The resounding screams are so loud that even Rhea's own ears are paralyzed. As if screaming at the bottom of the cauldron of hell, Rhea's voice dies from the pain.
　The motion of spreading the wound more than necessary pains Rhea's every nerve. I can't wait to be free of this pain.
　Reflexively, Rhea grabbed the big man's thick wrist and dug her nails in.

　If he moved even a millimeter more, some part of his head would short-circuit.
　Rhea's eyes widened to the limit, and she quickly swiftly swung her machete-type AWR wide. The reason for such an instantaneous decision to cut off the entire arm, because the wrist that grabbed it didn't freak out.

　I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do that. If that happens, all the weight will be on the wound.
　It's a far different and more intense pain than just being stabbed, because it's a knife that catches part of your body and supports your weight - and it's a knife. The short blade pushed up against the flesh of his shoulder and mouth, giving him a stabbing pain in his back.

　Leah's throat tightened and she swung the machete down as hard as she could into the big man's arms.
　He doesn't care about the blood gushing out, now he just has to draw the knife........

　Leah's sword cut the sky as her arm was pulled down with a swoosh. Even so, the movement to pick at that wound was just gone.

　Immediately, Rhea pulled out the small knife that was stuck in her shoulder mouth. The reason he had to forcefully pull it out was because the blade was so poorly made. It resisted as if it were trapping a wall of flesh.

''Ahhhhhhhh--''

　Immediately after pulling out the knife with a single motion, toppings and blood flow out.
　It's a demon's knife, there's a risk of developing an infection. Leah's forehead was filled with sweat, and her clothes were also absorbing an odd amount of sweat.

　There was not a single hope.
　Even as she endured the pain, Leah had such a premonition. She couldn't help it, she felt like she was being tortured.
　It's like a hunt (hunt) to ensure that the prey is killed. The strategy of hunting down the opponent and steadily luring them to death.

　The big man in the Noh mask was already gone in Leah's vision. The main body hid itself again, leaving only the knife behind.

　Among such a large number of demons, the Noh masked demon accurately analyzed Rare's movements and exploited the momentary gap. It's impossible to even avoid them, the break in thought, and the blow in such a gap was a big shock to Rhea.

　It's not just a matter of quantity.

(Hmm, fuu, fuu.................Fuu, it's no good. (They'll kill me)

　He consciously breathed, but the situation didn't change in any way. On the contrary, it was also the moment when it was decided which side was being hunted.

''Rare, rare!

　At such a cry calling to himself, Rhea realizes that he was about to be swallowed up by the depths of despair. Resignation rears its head and beckons the living from the depths of the pit. Mea pulled up Leah, who was about to take the invitation.

''D, it's okay, sir. But....''

　I can't find the words to follow. What do you mean it's okay?　I was even starting to ask myself that question. I wondered what was okay, if it was okay in the sense that I wasn't dead yet, but it was only a matter of time.
　Even Mea had her physical limitations. The two of them didn't have enough strength and power left to keep doing this kind of thing forever.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a good deal more than you need to know. There was no time to treat the wound here. Besides..........

''There's another increase. Meh, mea alone........

　Suddenly, Leah, who sincerely felt this, didn't realize it was a responsibility that came from her position as a formal "sister". Whenever I've been in a tight spot, I've always put Mea before myself. In the end, it should always be Mea. It's not her sister, it's Mea.

　At the same time, it was also what Mea was thinking about.

　If there was a way for either of them to be saved, they would hang on for all they were worth. However, in the current situation where it is not even clear whether one person can be saved, the two of them at least held only a fleeting hope.

'If it comes to this, even if it's just Mea, Rhea will make a way. Even if you die, you will still make a way. That's why Mea.
You know what?　Leah don't run away. I'm not going to tell you what you can't do in that situation!　I'd rather kill all over the place if I'm going to survive one!

　Oh," said Leah, feeling a strange sense of joy well up inside her. No matter how many suggestions we make, no matter how much we talk about it in theory, Mea will overturn it at the last minute with a point of disgust. If it was just an argument, Rhea would be the one to beat. But when it's a situation that cannot be compromised, Mea doesn't back down a step.

　However, for once, Rhea had no intention of giving up either.

''No!　Absolutely mare survive. It is better. Mea is smarter than Leah. If you're the best, you're the best!

　I came here and, unusually for Rare, my voice was tense and selfish.
　Only Mea would let him live, and for that reason, I think even the pain in his arm has already receded.

'I'm not afraid of you,'

　There was no way to stop the trembling lips. There was no way to stop the trembling throat either.
　But the pain was gone. The fight was ignited. He could squeeze the power out of it.

