『It’s just as Fate thought. Dark matter is a very unstable substance in this world. Its form cannot be maintained for long, and it’ll disappear soon afterward. It’s exactly the high pressure energy that was emanated earlier.』
[Then, did it use that spirit unity on that previous attack as well, I wonder]
『Well, it’s hard to tell……whether that crown monster really used it or not.』
[Rafal, that guy who took over his body. He said that he’d grant Rafal’s wish.]
[This is as far as I can go. I will only drag you down if I keep fighting in this state. Fate, leave Mimir here.]
[Yes, I’ll leave her to you]
I passed Mimir to Aaron. As he gently took over carrying the girl from me, I briefly told him.
[The girl, she lost too much blood. Let her rest.]
[Understood. However, depending on the situation, it might be unwise to bring her to the mansion. We need to evacuate as many citizen as possible, taking shelter in the goblin forest. And then, if that thing really is that dangerous……then perhaps even further than that.]
[I’ve kept you waiting, Fate. But, I came just in time, didn’t I?]
[You took too long. That, if we can’t handle that thing, the kingdom is over, Eris!]
Right then, the white knights pointed their spear at me. But why!?
[How rude, do you know who you are speaking to !!]
[Eris, right?]
[This, rude man!]
[Well, we’ll leave it for later. So this is what you’ve been trying to report. Isn’t it, Aaron Barbatos?]
Aaron was the one most surprised at Eris’ appearance. He seemed to regained his wit quickly though, before with a relieved face, kneeled on the spot. Why did he do something like that in the middle of battle just because of Eris!?
Also, the black colored weapon that Eris brought with her, the memories behind it was enough to send chill down my spine.
[Why, isn’t that the black bayonet Envy!]
[Why, it’s my mortal sin weapon. Back then, we quarrelled due to a misunderstanding, but we made up to each other after the event at Gallia. It merely returned to its original sheath.]
[I often told Envy this. But all of this, is mainly caused by his tyranny. Originally I wanted to apologize by breaking this black bayonet, but it’s indestructible. At the very least, I want to compensate you in the future. It was also my fault for ignoring what Envy had done all these years.]
Eris who was supposed to arrive at the Kingdom earlier than us was actually lagging behind, it was all to reconcile with Envy. We entered the Kingdom first because she went out to retrieve Envy back from Gallia first.
Speaking of which, when I was officially hailed as the heir of Barbatos family, I wonder which one of them we actually met.
[Envy was stubborn. Being defeated by you back at Gallia was somewhat a very shocking event for him.]
[Right…..what did he say again?]
[Let’s just do this already. I’m the loser here after all.]
With a laugh, Eris unseathe Envy from its gaudy scabbard. Apparently, it seemed to really hate me.
[Let’s keep the long talk for later. You people help evacuate the citizens! The opponent has power surpassing that of the Tenryu. It’ll be a bad joke if the capital is laid to waste by that thing]
[ [ Affirmative!] ]
[Fate, I’ll see you again later.]
[Yeah, take care Mimir.]
[Alright]
I saw them going, then turned my sight back.
[It’s about time it’ll start moving. Are you going too, Eris?]
[It’s been a while since my last real battle, but I will do my best. You may already know this, but I’m more of a support role. I’ll leave the frontline to you.]
