Armed Summoners - Black Spears and the Brave Men of the Other World

"Hi, that's crazy"

"What is it?

Setsuna asked with a low voice to keep her eyes shining on the dishes arranged on the table in front of her, but to keep pace with Laxus, who looked out the window with a strange look.

They were in a small restaurant on the corner of the Worram. They chose this store because it is off the boulevard that runs through the center of Warham, a large city surrounded by walls, is not very noticeable from the surroundings and there are not so many people's streets.

They got to the Worm about two hours ago. He completed a brief luggage inspection by the vigilante at the castle gate, first aiming for the inn. It was also to wash off the blood on Setuna's entire body, and to repair the front of the carriage.

While Setsuna was washing away the blood that crept all over her body in the inn's bath, Laxus was running around the city collecting information from Lancaine, who was repairing the carriage for both of you.

"I don't get any information about Logner in my ear. I was hoping that Warham, close to Logner, would get some information."

Setuna held her belly down as she stared at the side of a knight who could not hide her dismay. I was so hungry, my stomach was about to ring. When my belly rang in this situation, the air must smash everything, and that's all I wanted to avoid at all costs.

Besides, there's a line of prepared dishes right in front of you. Sautéed chicken in a salad of color-removing vegetables, bread plumply cooked in corn soup that brings up fragrant hot air - Setsuna wouldn't have had to sparkle her eyes either.

There were several tables lined up neatly in the never large stores of the small restaurants, but there were no guests except the setunas lined up at the windows. The people crossing the street out the window, maybe just around the time they finished their lunch break. The store was idle enough to have to make that decision.

The idea that this store was simply not fashionable did not arise in Setuna's head.

"What's wrong with that?

"Are you an idiot?

It was Lancaine that immediately sandwiched my mouth. He was sitting in a chair opposite Setuna across the table with the Setuna and his eyes, with the madness of looking to Setuna, seemed to float, even with a thin smile.

"You should get a little more information about your destination, right? I don't know what it is. It is only natural to collect and scrutinize such items before leaving the King's Capital."

"Gu -!"

Setuna, against Lancaine's cold smile, reflexively angry, but managed to indulge by squeezing her fist. Not if you're blasting your emotions with this. This is Worram. It's just a city in Azark, and it hasn't even reached its destination. No matter how many opponents are Lancaine-Bunell, don't forget me.

(Calm down. Calm down......)

While I told myself in my chest, Setuna's expression was on the other hand getting harsher. Change enough to know without looking in the mirror. But I can't stop it. There are only worse feelings than the original. Just because we're going to act together for a while, there's no way we could have gotten along with each other saying yes.

That said, I'm not even ready to just get slashed by Lancaine on this occasion. No, I don't know if I can call that readiness.

He bit his teeth. I'm not sure, but I assure you.

(I'm not ready for that...!

Lancaine-Bunell, though an unforgivable great sinner, is a companion to his master, Leongando Ray-Gandia, who must act together until he completes his assignment at Logner. No matter how much he hated it or refused it, he couldn't just overturn the fact.

There is no option to dislike accompanying Lancaine and get off the mission.

That meant Setuna would lose her scaffold.

"You're absolutely right. In fact, I tried to gather as much information as I could by the time I left King's Capital, but the only thing I found out was that Logner was tightening border guards. The situation in Logner has not been grasped at all. That's why I stopped by."

Does that mean you didn't have to stop in this city if only you had grasped Logner's insides? In that case, was it supposed to cross the border bloody, etc., Setuna was foolish enough to think. but that's over too.

Lancaine laughed.

"Kuku. Really crap. Stupid. I can't save you. Is he still a liar? It is not a sane shack, such as plainly sending promising talent into enemy lands where we do not know what is happening. It would be more painful for the country if you lost your lives."

I wasn't stirred up by the madness that dwelled on his sleaze. but Setuna, was embarking herself on the table.

"Oh dear...!

