The one who saved me was not the guardian hero Haruto-sama, but the wise Harut-sama.

　It seems that Harut-sama saved me by slashing off the arm of the demon with the great sword he held in his hand, which was as tall as he was.

　You're a wise man, so why are you using a sword?
　How can you wield a large sword with one hand?
　Where did you get that sword from?
　You didn't have that when you rescued me outside the Holy City, did you?

　I wanted to ask a lot of questions, but I couldn't speak because the demon's arm kept tightening around my neck even after it was cut off.

　The demon's arm was squeezed by Master Hurt and made it disappear.

　I could see that he wore the magic power of the holy attribute on his arm, but........

　I couldn't believe that I could make a part of the demon's body disappear.

　The unbelief still continued.

　The sword that Harut-sama was holding was the Breaker's Treasure Sword, the 'High Kingdom'.

　It was a sword that was supposed to be kept strictly in Alheim (the Elven Kingdom) and could only be handled by brave men.

　From the fact that the demon is taking time to regenerate the arm that was cut off, there is no doubt that the sword is the real thing.

　That's not all.

　Harut-sama used 'Transference'.

　When he transitioned to the demon's immediate vicinity with no motion, he cut off the demon's newly regenerated arm again.

　Transference is also a skill that only a limited number of heroes can use.

　Could it be that.........Halt-sama is a brave person?

You're not a brave man, are you?

　It looks like the devil thought the same thing.

I'm a hero from another world.
What?

　You can have a supreme power, you can transition.

　Looking at the situation, it's not surprising that Harut-sama is a brave man, but even so, a voice of surprise was leaked out.

　I had heard that Harut-sama was a wise man.

　However, that's not all. The reason I was surprised was because when he said he was a brave man, his appearance overlapped with that of his guardian, Haruto-sama.

　Haruhito-sama and Harute-sama - they have the same name.
　Such a coincidence....

　But their faces are completely different, and Hurt-sama has beautiful blue eyes.

　All the brave men from other worlds are characterized by their black eyes.

　That's why I couldn't honestly believe it when they told me that Master Haruto was a hero.


　Besides, the flame knight, who was so powerful and magical, was easily defeated and his hopes were just dashed.

　It's hard to think of a simple way to 'save the day' anymore.

　I couldn't believe the words of Master Harte, even though he told me it was going to be all right.

　I don't want my heart to be shaken any more.

　And yet...


Let me protect you.

　........It's unfair.

　The figure of Harut-sama, who turned his back to me and said that, was completely that of a guardian hero-sama.

　Guardian hero-sama had the skill to become stronger when there was someone to protect behind him.

　Therefore, he was saying the words 'Let me protect you' to the person he was about to protect. By doing so, both he and the person he was trying to protect would be able to recognize that they were the target of his protection and activate the skill.

　You don't often say "Let me protect you" to someone who is trying to help you, do you?

　So it's no wonder that you think of Harut-sama as a guardian hero who said those words.

　You think that's a "relief", don't you? You believe the words "it's going to be all right"!


　I want to be sure.

　But I'm afraid to find out the truth.

　What if Master Hurt's words just happened to be similar to His?

　What if Master Hurt isn't a brave man and doesn't beat the devil?

　I don't want to hear this, but I'm scared.

'Is Master Hurt the hero of the guardianship?

　The question flew out of my mouth without my permission.

　His answer to it was...

You remember me. It's been a long time, Seira.

　Master Hurt, who glanced back at me, gave me a smile. That smile gives courage and hope to those behind him, no matter how desperate the situation is.

　His words and gestures convinced me of this.
　He is - Master Hurt is a brave man of protection.


"What do you mean by that?!

　The devil raised his sword and swung it at us with magic power.

　From the sword swung down, a black bolt of lightning, which seems to be a condensation of despair and fear, flies towards us.

　But I am not afraid.

　But I'm not afraid, because I'm a member of my guardian angel's army.

　I know that in this world, the back of a guardian hero is the safest place to be.


　The Harut Master easily blocked the demon's attack.

　He raised his supreme power and gave a flash of purple light.

Whaaaat?　Ugh!

　The slash that flew out of the High Kingdom canceled out the demon's attack, and that alone didn't diminish its power, but flew to the demon and caused a large wound on its arm.

　It seems that he hardened his arm and just barely prevented it, but a large amount of blood was flowing out of the part he couldn't prevent.


''........Tch, it looks like it's the real thing.

　Huh, the killing spirit that had emanated from the demon has stopped.

　Will they give up and run away when they find out that Harut-sama is a brave man?


　It wasn't so easy.

　The devil is a bundle of malice.
　They're not the kind of people who run away for free.

"Let's save at least one soul.
What...?　Wait, wait!

　Master Harut is in a hurry.

　He's trying to quickly activate his magic as soon as he can, but──perhaps he won't be able to do it in time.

　In the compressed time, I could only watch the demon sword approaching Isha while I also resented my motionless body.

''Isha!''

　The moment the devil's sword touched Isha...


　Something super-fast passed between Isha and the demon.

''Igii!''

　The black sword and the arm of the demon that was holding it disappeared and the demon screamed.


''You, you ignore it when the Lord told you to wait and I will destroy this sword and arm as punishment.

　A woman in a kimono who came to the Holy City with Harut-sama - Yoko-san - was there.
