Episode Ten: Find Me

- I recall.

After we defeated Hilda, we returned to base.

The injured Lucifina is letting him sleep in his room after completely healing the wound with healing magic.

Lewsas and Dionis seem to be resting in their rooms, too.

I was back in my room, too, but I couldn't sleep.

Mind Magic [May No One Be Wounded (Vauz) In The World (-Atalaxia)].

A self-inflicted mindset magic held by Lucifina.

Even though it's a magic trick to protect someone, there's no Lucifina in that person.

I thought that was... not really.

I think the most desperate part of the brave party has been Lucifina.

Wounded, tormented, Lucifina nevertheless continued to go on scraping herself.

It's just a way of life opposite me.

That's why I thought Lucifina was beautiful.

"... you're not going to sleep"

I can't help but notice.

Leaving the room, I decided to go check on Lucifina.

Knock on Lucifina's room, but no reply.

Apparently, he was asleep.

"... into a boulder, can't we go in"

If there are any abnormalities in Lucifina, the healing magician is starting to come along.

I'm worried, but I'm not an expert. There's nothing I can do.

It was when I turned my back and tried to go back to my room.

"... Mr. Io"

Over the door, I heard Lucifina.

"Lucifina? Are you awake?

Looking back, voice over the door.

Lucifina, who called me, felt different somewhere than usual.

"It's really good to meet you, Io"

"... what's the sudden matter?

"When I say this, Io may get angry... but it's good that Io was summoned as a brave man. It was a long and hard journey... but thanks to Io's presence, I was very happy"

Zero trembling breath to that sound that stains your chest.

Lucifina's words were irresistibly delightful.

"I'm not angry.... Me too, because I think it's really good to see Lucifina"

"Oh...... glad"

I can hear you through the door, Lucifina's trembling voice.

"- I like it, Mr. Io. Love it. I love you so much."

My chest was overwhelmed with anxiety for some reason, at the same time as joy, at the sound of being floated by heat.

Anxiety swells to the repeated words of confession.

"I won't give up."

"... Lucifina?

"Absolutely… to the end, I will fight, let you see"

Unexpectedly, I was reaching for the door.

Somehow, I had a feeling Lucifina was going far away.

"Mr. Io."

Lucifina called my name again so she could bite.

"I love you. So..."

――――

- Find me.

Open the door and step inside the room.

What came into view was Lucifina sleeping on the bed.

Lucifina is asleep and falling asleep, as if the conversation had been a dream until then.

"... good night, Lucifina. See you tomorrow."

I put my words down to wipe my unspeakable anxiety, and I went back to my room.

The next day, Lucifina woke up.

There were no sequelae, it was Lucifina as usual.

As if there weren't any conversations yesterday.

- As usual, it was Lucifina.

◆

"Give me my revenge... what?

Hilde Garda suppresses her mouth and smiles in a big way.

Apparently, you don't understand the situation.

Three crosses move, as they surround Hilde Garda.

On the cross are three sub-men.

"If you get your hands on the eagle, these sub-people will die. Is that what you're coming for? Do you trample the thoughts of Lucifina, who proclaimed that you wanted to make everyone smile, who tried to save all races at the expense of you?

But that would be good too, Hilde Garda said.

"Kill the hostages and take revenge as you wish. The eagle hated you, and you did what you had no choice but to be tragically avenged. [M] The hostages are going to lose their lives... but instead, I think I'll spoil your revenge and accept it. - With this body (...)!!"

"How far are you!!"

"Oops, Elphiszark. Do you want revenge on the eagle, too? Sure, I guess I said Abel. One of your men, the eagle, is on his hands. Io, why don't you take revenge on this body instead?

Hilde Garda stirs up Elfi screaming with a nigga laugh as he exasperates his anger.

Gutsy and breathtaking, Elfi lost his word.

"You can't, can you? Even if you abandon these subhuman beings, there are still a few hostages left. I'm not in a position to get revenge!!"

That's how he screams, and Hilde Garda waves the 'Heavenly Sword'.

Flying slaughter blows my body backwards.

He crashed against the wall from his back and the impact scattered a spark in his sight.

"Iwo!

"Whoa, if you move, I'll kill the hostages."

"... ugh."

They shielded the hostages, and Elfi can't move.

Soaked there, Hilde Garda activated the magic.

"" Shade, swallow. ""

Black tentacles emerged from Hilde Garda's feet, tying Elfi's body.

"That's“ Yin ”knitted by the eagle. You wouldn't be able to move that easily, would you?

With that said, Hilde Garda moves the cross.

We hide behind the hostages and keep them out of Elphi's demon eye range.

After completely sealing Elfi's movements, Hilde Garda turned her gaze to me again.

"Come on, let's go on"

Hilde Garda waves the sword.

The slaughter will tear my body apart.

Duck and blood overflow from torn scars along with burning pain.

Hilde Garda would have killed me with one blow.

I won't do it because this guy is enjoying my misfortune.

"You don't mind resisting, do you? In this situation, it's natural to abandon the hostages. No one can blame you. [M] Even Elphiszark might say there's no choice."

…………

"Well, Lucifina would never abandon a hostage, would she?

With that said, Hilde Garda waves his sword.

Slash tore my right arm off.

I can't put any more effort into my hands, and I take my sword off the ground.

Every time Hilde Garda waved her sword, there were more scratches on my body.

…………

An unbearable pain is attacking my whole body.

But I had myself looking at it like some other HR.

Because those who have tasted so much pain that they cannot compare to this pain are right in front of them.

How can you make such weak noises?

"Nah...... ah"

I speak as I spit out the blood that builds up in my throat.

"Nah, ah. Lucifina."

"... yeah?

He stops his sword-wielding arm and Hilde Garda looks at me with an intriguing eye.

"Sorry."

