To be honest, it wasn't surprising that Leona Mr./Ms. rushed to this place.
I hadn't been notified in advance that reinforcements were coming, and above all, Mealak was a long way from here, and Mealak itself had not yet been fully recovered.
"Excuse me, but it's Hyde, who is in charge of this place...... Are you sure you're the hero of Mialak?"
Mr./Ms. Hyde talks to Leona Mr./Ms., who is wary of Barginak, who is stuck and ramming his tail.
"Ah, I received an order from Queen Norn and rushed to this place."
"Are you alone?"
Leona nodded at Hyde Mr./Ms.Mr./Ms.s words.
She turns her gaze to Barginak, who is frozen and still unable to move.
"I've blocked his movement for a little while, so get ready in the meantime."
「…… I'll trust you. Helena! Let those who are depleted of magic back down! Once again, we will form a formation and defeat this monster!"
While Barginak's movements are blocked, Mr./Ms. Hyde calls on his men to evacuate.
When Leona saw this, Mr./Ms. turned to me and took out what looked like a small bottle from her pocket and handed it to me.
"Usato, this."
"What? Vial?"
Why ...... this now?
He takes it and tilts his head.
The vial contained a translucent liquid, very similar to the potion that the Norn, Queen of Miarakh, had been drinking.
"Hold it to Master Falga, it's a potion that restores magic and has a bit of a reminder."
"Restore your magic...... Isn't it very precious......?"
"Don't worry about it, it's what you need."
Restore your magic power?
While drinking a small amount of raw spit, remove the mouth of the small bottle and pour it down the throat at once.
The peculiar pungent smell and bitterness made me teary-eyed, but when I swallowed it, the center of my body gradually became hot.
"Uh......hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"Usato!?"
"Is it poisonous?!"
I almost collapse by pressing my chest, but before I can do so, Mr./Ms. supports me.
"Don't worry, your body is just generating heat in the process of restoring your magic."
"Huh......
"I'm sorry, but please keep listening."
Tormented by the strange sensation of magic restoring within herself, she listens to Mr./Ms.'s story.
"First of all, I apologize for being late, I flew in the fastest small boat in the Mealak, but I was still quite late."
"No, it's enough for you to come to my rescue."
In fact, it really helped me to keep Barginak in his tracks.
"Maybe Leona's Mr./Ms. is late, ......?"
"Oh."
She nods at my words.
If she joins the fight from the beginning, there is no way she will be late.
"It was late, but we brought what Master Falga entrusted to us here."
「! Is it here?"
"No, I've gone to those who have already been recognized as bearers."
The next moment Leona Mr./Ms. said that, a white glow and a bouncing electric shock shot from the direction where Senpai and Kazuki were fighting Koga and Amira were emitted.
Along with that, the gauntlet on my right arm and the spear on Leona's Mr./Ms. tremble as if in resonance.
…… Well, the "armor of the brave" made by Falga-sama has finally fallen into the hands of the two of them. He holds his hand on his vibrating right hand and chews on his joy.
Finally, the armor of the hero was delivered to Senpai and Kazuki.
For the two of them, it will be a slap in the face, but I'm sure the two of them will be able to use it.
"Thank you, Mr./Ms., Leona, really."
"To repay you, it's not enough for me."
Rather, I feel like I'm just being helped.
And then there's Ferm. I feel like I'm being punched from the inside of my clothes, but what? Are you trying to release the heat by hitting it?
Or rather, I don't want to open my mouth in front of Leona Mr./Ms....... Are you surprisingly shy?
"You too...... It's changed a lot in a little while."
"Hahaha, fuse with one of your buddies for a moment? That's what I'm doing."
「…… Hmm? Hmm?"
As expected, the explanation was not enough, and I tilted my head.
Nea, who can't see it, talks to Mr./Ms. Leona.
"Ah, I think it makes sense when you think that this guy is doing what he always does."
「…… I see."
Why was he convinced?
Or rather, you're doing what you always do? It sounds like he's always trying to assimilate with Ferm.
「…… Okay."
The heat that had been welling up from the inside receded.
The magic power that had been depleted has been restored by about 40% of the sense. This much magic is enough.
"It's okay now."
"Oh, I see."
Moving away from Mr./Ms. Leona, she stands up for herself.
If you look around, you can see that Hyde Mr./Ms. has set up a formation and is ready to attack Barginak.
"Usato, what are you going to do now?"
"I'm here to help the injured."
"Huh, then I'm going to be on a par with you again."
Mr./Ms. spun her spear somewhat happily and levitated eight ice spears around her.
Seeing her completely accepting herself as a hero, I was somehow happy despite this situation, and I couldn't help but smile.
"I don't know if I'll be able to help this time, but I'll try."
What needs to be done has not changed from the beginning.
We're going to defend this front for the sake of our seniors and Kazuki, who are at a critical juncture right now, and for Rose.
