Raina, Goddess of Wisdom and Victory

Lady Raina!　Oh, my God!　Rage and the others are confronting the Dark Knight of the example!

　Nia, the female angel, rushes into my room at Elyos.
　It's noisy.
　Nia is the captain of the war maidens. As someone who stands above her, she should calm down a bit.

'I know, Nia. But that's okay. It's obvious who is going to win. Because the man I love can't lose.

　When I say this, Nia lets out an exclamation, "Oh.

'So Lady Raina trusts Rage?'
What?

　Nia's words make me sound weird.

'Isn't it?'
'No, I don't know what you mean. But, well, you might as well go and help Rage. You still need to be useful.

　Then I touch my belly.
　If the new brave man in my belly grows up, I won't need Rage.
　But until then, you have to be useful.
　It seems that the evil gods in the west are planning something bad.
　We have to let the Rage and the others deal with that.

''Nia, gather the war maidens. We're heading out.




Sisyphe

　In the skies above the Republic of Ariadia, a dark knight on a giant dragon is projected in the sky.
　This magical image can be seen by everyone in the Republic of Ariadia.
　The dark knight in the image is holding up his right hand.
　All of the light bullets released by Rage-sama earlier were absorbed by that right hand.

''Sizefe. Isn't that the dark knight we've met before?

　Sister Kayna says to me as she looks at the new Dark Knight image.

'Yeah, right. That's the one we met in the labyrinth.'

　I nodded.
　He was the one I met in the labyrinth when I went out to slay the Lizardmen before. Because of that dark knight, I was able to receive blessings from Raina-sama.
　But I have no intention of thanking her.
　It's a good thing that you're not the only one.

It's a good thing that the dark knight is a dark knight. You've sucked up all the brave men of light's attacks.

　Novis says admiringly.

'Hey, Novis. Are you going to support the Dark Knight?

　I glare at Novice.

'No, no!　I'm not!　I'm just a little impressed that you were able to block the attack of that mighty hero of light. And even if a dark knight appeared, how could the brave men of light be defeated? So don't look at me like that.

　Novice hurriedly corrects him.
　Hearing that, I am in a better mood.
　As Novis said, he must be a moderate enemy since he prevented that Rage-sama's attack.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.
　But there's no way they're a match for Rage-sama. It's obvious that he will easily defeat them.

'What is it?　Who is the Dark Knight?　Well, but you're not the enemy of the brave Lord of Light. Isn't that right, Chiyuki-dono?

　His Excellency General Krasus seems to have the same idea.
　He laughs and speaks to Chiyuki-sama beside him.
　However, Chiyuki-sama's face is quickly turning pale. Sweat was running down his forehead as well, and it was as if his calmness from earlier was a lie.

Kaya. It's not a bad situation, is it?
Yes, miss. This is a very bad situation.

　Kyouka-sama and the others beside Chiyuki-sama were pale in the face.
　Their appearance was unusual.
　I had a bad feeling about something.




◆Dark Knight Kuroki.

　I pulled Glorious close to Lanfeld.
　I got there in time.
　It looks like Rage was playing with Llanfeld.
　Without that play, I wouldn't have made it in time.

'Are you finished?　Lord Llanfeld?

　I say to myself angrily.

'I'm sorry my lord,'

　Lanfeld bowed his head honestly.

'Sir, you should consider your position for a moment!　This is not a battle to protect His Majesty the Demon King!

　When I reprimand him, Runfeld doesn't say anything.
　I think he knows that he knows that. He understands that he has done a foolish thing.
　Then there is nothing more to say.
　So, I'm going to get my anger under control. There is no need to get more angry than necessary.

'Then we will now retreat to the labyrinth. Sir Ulvald is good to go too?
"Yes, sir. ......

　Urvald bows his head honestly.
　This time, it seems that this thing started with Urvald.
　And Lanfeld took advantage of it. That's the truth of the matter.
　I'll get to the details later.

"Hold it!

　I looked at Rage when he called out to me.
　He turns to look at Lanfeld, but he's not letting his guard down. I feel a strong hostility.

''What is it? We are retreating ourselves, though!

　I answer loudly myself.

'You think you can get away with it?　I'm strong enough to beat you!

　Saying that, Rage holds both swords in his hands.
　Two swords. Rage is going to fight with it.
　If you look closely, you can see that one of the swords is Lanfeld's sword.
　It's dangerous to show your back to Rage like that. It's difficult to make this many demons retreat.
　I'm very depressed. But I have no choice but to go.

