My Death Flags Show No Sign of Ending

It was an emotion that was difficult to express in words. Do you think that the most appropriate thing is deep emotion?

I’ve finally come to meet Liner, the protagonist of Brave Hearts. We met the encounter that would have been five years away if it was the same as the original.

Although completely unexpected, the possibility of establishing a friendly relationship with Liner proved that my actions so far were not wrong. I felt like.

The corner of the mouth rises unintentionally. It was a very evil smile.

The people around me who witnessed the face were attacked by the chills and moved back all at once. Harold, whose consciousness has already switched to Liner, is unaware of such a situation.

How can I get credit? What is Liner’s current strength? Do you have a close relationship with Collet as in the original?

That’s all that’s in Harold’s head right now.

In fact, shortly after understanding that this was the world of Brave Hearts, Harold once decided to avoid his own death flag. I once thought that I didn’t have to move around.

In other words, this world is a creation.

A story with a fixed ending, woven by the person and fate determined by the creator.

There is always a protagonist in the story.

And there is a protagonist correction in the protagonist.

It can be said that the creator’s intention is a general term for the tremendous power that the surrounding environment, the surrounding flow, and the world itself are on the side. Of course, Liner has also been helped by them in the game.

Otherwise, no matter how good you are, less than 10 people can’t save the world.

But conversely, if the Liner is a protagonist, the world will be on his side. This world must be made that way.

So I doubted that Harold Stokes, a tiny existence, needed to do everything. If you don’t do anything extra and quickly leave the stage of the original story and become an unnamed villager A, you will be far from the danger.

I think it’s okay to wait in the corner of the world like a supporting character until the story reaches a happy ending.

When I think about it now, I think it was an escape because I wanted to flinch at the end of my life and throw out my role. Still, I wasn’t invited by the sweet water because of the fact that I was able to save Clara.

With the help of Harold, she survived the supposed death.

After all, even though this is a world that closely resembles the game “Brave Hearts”, there is no correction power that follows the original story.

If this hypothesis is correct, if Harold escapes, there will be no alternative villain. It’s like the story is missing. That can have a negative impact on the growth of the protagonist.

Harold has been involved in the original to avoid the situation that the protagonist who couldn’t grow as much as the original couldn’t save the world.

(… But if you think about it the other way around, it’s possible to strengthen Liner)

Minus I didn’t think of it until I was so distracted by the face that I actually met, but by gaining more experience than the original and by incorporating efficient tactics for each enemy, Liner may become stronger than the original. ..

With such a spirit, Harold waits for a confrontation with Liner. The other participants who collided before fighting him were completely defeated with a touch of armor sleeves.

And the decisive battle with Liner that I visited was a stage that was strangely made by someone called the final.

Both wins are overwhelming. Few could fight them with their swords.

When the two face each other, the excitement of the audience reaches its climax.

“I’ve come this far as promised”

“Of course. If it’s not just your mouth, show your power.”

“I want it!”

With a very strong face, Liner said without hesitation. I have a feeling that I will definitely win.

I think I couldn’t control that feeling. Liner started at the same time as the game started.

A flash of calm like paying the other party. Harold, who went back and avoided it, was immediately attacked by Liner’s pursuit.

From right, left, top, bottom, sometimes head-on. Harold calmly shoots down all the sword attacks that are uninterrupted.

Speed, power, technology. Certainly, all of them stand out from the opponents who have fought so far.

I’m convinced that I was able to reach the final without any danger.

But that was it. There is no threat to Liner’s capabilities.

(Hey … is it really like this?)

From Harold’s point of view, fifty with other participants. It was a hundred steps.

At the moment, Liner is level 1 in terms of games, and may be lower if age is taken into consideration. With that in mind, it’s safe to say that Harold has too much hope, but I wonder if this really makes him a hero who saves the world.

Harold felt neither angry nor disappointed when he witnessed the power of Liner. I was worried that it would be heavy.

◇

It was a shocking sight for Liner.

A triumphant competition. The boy, who appeared before his turn, ended the game in a blink of an eye at a speed that seemed to disappear.

Harold. The boy of God speed, who is difficult to even follow with his eyes, called himself so.

Moreover, Harold, who has such strength, acknowledged his strength. It was a joy for Liner, who has worked hard to be strong and to protect his loved ones.

But at the same time, I felt regret that the boy who was the same age as me was so strong.

So I’m serious. Liner confronted Harold with even more feeling, as if he had always challenged and bounced off his parents.

Hit everything you have.

But still, Liner’s sword doesn’t reach Harold.

(Why don’t you hit a single blow !?)

Over 50 sword attacks. Most of them are played with a sword, and those that are not can be easily avoided by simply turning away.

Although it is a thin and light longsword, it can be used freely with one hand to handle Liner’s attacks very easily.

