My brother's dagger falling to the ground while reflecting the glittering light.
　Even though the dagger was far away, somehow I, Narcena, was able to see the scene clearly.

''Sono, na.''

　A snatched voice leaks out of his stunned open mouth.
　Two ogres, unarmed in front of Fenrir.
　That's the worst thing imaginable.

　I have to rush to my brother's side as soon as possible.
　With such an impulse, I strike at the ogre in front of me.

　The ogre also reacted easily to my forceful attack, which I let my emotions get the better of me.
　The great sword in the ogre's hand is closing in on my body.

　Even so, I did not interrupt the attack.
　On the contrary, I strengthened my physical abilities with all my might.

　That decision turned out to be a good thing in this situation.
　The ogre's great sword, which I hadn't thought of as coming forward and derailed its aim, deflected off my body.
　I then manage to sneak into the ogre's unprotected bosom.

'Get out of the way!'

　The ogre collapsed without even screaming as it was slammed into my abdomen with a full-force fist, and it collapsed without even raising its voice.
　I was putting myself in danger, but I managed to disable one of the ogres from fighting.

　However, that doesn't change the situation.

''Gah!''

　The ogre behind the fallen ogre quickly attacked, forcing me to step back.

'Quickly get to your brother ......!

　Even though I know that the unchanging situation will only slow down our movements, I can't help but feel frustrated.

　The remaining demonic beasts are one rich and three ogres.
　If we continue to fight like this, we will definitely win.
　However, there is no guarantee that your brother will be alive at that time.

　You will find that the ogre raises his dagger to the brother who does not have a weapon.

　...... It's not too late, I realize that I'm not going to make it.

　That during the battle, a large number of demonic beasts, including two riches, appeared.
　That the adventurers in the labyrinth city couldn't deal with them, and the orcs and worms had to deal with them as well.

　And suddenly, the two ogres started running towards Fenrir.

　I can think of a million reasons why we couldn't hold the ogres back.
　But such things are just excuses.

　Because your brother was the only one holding Fenrir back.

　Your brother was forced to endure a much tougher battle than we were, yet he was able to endure it.
　While we were fighting ogres and riches, he was the only one holding back the mutated Fenrir.

　And yet, I couldn't even stall the ogre, let alone cooperate with my brother like that.
　The words I declared before Fenrir and his brother fought, still lingered in my head.
　That's why I can't help but feel even more pitiable.
　What in the world is a woman who can be trusted?

　Because of me, your brother will die.

"Onii-san,

　Stunned, a voice escaped my mouth.

　It was as if he had heard the words, and that's when his brother's eyes met mine.
　It wasn't a mistake, but it was clear.
　And I could see that my brother was trying to move his mouth as if he was trying to tell me something.

　But without giving your brother's mouth time to carve out ...... words, the dagger swung by the ogre sliced through your brother's body.

''......!''

　A tremendous amount of blood spurted out of my brother's body.
　I could easily imagine, even from a distance, that that was a fatal wound.

　That horrific scene made my heart go cold as if it was frozen.
　But at that time, what I saw in my mind was a different scene.

　It's the figure of my brother looking back at me.

　What was your brother trying to say just before the dagger tore his body apart?
　I don't know that.

　However, there was one thing I was sure of.

　Recalling the eyes your brother was giving me, I muttered.

'...... Your brother hasn't given up yet?'

　In line with Fenrir, even though he was surrounded by two ogres with weapons and lost his own weapons, his brother's eyes had not lost their light.

　On the contrary, there was a strong determination in his eyes.
　A determination to overturn that absolutely desperate situation, as if to say so.

　Remembering those eyes, I bit my lip.
　What a mistake I had made.
　I regret my mistake only after everything is over.

''──I'm not done yet!

　Clenching my fists tightly, I stared at the ogres that blocked my front.

　It was then that the ogres in front of me suddenly became abnormal.

''Guh!''

　The ogres squatted down, spewing fresh blood from their chests.
　When I turned around, I saw Zeke's figure there, gasping for breath on his shoulder.
　The magic sword in his hand was shining with a light stronger than ever before.
　I didn't need to ask to guess at that scene.
　Zeke-san must have used his backhandedness.

　After confirming that the demonic beast has disappeared from in front of me, Zeke-san shouts with a desperate expression.

''Go, Narsena!

　I reacted to those words and tried to run ...... but I wasn't the only one who reacted to that Zeke-san's attack.

　I'm not going to be the only one who has been able to get away from Zeke's attack thanks to being behind the ogre, but I can see Rich at the edge of my vision as he begins to build up his magic, apparently thanks to being behind the ogre.
　My movements slow down for a moment as I realize that his aim is Zeke-san, who is showing signs of fatigue.

　But I didn't have to deal with it.

　The next moment, a blade protrudes from Rich's chest.
　For a moment I didn't understand what had happened, as did Rich, who was holding his chest in place.
　But soon I notice a figure behind Rich.

...... hansom.

　The man there was a male guild employee who should have been hostile to his brother.

　How did he not notice that he was behind him, even if it was only for a moment?
　Wasn't Hansam supposed to be with the Mist?

　All sorts of questions like that came to mind, but there was no time to ask them now.
　I took my eyes away from Rich as he began to fight Hanzam.

　Then I turned to my brother and started running as fast as I could.
