I don't feel any pain.
　However, it was unusually hot over his left shoulder.
　Apparently, the dagger was stuck pretty deep in there.

　Something important was leaking out of my body, and I knew it.
　If I didn't recover, I would die in the not-too-distant future.
　I can feel that time is decreasing with every passing second.

"Fi──i

　Looking at me like that, Fenrir was laughing.
　As if to mock my impending death.
　And the two ogres lined up as if to follow Fenrir's lead, but they don't seem to be trying to chase me down.

　...... What I saw in Fenrir's eyes as he stared at me was a spine-chilling malice.

　It is a dense malice that cannot be compared to even the mutated hydra we fought before.
　The malice pouring out from the overwhelming enemy even made him feel as if his heart had frozen.
　It was easy for me to imagine what Fenrir was thinking right now.

　How to torture him to death, that's what he's thinking.

　At that moment, I was convinced that my bet was successful in the best way.

"Haha!

　I laugh, blood pouring from my mouth.
　I still feel strong malice, and it's not that I don't have fear.
　But it was even stranger than that, and I couldn't help it.
　As if in answer to my wish, Fenrir and the others are exposing a critical gap.

　The ogres finally noticed the abnormality in my condition, but at that time I had already begun to move.

　I'm not going to be able to get the best out of it.
　The dagger pierced even deeper because of the forced movement of my body, and I could see that the wound was getting worse.

　Even so, I still managed to grab the faces of the two ogres.

''Huh!''

My baby!

　Perhaps sensing a bad premonition, each ogre throws away his or her weapon and tries to shake off my hand.
　However, they can't shake off my arm, which has been strengthened by abandoning my body.

　I suddenly see my dagger on the ground a little further away.
　When the dagger was popped, I honestly thought that my bet had failed.
　With his injured body, he didn't know if he would be able to move agilely.
　If you lose your weapon in such a situation, you may not be able to defeat even one ogre safely.

　...... almost lost the point of deciding to attack with abandon.

Thank you.

　That's why I'm grateful for Fenrir's malice.
　Because he tried to torture me, Fenrir exposed a critical gap.
　Thanks to that, I was able to successfully contain the two ogres.

　Fenrir was staring at me, stunned as I forcefully contained the ogres with one hand.
　That attitude, which I had never seen before, was the most eloquent testament to Fenrir's astonishment.

　I'm sure Fenrir had not the slightest idea that I could still move.
　The dagger that stabbed into my body was clearly a fatal wound.
　I'm not going to be in a position to move, no matter how powerful the skill is.

　I'm not going to be able to get a good deal more than just a few minutes of your time.

　Under the extreme limit, the words of the person who taught me this discarded attack suddenly flashed through my mind.

　''If you can't attack with your body strengthened, then create an opening that you can. What, it's simple. You don't have to avoid their attacks, you just have to receive them. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. Especially if you're dealing with a hexenbiest.

　I thought he was the kind of person who would force me to do all kinds of crazy things.
　But if it wasn't for what she taught me, I wouldn't be the person I am today.

"How can you expect to be attacked by a monster and get away with it?　Oh, don't worry about that. Anyway, ............

　While putting strength into my hand that grasps the ogre, I tell the demonic beasts that look at me in astonishment the words that were told to me by that man.

I'm sorry, but I won't die like this. At any rate, our bodies are unnecessarily robust.

　The moment I tell them that, the ogres' resistance eases for just a moment.
　Awe or fear of me?
　I don't know what emotions the ogres felt at that moment.

　Without even thinking about it, I slam the ogres' heads into the ground with all my might.

　With a sound of dull bones cracking, the ogre's head is half destroyed.

　With this, only Fenrir is the only demonic beast left.
　So I almost smiled, and immediately afterwards I covered my mouth with my hand as I felt something hot rise up from my throat.

"Ugh.

　The next moment I took my hand away and blood was staining the palm of my hand red.

　...... The limit is already quite close to the limit.

　Realizing that, I quickly tried to take out my magic tool to cast 《Heal》.

''Fi──────i!''

　...... but Fenrir didn't allow me to recover.

　The moment I heard that roar, I gave up on taking out my magic tool and flew to the side as fast as I could.
　The reckless movement caused the wound to open up and bleed badly, but that decision was the right one.

''Fi──i.''

　When I turned around, I saw that Fenrir was where I had been a moment ago.
　The ground had been deeply gouged out.
　If I had been slow to react, even for an instant, the attack that gouged out the ground would have torn through my body.

　I managed to avoid that attack, but I still hadn't gotten out of the predicament.

　Fenrir was glaring hatefully in my direction.
　Under his gaze, I realize that it's impossible to cast 【Heal】.
　Taking out the magic tool is foolish, and Fenrir won't even give me the time to try to cast the 《Heal》.
　Astonishment is still floating in his eyes, and I can tell that Fenrir is still confused.
　But that confusion will no longer slow down Fenrir's offensive moves.

　Even more than the confusion, the rage in Fenrir's eyes makes me understand that.

　Fenrir is definitely coming to kill me.
　If I expose an opening, even for a moment, Fenrir will surely kill me.

　...... I no longer had the confidence to avoid the next attack.

　The situation is close to the limit with his tattered body and without a dagger.
　In such a situation, it was unlikely that he would avoid Fenrir's attack.

''You've come to a place like this: ......

　The next thing I knew, I had come to a place where the played dagger was two or three steps away.

　However, that good fortune was not to be rejoiced at the moment.
　Fenrir wouldn't even give me the time to pick up the dagger.
　In the first place, even if he had a dagger right now, he wouldn't have the confidence to avoid the attack.

　With the forceful evasion just now, all I'm left with is the extra power to attack once or not.

　With that alone, how do I get out of this situation?
　In search of hope, I run my eyes over my surroundings.

　It's then that I noticed a blue figure at the edge of my field of vision, coming towards me in a straight line.

...... really is too dependent on you.

　Despite the situation, I found myself smiling a small smile.
　Maybe she'll understand, I thought to myself.
　But there was no way I would expect her to come at such a perfect time.

　She responded to me in a way that was far more than I could have ever imagined.
　If that's the case, then I should be the one to respond to her.
　The moment I decided that, I was on my way to the dagger.

'Fi────i!'

　Following me, Fenrir raises his wanderings and points his claws at me.

　Without even realizing that the object of true alarm is approaching.
　In that moment of being distracted by me, I close the distance between me and her.

'Fii!?'

　It's only then that Fenrir also finally realizes that someone is approaching, but she - Narsena - has already caught Fenrir within the attack range.

''Get away from your brother, Fii!

　The next moment, a narcena kick, delivered with the momentum of a run, was slammed into Fenrir .......
