The trail of the sky The light belongs to you

On the quiet street, there are the sounds of footsteps stepping across the grass, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, interrupted by the sound of weapons intersecting from time to time.

"Haha...haha..."

"Okay, such a pestering guy..."

Agathe's epee landed between the two fleeing people, kicking up dust, and the resistance was futile, and the two could only continue to flee forward.

"With such a huge sword on my back, I can still catch up!"

"Hmph, don't confuse me with you three-legged cats!" Agathe tapped lightly, jumped up sensitively, and jumped in front of the two.

"I can't help it...let's attack!"

"Great, I'm finally going to do it. I'm tired of playing hide-and-seek with you guys."

"Guys who are overconfident, do you think you can still win a one-on-two match?"

"Haha..." Agathe put the epee on his back and smiled triumphantly, "Of course I will win!"

"what……!"

"Fighting also needs to be imposing. From the moment you run away, you are already destined to become homeless dogs."

"It's nonsense... you lackey of the association!"

"Look how we deal with you!"

However, after the Battle of the Lighthouse, the physical fitness of the two men in black had dropped a lot, and Agathe knocked them back with just a random sword strike.

"Damn it...how could it be caught here..."

"Hmph, why don't you hurry up and tell me everything honestly...!"

"——This is really embarrassing." A deep voice came from behind Agathe.

"What!" Agathe turned around in surprise, pointing the blade at the void, "W-when..."

"Team, Captain!"

"Have you come to save us?"

"I really can't do anything about you..." The captain wearing a red mask stepped forward, "Not only did I not contact you on time, but I also started playing here."

"I'm so sorry..."

"There are many obstacles along the way..."

"I see, you are their boss, right?"

"Hehe... I'm just the person in charge of the scene." The masked captain smiled slightly, "I apologize for the rudeness of my subordinates, can I let them go?"

"Huh? What did you just say...?"

"I said, can we let them go, after all, we don't intend to be an enemy of the Guerrilla Association."

"Bai, you idiot! How can there be such a cheap thing in the world!"

"Oh, oh, I think this proposal is good." The masked captain looked at the subordinates behind Agathe, "You two, leave this to me, and you go to the rendezvous point."

"Yes Yes!"

The man in black immediately got up and ran, Agathe wanted to catch up, but the captain moved faster than him... In just a moment, the sharp sword shining with golden light was already lying in front of him.

"Bastard..." Agathe frowned, and then suddenly thought of something, "But...it doesn't matter, they can't escape."

"I see. You mean your other companion, the blond B-rank guerrilla?"

"...That's right, you have information to this extent."

"Hehe, thank you for the compliment." The captain stepped forward, "Then I can only get rid of you as soon as possible and rescue them again."

"What..." Agathe opened his eyes slightly, his anger began to burn, "Idiot! Don't underestimate people...!"

Red flames shot out from the bottom of the epee, but they were easily dispelled by the opponent's light swing of the sword.

The captain is indeed the captain, even though he didn't take the initiative to attack, he resolved them one by one during the battle...

"Hmph, I have a hand."

"Waving the heavy iron with uncontrollable passion..." The captain smiled again, "The people I met this time... all look a bit like me..."

"what……!?"

"Agathe Kolosner, Onasa Baroka, the villagers of Ravenu Village, witnessed that hell..." The captain paused, "I lost someone important to me..."

"……you……"

Hearing the other party talk about his experience, Agathe's eyes were first surprised, and then filled with contempt.

"I was bound by despair because of my own weakness... Your eyes said so. But your partner is much better than you... It's a pity that you are also confused."

"..." Agathe clenched the sword in his hand even more, "Hmph, not bad. Although I don't know who you are, you are quite likable..."

"Me too, I don't hate straight-tempered people like you. There's no point in continuing to fight, let's just shake hands and make peace."

"Enough of the jokes! If I don't make a sound, you just play the piano and talk endlessly! Watch how I smash your gibberish mouth!"

The cyan halo gathered around the bodies of the two, accumulating power, and lasted only a few seconds. In the blink of an eye, the epee and the golden sword touched each other...

The masked captain let out a weak groan, and knelt down on the ground, but just as Agathe was about to step forward to grab him, his figure started to become transparent...

"Damn... □□?"

Gray mottlings flashed in the bushes on both sides of the street, and the voice sounded around Agathe, "It's a good blow, but it seems to be a little confused, and it will make the knife technique flawed."

"what!?"

"If you want to become Shura, you must have the awareness to give up everything. If you want to survive in this world, you must forget all anger and sorrow."

"Then, there will be a period later..."

The figure disappeared into the darkness and disappeared without a trace.

The young man was holding an epee, silent, and his blue eyes were shining with various lights.

That bloody scene reappeared again...

Embracing her covered in blood, she escaped from countless ruins. That girl, who was obviously not breathing, still had that smile on her face, holding an ordinary pendant tightly in her hand...

"..."

"Damn it...how did I forget..."

In the deserted night, the epee fell to the ground, and the young man's painful cries echoed continuously.

