Kuro no Senki

Day seven south - Chrono woke up with a sore leg.

The pain like a sprain combined with a burn covers the right leg from the toe to the bottom of the knee.

Should we rejoice that it was done to this extent following an attack by an artifact?

Should I feel sorry that the only injured person was myself?

"Oh, you finally woke up"

"... Cleric"

Chrono looked up at the cleric sitting in a huddle on a pillow.

I've been drinking at my behest since morning - taking Elf's medicine.

It looks like there are no lieutenants and Scion.

"Don't take too many disinfectants."

……

"Why, are you silent?

"This booze turns drunk fast."

"Seriously, you're in the middle of something. You're going to die of a liver attack."

"If you're going to die, I'd like to die."

Chrono woke up his body and said he hated it, but the cleric doesn't care at all.

Apparently, alcohol's ability to decompose - it's unclear whether it depends on the flesh or as a demigod - is not the norm.

"Immortality, but I wish the wound had healed in a crowd"

"Isn't it living hell?"

"Suffer."

"Yes, I'm going to bump into a tougher word than Ignis. You don't die of elephant trampling, you don't get sick, but your heart is delicate."

He's like a big old brush box.

"What were you doing living long enough to not be able to understand? If you live for hundreds of years, you can open up one or two of your enlightenments."

"The world is not going to move on without me - I'm going to enlighten you."

"Perhaps it's a place where you can reach both the drawcage and the Neat."

I want you to open up a little more decent enlightenment because you've lived for hundreds of years.

"Wouldn't you use the word Neat? I still have this... old memories are rather vague, but I feel like I worked desperately long ago powdering myself."

"You're in a good position."

"There's a risk."

Oh, and the cleric imitated crying.

"So, can I not heal that wound?

"Mr. Theon and the clergyman are trump cards, right? I don't care if a cleric disappears when I have to."

"Is it something a little more unspoken?

"... be called to heaven"

"I'm not wrong, but I'm not wrong."

The cleric groaned bitterly.

"There was a lot going on in my conversation, so I thought I'd take a trip when this fight was over."

"Please pay your debts before you do."

"I have to be in the mood for preaching."

The cleric groaned seriously and started drinking with the little one.

That's when the deputy snooped into the front carriage.

"General, do you want me to wake you up? '(... bu)

"I just woke up."

Chrono stood up and glanced at him.

Pretty sore legs.

Even if you can walk, you may not be able to run.

"What's wrong?

"The captain of the knight arrived yesterday, so I came to report. I'll wait for you to tell me that Empress Tilia is not ready."

"Show me."

Krono got off the front carriage with the help of his deputy and headed under the Knight Captain - Harris.

The front carriage is lined up in a row, and the men are cleaning up the camp position.

"How are your men?

"There were no casualties other than Master Chrono, so it's easy."

"I'm relieved."

Rio was talking about leading a hundred horsemen.

But there were no hundred horsemen or anything like that last night.

"... Is that Rio's stand-up?

"Did you say anything? '(Bubba?

"No, this way."

Moving on silently for a while, I could see the tent.

Around them stood the old knights, the servants of Tilia, and the cavalry of Harris.

"Is Mr. Harris in the tent?

"Hey, I don't really want to be seen."

"I was in the woods yesterday."

'Didn't you reconsider that the streets are safer?' (Bubba Bubba?

Minot opened the tent and Chrono went inside.

Inside the tent were the figures of Harris and Tilia.

"It's late."

"I'm awake."

Excuses and stands behind Tilia.

"Now you're ready to discuss it. First of all, can you tell me why you're here, not Baron Zeginus?

My uncle is dead.

Harris said pale.

"Cause of death?

"There was an ambush lurking in the woods."

"I see, so you're acting as lord?

"No, I'm proxy for the Lords"

Hmm? and Tilia tilts her neck slightly.

"The original proxy for the lord is my uncle's son, but he's too sick to take charge of the lord."

"Can't you even give directions?

"Because of the tendency to be sick, there was a neglected part of the world."

Harris sighed small.

"So, what are we gonna do?

"I respect my uncle's will and would like to ask you to crusade Count Cairon"

"Are you all right?

"I've convinced you within last night."

"You're handy."

"It's an emergency."

Tilia told him to sneer, but Harris just had a weak grin.

"Can you write me a brush? He said the Imperial Army would guarantee safe passage through the territory instead of crusading Count Cairon."

"Yeah, I don't mind. However, the text will respect the will of Baron Zeginus, may I?

