Yuto swung his sword as if he were dancing among the crowded demons. And every time that Yuto swung his sword, multiple youkai demons let out a decisive cry.

(Striking around the demon wolves capable of medium-range attacks!　Close range types should be able to do some damage with a single sword!　(Reducing the number of demon wolves should increase everyone's chances of survival!

　Yuto aimed at the demon wolves and moved, while also inflicting deep wounds on the demons on the move. The yuto's aim gradually took effect, and the attacking pressure of the demon demons on the matou and the others on the hill was clearly reduced.
　Thanks to this, the soldiers were also able to just focus on attacking, and succeeded in reducing the speed at which the demons climbed up the hill.

''It's like dancing!　Yuto-kun!

'Yes!　Every time Master Du Du takes a step, a shower of enemy blood is spraying out!

　That exchange between Matou and Theintan was enough to swell the hopes of the soldiers around them.
　In the midst of all this, Matou looked to check on Guaran's condition as he lay behind him and bit his navel, wrinkling his brow. The light of life clearly seems to be fading from that severely injured Guaran's form. It's gradual, but I can definitely see Guaran's life force fading away.

(Guaran!　Don't die here!　You haven't even seen Nina grow up yet!　Guarán Seth Yen!　Are you okay with that?　(You'll go away without seeing what happens to the Millmar you and Thornain tried to protect, and your own daughter, who you gave away to me so that I wouldn't have to risk my life for it!

　Mattow remembers that day the day after he lost Thornain the day after he lost Guaran and his vows on this hill.


　Thirteen years ago now.
　The hill that the three of us named Niina Hill.
The sky above that hill of Nina was covered with thick, dim clouds, and two young Millimer officers were staring at each other in front of a large tree at the top of the hill.

'What did you just say!　Guarang!

I will ... eat into the heart of this military government. By any means necessary.

　Mattoo heard Guaran's words and before he could think, his body moved and grabbed Guaran's collar hard.

'You're insane!　To this rotten Kaliguda military regime!　To the regime that killed Thornain!　You're kidding me!　Are you out of your mind!

'I'm serious. I'm going to rise to the occasion and put down deep roots in this administration and take power at any cost!

You stupid bastard!

　Mattoo punched Guaran away, and Guaran's body slammed hard against the trunk of a large tree, causing him to slump to the ground.

'You!　You!　How could you not know how Thornain feels!　There's no way ThorNine would want that!　Thor Nine is just!　I just wanted a kinder life!　You're there, and I'm watching your daughter, Nina, smile as she grows up healthy beside you. That's all it should have been!　What would you accomplish by joining the military regime that killed that Thornain!　And what is young Nina going to do about it!

'I know that!　But Thor Nine is gone!　All that's left is the corrupt power structure of this country and a big, indelible hole in this heart!　So I change what I can change!　This hole in my heart is not going away!　But we can change this country!　No matter how hard it is, it's actually out there!　I'm going to change that!

Don't make that shit up!　You don't think that's possible!　Then tell me that you're going to bring in more people and crush this country by force!　Tell me you're going to take out the enemies of Thor Nine!　If that's the case, I'm happy to help. Right now, dissatisfaction with the center of power is smoldering like never before. If we can successfully incite them to join forces and denounce them, we will become a force that cannot be ignored!

　Mattoo and Guaran glared at each other, and then these two hit each other with the deep heartbreak of losing Thornain, a wound that would never heal.

'Yes I will crush this military regime!　So give me strength, Mathew!

What if?

　Guarán stood up, wiping the blood from his cut lip. The rain finally began to fall from the thick clouds. The rain was a blessing to the plants and trees. The glossy dark greenery and colorful flowers that showed up on a sunny day were only possible because of this blessed rain, they were taught in Millamar.

It's not enough to beat them from the outside. It may be possible to defeat it, but it will take time. Besides.....

　Guaran was hit by the rain, which was now pouring down hard, and he walked up to Mattoo.
　Guaran and Matou could see each other firmly through the heavy rain, which was making their vision unsure.

