Ray, who had broken up with Arra and was running towards her direction.
　Weight aside, I kept my death size in a misty ring and ran straight through the meadow.
　I was aiming for the place where Arra saw the point of the flagellated connected sword, but there was no way I could hear the detailed position in that situation, and Arra could not remember the exact position, as she could see for a moment in the battle against the demons.
　In the meantime, Ray was still heading to Elena's place, but suddenly found a familiar presence in his vision and stopped.
　That existence must have also found Ray. It swooped straight down to Ray and into his chest.

"Squeak, squeak!"

　a yello who cries as if to appeal to something
　However, Yero and Ray, who were created by dragon language magic, could not communicate with each other, let alone.
　Still, seeing the desperate call, Ray calls out to Yero, as it is clear that the situation.

"About Elena?"
"Squeak!"

　Yero nods without hesitation to Ray's question and turns his head to the direction he flew to.

"Well, is there Elena there?" If so, please show me around."

　mutter, take the death-size out of the mistling again.
　As long as there is a certain battle ahead, weapons will certainly be needed, even if they are in the way of running.

(and even more so if he were to be called like Elena)

　In your hand, rotate the death-size handle and release the yellow into the sky.

"Yero, if you're moving with me, you might suddenly get involved in a battle, so please let me know."
"Squeak!"

　She sings briefly at Ray's word and flaps her wings through the sky.
　Watching the situation, Ray also follows.

Do you have a different name? I don't know how powerful he is, but if he and Elena play together, they won't lose.)

　mutter inwardly and kick the earth again
　Ray didn't know that he was nicknamed crimson because of the fire whirlwind and the subsequent use of Death Size in the vanguard of the Imperial Army.





"There!"

　Follow a yellow flying in the air for about five minutes. With trees growing just around the grassland 20 meters square, Ray's hearing catches the sound of metal coming from what can be called a naturally completed arena.
　and a sword stretched like a whip through a gap in the trees. It definitely belongs to Elena's magic item, a connecting sword.
　Lei, who slipped into the gap between the trees, saw Elena and a man facing each other in a distant position on a military horse.

(He's called a flash of light...)

　They must have noticed Ray entering their battlefield. The two confronted on the spot also turn their eyes to Ray.

"Ray!"
"...again, unexpected,"

　It was the two of us who looked astonished. However, while Elena's face is a joyful surprise, Theoreum's floating amazement quickly turns into something like a bitterness.
　Ray takes a step at a time with his death size, looking at these two contrasting people.

"...Have you kept me waiting?"
"Well, in this case, did you say that we had just come?"

　We check each other's appearance and talk lightly.
　However, even though we have conversations like that, we haven't taken our eyes off the theater at all.
　It was because Elena, who had been fighting against Theoreum so far, and Ray, who saw her for the first time here, feared that she would never know what would happen if she took her eyes off Theoreum.
　But Elena, who understands that it is still themselves who have the advantage, opens her mouth to Theorem again, magically penetrating the connecting sword.

"I was struggling against myself. If Ray joins us, we'll see no chance of winning, won't we? What do you think? You't you surrender? so that I could guarantee my life."

　Theoreum shakes her head silently at Elena's words.

"I certainly won't be able to beat both of you. But, as you may have forgotten, my lieutenant still leads the Mystery -- wait."

　Theorame, who was about to say something, suddenly turned his gaze to Ray.

"Ray, and so on." I think you were accompanied by a Gryphon, but may I ask you where you are?"
"You can almost guess from the way he talks, sir, that he's on guard here."

　Elena, listening to Ray's words, breathes a sigh of relief.
　He understood that the demons were superior in the sense of purely fighting power in this battlefield. But if Sett, the Gryphon, had entered the war, he would have no fear of being killed first.
　Contrary to such Elena, Theoreum frowns slightly. That's the only expression on his face that he's moved, and it should be said that he didn't show any signs of agitation.

"…I see. Then I can understand your confidence. Surely a monster as high as a Gryphon could defend against demagogues and Sears. Now, why don't we make a deal here?"
"A deal?"

　Rey asks back unexpectedly.
　Theoreum nods at Ray's appearance with a faint smile.

"Yes, fighting you here will only add to our futility. If it weren't for you, it wouldn't be time to step back, but unfortunately, here you are. And there's the Gryphon. Don't you think it's foolish to waste your time here and waste your time on each other's arms?"

　a light‐lipped Theoreum a surprise operation carried out on the Mystery, a secret weapon of the Vestian army, and even on a large quantity of very expensive metastases. It was a painful choice even for Theoreum to talk about withdrawing while preparing enough military force to decide the outcome of this war. But if you spend your time poorly here, you're wasting your energy, as I just said. The demagogues cost a fair amount of money to produce, so it was only a foolish idea to consume them here. His determination to make an instantaneous choice without making a mistake in leaving is also a testament to the general's nickname of flashlight.
　But, of course, Ray and Elena don't have to consider Theoreum's circumstances.