You can't escape from ....... Coona, I'm going to go out for a while.

　When I got off Glorious, I flew through the sky to face Rage.
　I was afraid to come to this world first and fight Rage.
　I was afraid that I would be miserable again.
　And if I lost, I would die. That's very scary.
　But we can't run away. If you don't fight, you're still a loser.
　It's miserable to stay defeated.
　That's why I've been working so hard to be strong.
　Rage says he became strong to beat me, too. I think the two-fisted fight is the result of that.
　That makes me sick to my stomach.
　I'm sure Rage is getting very strong.
　I've been training with that in mind, but that assumption is wrong. But that assumption may be wrong.
　If that happens, I will die.
　Rage is frustrating, but he's a genius. The last time he fought me, it was just a fluke.
　There may not be a next time.

"There you are. "Good to see you. I don't like losing all the time. You're gonna have to take this one seriously.

　Rage's fresh smile.
He doesn't seem to think at all that he's going to lose.
　Oh no, I'm starting to feel sick to my stomach for some reason.
　I want to run away.
　But I can't run away now.
　Besides, there's Kuna. I can't run away in front of Kuna.
　What do we do now?
　I'm going to cry.

'Let's go!

　However, Rage doesn't wait for me to do so, raising two swords to close in on me.
　That move was much faster than the move he had shown to Lanfeld earlier.
　And that movement was far different from what was expected.




◆The black-haired sage Chiyuki.

　In front of me, Rage and Shirone's childhood friend, the Dark Knight, are confronting each other in the air.
　It's bad, if this continues, Rage might kill him.
　If that happens, Shirone will be sad.
　He lost before, but Rage is stronger now. I don't think he'll lose this time.
　So I have to stop the two of them from fighting.

Chiyuki-san. Your brother is in danger if you don't do something about it. Can't you do something about it?

　Kyouka tells me with a panicked look on her face.
　But that idea is wrong.

'The one in danger is Shirone's childhood friend, Kyouka-san. Rage, you've gotten a lot stronger since then.
Yo.

　Kyouka gives me a strange look when I say that.

''Eh?　Isn't that crazy? Kuroki-san should be stronger than me. After all, you are my teacher. Isn't that right, Kaya?
'Yes, Miss, I think you're right.

　Kyoka argues back, and Kaya follows suit.
　But that idea is strange. It doesn't mean he's strong because he's a teacher.

'Chiyuki-san!　Oh, no!　It's going to start!

　Nao says to me in a hurry.
　I look and see Rage going towards him with two swords raised.
　I'm not going to make it.
　I can see the two swords that Rage is holding glowing.

''Flash of light and fury!!!''

　Rage shouts.
　That move is a move I can't see through even with one sword.
　I release it with two swords.
　This will cut through him.
　The sword of light approaches at high speed.
　He, the dark knight, is surrounded by light.
　And something was sent flying towards us.

''Heh?''

　I make a very dumb sound.
　Something comes flying in and breaks the top of the ramparts we're on and sends us flying straight to the second ramparts.
　There is a roaring sound. The flying something must have hit the second rampart.
　I turn around and look at the second rampart.
　What was flying at me? Something that flew at me looked like Rage for a moment.

'Uh, ....... What happened?

　I ask Nao next to me.
　Even if I can't see through it, Nao's eyes can see what happened.

'Shirone-san's boyfriend fought back and smashed it after he blocked Rage senior's attack ......

　Nao also opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

''Moreover, that technique is the one I used on Kuroki-sama before, isn't it? It looks like it was stolen.

　Kaya mutters.
　I can see the sweat on his forehead.
　Unusual, Kaya is surprised.

'd*mn it!

　With such a voice, Rage comes flying out of the second rampart.
　Rage heads towards him at high speed, the dark knight.
　He is surrounded by light again.
　And this time, something hits the ground.
　When I look, I see that Rage is on his back and buried in the ground.

''Oh no, Rage-sama!

　Sisyphe's mournful cry at his side.
　General Krasz's men are also groaning.

'It looks like you can't stand up to them at all: ......

　Kaya looks at Rage buried in the ground and says calmly.

'See, I told you so.

