Umarekawatta “Kensei” Wa Raku o Shitai

"Aria......?

Iris couldn't hide his surprise from his best friend in front of him.

In the momentary gap shown by the upset, the "thread" intertwines in the hands, feet and body of the United Kingdom, limiting movement.

"Huh!"

"Don't move. If you move poorly, the yarn can cut off your body easily"

Aria mouths that lightly.

The yarn that binds Illis was stretched out of the "black hole" created around it - magic that Aria specializes in.

I want it to be a lie - I thought so, but its face and its voice... is Aria herself, who knows Illis.

"How could...!

Iris asks Aria. But Aria will not answer the words of Illis.

Aria's eyes were as cold as they used to be when we just met, and she didn't seem to be looking at Iris.

My best friend, who was supposed to have disappeared, is in front of me, raiding Illis and Merche - even in a situation where I couldn't sort everything out, Illis understood what he had to do.

(We need to rendezvous with the teachers... to do so...)

"... Huh!

I am not lost in the movement of Illis.

Even if the yarn tightens the body, it tries to move the body to invoke its own sword, Purple Electricity.

Even if the eaten yarn damages the skin and bleeds, Iris never cares.

……

Neither did Aria show any tricks that upset her when she saw it. It's just that you should be able to move out right now, but there's no sign of Aria moving.

- There was movement on the other side.

"- Master Iris, don't push it."

"... Huh?

At the same time as that word reached the ear, the thread that was tying the movements of the iris becomes lighter.

Merchet's thrown knife cut the thread.

"Mr. Merche......!?

"There are two enemies - you..."

Hikari Merche turns her gaze towards Aria.

He gave a slightly surprised look, but Merche quickly rushed out to the other side.

Not lost in Merche's movements, he rushes to the enemy in the front after helping Illis.

It was the short knife that was removed from the nostalgia - the engagement between Merche and the assassin began.

"Dear Illis, I'm at your disposal."

"... sorry, thanks"

Merche has also come here as an escort for Aena - rather, she is probably better up there in combat experience.

Once again, Illis turns to Aria.

"... I have a lot to ask - but for that, Aria. Looks like we need to fight you."

"Fine, come here"

Aria answers that and tries to distance herself from Illis in a mild motion.

Iris moved to follow it.

A short distance away, the two stop moving.

Aria sets up two shortcuts, and Illis wraps his thunder and calls his own sword at hand.

Even if we've ever cut each other with a simulated sword, we've never hit each other with all the power we have.

When opposed to Swordsmen, the two people who worked together are now - trying to face each other and fight.

"... you're serious"

"So is Illis."

"Hey, why are you... here? I've been worried... and you're after us...?

"... it has nothing to do with Illis"

"It can't be irrelevant! We're..."

What blocked the words of Illis were the illumination bullets that sparkled from outside the arena and - the blow of Aria without a stray.

Shortcuts and swords collide, and their gazes stagger.

"I have nothing to talk to Iris about right now"

"... Huh!

I guess there's nothing to persuade or get through.

Illis amplifies the magic and increases the power of the surrounding thunder.

Realizing it, Aria quickly distanced herself from Illis.

It was the Black Hole that appeared around her. By throwing it there, Aria allows attacks from all directions.... exactly the kind of magic the Assassins use.

(Don't get lost now... I have to stop Aria)

Iris squeezes the pattern of the sword hard and takes the stand.

Again the two ran out - the battle between Aria and Iris began.
