The duel was interrupted by Nosfi's appearance.
　Elmirado, standing in front of him, kneels on the ground with a disgusted look on his face and bows his head to Nosfi above him.

''d*mn, you're early ....... I didn't expect it to be this fast .......'

　Following him, Persiona-san, who had collected Noir-chan and placed her on her back, also kneels down. Out of the four legs increased by 'Demonization', she bends only two of her front legs and lets out a voice.

''Ah, Nosfi-sama!　Finally, you're here: ......!

　The reactions of the two of them indicate that they are completely under Nosfi's control.

　And perhaps the wolf that Nosfi is now straddling - Sera-san is the same. When I looked at the 'display', I could see the 'purification' of the name and state.
　I heard that Sera-san headed to the Great Holy City before us, but it seems that she had fallen into Nosfi's hands a long time ago.

　Nosfi, who became the temporary master of the knights, directs his angry voice to Elmirad on the rooftop.

''Elmirad, that reaction ....... You've been aiming for this time (and time) all along. ......!　You're imitating like two guys, Aleiss and Helvirshine: ......!　This is why I don't trust male knights!　All that pride is too big to be of any use!　They call it a romance and don't defend a single strategy!

　Nosfi, who should have had all my acquaintances in his hands, looked quite irritated.
　To that reprimand, Elmiraad replied with a cool face and a laugh.

''Hahaha, Nosfi-sama. That's very unexpected. Elmirad Siddharq has always been sincere in his duties. This time this was unplanned and therefore unavoidable. Please understand that I have been unwillingly dragged into a duel.
'This guy is ......!　After fighting so happily, what's the use of having to do it: ......!　It was probably brought up by you anyway, ignoring your schedule: ......!　If there's a next time, let's have the Kingsguard with only women!　Only female knights can be trusted!　They'll do the job exactly right. ......!

　The two men bickered as soon as they came face to face with each other.

　Seeing this, the surrounding townspeople's complexion lightened heartily.
　After all, it's the appearance of the saintly woman who has been in the news lately. I could see the groaning that had been going on for a long time turning into jubilation.

　And in the midst of the sudden change in the situation, I only saw one thing.
　It was the pendant that hung around Nosfi's neck. I'm going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to get the same kind of pendant as the one that Elmiraad is holding in her hand right now, but the same kind of pendant was there.
　I'm not going to be able to get it right. I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one for you.

　Seeing that the things I had entrusted to Snow had been taken away, I called out to her, confirming the seriousness of the situation.

''Nosfi, how did you get here ......?''

　Nosfi is no longer more important than the duel with Elmirad.
　I asked her cautiously as I glared at her, and she replied lightly with amusement.

''...... Huh, hmmm. How?　Lady Kanami, do you really not understand?
'If I could understand, I wouldn't look like this ....... What's wrong with Rastiara and the others ......?
'Hmph. Please don't make that face. Looking at that face, I want to explain it to you right now. It makes me want to explain at length to Uzumi-sama, who doesn't know anything.

　Nosfi twisted around and looked at my impatience with delight.
　I wanted to raise my voice right away, but I patiently continue to listen to her to confirm the situation of my companions.

'It's all thanks to Kanami-sama. First of all, you lifted the flames in the underground city with just a light prompting from the Senate. Then, for speaking about the whereabouts of Tida's magic stone in front of me last night. To top it all off, you took Ryner out of the mansion today. Fufufu, Uzurinami-sama really is very kind ......

　As if to boast, as if to make fun of me, he goes on to list the mistakes I seem to have made.　Three actions that I have done without thinking. It seems that this was an unexpected stroke of luck for Nosfy.

The first thing you can do is to get your hands on a new pair of shoes. Thank you, Uzumi-sama.

　Finally, the name of the person who seems to have created the current situation is mentioned. It was the name of the person with Fafner's 'scripture' that I was going to look for next.

'In the mansion, Mr. Glenn is ......?
Yes, I was there. Actually, I've been there all along.

　Nosfi affirms.

　It wouldn't be impossible.
　When I visited that mansion, everyone assumed that it was safe and secure inside the building. After all, Maria's flames were blazing all around her and not a single insect was allowed to enter.