　Kyouka is getting good at what she said she would do.
　But this isn't the time for that.
　Rage leaps out of the ground and challenges him again.
　However, Rage's sword of light doesn't reach his opponent at all.

"Well. This is bad for Rage senior. ......

　Nao mutters with a surprised look on her face.

'Yes, Nao!　You're in danger, Raige!　Hurry up and get Miss White.　We have to stop him!



Kuna, the Silver Witch.

What is that?　Isn't the brave man of light no match for you at all?

　Urvald is astonished.
　In front of Urvald's eyes, Kroki and a brave man are fighting.
　Of course, Kroki is pushing.
　But still, the brave man of light is pathetic.
　If you think you can bring out a little bit of Kroki's seriousness, it's not good at all.

''What's the matter?　Urvald. You don't look so good. What's going on?
"Dear Mr. Coona, ....... No, it's nothing. I'm just amazed at how strong you are.

　There is a look of trepidation on Urvald's face.
　He finally realized how stupid he had been thinking.

'You fool!　No wonder Kroki is stronger than a brave man!

　This guy really is an idiot. He doesn't deserve to be alive.
　Too bad he didn't get killed by a brave man. He's a lucky guy.
　What a foolish idea to crush Kroki and the heroes together in the first place.
　Of course it all ends with Kroki crushing them all.

''Yes, I was stupid: ......

　Ulvald bows his head.

'Hmm, well, good. Lanfeld. How's the wound?　Can you fight?

　Coona looks at Lanfeld.

'I've been given a healing spell, so I can still fight.

　Lanfeld's slashed off arm is restored with healing magic.
　And.
　It won't be back to normal, but we'll be able to fight somehow.

''Right, then, Demon King's Army. Be ready to fight at all times.

　When he said that, Urvald looked surprised.

'Um, Lady ...... Kuna. Aren't you going to retreat?

　I give him the coldest possible look.

'You're an idiot!　You're gonna let Kroki fight alone?　A brave man has friends!　You'll have to keep them in check, though!

　Was this guy planning to only let Kroki fight and escape on his own?

'Lady Kuna is right. We can't let His Excellency fight alone.

　He laughs when he hears Lanfeld's words.
　Then he invokes the magic.

'Yes. And I'll have to teach it to you. Humans: ....... No, all of this world. That there is a darkness that light never reaches!




Shirone the Maiden of Swords

Geez. You took your time, Silone.

　Reno chuckles at me.

'Yes, you're finally done, Reno,'

　We are above the Gulf of Ariad.
　We have just carried Badon and made him disappear above this.
　The King of Flames that Reno-chan had called up had already disappeared, and steam from the evaporated seawater was rising around us.

It's time to go back. I'd like to know what's going on over there.
'That's an overwhelming victory for Rage. There's no way I'd lose to that thing.
That too, I suppose.

　We laugh.
　It was that time. I feel a strong flow of power.
　Lino-chan seems to have felt it too and looks towards the Ariadia Republic.

''Silone-san ....... ''This one,''

　I nodded at Reno's words.
　I had a bad feeling about something.




◆Mona, Queen of Darkness.

　The image above the throne room of the Demon King's Castle shows Lord Dihardt and the brave men of light fighting.

''Kuhn, this is quite a sight. It's an amusing sight, don't you think? Don't you think so, Morna?

　My dear Lord Modes speaks to me.
　He seemed to be enjoying himself.

'Yes ....... 'I'm afraid of Sir Dihardt's strength.'

　I reply, but I'm not in a pleasant mood.
　Images of the dark knight smashing the brave man of light are playing in the video.
　That's where the anxiety I felt before came up.
　After all, isn't the hero of the other world who will defeat Master Modes Sir Dihardt?
　That's why he had secretly ordered Urbald to crush Sir Dihardt, even though he thought so.
　Urbald had planned to use a little guy called Zand or something like that to crush the brave man of light and the dark knight together.
　But he seems to have failed. Totally useless.
　Perhaps that's why it's not fun at all.
　It seems that it's the same for those who are waiting by my side. The people at the side all have a frightened expression on their faces.
　This is because they are afraid of Modes-sama, of course.
　Normally, Mr. Modes-sama smiles very gently.
　But his current smile is very aggressive.
　Probably because of the blood in their veins after watching Sir Dihardt fight.
　Those at his side are frightened by the signs of Lord Modes's aggression.

