I don't have a choice...!

　The words of determination were meant to inspire me to get myself together.
　It was because in front of the dinosaur-sized enemy again, a fear had begun to grow within me.

　It was a lingering fear in the back of my chest, instilled when I was killed by the Shin-En-Dragon, and it was a kind of traumatic fear.
　It was a traumatic fear that was beginning to glimmer in his mind.

　This fear of a huge enemy reminiscent of the Demon Dragons, however, remained a small spark and did not grow any further.

''It must be thanks to Sasha's contrivance just now that my shoulders have relaxed...''
　Thanks to that, I'm sure I felt a lot more at ease.

"I guess being able to act as usual in a situation like this is a necessary quality for a person who stands on top.......
　The content was too much of a thing, and it was just a bottom line, to be frank, but yeah, she's a really reliable and awesome girl, Sasha...!

'Okay, I'll take care of this one and Sasha will stay away--you can't just tell me to stay away!
'Yes, when they rampage so extensively and loudly, when they say it's a safe place to be--'
You really have a right to do this, you know.

　The Supreme Wolf, which was made huge by the Skywolf Roar Lyrapse Overlord, didn't feel like it was trying to do anything about us, but rather was rampaging around randomly, as if it was letting its anger get the better of it.

　Shrubbery was being pulled down at random, rocks were being thrown around, some smashed to pieces, and the earth was raging in all directions.
　The ground was hollow and bare in many places, and the area around the road was in a terrible state.

"Is this child perhaps losing his mind--
I think so, yeah.

　A moment later, as I stepped forward to protect Sasha, I was able to take the clawing fire from the powerful rush that came at me.

'Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

　Gagaageeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
　By striking the Japanese sword (Kusanagi) with all his strength, he forcefully flicked it back--!

I, I...

　At any rate, it was an attack from a furious rush using an overwhelmingly large body.
　It's a good thing that the mass weapon-like attack was forcibly repelled, and my hands have become numb and half-empty.

"As expected, it's tough to take this directly...!
　I didn't even feel like I was holding a Japanese sword (kusanagi), so I couldn't help but visually check my hand.

'Lord Seya!'
I'll be fine!　Sasha, you need to take care of yourself first!　Honestly, I'm not sure I can keep it down unless I focus as hard as I can!　Because I don't have the time to care about the people around me!

　Saying, he flaps his left hand, which was particularly numb, and lets the numbness go.
　It's not completely back yet, but it doesn't interfere with the fight.
　If it's like this, it'll be back to normal soon enough as we fight.

　When Sasha saw my appearance like that, she muttered.
''As I thought, Seya-sama, you can't use that golden power.......''
I knew it... or maybe you noticed.

You've been in a lot of trouble all the way to this point and you haven't even shown any signs of using that golden power. It's only natural to think that there's some reason why it can't be used.

You've been paying attention.
　As far as I'm concerned, it's just my normal impressions, and I didn't mean to imply anything that weird.

It's only natural for a future wife to do so!
　For some reason, Sasha, who looks flustered, speaks quickly & in places in a whisper, and gurgles.

''........?　I couldn't hear you a little bit during the process, but I'm sorry, I can't believe I just--oops!

　When I interrupted the conversation, I hurriedly took Sasha in a princess hug and jumped backwards wide--!
　Late, a giant clawed sideways cleave runs through the area we were in.

　Further to the right, left, forward and back, I cut my steps to avoid the chase.

　The romantic comedy A-class cheat "princess groping" is activated again, and Sasha, who's being held, is cooing her head against my chest, and I'm in love with her in a hawkish way, but I don't have the luxury of worrying about it right now.

　I'm running around with Sasha in my arms, running away from her.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to deceive you. And to be honest, I'm currently completely unable to use the Divine Annihilation Haou at all.
　I confided in Sasha in my arms.

　I confessed to her honestly.
　I couldn't feel a single fragment of the burning sun that I had felt back then.
　I thought that fighting a powerful SS-class enemy was a requirement for activating the Shinmetsuhaou, but I guess it's not that easy.

''There's no need for Seiya-sama to apologize. It's a powerful force that surpasses even the Demonizing Dragon. No one has the right to complain even if they can't control it at will.

Well I'll take that as a yes. All right, I'm going to put you down, and you'll just have to get through the rest of it. It's only one wolf. I'll take care of it, even if I can't use the divine Annihilation King, I'll take care of it, okay?

　There's a village nearby, Chris said.
　There's no guarantee that this guy in a runaway state won't attack that village--

So I've got to stop this thing right here...!
Lady Sayre.
Hmm?

　I heard Sasha's voice, which was more serious than ever, as I renewed my resolve.

　And the moment I turned back to Sasha.
Chu--
　The warmth of a touch on my mouth.

That was--

　It took an instant to pull away - but the warmth of that touch, I'm sure of it.

This is my first kiss and I wish you good luck, Lady Seya. May you be safe and sound...
'Oh ... oh yeah!　I'll take care of it!

　The trusting words of Sasha, the thoughts, the warmth - my back is strong, strong, strong!　He's gonna give us a little push back--!

　There wasn't a trace of fear left in my heart already.


"Now, let's go, 'Swordsman'. Let's show Sasha, and the world in particular, that you and I are the strongest?

　I said gruffly, and I plunged straight into the giant white wolf--!