I don't mind.

Tilia said in a tone as if it were frightening, moving the two pieces of paper and feather pen and ink kettle that were on the table before Harris.

"Are you sure it doesn't have to be parchment?

"You'd be in trouble if we had the official documents left, wouldn't you?

"Thank you for your attention"

Harris thanked him and wrote up the text without showing a distressing bare gesture.

Of course, I won't forget to sign it.

"... Can I ask you just one favor?

Harris cut out quietly.

"What?

"It's no big deal. My uncle wanted me to succeed the governor when his children died."

"Why?

"Of course, to avoid confusion"

"If the Imperial Army doesn't win, it means nothing?

"Yeah, I know."

Harris nodded small.

I thought he might be the one who killed Baron Zeginus, but he doesn't speak.

The Imperial Army doesn't have time for the Baron Zeginus family disturbance.

"It has nothing to do with the governor's inheritance..."

"What is it?

"What about the treatment of Count Cairon and his men?

"... right"

Harris stroked his jaw as he thought.

I'd like to leave it to you.

"Are you sure?

"If we punish you, you will have betrayed the Empire."

I have betrayed the Imperial Army sufficiently at the time of its admission to pass through the territory, but do you mean thick skin on the surface?

"Isn't that convenient?

"Will Empress Tilia be concerned about convenience?

"No, I'm going to have a scale that suits your convenience."

"Then it won't be a problem. Yeah, I'll also write that I'll leave the treatment of the Ninth Kingsguard to the Imperial Army."

Harris added the sentence and offered it to Tilia.

"When the Lords proxy dies, all you have to do is admit you'll be the Lords, okay?

"Regards"

Tilia wrote a sentence on two sheets of paper, placing one on her own and the other before Harris.

"This will be solitary..."

……

Tilia is silent.

"It's pretty far away to say... but there's a side road. If you proceed straight, it is Viscount Nekal territory, but if you proceed east, there is a village destroyed by the Ninth Kingsguard Knights. Please help me with something."

Harris rose and went out of the tent.

Horseshoe sounds after a while.

"... that, you're definitely killing me"

"I don't know if he killed himself or used Count Cairon."

Tilia put her arms together and leaned against her back.

"Rio is..."

"Don't come raiding me"

Tilia told me to exhale.

"Can't you persuade me?

"I don't know if I'll give it a try, but you will, won't you?

"I think he's terrible while I'm at it."

I want Rio alive while I kill Isabella and Ark.

He's a hell of an egoist.

But that's how it really feels.

"Ready?

"To be honest, I want you to stop, but it's worth a try. If you can bring Count Cairon to your side, it will boost your combat power considerably, and even if you are hostile, you can show that you will be generous."

But Tilia goes on.

"You could die, right?

"I'm ready."

"... right"

Tilia sighed small.

"... lay a camp position on the divide and lure out the Counts of Cairon. We'll stop Count Cairon's cavalry, and then you'll be done convincing him."

"I feel like I can do it when it's explained."

"Well, it's easy to say with your mouth."

"Right."

Chrono nodded.

This operation has too large a fratricidal element.

In the first place, we don't know where Rio and the others are coming from.

Plus it would be hard to break it off if Rio and the others had decided which would kill Chrono or Tilia.

"Still, we have to do it"

Chrono clenched his fist.

Evening - The Imperial Army reached the side roads, where they worked to prepare the camp.

Sometimes seven days have passed since the march began, and my men are handy.

"The grandfathers there! If you're free, help me prepare my meal!

"We are not offering Princess Tilia! I have important work to do!

"Right, right, right! If I work any more, I'll be called to heaven!

The three women general, Manchausen and Alonso were yelling at each other, but preparations for the camp are well under way.

Could he persuade Rio, Chrono leaned against the front carriage?

When I felt the signs and looked up, Tilia approached me.

Stand next to Chrono and lean against the front carriage.

"Are you nervous?

"What about Tilia?

"Somewhat."

I don't look nervous while I say.

Should I praise the boulder, the empress?

"You remember what the operation was all about?

"When Rio and the others show up, I'll run off to the sidewalk."

Chrono turned his gaze to the side road.

The road width is so full of holes that the carriage can finally get through.

"There's no ambush, is there?

"We're gonna have to trust the advance team there."

"I believe you."

Chrono glanced lightly at his shoulder.

At the end of the sidewalk is a small settlement of less than fifty houses.

The three sides of the settlement are surrounded by slopes.