''Hahahahaha. The brave men of light are completely out of control. Sir Dihardt is really strong. Kuhn, maybe even stronger than this Modes. Hahahahahahaha.

　My dear Master Modes smiled happily.
　I felt uneasy about that.




Diadna, Queen of the Serpent.

　The images in the throne room of my palace show a dark knight and a brave man of light fighting.

''He's strong. That dark knight is strong. You should be no match for him.
'You're fighting me, Diadna, Queen of the Snakes!

　I say this and turn a regretful look at Lavrus.

'I'm sorry, Lavrus. I didn't mean to offend you.

　He quieted Lavrus.
　The cow-headed god doesn't look amused, "Humph! I turn away from him.

'Then again, I didn't know that such a strong dark knight was under Modes' control: ......

　I look at the images again.
　Even though it's only an image, I feel a mighty power.
　Modes, the most powerful god, has a powerful dark knight under his command.
　This is a dangerous thing.
　I recall the information that Zand, Zarxis' son, has obtained.

'I knew we'd have to bring that one back: ......




Black haired wise man Chiyuki

　A magical image over the Republic of Ariadia shows Rage, the brave man of light, being beaten down.
　I tried to turn off the image because Rage is losing, but I can't turn it off.
　It looks like someone has probably jacked it up. Therefore, the footage will be seen by all of Ariadia.
　You can hear the despairing voices of the citizens of Ariadia.
　They have failed.
　Just because I said that Rage was the hope of humanity or something like that, I have instead plunged the people into despair.

''Hey Chiyuki-san!　Ray, you're in trouble!　We have to help!

　Sahoko, who had rushed to the castle walls, said in a hurry.

''Please wait, Sahoko-sama. You must not help her carelessly. She's looking at us. If we move, they will move as well. I'm not sure I can hold her by myself. Let's wait for Sirone-sama.

　Kaya, beside her, stops Sahoko.
　Out of the corner of Kaya's eye is the Goddess of Moonlight, or rather the White Silver Witch.
　Apparently she's as strong as or stronger than us.
　Besides, there's an army of demons waiting behind them on the giant dragon.
　If we carelessly save Rage, they might join the war effort.

But then Rei-kun will die. ......

　Sahoko looks at Rage with concern.
　Rage is being ripped apart in front of Sahoko's eyes.

'No, probably not in mortal danger. Kuroki-sama is taking it easy on us. If he was serious, Reigi-sama would already be dead.

　Kaya's words surprised me.

'Kaya, he's not really fighting?'

　Kaya nodded as I asked.

'Yes, Chiyuki-sama. Look, he hasn't taken the sword yet.'
Ah!

　Kaya is right. He doesn't take up his sword, but instead deals with Rage with his bare hands.
　And if you look closely, the way he fights, it's like he has no choice but to deal with Rage because he's going to come at him.
　If you think about it, he was about to retreat.
　Maybe he doesn't really want to fight and is just paying off the fire that's coming down.
　I'm relieved to see that we're not killing each other.

''You're really strong, Kaya. Why is Kuroki-san so strong?''

　Kyouka says with a complicated expression.
　To Kyouka, the Dark Knight, he is a benefactor. He is the one who is ripping off his own brother.
　He doesn't know which one to support.

''I've been wondering that too. How can he be so strong? From what you said about Mr. Cyrone, he seemed like an insignificant person.

　I ask Kaya too.
　From what Cyrone said, he only sounded like a kind man, a useless person with nothing else to offer. But in reality he is very strong.

''I don't know what Shirone-sama thinks, but as far as I can tell, he's a martial arts genius. Probably more than Rage-sama .......

　They all exclaimed at Kaya's words.

''But Sirone says you were very weak before. ......
'I think some of us are awakened to our talents from the beginning, while others wake up later. Shirone-sama has been estranged from Kuroki-sama since she started dating Reigi-sama and the others. Perhaps he awakened to his talents during that time.

　Kaya says as she watches the two men fight.
　The difference in power between the two men is obvious.
　Rage doesn't give up and is challenging them, but his attacks aren't reaching them at all.

'Oh no, Rei-kun was working so hard ....... I was training every day, but .......''

　Sahoko says sadly.

'Oh, well then. Kuroki-san didn't seem to be neglecting his daily training either.''

