Tsuihou Sareta Bannou Mahou Kenshi wa, Koujou Denka no Shishou Tonaru

Holy Knight Cleon, with Carreria the Twin Swordsmen at the forefront, we went our way.

Walk away careful where you collapse.

Both my neighbors are Lisa, the white monk girl, and Flora, Arte's sister.

Speaking of strange situations, it's a strange one.

"What do you think? Are the wise men safe?

"I'm in trouble if you're not safe..."

To Lisa's twinkle, Flora answers in a small voice.

These two look, have abilities, and are in a very different position.

Even her personality was the exact opposite, whereas Lisa was bright, meeher and naive to the feeble Flora.

Yet for some reason these two were struck for a moment by a very similar feeling.

Why not?

Strange, but I can't help thinking about it.

When both Lisa and Flora are in trouble, they are important adventurers who may be on Philia's side.

Once again, the Demons barely showed up.

On the other hand, a large group of demons have appeared abruptly and attacked the Artes.

Creepy.

"How can there be so few demons? Isn't that strange, after all?

"I... I can think of a reason why..."

Both Lisa and Flora stare at me.

You want to tell me why?

After a little thought, I opened my mouth.

"For example, I think it's possible that some very powerful demons are moving multiple layers to prey on other demons."

"Predatory?"

Lisa tilted her neck, so I made a few more additions.

"Some of the higher demons eat the lower demons and absorb their magic."

"Oh, I've heard that. But is that why you suddenly have fewer demons...?

"If so large and ferocious a demon tribe were to move freely, maybe it could be. In fact, because there were demons like that in the ruins of the East. You remember Flora, don't you?

Flora, who was told the story, freaked out and blushed.

"... Yes. Uh, I was in the ruins of the Great Garden of the East, it's the Great Goblin, isn't it? Senior Solon stabbed me in the stops then..."

"Well, I was still quite a part of it back then."

"Senior Solon is still..."

Flora tried to say something, and in the end, she seemed to stop.

Lisa, on the other hand, is looking at us with envy.

"Nice. You two have memorabilia for the Knights of St. Sophia."

"It wasn't all that good, though"

"But I made the empire's strongest knighthood, and it worked great there, and I envy it. I wanted to join the Knights of St. Sophia, too!

"Didn't even the Golden Stamp Knights have a bad place?

The Knights of the Golden Seal are a prestigious knighthood with a long tradition in the Empire, albeit a fall.

Because you belong there, it should be honorable enough.

But Lisa turned a blind eye and laughed at him and said nothing.

Maybe there was something I didn't want to say.

I didn't go into Lisa's story any further.

At that time, from across the corner of the road, people were heard.

Looks like they were arguing, and they were both girls' voices.

One of them was lofty and absurd and the other had a calm voice.

We looked at each other and approached the voice.

There were quite a few adventurers there.

"So you're saying we can't turn back!

"But you and your sister got away, didn't you? Don't you have to look?

"If you wait here, Flora will definitely rendezvous! It's more dangerous to go looking for them without darkness."

Sage Arte was the one who said that and said it in a grumpy way.

A silver-haired little girl confronts that arte from the front.

It was Filia.

"But we need to find Solon..." Philia snaps, and Alte says, "How many times do you repeat the same story? You just have to leave it to the search party," he said in an intimidating tone.

Apparently, there was a conflict between Arte and the Philias.

Behind the philia are Nasha and Notaras, who have unfavourable eyes on Arte.

It seemed like Philia was about to say something again, but she seemed to realize we had come before that.

And I have eyes.

"Solon!

Philia opened her eyes wide and mouthed my name with a bounced voice.

And when he approached me to jump right, with those small, thin arms, he hugged me.

I was surprised and tried to back off, but I couldn't move because Philia was holding me.

Filia rubs her cheeks against my chest.

"Solon...... warm. Glad Solon's alive."

"Phew, Dear Philia. Everyone's watching..."

"You were so anxious, weren't you? You can be a little sweet, right?

Filia stares at me in tears and blushes.

When they say that, I can't let Philia go either.

It was before the other adventurers watched.

The princess is holding me, though I also feel there's a problem.

But if I was in Philia's shoes, I think I would have been really worried.

"With the magic circuit connected, I knew Solon was alive, but I didn't know when he was going to die... Lots of other adventurers are dead..."

"I'm sorry I got you worried, and I'm away from Master Philia's side"

"I know it's not Solon's fault. But I want you to promise me you'll never leave me alone again."

"I promise."

"Really?"

"True."

When I smiled, Philia looked at me, too, and smiled.

And crush me while you're stuck with me.

"Because if Solon were here, I'm sure he'd make it home safely from this ruin to where we are"
