Tears

Mizeya: - Demigra!?

Mizeya could hardly say anything because she covered his mouth and then took him to the back of the house.

You can barely see the woman, but at one point the light of the moon breaks her face, and you can see the clear image of her shiny skin perfectly.

Mizeya: - What are you doing here?

I said it quite loudly, but somehow I felt that you were looking for me or the princess for the sake of a rather important matter.

Demigra: - Quieter, I don't want the princess to know I'm here.

She accepted my mouth, and after a little effort, I got out of her grip.

Mizeya: - Well, that won't happen, since she caught the disease.

Demigra: - Then it will be even easier for us.

Mizeya: - Are we working?

Demigra: - As you say, let's go.

She walked past Mizeya.

Mizeya: - Where should we go anyway?

Demigra stopped and stepped in front of the boy.

Demigra: - Wait, you don't even know?

Mizeya: - What should I know?

But that can't be, Gertz also sent one of his men, Mizeya should know about the assignment. Demigra She thought to herself.

Demigra: - Didn't a man tell you about the assignment? How the plan changed.

Mizeya: - What was the man's name?

Demigra: - Hilbert.

I killed that man, with my own two hands, because he wanted to kill Aika, I couldn't let him, am I just her bodyguard or not?

Mizeya: - I have not met a man with that name.

I'm sorry I'm forced to lie to you, even though my intentions are straight and open, I'm just not sure yet with the murder solved, how would you behave? Ah, I see, I can't even trust my partner.

As I look at Demigra, she gives me a completely different impression, as if she is getting cold from me, she is preparing for something as if she is a completely different person, how can I say, as if she has wrapped herself in the mask of a calm, but cold-blooded and cruel hunter.

Demigra: - That's unfortunate, then I have to tell you.

She outlined the current situation and told everything that Naofuda and Benehart had planned, killing Aika and hiring Karola to carry out the assassination anyway.

Mizeya: - What did you say?

I froze for a while, just looking at the ground, then I wanted to look back into Demigra's eyes, but she turned and headed straight for Aika.

Demigra: - So there it is.

I grabbed her wrist.

Mizeya: - Wait.

As if I were just air to her, she pushed my hand away almost immediately and went to the princess.

Mizeya: - I said wait.

I gripped her wrist more tightly now.

Demigra: - Let me go.

Mizeya: - No.

Demigra: - Then I will be forced to resort to violence.

She grabbed my hand and pinned me to the ground.

Demigra: - Why are you protecting a dead person anyway? Your mission is over.

Gasping for air and struggling under the woman's grip, the effort is just beyond.

Mizeya: - You can't kill her.

Demigra: - Why?

Mizeya: - Because she is innocent, I will not let such a person die, I cannot let you go.

Demigra: - I don't understand you, but we will talk about this later.

Mizeya: - We will not talk about anything.

I was able to get up from the ground with a huge effort, and then a small breeze came out of my mouth.

Mizeya: - Dream weapon summon.

I ran to her with all my might, Demigra, but immediately I fell to the ground, I could barely stand on my feet, I found myself already on the ground.

Demigra: - Don't get up.

Mizeya's unrelenting efforts don't seem to be paying off, so is he forced to continue this hopeless and unfair duel or rather pain?

He rushes to the woman again, but Demigra is much faster than him, getting behind the boy's back, he receives an accurate but decisive blow between the neck and the chin.

The boy fell to the ground, whose eyes reflected all the pain he had experienced so far, which was caused by this unfair selection, why was he chosen for this role?

Coughing up blood, he tried to block Demigra's path.

Demigra: - Please finish.

"Telepathic Communication"

Faina: - If you continue like this, you will die.

The boy didn't answer anything, he just tried to stand up with his sword stuck in the ground, and leaning on it, he could only look into Demigra's eyes, not in despair, but rather proudly, but bravely.

Demigra: - So be it. Dream weapon summon.

A huge scythe appeared in Demigra's hand, which she pointed exactly in Mizeya's direction.

Both of them approached each other, but the other party's gait was already sloppy and full of fatigue.

Why am I struggling so much, why do I have to suffer, and endure this pain, it hurts so much, when will it end? Mizeya's thoughts.

Mizeya: - Ahhhwhghhhhh.

His mouth can no longer contain so much blood, so he coughed it up in front of Demigra, she was almost hoping for an easier way, but it won't be easy for her either, does she just have to kill the boy?

His voice is a little quiet now, but it's enough for fighting, he says.

Mizeya: - Hyacinth.