　Kyouka says, tilting her head.
　Yes, I hadn't thought about that.
　As Rage gets stronger, so does his opponent.
　I don't think Rage was thinking about that.
　Maybe he was thinking of his opponents in his favor.
　How could he win then!
　I watch him fight.
　Rage, who always has a spare expression on his face, is getting serious.
　There's no room for the way he fights.

''Such ....... I can't believe you lost, Rage-kun.''

　I watched the battle with disbelief.




Dark Knight Kroki.

　Something that is soooo weak: .......
　Rage is not as strong as I thought it would be.
　He launches attacks, but his movements are not particularly different from before.
　It's a two-pronged approach, but that's all.
　What does it mean when the expectation is that he should be stronger than he is now?
　To be clear, I'm not even a tenth as strong as I assumed.
　I thought that I would be stronger than Rage, and I had been training hard to not lose.
　Of course, I still didn't have confidence in my ability to win.
　However, when I actually fought him, I saw that he moved slower than I had expected, and his movements were easy to read.
　In this case, it's going to be easy to win.
　Rage swings the sword in his right hand. The movement is huge.
　I twist the right arm that Rage is holding with my left hand to block it and twist it up at the same time.

''Guh!''

　Rage's distressed voice.
　However, Rage doesn't care and swings his left sword.
　He knocks it off with his right hand sword.
　The Lanfeld sword that Rage took away from him falls to the ground. One of Llanfeld and the others will retrieve it.
　After the sword is dropped, Rage quickly releases a kick.
　What a move at all, I'm honestly surprised.
　I let go of Rage's right arm and step backwards.
　A kick that misses its target slices through the air.
　When Rage is out of position, he hits me in the face with his right fist.

''Buggy!''

　With a strange voice, Rage goes barefoot to the castle wall.
　Rage is mired in the third rampart.
　I only struck him lightly. But it was a clean decision.
　Normally, a fist like this would not have worked.
　To begin with, Rage's move is not a legitimate martial arts move.
　It was a surprise attack with an uncommon physical ability.
　Its acrobatic movements would instantly turn it into a blind spot.
　However, if you know it will move that way, you can deal with it.
　In fact, if your attack fails because of its large movements, it will leave you open.
　That's why all of our attacks are decided by this one.
　This means that we cannot take the sword. The opponent has so many gaps in his or her movement that I'm sure I'll slice him or her to death without thinking.
　That's why it's a little dangerous, but I'm dealing with it with my bare hands.

''I'll do it. ......

　Rage is coming again.
　He's acting like it's nothing, but his face is swollen.
　His nose is crooked, but will he be okay?

Are we done yet?
'Of course!　I am the brave man of light who brings a golden dawn!　No matter how much the Demon King controls me, I can't lose to you!

　Rage holds the sword of light.
　He who brings the golden dawn.
　My head hurts when I hear those words.
　It's the one who will bring back the golden age of humanity.
　But there was no golden age for humanity in the past to begin with.
　Demons have existed all over the world since before mankind was born.
　So who said it was a golden age?
　From my own research, it seems that this lie wasn't created by the gods of Elyos.
　Perhaps it arose spontaneously among the people over a long period of time.
　People are weak. So they have no choice but to live in fear of the demons.
　That painful thought must have created a false history.
　Of course, someone might have said that was a lie.
　But I think the people suffering by the demons ignored that voice of truth.
　And before long, the lie became the truth among the people.
　The false image that they created on their own to save themselves is the one who will bring about the golden dawn.
　Rage and the others are trapped in this false image.
　The Raiders have become such a hope for humanity.
　Killing Modes won't make the demons disappear, and there will never be a golden age.
　Even so, that lie is still the hope for people to live.
　But there's no need for me to be trapped in such a false image.
　I am a dark knight protecting the Demon King.
　Therefore, I don't care if humanity despairs.

Aah!　God!　I get it!　Let's end this!　Give it your all!　A brave man of light!

　I compose myself.

'Let's go!　Don't avoid it!　The Dark Knight!