　But it would be a different story if someone had entered the house even before Maria surrounded it with flames. Then even Maria's flames wouldn't notice it. And I can't use Dimension. Everyone who normally relies on Maria and I for search-and-seek and vigilance is loose in their minds. Exploiting that mental gap, Glenn-san was hiding his breath inside the mansion ......?

　If that's the case, does that mean it wasn't an accident that the visit to Shea today coincided with Elmirad and the others? It's only because they heard my story about the magic stone in "The One Who Stole the Darkness Reason" last night, and thought of the visit at the same time, that's why they did this--.

'Christ!　I don't care about that!　That's what Nosfi says anyway. There's no way to know which one is true!

　Ryner shouted in my ear, and my thoughts came to a halt. Before I knew it, he had stopped blocking Elmirad and the others' escape route and was close by.

　Like me, he recognizes only Nosphy as an enemy and glares at him with a stern expression.
　To that Ryner, Nosphy replies with a look of heartfelt disgust.

'As usual, you can't catch a liner, can you?
'Of course. It's easy to talk about because the enemy general is right in front of you. Defeat that general and that's the end of it ....... Nosfi, how did you manage to get your face in front of us? You're finally out of your bindings, are you distracted?　I'm sorry, but I'm not going to tolerate--!

　Ryner leapt before he could say it.
　He thinks that fighting instead of talking is the best way to counter Nosfy. Clutching the wind around his legs, he headed straight for the rooftops where the enemy was, showing the greatest speed of the day.

　However, in the middle of that leap, a dagger comes flying from among the marketplace townspeople.
　Two at Ryner's throat, with precise aim.

''--!

　The dagger was successfully dodged by Ryner by twisting in the air. However, due to his impossible evasive action, he was unable to climb onto the roof due to the lack of flying distance in his leap.

　Writing his hand on the edge of the window of the house where Nosfi was, Ryner looked at the direction the dagger flew while sticking to the wall.

'The former 'strongest' of the Walker family: ......!　I knew you were there: ......!

　Part of the crowd of townspeople watching the game. At the end of the crowd, there is a man wrapped in a large cloak. It's hard to see because the hood hides his eyes, but it's possible to check my 'display'.

　Noticing my gaze, the man who threw the dagger at me takes the hood off with a look of contemplation.
　There was the frail but kind-looking face I knew.

　Mr. Glenn appeared and shouted first and foremost to Nosfi above his head.

'Master Nosfi: ......!　Reiner, you're right, you're too distracted!　What are you spinning the story about!　Kanami and the rest of you were out of my mind!　We can't take them by surprise!　You said it yourself!　He said the only way to attack Kanami-kun is from outside his consciousness!

　I was still hoping, for a little while, that Mr. Glenn was not the enemy. However, this cry confirms that the person who once helped me by calling me his brother-in-law has become an enemy.

　I was slightly upset, but Nosfi on the roof looked even more upset.

''Wow, I've been exposed ......?　What ......?　Oh, oh, yes, it is indeed ....... Why, now I'm honestly talking about ....... Why ......--

　Nosfi pressed one hand to her forehead and turned her face down a bit.
　With a single word from Ms. Glenn, her good looks from earlier completely disappeared. After confirming this, Ms. Glenn snorted evasively.

''d*mn ......!　Is there a stalking of the earlier battle going around: ......!

　Something is wrong with Nosfi.
　I'm confused by the sudden turn of events after visiting the Legacy house, but perhaps Nosfi's side is just as confused.

　If you look closely, it's not as if either Nosfi or Glenn-san are unharmed.
　The hems of their clothes are scorched and a few scrapes can be seen. There must have been a painful counterattack when they escaped the mansion.

　If both this one and the enemy are confused, then the conditions are even.
　We know it's useless to fight against the manipulated Elmiradoes. Even as a staple of the game, it's the right way to hit the surgeon's nosphy here.

　Deciding that, I try to take a step forward. At that time, seeing me trying to move, Nosfi hurriedly takes the book from his pocket and shouts.