It must have been the hostility itself that spat it out. It was anger at being insulted Leongand and frustration with the existence of Lancaine. It may have been an outrage upon itself, which cannot be argued with reason. And a heart-burning passion that becomes a swirling flame whispers to him.

Do it.

"It's true, isn't it? Or is there something wrong with my perception? If there is, I want you to tell me."

Lancaine, let's go. Chill out.

The world rocks. I heard a noise. Footsteps that I didn't know belonged to anyone sneaking from behind were sounding comfortably in Setuna's ears. It was a sweet melody. From the time the footsteps rocked his eardrum, his consciousness saw the man in front of him as an enemy to be killed. Again, I heard whispers.

Take the spear. So there will be no enemies before you...

"Niewe."

――

Setuna returned to me with the kind of shock struck by the thunder. I feel my vision has gotten strangely wide. Sitting face to face is Lancaine, who was to accompany him abominably. That hasn't changed anything since I came to the store. It shouldn't have changed, but he was, like, strangely uncomfortable. I wonder what you were trying to do until you got yourself on the table.

Without understanding, Setuna lowered her back to her seat. The unexpected look on Lancaine's face is very disturbing, but it's not enough to eat and hang.

What bothers me is who I am. What the hell did you think you got yourself into? Even if Lancaine's bullshit stirred me up, I couldn't figure out what I didn't remember.

Calm down.

Setsuna felt somewhat annoyed at herself for not understanding one thing about the intentions of the Laxus dialogue. I wonder what you said to calm down. Though I should be calm enough.

He looked back from the time he got to this table until now, but he couldn't even remember what interaction there was with Lancaine. Only that part seemed to be wrapped in pale darkness.

"Cain. Your thoughts make sense, too. But can't you think of something like this? That you chose us because you decided that we were the only ones who could be us. Then we have no choice but to do everything in our power to meet his expectations.

The conclusions drawn by Laxus were a nod to Setuna as well. As he said, the only way to meet Leongand's expectations is through the whole body. My orders have already been given. The situation has moved. It is also very strange to say this about the content of the mandate.

(It's also true that I didn't have time to think...)

It is a task which was given to you shortly after you entered into the covenant of your princes. Had I not had time to think about the content, I had neither yes nor no. I'm a new student. There can't be a veto or anything. There was no other option but to accept the orders and carry out the mission. I'm not saying that's bad.

It makes sense.

On the other hand, past Setuna's head is a story of possibility. What would have happened if Setuna had refused to submit to Leongand at that time? Has Setuna's future been closed? Were they obliterated as being of different worlds, or were they even closed somewhere until they obeyed?

And was this assignment supposed to hit just the two of Laxus and Lancaine? In that case, he thought it might be a lot easier on the road without Setsuna, even if the power was reduced. Your foolish behavior may be a source of headaches for Laxus.

Though I can't peek at those things at all from the look on Laxus's face.

"Congratulations. But it makes sense. Surely, should we see that there were no suitable personnel other than us? I hear that country is full of weak soldiers. I guess there's nothing a general can count on. Otherwise, I'm not thinking about using something like me."

"You wouldn't hurt if you died."

Laxus stabbed a nail at a man laughing coldly. Again, I saw no slight emotional changes in that voice or in that voice. Flat temperature itself.

Setuna saw how flat he was and thought of the weakness of his own will.

"Kuku. Right. Exactly. If I were you, I'd throw it away whenever I wanted."

Shaking in Lancaine's eyes, laughing delightfully from the bottom of his heart, was unsaveable madness, and Setuna, who looked into his eyes, never felt like a peek into the abyss of darkness. I couldn't have found a light or anything. What kind of half-life does that mean that such darkness occurs in your eyes? It must have been a harsher life than I could ever imagine for Setsuna. To the point that you can't keep it sane.

No, maybe madness is his normal, and in that case, does it mean that the sane Setunas are crazier?