　Rage's body glows.
　Then, he rushes forward with his sword at the ready.
　Rage's body becomes an arrow of light coming towards me.
　He releases all the power of the dragon inside him.
　Black flames, including lightning, spew out of himself.
　Rage and myself collide.
　I rotate my arms, which are defended by the black flames, to kill Rage's momentum, and I hit him with all my might with my magic.
　A roaring sound rings out.
　I'm the only one left behind.
　Looking at it, it looks like Rage flew over the third wall of Ariadia, then shattered the top of the second wall and flew through the first wall to the square in front of the temple.
　I can hear Kuna and the others cheering from behind me.
　Rage's fellow girls who were on top of the third rampart rush over to Rage's place. Seeing this, I come to myself.
　Oh no .......
　I couldn't help but get serious. Could it be that I'm dead?
　I got worried, so I flew to the square myself.
　The square was cratered and shattered like a crater.
　I landed on the edge of the crater.
　Luckily, there didn't seem to be anyone in the square. I don't see anyone else who looks injured besides Rage.
　In the center of the crater, you can see Rage getting up, supported by a girl.
　It seems that her life is safe.
　I pat my chest in relief.
　I didn't kill Syrone's girlfriend.

'We're already in the game. ......

　A girl with long black hair looks at me and says. I'm pretty sure her name was Chiyuki.
　The girls stand between Rage and herself.
　No, I had no intention of doing it from the beginning ....... I was going to retreat.
　I just got worried and came to check on you.

'Hey---!　Kuroki!　What are you doing? -----!!!

　I hear shouting from above.
　It looks like Syrone has arrived. Come to think of it, where have I been?
　Shirone comes flying in with wings and goes to Reige.
　She has two girls in tow behind her.

''Hey, Rage-kun, are you okay?　Kuroki!　What did you do to Mr. Raige?　Apologize!

　Sirone looks at me and glares at me.

'Wait, Sirone!

　It looks like Kuna has arrived with Glorious.
　The giant Glorious breaks some buildings as it descends to the ground.
　Coona comes to herself when she gets off Glorious.

Coona, the White Silver Witch ......

　Cyrone glares at Cuna.

'Don't interrupt me at all good places, Syrone!　Kuroki!　Kuna and his men will take down the heroic women!　In the meantime, stop the brave men!

　The words "What? I almost say, "I'm not going to do it anymore! I'm not going to do it again!

'Yes!　Death to the brave!
"Perdition to those who defy the great demon king!
"Judge the fools!

　I look up and see Llanfeld and his friends in the sky.
　Why are they there? Get out of the way! I would say.
　Lanfeld and the others call out "Black Storm God" and "Darkness where the light never reaches" in their mouths.
　What is this?
　Do I have to kill a brave man?
　I'm under a lot of pressure.

Kroki!　Wake up!　That boy is dangerous!　Call the ghouls to Ariadia!　They're releasing demons into the basement or something!　I'm trying to bring disaster to the people of this country!

　Cyrone points to Kuna.
　What? What do you mean? It didn't make sense.
　To begin with, Kuna had only recently arrived here. I don't think she had time to do anything to Ariadia.
　I don't know what it means, but no matter how much Syrone would say bad things about Cuna, I can't overlook it.

''No matter how much you think Syrone, I don't want you to speak ill of Kuna. She's my own lovely girlfriend that I finally got to have ....... And there is no way Kuna will bring disaster to this country. If you still call Kuna an enemy. I will defend Kuna with my life.

　When I say this myself, Shirone looks despairing.

''Wahahahahahaha!　Did you hear that, White?　Kuna wins!　Kroki belongs to Kuna!　That's a shame!　Be-!!!

　Coona hugs her left arm and sticks her tongue out at Cyrone.

'Lie ....... No such ....... I've already been completely brainwashed .......

　Syrone shook her head and stumbled backwards as it was.

''Are you okay!　Mr. Cyrone!

　The girl who came with Cyrone ran up to him.

'Well, that's it, you brave souls!　That's right Kroki!

　When Coona leaves him, he points his scythe at Syrone and the others.
　I want that to wait too.
　I'm sure he's going to protect Coona with his life, but I don't want to kill Syrone and the others either. ......
　This situation is a bit troubling.

''Wait!

　Suddenly, the sky above shines brightly.
　Someone comes down from that light.
　It's a shining, beautiful woman who has come down.
　The woman is surrounded by armed female angels.
　The beautiful woman descends between herself and Shirone and the others.

「「「「「 Raina? 」」」」」

　Sirone and the others are surprised by a woman who suddenly appears.
　It was Raina who came down.
　Naturally, I was surprised as well.
　Everyone present was also surprised at the sudden appearance of the goddess.

''Raina?　Why are you here?