Moreover, Harold has not yet fought at a speed that would disappear in this match. He continues to give Liner a chance to stop and attack as much as he wants.

It’s like a defense. Unlike the flashy fighting style so far, the spectators whisper Harold firmly.

However, for Liner with a sword, he was aware of a clear difference in ability every time he attacked. It is close to despair as if you were attacking a strong fortress with a tall and thick wall with a single sword.

Harold retreated after seeing a slight sword dull at the moment of a small crack in Liner’s heart.

And throw away Liner’s ability.

“I’m disappointed. I can’t talk”

“What !?”

” Is that true? Your attack isn’t even scratched. It’s useless after repeated times. “

” Harold hasn’t even attacked! “

“I’m stupid. You can always do that,”

Harold executes the word. As soon as he noticed that he had disappeared from sight, he was cut off the sword he was holding in both hands.

The blade is split in two, and the tip of the sword slides on the stone floor with a rattle. What remained in my hand was a sword that was less than half the length.

All the weapons used in the fighting competition are imitation swords with crushed blades. Even so, I can’t even imagine how much skill would be required to make such a clean cut.

And the most surprising thing is that speed. It was completely different from seeing from the outside and actually facing each other. I’m getting close to it without even seeing anything.

“I can’t help but be amazed that I can’t react to this extent”

“Damn …”

I lost. I was able to show the difference between adults and children.

It was the first time in my life that I lost to a human of the same age with the power of a sword. I never thought it was so frustrating.

Liner turned his face down to look away from the presence of Harold, who was too far away.

After that, my defeat was declared and it was over-I thought so, but the referee never raised his voice.

Liner, who wondered about it and raised his face, saw Harold pointing his imitation sword at the referee.

“… Eh?”

The spectacle beyond the scope of understanding suddenly blows away regret and defeat. Will be defeated.

Harold, who is the key, threatened the referee for some reason.

“Hey, what do you think about ending the match even though this guy doesn’t admit to losing?”

“No, his weapon broke and I can’t fight anymore …”

“If so, I should use another one.”

“Yes …?”

This time, Liner and the referee are confused by the words. Ignoring them, Harold began to wind up his sword from other tournament participants under the stage.

Harold wins this game no matter who you look at. Liner had already admitted to losing just because he didn’t say it.

“Liner”

“What?”

Handed over conveniently Harold with a new imitation sword returns in front of Liner. He then randomly threw it at the feet of the wary Liner.

“Pick up if you still have the intention to fight”

“…”

Liner Silently stares at the thrown sword. If he is a normal man, he will pick it up without hesitation and challenge the rematch.

I hesitate now because Harold was too strong. If there were such strong enemies in the same age group, I wouldn’t be enemies.

I was afraid that I would admit it.

Trying to protect your self-esteem and pride is close to your instinct. Moreover, Liner had never lost a sword to anyone other than his parents.

It is now completely defeated by Harold, and if you fight any more, you will be overwhelmed by the loss. Your heart may break.

So I decided to stop.

“What are you looking for strength?”

It was Harold who discouraged that decision. It was a question.

“What, for …”

Why do you want to be stronger?

Because your dream is to become the leader of the Knights? Do you want to beat your father or mother someday?

Certainly there is that too. It’s an old dream and a familiar goal. However, I felt that it was not the correct answer.

How did you come to have a goal for that dream? Why did I long for the leader of the Knights?

(If you become stronger, you can become a knight. If you become a knight, you can protect various people …)

Protect. What a vague and simple feeling.

But that’s right. Liner’s thirst for strength, its primordial essence, was laughable.

When I was younger than I am now, one of my friends was being bullied by a child in an older village. The difference between one year and two years in children is very large.

To overturn it, Liner asked for strength. To protect your friends and to defeat big and powerful opponents.

A sense of justice that lives in you. I had to be strong to put it into practice. I wanted the power to protect important things.

“… I have something I want to protect. I have to be the strongest to protect it all!”

I promised that I was a childhood friend who was always noisy.

Never make me cry again. For that reason, I want to be stronger than anyone else.

So no matter how strong you are, Liner must win. You can’t give up until you win.

“Protect everything? It’s like a hero”

“But that’s my resolution”

“Hmm, no matter how much you prepare, it’s just humorous if you don’t have the power to match it.” p>

The flame of fighting spirit dwells in Liner’s eyes again. The hand holding the sword is hot.

The heat spreads from the right hand to erode the body. It feels like the whole body is pulsating and blood is boiling.

My body and mind became lighter at once.

“I’m going, Harold!”

Kick the ground powerfully, leaving yourself to the feeling of floating and slashing. I found out just by doing the series of actions.

I’m swinging a sharp sword faster than any other time. Even so, I can still feel the power coming out from the inside of my body.

