" ”

"Well, indeed...... Wait, why are you saying to me-"

"I mean, it's almost time for you to think about it now, right?"

However, Loki's attitude in an instant had to be misunderstood......

- He's not interested in women!

"Boring...... How can you think about this now......"

The moment the words fell, Klaus shook his head again and again-

"You're really hopeless."

At this moment, he clearly wrote this on his face.

At the same time, everyone was praying in unison, praying for the "miracle" that seemed to be like fireflies......

However, are the so-called "miracles" the existence that can happen just by praying?

Obviously, this is not the case.

The fragility of life is obvious, yet there is no doubt that its tenacity is sometimes breathtaking.

"Don't you think that guy has an apron and feels like that?"

"Which?"

I always feel that this guy is talking a lot of nonsense tonight......

Is this just a delusion?

But as far as the current situation is concerned, each of them is very tired because of the continuous fighting.

It is not an exaggeration to say that you can even sleep for three days and three nights in a row just by lying on the ground.

At this time, Klaus's personality has to be very effective in dispelling the restlessness and dull atmosphere......

“......”

And now not even a single person blurts out such a fact.

However, as everyone thinks, the treatment is really moving forward with a down-to-earth approach.

And this also made Loki a little more relieved.

"So I said a long time ago, your worries are groundless, and you think too much!"

Seriously, sometimes I really envy Klaus.

But his always positive and optimistic personality really can't be learned......

Staring at the hot blood at his feet, such thoughts instantly appeared in Loki's mind like a flash in the pan.

It made him suddenly feel that he seemed very terrible at this moment.

He never seemed to know that he had always left no room for things, and there would be times when he envied others.

Immediately after that, another self will be born in the heart, which is completely opposite.

And now "that he" is undoubtedly taking root unconsciously.

And instantly grew to the point that he couldn't help but feel scared......

And at the same time, Lemuel seemed to dream of something unusual—

Is that a good omen or a bad omen?

I don't know, anyway, there are too many uncertainties.

"Brother, brother! Brother! People are talking to you! Even if you're busy, you might as well take care of other people......"

"You're really about the same as our parrot—"

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

"It means...... You're noisy......"

"What!"

Vane, who was obviously unwilling, simply pressed most of his body on Lemuel's back!

"Spare me, won? Really ......"

- It seems that it has just happened, why do you dream about it now?

This is what happened to Vane when he was six years old......

Lemuel was on his way home after attending the summit when he met his sister, who had been playing outside all day before he could get back to his heart......

The brother and sister unknowingly bumped into each other at a fork in the street!

"Really, look at the road, you-"

"Huh? Brother? What are you doing here? ”

"I want to ask where you went when you came back so late!?"

Lemuel, who fell straight to the ground on his back, had a headache and just wanted to start preaching, "Isn't it curfew time?" Of course I know that! ”

It was interrupted.

"I'll listen to you when I get home, but now I'll turn around-"

"What are you doing?"

"Of course you carry me back? Or what do you think? ”

"You...... You-"

"Alright, alright, hurry up and ......"

Lemuel wanted to complain, but he turned away.

Who made him unable to resist this sister who couldn't wait to stick to him all day long?

“......”

looked at my sister's pouting mouth; Unconvinced with a straight face......

He couldn't help but poke the tip of this guy's somewhat red nose.

“......”

It's so cute, even if you are angry, you can't have a seizure -

"Hey, hey, I know that my brother loves me the most!"

"You know that your mouth is hard, what do you see you are dirty?"

"Hurry up and take a shower!"

But at times like this, she behaves like a cat.

"Hey, don't rub it over!" In the face of her brother's resistance, she became more and more bold-

"What's the matter, brother...... Anyway, I'll have to take a shower together when I get home! ”

"You just want me to rub your back, do you?"

"Isn't that possible?"

"Alas......"

It didn't take long for Lemuel to surrender completely.