''--Sure, I won't let you do that!　In the name of our Lord, Nosfi Fooziers, I command you!　The Knight Fafner Helvillestein!　Unlock that magic!

　The name shouted is Fafner, the one who steals the reason for the blood, who should be in Hoozeyer's Castle.
　From that name, it is highly likely that the book Nosfi just took out is the example 'Scripture'. Indeed, as explained, it is an old book with a leather cover.

　I'm sure that the "scripture" was the key to the magic.
　I feel the activation of some kind of magic on my skin, and at the same time, I feel some kind of magic release.

　Then, in the midst of the marketplace crowd, a familiar voice can be heard from the opposite direction from where Glen-san was.

''U, eeeee--?

　I turned my eyes towards it and saw Ragne with her hands on her cheeks.
　I thought she was slow to catch up to us, but it seemed she was lurking among the people to see what was going on, seeing what was going on. It's a good idea to have a good time with your friends and family, and if you're on the verge of losing a duel with Elmiraad, you may have planned to intervene. Lagne-chan is that kind of girl.

　Lagne-chan looks flustered and rushes through the crowd to get to me.

''Kanami's brother!　Oh, shit!　The wound that Mr. Fafner was closing up for me is ......!

　Blood was pouring out of the gap between his hands against his cheek.
　It seems that the magic release that Nosfi had mentioned was the stopping of the bleeding that Fafner had applied to Ragne-chan.

　I stop walking towards Nosfi and approach Lagne-chan. Then I immediately take out a thick, clean cloth from my 'belongings' and wrap it around my head and apply a pressure hemostasis.
　As I recall, if a human loses half of their blood - about a few liters - they should die of blood loss. Based on the fuzzy knowledge of that original world, we reduce the amount of blood leaving the body as much as possible.

　Seeing our situation, Nosfi mutters.

''Fufu....... As I thought, Ragne-san was also hiding and aiming for a surprise attack. I, no matter what kind of opponent I am, I won't just let my guard down......

　It seems that the current magic release had the purpose of roasting Lagne-chan.
　However, even after Lagne-chan appears, the blood continues to flow. Seeing that Nosphy has no intention of stopping the bleeding again, I shout while glaring at him.

'Nosfi!　You son of a b*tc*: ......!
Master Uzumi. Only Fafner or I will be able to stop the bleeding. But I won't let Fafner stop the bleeding again. I won't let him do it. From here on out, I will have his Scripture in my possession at all times and I will condemn his magic.

　Nosfi held up the 'Scripture' and expressed his unwillingness to stop Ragne's bleeding.

'Nosfi, if it's me who's wounded, fine. But it's Lagne-chan!　You don't have to go that far against Ragne-chan!
It's the fault of Lady Uzuruwa, who is ...... too strong. There is no longer a being in this world that can defeat you. That's how powerful The One Who Steals the Reason for Dimension is. ...... Therefore, vulnerable me, I will fight you by taking the lives of your acquaintances as hostages around you and manipulating your acquaintances.

　He declares that he's going to end up with a cowardly hand in an imposing manner, and I decide that it's impossible to persuade him to do so here. Immediately I stop relying on Nosfi and explore the method of stopping the bleeding while casting the basic recovery magic on Ragne-chan.

''-- Magic 《Cure Fool》. Lagne-chan, use your recovery magic too, ......!
　--Cure Fool.

　But even with the all-powerful recovery magic of this world, the wound shows no signs of closing at all.
　I bite my teeth as I see blood dripping from the multiple layers of cloths wrapped around me.

It's a good idea to come to me to ask for help when you see that Ragnet-san's wound isn't going to heal, Uzuruha-sama. I'm very much looking forward to seeing Uzumi-sama bowing to you and asking you to please heal her.
I'll lower my head as much as I can!　But you're not going to be able to--!
'Yes. Of course, I won't cure you with that alone. As expected of Uzumi-sama, you know everything I think, don't you?

　Seeing me answering with a distorted face, Nosphy seemed truly happy.
　The expression on her face, as if she lived to see this me, reveals a bit of the true nature of her 'unfinished business'.

