The very large courtyard of Mattoo's mansion is filled with soldiers and anxious civilians who have been evacuated. In the midst of it all, Nina works devotedly, comforting each of them as Mattoo's daughter and encouraging them all to get rid of their fears.

(They're all fighting ... and I'll fight with what I can.)

　Nina found a girl there who seemed to have gotten separated from her parents and quickly ran over to her and bent down and approached the crying girl. She responded to the girl, whose face was wet with tears, with a gentle expression and stood up, holding her hand.

'Come on, it's okay, okay?　Let's go find me and your mother. Right now, your amazingly strong brother and sisters will take out all the bad guys that come close to this city. Then you can go home with your mom right away.

Are you sure?

　The girl looks up at Nina's face.

'It's true. So let's go. To find your mother.

Yeah!

　Nina pulled away from the girl's hand with a loud voice, loud enough to be heard over the hustle and bustle around her, as her eyes searched for the mother who would now be desperately looking for this girl.
　Then Nina looked around frantically at the back in front of her and saw a woman shouting the name of what she thought was her daughter in a loud voice.

'Is that your mother?'

'Oh!　Your mother!

　The girl let go of Nina's hand and started to run towards the woman.
　Nina looked relieved at the figure and smiled.
　.........then
　Nina felt an unearned sense of discomfort and clutched her own chest with her right arm.

(What?　(This feeling ... like something is being lost...)

　The indescribable sensation confused Nina.
　It was as if something irreplaceable was being sucked out of her.
　For a moment, the face of the boy with that unreliable smile flashed in her mind.
　The boy who had thrown himself into a fight for their own sake, a fight that was of no benefit to him.
　That boy was close to my heart and gave me the opportunity to do this now.
　But even though the boy's figure gradually disappeared and Nina's heart screamed, the figure still faded from Nina's consciousness.
　As if in a huff, Nina looked up and looked around.
　This feeling is hard to accept. I can't ever be swept away, Niina thinks for some reason.

''Yuto!

　Nina unconsciously raised her voice in the direction of the northern sky.

''Sis, what's going on?''

What?

　There, the girl from earlier was looking up at Nina, who was looking up at her mother and looking worried about something wrong with her.

'Thank you, Nina-sama!　My daughter told me. How can I thank you!

　Niina makes a soft face and responds to the woman who desperately bows her head. 'We must not do anything to make the confused citizens of Minra feel even a little uneasy right now,' she said.

'No, don't worry about it. Hmph, good for you, you can't leave your mother anymore, okay?　Besides, we'll be home soon.

'Yes!　You've got an amazingly strong brother and sister!

...Brother?

　Nina gives her a dubious look for a moment, but quickly smiles back at the girl.

'Right!　Don't worry, you'll have a lot of strong sisters.　Now, let's go to the sheltered space over there. Is there anything I'm missing?

Oh, yes, thank you. Well there are some people who have been told that they are a little short on milk for their babies.

Okay. I'll get it for you in a minute.

　When he said that, Nina quickly moved away from the scene.
　But for some reason, something that Nina doesn't understand the reason for is stuck in her mind.
　It's that girl's casual words.

(....................An incredibly strong older brother?

　Nina shook her face as if to shake it off, and threw herself into her own battle, not caring so much about what the child said.



　Right now, a powerful demonic beast was about to appear in the vast space at the farthest end of the cave in the middle of Gulwa Mountain.
　The demon beast has already exposed its upper body from the darkness, and although it may seem cramped, it is slowly and surely about to reveal its entire body to this world.
　When the gazes of Yuto and Garum standing in front of it crossed, Garum unfurled his massive jaws and was about to let out a roar that could turn his body into dust with just that.
　But Yuto stared at Garum's roar and didn't move.
　The warriors who had scattered in the demon world and the beloved girl had appeared in Yuto's mind.
　The words of Lokiarum from earlier in the head of that Yuto were a wooden spirit.

"Give that life for sustenance.......be useful with that life......."

