Sylvia had unexpectedly lost her word to a sight that was too unexpected.
'Cause you will.
I was waiting because I just thought it was' Lars'.
And yet why Kurt... no, the story in the first place.
Wasn't Kurt supposed to be in the hospital now?
But it's definitely Kurt who's been greeting us.
At the same time, I remember one question.
That's the right arm I've been raising with my greetings.
It was broken thoroughly and I was even told I didn't know if I could even move it. That just seems to be working fine.
No, more than that, its face.
Instead of reverting to it, they said they weren't even sure if it was restorable to the shape of their faces. There, they didn't see one scratch.
What the hell does this mean, don't get confused, it's more impossible.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm glad you seemed surprised. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been worth it to do this on purpose. Well, honestly, I thought you'd find out. Damn, you're easily fooled at that rate, aren't you? - Ma'am, I could tell you. This way!
"... Huh!?
But as if to inflict further confusion, the moment, its face changed gallantly.
It's not just the tone, one part at a time should be the same, but it's like someone else was there.
"Damn, hold on, it's still a disgusting tone while I'm at it. I don't know what I used to think about talking in that tone... but I don't care."
"... Kurt, seniors... right?
"Am I? You know what I mean? Or doesn't it look like someone else?
"I don't see it... but Senior Kurt must be in the hospital in the first place... and even after the injury."
"What, you still don't get it? That's a simple story, isn't it? More than I'm here, that means it's not me."
"Isn't that Senior Kurt?
That shouldn't happen.
'Cause I found it that day that it was Kurt... no?
But that's it, and Sylvia noticed.
Yes, in the first place, why was it said to be Kurt even though his face was so guttural that it was indistinguishable?
I mean...
"Have you finally noticed? Me and him were lucky to have similar back lengths. He just put on my clothes and planted my student ID."
That was Lars, who said he didn't know where he was going.
That should be nowhere to be found.
... For a moment, I felt like something had caught on, but it went astray in Kurt's voice.
"Well, I also destroyed my face after finishing it like it was eaten by demons, but that's all that fools me, so Temeer and the others are really simple. This way, it was easy and helpful."
"... oh well, the color of my hair"
"Whoa, if you leave it like that, you'll find out. Even though it's not funny in my favor, I dared to give you a hint... didn't mean that I did it on purpose at that rate"
"... tips?
Would that have happened?
I couldn't think of anything when I twisted my head, and when I saw Sylvia like that, Kurt shrugged his shoulder.
"You really haven't even noticed the shards. You broke his right arm, didn't you?
"Right arm...... is that what it is?
"There's nothing and shit. I'm left-handed, aren't I? Doesn't mean I broke my right arm."
"... ah"
So I remembered.
Certainly Kurt had a spear in his left arm.
But up to that point, I didn't even care.
"So this is the end of the story.... No, the contents aren't crappy, but surprisingly, these aren't bad either. I can also understand that Alberto's bastard liked his wickedness for nothing now. So, well, anyway... isn't there something else Temeer cares about than that in the first place?
"Huh?... Oh yeah, Maria is...!?
I was so surprised that Kurt was conscious, but I came here to help Maria.
Remind me of that, I'm in Kurt's arms, shifting my gaze to Maria.
Something limp came to mind at that moment, because its appearance was glitchy and it hadn't even moved with Pickle.
"Huh...!? Maria......!?
"You can't do anything wrong. It's not my hobby to be a weak jerk. I'm the one who did the harm, right?
That being said, what Kurt has offered was the opposite of holding Maria.
It's hard to tell... I can see something like a tooth shape on the back of my hand.
Did you mean that Maria was harmed?
"It's not like I was going to do anything about it. One, rather the other way around. I tried to do something about myself, that's why. No, that's just like serving the royal family. Exactly. I'm impressed with that readiness, huh?
"... what does that mean?
"The moment I woke up, I guess I instantly guessed what the situation was. So, I guess I even thought about how I could be least detrimental to Omae. I tried to bite my tongue off without a slight hesitation."
"... Huh!?
"Whoa, I didn't make you do that, did I? I told you. I'm impressed. I accidentally stuck my hand in my mouth. Thanks to this. Painful, painful."
"That's... thank you, I should say...?
