Long time no see.

 

I'm really sorry that I left it for a year.

I would like to update until the end of the war.

The battle between the Ringle army and the Demon King's army turned into a melee.

The battlefield was complicated, and despite the presence of rescue teams, many casualties lay on the ground.

In the midst of all this, I was working hard to treat the wounded, wiping sweat from my forehead with the sleeve of my coat and enduring the pressure of acting in the constant tension of the battlefield.

 

"I haven't been able to completely treat it, so please don't overdo it."

 

Detach from the soldier who has finished treating him and look for the next wounded person.

The smell of death and blood wafting from the surroundings regardless of friend or foe almost makes me vomit out what is in my stomach, but I swallow desperately and keep moving forward.

 

「...... I knew. Damn ......!"

 

I ...... people dying!

It's a war, and my ego can't save all lives! If I had done it poorly, I might have fallen to the ground and passed out ......!

Even when I am tormented by the fear of death, my little will makes my body move.

Inugami-senpai, Kazuki, and the two of them are doing their best, and I can't be the only one standing idly by.

 

"Ugh!"

 

At that moment, a sudden pain ran through my head,

The scene of Inugami Senpai and Kazuki being killed is projected in the field of vision.

He activates a healing spell on his face, but his pain and vision do not heal.

 

"Ouch......"

"Such as stopping on the battlefield!"

"Oh, at a time like this!"

 

Perhaps he saw an opportunity for me to stop in the middle of the battlefield while groaning, but a soldier with horns on his head swung his axe sideways at me.

He rolls sideways to dodge, but the axe he wields slices through his right arm.

 

"Damn it......!"

 

The wound itself is not a big deal, but the headache does not stop.

What's this......!? Is there any danger approaching Inugami-senpai and Kazuki?

If that's the case, we need to get there right away.

 

"Ugh......"

 

He ignored the enemy soldiers and tried to run, but due to his unstable visibility, he tripped over the corpse of the enemy soldier lying on the ground and fell.

 

"I'm not going to die!!"

 

The demon who ran to a position where he could look down on me shouted something and then swung his axe down.

If you are hit by an instant-death attack, the healing magic is meaningless. If that happens, he will not be able to help Kazuki and his senpai.

Prepare for amputation, protect your head with your arms and prepare for impact.

 

"Usato-dono!"

"Whew!"

 

At that moment, when I was prepared for the pain, the knight I had rescued earlier kicked away the demon who was trying to attack me and stabbed me with the sword he was carrying.

 

"Lord Usato! Are you okay?"

"What, soldier...... Oh, thank you."

 

Oh, it was a dangerous place.

I breathed a sigh of relief as I thanked the knight and remembered my headache.

 

"Oh, yes! Inuka...... Do you know where the two heroes are!?"

"Brave man? It's near the center of the front, but--"

"Thank you!"

"Oh, be careful!!"

"Yes!"

 

It's not far from here.

He thanks the knight and starts running. If the headache is a precursor, you need to go right away.

Stay safe, senpai, Kazuki!

"Why don't you call me?"

"Senior!"

"Calm down, Kazuki-kun, it's not a good idea to attack too carelessly."

 

The attack on Kazuki's shoulder was carried out directly, without going through his armor or clothing.

And the three subordinates led by the unit commander who attacked the black knight also fell to the ground, bleeding from their bodies in the same way.

The word "sorry" when he transforms his armor and attacks. Normally, it would seem to mean something different, but there is no way it would hit with such a visible surprise attack. In other words, it is thought that there was another purpose rather than hitting the attack.

There are ...... possible possibilities.

 

「......... All the wounds on that black armor will be returned."

Well, if you give me this many hints, it will be so......

「......」

 

Even when his abilities are discovered, the Black Knight still does not doubt his superiority.

Indeed it would. Even if you know what you're capable of, you don't know how to conquer it.

Presumably, a blow would also be recognized as a wound, and a slash would be out of the question.

The only thing we had to do was to avoid fighting.