"Why do we have to allow each other to withdraw their swords here? As you can see, there are two of us here and one of us. It is not difficult to kill you or to catch you under the present circumstances."

　Ray returns to Theoreum, approaching Elena step by step.
　Maybe Elena agrees with Ray, but she's keeping an eye on him to make sure he doesn't make any strange moves.
　Theoreum, who was looked at by two people, spoke with a faint smile, even though he knew he was in desperate danger.

"It is true that I was struggling with a princess general. You two will have no chance of winning against each other. But don't you forget that I'm the commander of the Mystery? As a result of treatment to become a demon soldier by humans, some people's ethics and intelligence deteriorate drastically, and some measures are taken to prevent other countries from taking away the secrets of the demon soldier, which is the trump card for our army. --however, this was conceived in haste because a demon soldier was captured in the town of Gilm."

　thanks to you Ray could see what Theoreum meant by looking at Ray without words.

"...what did you set up?"
"Well, what do you think it is? Or maybe it's nothing, maybe it's something fatal. Of course it's you who decide it, not me. But... I suggest you never regret your choice. It would be ungrateful of you to imitate the death of Count Alius, with all the demons, just as he had killed me."It's Bluff. Ray is reflexively so. However, there is no evidence whatsoever, and the basis is only my intuition. And there is Seto near the Earl of Arius. Or, although it has not been long since they first met, there is an incredibly friendly and sociable figure for a nobleman.
　I couldn't interfere with Theoreum in this situation unless I had certain evidence to say it was false. To make matters worse, Ray and Elena see with their eyes a giant mantis monster that must have been created by an alchemist in the Bestian Empire and vanishes without evidence when they are knocked down. Seeing it with my own eyes, I can't judge Theoreum's words as jest.

"What are you going to do? I think his words are a painstaking lie, but there is no guarantee. If you're not good at it...

　Elena frowns slightly at Ray's words.
　Elena's intuition also holds Theoreum's words false. But I couldn't make a careless decision unless I could prove it for the same reason as Ray.
　It's like 30 seconds to worry about that. That time gives the team a decisive time.

"... Are you all right, Theoreum?"

　What appeared with the words was a wizard with a spider on his lower body and a robe on his upper body. Gilgos is one of the most trusted veterans in the world.

"Oh, I beg your pardon," "By the way, I beg your pardon for coming, but can you manage them, especially one with a huge sickle?"
"It's impossible,"

　Gilgos returns an answer to Theoreme soon.

"Given that enormous magical power, I think that if we could fight by magic, we would certainly be able to overcome it."

　Nevertheless, Gilgos himself doesn't look upset at all.
　In the past, considering that most of them had fallen into a state of depression or confusion when they could sense their magical powers, the attitude was enough to understand how foreign Gilgos was.

"Well, I suppose that the fact that Gilgos has come this far, but he hasn't meddled in it, is a good deal?"
"…it can't be helped." Go away."

　Ray turns his eyes to Elena at the words.
　He shakes his head in despair at Ray.

"Well, then, we'll pull it up with this. Gilgos, give me a signal."
"Yes!"

　Gilgos casts the magic of fire with his cane upward in Theoreum's words. Perhaps it's like a signal bullet to announce the withdrawal, a circular flame burns up in the air and disappears. Seeing it off, Theoreum returns the horse he was riding.
　And Gilgos follows the Teoreme and leaves the Reyes.
　Before that, Ray had a strong impression that he had looked back once and looked at himself intently.

(Most of the other demagogues look like human beings with the elements of monsters, but that guy, Gilgos, has a distinct distinction between human and monster parts. Perhaps a different measure was taken than that of the conventional Mystery, but... if you think of the root of the evil, you might have been able to defeat him here.)

"...what are you going to do now?"

　Ray sees Theoreum off and calls out to Elena next to him.

"Well, it depends on the decision above. I don't think the battle will end like this."
"Can't you stand it just by stopping the invasion of the Vestian army?"
"Because we were attacked by a surprise attack on the headquarters, and the royalists suffered a great deal of course. And the general is Count Arius of the royal faction. Moreover, the Vestian Imperial Army's vanguard forces have been devastated by Ray's flaming tornado and the resulting attack."
"Do you want to erase the misconduct of a face who was killed in a surprise attack by attacking an enemy whose military power was reduced?"
"Perhaps. Let's go down to the Earl of Arius once, anyway. Whatever judgment we make, there is no point in what we say here."

　mutter, stretch out one's hand to Ray on the horse.
　Ray glances at his hand for a moment, but finds Elena's cheeks pale and red, and Ray also holds his hand slightly shyly and straddles the horse.

"Usually, men and women are in opposite positions."

　A shy mumbling of Ray's voice vanished into the scene where Elena and Theorem had been fighting fiercely until some time ago.
　Fortunately, only the yellow flying above heard it.
