"Help me ......!


　Rashevara jumped straight into my chest.
　She jumped into my chest and hugged me tightly like a lover.

"La-la-zevara!

　I called out to her, but she remained stone-faced in the embrace and showed no signs of moving.
　The peachy scent of Lazevala tickled the bridge of my nose.

　It's not that I have a problem with being hugged by .......
　But the feel of Rashevara's skin is making me nervous.

And for now, get away from me, Razevala.
"............
I'll listen to you. You can't talk to me unless I step away.
............

　No matter how much I talked to him, there was no sign of an answer from Rashevara.

　I'm in trouble. .......

　I scratched my cheek, wondering what to do.

"Hmmm, you're still the same. You haven't changed a bit in a thousand years.

　He slowly pulled his face away.
　We're still in contact, though, aren't we?

"Nothing's changed?　Oh, you noticed. Yes, I've regained the power I had a thousand years ago. ......
That's not what I meant.

　"That's not what I meant." Before he could finish, he denied it.

You still have a weakness for girls, don't you?
What?
"When I hug you like this, you immediately panic. That's the kind of cute thing that hasn't changed in a thousand years.

　Muggy.
　Once again, Rashevara buried her face in my chest.

"Mmm, your smell. It's been a long time. It's a relief.
"No, stop!

　I grabbed Rashevara by both shoulders and forced her away.
　I thought she would resist, but surprisingly she complied immediately.

I'll leave it at that.

　She smiles mischievously with her hands behind her back.

I'll leave it at that. I wonder if she's upset because she thinks she's going to get her owner.

　Kitten?
　...... is!

　I turned around, fearful of the presence, and there it was: .......

"Stay away from Kurt. ......!

　I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not.

It's not a big deal. It's just skin-to-skin.
Cynthia didn't see it that way.

　Gogogo.......
　There seemed to be a flame burning between them.

　Mm-hmm.
　Maybe I was too shaken up from Lazevala's hug to notice such deadly energy.
　I'm not ready yet.
　I've got to break this habit soon.

I've got to get out of this habit.

　I was not going to be able to keep up with the conversation at this point, so I forced myself to change the subject.

"It's Rashebara. What's going on right now? You don't have time to be fighting with Cynthia, do you?

　I asked, and Razevala turned around to look at me.

Yes, you're right. Bagnuba's power is starting to leak out.
"Oh. ......

　But wouldn't it be foolish to ask ...... if Bagnuva had been sealed away?

　Did you get my drift?

"Kurt's right. It's because I didn't seal it properly. I thought I could keep it for another year, but ...... it's no good. I'm afraid the seal is going to break any minute now.

　He gritted his teeth in frustration.

The dark clouds over the city and the dragons that have appeared are most likely part of the power ...... of Bagnuva that has begun to leak out.

　Razevala nodded her head at my guess.

You're right. I've never lambasted Bugnuba, but ...... I'm not done yet either. Still, I misjudged the power of Bagnooba.
"No, it can't be helped.

　In the first place, evil gods are different from ordinary beings.
　They are a different kind of being than little things like Phombasques and Aurelians.
　It's understandable that Razevala would have misjudged their power.

　Besides, .......



"It seems that during the last thousand years. It seems that during the last thousand years of being sealed away, Bagnuba has grown even more powerful.

　When I said this, Razevala rolled her eyes in surprise.

"Yeah, yeah. That's right. That's right. I can't believe you read that much into it.
"Goodness, who do you think I am?

　He hasn't just been sealed up for a thousand years, either. ......
　You can get a bird's eye view of the whole thing by looking at Bugnuba's leaked magic.

"Kurt. I'm not sure how much of the total power of the bagnuba is leaking right now?

　Cynthia asked anxiously.

Well, ......, it's probably only a hundredth.
"Oh, a hundredth?
What's the matter, Cynthia? What's the matter, Cynthia? You seem unusually surprised for Cynthia.
...... Even Cynthia is surprised.

　Cynthia puffs up her cheeks.

Cynthia puffs out her cheeks, "Because you can call in a dragon with only a hundredth of the power?
Yes.
That's a lot of power, isn't it ......?
No, it's no big deal.

　That's the truth.
　If it's me who hasn't regained the power I had a thousand years ago, or if it's me now, then there's no need to worry about Bagnuba.

"Okay, Razevala. Let's get rid of Bagnuba.
You're awfully light.
Of course.
I'm sorry Kurt, but Bagnuba's too powerful right now. I don't know if even you can beat him. That's why I didn't want Kurt and Bugnuba to meet.
I told you.　I told you, if you're a peace-loving man, I'll give you what you want, too.
"You said that at .......

　Rashevara chuckled.

I'll unseal it completely.

　Eventually, she says, as if she's made up her mind.

"I know it's a silly question, but you're ready for it.
"Mm.
"...... If you're in danger, run. You are the only hope for ...... humanity, for the whole world.
Haha, I'll run?

　There's no way that's going to happen, even by any chance.
　Rashevara has a funny way of saying that.

I'll go.

　Then I'll go." With that, Razevara put his knees on the floor and crossed his arms.
　The entire room is lit up by a magic circle.

"Wow, that's some ...... magic circle!

　Cynthia was astonished when she saw it.

　It's an elaborate magic circle.
　It must have been drawn by the soul of Lazevara, who has loved beauty and tried to preserve peace for a thousand years.
　I know it.

"............!

　Razevala's face twisted in pain.
　No matter how much magic you've created, it's extremely difficult to break a seal of this magnitude. It may even be painful.

　But...

"Razevara. I'll help you.

　He gently placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Almost there. Just break the seal and I'll take care of the rest.
"...... Yeah.

　Razevara felt her shoulders lose all strength.


　The seal was lifted.


　That was the moment.
　It was at that moment that Bagnuba's power leaked out, covering the entire room in darkness.


"Well, Bagnuba. My power far surpasses yours. A foolish god who can do nothing but destroy should be completely destroyed here.