 

"I won't let you go, will you? Aside from the others, you're strong for a human. Fight harder, struggle, struggle, and then give up and let me kill you.'

「...... I have no choice but to do it. Either way, no one else can deal with him."

"But as the senior said, if he were to deflect any attack, our attack wouldn't hit--"

"Listen to me, Kazuki-kun. It might be a little risky, but it's something I want to try."

 

He whispers to Kazuki so he can't hear him.

Judging from the word "inversion", he can't reflect an attack unless certain conditions are met. In that case, let's start with the possibility of being attacked.

When he informs Kazuki of his plan, he sends the soldiers behind him to cover the area around him.

 

"Can you go?"

"Senior, it's too dangerous......

"If there is a problem, I'll let Usato-kun heal me."

 

He holds a slender sword while speaking lightly.

Kazuki is the main driver of this operation, and he has to devote himself to supporting him.

 

"I'm going, Kazuki-kun......!"

 

I'll be the first to jump out to the Black Knight, and Kazuki will follow behind.

 

"Hey, I'm coming."

"I can't even pull it!!"

 

The Black Knight transforms his armor and extends tentacles-like to pierce you, but if you fight back poorly, the attack will be returned.

He dodges by lowering himself, and at the same time, throws the lightning magic generated on the sphere at his feet.

 

"That's it......!"

 

The rising dust blocked his view.

After that, Kazuki and I take advantage of the smoke as planned and launch a surprise attack. If the attack passes, the out-of-sight attack will be effective.

 

「!!」

 

Keeping his voice in check, he slashed at his shoulder and slashed his back at an angle as he turned around. In an instant, heat runs through his shoulders, and something warm spreads from under his clothes.

Kazuki seems to have failed as long as he's bleeding from his cheek.

 

"Haha

"Kazuki-kun!"

"Yes!"

 

I grit my teeth at the black knight who laughs happily without knowing what I'm doing.

It's hopeless to be able to fight back when you can't get them to escape.

Usato seems to be able to heal no matter what kind of wound he suffers, but he can't help but stop in his tracks because he's not as used to pain as he is.

 

"Haha, I'm still a modern person, aren't I?"

 

Coming from a peaceful world, I have never been so injured. That's why it hurts—in fact, the wound on my shoulder hurts so much that I'm about to cry.

 

"Hmm? Shoulders?"

 

I should have slashed his shoulder and his back earlier.

If that's the case, you should be able to feel pain in your back, but the attack hasn't been returned.

Simultaneous attacks in limited visibility, the first blow was made by himself first, and the second was carried out almost at the same time as Kazuki. But Kazuki has a proper reflection of his attacks, and I don't.

 

"No way...... Kazuki-kun! I'll set it up once!"

"Huh、......... I get it!"

 

He spurs lightning on his feet and bends down on the spot.

Probably one chance, Kazuki-kun, I asked.

 

 

●

 

 

It seems that the senior has come up with something.

I don't know how I'm going to fight this foul opponent, but if he decides I can go, I'll go after it.

Concentrate and block the Black Knight's attack so that you can cast light magic at any time.

 

"Are you groggy?"

"Shut up!!"

 

Receive the unleashed attack with the belly of the sword and flush it.

It's monotonous to attack, but it's pretty tough not to be able to intercept it, but now that my seniors are trying to do something, I'm just going to do what I can.

 

"That's it!"

"Uhhhh

 

Catch a black mass like a hammer with a sword.

There is a creaking sound coming from his arms and shoulders, but if he writhes in pain now and forgets to think calmly, he will be taken in an instant. However, we cannot continue to fight on the defensive.

I can't attack you, but I'll attack you in other ways!

While dodging the attack by deflecting it, he sheaths the sword he was using for defense. The other person tilts his head at my actions, but he doesn't care, gathering light in his hands and clapping his palms as if to applaud.

 

"If you're going to smash your eyes!!"

『！？』

 

It's not a very self-like move, with a powerful flash of light that illuminates the surroundings, but it works great for the opponent.

Even opponents who don't have light should be vulnerable to this.