　But right now, it's more about stopping Lagune's bleeding than Nosfi's.
　I know that Nosfi won't be able to heal her for free. I'm sure he'll make some kind of condition. What are the conditions for further tormenting me (・・・・・・)--

"--No, I'm not thinking about (・・・・・・・・) conditions (・・・・・)?　All I can think about now is laughing in front of Uzumi-sama as he desperately asks for a cure and repeating "I'll take it into consideration" or "I'll do something about it" or "I'll do something about it" in an appropriate manner. That's all I'm thinking about. Hmmm--oh, just imagining it makes my heart jump very much. A thought that desperately pleads with me, but never reaches me. And Uzumi-sama, who watches his friend's blood continue to flow, weaken and die because of him. ...... Hmph, hmph. Fufu--!
This--!

　They said they wouldn't treat me just to harass me, and I couldn't stop the blood from rising in my head.

''Hmph, do you want to weaken me until I do what you say, like you did to the other guardians (guardians)!　Or do you want to find another way!　Take your pick!　Naturally, I'll do what I want with it!

　I was nearing the end of my patience with Nosfi, who was screaming all he wanted on the roof. That seemed to be the case with Rainer, who was attached to the walls of the house.

'Christ!　Just take away the "Scripture"!　That's the first thing that comes to mind!

　There is a tangible solution.
　It's the Scripture that Nosfi now has in his hand.
　I'm going to move up the priority list and focus on retrieving the "Scripture".

"Ah, ah, ......!　In the end, we'll just get the Scripture back. All we have to do is to get the Scripture back.
''Uzumi-sama, is Fafner's 'Scripture' really the first priority?　Are you sure?　You don't need to see what's going on over there: ......?

　But Nosfi disrupts that concentration.
　He deliberately averts his gaze, saying that he still has a prepared hand.

　You'll be able to see it, too.

　--I'm going to be able to see the pillar of fire that rises to the sky.

　In the streets of the Great Sacred City, a huge flame that exceeds the height of the houses.
　It is clearly visible from the marketplace where we are located, reaching up to the heavens like a tower.

''Hi, a pillar of fire, ......?　...... in the city!　Maybe ......

　With a flame that large, there can't be any natural phenomenon.
　It's clear that the flames were caused by magic. That magical flame is rising up from the direction we've come from.

　We naturally came to one answer.
　Magic flames are leaking from the underground city. And I can only think of one wielder of the flames that can reach the heavens from underground.

''Eek!　It's just as you imagined, Master Uzumi!　Yup, you're all fighting in that underground mall!　That's the aftermath, the aftermath. It's just the aftermath, that's all. Hmmm, you guys are really strong. ...... Oh, by the way, just by looking at it when you left, Rustiala-san was dying. If it continues like that, it might be time for Rastiara-san to be killed by you all.

　That fire was born out of a battle, says Nosfi, and it is Lastiara who is exposed to it.

'You ......!　With the magic you used on Elle and the others, you manipulated everyone!
''No, that's not true. The 《Light Mind》 basically doesn't work against opponents who are close to my level. Furthermore, to be honest, none of the 'charms' worked against these strong-hearted women either. Even if you could use magic to make them "obedient", they would not be able to develop into a conflict if they were too gentle. Even though there is a fierce one deep inside, they are good girls at heart. ...... Yes, it's not so easy to "manipulate" them as Uzumi-sama says ....... I (・・・・・・) can't possibly do it.

　Nosfi admits that he's out of his depth and bites his teeth in deliberate disappointment. However, he quickly loosens his mouth, which is tied into a single character, and continues to talk as if he is proud of himself.

''--Only, fortunately, there was an expert in that place who was even more of a fallback than I was!　I borrowed some magic from that expert in The Talk!　That's all I did!　Hmmm, Uzumi-sama! ......!　It ignites the sludgy emotions at the bottom. Do you have any idea of such magic?

　I have an idea.
　It reminds me of a situation I once found myself in when I fought Maria. To be precise, it was the dialogue of Arti, the 'one who steals the reason for the fire', holding Maria in front of the burning house.
　At that time, Arti had said that he had inspired Maria to be honest. It is very similar to the magic used by Nosfi.

