Outside Kokori, on the road.
On the plain, Lucca and I were exchanging guns and swords.
“Die! Pests!”
Lucca wielded a great sword. She was confident in swordsmanship, and her sword was incredibly sharp.
I devoted myself to avoiding it while receiving the assistance of the body strengthening technique. If I wasn’t trained by Gigi in my past butler years, I would be cut off in an instant.
I squeeze the trigger of the AK47 pulling while avoiding. I didn’t expect to defeat Lucca wearing silver armor with a 7.62mm x Russian short. This was just a check.
In an opportunity, I shoot out a “GB15” 40mm add-on grenade that could be attached to the “AK” series without modification.
“Huh!”
Lucca also saw the power of the grenade when it hit the red armor in the meeting. Therefore, she was wary of that and it did not hit.
Because Liz was not by my side, there was a limit to 40mm bullets.
When Shia gave us the details of the enemy’s power, Meiya, Shia and the members of the Chrysanthemum Knights were ordered to dispose of the silver armors that could not be defeated by anti-tank mines. I asked Snow, Chris, and Liz to catch the red armor alive. When I decided what to take charge of, I naturally ended up fighting Lucca alone.
At first, I thought about asking Snow to support me, but I realized that it was impossible for that clumsy girl, Liz, to follow the Red armor and support Chris alone.
But it’s not bad for the top leaders of the organization to make the final stance.
I spread bullets toward the silver armor while drawing a semicircle under the starlight.
Lucca also wielded a large sword filled with a wind Mana Stone, creating a wind blade and trying to cut through the ground.
“My plan would be successful if you didn’t come!”
“Is it a great success to kill all the members who worshiped you?” You’re crazy!”
“Glorious Knights of the Chrysanthemum! It is a necessary sacrifice to regain your pride! If you are really a member of the Chrysanthemum Knights, you should be willing to give your life!”
“Ah! Stupid! Everything has a life span! And the Knights are no exception! The Chrysanthemum Knights order is already at the end of its life!”
“Shut up, fucking bug! The Chrysanthemum Knights have a lifespan!? Wrong! The Chrysanthemum Knights will keep shining forever! No, it must shine and be everyone’s hope!”
“This fucking madman!”
We move, we fire, we blow wind blades, we avoid each other, and we exchange words faster than bullets. I fired 40mm grenades when the opportunity arose, but she avoided them. I, evaded the wind blade and the sword several times.
Each other lacked a decisive factor.
On the other hand, if you could start something, you will be able to draw the flow at once and win. There is only one thing that can be said to be the key to that.
I used the last 40mm bullet.
Fortunately, I succeeded in blowing off Lucca’s face cheek helmet with a shock, but she came forward without being afraid of that. I fired the AK47, but I pulled the trigger too hard and it jerked.
It’s a mediocre mistake!
“…tsu!”
Thanks to this, the bullets were easily dodged. The AK47 was out of bullets! Realizing the opportunity, Lucca slashed with the great sword.
“Sh*t!”
I immediately threw the AK47 at her with all my might. Lucca, as expected, hit the AK47 with the large sword by reflex, even if she threw her own weapon.
In that time, I pulled out my sidearm, the “S & W M10” revolver, which was on my waist, but at the same time, Lucca’s great sword cut up and stopped at my neck.
My muzzle was on her forehead. Luka’s great sword went to my neck. It was almost like a Mexican standoff; the gunmen of the Westerns fall into a situation where they hold their lives with their muzzles facing each other.
It’s a complete mess.
“” …………… “”
I wonder how much had we been staring at each other?
I opened my mouth first.
“I have one suggestion … Isn’t it fair and dignified, as you said, settling this in a duel?”
Earlier, I blew the Armor Corps with an anti-tank mine. After that, Lucca became angry and said, “You use such a sneaky magic tool! Are you not willing to fight fair and square!? If you are the representative of the league, challenge the battle in a duel from the front!”
Because it’s a tight spot, I want to fulfill that wish.
“…………”
She does not respond. I proceed without permission.
“The duel method is simple. We turn our backs on each other and take three steps. Then we turn around at the third step and attack each other.”
This was a duel scene from a Hollywood movie. I watched it a long time ago, so I don’t remember the title or the details of the movie, but that duel scene is intensely burned into my memory.
After all the explanation, she came.
“I’m glad. I’ll do as you said. As the leader of the Chrysanthemum Order, I’ll hammer all the wicked men …”
“I’m fine. I’m going to crush you from the front as the representative of peacemaker.”
We slowly turn our backs on each other. Although the timing was not decided, the signal voice naturally overlapped.
“1”
“2–”
“Idiot! Die, fool!”
“I thought so! Shity Leader!”
Lucca was the first to betray in the duel when she took her second step, she turned around and swung her big sword. I thought she would be the one to betray it, and she really did!
Thanks to what I had expected, I immediately squat down and avoided the big sword. Only the tip of the hair was cut off. I fired the revolver, but Lucca covered her face with one arm. With a 38mm special of about 9mm, it would be emptied and blown off without any reason.
But that’s fine.
I didn’t think that the revolver would settle it.
What I needed was to direct her attention completely to me.
“Die! Insect!”
Lucca convinced of her victory. rose her big sword with both hands.