"call……"

Onasa tidied up her messy bangs during the battle, and looked at the two men in black who fell to the ground.

"Then... take it back to the association." Onasa looked back, "I don't seem to see Agathe... It seems that these two people came here after getting rid of him, and then I stopped them. "

The blue eyes narrowed slightly, which means——

"Hehe, I'm really capable, I'm a step late..."

"..." Onasa closed her eyes and pulled out her rapier again, "It just appeared when I thought of it, and the timing is just right."

Lightly tapping her combat boots, Onasa jumped in front of the "captive", "Did you come here after throwing off Agathe?"

"It can't be regarded as throwing away, it's just taking advantage of his distraction."

"..." Onasa stepped forward, looking straight into the eyes under the helmet, "It's not so easy here, look at the sword...!"

With the help of the reaction force of the point, Onasa quickly came to the captain.

Keng——

Silver and gold intersected, and Onasa concentrated all her strength on her right hand. However, Captain Red's strength should not be underestimated, and her footsteps hardly moved at all.

"Hmm..." Her right hand began to go numb, and just as Onasa was about to back off, the other party let out a chuckle.

"...B-rank guerrillas, who are also voluntary Sunday school teachers in the church..." The corner of the captain's mouth turned from upturned to drooping, "Even through such hell, he can still have good intentions, which is really admirable."

Even though it was not the first time that the other party spoke about her experience like this, Onasa still felt her heart being beaten, "...this...has nothing to do with you."

"However, she can't get rid of the loneliness in her heart, so she turns her kindness towards herself into kindness towards others... What a contradictory girl."

"...I expected that you would make such a big statement," Onasa jumped back suddenly, drawing a silver-white cross on the ground with her rapier, "this time, don't even think about running away."

"Silver Cross!"

The cross suddenly jumped up into the air, turning into a spiral in the air and flying forward. The captain stepped back a few steps and held the sword horizontally in front of him.

"Type Zero Storm!"

A spiral vortex of the same color swirled, defusing Onasa's attack.

--Now!

Taking advantage of the gap resolved by the zero-type storm, Onasa activated the magic of accelerating time, and rushed behind the captain in an instant.

"……what!"

"..."

click-

After a slight sound, the young man hesitated a little, the helmet shattered from the center, split into two halves and fell to the ground...

Her silver hair fluttered in the wind, and her icy purple eyes sparkled.

"Hehe... I underestimated you, not a bad blow."

"Even if I'm lonely and desperate..." Onasa stopped attacking and closed her eyes, "I decided on my current path a long time ago. Even if I'm bound by negative emotions, I won't give up."

Onasa turned around, "The person who rushed in to solve the crisis when the orphanage was on fire... really was you."

"...Why did you tell me that? Kindness, loneliness, etc... It has nothing to do with you."

"It's nothing." The silver-haired young man put away his sword and turned to look at Onasa. "It's just...just talking."

"...Let's put it this way, I still, for some reason, don't think you are a bad person," Onasa once again put on a fighting posture, "Even if you are standing on the opposite side of me now... your gaze makes me feel that you are not a bad person." Simple, but... I'm a guerrilla after all, let's see the trick..."

"...Then, I have to show some of my real strength."

"..."

"Since you are so determined, let me see!"

No, no conspiracy, throwing the two men in black on the ground aside, this is no longer a war representing one's own position.

Rather, it is a battle between swordsmen.

One side is always surrounded by purple magic flames, which are so fast that it is almost impossible to track them with the naked eye.

The speed and strength of the other party are obviously not as good as the former, and the combat experience is also insufficient. There is almost no chance to take the initiative to attack, and they can only retreat step by step to resist the opponent's offensive.

He is serious...

But for some reason, I seem to be waiting for this moment...

Yeah, that's right...

As long as he is as ruthless as he wants to kill me, I will give up the stupid idea of ​​"he is not a bad person"...

Onasa, you are such a masochist.

"Well……"

After just a moment of distraction, the golden sword drew countless bloodstains on Onasa's body, and it was too late to activate the recovery magic.

"……hateful……"

Onasa paused slightly, stabilized her footsteps, and made a desperate thrust.

Snapped--

"what……"

The wrist was hit, and the rapier ignored the master's outstretched hand and flew into the distance.

Onasa just stood there blankly with her arms raised, her eyes closed, waiting for the final blow.

"..."

The air froze, and the captain's sword only stayed in front of her chest.

"ended."

Onasa knelt on the ground, covered the wounds on her body, panting heavily.

"you lose……"

His purple eyes were distracted for a moment, and he quickly helped up the two men in black who had been neglected for a long time, and walked to the bushes.

"..." The girl just sat there blankly, letting her weapon stay where it was. For some reason, she felt that her determination seemed to be shattered in an instant.

"Go and heal the wound," he turned his back, his silver bangs covered his purple eyes, "otherwise he will die..."

The footsteps gradually disappeared until the night wind passed by and the bushes stopped making noise.

Onasa still didn't move at all, the red liquid kept flowing out, but she could only feel the emptiness in her heart.