'You borrowed Alti's magic, not Maria's ......?'
'Yes. Properly, Maria had taken her magic and carved it into her blood.

　He simply tells me that he repeated the magic that produced that tragedy.
　I finally yell out in anger at that indiscretion.

'Why did you do that ......!　You didn't hear from Maria!　Arti's magic almost killed Maria and I!　
Of course I know that.
'If you know, how come you know?　You seemed to get along so well with Rastiara and the others!　We were all laughing at each other when I wasn't there--!
'We all have to go to ......?　I'm ......?　Ha, ha, can you please stop doing that ......?　Please, please don't just make a mistake ......!　I like Uzumi-sama better than Rastiara and the others!　I love you, Uzumi-sama!

　But a cry comes back that fills my rage.
　Nosefy throws the words at me without pausing to interrupt or catch his breath.

'You and Mr. Rustyala were good friends!　No, I don't like Mr. Rastiala!　Ms. Rustyala's voice reminds me of that man!　'All together' is good!　I want to live well together!　Haha, hahahaha!　Ba-ka-mi-tea-tea!　It's silly, isn't it!　There's no way you can do that!　You are too conveniently delusional!　Hey, don't you think so too, Uzumi-sama!
......!

　The tremendous momentum of the event consumes me, and conversely, I become calm.

　Then I calmly look at Nosfi's face.
　It doesn't look like she's acting now. I don't know which words have crossed Nosfi's mind, but I feel like something in the pit of her stomach is bursting.

'Maria, Dea, Snow and everyone else!　Of course I don't like Mr. Rustyala for stealing Lady Uzumi!　You must be so disgusting that you want to kill him!　Of course!　Of course it is!　It would be strange if it wasn't!　I just magically made that crazy thing right!

　Nosfi's face was red with excitement, contorted to the limit.
　He's suffocating, he's about to vomit, he's about to cry - but at the same time, he looks sincerely refreshed.

　Nosfi laughs as he lets out all his emotions and regulates his disorganized breathing.
　As usual, a distorted smile for me.

''Haha, hahaha ...... hahaha. Please don't stare at me like that ....... I'm so happy, I'm crying. I'm so happy and happy that I'm really crying ....... Hmmm, hmmm ......

　At last, Nosfi spilled tears from the corners of her eyes. That too unsteady appearance is the very same as the Elmiraad and the others just now - no, the very Fafner we met yesterday.
　As I thought, the current Nosphy is strange. I'm convinced that the plan I mentioned earlier isn't going to work, and that we're in an irregular situation.

...... Huh, hmmm. I love you, Uzumi-sama, I love you. Because I love you, I want to be mean to you. I want to torment you somehow. Because now, just having your hostility and murderous intent summed up in one sentence, I can't stop my heart from pounding in my chest. Just being able to see eye to eye and talk to you - no matter what it is - is enough to make my body tremble with joy.

　Nosfi holds his chest in his hands, tears and a smile stretched across his face as he throws a confession of love.
　It's too dark compared to the confession Rustyala and I made a while ago. It's too painful to watch in the true sense of the word.

''Just talking to Uzumi-sama right now makes my heart throb and soar, and I feel really rich ....... Honestly, I'm so happy to have it all to myself that I can't stand it. ...... Yes, I'm so much happier than being ignored ......!　I'm so much happier than when I was a decent girl, doing everything I said, yes, yes, yes, yes, and doing all the right things, doing all the right things, doing all the right things, doing all the right things, doing all the right things, doing all the right things for you, and still you didn't even look at me!　Hmmmmm... So, I have no choice but to do this!　It's all Uzumi-sama's fault for being so mean like this and everything!　Everything, everything, it's all Uzumi-sama's fault!　Hmmm, hahahahahahahahahahaha!　Haha, hahahaha ......--

　I'm going to find out how much frustration has been building up in Nosfi's chest now for real.
　She loves me, but at the same time she strongly resents me.
　I realize how bulky it is.

　In the middle of her confession, Nosfi's laughter gradually faded. Gradually, she drops her gaze downward, and her reply to me turns into a question to herself.