　
　Now.........the darkness that lived inside of Yuto dyed Yuto's heart black and led him to the deepest part of the jet-black darkness.
　Yuto's expression completely disappeared, and the overwhelming killing intent that covered Yuto was carried by that dark, sharp eye light and directed at Garum.
　Yuto's right foot took a step forward.

"Yuto........."

　Yuto opened his eyes.
　Suddenly, there was an auditory hallucination or a blank sound in Yuto's ears.......a very nostalgic and yet comforting girl's voice.

"We'll always be watching over you, Yuto........"

　A small light shines out from the depths of the darkness that covers Yuto's heart.
　Its impossible to mishear, Lieselotte's voice.
　Yuto's expression returns to his face and his vision expands.
　The faces of the irreplaceable friends who are now treasured emerged in the chest of Yuto.
　
　And Mizuho and Marion, who are now my classmates and comrades in arms.
　All of them are friends who uniformly know me, friends who remind me of myself.
　

(That's right ... this is not my revenge. It's me ... as of right now!　I'm doing something that I feel strongly about doing. Liese!　I can't forgive these people. They trample on other people's thoughts for their own purposes and look down on people's lives and souls as if they were trash!　So I...!

　In Yuto's mind, the face of Mattoo, who gave his life to this millimer with a tragic resolve, and Guaran, who was scattered among them, comes to mind.
　And then.........Nina's sobbing face was reflected in Yuto's mind.
　Yuto glared at Garum with a raw face and ginned at him.
　Yuto held out his hands.
　Instantly..........a black shadow containing powerful magic power appeared on the right half of Yuto's body and began to erode Yuto himself. And that shadow wriggled as if it was clinging to Yuto with a zapper, and even reached the eyeball of his right eye.

''........!

　When Garum noticed the change in Yuto, he condensed the magic power he had accumulated and let out a roar that could destroy this underground space.
　Yuto's hands held the jet black long sword ETI-Kuro and the platinum sword ETI-White, and a tremendous amount of sensual ki erupted from Yuto's central axis.



　Lokiarum was quietly recovering in the hidden room.



　He used more power than he thought to summon Garum.
　If it wasn't for this magic field, Lokiarum realized that it would still have been impossible to summon it.

(But I have done it!　(If only Garum were here ... this unpleasant world can no longer ignore us!

　As Lokiarum thought about it, Garum's second roar was unleashed, and the walls of the hidden room collapsed slightly.

''Kukuku, that little boy, how do you keep it up against a perfect body Garum........ But a futile struggle........m!　What the hell!　This power!　This is.....

　Muttering that, the rock doorway to the hidden room in front of Lokiarum shattered with a roaring sound.

''Nah!''

　Lokiarum couldn't read the situation and, stunned, his eyes were drawn to the figure that gradually emerged from the shattered rock door.

'You are!　What the hell?　What the hell?　What does that mean?!

　The debris and dust of the destroyed doorway rock door disappears and the boy with two swords is visible there.

(What?)　What is it?　What is it?　What the hell!　What?　This is an illusion!　(Call it the enemy's mental attack, if you will!

'Hey, what are you talking about, man? Have you already forgotten?　I'm here to take you down with hypocrisy and drunkenness, rank D.

　Lokiarum can't understand what Yuto is saying.
　Yes, he can't understand.
　Because even though he was a Daoist, he put a full-bodied super demonic beast Garum on this inexperienced and cocky little boy.
　How could this situation exist, it couldn't possibly happen.
　Behind Yuto, there is a large hole in this hidden room that was created because of Yuto's destruction.
　Beyond that large hole, Lokiarum saw an unbelievable sight.
　There, a gigantic demonic beast of more than ten or so meters in size was torn into four equal parts from nose to tail, up and down, left and right, and turned into dust.
　At this time, Lokiarum finally sensed the power blowing up from the body of the boy standing in front of him.

''Na!　Oh, my God!　Spiritual and magical powers!　How can this come from you, a Taoist?　No, why, spiritual and magical power at the same time!　And this is a mighty force!

'It's none of your business. It's over this time there's no more procedure or anything, right?