"So, where did you go today?"

In the bathroom, which seemed to be swallowing clouds, he asked while wiping his sister's back.

"Today, I went to the manga café in the city center and ate a lot of snacks today."

"Hey, hey, hey, to be honest, my stomach is still bulging so far!"

“...... Will you be fat? ”

"Hmm!"

I'm not happy. Sure enough, even at this age, I still care-

"Did you pay for it?"

Seeing her little hands clenched into fists and talking about this with interest, she couldn't help but be a little worried.

"Of course, I won't eat overlord meals!"

Now this guy is really super excited, huh?

Delusion? Probably not, right?

- "Really? ”

"Really!"

"But the brothers and sisters at that manga café were respectful when they saw me? Brother...... Why is that? ”

"Why?"

And in the face of this question, he couldn't answer it for a while......

But in the blink of an eye, he was amused by his sister's innocent and incomprehensible appearance.

After laughing for a long time, he explained: "Maybe it's because you don't frequent it, right?" ”

"Is that so?"

"In other words, am I doing something wrong?"

"No, it's not that you did anything wrong, it's just that they didn't expect you to go, so it's inevitable that you're in a hurry, right?"

"Because you see, you went straight over without an appointment, didn't you?"

"That's right...... Then I'll make an appointment in advance next time! ”

- Anyway, for the time being, let's get by, right?

Anyway, the real reason, she will know sooner or later.

The corners of Lemuel's mouth rose slightly.

"Okay, okay, put this aside for now, turn it around. It's almost time to wash the other side—"

However, as soon as his words fell, his sister's tone suddenly became cowardly.

"No, no...... Vane will wash the front himself! ”

that tone; That kind of attitude inevitably makes people think about it......

It's just that it's too late to be shy now?

"Yes, yes, I see...... After all, you're at that age! ”

"What? Don't treat me like a child! ”

"You're a kid, aren't you? At least for now......? ”

Although she blushed so much when she heard her brother say this, she still added-

"That being said, it's not like I hate my brother or something, right?"

"Really, I didn't think about that at all!"

Lemuel seemed to have expected her to say that.

"It's okay, I don't think so, right? Let's go out first—"

Dry your body in the compartment; After changing his clothes, he did not walk to the bedroom, but walked to the office without hesitation as always.

"Lord Lemuel, are you going to stay up all night tonight?"

Hearing the words "all-night" coming out of the mouth of the maid, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed and reluctant.

But even if you don't want to, what's the solution? After all, I'm used to days like this.

"If that's the case, can I prepare some refreshing snacks for you? I'll make some coffee by the way—"

Lemuel seemed relieved at this moment, sincerely grateful for her thoughtfulness.

"I'm sorry for you. Thanks, Sylvia. ”

"It's my job, you don't need to thank you."

With that, the woman called Sylvia bowed as if she were both elegant and easy.

"Then I'll send it to your office later, please wait."

With that, she turned and walked towards the cloister without hesitation.

And this is undoubtedly the tip of the iceberg of what I know, my brother's daily life that seems to be repeated.

Even now, consciousness is gradually dissipating; Sleepiness is turbulent, but why do you think of such a thing?

Then again, what is my brother doing now?

- Because, it's brother and sister......

Will he be worried about me who hasn't heard from me for so long?

With this in mind, the fire of life that seemed to be broken did not seem to want to abandon her.

consciousness, there seem to be signs of a gradual resurgence......

"But it's better not to tell him about such a thing, right? That guy is too worried.

Sometimes I really can't stand it! ”

Then she seemed to faintly hear movement outside.

Is this also a dream?

If not, then who are you talking to at this moment?

"Who are you?"

But until then—

"Hmm...... It's not cool yet, right? ”

It seems like this.

As soon as she finished speaking, she tried to move her fingers.

But the consciousness that went all out of his way only exacerbated the pain that was already ravaging every corner of his body at best......