''Ha, ha, ha, ha ....... Why won't Uzuraha-sama look at me ......?　Why, why, why, why - I'm alone in that room ......?　Why--

　The next thing I know, my eyes lose focus and just repeat the same words.

　I'm not sure if I should move in the face of that Nosphy.
　To be honest, I don't know if Nosphy is weak or on the verge of exploding. Even that belligerent liner was unable to move when he saw her now.

　The first person to move was Mr. Glenn, who had been mixed up with the people downstairs.
　With a single leap, she moved onto the roof and took off her cloak, revealing her 'demonized' appearance just like Elmirad and the others. From a distance, there is little change. Both eyes have changed into something unique to the insects, and there is only something that looks like a needle sticking out of the base of his wrist.

''Nosfi-sama!　Excuse me for a moment!

　Mr. Glenn walks up next to a frenzied Nosphy, kneels down, and sticks the needle in her arm.

　Then Nosphy's body trembling and laughing slowly subsided. The effect is as if she's been sedated with a syringe.
　Setting his wobbly gaze, Nosphy turns his face to Glenn and thanks him.

'--Ha, ha, ha, ha ....... Thank you for your help, Glenn. I let you become a 'demon' for nothing ....... Maybe the 'price' of 'chanting' is tougher than I thought....... If you don't have a stronger heart, you're going to end up like the Lord: ......
'Please catch your breath before you thank me. Even with my venom, it's hard to keep Master Nosfi at bay now.

　From what they both said, it was clear that Mr. Glenn was a mixture of monsters with some kind of poison. He probably used that poison as a medicine to calm Nosfi's mind. Mr. Glenn is most likely an insect-shaped monster that can handle multiple types of poisons at will.

　After calming the Lord down, Glenn-san stands up and points his alien yellow eyes at me.
　Then, instead of Nosfi, Glenn-san continues to talk to us.

''Kanami-kun, now that's her 'honest' true feelings. Nosfi-sama used too much 'chanting' of light in the fight against Rustyala-chan and the others, and as 'compensation', she's even more 'honest' than us knights.

　...... Is that now Nosfi's 'honest' state of mind?
　I frowned at him, wondering if I could believe his story, and he began to explain with a kind look on his face.

'The more you chant the 'chanting' of the light, the more your mind is cleansed. I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to get it right. In other words, the use of light magic will erase the walls of your mind and fill the world with people who don't doubt others.
'Glenn, wait. ....... What are you talking about without permission ......

　That explanation was probably not planned for the Lord, Nosfi. Wobbling, Nosphy tries to stop glaring at the knight who exposes his hand without permission.
　But Glenn-san doesn't stop. I'm not going to be able to get it done, but I'm going to be able to get it done while continuing to show a kind face to me and Nosfi.

'...... Okay, that's it. Well then, Mr. Raydiant, it's time to get away. Nosfi-sama's 'cost' is more serious than I thought, and our camp can no longer hide it. The more time passes, the more details of the plan will leak out of Lady Nosfi's own mouth. ...... It's a bit premature, but the operation is about to begin.

　The giant wolf that carries Nosfi on its back - Glenn places his hand on Sera's shoulder and asks her to move from here. Nosphy's voice gets louder because of the way he ignores the Lord without thinking of him as the Lord.

''So, what's your business ......!　The Lord is me, ......!
''Nosfi-sama, it's okay. The plan was for Kanami-kun or Rustyala-chan to be the one bleeding, not Ragune-san, but ...... with Uzurinami-kun's personality, it wouldn't change much, would it?　No, on the contrary, it might be better. Don't you think so?

　Finally, Mr. Glenn replied to Nosfi.
　His tone was gentle, as if he was softly enveloping her. Unlike Elmiraad, one could certainly feel the will to calm the excited Lord.

　Nosefy took a slow, deep breath as he realized that he was being worried, and answered quietly.

'So ....... You're right, the outcome will not change ....... You are Uzurinami-sama, who is more important to others than yourself. If you are very kind Uzurinami-sama, I am sure you will come ...... for the girl there. I'm sure ......