"But not you or him. You can't just throw away a pawn and die with me. Wouldn't you? Niewe-Diabras"

When Lancaine asked me to agree, Setsuna couldn't respond immediately. That's not what the rebellion against him made me do. Setuna and I weren't even stupid enough to disagree with every single word. It took a few seconds to remember that the word a man said was a name pointing to himself.

It is a pseudonym.

The heterogeneous name on this continent, Setuna-Kamiya, had been known only a little. Especially since he said he must be famous for his logner about going undercover.

as an enemy to be hated.

It was too active in the Battle of the Balsar Plains. Sure, his swift battle of lions had made Gandhian victory decisive, but at the same time, he had become the most alarming position in the Gandhian army. I wonder how many soldiers you killed. Countless lives of people were consumed by the spitting fierce fire of black spears and vanished into ashes, mutilated into countless trajectories, or pierced and scattered.

Hated and deserved it.

And his name was Leongando, and it was a hustle and bustle. Triumph Day, while Setuna is unconscious.

It's annoying, I don't think. It would be a pleasure. The king recognized his work and praised him toward his people. For him, I couldn't be happier. They admitted it. That's all I'm good for.

But the problem remained.

for names on assignment,.

It was Setuna's claim that it was okay to consider a pseudonym so as not to interfere with the mission, but it was rejected abruptly by the fierce rebellion of Falia, who was there on the spot.

"You'd better make it a little more elaborate anyway."

"Why?"

"That would be more interesting."

Setuna had no words to give back to her, who had answered in such a way as to be absolutely natural. I didn't hate that kind of playfulness of hers, and more importantly, I loved this time playing with her. Regardless, there was Laxus on the spot, and there was Ruufa's appearance. Though I was playing, I wasn't giving up the place.

"Well, make sure you're convinced."

It shouldn't have hurt anything that Laxus left in front of the Setunas saying that. He was busy at work. Early on his return to the King's capital, he ordered a new assignment. I had to rush around to report on my previous assignment and prepare for my next.

Compared to that, Setsuna thinks it's easy, like other HR. It absorbs knowledge by staring at maps of Gandia and Logner and sometimes conversing with Faria in this way. That's all. I didn't have to do anything special.

Thinking of a pseudonym is no big deal.

"So do you have any ideas?

"No."

"What about Ruufa?

"Huh? Me too?

Suddenly, Ruufa seemed surprised. I guess I didn't even see myself in the circle of stories. but faria doesn't condone it.

"It's not natural"

"Yep."

"Why do you look like that?

"Yes, no, it doesn't mean anything deep... Hmm, right...... Settino-Carmia or something"

"Too appropriate!

"I don't like it, it"

Setuna and Faria expressed a verbal rejection of Ruufa, who had spoken an obviously apt name. The pursuit of Faria, in particular, was terrible.

Don't tell me you're ready for a meeting.

"Terrible, terrible..."

Ruufa just seemed stunned when he was overwhelmed by the name he managed to twist out of Falia's pressure. I can't forbid sympathy. but it was Setuna who doesn't even think of fine dust as an attempt to accept his proposal.

"How's Setuna?

"So, no."

"Whatever."

"Whatever it is, it's appropriate."

Setuna said to Faria with a sigh. Then she returns angrily.

"That's where you stick!

"Why?

"I really am!

"If that's what you're going to say, Faria should think about it, right? I'm not going to come up with a good name."

"Oh, okay?

Setsuna couldn't help but sneer at her when she smiled softly.

"So, can you tell me what your name means?

"Meaning of the name......?

Setuna stared into Faria's eyes, who had asked in a changed way. That would not be the case, such as being asked what the name means. Kamiya Sana. He himself thought it was a big family name from an early age. arrow of God, is I used to be interested in where you were from, but when you could lose that too, didn't you just aptly put kanji on the sound of camilla? It is something my grandfather could not forbid to be discouraged by his words. Actually, maybe that's about it.

Although, appropriately, it was an unusual literature.

And for a moment.

The name my father and mother thought of for me. An important name that defines self.

