One step, one more step and...

I'm getting closer to Euno.

The number displayed at the end of the field of vision is' 11 '.

That means my distance to him is 11 meters.

In one meter you will be in the skill's range of effects.

Before his [light], I don't know if my skills will work as they are.

Will it be defended?

Will it be offset?

Worst case scenario is eating counterattack after being deactivated.

But I'm not stopping.

There's no way we can stop him in front of us.

"If you have the power of [darkness], I have [light]. We're not gonna get fucked!

Euno set up the sword in his hand.

An elegant long sword reminiscent of a work of art - The Sacred Sword of the True Brave (Archweiss).

Even the Demon King Vilgarodomus was torn apart, the most powerful sword in the world.

"Do you want to see if you can kill my [Darkness] with that?

"Come."

Euno told him with a frivolous face.

I took a step further.

The number at the end of the field of vision changes from '11' to '10'.

Finally, the skill range.

"Behold, my sword, 'Arkweiss'! With holy [light], cleave the evil [darkness]!

Euno waved down the holy sword with an upright dialogue.

A yellow and white slaughter sweeps away the black scaly powder.

The moment...

"Ugh...!?"

"Ku...!?"

We groaned at the same time.

Vision, dazzles.

The scenery shakes like a pneumonia.

"What, is this!?"

Something's coming up behind my brain...

There are two figures in the dark room.

A young man with a refreshing impression and a beautiful woman with a clear appearance.

Yuno and Irina.

"As it is, we cannot beat the Demon King. No, you can't even beat that executive... while the difference in performance opens with other brave parties"

"Euno......"

Irina reached out to Yuno with a distressed look on her face.

Apparently, it was like a sight two years ago.

"The reason is my lack of strength. Sorry. If I were stronger..."

"Euno, stop blaming yourself"

Irina's hand strokes Euno's cheek.

"There is me or chromium. I have other people. Let's all hang in there."

"Thank you. You're sweet, Irina."

"You are the one. It always cares about everyone."

Dye your cheeks red and the two stare at each other.

The atmosphere that drifted was entirely between lovers, or one step ahead of them.

"... one thing, Mr. Valerie found a valid spell."

Euno said.

"The spell, is it?

"In the meantime, you've explored ancient ruins, haven't you? Look for weapons that can fight the Demon King's army."

And, Euno.

"The spell I found there will make me stronger."

"Well, that's good news"

Irina smiles happily.

Euno on the other hand clouds his expression,

"It's just... you need a sacrifice to use that spell."

"Sacrifice..."

"Sacrifice someone in the party, and I will gain a great deal of strength. That's what Mr. Valerie explained."

"So, who to sacrifice...?

Irina's expression is blue.

It's about this woman.

In my head, I guess I'm thinking about who I'm going to trump in the party.

I guess I'm the only one who thinks the best way to survive.

The look I feared also made me feel nothing but whiteness now that I knew what this guy was all about.

"We cannot sacrifice our dear companions. I don't want to. But I can't sacrifice myself to gain strength as a brave man."

Euno groaned.

"Nor can Mr. Valerie, who performs the spell, naturally be sacrificed. So the remaining candidates are Chrome, Farah, Margo, and... you, Irina."

"… so, I will… sacrifice"

Irina said in a trembling voice.

Keep your face on Euno.

"Irina......? Hmm...... Huh!?"

Flowery lips blocked Euno's lips.

"Well, what..."

Euno with a surprised face.

"... sorry. Before I died, I wanted to share my thoughts."

Irina smiled embarrassingly.

"I have an opponent named Chrome who has vowed to the future. I knew I shouldn't... but I fell in love with Euno sometime."

… Naturally, Irina is doing everything by calculating it.

A special claim that I will be sacrificed.

If I made a confession of love afterwards, Euno, who would have originally admired Irina, wouldn't be able to sacrifice her, I guess I stepped on it.

"Me too... same. I couldn't contain my feelings for you, thinking it was bad for my best friend Chrome."

"Oh, we're destined not to be bound, are we?"

"No, what if... without him"

Euno said in a trembling voice.

"Oh Euno...... it's horrible. Don't say any more."

Irina, who tells and nags.

I saw it.

Irina is laughing, at an angle unseen from Euno.

Be sure you're on your way to talking about sacrificing me.

"It's okay. I'll bear the sin. You just... think about being happy, Irina."

"Oh Yuno...... I love you"

"Me too, my dear Irina."

It was an exchange that seemed to cause revulsion.

I glanced cold at the scene where Euno and Irina lay their lips on each other and held onto the bed as they were.

─ ─ After that, there is nothing notable.

A few days later, Irina asked me to marry her.

The more anger, hatred, and despair of those who sacrifice, the greater the curse, the more effective it will be.

So I guess Irina asked me to marry her as a bottom prep to stir up my despair.

And congratulations, I floated around knowing nothing.

That night I saw her and Euno meet, and I was greatly shocked.

Plus the party members were set up and sacrificed.

"All connected."

The way I've come to my present situation.

Back there, what happened.

Well, most of it was already heard from Irina and Valerie, and I knew it.

Once again, I saw the exchange between them, and I realized it was a definite reality.

Thank you, Euno.

Thanks to you, I was able to reaffirm my feelings.

I will not forgive you.

What I'm trying to do to you is not wrong.

We need to take this path... and push the avenge route.

I could further strengthen my certainty.
