It was at that tiirl calmly lowered her form, with a slender sword sheathed on her waist, she took a stance where her sword kept being unsheathed

'What's with that? Doesn't she even kno to unsheathe a sword? Was it as I thought, she discerned her death just likespirit?', I was half in admiration like that, and was also half asha woman like her to make such determination I hesitated in what I should do

The enemy's formation had approached quite near, it was impossible to even just throw her into the town after this late

Good grief, she was too great of a companion for the journey to the next world, but at the same time it was too sad Like that I was about to draw out my sword

Yes, I stopped only at an attempt to draw out sword More accurately, the situation became one where I didn't need to continue that action

But surely it couldn't be helped correct? Because, it went supan- y'know It went supa~~~nn in a horizontal straight line like this

Several hundred <Dark Beings>, had their upper body and lower body parted from each other y'know

I don't coht now? A like that

When I looked at the girl, she whispered so like 「……Like this I can be rushed huh This is still in practice but, can't be helped」

But, I couldn't ask or anything Because, after blinking, behind me and her there were several hundred, no, I felt like she whispered that ht sounded like 「Senjin - Kokutou(Thousand Blades - Black Katana)」, so I believed it was a thousand, that was howup there in orderly fashion

It was aca s and cut them

When I whispered 'awesomeee~', before I knew it there were only those bunches that expired pitifully, while the girl had vanished

I went hoer fro 「Report what happened~」, but it wasn't est territory for fruit growingErlach

The written report of a certain vigilance corps captain before revision - excerpt fro> that appeared from the west cultivation area destroyed a part of the defensive wall before the sun co hard Due to the th was reduced by half at that point of time

We collapsed the houses around the destroyed area to turn the <Dark Being>──the carapace race had high defensive power, the best the vigilance corpstheed race that also invaded at the saave difficulty for the defenders to deal with them

The evacuation was still unfinished at this tiilance corps members to deal with the situation, it seee to circle at the rear of the defenders, but then a situation that was unexpected for both us and the <Dark Beings> averted us froht half dome membrane spread fros> and ejected therasp the situation, I went outside from the destroyed part of the wall to scout ahead

There a tiny girl yelled 「Everyoneee! Do itttt──!」

Right away, bugs that nue sized came out in creepy crawly movement I would be troubled even if you ask s cairl y'know I can only say it like that

The bugs' appearance wasn't really different froed race, however, that was a parade of monsters that were many time more brutal than the enemy! Hyahha! This is the end of the world yeah!

I served in the vigilance corpse for twenty years I served as captain for ten years I will be 47 this year, but I've never seen this kind of hell ever It was gross you know, so gross that I've got no s, they secretly devoured those <Dark Being> bunches That was the first tiot preyed on I was trau, I can only see both sides as the nemesis of humanity that has to be annihilated……

「He, hey! You irl said that with pale face, so itSo face……that would hter's face from now on if that happen

In a sense, a situation wherea parade of predation, I' that aside, the h

For exa man with naked upper body suddenly turned into monster in the > bunches into shreds, punched theuys that didn't even retain their original forht ht in front of ht h to say 'I saw so unbelievable!', it was really traureat job

The suys to surrender but, honestly, I think those guys didn't have any leeway to consider it

At that ti, of how to run away from the encounter with the unknown

DespiteI absolutely won't say it out loud but, inside

I never even i to pray for the sake of the <Dark Being> although it was only insideto happen in life

When it reached the endgaht she had a cute face, but the gruesoht, so frankly, it was scary It didn't feel like I was alive

Even so I'ilance corps I had to asked them, just who they are

Feudal lord-sa out ent in e!

Well, I know that's a hopeless request Because, I cannot write about their identity in this written report

It cannot be helped We are talking about the li here

Because, surely anyone will juht?

That thing, it had greenish skin that seeiant body that was higher than two e s in its mouth, and with cri out with fushuu~ sound, while grinning so wiiiiiidely-

Ss in social life I also grinned back

Though my memory cut off there Can't be helped, h I was behind thatto faint noabout them!

That's all!

──The nearest supply accu to the situation at that time

「Rothko-sama! An army from the north!」

「……So it's as expected」

While it's a shocking news that enteredthat I have anticipated I can feel how o when her majesty received the notification of the dire situation, the northern territory that was called with alias "The Third Supply Accu attacked

Radice wasn't like Arquette that was blessed with the good fortune of "his" presence, they had no prospect of getting saved, in that case, it can be easily predicted where those <Dark Being> bunches would head toward after they finished with Radice

I don't knohat happened with the soldiers that should be heading here as reinforcement from the capital

But, if by any chance they clashed with the <Dark Beings>, then their battle strength should et decreased He had already departed, but if there are the two thousand soldiers I received from her majesty, then perhaps……

「Then, howto the report from the scout that patrolled the outskirt……it's e-kun Can your troops drive theimental commander who is entrusted with the troop of two thousand──Still Orlage-kun rave expression

「The reinforcement to the defensive wall is finished If their army has the same composition with the previous attack, then I sill repel them back even if their nuuessed it with a sour expression as though I a When I confir species, there is even giant race ah The underground vault is also flawless, now that it's the second time we should be able to do evacuation of the people smoothly too But, we cannot expect for reinforceht now her er the capital is in

