The meaning of the battle has disappeared.
　And yet the mayhem still rages on.

'Stop!　No more magic, Bashbursa!
''Ohhhhhh!　Die, Dariel!　Only you can die!

　Suddenly Bashbarza went out of control and began to unleash his magic wherever he could.
　Of course, the magic power boosted by the Spiritual Spiritual Transformation's forbidden spell is dangerous to approach carelessly.

　But why doesn't Bashbursa try to contain the magic power?

'You still don't get it!　Continuing to lash out here is just what the Drismegians who tried to use you to get you to do what they want!
'It doesn't matter!　I don't care about Doris Megian anymore!　No, everything doesn't matter anymore!　I don't care!

　It was a complete abandonment bowl.
　But why do you persistently target me in desperation?

　At first I thought it was an indiscriminate attack anywhere, but little by little, the flying flames are focusing on me.

''........Dariel!　I'm going to take you down!　I'm going to choke the life out of you before this me disappears from your existence!
What the f*ck?
Piss off!

　Another fireball is released again.
　But it was only to be knocked down by the Hermes Sword.

'You are the best curse of my lifetime!　If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have fallen from grace!　I could have fulfilled the duties of the Four Heavenly Kings, defeated the heroes, and lived happily ever after!
Not likely.

　Your misfortune is the result of your own stupidity, and you are indeed not to be held responsible for it.

'But that doesn't matter either!　I've lost everything, but I'm still searching for the last meaning in my life!　Dariel!　I'm going to take you down!　I will kill you and adorn my life with the glory of that victory!　That's how my life is going to be meaningful, ah!

　What a selfish claim.
　My life is just a decoration for your life.

　It pains me to see such a difference in the lives of others.

　Of course, my life is for many other people, so I don't want to give him what he wants, but of course.

Burghgh?
Huh?

　I'm also surprised by the sudden change that happened to Bashbarza.
　I'm not sure how many arrows pierced her chest at once.

"Arrows?　That means.........?
''Annihilator!

　I knew it.
　Gacita had rushed in.

　He's the oldest adventurer in Lux Village.
　Now he's the village guardian I rely on the most.

　But now.....

"Why did you come here?　I asked you to take care of the inferno!

　The major component of the disaster currently hitting Lax village is undoubtedly the inferno.
　I was hoping that you would be able to deal with that along with Granbaza-sama and Aranziel-san.

　Among the ordinary adventurer's bows and arrows, only arrows strengthened by your aura can remove the Inferno's 'scorching heat ward'.

''Excuse me, Aniki...!　But I knew I had to beat him to death with my own hands.
What?
'Please, my brother!　Will you let me take over the fight?

　Why?
　Didn't you and Bashvaza have a history like that?

　I think it's a stranger level at the very least.

Yeah. I thought so too. I thought he was just a bastard who would resent me for causing damage to the village. ........but I'm beginning to understand.
What?
He said he was me.

　What do you mean?
　Bashbaza and Gashita will not be similar.

　One is a demon race and the Four Heavenly Kings and the other is a human race and an adventurer.
　Their characteristics are also fire and sting, and they have nothing in common.

"Who the hell are you?　There's no need for you to be a zako!　Get out of the way!　I have to defeat Dariel.　You must defeat Dariel before he disappears and prove he's alive!
I won't let you do that.

　A number of arrows float in the air around Gacita.
　They are still.

　The arrows, surrounded by Gacita's powerful stinging aura, soar through the sky with their own buoyancy and propulsion.

Go!

　At Gacita's command, the arrows flew without being released into the bow.
　It was all due to the strength of Gacita's aura.

''Fool!　A few twigs like that, not even firewood in front of my flame magic!　Know the brilliance of the fire that burns with the grinding of my soul!

　The flying arrow dives into the fierce flames.
　I thought it would be instantly burned up, but the arrows protected by the aura didn't even raise a puff of smoke.

　On the contrary, the arrow drew a vortex-like trajectory under Gacita's manipulation, and the flames caught in its circular motion fragilely scattered away.

　Seeing this, Bashvaza........

''No........how.......stupid.......?
''It's an arrow that even your boss couldn't prevent. What makes you think you can prevent it?

　Come to think of it, Gacita's sniping was bothered by the damage it would cause if it didn't reach the inferno and deal with it without a single arrow.

　Is Gacita's ability as an adventurer so great that even the former Four Heavenly Kings Bashbarza can no longer hold a candle to it?

''No way!　Not only can I not reach Dariel, but I'm going to be pushed around by these scum!　It's not true!　You're lying!
You know, this whole thing reminds me of you. You're reminding me of this guy, this complete idiot, just like you.

　The arrows fly in all directions, as if to show Gacita's intent.
　They arc and come and go, as if they were a swarm of hornets.

　And then they quickly shoot out and scatter the magic flames released by Bashverza.

'....It's me. You're just like me a couple of years ago.

　Gacita said.

'You have no skills, but you're all confident. You're so confident, pretending to be strong in a small village. When I think back on it now, I still feel like a painful fool.

　That's right.
　That was the first time I met Gacita.

　Back then, he wasn't as obedient as he is now, and he looked at me, a newcomer to the village, as if I was a direct enemy.
　When did that change?

I've been able to change. Thanks to Dariel's brother-in-law, I've learned to see how stupid I am. Once I realized how stupid I was, I wanted to change. I worked hard every day with that thought in mind... And here I am today.
Shut up!　What do you want me to say?　I don't have anything to do with your personal history!
Yeah, I got it. You're the one who didn't realize how stupid you were at the time.
?

　The arrows are still flying around.
　Not just one arrow, but more than ten.
　That many arrows could be flown using only the propulsion of the aura, and they were perfectly controlled.

　There are no adventurers in the Center Guild who can handle such a sharp and precise aura.

''I'm listening, Dariel's brother was your assistant, right?　Then I'm sure Anita would have done everything she could to help you. I did everything I could for your success, for your safety, for your growth.
What did you...?
He's a good person. That's why you can give me your hand without looking bad, even if you're a jerk. That's why he's not afraid to give you a hand, just like he did with me a while ago. I took his hand. And you didn't.

　The current two parties that originated from that past.
　This is how they face each other.

I don't think there's anyone else to say it, so I'll say it myself. You're clumsy.
Hey!
If you had listened to him, if you had trained yourself like he said, you could have become a man. I'm not going to be able to tell you what to do, but I'm going to tell you that I'm going to do it. You're as filthy as a monster. You're just three years old and used by others.

　Gacita takes out a new arrow from an arrow barrel on her back.
　Then he nails it to the bow.
　I squeeze the string.

I'm sure if I hadn't listened to my brother, I'd still be an unknowing idiot. And I would have fallen. Just like you.
....?
That's why you're me. You're the one who failed to correct your mistakes that day. I'm horrified to see you in your misery. If I had been wrong, I would have done the same thing.

　A serious color came over Bashvaza's face that he couldn't name.
　Did Gacita's words sting?

'That's why you thought I had to defeat you. You are a ghost from the past. I'll take care of it with my own hands now!

　The string is released, and with a whimper, the arrow that was pushed out flies.
　Gashita has already acquired a dense pressure aura and can release arrows without a bow, but that doesn't mean a bow is no longer necessary.

　With a bow, she can fly arrows even faster and with greater power.

　The bowstring that Gashita uses is a mithril string, developed by Sakai, a blacksmith, and forged as thin as thread.

　Then he sends an arrowhead made of mithril into the air.

　The arrow strikes Bashvaza's chest without missing a beat.
　Then it popped and blew away.
