“I promised you, didn’t I? That ‘I’ll smash such a fate to pieces’?”
Saying that, I hugged Yuri.
“Ah… aha… Wh-when did I ever make such a promise…”
Yuri forced a smile, his face twitching, and squeezed out those words.
But his shoulders were trembling, his voice tearful, his eyes pleading.
“I certainly did. On the way back from the Magic Tower to the Royal Capital, I was on your lap.”
“Eh…?”
Well, Yuri probably thought of that time as just sleep-talking. I feel a little smug.
“So, Yuri, all you have to do is watch over me until the end. I understand that you can’t side with us because of that God (Placeholder) or whatever. So…”
I looked into Yuri’s eyes, raised the corner of my mouth, and said.
“I will surely erase fate… no, The Person Inside, from this world.”
“Ah… Aaaah… Aaaaaaaaaaaah…!”
Yuri cried out in my arms as I told him that.
◇
“Aha ha, calmed down?”
About five minutes had passed since then.
Yuri had finally stopped crying, though he was still a little sniffly.
“Well, that’s that, so take me back to Sandra and the others right now.”
I glared at the video showing the battle between Sandra and the others and King Aival, which Yuri had shown me, and pleaded.
Thanks to the efforts of Sandra and Monica, as well as Liliana, the protagonist of “Galhaza,” the battle situation is currently fifty-fifty, but it’s clear that if things continue as they are, they will be driven into a disadvantageous position.
More than anything, Sandra’s expression is dark because I’m not there, and her movements lack vigor.
“Sniff… B-but, if Lord Hal were to be erased by That Guy’s (Placeholder) hand…”
“That’s absolutely not going to happen, so don’t worry. Or rather, if he could do that, he would have done it already, right?”
I stroked Yuri’s small back and told him with a smile to reassure him.
“But… still…”
“Oh, come on! If it looks like that’s going to happen, then Yuri can just bring me to this space like you did just now! Anyway, we won’t be able to defeat The Person Inside without Sandra and the others!”
Yuri bit his lip and looked down.
I grabbed his shoulders and pressed closer.
“Yuri!”
“…Promise me absolutely. That you won’t disappear from my sight.”
“! Ah! I promise!”
“Mm…”
Though not entirely convinced, Yuri, who had finally given in, raised both hands.
“!? Lord Hal!”
“Prince Harold!”
“Hal-san!”
“Hal!”
Everyone who was fighting King Aival saw me suddenly appear.
“We’ll talk later! Focus on defeating King Aival for now! Caz!”
“Leave it to me!”
Carrying Caz, who had transformed into the Jet-Black Shield Caspary, I stood in front of everyone.
It is my role to protect everyone.
“Fufu… fufufu…! With Lord Hal by my side, there is no one I cannot defeat! As a celebration of your return to me, let us offer King Aival’s head!”
“Young Lady, please allow this Monica to have that honor.”
Sandra’s crimson eyes gleamed brightly, and she raised the corner of her mouth.
Looking at Monica, she was wearing a smile so full it was almost too much.
“Come now, what’s wrong? At this rate, it’s only a matter of time before your head is separated from your body, you know?”
“Guu… !?”
Sandra unleashed a powerful blow with Balmung, and although he barely managed to block it with his shield, Aival’s face twisted in pain.
I don’t know about the Weapon Master skill or whatever, but if you think you can win against my (Placeholder) Sandra with that, you’re dead wrong.
“You are neglecting your rear. …Ah, so you are confident because you have this armor. Then I shall erase (Placeholder) that armor for you (Placeholder).”
“What!?”
The moment Monica touched it, the Golden Armor Kavacha vanished in an instant.
W-what was that just now…?
“…She is also a descendant of the Norse People. So it’s only natural that she can use the same abilities as us.”
“Yuri!?”
Before I knew it, Yuri was next to me.
Although his expression was somewhat dark, his Amethyst Eyes no longer had the broken look they had before, and a powerful light dwelled within them.
“You’re going to save me, right, Hal-kun? Then protect me from next to you.”
“Ah! Leave it to me!”
I nodded with a full smile at Yuri, who seemed somewhat embarrassed.
“Young Lady, now is the time.”
“Now… die.”
“!? Ga… ha… !”
Sandra’s merciless blow pierced King Aival’s torso, splitting him in two.