Weird story, but if you're right, it's true you had Maria's life saved.
And I don't even think of it as a lie.
Because if Maria doesn't, she thinks so.
"Well, this is how you passed out right after that, and I'm the one who grabbed this guy in the first place, right? I don't think it's the same thing to be thanked for."
"That may be... then how did you help Maria there? I just need the fact that if I'm just going to attract eagles, I'm going to grab them, so I'm not supposed to care what happens to Maria anymore."
"Mm-hmm. You've decided, haven't you? If he found out he was dead, Temeer would have run away at that moment. He tried to die because he knew that too, didn't he? But Temeer cannot escape if he lives. Otherwise, there's no point in coming all the way here alone."
"... eh"
That's true.
Sylvia is carrying an emergency escape magic guide for times of need.
Or because of the incident the other day, it came to be held.
That's why it works fine in the labyrinth... but it seemed to be completely read.
"I don't care if you run away after all, right? I don't know exactly what's going on with him then."
Kurt, who said that and said that, only slightly to the person with the upper hand… I could see that he did not want to add strength to the person holding Maria.
I guess you're also aware that this one can't help Maria somehow or see how it goes.
And I don't see a raw hatred and a gap where that seems possible.
Biting his lips, he urged ahead.
"... I'm not running away. What the hell did you do this for?
"... you did come over early. I'm not trying to kill Omae, though. Whoa, I'm serious, huh? If that was all I wanted, I'd have done something about it. Technically, I failed to try... if I really wanted to do something about it, that's when I killed them all directly. So at least I'm not gonna kill you. It might hurt you a little bit."
I swallowed the word "harm" again, but when I made up my mind, I moved forward.
That's because I mean, when you get to yourself for now, I thought that's what you meant.
Though I'm telling you I won't kill you, that doesn't mean Sylvia doesn't know things enough to make you feel safe.
Even if it's true, the world is overflowing with things that I think are better off dead.
But as he pushes and kills the fear that springs up, he advances his legs.
I've already decided what to do.
Where I found myself, Maria was the only one who could help me.
Eventually I approached Kurt... and there I finally realized there was something behind Kurt.
That was like some kind of pedestal.
It depicts a complex text, with a pitch-black sphere embedded in its center.
It is something that feels somewhat unpleasant... but while I was blinded by it, Kurt has offered me a knife.
"... Huh!?
"Whoa, it's not like I'm gonna stab you, is it? No, I don't mind doing that, but like I said, weak figs aren't a hobby. That's where the black sphere is, right? You just have to drain Omae's blood there. This is for it, and that's why I called Omae here."
I didn't know what it meant to do that, but you wouldn't tell me where I heard it anyway, and I can't refuse it.
Upon receiving the knife, the fingertips are cut slightly and the bleeding drips there.
It was at the next moment that the red and black liquid stained the black sphere, one or two drops, as if inhaled - feeling strange.
"Huh?"
It was a shake.
Small at first, but gradually getting bigger.
It's like something's waking up and screaming, such a shake.
"Hey, what is this...!?
"Damn, haha......! I honestly half-hearted it... but damn, I can't believe this is the way to unseal it...!
"Phew, seal...?
"Oh, yeah? What, I didn't know... no, they didn't teach you? This place is sealed with shards of evil god power. It's the pedestal that counts. So, the last key to unsealing that was royal blood... no, I'm really surprised, huh? How can you really worship a shard of the power of the Evil God... Ha ha!
Hearing the words, Sylvia felt the blood draw.
Sure, I was going to do anything to help Maria... but I never thought I'd do that.
I don't know about evil gods, but...
"Huh... so now you're saying that my role is over, right?
"Hmm? Ooh, well, yeah. So...?
I can turn my gaze.
That's all Sylvia got the urge to get out of this place right now.
But if you do that, it doesn't make any sense that you've done this.
So at least, I stare back, squeezing my lips together.
"Then you don't even need to capture Maria any more, do you? The eagle obeyed me properly and liberated me..."
"Oh, you sure do. It doesn't make sense to do this to him any more. By the way, this is a simple question... when did I tell you that Omae would let him go if he followed me?
"... Huh?
That's... I didn't say it.
I was just assuming Sylvia would be on her own.
But.
"Damn... 'cause now there's no point in catching any more...!?