　Leah ignored Mea and ran as fast as she could. She was stubborn too, expecting that Mea would probably do the same, but she was stubborn. She will never relent. They are one because they are two.
　You can't live with one alone. One alone is not worth it. Maybe the magical connection makes Rare think so.

　In the end, the two of them have no choice but to go through the path of death together.

　Rhea rushes forward, emitting a yell. The corners of his mouth drew a small smile for once.

　Killing, killing, and continuing to kill. And keep moving forward, even one step forward. Someday you will reach the tail end of the open.

　Rhea, who had rushed in without stopping, was out of breath and wielded the machete-type AWR incessantly. If they cut off his arm, he would kill ten of them in the meantime. It was such a breakthrough.
　I glanced at Mea with a sideways glance, because I had a faint hope that I could advance while wounded and get out of this predicament. He knew from the beginning that Mea was running alongside him.

'Huh?'

　But such an indifferent voice leaks out of Rhea's throat.
　He couldn't acknowledge the sight of Mea, who he thought was beside him.
　As if played, Rhea stopped her hand and turned her gaze behind her. There was the big man's demon, Mea's figure dancing above his head.

　Her small body seemed to have bounced around, rolling up sand and gravel, in a strange position, yet her eyes had lost the light of consciousness.

'Mea, mea?'

　His voice was too weak to ask the question. Mea looked like she was going to hit the ceiling as she flew through the air.
　But just before she did, she saw a deformed hand gripping her leg.
　Then with a tremendous force, Mea's body plummeted to the ground and a dull sound hit the ground.

　It grabbed Mea's foot and slammed it into the ground. The machete-type AWR rolled on the ground with a dry sound.
　When it was swung up again, blood splattered from Mea's head and a red dot was drawn on the ceiling.

'You eeee!

　Leah turned back the way she had come as fast as she could. It was no longer enough for her to lose herself in anger. Her bloodshot eyes focused on Mea, and her hateful rage turned to the demon that was beating her. It was a demon wearing a mask that resembled the form of a demon.

''Mea!

　I'm coming, I'm coming now. The words spat out in his chest made Rhea's legs move beyond their limits.
　But - as if it was the last stop, a final powerful blow knocked Mea to the ground.

　Then, as if the muscle fibers had not yet softened, he swung up, as well as Mea.

　Rhea cleaves the demons in her eyes, blocking her path, in a messy manner and runs to Mea. However, even if she was to make it in time, the sound of it hitting the ground made her feel too late.

　But Rhea's call for help, and at the apex of her swing, Mea's eyes snapped open.
　And while twisting her body, she gathered magic power in her hands to form a magic sword. As it was, she stabbed into the big man's brain. If it was a strong demon, this would not have happened. But a big man demon like a human had an advantage, he threw away his outer shell.

　Dark green blood erupted from the brain's heavens, and he let out a muffled, bitter cry. It was strange, a mere sound without emotion, not even inflection, just a sound.
　Then, as if throwing something out of the way, the mare was thrown wildly as it was. Mea was slammed into the wall, spinning her body around wildly while bumping into the other large man.

　Thanks to the loss of momentum, Mea fell back to the ground as it was.
　He poked his hand out and managed to sit down like that.

　It wasn't long before Rhea reached there.
　The big man who killed the demon and put on the mask of a demon also dropped his head properly.
　The big man who was chasing him slashed his back several times, but he was able to reach Mea.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

"Mea, Dai, jou..............................Mea!
Hey, look, Rhea, it doesn't hurt.

　Mea, who sat down flatly, moved her empty eyes a little.
　And a great deal of blood flowed from the leg that the demon had grabbed and dyed the area where she was sitting bright red. Most importantly, bones were popping out of his shins.

　Are you crazy, I can't believe this doesn't hurt. He thought about that, but Rhea realized that there was nothing normal about it from the beginning. If it didn't hurt, that was all that mattered.
　If it didn't hurt, then there would be no more pain.

　Leah dropped the machete-type AWR to the ground and poked her knee in front of Mea.
　Uninterrupted, rough breathing.
　She held Mea's head as it was, with a small smile on her mouth. She couldn't do a single thing like a sister.

　So at least in the end........
　Maybe the one thing even a sister who couldn't protect her sister could do, was to let her die first.
　It was to let them die together. Clarifying the position of sisters to the twins didn't change anything.
　But Rhea thinks she's changed a lot since she became a sister. Mea isn't weak enough to be protected, but on the contrary, she even has guts.......

''At least in the end I want to do something like my sister.
'Yeah, good. Sis.

　Quietly meditating, Rhea hugs Mea with her remaining strength.
