Chapter 206: Counterattack (2)

You continue shining. Family, quality, real ability, because suitable for shining as the sun together.

Shelter and warm the weak, burn evil to ashes.

At the sense of justice that can also be called self-righteous Knight twisted the mouth corner suffering.

Because angry at the voice ringing from inside? There is also that.

But to the same degree. Because the past herself was also thinking the same thing. Because the feeling she once took pride in is returning like a boomerang and gouging her own body.

"...The reason the holy spirit of thunder long did not choose a contractor, and the reason joined Alter now, I understand a little."

She does not know what kind of thinking the other holy spirits are doing.

But this is no good.

Is this kind of thing justice, is this kind of thing light.

Better destroy everything and redo from scratch. She understood well the feeling of thinking so.

Therefore the holy spirit of thunder chose Alter. Because desired an existence not dyed in Calmate’s order, an existence that does not hesitate vicious means for the thing it aims.

"But as a result many people will get hurt. If comrades and people who should be protected are there I cannot sympathize with that."

Yes, only understands the feeling. Knight was also holding anger at the holy spirit of thunder.

Both flames and thunder are too extreme.

’This is correct, therefore do not hesitate.’

She thinks both not that everything is wrong, but if excess naturally becomes poison.

Ah. Like a machine of this world. She feels a coldness like an inflexible system.

"...Saying grand things."

Lightning rings.

Parrying Knuckle’s blow, while obstructing the shooting from above with thunder Alter sneers.

"What can you do? A sheltered who was excellent only in a closed garden."

"No, not even one plan comes to mind!"

While locking swords with the princess she puffs the chest and declares grandly.

Sheltered. Ah, that is probably so.

Knight was able to do well as a commander only in Calmate. Only in the world of light.

The opponent fighting was beasts of darkness. Existences not using stratagem, and the opponents competing on the desk were the same light. Because the other party was also fighting fair and square the same the match was decided by whether able to memorize the existing way.

Unable to win against Alter is also natural, now she thinks so.

Because Knight was unable to notice that current state, and unable to think of new tactics.

Probably even if good at memorizing hard, unskilled at producing something new from there she thinks.

"But. Yes, I am not alone."

She thinks of the boy.

While feeling incompetence at not having power, even so he who searched for what he can and advanced. And now the man named Niekawa who reached standing in this place holding a sword that harbors something blasphemous.

(...Yes, let’s acknowledge. I am a foolish, emotional, narrow-vision little girl.)

But that does not become a reason to stop.

Rather than regretting what she cannot, should do what she can.

As a result of that he is here now she thinks. The result of piling what he can, continuing to walk while suffering at powerlessness, obtained the Colvaz chance.

She recalls his figure who jumped into the flames that day.

Now is the time to chase his courage and the back that continued advancing without being crushed by the sense of powerlessness.

"Ufufu. What you are intending to do I do not understand!"

The princess releases the limiter. Unable to resist that arm strength strengthened by holy flames Knight is pushed out by force.

"Either way ends here. I will end!"

Holy sword, release.

Aurora that destroys evil overflows from the blade and closes on Knight as a long slash.

"Narrow vision is the same as me, Princess."

In that instant one arrow stood on the princess’s feet.

Missed? No. As assumed.

Powerfully stepping in, the feet of the princess who was just about to swing the sword down rose vigorously.

"...!?"

While adjusting the collapsed posture the princess looked at Knight. Far behind that, the girl readying the bow while held by Adre.

"Shi, able to be believed is, a, grateful, but!"

Properly did. While floating that kind of relief on the face Arrow shouts toward Knight.

"That! Moving recklessly! Despite that! Properly support! That... troubled!"

"No problem! I believed you, and even if failing by chance I will hard endure so there is next! At that time do not get discouraged and make use of next!"

That said she thinks that worry is none.

She is certainly weak, but not that incompetent because of that.

A girl who despite inferior raw power took one from Knight and them many times. Even if Knight fought other Sacred under the same conditions as Arrow whether able to fight properly is also suspicious.

Her vision is wide.

In fact while performing this side’s assistance not removing consciousness from Alter’s side, continuing to assist Knuckle and them.

If there is a problem the lack of confidence.

The self-recognition that she is weak, lower rank than everyone.

But that she is the lowest value Sacred of all generations is an unshaken fact, and cannot deny there.

(Then better steal the time to think. A child who thinks too much this and that.)

Make concentrate consciousness on the battlefield to a degree no time to think this and that.

Yes, if thinking other things Knight might lose. Make herself a hostage and move her.

"Eh, cho, wait. Hey Knight, somehow from just now the head got a little bad...!?"

"Ohohoho! Yes, better emptying the head this much extra. Eh, su, a little!?"

...Rather, seriously, intending to fight abandoning calm thinking, but a little?

What is it, what kind of human is Sacred Knight seen from Arrow. A little. No, quite anxious.

"Nee-sa. Knight! That... I know you are working hard, un!"

"The follow is not clumsy!?"

What to do, a little tears came out.

Thought that way by the two younger? Rather seriously hurt.

"Ufufu. Leeway, Knight. In front of me...!"

"Yes, natural."

Toward the princess wrapping light and swinging the sword Knight smiles.

Yes, having leeway is natural.

"Because I have reliable comrades. Princess, defeating you and pulling back to light is nothing!"

Puffing the chest she laughs.

As if burning to ashes her own anxiety and everyone’s anxiety too.

◇

"Sacred Arrow! Sorry but I go forward, rely support!"

"Eh? ...Haa!? Cho, wait, sane!? Or rather durability is an ordinary human so unreasonable. Listen to the words of acknowledgment then run!"

Sorry, while putting in the mouth Niekawa ran out.

While wrapping black flames on the blade so as to immediately release Colvaz’s flames he charges straight toward Alter.

Because the other party is good at long-range attack run zigzag and divert the aim. He also thought, but immediately abandoned.