But the sword never swung.
“Hey !?”
A large chunk of ice from Lucca’s back crashed at high speed and blew it away. She rolled in the ground a couple of times, and her greatsword blew away in the direction of the day after tomorrow.
“Is Lute safe!? No injuries!”
“Thank you, Snow, I’m okay, no injuries, and nice timing.”
Snow, Chris, and Liz, who were on their way to secure the red armor, came running up to me with a worried expression. I raised my arm to tell them that I was safe.
They were relieved, Snow and Chris walked past me and approached Lucca, who fell and did not move.
There was no red armor around them. I ask Liz who took a new weapon out and was handing it.
“What happened to the red armor that you were following? Did it escape?”
“I’m glad we hunted it down …”
“Lute kun! Come here!”
When Liz was talking, Snow calls my name in a somewhat strong voice. I ran up with Liz with the newly handed AK47 in my hand.
“Lute kun, this person …”
“No way, she died in a single blow…?”
Snow shook her head. I knew right away she was alive. Because she laughs proudly and keeps whispering.
“… ha, ha, ha, mi, mi, my sword will vanquish all evil. The Chrysanthemum knights will shine forever.”
Apparently, her consciousness flew off into that world, knowing that she was defeated by Snow’s blow.
In the end, it was my “friends”, the existences that she cut off, were the ones, at the end who defined the game.
I didn’t do it because I wanted it, but the irony was too effective.
Snow asked.
“… What do you want to do, Lute-kun?”
“Let’s take off her armor and restrain her so that she can’t rampage anymore. Snow and Liz please do that. Chris and I will be on guard around.”
“I understand.”
“Please leave it to me, Lute san.”
I heard Snow’s and Liz’s reply and lined up next to Chris who was on her guard.
“Thank you for coming, I was saved.”
“I’m glad Onii chan was safe.”
Chris smiled and raised the mini blackboard.
“So, Chris, what happened to the Red Armor in charge? I didn’t see it, but did you hand it over to Shia?”
If the red armor escaped safely from Chris’s far-sighted sniper rifle this night, it would be more admirable than regrettable. Because she escaped from “PEMPEMAKER’s Vampire”.
But that didn’t seem to be the case.
Chris raised the mini blackboard with a doubtful expression that had not yet understood the situation.
“We chased the Red Armor as planned and stunned it well … but suddenly disappeared when we tried to secure it.”
“It disappeared?”
Chris lowered her eyebrows and repeated.
“It’s gone …”
It was not a metaphor or parable, but suddenly it disappeared from their eyes. After that, I looked around, but couldn’t find it.
I pated Chris’s head, as she dropped her shoulder.
“Well, it can’t be helped.”
The feel and temperature of her soft hair spread throughout my palm. Chris also closed her eyes comfortably. Her long eyelashes were emphasized when she closed her eyes.
However, Lucca’s mind was blown away. The red armor escaped. It would be difficult to unravel the whole story of “The Magician Killing Case”.

Deep in a dark forest.
Suddenly, the red armor appeared and was lay down carefully. The woman who laid down the red armor was a woman hiding her face with her bangs. You could know she was a woman because of her plump chest and tender limbs.
She pushed the emergency discharge switch on the back of the Red Armor. The back of the Crimson armor opened abruptly, and the liquid produced from the high viscosity slime flew out.
She didn’t mind getting wet, she pulled out the unconscious Nora and put her in her thigh as a pillow.
She poured water in a handkerchief with a bottle of water wiping off any sweat that floated on Nora’s face.
“Uh …”
Nora woke up to the stimulus. She could not fix her gaze for a short while looking around. She gradually understood her situation and got up.
“Elena one chan! Why are you here? … huh.”
“Impossible. Useless”
The woman called Elena shook her head.
“Yes. Nora was chased by Peace Makers … did Elena help her?”
“So.”
She answered shortly.
Nora, who knew Elena’s ability, understood that this was a safe area where no one could follow. At the same time, she trembled. Because she remembered her failure.
“I’m sorry! I failed the mission and I’m sorry! I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry …”
“Fine.”
Elena gently stroked Nora’s head, while she was repeating “I’m sorry” like a broken music box.
“Onee sama is not angry.”
“For real?”
When Elena nodded her, Nora leaked a sigh of relief from the bottom of her heart. Then, her anger and hate for Peace Maker, the Chrysanthemum Knights, and Lucca ignited again.
“I’ll definitely kill them. I’ll get back in position and attack them. If 300 is not enough, I’ll prepare 1000 this time.”
“No good.”
Elena stopped Nora’s hell pot like anger.
“Onee sama, take you, new job.”
“But!”
“Onee sama, order, absolute.”
That was the deciding factor so, Nora was mortified and silent. Elena gently stroked her head several times as she cradled the unheard-of child.
“I’ll let you do it someday. Endure now.”
“I’m sorry, Elena Onee chan, tell me what you want.”
“Fine.”
With short words, the older sister answered.
Then, two people chanted words like a spell together seeing and talking to each other.
“”Even if the sky falls and is crushed, it is an indestructible covenant. Until death separates us, with us Black Stars.””
The voices of two people dissolved into darkness and disappeared echoing in the forest where no one is.
Outside Kokori, on the road.