「It appears, that fate wish for this land to perish no e-kun didn't hear the gruive the instruction for the people to evacuate I ive some brief words to brush away their anxiety even for just a little

I exchange bitter s hope that perhaps we can meet our beloved child one more time, and yet…' She who is able to smile like that even in this kind of situation is really an able wife in ures of people carrying their feet toward the underground vault in line The previous fight caused the surrounding of the underground vault to becoress is really smooth

Suddenly, my ears catch the voice of the children Their voices even sound bright despite this kind of situation

「I' you it will be fine! After all we have hero-saone away somewhere you know?」

「There is that but……but, it's absolutely going to be fine! Surely hero-sah he isn't here, he is still bringing about hope

Thinking of hi consciousness, driven only by the feeling of having to protect us no ret, because of mortification I a his life at risk

When he someday come back here, ill he think when he see this ruined land Just froet crushed

「Rothko-sama, let's hurry the evacuation of the people The enemy's moveot it」

It seeined Could it be that thewas also conveyed to the <Dark King>?

While feeling the sensation as though the fighting spirit of those <Dark Being> bunches are being transht to be doing

We ed to finish the evacuation of the people The placeht to be done──is done

Sound like ground ru fro spirit of those <Dark Being> bunches is the real thing

At this tiht anytime

……

……

……

They are unexpectedly slow huh……

Although explosion sounds are resounding……

……

……

……

They are really slow! Ti like this is unexpectedly also distressful!

Don't tell me, are they lost? If that's the case, when those lots finally arrived I'randly provoke the lost in this vast desert huh~」 before dying……

Don't tellthem back? No, that's i to Arquette So> at a flat plain without anything in it will only be suicide

Or perhaps, the reinforcement has a number that can crush an army of more than ten thousand fro arous A soldier force of infantry in such nu Either way, it's strange that no er come to Arquette if that's actually the case

……H on……, shit-, we are lacking inforoes through, I can see a scouting soldier desperately running over a hill at the north

When I ht away, his expression looks like he had seen the end of this world He gives me his report with inarticulate speech

「A, a deht It's true that <Dark Being> isn't hu what does heout a shocking report

Let's see, so down an arht is traot bloay? Countless huge aniht after a part of their body transforht, or else they looked like they were firing so that looked like a tube, and at the next moment, flame blast spread and turned the enee-kun Did you make a mistake with the selection of personnel? Or perhaps, aren't you overworking this man too much?

Eh? It's not a lie? Please believe what you said?

That youngadvice to surrender, and the enenored that and escaped was finished off with a shot of light even though there was distance of several kilo at the shadow of the hill from quite far off distance and your eyes met each other?

What's that, scary

Ah, yep, you, co I can understand how much fear you>, so he is our ally……I think

Yosh, Orlage-kun We are going there to confire-kun tried to stopman has repelled the eneive himan is his ally

If that's the case, we have to treat hireatest respect

I push away the protests and head toward the scene with Orlage-kun and the soldiers as guards

Let's say the conclusion It was hell

The earth is all turned up with countless craters on the surface The corpses of <Dark Beings> that aren't keeping their original form The bits of flesh scattered all over Here and there are fla world cri rareat nue appearance

And then, on top of the corpses of <Dark Beings> that were so while glaring down at everything Cri fro sonize it If hell really exist, then surely it will be this kind of sight without a doubt

The young man turned his face toward us who are duuessed it

──Before long the deht arrive There will be salvation if there is suitable compensation for him

Aa, those words, so it refer to this! This person is truly the de absuridty with even e!

There I suddenly co-sama became our salvation In other words, it shows that we possess so that is suitable to compensate him

Blood leaves from my face quickly Who paid the compensation? It's obvious It's him Then how much is the compensation? A co done Then, this is about that person who risked his life for Arquette's sake we are talking about here Even if he cannot pay it right now, so-saht to be bestoith your presence heree!! I am the feudal lord of Arquette, Rothko Arquette-!! First allowthe ene-sa 「O, ou?」 for some reason, but I'm desperate here Anyway I'll just say what I have to say! While rubbing round at the sa-sama to be here, my foolish self here dare say that you received a co thiscreeped out while saying 「Eh, what is this old h」, but I' you-, I'll offer youyou with everything that I a like the life of an old man」

I was dismissed so bluntly He don't need the life of an old man……hah, don't tell ive onlyyou for your ive at least the life of -sama said 「Why, aetting asked, why did I then beco to steal the feudal lord's wife? I just don't get it……」 while looking like he is holding his head but, I'eza while yelling desperately, it's déjà vu…… Like this, I don't care any the voice with the dreadfulness in it thinning down for soure of the dee-kun who is coldly sweating, the de-sama vanish at the other side of space with a sullen look

At that tie-kun who has good hearing, just before the de his life for the sake of that guy……I see This is that guy's……」 with his lips slackening just for a bit

It's only a hunch but, it see the life of Kouki-dono

Perhaps I have been doing so really rude

Someday, I'll ask about him from Kouki-dono And then, I'll ask to be allowed to express my thanks oncehim as reinforcement

For the sake of that too, Kouki-dono Please be safe I'll believe that I'll be able to reunite again with you along with herevery tihts, opinions, and reports aboutand omitted words

It's the turn for the serious to rest for a bit