Only then did she realize that what was happening to her at this moment-

And at this very moment......

On the other side of the sky, Owen, Gahaerys, and Henry are also in a desperate battle against the beast's terrifying army!

That's right, they appeared again without warning......

It's really, the incomprehensible charm to the extreme!

"Gahaerys, watch your back!"

Owen, who was anxiously stamping his feet, saw that Gahaerys was being flanked, but he couldn't help......

This undoubtedly made him grit his teeth with hatred!

“...... Why, the picking time is too bad. ”

"Stop talking nonsense, pack them up, or else—"

"I know!"

"Damn! If only I could have found out earlier......! ”

In short, they must not be allowed to pass!

However, at this moment, the number of enemies is simply overwhelming......

Loki: They can only be forced step by step to the point where there is no way back.

However, being there does not mean that there is nothing to be done.

In a word...... Containment can still be done!

"Gahe! Front-"

Loki, who didn't have time to warn, could only use his body as a meat shield to help her block the attack!

"Thanks—are you alright?"

"Ah...... OK. ”

However, everyone can see that he is already barely holding on.

Moreover, the body's energy core is already warning all the time about how bad this situation is......

If it drags on any longer, it's really not good!

At this moment, if you just sit back and wait, you will undoubtedly lose your life easily!

So the three of them wanted to try to back off......

However, there are undoubtedly more enemies in the back!

“？！”

At this moment, some of the enemies suddenly took advantage of the situation and pounced!

Maybe they can't escape, right?

- In the blink of an eye, he bit the left arm of Gahaerys' body!

I even swallowed half of it!

It can't go on like this!

So she had to give all her ammunition to the enemy in front of her!

However, at the moment when the hands finally regained their freedom, the pinching blows on both sides were already close at hand!

"Tsk! I can't hide from it......"

Because even if you jump backwards now, there is a high chance that you will be torn to pieces directly by the enemy behind you without hesitation!

As for why they haven't attacked until now—

Maybe it's just waiting for the right moment!

"Oh no!?"

However, the moment she realized that she would be torn to pieces by a pinching blow that seemed to be close at hand—

In a hurry, Henry threw the shield he had held tightly in his hand in the direction of Gahaerys!

And both the strength and angle are just right, and in the blink of an eye, the two mace-like giant pincers are blocked!

"Whew! Thanks, Henry! ”

After that, she regrouped, and instantly swept away the enemy in front of her with the halberd gun in her hand!

At this point, I can finally catch my breath!

But that's all, after all, they have never feared; Nor did he know of his death.

Opposite...... The smell of blood everywhere will undoubtedly make them even more excited and excited!

So it's absolutely impossible for these guys to give up easily!

Even if you're dealing with a tactical machine with a body of steel......

They will also peel it off its skin and bones in a devastating way......

Then, as a matter of course, the driver was roughly pulled out of the cab and swallowed!

And now, it is Owen who is in such a desperate situation, he is surrounded by a group, and his body is overwhelmed and can only unilaterally fall into the predicament of being beaten!

"Energy bottoms out!? Why at this time? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, his body was completely incapacitated.

And because of the existence of the function of sensory sharing, the damage he is suffering now is simply immeasurable!

"Hold on a little longer, I'll be right over now!"

After that, Gahaerys looked at Owen, who was covered in cold sweat and had a painful expression, and immediately threw the sweeping task to Henry alone-

"I'll be right back, I'll leave it to you!"

“......”

But he flew towards the seemingly unreachable sky!

"I'll protect you! I have to be protected!! ”

With such an awakening in her moment, it was as if she had fallen from the sky in an instant, and she burned without hesitation; Squeezing the last of the body's energy!

"I will never let my companions be killed! Even if I take the name of the Knights Templar, I will protect and fight to the end! ”

As soon as the words fell, a rain of bullets rained down like a downpour!

It's like a divine punishment, evoking a raging fire that consumes everything!

