Chapter Zero: Concern

"Xiao Xiaosu, I heard that there was a mission organization that lost a lot of fighters recently. It seems that they are all high-ranking warriors. Wearing a white training uniform, Galadia poked Izu, who was lying on the stone bed in a daze.

The two of them don't look big, and the childishness on their faces hasn't completely faded, but they can already vaguely see the good faces of the two. Galadia is also far taller than her peers, with long straight blonde hair up to her waist, and grace in her gestures.

"What's the matter with us?" Izu, habitually scratching her hair, her pursed mouth exhaling and blowing away her bangs. It's so boring to be locked up in this stone chamber every day.

"You're so stupid!" Garadia instantly moved out of the stone door to Isu's bedside, and gave the latter a slap.

"If there are a large number of casualties among the soldiers on active duty, it is impossible for the organization to wait for the number of soldiers to be insufficient to manage the forty-seven areas. That is to say~" Galadia's hand was raised.

"We're going to be a substitute?" Isu wasn't stupid, and Galadya's words were all said to that extent, so she could naturally understand what she meant.

"Yes. Then we are the most likely to be replaced. "Laughs. Long-awaited laugh.

The two of them were successfully selected as reserve warriors half a year ago, but in half a year, they received less than five missions in total, and they had to complete the task of killing the weakest demon together. For the two people who are already extremely powerful, this kind of task is not the slightest challenging, and it can be said to be extremely boring. The rest of the time is confined to this stone chamber, with free time once a week. The two of them were tired of this boring and boring life.

In other words, the two want to be awarded the Sword Seal as official warriors and walk between continents.

And this is the best opportunity. Although the two of them should be able to successfully obtain the sword mark in another half a year, they can't survive any longer.

"You just said the superior warrior?" Isu stopped lying down, and sat up next to Galadia.

"Are you worried about the two of them?" the two had lived together for three and a half years, and they had known each other very well. As soon as Izu asked Galadia, she knew what she really wanted to ask.

"Those two people are so strong. Don't worry. Galadia stroked her long hair, but she didn't know the bottom of her heart. After all, I don't know what kind of mission it is, and if it's a mission like hunting the abyss, it's not good. No matter how strong the warrior is, I'm afraid there is no chance of winning in the face of the former No.1 who is 100% liberated by demonic power.

"We'll find out then. I heard that this time the fighters were very damaged, and it is estimated that in less than a week, we will be able to become official fighters. After summarizing this sentence, Galadia suddenly launched an attack on Izu.

"Last time you won, this time it's my home game. The two of them began to fight in this small stone room.

This is a bet that the two made when they first started living together. With the capture of the opponent as the victory condition, whoever arrives first 600 times wins the bet. From the beginning of the two people to grab each other as soon as they meet, it gradually changes to the beginning of the capture by the last captured party to attack the previous winner at any time.

Although they couldn't stretch their hands and feet in the narrow stone room, the two still fought inseparably. In the end, Galadia had a slight advantage and pressed Izu's hands behind her back on the stone bed. She was the winner this time.

"599th. As if it were an announcement, Galadia didn't let go of Izu.

"I thought you wouldn't dare to make a casual move, Yaya. Yso, who was crushed underneath, chuckled.

"After all, my last time was the 599th time, aren't you afraid that you will be caught if you make a mistake this time?" As if understanding Galadia's incomprehension, Isu explained to herself, "In that case, I will be the winner of the bet." ”

"It's pedantic. Galadia's reply left Isu stunned.

In fact, the two of them are no longer the two who made the bet contract at the beginning, they fought for the first time to fight for life and death, but now they don't care so much about it. It's justβ€”

"Since it's a gambling contract, there will always be a day when it will be completed. "The tone of the matter as it should be.

"If you didn't complete the bet because you were afraid that you would be the loser, what did you do with this bet in the first place?" said Galadia let go of the hand that was holding Izu, and naturally lay down on the narrow stone bed. Fortunately, both of them were very slim, so they were squeezed down.

"That's true, that's right. Butβ€”" Isu looked at the girl in front of her.

"You go back to my bed!!It's crowded......"

As Galadia had expected, the two were summoned two days later. He was taken to a seemingly lifeless room that he had never entered.

"Here you will face the final test of becoming a warrior, and the results of the test will determine your ranking among the active warriors. In addition, if you die in the test, it only means that you are not qualified to be a warrior. If you successfully pass the test, you will be awarded a sword seal, as well as a standard warrior outfit and a corresponding broadsword. ”

"There are ten more entrances after entering, you can choose one of each. Reaching the finish line alive is victory. With that, the messenger departed, leaving the two men standing in front of a door that opened a passage through which only one person could pass.

"Behave well, maybe you can become a high-ranking warrior directly. Galadia stretched out her right fist.

Izuy touched her opponent with her right fist.

"Come on. ”

After years of getting along, Galadia suddenly felt that Isu had something on her mind. Just patted the other person on the shoulder.

"See you at the end, then. Then Galadya turned and entered the dark room. Of course, this does not affect her with night vision. Compared to the so-called final test, she was more worried about Isu, who was still outside.

"Go up, Izu. Isu muttered softly, and stepped into the endless blackness that engulfed her.

"Wait for me, Memy!"

A day later, Izuki arrived at the exit in a state of paint. met Galadia's concerned gaze. Galadia was basically the same as before she entered, and her white training clothes were still clean and undamaged.

"You two come with me. A black-robed man who appeared out of nowhere led the two out of the room. I came to the door of a blood-colored room.

"Go in, it's about awarding you sword seals and rankings. ”

Galadia could clearly feel another moment of stiffness in Izu's body. But now is not the time to ask.

The first thing that catches your eye when you open the door is two standard warrior outfits resting on the ground, as well as two large swords engraved with sword marks next to the costumes.

"Galadia, from today onwards you will be the No. 3 of the organization. ”

"Izu, you're ......" The announcer glanced at Azu, a little puzzled, "No. 16." ”

"Let's go to our respective jurisdictions from tomorrow. I'll take these two outfits home with me. "It's totally a send-off tone. But the two didn't care. Finally, I don't have to stay in the stone chamber anymore.

"Why do you want to hide your strength?!" asked Galadia as she pressed Isu against the wall.

"You won't understand. "Isu has never been so strange to Galadia at this moment.

"You wouldn't understand without concern!" Izuy bit her lip. The 16th arrondissement, the place of dreams.

"Shhh

"I won the bet. When the time comes, you have to say it if you don't say it!"