'It is inevitably going to be a long battle that will plague the people of Millmar. This is not what Thornain wanted. This will only make Thornain sad.

....

"Mathew, that's why I'm going to bite the bullet!　You rally the disaffected people in the country, and then we'll have a big flow!　I'm going to cut the regime down from within!　That will drive the Caliguda pigs inside and out!

Guarán you....

　Matw saw the uncommon determination in the eyes of his best friend, Guaran. The fierce anger, palaver, and sadness in the normally calm and collected Guaran was now crashing into Matou like a great wave.

'I don't know if it's going to work!　Also, I know it's impossible to not bleed at all if it works!　But it takes a major disease to minimize the blood of the people, and to undermine this worthless center of government. Me!　It will be a major disease that will consume this administration!　Slowly but surely advancing to the source of an incurable disease!

　Guarán grabs Matw's shoulder forcefully.

'Matw!　You are going to be the hero of this nation's millennium!　Always stand on the side of the people, always be desired by the people of the Millenials, and bring down the evil military regime with me!

'Hey!　You're not going to....

　Guaran gives Mattoo a fierce smile.

'It's best to burn the pathogens that have consumed the host, along with the corpse. And use it as fertilizer to create rich soil!

　Mattoo grabbed Guaran's arm, which grabbed his shoulder.

'Bah, don't be silly!　Then what about Nina!　She lost her mother yesterday, and today she's going to lose her father too!　If you're going to be the nursery of this country, if you don't protect your only daughter, how will you change Millmar?　Enrichment!　Nina is a forgotten memento of Thornain!

　Guaran stares back at Mattoo, who is staring at him, and then laughs with a huff.

'Nina will not lose her father.'

What?

Mathew, you're here.

!

Mathew, please!　I want you to be her father to Nina!　Let that girl be the daughter of the hero who saves this Millimer!　The path I'm on is a military regime center where the enchantment lives. If I take Nina with me, there's a good chance she'll be in danger as my weakness. I don't need anything to protect me on the path I'm on.

"Gu, Guaran you are....

　Guarán looked at Mathew as if clinging to him.

'I can only ask you to love the same woman and be bound to her, and you're still as close to me as you are to me!　Please, Mathew!　Nina!　Protect my daughter!　And give your life to me, this me, and this Millmar, to make this Millmar the smiling nation Thornain wanted it to be!

　Mattoo stared at Guaran often. In Guaran's determined and determined eyes, he found a deep love for his daughter that he could not abandon.

'Guaran it's too early to cry. Save those tears until you overthrow the military regime and save your niina ... your daughter ... until the time you come for her here in Minra with your heart in your hands!

　Mattoo said and punched Guaran again.
　Mattoo looks down at Guaran as he crawls to the ground and lets out a loud cry.

'Listen, Guaran!　When did you become so humble!　Be the greediest you can be!　Don't give up on this country or Nina or both!　That's just the way you are, and I know that's what Guaran Seth Yen does best!　Just like when he took Thor Nine's heart at the last minute!

　Guaran looked up at Matou as if in a huff. And then .................Matou quietly held out his hand to that Guaran.

'Let's go Guaran, we're on our way!　It is, after all, the hill that brought Thornain and the three of us together here on this united hill. And we (...) will make our (...) daughter Nina's future a good one for the youth of the millennium!

　At this time, the rain that had fallen from the thick clouds weakened, and through the gaps in those clouds, several streaks of light appeared, illuminating the land of Millimer, and these streaks of light came down on this hill of Niina.




　After this, these two young men changed their ages to almost ten years older, keeping in mind the seniority that is customary for Millimer. This was often done in Millmar, where household registration information was often underdeveloped, but it was rarely more than ten years old.
　And at this time, it was greatly assisted by Aroucaune and Galvan, who were Mathew and Guarin's superiors at the time, who were instrumental in this age adjustment.
And few of them know about this anymore.