After an almost indiscriminate strafing shot, he finally freed Owen from the siege, but it almost scared him out of his mind......

"I said you......"

"What's wrong?"

"Please, look at it when you shoot, there's still someone here! I'm alive?! ”

"I know. So didn't I avoid you? ”

"Liar?!"

Gahaerys carelessly withdrew the weapon.

"Now it's better to think about how to slip away, if we continue to stalemate, we will have to lose our lives here!"

As soon as the words fell, Henry also added-

"This guy is right, there are too many enemies! Find a way to retreat first. ”

"Are you coming along?"

Owen was angry and anxious-

"You two are easy to say, this matter is now surrounded by enemies, where is there any way out?"

Before he could finish speaking, Henry pointed to several abandoned facilities behind him.

"Anyway, get back there first, no problem, right?"

"Hmm."

Once they arrived, they did not hesitate to seal off all the entrances and exits.

"At least for now, it looks like they won't be able to get in for a while."

Immediately afterwards, the three of them used their remaining weapons to set up several rudimentary forts for self-defense.

Then, spread out the rest of the grain evenly -

However, it is good to fill your stomach, but the amount is quite small.

"It doesn't look like it will last long......"

There was no doubt that they intended to stay the course, but things didn't go the way they had imagined.

"Why have they besieged and not attacked for so long? Do you think we're not delicious enough? ”

Faced with Gahaerys' somewhat naïve idea, Henry denied it without even thinking about it-

"No, if I were them, I wouldn't use that stupid way of just storming-"

"Huh? Why? ”

At this moment, the two of them leaked innocent voices together.

"The reason is very simple, because there is no need!"

"You see, we're going to run out of food soon, and then they'll be able to get a good meal, won't they?"

"And if you do that, you won't be met with fierce resistance from us."

The backbone of the so-called turtle in the urn is what is going on in the end.

As soon as the words fell, he fired a shot as if he were understated!

"Don't you waste precious ammunition?!"

"What's wrong?"

"Didn't you just say that there was no point in resisting?"

That's right, yes, but ......

"There's no point in saving ammo these days—hey! Look at their movements...... What's that doing? ”

At this moment, the beasts all bypassed the abandoned facility where the three of them were hiding.

That is, give up?

"I see, their purpose should only be a camp not far away!"

"We're just incidental. If that's the case, you'll have to find a way to stop it as much as possible! ”

"Hey, what the hell!"

"We're just incidental!"

The moment they heard such a conclusion, both of them were a little unable to keep up with their thoughts.

- There is indeed an untold amount of food there!

In particular, the treatment must not be interrupted!!

In other words, you have to find a way to stop them!

"Even if it is difficult for a strong man, you have to do it!"

The more he spoke, the more anxious he became. However, Henry still had the same poker face as always, and he didn't see any unusual emotions......

It's better to say that this guy has always had such a somewhat annoying poker face.

"Why are you so calm?!"

"I can understand your feelings, but I've said it too...... We can't do it. ”

At this moment, Gahaerys really couldn't bear it anymore-

"Then give me all the remaining fuel in your body, and let me go! Henry, that's fine, right? ”

"It's theoretically possible, but I can understand your intentions, and I'm not going to deny it. But - if you do that, you will die. ”

How can you take care of these things now!

What interrupted him in the blink of an eye was a voice coming from the smart bracelet's contact unit.

"Idiot! That's something that only an idiot would do. So give it up! ”

It turned out to be Loki's voice!

"Don't be reckless if you can't do it! Just leave this to us! ”

"Come back quickly, to be honest, it's almost impossible to hold on here-"

"By the way, I don't have to worry about it-"

"Huh, huh?! It's Her Royal Highness, right? - This kind of thing; The answer to this kind of question is already obvious, right?

"Are you alright?"

"Ah...... So hurry back! ”

"Yes!"

This is really, the best news that could not have been greater!
