"Haha ...... haha ......
"You okay?

　Thrusting the wise man's sword like a wand, an angel fearing that I might fall at any moment.
　I've never been so exhausted or so wounded in my life.

You're okay. More importantly, ......

　I looked around.
　Eliza and the maids were slumped over.

　They were all on the ground, unconscious.

　I crouch down with Eliza, who was closest to me just before.

d*mn it. ......

　When I tried to crouch down, I just fell off my knees.

Don't move again!　It's the divine punishment of the creator God, just being alive is already a miracle!
"Not so ......

　Reach out a trembling hand and touch Eliza.
　Her breathing is thin and wan.

　She looks up and sees the other maids.
　They're all in a similar situation.

　I played God's Punishment, but it looks like the aftermath went to them.
　We have to help them.

"What...

　Hold out your hand and use healing magic - but it doesn't work.

I have zero magic. ......

　In order to play God's punishment, you have squeezed your magic power to the limit, and as a result, you are so depleted that you cannot use even rudimentary healing magic.

"Rest. When the magic power is truly broken, the spirit - the soul!

　The angel cries out.
　If you try to use magic when your magic power is low, it can drain your soul instead of your magic power.

　You can then use magic, but the soul is not something that can be recovered even if it is depleted.
　I heard from the wise man's sword once that if you use it up, you'll never be able to reincarnate again and disappear completely.

　That didn't work.
　I looked around, there were too many maids.
　I could wear their souls down to the limit, but it wouldn't be enough.
　We'll have to find another way.

　Anyway, the magic, if I had a little bit of magic...

"Ah.

　I remember a magic.
　I drew my wise man's sword and cut my palm.

　Fresh blood poured out of a wound long enough to cross my palm.

What are you doing?

　I didn't have time to explain, I was bleeding out even more.
　Gulping down the urge to fall, you use your magic.

　Using fresh blood as a medium, it drains your strength and restores your magic.
　The only magic in the world that does not consume magic.

　With about a bowl of fresh blood, you've regained enough magic power to cast a single healing spell.

　First, Eliza.
　Hold out your hand and cast a healing spell.
　Eliza recovered quickly and her complexion improved.

　And my body lit up.

What: ......
"Okay.

　Tuck the recovering Eliza into the shadows and approach another maid who is lying nearby.

　Agnes Member, daughter of Viscount Member, one of the Master's maids.

　I've cast a healing spell on her as well.

　Lotus' ability, restores 10% of my magic when I use it.
　Thanks to the primer's magic recovery and the healing spell I used, 10% of my magic power is restored.

　In this case, there's already enough magic power.
　I cast healing spells on the fallen maids one after another and hid them in my own shadow.

I'm over the limit, but I'm still ...... amazing ......

　Fortunately, everyone was not badly hurt.

　I took a direct hit, and everyone else is just the aftermath, a fluke.
　Apply a healing spell and take a night off and you'll be back to normal.

　That's for sure.
　But even though I knew it was so.

　I was determined to save the maids, one by one, as soon as possible.

　Just as my magic ran out, my strength was actually beyond my limits.
　But as a result of prioritizing the healing of the maids.

Hey!　Are you okay?　Ahhh!

　After returning the last maid to the shadows, she let go of her consciousness amidst the screams of the angels.

　　　　　☆

"Next, we're both stranded.
I'll go.
No I will.
It's time to return the favor.

　A strange tremor shook my body and I could hear the women's voices in my ears.

"Get her away from here as far as possible. You two first, you second.
I understand.


If the first two left go down, go.
"Yes!

　It was with great gusto.
　Guided by that enthusiasm, the blurred mind gradually becomes clearer.

　I open my eyes and see the sky. It's like I'm being put to sleep.

　I hear the rattling of wheels and the body on its back shakes.

　If you look closely, you see that you're lying on a carriage that's just a cart.

What's ...... awake?
"Alec!
""Master!"

　Eliza's voice and the maids' voices could be heard.
　I look around.

　Eliza, with me, and the bound angel were on a dolly, and the maids, who should have been sheltered in the shadows, had come out before I knew it and were running alongside the dolly.

'Are you okay?　The body?
Yeah, I'm still a little sluggish, but--

　He tries to lift the sage's sword - but his hand is too weak to do so, and it falls off.
　The sword barrel of the baboon falls on the cart.

Don't worry about it. We'll take care of it.
"What do you mean?
"Your Majesty!

　One of the maids shouted in an urgent voice.
　Eliza, and the maids turned around.

　I turned around, too.

What!

　I was startled to death.

　About 100 meters away, a battle was going on.
　Something like a winged angel surrounds the two maids.

　The angelic ones are over 100, the maids are struggling, but they're being swallowed up.

　Stranded, the word "stranded" comes to mind.

"Alice, Chiara.
"Yes!

　The same two voices that I heard when I was in a daze, calling my name, responded.

Go when you're down.
We'll take care of it.
If you let the master go, you win, it's never been this easy.

　They were clutching the dagger I had given them.

Wait, what are you two going to do?

　Eliza replied.

"shin-gariyo.
"Shin-gari is ......
Leave a few and stall them in phases. It will result in longer stalling than leaving them all together.
Fewer and fewer, then those who are left
"Master.
I'd rather be happy for my master!

　The next two remaining maids, Alice and Chiara, answered with a complete smile.
　If you look, the other maids are looking at them with the same or envious faces.

Look at these faces.
"Eliza ......
People are willing to die for you. That's why Alec should only care about surviving. Even if you're alone, if you get away with it, you win.
I'll be the only one at ......

　That's what it means with Eliza.
　Maybe Eliza's going to do it.
　I don't know if she's going to do it as emperor or as a maid once and for all.
　But Eliza is also going to get her body in gear.
　I could see it clearly from her face and her words.

There's no such thing as .......
"Rest easy. You can't even hold a sword and you're not reckless.
"It's Eliza and the others who are reckless.

Gritting your teeth, you lift the wise man's sword.
　Scold your trembling hand and tighten your grip on the hilt.

　Take a deep breath, it feels like I can move around a bit.
　I don't know if I'm going to be reckless and get into trouble, but that's not important.

　Don't let your maids sacrifice so much for me.

Eliza, there is one more thing you can win in this situation.
No way.
I have.

　I insisted.
　Then I looked around at Eliza and the maids of honor who were running alongside us but looking at us.

"All I have to do is kill the enemy and bring them back in one piece.
"--Ha!

　They all gulped, stopped in their tracks.

　One by one, their faces blushed like a nightlight.

　I grabbed the wise man's sword, jumped out of the cart, and headed back to Shingari's place.
