The World of Otome Games is Tough For Mobs

Volume 6, 10 - The User



Volume 6, Chapter 10 - The User

-… Kahah!

When I was attacked by the handle of Serge\'s spear, I was pushed back and it caused me to vomit.

I\'m sorry I made a mess in the room where Louise is, but that wasn’t important now.

Unlike me, who is in rough shape, Serge was still full of energy and unmarked.

In other words, none of my attacks had hurt him."What did you do to make yourself so strong?" Serge is strong. He is definitely strong.

I had heard that he had trained as an adventurer, but I didn\'t expect him to be that strong.

Serge, who kicked me and made me suffer, had an aggressive personality and was ruthless.

-That\'s it!? You are a hero !? What “Evil Knight”!? Your strength is based on lost items! Without that you are trash!”

I struggled to hold on as he trampled me mercilessly.

Blood was coming out of the corner of my mouth, and I managed to get up and wipe it off with my hand.

Serge was in a much better shape, although he should be tired from the constant attacks.

"Haa… haa… Y-You, you look pretty good."

Attacking someone is an act of physical exhaustion.

It seemed unnatural to see that Serge wasn\'t breathing heavy as he attacked me.

Looking at me unsteady, Serge took something out of his pocket, drank the liquid from a small vial, and tossed it on the floor.

-A drug…?

"A drug to strengthen the body, now I can keep beating you up.” Serge\'s gaze fell on Louise as he said that.

The words were not directed at me, but at Louise.

Louise\'s face, surrounded by her servants, was blue and she shook her head.

-Serge. Stop.

Serge spread his hands, shattering Louise\'s hopes.

"The fun has just begun! I\'m going to show you how he can vomit blood, guts and die a very pitiful death!”

He\'s an extreme guy.

But still, a drug that strengthens the body.

This was mentioned in Marie\'s strategy information.

It has the effect of temporarily increasing your status, and is probably a standard item in games.

"Are you ever going to fight me on your own?" "There are no rules for killing each other, you know." I agree with that.

But…

Serge\'s fist, with his enhanced physical abilities, came up to me, hit me, and sent me flying up to the wall.

I hit the wall with my back, shattering the wall I fell into."Urgh …

I spat blood, and when Louise saw me, she passed by the servants and stood in front of me, spreading her hands.

Serge\'s eyes narrowed.

-What are you doing?

-It\'s enough. Don\'t hurt Leon any more."He was the one who attacked first!"

-But still! … Still, stop.

As Serge held his spear, the people around him stopped him.

"Young Serge! Louise-san has a mission to do! I have been ordered to deliver her to the tops of the Sacred Tree unharmed!

The maid stopped him and Serge lowered the tip of his spear. The way Serge looked at me was very cold.

"I am sincerely disappointed. I was hoping we could play a little more.”

Louise helped me to painfully stand up, and then she assisted me out of the room as I was.

The maids tried to stop her, but Louise strictly ordered them to stop.

"Don\'t come!… I\'m not going anywhere. But if he stays here, he will kill Leon, and I will leave until I am in a safe place. I\'ll be right back.”

I left the room with being supported by Louise’s shoulder.

Louise walked down the aisle of the ship, lending her shoulder to Leon. She couldn\'t stop crying.

She was saddened to see how Serge hurt Leon, who looked like her brother, and she was sad to see him hurt.

"You are really stupid!"

-Hahaha I\'m sorry.

Before leaving, Leon\'s message to Alberg was, "I\'m sorry." Louise now understood what that meant.

"This is what you meant when my father told me."

-… Are you angry?

-I\'m furious! You are going to be in big trouble for your actions. Before I die, I will ask for your life to be saved, but I don\'t know what will happen.

I\'m going to defend Leon and the others before jumping in as a sacrifice. However, I cannot guarantee that they will be safe.

"You don\'t have to do this, Leon. Its my choice. Like I told you before, I don\'t mind being sacrificed. I\'ll be there for my brother.”

She was very scared.

She wanted someone to help her.

But Louise could no longer bear the sight of her brother\'s suffering in her dreams every night.

