"... Tsurugi-san"

I murmured the name of the woman in the white hood standing in front of me.

At the same time, Lily and Felid, who were around, immediately stepped forward to protect me and Luna and Rock, pointing their swords at Tsurugi.

"It's you. Did you come for the woman here again?"

While confronting Tsurugi, Felid checked me and Luna behind him and asked.

"Yes, because that's all I want from you, Luna."

In contrast, Tsurugi returns a cold word that is no different from the time of the day.

I see.

After hearing the response from Tsurugi, Felid and Lily entered the fighting situation, and Tsurugi looked slowly at it.

Eventually, after a little silence, it was Felid who moved first.

It instantly fills the gap with Mr. Tsurugi to zero, as in the case of Nozoya, and at the same time emits a flash from his pocket.

In contrast, Tsurugi immediately disappeared from the scene due to space transition, but at that moment Felid stepped on his right foot and poured a heavy dagger into Tsurugi's disappeared space.

When Tsurugi leaked a slightly distressed voice, a dagger with a thin sword was engraved on his shoulder.

"I told you before. Whether you shift the space, move it away, or rip it apart, it will damage you. Even if you make a space transfer, if you cut through the space in the same way, you'll be able to do damage to the person you're moving to."

Still stunned by the unscrupulous theory and the cheesy Ferido who made it possible, but unlike before, Tsurugi did not try to pull it off, healing his shoulder wounds and taking a combat stance again.

Certainly, it has been felt since the previous battle, but Tsurugi's intentions towards Luna are real.

And the urge to do it is conveyed by her.

This is also proof of how it actually reappeared, but why?

We didn't know why Tsurugi tried to kill Luna.

I wanted to inquire about it, but perhaps the fierce battle in front of me did not allow such inquiry.

This time, Mr. Tsurugi attacked Mr. Felid from behind with the space transfer, but he avoided it with a single piece of paper and counterattacked Mr. Felid.

Its offensive defense was a step backwards.

No, every time I shake a dagger, the balance of victory and defeat definitely moves to Felid.

The ambush caused by Tsurugi's spatial shift has already seen the movement through, and instead, the attack will be carried out where Tsurugi appears against several attacks.

Felid is still reliable.

There is no one so comfortable as to be on my side.

I watched the two offensives with that in mind, but Lily next to me whispered with a mysterious look.

"... that's weird."

"What?" What?

I asked Lily about her unexpected murmur.

In contrast, Lily continued with the two defenses in front of her.

"That Tsurugi guy. Looks like he's challenging the fight knowing he can't beat Felid. If you really want to kill Luna, you'll have to plan something more. It looks like you're just buying time."

"Buying time for what?

"I don't know, but...."

Lily blurred her face at my question.

But there are many mysteries about Tsurugi's behavior.

Even if he shows up like this, as long as Felid is here, will it end the same way as before?

At the same time as we remember such a question, the eggs that had been fruitful on the killer plant were shaking again.

Then Mr. Tsurugi released his knife.

But it wasn't meant for Mr. Felid in front of me.

"What?!"

A knife thrown in an uneven direction.

That's exactly the egg that came out of the top of the killer plant earlier.

It was thrown at the branch that supported it.

When Tsurugi realized her aim, it was already too late, and the flash of her knife ripped the branch that had supported the egg, and the egg that had lost its support began to fall freely as if a fruitful apple fell on the branch of the tree.

"The eggs!!

"Hmm!?

Before me and Lily screamed, Fade ran all the way to the egg.

And before the eggs got to the ground, Felid caught it in the air and got it all right.

However, the slight gap was sufficient for Tsurugi to take the next action.

Got it.

Tsurugi immediately moved in front of me and Lily.

That's what this is about!

Tsurugi secretly observed Felid asking me to grow Bahamut, and by cutting off the eggs just before the birth of the Bahamut, she turned Felid's attention to you for a moment.

Kill Luna in a few moments.

Sure, it's a good or bad operation, but it's the only way to rip off Felid.

Felid realizes that, but he's already too far away from where we are, and it took him a few seconds to get here.

Lily attacked Tsurugi in front of her to earn a small amount of time.

No matter how hard we can't get through the attack, Lily can handle it!

Even though I was restless, I held her to protect Luna from Tsurugi's attack.

"Hey, hey! It's sudden, Kyo!

Luna panicked as if she was in a hurry for an unexpected hug.

Uh-huh. I know how it feels, but this is by no means lewd, and I'm trying to protect you from myself, but please hold on.

By the way, Locke, who was right next to her, hugged Luna in the same way, trying to protect her.

Or maybe he just imitated me and hugged...

On the other hand, Tsurugi focused on avoiding the attack with a three-dimensional refraction before the instant and unstoppable attack from Lily, who had become a veterinarian.

No matter how heroic you are in manipulating space, if you move so many strikes forward, you will be attacked in that moment.

Lily is doing everything she can to buy just a few seconds.

Felid, who laid his eggs on the ground in the gap, rushed towards us.

If this happens, we'll make it! It was the moment when we were relieved that we were saved.

"- Yeah, that's right. If it was just Tsurugi, you guys would have won."

Huh?

The voice was heard from behind.

Looking behind Luna, a man appeared as thin as a shadow.

It was a young man with thin eyes and a creepy smile reminiscent of a snake.

The person smiled at me and Luna and opened his mouth.

"First of all, my name is Aji Dahaka. One of the SS ranked monsters in this world. And this time, I am your hero, Tsurugi's ally."