"Oh, you're right. I mean, I have something I don't need right now... but I need to get rid of it, right?
"Huh...!?
What the word meant was I could understand it even if I didn't like it when I saw Kurt's floating grin.
I mean... take Maria...
"Earlier, the weak one, the fig...!
"Whoa, not a hobby, huh? That hasn't changed. But... look, this power? In front of this power, Temeer and the others aren't even weak, are they? Well, it's a bug. Then... I just used it to try and shoot this power of mine, and there's nothing wrong with it, is there?
"Oh man...!?
Different promises, I wanted to scream, but I didn't make any promises in the first place.
Where I was provisionally promising to that, I didn't think Kurt would defend such a thing now.
No, or were you going to do that from the beginning?
So what are you really doing this for...
"Kuhaha......! The princess of the world, thank you so much for your hard work! Well, at least I'll take him to the same place he did... so I'll tell him how he was killed when I met him over there, huh? Because I'm sure you'll be happy to cry......!
"Oh, stop...!
"- Hmm. I don't know, I'm full of three villains to be impressed with. So far, as expected, the opposite is true."
"If it's nothing easy, I don't think you've ever been over it? Or maybe you're the only one who can say that when you look at me."
"- What?"
Laughing and shuddering.
That slight gap.
The light was brilliant in the moment, at the edge of Sylvia's consciousness, as if to sew a gap of consciousness that had arisen only for a moment.
I didn't know what that was, but I only knew one thing.
As a result, Kurt's left arm was severed from his shoulder.
"Huh...!?
"Don't be cautious when you've done something. Anything, anybody can say."
"In your case, I don't think there's anything you can do with caution."
"I think that's just too much to say... well, it's that for now. - Back off, Shiro."
"- Shit!?
And at the next moment, Kurt's body was blown up towards the wall and slapped.
Sylvia has fallen back reflexively...... so I realize.
Maria, who lost her support, naturally went to the ground - she never fell.
When it appeared, there were two new figures there, because one of them supported it.
And it was the two of us who saw it.
"... soma, you? Dean of the Academy?
It was Soma and Hildegard.
But the two men who appeared there nodded with a commonplace face.
"Um, it's just the first time"
"I haven't seen you in a while."
"... Huh? What? What, what?
That's, in many ways, why not.
Why are you here and how did you help me?
By chance, it's too much.
The timing just seemed like it was after...
"Yeah? I told you I'd help you if there was anything I could do, and I told you I understood?
"What, yeah, they did say............... eh?
Is that what that was about, is that what you mean?
I mean, at that point, even though I didn't say anything, Soma guesses everything...?
But there was no opportunity to dispel that question.
Thank you very much. How dare you, because it happened.
I remember the moment I saw the pedestal earlier, a bad feeling.
And it was felt that the likeness of multiplying it up rose.
"Damn, haha......! Come on, it's true you were alarmed, but you still had no idea, did you? Maybe you didn't say anything, did you? How much, I'd love to...!
To his voice, Sylvia turned her gaze reflexively...... to be honest, she regretted it.
Because I had an intuition that Kurt, who stood up trying to lean against the wall, was not what he had been until just before...... no, or that he was not a person anymore.
"By the way, I'm asking you one thing, okay?
"What is?
"I'm surprised in many ways. I don't see any shards... How the hell did you know?
…… I don't know what that means, but we both knew at first sight that it was Lars who was discovered. Well, I didn't dare inform Sylvia and the others to make them think we weren't aware. If they thought we were being noticed, they were likely to move without us knowing, and that was a hassle. "
"Shit... I see. You mean I got caught brilliantly. Damn, I thought I might be able to use my head unexpectedly about this one, but it's my fault.... but it's okay."
As soon as I saw his face, I couldn't stop shaking my body.
Whatever demon you've ever seen is cute compared to that.
Even on that road that I had been desperate to make my way through the labyrinth by myself until I got here, I felt like nothing compared to this time.
No, or...
"I guess I don't need to use my head anymore......!
He said it might be death itself.
In despair, Sylvia thought that.
Sylvia had unexpectedly lost her word to a sight that was too unexpected.
'Cause you will.
I was waiting because I just thought it was' Lars'.
And yet why Kurt... no, the story in the first place.