I\'m sure my brother won\'t feel lonely if I\'m there for him.

In the past, she thought of it as an atonement for her sins by not being able to help him, and she accepted it.

Then, unexpected words came out of Leon\'s mouth."You\'ve always had a strong sense of duty."

-Eh?

He said those things as if he had known her for a long time, and immediately floated the question of, "Didn\'t we know each other for a short time?"

But Louise had nightmares every night and her judgment was impaired.

"I was going to disappear once I fulfilled my New Years Festival promise.

But then it became a problem because the Sacred Tree did something unnecessary.”

"W-What are you …?"

-… It\'s me. You didn’t know?

?Stop teasing me! It\'s not funny.

Leon\'s words sounded like they were her little brother\'s.

That was never going to happen, and yet Louise\'s heart wished it would.

Leon held his stomach and smiled. However, you could see that he was in pain. It was a painful sight.

"Didn\'t you blame me for wetting the bed when we slept together a long time ago? … You were angry and didn\'t speak to me for a week.”

Louise hadn\'t told Leon that story."H-How do you know?"

"I wanted to make up for it, so I made a paper ring as a gift. I apologized in front of everyone for what I did, and you forgave me.”

Finally, Leon apologized in front of his family for what he had done, and Louise forgave him.

The apology was a ring, and Leon, who was in a good mood at the time, even promised to marry her.

I didn\'t want to talk too much because the confession process was terrible.

Louise couldn\'t stop crying.

-Heavens. How could you!? Why are you telling me this now? Leon explained it quietly as he hugged Louise, who was sobbing.

"It wouldn\'t be a problem for me to be born again, would it? All I wanted to do was appear for a moment. I wanted to see everyone\'s faces.”

-You should have told me! I\'ve always wanted … to apologize to you! Louise couldn\'t speak as she cried into Leon\'s chest.

She thought her intuition was correct and believed that her brother was reborn in front of her. She closed her eyes to the unnatural parts and only looked at the facts she wanted to believe.

"I didn\'t want to tell you because you were going to cry like that. I do not hold grudges. Didn\'t I say that in my last moments?”

Louise nodded and remembered the moment.

All he could do was look at Leon, who seemed to be in pain. Leon spoke of the moment.

"Do you really think I want you to sacrifice yourself? I was smiling to the end, right?

-Yes. Yes. You did.

This happened when his brother\'s death was approaching.

Around the suffering Leon were all the great doctors Alberg had assembled. There was nothing to do about it, and everyone was looking with their heads down. Alberg asked for help.

"I\'ll get you what you want! So help me save my son! I have heard that you are a great doctor. That you can even bring the dead back to life!”

The famous doctor shook his head.

"The dead do not come back to life. It is an exaggerated gossip. I\'m sorry for your son, but I have no idea why this is happening to him. I have no idea why he is weakening. It\'s like his soul wants to leave his body.

Oddly enough, there was no disease in Leon\'s body. He just got weaker. So the doctors couldn\'t treat it.

"That\'s what the master of curses said! So keep that soul together!”

They had assembled a group of experts on that sort of thing, but they had all given up on the idea that there was anything that could be done about it.

-… We are doctors. We are not masters of curses. Alberg squeezed his hand, and blood seeped from it. Louise squeezed Leon\'s hand.

"Leon, you can\'t die. You made a promise, right? There are many of them. If you do not comply and die, I will never forgive you. You\'re going to be a guardian, right? You\'re going to marry your sister, right?”

Hearing this, Leon smiled.

It was painful to see him smile, he seemed to be in pain.

-I\'m sorry. But… I will always keep my promise. When you have problems… come to me. When Leon began to suffer, he could not speak.

Louise shook her head and then hugged Leon\'s body.

Even as a child, when she heard Leon\'s soul was leaving him, she desperately tried to hold it together with her body.

-Do not go. Don\'t leave your sister! In the end, Leon had died that day.

"I didn\'t ask for you to be sacrificed."

"T-Then why could I hear you? You screamed for help!”

"The Sacred Tree does not bloom. There must be a reason for this.”