　Yuto slowly approaches Lokiarum.
　Lokiarum is at the height of his confusion, unable to collect his thoughts.

''Hold on!　Wait for me!　I can't end here!　Yes!　Why don't you join us?　That way, you'd have that much power, rank D, etc.!

　At Lokiarum's suggestion, Yuto gritted his teeth and released his spirit.

''You lowly summoner!　Listen to me, you lowlife.......if you're going to beg for your life, why don't you feel it against them too!　How can you say that your purpose, your thoughts, come before anything else!　You're not the only one!　We're all struggling to survive in this crippled world!　What you've done is your own life!　You can't redeem the lives and livelihoods of all the people you've trampled on so far!

　As Yuto said it, a tentacle-like blood snake and both arms blew off from Lokiarum's lower half of his body.
　Without time to scream, Lokiarum, who was once again down to only his upper body and dropped to the ground, looked at Yuto, who was looking down at him with tears in his eyes.
　The current Lokiarum is not calm enough to grasp this incomprehensible situation. Here, Lokiarum senses his own death coming to that point, and an unbearable fear envelops Lokiarum's entire body.
　At that time, Lokiarum could see a stream of power spewing out of Yuto.

(This, this........what a........)

Wait, wait!　You are using your own existence to harness this power!　Nonsense!　No one will ever remember you for that!　You're okay with that!　For what did you fight me!

　Yuto shifts his eyes to Lokiarum as if he were looking at something trivial.

'You won't gain anything by fighting over that much stuff!　Praise!　And honor!　And thanks!　Is that what you are?!

Are you stupid?　You're....

What?

　Lokiarum doesn't know the true meaning of Yuto's response to those words.

''What does it get you?''

　Yuto turned his eyes to Lokiarum with no trace of compassion.

''Okay?　Listen, I'll tell you again. I came here for my own hypocrisy and drunkenness. Only to see the tears of one little girl.

What?　Wha........

'The girl's thoughts, unlike yours, were on the future of everyone living in Millamar, not just herself. And you had no reason or context for that future!　He tried to destroy it with a show of self-promotion!　You have no idea why I'm here. I've received the thoughts of those Millers who chased a worthy future!

　Lokiarum no longer had the ability or strength left to overturn the situation.
　All this boy would have to do was add a single sword and he would be dead.

'I don't need your thanks I'm not here. My actions are mine. And even if those feel-good people forget me I'll just make sure I'm remembered again. I've already got the courage to do that too.

Die ... my death?　No!　I'm scared!　My future!　(My glorious path is cut off!

　Lokiarum started to tremble under Yuto's cold gaze, and Yuto held the swords in both hands up in his palm.
　Then the two swords sank into the palm of Yuto's hand and disappeared.
　Lokiarum did not understand the meaning of Yuto's actions. Why would he put the swords away?
　But Lokiarum thinks that this little boy could be........

(This guy........has never killed a person before.......?　(If it is...)

　Lokiarum's expression didn't change, but he felt like he had found a glimmer of light in his heart. This sweet little boy who had never once laid a hand on a person might be thinking of catching himself.
　 His body unconsciously begins to tremble.

''There may have been a mistake in the procedure, but I don't regret it in any way.

Hee!

The only thing I could think of to finish you off was how to finish you off and that's all I cared about.

　Yuto unbuttoned his shirt and put his right hand in his pocket.
　Then he took out a pistol from that pocket.
　That pistol was prepared by Nina in order to take revenge on Lokiarum. Yuto had brought that pistol from Nina's room to this place.
　When she lost her own father and cried tears of frustration at her own helplessness, the girl had probably grasped that weapon for the first time in her life, Yuto grabbed the weapon and unfastened the safety lock.......

''Nah, hi!''

　Yuto pointed its muzzle at Lokiarum's forehead.
　Lokiarum's pitiful scream went up.
　Lokiarum understands.
　What would happen if I, who had already used my strength to the very edge, received this bullet.......



　Immediately afterwards, the sound of several bullets fired rang out from the deepest part of the cave in the middle of Gurwa Mountain.