Apologize to Lucifina.

"I couldn't believe you. The way you showed it in front of me... it was all acting, and you were seriously laughing at me... I thought so"

In that word, Hilde Garda gave a look of abuse.

"Heh, heh! Oh, you're right. Lucifina was a good girl. You must have been so wounded by your hatred."

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Lucifina is... nothing, even though it's not bad. I couldn't believe you."

At death, did you think it was a rumor?

Burri, and Hilde Garda blush their cheeks and shake their bodies.

He seemed excited about the final words of a dying toy.

"... sooner, I should have noticed"

"Exactly. How much Lucifina has been scratched for thirty years. That and this, it's all your fault. It's a punishment for making the eagle uncomfortable with selfish ideals. I hope you regret it."

Hilde Garda waves the sword.

"but buh..."

He eats a slash on his chest and stops breathing.

The slaughter had penetrated "Red Lotus Armor" and carved a deep wound into my body.

Blood runs through the dachshboard.

Look at me like that, Hilde Garda laughs as if she came up with something,

"Mr. Io. Why... why didn't you help me? It was hard. I was scared. It was sad. Yet instead of you helping me, you blamed me! You didn't believe me!

In the tone of Lucifina, I said so.

With tears in his eyes and sadness and anger in his tone, Hilde Garda curses at me.

Ignoring that, I kept my word.

"... you were crying. Watch me and Luisas fight."

Lucifina was crying when we met at the Abominable Labyrinth.

I was in tears.

Look at that, I was wrong.

"So many tears... I thought you were mocking me. But... you didn't."

Lucifina was sad and crying.

It was hard enough for me and Luisas to kill each other.

"... you're not. Look at you guys, it was just too funny to laugh. I don't know what I'm mistaken about, but Lucifina is gone. In the last thirty years, Lucifina's spirit has worn off and completely vanished. No matter how much you speak, your words will never reach Lucifina."

"- You're lying, it"

Double-cut Hilde Garda's words.

"What... is that a lie?

"Hilde Garda. You were in a hurry at the Abomination Labyrinth. He was unnaturally rushing to kill me."

――――

"Even in front of Gracia's fort. If you wanted to kill me for sure, you should have worked with Gracia. Why didn't you do it and try to kill me from scratch?

That's true today.

At first, Hilde Garda said.

I'm the only one who's gonna kill you.

That word, obviously, is strange.

Take it to the Demon King Army, Elfi the former Demon King is supposed to be a threat, why stick to me alone?

No, it's settled.

Because Lucifina is still alive and resisting Hilde Garda's rule.

So Hilde Garda hastily tried to kill me to break Lucifina's heart.

"... it's time to die"

End the conversation, Hilde Garda lays down her sword.

Magic flows through the pattern and is amplified with tremendous momentum.

"I'm sorry to be cheering you up on your own, but Lucifina's already dead. I want you to stop running away from reality."

"Don't lie to me, Hilde Garda"

I remember.

Thirty years ago, the night we defeated "Thousand Weirds," the words Lucifina uttered.

Lucifina, who was taken over by Hilde Garda, said that last word.

"... I said I wouldn't give up."

For someone, the one who kept fighting.

"To the end, I said I'd fight."

Without ever bending your knees, without ever saying a weak sound.

He didn't have to put it in his mouth, he kept fighting as a matter of course.

"I told you not to give up and fight till the end... ugh"

"That's what you say! You can say anything just words! Lucifina's already dead!

"Lucifina always fought. I don't care if I get scratched, for someone. Even in situations where it's overwhelmingly easier to give up trying to get punched in the pussy for being a half elf or ridiculed for being hypocritical, he's been fighting!!"

That's why I liked Lucifina.

"- I bet that lucifina can't beat scumbags like you!!"

I didn't realize.

I couldn't believe it.

I may not deserve to talk about thirty years in a flash.

Still.

Still, I can do what I wanted then.

"Sorry I'm late, Lucifina"

"... Shut up!! Heavenly Poke (Lincolnate) -"

Hilde Garda wields the 'Astronomical Sword'.

Sooner than that, I...

- Finally, they found you.

That's what I told Lucifina.

――――

He opened his eyes wide and Hilde Garda stopped moving.

The magic that was pouring from "The Sky Sword" dissolves and disappears.

Slowly lower the great sword you were putting up, your silver eyes staring at me.

And

"- Already... eh. It's too late, Mr. Io."

In tears, Lucifina (...) said so.

"Nah...... to...!? stupid, still conscious...... duh"

"Io woke me up when you were holding me back."

Lucifina's words smear the voice of Hilde Garda, who raises a startling voice.

"... ugh! Right... I hit the eagle, that time... ugh"

"... oh yeah"

Affirms Hilde Garda's words.

Knowing Lucifina was possessed, I talked to Idler.

How can I free Lucifina?

'As someone really possesses Lucifina... perhaps Lucifina's consciousness has already vanished'

'... no. Lucifina is still conscious. Absolutely.'

'... but you should have little consciousness. Because I think someone possessed is holding back consciousness. If you want to wake her up... you can apply your brainwashing magic. "

So when I punched Lucifina in the forehead, I blew magic into my brain.

It's the same way I used to force sleeping elphi to wake up.

He woke Lucifina, who had been suppressed, forcefully with his magic.

... Looks like Lucifina has been fighting Hilde Garda ever since.

"Ugh... guh. Don't be ridiculous, the half-elf flair is getting out of the weasel's reign, etc."

But Idler also said:

Simply awakening Lucifina's consciousness with brainwashing magic cannot be completely liberated.

The magic of possession must be removed by some means.

I can't do that.

In Magic Taunt, you cannot defeat Hilde Garda's possessive magic that is entering the inside of your body.

So,

"- Please, Elfi. I need your help."
