26 Four, in the woods.

"At night, we call in demons, which means we'd better go wild until we get to him."

I told Shea and Yulin.

Accommodation throughout the town risks a summoned demon attacking the town.

"It's okay. I'm with you, so it's not dangerous, Yulin."

Shea squeezed Lilyn's hand.

"With my skills, all enemies within ten meters will be destroyed. We're not gonna need Shea's help."

"I'm not worried about the enemy attack, but the..."

Look at me for a second, Shea.

For some reason, I have a jitsu eye.

"Mr. Chrome is a man."

"... you're not gonna tell me what I'm trying to do to Yulin"

"'Cause Yulin's cute, isn't she?"

"Oh, no, I can't believe I'm... Mr. Shea is much more beautiful"

"He said he was cute. Be confident, Yulin. You look great in made-up clothes."

"Oh, this outfit is a hobby...... eheh"

Light up laughing Yulin.

"But since you're such a cute little Yulin, you can't overlook the danger of being exposed to the desires of many men."

Shea, who suddenly becomes a true face.

"Okay? My sister used to say it every time." All men are kedamonos "and" All men are lustful demons ". You have to be careful, Yulin."

"A man is a kedamono... a lusty demon..."

Yulin repeating Shea's words.

I think that's a skewed masculinity.

"So Mr. Chrome wanted my body...!?"

Yurin looked at me with a hazy face.

"No, wait. The conversation is going in a strange direction."

Hi, things are going crazy.

The night, deepens.

We slept side by side.

I'm in the middle, next to Shea to the right, next to Yurin to the left.

"What's wrong, you can't sleep?

Ask Yulin in a low voice.

By the way, Shea had a quieter sleep.

From the signs, it looks like Lilyn stays awake.

I guess I can't sleep because I'm feeling high.

"The... because I've spent the night frightened by demons for several days since I ran away from the institute"

Yulin also answers in a whisper.

"Don't worry, I'm on your side. Any demon dies before he approaches."

Answer me.

"As long as you're on my side, you'll be safe."

"… is Mr. Chrome going to defeat Valerie"

Lilyn woke up her upper body.

In the dark, there are signs of staring at me.

"You're a resentful opponent, too. But he's my vengeful target. I'm sorry, but I'm not giving in."

"Yes, no, I don't mean to. I don't mean revenge."

Looks like Lilyn shook her head.

"Could it be that Mr. Chrome also underwent Valerie's experiment?

"That's the place. I'm dying because of it, and I lost all my magic."

I explained.

The purpose of that spell was to strengthen the brave Euno.

But I guess for Valerie, it was also an experiment.

"My skills are a by-product of that"

"Excuse me. It's like I pryed..."

"No, fine. Anyway, sleep safe from today. I don't know if I can lift the spell I put on your body, but it's possible. Let's go to him first and find some help."

"... thank you. Be nice."

Yurin seemed to smile.

"Am I... kind?

No, I'm only thinking about revenge right now.

I helped Lilyn until I did feel like I couldn't overlook the person being attacked, but I took the interest of being able to ask for guidance from the institute.

Well, it should be.

"I..."

I just snapped, and I could hear you sleeping.

Now it looks like Yurin's asleep.

I'm sure he was tired.

It was a short sleep.

... Me too, let's get some sleep.

Revenge for Valerie - do you want to feed that English spirit?

It was dawn and I woke up.

The sky is still dark.

A little more till sunrise, something like that.

"... Dear Chrome"

Shea was already awake, apparently.

Yurin is still asleep.

"What?

I need to talk to you for a second.

And, Shea.

"You can't be too far from Yulin, just a little more"

"Oh."

We moved a few meters from Yulin.

"Ugh..."

Me losing balance and about to fall.

During my journey, I seem to have more fatigue on my legs than I thought.

"Dear Chrome,"

Shea supported me from the side.

Be dressed like hugs.

Close, there was her face.

"Ah... but I'm sorry"

Blushing Shea.

You don't try to get away from me for some reason, you keep hugging me.

"I'm sorry. He was more tired than I thought."

"No, Master Chrome is weak, and if I can support you, I want to support you."

Look at me, Shea.

Those cheeks still stay upbeat.

"So, what's the story?

I put it back to business.

"... well, I didn't realize last night, but it was this morning and I just thought..."

Shea looked at Lilyn sleeping a few meters over and mumbled.

"Possible trap, huh?

Me.

Shea nodded small,

"Yulin doesn't look very good to my bad daughter. But is it possible that Valerie is using her to set some kind of trap, unconscious herself...?

Because of Valerie's character, it seems possible.

But that's a prerequisite if he's aware of me.

"It was Valerie who put the spell on Master Chrome. Perhaps you are also sensing that Master Chrome is alive or has the power of [darkness] in your hands?

"That's impossible."

Nod me.

"Well, I've already avenged Liot and Irina. It's not strange to deduce my survival and skills to a certain extent."

Especially if he had the best knowledge of [light] and [darkness] within the brave party.

"Alternatively, we may have the means to counter the chromium-like"

And, Shea.

"[Fixed damage] skills have an interval of three seconds. I'll do everything I can to protect you in the unlikely event that you find someone you can't stop."

"... then please"

There won't be, for example, enemies that do 9999 damage and don't die instantly.

But definitely not.

It was comforting to have a knight on my side with excellent white soldier abilities named Shea.

"Of course it is. I am your [subordinate]. Chromium-sama's knight."

Shea to declare.

The chest emitted a blurry light on the lid.

"This is..."

Shea spreads her clothes chest like a surprise.

An unexpectedly abundant chest valley emerges a glowing print in black purple.

Seal like designing a heart.

A testament to [subordinates].

The crest changes from black purple to crimson.