It's hard to tell because the plants are growing, but the slopes seem to be stair-like.

"Master Chrono, I've brought a horse"

"... Guru"

Tilia groaned small as Layla pulled her horse and came under Chrono.

"... you're a big horse"

"Because it's a carriage horse."

As Chrono reached out, the horse shook his head to dislike.

"What about the soldiers in the carriage?

"I let the other carriages ride."

"You're working fast and you're helpful."

No, of course not.

Leila leaned down in the light.

"... Um, Master Chrono?

"What?

"The horse is ready, are you okay? Well, Master Chrono needs to be able to ride a horse..."

Tilia erupted as Leila cut out her nasty.

"It's not like I can't ride just because I'm not good at it."

"I don't remember seeing you on a horse?

"I was riding it right in military school."

"It was, wasn't it?

Tilia frowned and held her temples down.

I only attended regular classes once, so even if I don't remember, I can't force myself.

Instead, I'm scared if I remember.

Leila's ears moved piquely.

"... Master Chrono?

"I know."

The next moment away from the front carriage, Chrono had a green light blinking in the corner of his sight.

That's an artifact attack.

A running stream of light pushes in.

The attack came from the front - Rio and the others would have been ambushing at the end of the street, not on the side roads.

Well, Chrono doesn't have the means to prevent this attack.

"Faye!"

"I know!

Fay flies out in front of the Chronos - further ahead of the front carriage in the lead.

"Artifact Summoning! It's a sword draw!

Stand on your hips and perform a sword release motion.

The darkness that erupts from hand turns into an artifact - a sword that is demonic and beautiful.

The running of light is imminent.

"It's guts!

Faye pierces the artifact to the ground.

The next moment, the light swallowed the fay - it looked like it was.

The artifact pushes back the light, slashing and tearing it in two.

The light torn in two is like a serpent, of which it destroys what lies ahead.

The shrub blows up, the ground chooses, and the pan flips.

It's like the same sight as last time, but the light is uninterrupted this time.

The light pushes as if there are no boundaries.

A deafening noise called Gishy sounded.

A crack ran into Faye's artifact.

Further disappear or appear repeatedly.

The faithful God is the same artifact summons even if he is different.

No, I guess that's why the power of the user appears.

"It's gut gut gut de gut. Huh!

The artifact emits a strong light as if to echo Faye's cry.

The running of light accidentally interrupted.

Poked one knee like Faye had exhausted, and the artifact smashed to pieces.

The fragment disappeared trying to dissolve in the air faster than it touched the ground.

I could have outdone the attack, but I can't be relieved.

The sound of a horseshoe sounds and the cavalry is approaching us.

We were approaching Rio's attack.

Running the lead was Rio's deputy - an old knight.

"... Chrono"

"I know, I know."

Tilia flips herself and runs out in the opposite direction to the cavalry.

"It's the Empress Tilia!

"Go after him, go after him!

"If we capture him, the mission is over!

"Ignore the Marquis Elakis! I'm the prey of Master Rio!

The enemy cavalry passed in front of Chrono and followed Tilia.

"Enemy!

"Protect Empress Tilia. Ahhh!

"Now is the time to show loyalty!

"Let them know we're here!

The old knights, starting with Manchausen, scream and face the cavalry.

Tilia runs through and the old knights put up their spears.

"Kick it! Assault. No, no, no, no!

"Don't be cowardly! We are with Empress Tilia. No, no, no!

The enemy cavalry enters together and the old knight is easily blown away.

The old knight is blown away, slammed to the ground, and devoured by enemy cavalry.

The old knight's life-threatening action completely stops the enemy cavalry from moving.

If it's a plain, it's still a street.

If you step off the street, the wasteland will expand and you can't help but run the horse.

"That! Pull it down!

An old knight is grabbed by an enemy cavalry.

"Once, pull!

"Enclose, encircle, encircle!

It was quicker for the old knight to turn down the exit path than for the enemy cavalry to run around the horse's head.

The old knight surrounds the enemy cavalry and sticks out spears and swords.

Of course, no enemy cavalry has lost.

Pull out the sword and wave it down.

Short screams, but the old knight is not frightened.

For the Empress of Tilia, he is challenged with screams.

"Grandpa, get out of here! '(Bubba!

"Duh, I want you to retire! '(Whew!

Deputy and Tyga scream.

I'm trying to cover for you, but that's also irresistible because of the state of turmoil.

"Master Chrono!