　When I say it myself, Raina laughs meaningfully, "Hmmm.
　The timing is too good.
　He was probably watching somewhere. And it looks like she was looking for an opportunity to get out.
　Lanfeld and the others are puzzled by the sudden appearance of the angels.

'Please, Kroki. Please step back. You will do me a favor, won't you?

　Raina asks, smiling kindly.
　However, this helped. In this situation, it will be easier for us to retreat too.

Wait, what are you doing showing up all of a sudden?　No. ...... Kuna knows you, okay? Who are you?

　Coona nods her head.

'Don't you see?　I am your real thing.
What's that?　What do you mean? But no matter how many of you show up, Kroki is invincible!　The tide is not changing!

　Coona points the scythe at Raina.
　At those words, Lanfeld and the others raise their spirits.
　No, wait a minute. Let's retreat. ......

I'm sorry, but Kroki can't fight me. Remember, Kroki! What happened that night!

　I can feel the magic wave from Raina.
　Then, the forgotten memories of my own brain in the Kingdom of Roxx came back to me.

''Ooohhhh!

　I can't help myself. How could I have forgotten about this amazing thing -----!!!!

What's up?　Kuroki?　Bending over all of a sudden?

　Kuna makes an uneasy sound at her sudden change in appearance.
　Even the people around her can hear the voices of confusion at her sudden change.
　It can't be helped. Because this is not something that can be done by one's own will.

''You!　What did you do to Kuroki?!

　Coona asks Raina.

'It's nothing. I was just reminding you of a few things. Now Kroki can't fight. You guys have no choice but to retreat while you still can.'

　Raina says triumphantly.
　He seems to enjoy watching himself.
　d*mn. My lower body doesn't listen to me.
　Quiet! Quiet! There's no need for you to be here.

Sorry, Kuna!　We shouldn't fight any more!　I'm retreating!

　I pull myself up and force Coona down.
　It's very hard to move because my lower body is in so much trouble.

'Ugh, I get it, Kroki ....... Are you okay?

　Coona agrees when I ask her to do so.
　She seems very worried.
　I apologize to Kuna in my heart, saying I'm sorry.

'Thank you Kuna.'

　And then I see Lanfeld and the others in the sky.
　They too must be withdrawn.

'If we fight any longer!　It's going to affect us too!　Therefore, the Demon King's army will retreat to the labyrinth!　That's an order!

　Loudly, he orders Runfeld and the others.
　They may be dissatisfied, but angelic reinforcements have arrived for Rage and the others.
　If they fight any more, Lanfeld and the others will know that they will cause damage. So they'll listen to the orders.

'Wait ....... The battle is not yet won .......

　I was just about to retreat too. Suddenly, I was accosted from behind.
　The one who called out to me was Rage.
　It looks like he's still planning to fight.
　I'm not sure if I've been given a healing spell or not, but I'm not bleeding anymore.
　However, it looks like he can barely stand up. The girl in white comes over here, supported by the girl in white.
　You clearly don't look like you're in a fighting condition.
　Where does that guts come from?

''Rage, the game is already won. Stop it.

　Raina keeps Rage at bay.

'But Raina. I can't allow myself to lose in front of you. ......

　Rage is already not in a body that can fight. But perhaps because it's in front of Raina, she refuses to admit defeat.
　That's really, really cool: ....... I'm a little impressed.

Please. Mendoza ....... No, I'm worried about you. Please step aside for my sake.

　I just noticed that I was clearly about to say "annoying", but no one else seemed to notice.
　However, having been told that by Raina, Rage will indeed have no choice but to retreat.
　Rage is paragraphing in frustration.

...... All right, Raina. We can't afford to worry about Raina. But one last thing: ....... Show me your face. I didn't remember it last time I saw it. But this time I won't forget it.

　Hearing those words, I thought to myself, "Wow.
　Could it be that you are visiting to thank me?
　Then I don't want you to see me. I'm scared.

"No, no. I just want to walk away.

　So I say no.

Are you saying it's not worth showing?

　I can hear Rage say in frustration.
　No, I'm not.
　I don't feel like explaining, so I don't say anything.
　I lean forward and go to Glorious with Coona.
　It's uncool, even if I am.
　However, looking at Raina's face reminds me of that time.
　Let's hurry up and leave this place.
　Glorious, who was carrying us, flaps his wings and flies through the air.
　Glorious leads the way, followed by Lanfeld and the others.
　The warrior maidens are not following.
　They left Ariadia with the storm.