　With that, Nosfi finally turned his eyes to the Hoozeyards Castle in the center of the Great Holy City. He showed his defenseless back, showing his will to leave like this.

　If he wanted to pounce on that back, he could. But I can't ignore the pillar of fire that rises at the edge of my vision.

　I'm not sure if she was annoyed by my continued footsteps, but Lagune-chan next to her - whether to fight Nosphy now or to regain her position once more - rushes to make a choice.

''Kanami's brother!　What are you going to do in the end?　I'll see my brother!　You can't win on your own anyway!

　Ragne would like to crowd Nosfi right now and ask him to treat the bleeding in her cheek. But it's not easy to do that, which is evident from Nosphy's statement earlier.

　However, the other party is 'the one who steals reason'.
　It's difficult to force them to do what you say by force.
　Above all, the battlefield is too favorable to the other side.

　Right now, the Great Sacred City was under Nosfy's control.
　Despite the fact that Nosfi is wielding so many vulgar words and actions from above, the people gathered in the marketplace continue to admire the saint.
　It's a clear sight to see that they are all 'enchanted'. Probably the same state of affairs should be true for the Hoozeyards Castle waiting for us down the road.
　The pillar of fire isn't the only reason for the footsteps.

　Seeing me unable to move due to such a variety of factors, Glenn-san seems to have decided that he doesn't have the will to chase after me.
　With plenty of time to spare, he breaks off a long goodbye speech.

'Kanami-kun, I want you to hear one last thing: ....... Now, Master Nosfi is trying to settle everything with an unlikely amount of courage. Please, Kanami, I'm asking you to be brave enough to make a choice. I've heard from Fafner-sama that you're just as ragged from 'chanting' as Nosfi-sama is. I heard that the terminally ill 'Stealers of Reason' can't even properly recognize what they're doing themselves: ....... --and yet we (...) believe you can do it.

　I can tell by the sound of Mr. Glenn's voice that he's supporting me, even though he's going around the enemy. He's also worried about me. --only the content of that concern was new to me.

　I'm ripped apart by 'chanting' ......?　You don't recognize what you're doing ......?　Of course, I don't remember being troubled by such symptoms.

"I'll be waiting for you and your friends at the Fuzzyards Castle. "I'll be waiting for you and your friends at Fuzzyards Castle. "I'll be waiting for you and your friends at Hoosier's Castle. ...... So long, I'm done!

　With that, Serra, with Glenn and Nosfi on board at the end of the ride, ran out onto the roof. By the end, Nosphy looked at me with a backward look on his face, but he left without saying a word.

　The demons on the ground followed, trying to get out of the marketplace.
　Perciona-san, who collected Noir-chan and put her on her back, scolded Elmirado.

''We're going too, Lord Siddharq!
'Any more selfishness or ....... I can't help it, I'll see you later!　Kanami!

　Elmirad and the others are also leaving us and running away.

　While watching the backs of their departing enemies, I look at Lagune next to me. To be precise, I check the condition of the wound on her cheek.
　Perhaps sensing my thoughts, she answers me about the condition of the wound before she asks me.

...... I think it's going to last quite a while. The wound doesn't close up, but continuing to apply the "Cure Fool" seems to counteract the anemia. That's why you can give priority to the ladies.
'I'm sorry, Ragne, ....... I want to go back to the mansion first. At the very least, I need to make sure that we're really in a battle .......

　From the looks of it, Ragne won't be dying any time soon. There is still time to stop the blood, if not stop it.
　But the mansion is different. If the flames are enough to reach the ground, the level of casualties will be high. There's no room to put it off.

　That decision was the same for Ryner as well, and he comes down from the sticky wall and joins us.

I agree with ...... Christ. It's not realistic to deal with five demons and two 'reason-stealers' with just Christ and the two of them. If you go to the castle, there will definitely be traps.
Let's get back to the house. Let's get back to the house in the basement where everyone is.

　I stop looking at the back of the departing enemy and turn back to the way I came.

'Uss!'
Yes, sir.

　In response to the two knights' responses, I run out.
　Passing through the buzzing crowd, I run straight through the fire pillar that rises in the sky as a landmark - straight to the underground mall without turning aside.