-Reason?

"We\'ll look into it. So, until then, I need you to trust me and follow me.

Before she knew it, Louise had been led onto the deck by Leon. That\'s where Arroganz was.

Soldiers were approaching Arroganz, and armed units were all around him. Leon turned to look at Louise.

-I\'m sorry about everything. But we will be together from now on. Louise hugged Leon.

Right after that ---

-What!?

--- The deck of the aircraft began to shake violently when Leon\'s voice was heard in panic.

When Louise turned her gaze to the surroundings, the altitude was increasing."Is it floating?"

Einhorn collided with a large aircraft that was stuck.

It was as if he was being guided by the tops of the Sacred Tree. Leon hugged Louise and tried to enter Arroganz.

-Let\'s go.

"W-Wait a minute, there\'s something strange."

Serge was running down the corridor of the ship."She tricked me at the last minute!"

Serge, who had been keeping an eye on Louise and Leon, ran out onto the deck. When he arrived, he saw Leon and Louise.

When he saw them hugging, something happened inside Serge "Do you really think you can get away with it?"

Leon was silent, but Louise answered Serge."Serge, leave me alone for now."

Serge, who was listening to the conversation between Leon and Louise, started laughing like a fool.

"Do you really think your brother has come back to life? You really are a stupid fool! Did you forget that this guy is the same age as your brother?

If Leon really was the reincarnation of his brother, then it was strange that they were the same age.

After being told the obvious, Louise looked at Leon\'s face in surprise.

-Leon?

Looking at the silent Leon, Serge drew his pistol.

-You are a swindler. A weak Louise could easily be fooled, but don\'t think that the same is true of those around you. I\'m going to kill you right here, you false hero who only knows how to talk.

Louise desperately asked Leon a question.

-Leon? Just tell me one thing. What did the ring you gave me say? It was our little secret. You know it right? Truth!?

A ring made of paper and written by his brother.

This was a secret between the two of them and a question that no third party could answer. Leon replied.

-Did I write" I love you "?

He replied without making eye contact with Louise, but that was a mistake.

When Louise walked away from Leon, she expressed her disgust.

-You tricked me.

"It\'s a shame because things were going so well until the last minute." The great airship had reached the top of the Sacred Tree.

Louise took a step back and distanced herself from Leon.

When Leon tried to grab her by force, Serge fired his gun between them on the ground. -Do not move. Stay here. Look, there are flowers on the Sacred Tree.

You could see various flowers on the Tree.

Hundreds of slender rope-like tentacles emerged from the white chrysanthemum-like flowers.

Those tentacles were looking for Louise. And then a voice was heard.

"Sister … where are you? Sister, where are you?”

Louise realized that this was her brother\'s voice and raised her voice.

-Here! I\'m here! Leon, your sister is here!

The tentacles that responded to the voice moved closer to Louise.

As Leon, who had only been watching, rushed to stop her, Serge fired another shot.

He was mercilessly shooting at Leon.

-Dammit!

Leon sacrificed himself to prevent the bullets from hitting Louise. That\'s why he couldn\'t reach her.

Louise herself jumped off the deck and was caught by the tentacles and carried to a flower as is.

"Louise!"

Leon held out his hand in frustration, but as if he had given up, he looked at Serge.

-Second round. No one will help you this time.

After firing all of his bullets, Serge dropped his gun again. He took out of his pocket a drug to strengthen his body.

He drank it and threw the empty bottle away. Then he picked up his spear.

Leon walked over to Serge.

There were no signs of picking up a weapon.

"Hey, is that sword at your waist an ornament? At least take out your gun…"

"Get out of the way.”

-… What!?

In an instant, Leon closed the distance and slammed his fist into Serge\'s face, hitting him against the deck.

It was a single hit.

Serge was on his back when he was hit once by Leon\'s fist. As he was lying there, Leon headed towards Arroganz.

Luxon had joined him there.

[It doesn\'t go as planned, right? You haven\'t got Louise back, have you?]

"I almost had it! Sh*t! It was because of that Leon for having done something like a secret between the two that the plans went to waste.”

