My Death Flags Show No Sign of Ending

Although the training was rounded up earlier than planned due to Yuno’s invasion, Kazuki would have time to spare.

Recently, I have been working hard to train my sword if I have some free time. It should have started with an eye on the future, but the process of imitating the movements of the game and learning the techniques is becoming addictive.

I haven’t pioneered a way to kill time other than wielding the sword. I have a grudge against this body that I can’t easily go out to the city.

Sometimes I think I’ll read a book quietly, so I pick up some books on the bookshelf and scan them.

While there are many books similar to children’s books, the one that caught the eye of Kazuki was a book related to magic.

is not technical content. It describes in detail the origins and itineraries of magic, typical users and anecdotes about them.

The magic that is taken up is a big skill, and it is only classified as advanced in the game. I will continue reading while convinced that it is like a special move for children.

I found a familiar name in it.

Vincent van Gogh Westervoort.

In the original story, a masterpiece who was the leader of the Knights of the Holy King at a young age. Not to mention the arm of the sword, he is also good at magic so that he can be introduced alongside the great men of history.

To describe him in one word, “super firepower”.

Take advantage of the unusually high defense that you can’t think of just wearing armor, and let the character in the works say something from the front breakthrough to the strongest attack power and twist the opponent. Is the battle style.

And alas, Vincent is an enemy character who fights the protagonist party at the end of the story. Although it is not a last boss, its strength is origami, and it is often killed instantly if the avant-garde is thin and the recovery of the shield role is delayed.

Unlike Harold, he is very popular with players. Most of the players sympathized with “I think he was suffering too”, considering the reason for standing in front of the protagonists and Vincent’s feelings.

Kazuki doesn’t hate Vincent either.

But is it because I possess Harold now? Kazuki suddenly dreamed of a battle between Harold and Vincent, which could not have been the original story, and began to wonder how Harold could win.

The highest firepower in the piece and the work, the fastest in the piece and the work.

Harold would be at a disadvantage if it hits head-on. It won’t last long if it is attacked by Vincent.

However, Kazuki thinks that Harold, who excels in attack speed and variation, should be able to cross each other depending on the situation.

At the time of its release, the concept of depth and 3D movement was not as widespread as it is now, and the battle system of “Brave Hearts” is only horizontal axis movement like a fighting game. rice field. For that reason, not only the operating characters but also the party members are given detailed instructions, and the emphasis is on how to earn the number of combos.

If you become an expert including Kazuki, you can stably connect 80 combos.

But, of course, it’s only when we go to a party of four people.

Harold can connect more than 30 combos in the protagonist battle, even though the performance is set high because it is a single-horse enemy character. In particular, once launched in the air, it will be punched into a punching bag until the life is exhausted unless the combo is interrupted by a fellow attack.

In other words, Harold should keep avoiding attacks anyway to beat Vincent, and when he enters the combo, he should never drop it and slash it endlessly.

Well, if you can do that, no matter who you are, you won’t lose. In other words, if you can’t do that much, it’s difficult to beat Vincent one-on-one.

Then, what if that character was the opponent, Kazuki began to think about the battle with someone who could not have Harold VS one after another.

I think it’s a fun way for deep fans to imagine a virtual battle card and search for a winner.

In this way, my thoughts sometimes derailed and I had a supper on the way, so by the time I read the 100-page book, it was late at night.

Close the pattern and the book, and exhale lightly. It was a very readable book.

When I check the time, the date has already changed.

If you wake up tomorrow, let’s look for a book on swordsmanship. Think about that just before you lie down in bed.

Then Kazuki finally noticed.

(Oh, I left my sword in the woods …)

Because of that, I’ve forgotten until now.

Yunho may have been careful to collect it, but considering that he didn’t visit after that, the sword would still be stuck.

Kazuki makes an irrelevant conviction that an ordinary woman who is an attendant would be reluctant to have something serious.

Actually, you can’t carry a weapon and walk around the territory of Stokes, but why not tell the people in the house where the sword is? I don’t want to be suspicious that I was in such a place, so I just leave it as it is.

Look out from the window. In the night sky peeking through the clouds, a shining moon floated as if to drown out the light of many stars.

The garden illuminated by the moon, which is two times larger than what Kazuki knows, is bright enough to walk without lights.

Kazuki raises his hips as he remembers.

That is serious, and in essence, it’s a weapon. It was uncomfortable to leave a huge weapon outdoors as a Japanese sense. Moreover, that sword is the property of Kazuki 《 Harold 》 . I don’t want to be held responsible in the unlikely event of a problem.

Most humans are sleeping, so they pass through the quiet mansion without sound.

I cut through the unmanned hall as it was, and pushed the door of the front entrance with a profound feeling and went out.

It’s a real man in the woods because it’s brighter than I expected. Even if there is no such thing as a monster, it takes a lot of courage to wander through a pitch-black forest.

It’s better to finish before the moonlight is shaded by clouds.

Slightly detour around the house and head to the back. On the opposite side of the dungeon tower, you will reach the flowerbed facing the southwest.

It seems more correct to describe the spacious flowerbed as a flower field. The colorful flowers are swaying in the gentle breeze.