"I know!

Chrono jumped on the horse and kicked his flank.

The horse stood on a pole and ran out.

"Turn!"

Pull the reins and manage to steer the horse to the sidewalk.

Shortly after he exhaled in a ho, a blast pushed him from behind.

When I looked behind me over my shoulder, Rio on the horse was chasing me.

What I have in my hand is a normal bow.

"Oh, I was wondering if I could ride a horse."

A cool voice reaches my ear.

Perhaps we use divine authority to make sure our voices reach us.

We can discuss this.

"I can't ride. I haven't said a word."

"I thought you said you weren't good at it?

When Chrono mumbled back, Rio told him to tear it up.

You're right, I didn't say I couldn't ride just because I said I wasn't good at it.

Well, all I can do is ride the back of a horse and make it run.

An intermittent blast pushes over.

"Rio, please, stop."

"Oh, begging for your life?

"I don't want to fight you. There's no reason for us to fight."

"Chrono didn't choose me."

"That's because Lord Leonhardt was trying to kill Rio!

That's why I couldn't tell you to come.

If you've hung the wrong button, here it is.

Explain it properly and you will understand.

But...

"I don't care. That's not true."

"What?

"... Chrono chose the Empress Tilia."

Rio said in a chilling voice.

"Chrono chose the Empress Tilia."

"No."

Krono denied aggressively.

Indeed, Chrono chose to fight the Tilias.

But that's because my men got up.

Because I chose the path to fight the Empire for myself.

"No, it's not. That's when Chrono didn't pick me."

"I didn't choose Rio..."

So I finally realize.

He said in Rio that Chrono's decision was synonymous with not choosing her.

"... that I should have abandoned my men?

"Yes, I am."

Rio said softly.

"No, that's crazy."

Describes it well.

It's supposed to be, but you don't understand.

It's too self-righteous.

"Weird? Weird? Haha, Chrono! I've been like this a long time, haven't I? Since when did you think I was decent?

"- Huh!"

Chrono breathed.

If you think about it, Rio is killing the person who refused to confess.

I hung the wrong button from the start.

It wasn't weird when Rio confessed to me.

I was lucky enough to just keep the equilibrium, but I was mistaken for that to be normal.

"Rio! Things to start over -"

A blast blocks Chrono's words.

Accidentally stop the attack and check your back over your shoulders.

Horses were the only ones there.

There is no sign of Rio.

"... what can I do"

Chrono bit his lips.

What should go broke just went broke.

My hunch just turned into reality.

"- Huh!"

Suddenly, the horse turned forward and Chrono was thrown out into the air.

Engraving has been activated in a staggered manner, but it cannot be imitated as if it were to land in a single spin in the air.

Exquisite, to the extent that it alleviates damage.

Chrono was slapped to the ground and then got up.

Slightly late the horse falls.

No, it's not that easy.

Looks like a race car crash.

Chrono walks over to the fallen horse.

The horse was blowing blood bubbles and was dead.

"... kamikaze?

I shake my head.

I remember hearing that horses die when they walk at full capacity.

Normal creatures loosen their power before limits come, but horses don't loosen their power when limits come.

I'm sorry, and I look around apologizing in my heart.

That was the entrance to the village.

The roof of the building is burned down and the dirt walls are crumbling.

"... do something about Rio"

A light impact runs to the right thigh.

Looking at his thick crotch, an arrow was piercing him.

"- Huh!"

A fever occurred, which caused severe pain and hit the brain directly.

"Ha ha, Chrono is patient"

Rio slowly descends to the ground.

"I tried to kill you on the way. I've spent a lot of time here trying to kill him."

Rio approached with a laugh at Couscous.

I think if we don't do something about it,

We must somehow deprive Rio of his fighting power and persuade him.

But I can't think of a way to do it.

All my thoughts go empty.

"Come on, let's go, shall we?

Rio pointing his index finger up.

The green light swirls around the index finger and emits towards Chrono.

A sharp pain runs on my cheek.

It was torn by the blade of the wind.

"I'm gonna keep going."

Rio laughs and the wind blade is released.

Chrono strengthens the 'field' and plays the wind blade.

The essence of engraving is the alteration of reality by will.

It is also possible to move a broken body if there is a strong will.

But that's not all the will was in Chrono right now.

I was wrong from the start.

Each other's feelings were rubbing off.

I loved the fantasy that was in me.

How can you be poked at such a reality and keep a strong will?

"Do it. How about this?