Serge tried to get up, but the damage was more severe than expected and he was unable to stand.

The drug made it less painful, but he couldn\'t move his body.

Leon got on Arroganz and flew away, ignoring Serge and the others. With a bloody nose, Serge\'s hatred for Leon grew.

"S-So he wasn\'t being serious. T-That bastard used me, huh?”

Serge trembled with rage as he realized he let himself get hit in front of Louise on purpose. He had never been humiliated like this before.

The trust he had built so far collapsed with a bang.

Inside the Arroganz cockpit.

As I approached the flower blooming in the tops of the Sacred Tree, I saw that it had grown disgusting tentacles.

"Is this thing really a sacred plant?" It was very grotesque.

Hundreds of tentacles made their way through the flower and wouldn\'t let me get close. Arranged around it was a cylindrical floating machine.

"What is that, Luxon?"

[It is the defense equipment manufactured by Ideal. I was interfering with it, but I couldn\'t analyze it.]

"Serge, have you really gone that far?"

[It took some time, but I\'ve already analyzed it. Normally, I would have liked to burn him with the main body cannon as soon as possible, but failed to convince him, so it was impossible.]

"It was working to the end!" So what is that flower about?

The reason I parted company with Luxon was for him to investigate the flower.

We hadn\'t been able to examine it until now because it was blocked by Ideal\'s defense team.

[That has nothing to do with the Sacred Tree. It is connected to it, but it is only receiving power.]

-It\'s something more?

[I detect a reaction from a magical armed unit. I\'m not saying it\'s a full body, but it\'s a spell-possessed form that has a partial core.]

-Are you kidding me.

I imagined him as the old black knight who fought in the war against the old Principality of Fanoss.

That old man tried to kill me.

A magical armed unit… is a weapon prepared by the new humans to fight against Luxon and other artificial intelligences. In other words, it is an inconvenient substitute.

[It is true.]

"You\'re telling me that captured Louise!" That means…

If magic merged with her, there would be no way to save her.

Because once the magical armed unit merges with a human, they become inseparable.

And people who merge, don\'t live long.

[No, if the core is still there, I can save it. It\'s lucky that some of that remains. However, if we don\'t save her immediately, they will surely merge.]

"Then we\'ll get her back in the blink of an eye."

But still, why did the magic unit choose Louise? Did you go to the trouble to speak like Leon? Was Leon really captured?

No, that cannot be.

Don\'t tell me he took Leon\'s soul. I couldn\'t organize my thoughts. Then Luxon warned me.

[I see. What the magical armed unit was looking for was a person with the blessing of the Holy Tree.]

-What?

[It is attacking.]

As the flowers of the Sacred Tree withered to rest, seeds emerged from them.

The large seeds cracked and huge hands came out.

What forced him to hatch was similar to the black knight\'s magical armed unit he had seen earlier.

"Hey, could it be that Louise is in on that?"

[She is being absorbed. She is being used as a source of energy. What very annoying things. You want to destroy it?]

"Not until I save Louise."

When I approached with Arroganz, the magical armed unit reacted.

It was using Louise\'s voice.

[All right. These body parts are surprisingly… very good. The depleted supply of energy will become an inexhaustible supply of energy! At this rate, I will destroy everything in this world!]

Facing the magical armed unit with both hands outstretched, I let Arroganz attack with a slash from his tomahawk.

But it didn\'t happen. The ax broke.

"Exactly how hard is that??"

[He\'s not like the Black Knight. Since it is close to being a perfect body, consider its performance to be much higher.]

"You should have said it before!"

I quickly took a distance and dropped the broken hatchet. Even if I switched to a rifle and fired, he could avoid it all.

-It\'s fast!?

[Of course. It is a weapon called a magical armed unit that ancient humans fought with. However, even with this, according to the data, its performance is less than 50% of capacity.]

"I can’t understand why it\'s so hard to beat this guy and save Louise. So? How do we do this?”

I dodged the magic fist coming from him and waited for Luxon\'s response.