"Take care of every moment, huh? Not a nice name."

"Yeah. I like it"

"Yeah, that's good."

Though I thought the gentle smile full of Faria's mercy was too dazzling for Setuna to look directly at, I realized the fact that it was rather more difficult to divert attention. I wanted to stare for a while now. Nevertheless, time never stops.

Faria turned off her smile, but her expression while she was conceiving was never unattractive either.

"Right...... what about Niewe-Diablos?

Whatever her derived answer was, I was going to accept it as Setuna, but the sound of that sound spun by Faria's voice was unexpectedly firm for him. Twinkle, like a rumble.

"Niewe-Diabras......"

"In ancient languages, Niewe means for a moment, Dia means God, and Brass means arrows. You deserve a name more than this for an armed summoner, don't you?

Her satisfied expression was irresistible, and as I had thought earlier, Setuna had decided to accept Faria's proposed name.

Though it was decided by Niewe-Diabras, it was also natural that before I got used to hearing it, I couldn't react instantly if Laxas or Lancaine called me that name -.

"You can't be a dumped pawn."

Lancaine's voice brought Setuna back to reality. I quietly affirm, staring back at my maddening eyes.

"Naturally."

I'm not here to die. To live, I'm here. To live and carry out the mission. Whether that is a very difficult task, it must be accomplished and returned to the king's capital.

The phantom of one woman passed behind Setuna's brain. You can't even see him. She was out of his sight at that time.

"Tomorrow at last. Aren't you nervous and sleepless?

"That's not true."

To Faria-Belfaria's teasing mouthfeel, Setuna said back, a little angry. Of course, I'm not serious or anything. Setuna knew that her words often included kindness and mercy.

"Oh well."

It was the middle of the night. Setsuna had been allowed to use the rooms of the Balghazar Mansion as her own. It's a big room. They only put important guests to sleep, and all the conditioning items seemed fancy.

Spending time surrounded by that luxury product was nothing but cramped for Setsuna, but she is not in a position to complain.

In the darkness, the wind rocked the curtain at night as it entered through an open window. To the clap, the moonlight dyed his vision white, but it was only between the bundles, too. It didn't take long for the pale darkness to cover his world again. The magic crystal light is not on.

Faria, naturally, was outside the room. The voice from the other side of the closed door, as well, the silence of the night, had delivered it properly to Setuna's ears.

"... hey Setuna"

"Hmm...?

"There's only one thing I need you to promise me."

To her tone of seriousness not long ago, Setsuna was upbeat. A pale moonlight dyed his vision white once again. It is also still a momentary event. Curtains block the moonlight and cover everything in this world with thin darkness.

Setuna inquired toward Faria across the door.

"Promise?"

A small voice floats a slight ripple in the world held by the tranquility of the night. Only a few moments until it got to her ear - no, just a few moments before she threw the answer back, for some reason, it felt so long to him. In fact, it must not have taken a few seconds. But that's what Setuna felt.

Maybe it was a fantasy of night darkness and silence weaving together.

"Yes, promise. Be sure to come back to Wangdu (here). I want to know more about you, but I don't want to say goodbye here, do I?

To her resolute voice, Setuna felt like she had found a vibrant light with surprise. That was just a reaffirmation of the fact that there was one person who worried about me, but for Setsuna right now, that was enough to make me think I could do many times more.

"I promise! I'll definitely be back. 'Cause I don't know anything about Faria either."

Saying, he was stunned by the fact. but naturally. I didn't even try to find out about Faria. I said I knew him right after he summoned me to this world. She said she helped me more than once.

Regret was born.

And at the same time, I strongly wanted to know about Faria -.

"I'm not dying. Will you die?"

Setuna got her hands on the dish in front of her when she told her to throw it away. Even though he was exposed to Lancaine's surprisingly frightening, and even more curious, gaze, that no longer mattered.

I came up with a promise.

Setuna was thinking about Faria as she listened to the conversation between Laxus and Lancaine.