Yes, I made up my mind inwardly, and I looked at Barginak, who was about to break the freeze and start moving again.
●
"Haaaaaah!"
"Oooooh!"
He wields two swords with electric shocks and exchanges swordplay with Amira.
The heat that almost burned my skin, and the blows delivered from my solid strength and experience, contained enough power to incapacitate me.
"Don't get that kind of money!"
"Tick ......."
In just a few rounds, the swords in both hands shattered.
While clicking his tongue, he leaps backwards while flicking a stab in the heart with an electric palm wrapped in an electric shock.
As soon as he lands, he picks up the sword and spear that are discarded on the ground and attacks Amira again.
"That's a lot of power! It's reminiscent of an ogre!"
While provoking, he throws a spear with an electric shock.
"You're frighteningly fast, like a dog running around."
"Needless to say, you called me a dog!?"
Isn't that a wolf or something?!
However, there is no way that Amira would think that Amira who burns the approaching spear with a single swing of her sword is a knight of strength alone.
She uses her speed to launch a series of attacks, but when she responds, she is not an ordinary warrior.
As he was trying to figure out a way out, dodging attacks and flames by mixing electric shocks and sword attacks, Amira looked a little irritated and stopped in her tracks, clutching her sword in both hands.
"It's annoying, let's roast it......!"
"Whew!"
Amira inflames the flames even more and holds her sword at the bottom.
Shivering with a definite chill, I immediately jumped from the spot, and with extraordinary enthusiasm and vigor, she raised her sword and threw it at me with flames.
"Shhhh......h What a flame ......!"
As I landed on the ground, I let out a cry of agony as I threw away the charred armor on my right shoulder.
It took a little bite, but there is no problem with movement...... But its explosive power is astounding.
Amira, who is approaching at a slow pace in the orange flames, is twitching. The only hit he hit was shallow and not fatal.
"You've been away from Kazuki-kun for a long time......"
You can barely see it, but Kazuki is also engaged in a fierce battle with a demon man named Koga.
The opponent is a demon tribe with the physical abilities of Usato-kun and dark magic.
If possible, I would like to defeat Amira as soon as possible and go to the side, but that is also a difficult part.
"———?"
He threw his sword to the ground and was about to pick up a nearby sword when he saw something shiny in the sky.
What? I looked up warily at Amira who was approaching me with flames, and I noticed that the glowing object was falling straight towards me.
"What?"
Two glittering spheres of gold and silver.
They split in mid-air, and a silver orb fell on Kazuki-kun and another golden orb on me--bursting with an intense light, releasing an outpouring of electric shocks that turned the surroundings golden.
"Shape Your Heart"
I couldn't open my eyes to the light, and I heard someone's voice I didn't know.
It's a voice that is grave and solemn, but you can feel something like kindness.
Along with that, my vision full of light reflects another scene that is not a battlefield scene.
Memories of being summoned to this world.
Memories of visiting Usato, who is in the rescue team.
Memories of being shipwrecked in the darkness of Ringle.
Other memories of when I was almost killed by the Black Knight, and memories of traveling away from Usato and Kazuki in Luxvis, run through me like a running light.
I saw it and understood it immediately.
This is not my memory, but Usato's memory.
"It's a lie, isn't it......!?"
What's this? From the side, I was such a weird person!
I think it's too much of a mess!
That's right, Usato reacts like that!
I'm a super troublesome person!
While writhing in agony at an experience that he would never experience in the original world, he manages to endure it.
"Shape my heart...... How?"
I don't know what the phenomenon is now.
But I know that the reason why Amira isn't attacking me now is because the light that covers me is protecting me.
Believing in the voice that was thrown at me and the golden light, I slowly closed my eyes.
Gradually, the light that enveloped me faded, and the next time I opened my eyes, I was back to the same battlefield scenery as before.
In front of him is the figure of Amira who is staring at us with wide eyes.
"What is it, sir, ......?"
"Hmm?"
"It's the weapon in his hand."
"Buki?"
As she was told, she looked at her hand that Amira pointed to and was speechless.
In my hand I was holding a weapon that I had never had before.
"Ka, kaka!?"
It's so shocking that you can't help but ......!
The hilt of the sword in the black scabbard was decorated with yellow and black patterns, and the bridle was a conspicuous gold color.
In this world, ——— Japan sword was something that could only be confirmed by the heroes of the previous generation, but now there was something in my hands.
"This is what Usato-kun said...... My very own hero's weapon."
Frankly, I don't know much about swords.
However, I understand that the weapon that I have in my hands right now is a weapon that will maximize my strength.
With that in mind, he was about to raise his weapon to Amira.
"Are you the brave Suzune?"
「…… Huh?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded from the direction of the sword.
He looks at Amira in a daze, but she tilts her head as if she hasn't heard anything.