[I\'ll take Louise out of her magic armor and just penetrate the core. The problem is that you have not been able to convince her. Louise herself will not attempt to leave her magical armed unit. Rather…]

He drew his scythe and I caught the attack from the magical armed unit that attacked us in the middle of our conversation.

The magic armed unit spoke to me.

[… I will never forgive you, I will never forgive you for cheating on me.] I could hear Louise\'s voice hating me. This seemed to be her own will.

-She’s aware!?

Kicking me away and out of reach, the magical armed unit spread its arms.

-Damn!

As I walked away, Arroganz\'s leg was pierced.

There was a tail that extended from the waist of the magic armor, and it was reeling.

"That tail is a threat."

[The magical armed unit itself is a threat. But still…]

I could hear two voices coming from that armed unit.

One was from Louise and the other was a voice that appears to be that of her deceased brother, Leon. [Aah, I can feel Leon next to me.]

[Onee-chan, let\'s take him down together. I can\'t forgive him for cheating on you.] [… Yeah, that\'s fine, Leon.]

As the magical armed unit closed the distance, I accelerated and fled.

Even when I tried to push them away, they slowly caught up to Arroganz\'s performance."I have nightmares about the time I fought that old Black Knight."

[This is no time for jokes. The resurrection of the magical armed unit was out of the question… What are you going to do, Master?]

The magical armed unit that was chasing Arroganz caused naked eyes to appear all over his body and released the magic from it.

The area around the magical armed unit filled with cold air, and several sharp ice needles floated in midair.

The eyes attacked Arroganz, but even if he avoided them, they would follow him to some extent."Missiles!"

[Intercepting]

As the lid of the container Arroganz was carrying was opened, the missiles loaded in it were fired, destroying all the ice.

Then the loaded drones were deployed.

The drones with Gatling cannons in spheres hovered around Arroganz and downed all their attacks.

Arroganz had live ammunition.

The magic armed unit was firing magic, and the sounds of explosions and magic pops echoed in the surroundings.

There were a lot of flashy fights."Well, let\'s see what we can do."

As we ran, I thought of a way to rescue Louise.

Marie watched as Louise was taken over by the magical armed unit and watched the battle from the Einhorn Bridge.

When Anjie saw the appearance of this magical armed unit, it seemed to remind her of the Black Knight.

"Why did that appear here?" What the hell is going on?

Livia also worried about Leon, who was fighting a magical armor."Will Leon be okay?"

"We have defeated the Black Knight, but we do not know the capabilities of the enemy."

-It cannot be!

Around Einhorn floated Jilk, Brad, Greg, and Chris, with their respective armed units.

Julian was waiting on the bridge, distrusting Loic, whom he brought with him, at least for a moment.

Marie asked Loic what was going on.

"Do they have such things in the Sacred Tree?" "N-No, I\'ve never heard of that."

Loic\'s tone towards Marie was quite impressive.

"In the first place, I\'ve never heard of such a thing." Not once in the history of the Republic has there been a flower on the Sacred Tree.

"Why would they want to sacrifice someone for something like that?"

"It was the decision of the heads of the six families." I think they were terrified that they would keep losing to Count Baltfault, and then surrender with the Holy Tree.

Julian had a subtle expression on his face."Is it because of Baltfault\'s presence?"

"No, sooner or later they would have offered it as a sacrifice." For the Republic, the Sacred Tree is an absolute existence. And furthermore, if they hear voices from the Sacred Tree, some of them will believe it.

Marie raised her head.

If Louise dies, Alberg will be the last boss! I do not want that! We\'ve come so far and everything we did doesn\'t make sense --- That\'s not…

Noelle?

Noelle, hugging the jar containing the little offspring, looked out.

The emblem on the back of Noelle\'s right hand glowed faintly. Julian watched the battle and was angered by his inability to do anything.

"I wish I could help, but wouldn\'t we be a hindrance if we got in there?" Julian and the others\' armed unit was a degraded copy of Arroganz.

They couldn\'t beat the opponent Arroganz was fighting with. Marie asked Julian for help.