Rio jumps into Chrono's pocket and touches his chest with his index finger.

Chrono bursts of light at the same time as he jumps away.

Impact pierces.

"-Geha!"

Chrono was slapped from his back to the ground and coughed hard.

Tears seep through my vision.

Avoid it, roll, or you'll die.

Survival instincts roll as commanded, and light bursts up close.

Once again, the impact pierces the entire body, and the blown pebble slashes and rips the skin.

Wipe your tears with the back of your hand...

"I knew Chrono was good."

Rio had a lukewarm look on his face and looked down at this one.

For some reason, I have one leg up.

For some reason - I don't even have to think about why.

"Ya, stop -"

"Let me hear more!

"- Huh!"

I shook my leg down by an arrow that Rio stabbed into my thigh.

Heavy pain hit his brain directly, and Chrono screamed.

"Haha! Good voice, good voice!

Rio threw down his bow and horseback riding on Chrono.

Lick your fingers and touch the fat crotch arrow.

That's all the unbearable severe pain crawling up.

"More!

"Ahhhhhh!

Rio twists an arrow and a cloudy scream.

"Ha ha! That's great! That's great! I should have done this from the beginning! This is how I should have done it! Chrono belongs to me! This Chrono belongs to me! More..."

Rio was raising his mad voice, but he silenced it as if the switch had been switched.

Suddenly, I flash my arms.

A gust winds and arrows pierce the ground.

Someone unleashed an arrow.

"Count Cairon! Please stay away from Master Chrono!

Layla's voice echoes.

"... Leila"

Rio shrugged small and stood up looking like a hundred million bucks.

The green light overflowed from his left hand and the bow was gripped the next moment.

Artifact summons.

But the light emitted by the artifact is too weak compared to what we've seen before.

"Right there!

Rio emits an arrow of light toward the slope.

The light bursts and a corner of the slope blows away.

But there's no Layla there.

Leila's voice sounds again after a while.

"Count Cairon, please surrender!

"Ha ha, I often say to you that all of a sudden you shoot an arrow at me"

"If you surrender, you can start over!

"What happens when you start over? Are you telling me to be scared of the fear of not being picked again?

"No! Master Krono, Master Krono loves you equally!

"Equality? Equality?

Hahaha, and Rio laughed.

"Such a thing is a hoax. You're one of my mistresses. Of course, I can't be the Second Lady. How can you say you're equal when you're sequenced?

The sound of gasp sounds and an arrow flies in.

Rio flashes his arms and the wind blows.

Earlier I was easily re-orbited, but not this time.

The arrow plundered Rio's arm and stabbed him in the back.

"... engraving technique"

Rio groaned bossoftly, and Chrono turned his gaze to the arrow.

The arrows were wrapped in red light.

"Leila, you love Chrono, don't you? If you do this, you're gonna get Chrono involved, right?

No reply.

When Rio sighed small, he left Chrono.

"Don't get me wrong. I left Chrono because I wanted to kill myself."

"Flaming dance!

"Oops!

Rio jumps back and a giant firepillar rises.

Despite the considerable distance, my skin tingled and sore.

Fire columns go out and arrows fly in.

You expected it, Rio twists his body, arrows, and turns to fight back.

An arrow of light pierces the slope and sets aside as much time as a blink to burst.

Again, there's no Layla there.

"You're a good runner."

Rio tells me like I'm sick of...

"I'm gonna blow your roots off!

They released arrows of light one after the other on the slope.

The light bursts, the wind blows, and the slopes blow.

It's a fierce enough attack to change the terrain.

"Hehe, dead -"

An arrow is released from somewhere.

The shield of light prevents the arrows.

No, should I say I stopped it?

Even if the arrows are taken by the shield of light, they are about to push forward.

But that won't last long either.

The arrow succumbs to Rio's power and is bounced backwards.

"Ha, you're motivated! Leila, I'm gonna love you too!

Rio once again released an arrow of light on the slope.

The light bursts and the terrain changes.

Shortly afterwards, an arrow flies in.

From a different direction than earlier.

Leila was moving through the shelled attack.

"Don't you use magic anymore?

Rio calls, but Leila doesn't answer.

"Are you kidding? No way, you're not even silent in bed!

That's what I say, release the arrow of light.

The battle against the poles begins.

Despite the same archers, the type of attack varies.

Artillery and sniping - Exactly, it's a battle of motion and quiet.

Time passes and the trend gradually becomes apparent.

It was Rio who had the advantage.

