My Death Flags Show No Sign of Ending

Harold Stokes in “Brave Hearts” is not dual wield. The only equipment in the game is a black straight sword, given by Justus, which Harold is currently using with a crystal-embedded sword, which is not possible in the first place.

Of course, there is no kindness there, it is just a substitute that has the role of convincing the surroundings to follow Harold as a convenient piece.

However, it doesn’t end there because Justus is good at plotting.

Harold’s sword has the extraordinary ability to improve the fighting ability by absorbing the magical power of the user, but if this is out of control and you just hold it. If it were to be activated by, Harold would not have received it stubbornly.

Because if this absorbs magical power, it literally really kills you. It can be said that the area where you lie and do not lie is a Justus-like strategy.

Well that’s why Harold has rarely used this power until now. So far, the performance of the sword has been demonstrated only twice.

The first time I found a knight who was accidentally attacked by a monster during a mission and was about to be wiped out, and killed the enemy at the maximum speed to help them. .. The second time at the top of Giran Snow Mountain Ice Dragon 銆?/rp> Hydra 銆? When two bodies were killed instantly.

Both are minutes in time. However, if you are actually killing yourself, even a few minutes can be fatal. It was an indescribable horror not knowing how much my life span was lost.

That’s why Harold hasn’t used the power of this sword as much as possible. Because I don’t want to die

But I couldn’t say so now. That’s because a man named Vincent is a strong enemy.

I constantly move my legs to take advantage of the speed that clearly exceeds it, and while crossing my sword, I see a gap and cast magic as a check. If you get rid of it even a little, you may be swallowed by the violence that is shaken to crush you from the top of the defense, and such offense and defense are repeated many times.

And a momentary gap that is less than a second while confronting Vincent. At that moment, the nerves of the whole body are concentrated.

Harold stepped in at a flash of speed.

Vincent has a much wider attack reach than Harold due to his physique and weapons. It is one of the factors that make us aggressive. Then, it is not always the case that we should close the gap. It is certainly possible to turn offensive with speed and effort, but considering the instantaneous power and reaction speed exerted by Vincent’s firepower and offensive and defensive, that action is too risky. If you expose even a small gap, the offense and defense will change, and you will have to fight in the Vincent space.

Above all, it is judged that Harold does not have enough attack power to drive Vincent into an incombatable state with a single blow, and it is difficult to easily hit the key point against him. I had no choice but to do it.

What do you do?

Harold’s answer is straightforward.

An attack that keeps the check on the main body of avoidance, hits a blow at the chance of hitting, and immediately withdraws from Vincent’s gap. It is a so-called hit and away.

The starting point of the action of swinging up the sword, and almost at the same time, close the gap. Vincent stops the movement and forcibly swings down the big sword while stepping down half a step to make a distance.

However, no matter how strong Vincent is, the formidable power is not felt in the attack.

Harold’s aim is the right arm holding the weapon. The base is open under the armpit, probably because it does not interfere with the movement around the shoulders. I swung the black sword into the gap of defense so that it would slip.

And Vincent left before he was ready. Take a distance again and face each other.

This attack method may be effective in terms of ensuring that the attack is made.

But there are problems. A momentary super-acceleration to close the gap, the magical power must be absorbed by the sword every time it is done. And it is unclear how much magical power and life will be consumed because the battle may be prolonged in this way of fighting.

The underarm of Vincent, covered with a black cloth, just cut. The feeling of cutting it was not the feeling of cutting a living body. Obviously blocked by a hard object.

It’s not that I have no idea what it is. Probably something like Chainmail 銆?/rp> Kusari Katabira 銆? Probably. Unless you’re hit by a critical attack, you still have to cut a few times to break it in the middle of a battle.

If it wasn’t inside a cave that wasn’t very large, I could try a method of taking a distance and cutting off the magic of high formidable power in rapid succession. If you do so, you will either be a magical companion or you will be caught up in a magical cave-in and die crushed.

“Take the trouble …”

I really hate it.

May lose to Vincent and die. You may be exhausted by the sword’s life.

Harold had no choice but to fight to survive.

鈼?

Instead of firewood, the branches of a sticky tree burn with a crackling sound so as to repel the darkness. While holding both knees and watching the flickering flames, Rifa was thinking about something.

It may be more like a worry than a thought. The cause was Harold, and at the same time it was against Erica, who is now acting together.

Erica is the daughter of the Sumeragi family and is now a traveling companion.

His personality is gentle, graceful, and yet he has the strength to speak his own opinions. He is not as naive as a boxed girl, but he sees and hears things from a wide perspective, and his magic and archery skills are incomparable to knights and adventurers around.