I can’t control my excitement. No, Liner, who has no intention of suppressing it, launches an onslaught as it is.

Looking at Harold’s appearance, he repelled the attack as before, but his expression was hatefully distorted.

A snapping sound tells you that you are pushing Harold. As we approached victory, we were even more powerful.

“Ahhhhh!”

A sword with all your strength.

Harold barely avoids it. When the sword that cut the sky collided with the stone floor, a crack ran in the floor to tell the formidable power.

Harold, who looked sideways at that, leaked his words.

“Here is’Brave mode’? You are …”

“Hah, huh … Brave, mode …” …? ”

Listen back to the words you heard for the first time. Then I finally realized that I was breathing up.

It seems unlikely that this state will continue for a long time. Then all the thoughts are postponed.

Re-grasp the handle of the sword, raise a enthusiastic voice, and launch an attack that you do not know how many times it will be.

“Yeah!”

“Don’t worry!”

This time Harold responded. A dizzying exchange of sword attacks.

The spectators take a breather in a battle that does not seem to be a battle between children, and the metallic sound of the swords colliding dominates the venue. Everyone on the spot is attracted to the appearance of the two, and I’m worried about the whereabouts of the game, but I want to watch this game for as long as possible. Such conflicting feelings come to me.

But there is no such thing as eternity. Eventually, the end of the game between the two will come.

“Gut …!”

Liner’s legs were tangled and he managed to stop when he was about to fall. .. It was because my body, which should have been light, suddenly became heavier.

The muscles of the limbs are heavy as if they were transformed into lead, and it is painful as if you couldn’t take in air even if you breathed in.

(No … I’m back. As usual …)

Liner moves in ways that I wouldn’t normally be able to do It was repeated. The reaction has just come.

I’m about to reach the limit of my grip strength with a sword. Just standing up makes my legs tremble, and if I get rid of it even a little, I’m likely to fall.

I fought well. After all, Harold couldn’t hit the attack properly, but it’s still a great fight.

I couldn’t fight this far if I was yesterday. So it’s okay to take a rest.

Harold is no match.

“… What can I say !!”

Liner screamed and drowned out the creeping bearish heart. ..

Even if you can’t win or you don’t have an enemy, you won’t just give up. To fulfill my vow with Colette.

The flame is still unshadowed. On the contrary, it will continue to burn.

The surrounding wind winds backwards as if in response to such a Liner. The red hair is fierce like a flickering flame.

Next and last. Because it’s the last, I pour in what I have.

The whole body is released. A swing of the whole body that puts all the efforts and thoughts that Liner has accumulated so far.

If it can be accepted–

“Stop it!”

A crimson flame erupts with a rumbling sound from the blade that is swung out like a trunk bamboo split.

It’s a flame with Liner’s will. A thirst for victory that embodies his strong feelings.

The best blow in the 12 years that Liner has lived. I was convinced that I had released that much.

A roaring flame attacks Harold straight. The moment when the flame inflates the body when swallowing the body.

A white flash of light that filled my field of vision ran. Almost as soon as everyone closed their eyes irresistibly, a roaring sound that cut through the air echoed.

Some give up and some scream in fear.

A terrible invasion that forces living things to detect danger and fear.

Only humans away from the venue could correctly recognize the identity.

The venue was hit by a huge lightning strike that I had never seen before. Suddenly pouring from the sky, which should have been sunny, it crushed the flames that tried to burn Harold without question.

Of course, you don’t have to think about who’s doing it. Harold is the only one at the venue who is unwavering and calm.

He was released by a boy who was only 13 years old.

“Haha … Seriously …”

Even a single blow that I squeezed until my soul was exhausted did not reach Harold. .. On the contrary, he leisurely went over the Liner.

I have no choice but to laugh when I see such a scene. However, Liner didn’t have the energy to smile.

Haze and weak legs. The Liner falls forward without even moving one of its fingers.

It was Harold who received and supported the body. Harold, hugging Liner’s chest with his right arm, says as if he was amazed.

“I’m stupid. If you can do that, do it from the beginning”

“It’s too strict, you …”

“That” probably means the last blow. I was caught up to the point where I couldn’t stand on my own feet, but I was able to release it because I struggled to win.

It’s not a technique that can be used so much.

Frightened by the existence of a person who is more spartan than his mother, Liner could barely say so in a soft voice. I wonder if I’ve really used up my power with this, and I lose consciousness in Harold’s arms.

Harold gives a compliment that no one can reach when he sees Liner being entrusted to a rushed paramedic and carried on a stretcher.

“But I’ll cancel the disappointment. Your power seems to reach my feet.”

I was always looking from above, but it was an unmistakable praise.

You probably didn’t hear Harold’s words on the fainted Liner. However, Liner’s face lying on the stretcher seemed to be laughing with satisfaction.