Sure enough, the black knight is holding the place where the eyes are with his arm.

In order to gain distance, he kicks the black knight in the abdomen as hard as he can.

 

"Whew...... This is also not good."

 

Even though he feels the pain of being punched in the stomach, he does not take his gaze off the black knight.

The pain seems to return to him, but the black knight, who has staggered slightly as if he can't return the impact, claps his hands and laughs as if he is slightly surprised.

 

"It's so surprising that you can close your eyes! There was no light user who could use such a stupid technique!"

"Oh, what is an idiot—"

 

The moment I was about to say that, a surprising scene appeared in front of me.

Suddenly, a silver object grew out of the Black Knight's chest.

The senior who moved behind the Black Knight at high speed with lightning magic plunged his sword into its torso.

 

"Hmm?"

Is this the correct answer......?"

 

His mind went blank when he saw the senior stabbing his sword into the black knight with a nonchalant face, but for a moment, he immediately realized that something was wrong. I don't see anything wrong with Inugami-senpai.

 

『...... Gah

"Is it working!?"

 

The senior took advantage of the momentary gap that blinded me to the Black Knight, and moved behind me and thrust his slender sword into it.

I'm not sure why, but in the first attack, she realized something and used herself as a decoy to create an opening for herself.

 

"Kazuki-kun! Your attack should work now!"

 

Seeing that a black liquid had flowed through the gap in his armor, the senior was convinced that the attack was going through, and he thrust his sword even deeper and shouted at him.

―――As expected, you're a senior!

Involuntarily, swallowing the words he wanted to praise, he pulled his sword from its sheath and ran to give it a stop.

 

"Oooooooooh--!!"

"Damn it, I'm here!"

 

If you defeat this guy, you can reduce his strength at once and lower the morale of your opponent. Turn the tide of the war in one fell swoop——、 and bring this horrific battle to an end!

Holding his sword at his waist, he swings it up to slash vertically.

 

"What's up?"

 

The moment I heard such a silly voice that did not fit the occasion, I raised my sword and saw a rugged sword stuck in my belly.

He didn't know why, and when he looked at the black knight, his chest wasn't pierced by the sword, and instead he collapsed to the ground, vomiting blood.

And in his hand was a rugged Western sword that he would have pulled from ...... waist.

 

"Wow...... How do you ......?"

"You're wrong in the first place, this armor is made with my magic, so it's me, it's my own, and it's the strongest armor that doesn't affect the contents in any way."

"What's that, ......?"

 

Isn't it a ridiculous monster?

No one can win like this. I fell to the ground vomiting blood, and I still tried to take the sword, but blood overflowed from my abdomen and my arm lost strength without stopping.

No good.

I don't have any power.

 

「...... I'm sorry, Usato."

 

I feel like I can go home......... Missing.

 

 

●

 

"Hmmm."

 

I look around as I look down at the two fallen heroes.

A knight of the Ringle army whose heroes fall and whose morale is lowered. And the soldiers of the Demon King's army are gaining momentum.

I am disgusted by the simple and ridiculous scene.

 

"I wonder what the Demon King is thinking when he fights, if he wants territory, there is a better way...... Well, it's something I care about.'

 

I don't see any value in this fight anymore.

It's always been that way.

From birth, no one can even hurt you. Demons, humans, parents, no one could hurt me, and I walked away.

 

"Do you want to end it?"

 

He draws his sword with the other hand and points it at the female hero, who is still breathing.

He holds his abdomen and glares at you painfully, but such a thing can't be as effective as a hair, and the sword he holds in his opposite hand is firmly aimed at the heart of the hero.

 

"It was fun, just a little bit."

 

A blade that falls toward the heart.

Ah, just when I was discouraged that it was over...

 

"I'm going to let you do it!!"

"Hmm?"

 

The screams of a child who does not fit on the battlefield tremble in the eardrums.

Involuntarily, the moment I turned to the direction where I could hear the stupid voice, a shock that I should not have felt hit my cheek.

 

 

――――What the hell is that?!

 

 

 

I would like to update the next episode soon.