The family is good, the humanity is excellent, and the excellence in various fields is also combined. The more I acted together, the more I could understand how perfect a woman named Erica was.

What’s more, Leafa is so beautiful that she has never been alive. It’s no wonder that Colette isn’t confused about himself and talks about his admiration. It may be said that he embodies the ideal of a man.

And Erica seems to be Harold’s fianc茅e …

Although the two parties deny, it’s a complete lie because Francis and Erica’s older brother, Itsuki, all agree that they are fianc茅es. Probably not.

So why does Erica deny it? It may be until then that he hates Harold, but it’s unlikely that a person as good as her would overtly reveal his hatred.

Reefa just remembered a similar feeling of strangeness during this time. It’s Harold’s excessive coldness against Erica.

Harold and Erica both seemed to have a “unlikely” attitude towards each other.

This is a hypothetical story.

But if Harold’s coldness is to keep Erica away. What if the reason is that her death doesn’t hurt her … no, she doesn’t want to hurt her? The kindness of that man with a crooked personality is very difficult to understand, and Rifa says that such probability is fully conceivable.

And Erica also senses that sentiment and takes a stubborn attitude to pretend that he hates Harold as he wishes. What if? Erica has been familiar with Harold since she was a child, and can be called a childhood friend.

I don’t know when Harold has been doing that, but he’s missing some of the perfectionist atmosphere. .. The longer you spend in contact with him, the more chances you’ll notice that it’s missing or too clumsy.

Especially if you are as intelligent as Erica.

There is no clear basis for Leafa’s hypothesis.

It’s just a delusional level story that connects the parts that are not like two people. If you were a regular Leafa, you wouldn’t have thought about it by laughing at it when you came up with such a leap of theory.

The reason why the hypothesis cannot be thrown away. The point is that if a hypothesis equivalent to this idea were to be true or close to it, Erica could be hurt for a lifetime.

The point is how well Erica understands Harold’s situation.

If you’re just trying to keep Erica away and not against it, you probably don’t know that Harold’s lifespan is imminent. right. Harold’s talk to Leafa about lifespan when he first met in Sumeragi’s territory is the main reason to think so.

Erica is by no means the type that expresses disgust. Since he is a human being, he may get angry and some people may dislike it inwardly, but he is definitely capable of hiding it under a smile and acting.

Why is that only for Harold? Isn’t it because Harold wants it?

If it is, it means that you are doing your best for the other person even if you kill your heart.

Rifa thinks so because every time she learns about Erica’s humanity, she doesn’t really hate Harold.

Five of the six traveling together, all but Erica, are a very rare group of people who are friendly to Harold. Certainly rare, Erica has a strong ear to listen to people’s claims.

It was a lump of discomfort from Leafa’s point of view that she stubbornly kept the opinion that Harold was a villain. Liner and Colette’s persuasion that “Harold is not a bad person as rumored” is also a point of “because I can not understand that person”.

It’s as if Erica Sumeragi hates Harold Stokes. It’s hard to believe she would utter such flimsy words just because of her personal disgust.

If anything, it’s better to think that you are taking such a pose for some reason. And what if that’s what he wants for Harold?

If so, would Erica’s heart be tolerated if Harold died? And even though he knew that Harold’s lifespan was running low, he thought that his heart, which had been silent, couldn’t bear the blame he would come to and would collapse.

But if I confess to Erica here, it means that I will break my promise with Harold …

“… I can’t stay”

Exhale such words with a sigh.

Then I heard a voice on his back, which was completely defenseless.

“What’s wrong?”

“Hit …!”

I was about to scream in spite of the surprise, and I managed to endure it.

Rifa’s excessive surprise was not to the sudden call, but to the Lord of the voice.

“What’s wrong? Erica”

“Because it’s time to take turns sleeping”

” Oh, isn’t it too early? ”

“No, it’s already time …”

I was told to look at the clock. As Erica said, it was about time to change in a few minutes.

Apparently, I was concentrating on my thoughts. If you look at it, Liner, who is the companion of the sleepless turn, was asleep. It seems that he was indulging in thought so much that he didn’t even notice such a thing.

“Oh, that’s true. I’m sorry, I forgot to wake up.”

“It doesn’t matter. Seems to be … “

” Ah … “

I’m worried about the relationship between Erica and Harold. It is hard to say honestly. It’s like plunging into a minefield.

There is also a promise with Harold that he will not talk about lifespan. Above all, I don’t think Erica will answer when I try to hear it head-on. However, it doesn’t suit my gender to hold my hand without doing anything.

Then, let’s change the perspective of the story and shake it. After confirming that he and Erica were all in a deep sleep, Rifa cut it out, thinking that this might be extra care.

“… Erica, do you have a favorite person?”
