Episode 86

Of course I wasn’t sure.

Unlike Serran Silize, I didn’t feel that possibility in Shion Reggieard.

He could only foresee its fate because he had encountered the demonic sword of flame while dealing with the demonic sword of darkness without any restrictions.

‘Should I watch a little more?’

Until now, Enrite had only looked at the present and made judgments.

I had only vaguely speculated about what kind of past I had lived in and what kind of future I would be heading towards.

In other words, the most stable and intuitive method was chosen to obtain certain results.

‘… I could be wrong.’

Ever since Enritte became a human, she had no doubts that she would always be doing the right thing.

In order to annihilate the 3 great demon kings and the 4 great disasters, they concluded that they must cooperate with humans and gather all the demon swords in one place.

He searched for a qualified human to be used as a demonic sword, and eventually joined the Silreys Knights and waited for the time to come.

However, an unexpected situation occurred, and because of that, another future had to be drawn.

‘If I was right, it should have ended then.’

In those days when the ancient times stood, the light demonic sword El Tesoicb and the dark demonic sword Exceed Rain were born.

The human first and last used the two demonic swords to bring an end to the Demon God and the Dragon.

At the same time, five demonic swords appeared, and the 3rd demon king and 4th calamity appeared.

‘Even if the 3 Great Demon Kings and 4 Great Calamities are eliminated, other demons may appear.’

The human and himself wished for the demons and dragons to disappear, but Exceed Rain did not come up with any intentions.

Right now, he was just trying to collect the magic swords by himself, and no one knew about his true intentions.

Of course, it would be okay to seek cooperation from humans, but on the contrary, the fire of desire could lead to the destruction of the Alain Kingdom.

Above all, the same past could repeat itself, so I had to be careful now.

‘Even if I collect all the demonic swords, will they follow my words?’

At least the three people gathered here can somehow convince them.

However, he couldn’t guarantee that other demonic sword masters would cooperate with him.

Rather, even if they were qualified, they could have wrong thoughts or commit evil deeds and threaten this world.

‘so… There must be a human who can use the acid lane with me.’

Enrite instinctively realized that the seven demonic swords had to be gathered.

However, not everything went his way, so he had to prepare other means.

The best way is to use himself and Acid Rain together, and the next way is to have another demonic sword in place of Acid Rain.

‘It’s not impossible. Even if we are not brothers, the essence is the same… … .’

That’s why I tried to grow Seran Silage.

If you reach the proper level, you will be able to use the magic sword of lightning together with yourself.

However, given the choice of acid lane, I had no choice but to worry.

‘Alliance alone is not enough. Bringing the knights together… … .’

“It looks like the meal is over, so let’s get up first.”

“Ah, would you like to?”

“As for the order of night watch, it would be better for us to follow the Sillaz Knights. If the schedule changes, I would like you to let me know right away.”

“Yes, I will. Can we talk about the night watch order after discussing it among ourselves?”

“… All right.”

Harnette walks side by side with Shion and slowly sinks into relief.

“… sorry. You could say I did it.”

“You don’t have to be sorry. Your fault is my fault.”

“Then do you feel more sorry?”

“Not necessarily. Think of it the other way around.”

“Well… If I do well, will you do well too?”

“right. I’m leading the knights. If I do well, it’s good, and if I don’t, I’m the only one who gets pointed at.”

“Because I showed my skills… Can you say that I did well?”

“I can’t take too good of it because there are things I’m not good at.”

“Isn’t that better in some way? You avoided the Knights and only used flame magic on the beasts.”

“Good is right. You showed me how high my sister is.”

Shion put down tableware and spoons near the barracks and headed to the riverside.

Hanette lightly bowed her eyes to the knights and followed Shion.

“… Can we make an alliance with the Silreys Knights?”

“Well… i think i can do it Skills are also skills, and we work well together. Seti… Hmmm, there’s nothing wrong with the deputy knight commander.”

“Is your sister only looking at the deputy knight commander?”

“The deputy knight commander is very handsome.”

“It would be nice to see the knight commander.”

“The knight commander is fine, but… I care more about the sword.”

“… Why the sword?”

Shion slowly stops and looks down at the riverside.

The weapon used by the main character, Saeran Silage, was the thunderbolt magic sword Nailing.

If Harnette was conscious of that weapon, it would have to be seen as actually recognizing the demonic sword.

“What should I say… It feels a bit familiar. I think I’ve seen it a lot.”

“Where did you see it?”

“But I never actually saw it. Why do you feel this way? Why?”

“… … .”

Zion knew why.

Except for the demonic sword of light and the demonic sword of darkness, other demonic swords can sense each other.

Because that sense is transmitted to the user of the magic sword, they instinctively recognize the magic sword.

Perhaps even Serran Silize knew that Hanette had a demonic sword.

“I’ve seen it before, but it’s possible that I don’t remember it.”

“It could be.”

“Have you ever experienced anything special as a child? It might have something to do with that.”

Shion induces an answer naturally and carefully notices.

Clearly, Hanette must have obtained the magic sword before meeting her.

If so, wouldn’t there be one or two incidents connected to him?

“When you were young? Hmm… When I was young… … .”

Harnette squatted on her legs, lost in thought.

Then, wetting our hands in the river, we move around.

“I only have memories of being scolded by the head of household and my mother?”

“… How did you do it?”

“Well, you said you wanted to learn magic… I just said no. He said he wanted to wear a suit like the sons of nobles… That didn’t happen either. I want to run and play… I said it was vulgar and nasty. There were so many things that didn’t work.”