The slopes and the plants that were thriving there were blown away by Rio's attack.

It showed that there was no longer a place to hide.

Plus Leila has more real problems.

Chrono stared at the ground and burnt dirt walls.

There are countless arrows poking around there.

Whereas Rio releases arrows almost indefinitely, Leila can only release them for what's in the arrow barrel.

"Hehe, that's my win, isn't it?

Rio speaks to the remaining plants on the slope.

"That's right. I have a special honor for you. I'll crush your hands and feet and show you where I make Chrono my own."

Rio muttered inadvertently.

The expression alone seemed like a maiden in love, but its contents are different.

Extra if you are in a position to be killed.

"Well, if you're willing to surrender,"

Rio set up the artifact and slowly pulled the string.

An arrow of light appears and a small sound sounds.

That's the sound of the artifact cracking.

Rio's power is reaching its limits.

"Even so, you're not going to surrender."

That's when the sound rang from behind.

"When!"

Rio looked back reflexively, but there is no Layla there.

One arrow is only slightly glowing.

Now the sound sounds from the slopes.

It was Leila.

It has a mechanical bow.

More faceless than usual.

That is an indication of readiness.

"Just Chrono!

Faster than Rio turned to Chrono, Leila released an arrow.

An arrow pierced his chest, and Rio curled.

The artifact crushes, becomes light and disappears.

"... ah"

Rio stared stunnedly at the arrow that pierced his chest and was stunned on the spot.

"Ri, Rio!

Chrono stood up and ran over to Rio.

It was the power of the 'place'.

The power of a strong will moved my legs.

"... Rio"

Chrono knelt down and held Rio up.

You're fainting, Rio's eyes are closed.

"... Rio?

Calling again, his eyelashes trembled and Rio opened his thin eyes.

"Heh heh, Leila fucked me."

"Because you don't have to talk! Stop the bleeding, stop the bleeding!

"I can't do this anymore."

Rio slowly raised his hand.

The hand was clear.

Side effects of kamikaze - Rio is being eaten by God for existence.

"... so, so"

"Because it's good enough! I'm sure, because a cleric would help!

"... so die with me"

Divine Summoning, Rio muttered small.

The next moment, the green light smeared my vision.

How long have you been unconscious?

When he woke up, Rio was being held by Chrono.

"Good. You woke up, didn't you?

"... What is this place?

Rounding his gaze, it was a space filled with green light.

Divine Summoning is the art of invoking God himself.

I guess that means this place will be in God.

Rio stared at Chrono.

I can't help it at all, but still I think I can do enough to scratch my neck off.

But...

"No more."

Rio shrugged small.

I felt strange and calm.

Is it because Chrono is holding me?

Is it because I was shot through the chest?

Is it because God is eating you?

Either way, I didn't feel bad.

A prank springs up.

"... Krono, did you love me?

"I love you, baby."

I didn't love you, I love you.

A laugh comes in.

Rio laughed.

Laughs as he spits blood.

I wonder why.

How could this have happened?

That, I'm sure...

I just wanted it,

It's all about me,

I couldn't bear it.

Lonely,

The house, the status, I'm scared, I can't abandon you.

They left me,

All I could see was myself.

"... please don't leave me anymore. 'Cause I'm gonna follow you right next time."

There was strength in Chrono's arm, and Rio smiled.

When the pillars of light went out, there was nothing there.

The burnt house, the plants, the slopes, everything that was inside the columns of light had disappeared.

No...

"Master Chrono!

Layla stroked her chest down and ran down the slope.

And I stopped my leg.

Chrono was on his knees.

In that arm there was a white uniform - only that jacket remained.

Are you crying, Chrono was shaking his shoulder.

"... ah"

Raise your voice low.

Because I realized that I had taken Rio from Chrono, as I do now.

Even though he became an enemy, Rio was Chrono's lover.

How sad you will be.

How much I will suffer.

I wanted to rush over.

I thought if I didn't, the gentle Chrono would be crushed by grief.

But Chrono stood up.

Bite your lips and weep.

"... oh"

Leila gasped small.

Realize that Chrono is not weak enough to be crushed by grief.

There will be times when you will be beaten to grief and suffering.

Sometimes my legs may stop.

Still, he gets up.

Chrono walks out slowly, but forcefully.

The arrow that was piercing my thigh is gone.

No, you would have walked out forcefully, even if the arrow remained stuck in your thigh.

Leila bit her lips and followed Chrono.