Only I can hear ......!?
Eh, I mean, maybe this is what it is? Isn't it possible to say that it is a royal road anymore?
"My name is Farga, and now through your armor--"
"Tsu, I finally have a talking weapon in my hands!?"
『……』
While almost hitting Armira's attack in an unexpected development, he turns his attention to the sword.
No, wait a minute. Faruga was what Usato said...... What!?
"It's dangerous!?"
"How long are you going to stand on the stick, and are you going to sneer at me?"
He wipes his forehead while dodging the flames that were looming in front of him.
After some distance from me, the sword that called itself Farga scolded me.
"What are you thinking in the middle of a battle, you idiot? You're just as silly as Usato said, aren't you?"
"Yes, I'm sorry......"
- She is eaten by Falga, who is more poisonous than she thought.
The people I interact with are so me that I almost cry.
"Well, the Hero of Light is a serious young man...... Right now, we're having a conversation through your armor. Soon that connection will be gone, but until then, I'll teach you how to handle your armor.'
"Wow, I get it."
"Pull out that katana first."
When he draws his sword from its scabbard in accordance with Farga-sama's words, a white and silver blade engraved with a wavy pattern is revealed.
The magic of the electric shock system circulates as if it is constantly charged, and when I pull out all of the blade from the scabbard, something is released, and Shiden runs from the hilt of the sword to my body.
It's the same feeling as "Thunder Beast Mode", but it's different.
Instead of scattering electric shocks in vain as before, I felt as if I was efficiently circulating electric shocks through this sword to my vessel.
"This is ......!"
"There's no time to be surprised."
"What?"
"Where are you looking......!"
Accelerated by the explosion of flames, Amira approaches me as if to cut off my head.
Just as I was about to fly sideways with an instant electric shock, I was accelerated more than I had expected.
——— didn't activate Thunder Beast Mode, but ...... accelerated more than that!?
"Whew!"
In an instant, I traveled more than 30 meters, staring at the scorched footprints on the ground.
"Efficiency of magical power, and what you can apply it in the most suitable way for you."
"It's surprisingly low in the amount of magic consumed...... I can move fast ......."
I regained my grip on my sword and moved lightly to return to the spot.
The speed is unparalleled.
"In addition, it seems that the katana blade also has some abilities."
"Ability?"
"There's an enemy to deal with, so try it out."
"Got it!"
Inserting the scabbard into the belt where the sword was stored, I gripped the sword in my right hand and turned to face Amira.
Amira must have sensed that I was coming, so she raised her sword and shifted to a defensive stance.
"I'm going......!"
Wearing the Shiden transmitted from the sword, he lowers himself and jumps forward at the same time.
Leaving an electric footprint, I glared at her as she rushed in front of me and tried to hit the counter with precision.
"Little girl, put your magic power in the blade of the sword."
"Yes!"
He passes his right hand through the blade and traps his magical energy in the blade.
The silver blade glows and begins to emit a powerful snapping sound.
She matched Amira's flaming sword and tried to strike it, but she forced her sword to turn around and slam it to the ground.
While dodging the gravel engulfed in flames from the ground, he is stunned by Amira's actions.
"You deflected your sword!?"
"You must have seen that you were going to be cut off, and the other party is also quite a wielder."
"I know better!"
As I responded, Amira forcibly pulled the sword that had slammed it into the ground, correcting its trajectory into a blow that sliced through my torso.
I can't match the sword well at this angle......
You don't have to go out of your way to hit each other, and you just have to be fast and go for the win!
"Hah......!"
He dodges the sword as he leaps, and keeps his momentum spinning in the air as his gaze fixes on Amira's neck.
——...... cut off your neck as it is!
With his vision upside down, he goes to slash Amira's neck.
"Let me do it!"
However, the opponent is also not the same.
The armor on his body was set ablaze, and the hot air pushed my body out, and the blow that tried to slash my neck was limited to a slight slash of the armor on my shoulder.
Did you miss ......?
The moment she stepped away to regain her position, an electric shock shot shot from the sword-carved into the armor of Amira's shoulder and struck her body.
"What!? Ugh, ugh...... Whew!"
An electric shock emanated from the place where I slashed...... Why?
As Amira fell to her knees after being struck by the electric shock, Mistress Falga spoke in a calm tone.
"It increases its sharpness according to the magic power it contains, and it inflicts an electric shock on any object it slashes. These are the two abilities of Katana that can grasp the current situation.
If you try slashing the ground lightly with a sword, an electric shock will come out in a few seconds.
I see...... In other words, depending on how you use it, it may be possible to set it up like a trap.
"Well, let's take this opportunity to pursue it...... Uh-huh."
He tries to attack while Amira is frightened, but the Shiden on his body disappears and his movements return to normal speed.
The magical power that was attached to the blade has also disappeared, and it has returned to a normal sword.