Kazuki stopped at Erica staring at the landscape.

The first question I felt was “Huh, how are you doing?” I’ve been resting for two weeks, so even if I’m completely relieved, the night breeze will be in my body.

This was just a pure worry. A very common and common-sense reaction in which an adult thinks about a child.

So without any hesitation in taking action, I called out to her to push Erica back into the room with her usual hatred. Without realizing that it would be a step towards breaking down the original and his plans.

If I could repeat this time with my memory of the future, Kazuki would never speak to me. I shouldn’t call it.

But I don’t have such a convenient thing, and Kazuki looks back on the past and feels painfully that this may have been the biggest turning point in his life. It will be a few years later.

It wasn’t now.

“What are you doing at this time?”

Erica shook her thin shoulders in the voice. Erica flutters when she turns around and sees Harold.

I felt a little uncomfortable with the reaction that I had never seen before, but Kazuki narrowed the distance with Erica with a steady step without worrying about it.

“I heard that you’re sick and sleeping. Nevertheless, I think it’s just an idiot to be exposed to the night breeze at this time.”

I think Kazuki “do you say that much?”

From here, “Because I’m not worried about you !?” Tsundere Harold. It’s a human nature that looks down on me, but that’s what I feel.

I don’t want to be a Harold that has become a mass-produced tsundere, even if it’s Kazuki. Just imagining it is a frustrating thing.

“…”

“Don’t stand up and go back to your room. It’s more refreshing. “

Erica stays down without flirting even when she is exposed to words that don’t seem to be very thoughtful.

I can’t really guess what I’m thinking.

“… Hey, don’t shut up, say something”

Harold’s tone begins to get irritated by Kazuki. I felt like. Also known as resignation.

Erica is still silent but basically a savvy kid. Kazuki cuts off the story, judging that continuing words will only hurt her non-resisting girlfriend.

Maybe it’s a lot younger than the original, so I just can’t be honest with the person I hate. If Harold leaves and calms down a little, he will understand what Kazuki was saying.

“Hmm, well. I didn’t know if your physical condition got worse.”

Kazuki 《 Harold >> .

But surprisingly Erica stopped it.

“… Please wait”

“What?”

“Ask me one I have something to do. “

The voice is terribly anxious, but looking at Harold’s eyes as he decides.

Kazuki tilts his head inwardly, wondering if there was anything he wanted to ask with all his might.

Such a question was solved with the following words.

“There are rumors that you magically burned your servant. Is that true?”

(Oh, that Kotoka)

Kazuki calmly accepts Erica’s question. There was no impatience or upset.

When I introduced Erica two weeks ago, I felt that I would soon find out. Since no one, including Kazuki and his parents, is willing to hide, there is no element that does not come out.

And the answer to this was decided from the beginning.

“No, it’s not”

“Well …!”

Clearly Erica walks up to Harold, who denies that.

Kazuki 《 Harold > >> plunges into the abyss.

“I killed two people, a servant and his daughter. Well, it doesn’t matter how many people who aren’t the hero’s narratives.

A change from joy to something incredible … Or, Erica’s eyes are wide open as if she had seen something she didn’t want to believe.

“Why …? Why do you do that …”

Sadness, anger, disappointment.

Erica tries to find out what Harold really is by suppressing the various emotions that boil up.

However, the words he returned were all about Erica’s heart.

“There is no big reason. If I say it strongly, it’s because I hurt my temper.” Harold to.

Erica doesn’t even understand why it’s so easy to kill for that very reason. It seemed like a line that “must not understand” as a person.

“Hey guys are like livestock. Isn’t it my freedom to save or kill with just one mood?”

“I was compassionate and killed my daughter together so that she wouldn’t be lonely for the rest of her life. I might be grateful.”

” Please stop …! “

” After all, it’s an inferior species. I’m free from the time I was born– “

Bread sounds.

The identity was Erica’s palm and Harold’s cheek.

Erica’s patience goes beyond the limits of the statement “inferior species” that discriminates against humans without aristocratic blood.

The right hand that was swung out trembled with anger, and the eyes that shed tears were filled with contempt. With a glaring glance at Harold, Erica was the first in her life to utter abusive words.

“You are the worst human being!”

“So what happened?”

It doesn’t look like it’s endured, and even smiles that make the usual person a fool.

It doesn’t matter to me whether I’m killing people or being accused of being the worst.

Erica realizes. It is impossible to persuade this human being.

“… I have nothing to talk to you anymore”

“Huh, that’s good news”

p>

“Excuse me”

When I was staring at Erica’s back away, my left cheek was slapped and began to claim pain. rice field.

It’s okay to push her out for some reason, but it’s still painful to be directly hostile.

(It doesn’t seem like a “reward”)

It’s bad for some enthusiastic fans, but this is I sigh as if I was amazed that I would be crazy to rejoice.

Well, even if it’s dented, it doesn’t add anything. I decided to think positively, halfway, that it was better than eating Erica’s slap at the age of 18. Erica’s slap after growing up and adventuring is not enough with such a formidable power.

“Don’t fluctuate. If you don’t get used to this degree, you can’t do it anymore.” I got on and was carried somewhere.