His sword, which had been wedged into the ground, now launched into the air, opens it towards Demigra.

The woman takes a swing with her scythe, which, although the after-effects are spiky red cuts, are visibly needle-sharp.

Demigra: - Splitting spikes.

If even one of these spikes hit me, I don't think I'll survive.

Mizeya: - Thorny Rose.

After the meeting of the two attacks, a small but quite dense fog covered the place, which also caused Sinaka to squint.

It took a few minutes for the mist to disappear, but he just stood there leaning on the boy's sword.

Demigra: - Why are you still going on? That's enough.

Mizeya: - You want to kill the princess.

What did that girl do to you anyway? I understand why you are so protective, so you choose her, not between the two of us, so be it.

Demigra: - You will not survive my next attack, do you want to continue?

The boy raised his sword with a trembling arm and could only aim it at Demigra.

Demigra: - I understood.

"Telepathic Communication"

Faina: - Brother, I know you can hear me, help this boy or my little sister will kill him.

There was no response to the request for help, maybe that was all, is Mizeya going to die?

The boy, fighting and holding on until the end, now fell to the ground, but he was still staring into Demigra's eyes.

Why are you looking at me like that, why? Please, I'm begging you, stop, don't fight me or you'll die, I don't want you to die.

Demigra: - Please, that will be enough. MIZEYAAAA.

The boy begins to crawl on the ground with the remaining strength with the help of his sword, which he already buried in the ground with his trembling and tired hand, and went forward towards Demigra.

The woman's eyes filled with tears seeing Mizeya's determination and every drop of his willpower, who suddenly crouched down on the ground waiting for the boy to come.

He grabs her leg.

Mizeya: - I caught you.

The sword the boy was holding had completely disappeared from his hand and appeared in a human form.

Faina appeared next to the boy.

Demigra: - Sister!

Mizeya doesn't ask for help at all, pushing Faina's hand away.

Faina: - What!?

Mizeya: - Not yet, I have to protect Aika.

The boy's eyes are white as if he still wants to fight, but suddenly he faints, he lost too much blood.

Demigra and Faina stop in front of each other, then Demigra crouches down in front of Mizeya and just stares at him with a teary-eyed smile.

As Sinaka got out of the other house, all he could see was an elf girl sitting on the ground patting Mizeya's blood-soaked body, which was already resting on Demigra's legs.

Sinaka: - Who are you? What happened? Mizeya!

The woman caught a glimpse of Sinaka, but she only held her index finger, which she placed in the middle of her mouth.

Demigra: - Shh.

Avoiding pissing, he just starring her, then Demigra gave the boy Mizeya's body, then Sinaka took him inside and laid the exhausted boy, who was still alive, on the bed.

Did he lose as much blood outside as I saw, how was he able to survive? Who was that girl anyway? What do you want from Mizeya? Anyway, I'll ask about it tomorrow, I'd rather go to sleep.

Is it morning yet? I check Mizeya's room, I think he is still sleeping.

Sinaka: - Mizeya.

To the boy's surprise, he didn't find it there, where can you be Mizeya? He goes over to the other house and then meets the man who put them up.

Belmod: - Good morning young man, I think you are looking for your partner, but don't worry, he is having breakfast next to Aika.

Sinaka: - Do you have breakfast with Aika? Has Aika woken up yet? WHAT?

He ran to the princess and Mizeya, then he sees them sitting at the table staring at Sinaka strangely.

The boy's eyes began to water.

Mizeya: - What happened to you?

Aika: - Is this boy still with us?

Sinaka: - MY LOVE.

He would have jumped close to Aika, but with an unexpected and precise kick, she kicks the young adventurer in the face.

Mizeya: - And it starts all over again.

Belmod: - What's the big deal here, but Miss Aika is amazing anyway, there are still miracles.

Mizeya: - To heal in 1 day, aren't you a witch?

Aika: - You're not tough enough for a bodyguard.

Mizeya: - I am no longer just your bodyguard, but also your rescuer.

Aika: - Finish it before I kick you too.

Belmod: - Hahaha, how good it is to be young.

Mizeya: - Sorry for being rude, but you don't look old.

Belmod: - You say something.

Having interrupted the pleasant conversation, it is time to return to the subject.

Mizeya: - I'm sorry to say this, but today we go on.

Belmod: - Don't be sorry, basically you stayed here because of the young lady, but now that she's healed thanks to the miracle, there's no point in staying here anymore, I know.

Mizeya: Thank you.