"It seems that the magic stored in the katana has been exhausted."
"What!? Can't you use it anymore!?"
I was about to jump out triumphantly!
I was shocked, but Falga-sama let out a sigh of dismay.
"Listen to the end, you idiot. Then the power should return to the katana. But if you get the timing wrong, it can be fatal--"
"Isn't it a recharge or a mass of romance......!"
『…… Well, you'll be fine. …… Ah, one half of the hero is a very troubled child......
The negative part can be a plus depending on how you think about it.
In my case, the romance of recharging raises my energy and excitement.
"It's about time the connection between the armor and me was broken, and I don't need to explain the rest, right?"
"Thank you for your advice! If possible, the next time we talk, I would like to talk in person!"
『……』
「…… Huh?"
His voice was cut off as if he was going to hang up the phone.
Eh, this is it, right? You lost the connection before you could respond, right? It's not like you were refused to meet a natural, right?
"As expected, you are a brave man...... No, it would be disrespectful to you to praise him just because he is a hero."
「……!」
"Let me say my name again, my name is Amira Bergred. Serve the Demon Lord...... He's one of those warriors without a title."
Throwing away her burnt cloak, Amira turns to face him.
The damage from the electric shock must have eaten away at her body, but I felt more pressure and intensity from her than before, and I put my hand on the hilt of the sword in its scabbard.
…… Since I was named, it was polite for me to say my name as well.
"I'm Suzune, I'm Suzune Inukami."
"Huh, you can easily outwit us with a human being, a human being is truly a terrible being. …… But I don't know."
As Amira continued to say this, she put on her body again in flame armor.
The amount of heat is incomparable.
He can feel the flames on his skin that can be felt even at a distance of more than a dozen meters, and he understands how much power she will put into the next blow.
"Inukami Suzune! I'm not going to leave you alive here! For the Demon King! I will bet my life and reap your life here!"
"Oh yes......! I hate it, I absolutely have to come back alive! I'll go above and beyond!"
Pulling out my sword and throwing the scabbard to the ground, I glared at Amira as I clutched the hilt with both hands.
Iai doesn't use any real techniques.
It's rude to use such a technique against her now.
"I'm going......!"
...... to store the magic power charged in this blow!
The magical power covering the blade accelerates and begins to vibrate with an overflowing electric shock.
"Come on!"
In response to Amira's voice, he steps forward with all his might, holding himself in the lower bunk.
In an instant, I reached my maximum speed, and I shook off the heat as I wielded my sword at Amira.
Amira, on the other hand, was swinging her sword at me with precision, as if she had anticipated my move.
「…… Whew!"
"Haaaah!"
A sword covered in flames and a sword charged with electric shocks collide.
Each other's magic bursts and hurts their bodies like knives, but that doesn't stop them from stepping forward.
"If you draw here, you're sure ...... lose!"
Amira's blow now is literally a blow with her whole body. - She doesn't think about the future, and she performs her skills only with the will to slaughter only me!
I don't have a reason to risk my life like Amira! There's a reason why you absolutely have to come back alive!
Hold your breath and use all your strength in your hands and feet that have been stepped on.
I close my eyes and let out my voice as I feel.
"Woooooo Usato Kuu
「!?」
With a roar that even he could not recognize, he swung his sword with all his might and jumped forward.
As it was, I lost my position so that I could pass Amira and threw myself out as if I were rolling on the ground.
"Huh...... Huh...... What a scream just now!? Me!?"
I feel like I've given a battle cry that doesn't make a lot of sense.
No, it's more Amira than that!
What happened to her!?
Hurriedly, he sat up, and looked at where Amira had been, and saw her lying on the ground, clutching her sword, which had been cut off as if it had been half-melted.
Blood was pouring from his side, where the attack would have hit him directly, but he still looked alive.
"It was a tough opponent...... It's much more ...... than that thunderbeast."
His determination, grit, and experience in battle clearly surpassed mine.
It's frustrating, but without this sword, I might not have been able to beat her.
"I think I pushed myself a little too hard...... It's ......."
As expected, I didn't seem to be safe, and my body was covered in wounds all over the place.
Anyway, when he tries to put the scabbard back in his hand, he suddenly realizes that he has not named this sword.
"I have to give this sword a name......
Naming is intuition.
InukirimaruInuki Kirimaru…… No, there seems to be an anecdote about slashing a dog yokai, so I'll skip it.
RaiguLet's go…… It doesn't look like a sword.
After resting his body, he thinks for a few seconds and decides on a name for the sword.
「…… Let's name this sword "Inumaru". Yeah. Simple is best."
I'll brag to Usato-kun later.
Even though I was writhing in pain in my body, I made up my mind.
____________________________________
I thought that this was the only weapon I had for my seniors.
I don't ...... a sword anymore.