“… … .”

Shion looks down at Hanette with a sad look on her face.

Even just hearing it in words, it seemed that sad and melancholic emotions flowed in.

Robbins and Yenid would have tried to lead Hannette on the right path, but I wonder if Hannette suffered and lived in sorrow.

No matter what he said, he probably wouldn’t be able to comfort him.

“I was just asking.”

“It’s fine. you can ask It’s already past.”

Harnette poured out the river water in her hand and stood up.

If Shion hadn’t helped her, she wouldn’t have been able to overcome even these memories.

Now that I’m moving as I want, won’t a better future come?

“… ah! I remembered.”

“What do you remember?”

“Something special happened when I was young.”

Harnette shakes off her hands and turns obliquely.

Shion shows interest in the words with a strange anticipation.

“When was it? 4 years old… No, did I say 5 years old? There was a time when he was very sick, but he said he couldn’t breathe properly because his body was so cold. I called all the paladins and mages, but it was no use, so I wondered if I was going to die like this.”

“So how did it go?”

“that is… Well… I don’t know if you believe it, but suddenly the flames came out and it was fine.”

“… Sister, what are you talking about?”

“Why? I’m just telling you what I’ve heard The bed and blankets were all burned. I almost burned my room, but they said how well it turned off.”

“… … ?”

Shion was dumbfounded for a moment, but at least roughly understood what he was saying.

Maybe it was because of that accident that he got the magic sword of flame.

“Is your sister not hurt?”

“That’s a little strange, but he said he wasn’t hurt at all. They just laughed at how good it was.”

“It is strange. It must be hot, why are you laughing?”

“Why are you asking me that? I know nothing.”

“What happened to your sister?”

“I don’t remember because I was too young. I must have been a little crazy at the time. Ha ha!”

Harnett smiles refreshingly and observes Shion’s reaction.

However, Shion showed a stiff expression and was worried over and over again.

‘Did he realize his magical power while obtaining the magic sword?’

There was no way Robbins and Yenid were lying.

And since it wasn’t something you see often, it must have been closer to the truth.

In other words, it meant that Harnette showed her talent as a wizard from the age of 4 or 5.

‘That’s why he had a lot of magic. The fact that he used magic well… … .’

Harnette has grown up with the magic sword inside her body.

As a result, his magic power increased significantly, and he must have had superior adaptability and understanding of flame magic.

Perhaps even the desire for magic has something to do with the demonic sword.

‘If it’s Hanette, it might be possible.’

It wasn’t just speculation.

Even the protagonist was able to communicate with the demonic sword only after becoming an adult.

If the other magic sword users were later than that, it would be too late, and they wouldn’t be able to communicate faster.

If Hanette can grow properly, wouldn’t it be possible to surpass not only the blue sage, but even the main character?

“there… Are you okay? Your expression doesn’t look good.”

“… sister.”

“uh… Why are you calling me?”

“I just realized something important.”

“What did you realize?”

“I must have a sister.”

Harnette burst out laughing and tried to fight back out of habit.

However, the smile faded quickly, and it seemed that he was only looking at Shion.

Her purple eyes were shining brighter than ever.

“That… That’s what you said last time.”

“At that time, I saw it as a companion. It is different now.”

“What is different?”

“I think I can do anything with my sister.”

“Um… … .”

Harnette feels burdened, but she can’t bear to avoid those eyes.

It seemed that his belief in himself was being conveyed honestly.

Can he really help Zion just by being by his side?

“If you want… what… Nothing difficult.”

Harnette barely answered while wrapped in faint heat.

I’m sure I’ve heard something similar before, but why am I so excited?

‘Am I trusting my skills? If not… … .’

The periphery of the kingdom of Alain, the blind spot.

The Silreys Knights moved irregularly and wandered all over the periphery.

Since he received advance payment from the lords of the castle, he had to be dispatched to the relevant area immediately when the mission came down.

Shion and Hanette did not participate in the battle, but they were following each other quite busy to meet the schedule.

“Aren’t you tired? How are you doing this?”

“I have no choice but to do that. Once trust is lost, you cannot accept the mission. What do you think will happen next?”

“Because I can’t carry out my mission… Can’t you keep the knights?”

“That’s right, the Knights will be disbanded.”

“… At that time, wouldn’t it be enough to enlist all of our knights?”

“… I hadn’t thought of that.”

It was an ingenious idea, but the premise was wrong.

There was no way the Silreys Knights could fail to carry out their mission.

It was because the main character, the white apostle, and the knights with appropriate skills were gathered in one place.

In addition, because the trust of the castle lords was strong, he would not turn away from the Sillays Knights.

“Even if we only bring the deputy commander, we can benefit… … .”

Feeling something, Harnette looked out to see where the Sillays Knights were.

Shion also followed that line of sight and found a group of Witchbeasts.

I tried not to go out as much as possible, but I felt like I had to participate in the battle this time.

“Sister, just support me here. I must go.”

“… okay.”

“All troops to escort the deputy knight division commander.”

“All right!”

Hannette was worried, but she couldn’t bear to hold on.

Because he had to obey the orders of the knight commander.

Shouldn’t we just believe in the fact that Zion is strong and help as much as we can?

‘Full body armed.’

Shion ran quickly and summoned the acid rain.

Black air flowed from the acid rain and began to cover Shion’s body.

The black air current changed into another form, and in a short time, jet-black armor was created.

Shion spread purple eyes and infused magic into the acid rain.

‘That guy is dangerous. There is no reason to come here… … .’