—Julian, don\'t talk like that, help me! Even Arroganz can\'t beat him, right? Look, they all have better maneuvering skills than Leon, right? There are all kinds of things that you can do to cover the performance of the aircraft with your arms.

While Marie was asking her to help Leon, Anjie corrected her mistake.

-You\'re wrong.

-What do you mean?

"Leon is strong." The reason they are fighting now is because he wants to save Louise. If they could only handle that, then Leon too …

Noelle opened her mouth when she heard Anjie\'s story.

-Let me do it.

When Marie turned to look at Noelle, the little sapling also glowed faintly.

-Hey? Noelle, what are you ---?

"The only way to get Louise out of this is to convince her to get out of there.But as it is, you can\'t talk to her. But I… if I got close enough, my voice could reach her.”

"C-Can you do that !?” "I-I think so …”

Livia did not allow Noelle\'s uncertain words.

-No. I can\'t let you do something rash. However, it was Loic who came to the rescue.

-It\'s not impossible. I have heard that the priestess can speak to an crest bearer with her mind. I read in the documents that can be connected through the Sacred Tree. If they can touch each other directly, it should be possible to at least have a conversation.

Marie was quick to stop him.

This was because Noelle was the priestess of the little sapling, not of the Sacred Tree.

-Wait! The little sapling and the Sacred Tree are two different things! I don\'t want Noelle to be reckless.

Then, Livia\'s hair floated like a fluffy tide.

Lines of white light rose above his body, creating a pattern."Gyaaaa!" It\'s shining!

Marie screamed, and Anjie spoke up annoyed.

-Shut up. Livia, can you do it?

"Not yet, I\'m not in full control yet."

"I\'m going to help." Noelle, come with me.

-Hey? E-Ehmm …

When Noelle, unable to keep up with the situation, looked confused, Anjie took her hand.

"You\'re going to make your voice heard, right? You will have to convince her, right? Then Livia and I will help you.”

Reluctantly, Noelle took the hand Livia offered her.

Livia placed the sapling of the Sacred Tree in the center of where they were.

The little sapling\'s glow intensified as the three of them held hands and formed a circle.

"It will only be for a short time. If you\'re going to try to convince her, you\'d better hurry. -I understand you.”

When Noelle closed her eyes, there was a change in the scene outside. The magic armed unit had slowed down.

Marie saw the three wrapped in a pale light and could not understand what was happening.

Can not be. Don\'t tell me these chicks are using their own holy powers? They don\'t have tools or anything! How the hell did they do it !?

Marie, surprised by Livia\'s rapid growth, looked outside.

It only remains that I can convince her.

Noelle looked at the strange landscape.

Great. This way I can reach to speak to Louise.

The landscape around her was blurry, with only her consciousness jumping to a place that could be called the spirit world.

As she ran around to see where to go, she saw something burning brightly.

-Here. Don\'t walk away from us. The voice was Anjie\'s.

What surprised Noelle was that she could see Anjie\'s fire of hatred inside her. She was anger itself.

"E-Ehmm …”

Nearby, you could see Livia\'s emotions. It was sordid jealousy.

Looking at them in human form, Noelle was concerned about their appearance.

Livia took Noelle\'s hand.

"Let\'s do what we have to do for now."

It was horrible, but right now she would rather save Louise than worry about it."O-Okay."

She was terrified by the feelings they both had towards her, but at the same time, she could see that they both felt the same for Leon.

Noelle looked for Louise.

Louise, I swear I will bring you back and tell you everything I want to tell you!

Louise\'s spirit world.

Little Leon was hugging Louise from behind.

They were both naked due to being in the spirit world. However, the outline was blurry.

He only needed to understand why they were there. [Why don\'t you kill him, sister?]

When little Leon begged for that, Louise accepted it.

-It\'s okay. All your wishes will be granted by your sister. Then, the magic armor attacked Arroganz.

Arroganz had been cornered by the magical armor that showed its overwhelming efficiency. A space for both.

Louise was happy.

"Leon, we\'re going to be together from now on, right?"

[Yes. We\'ll be together forever. You will listen to what I ask from now on, right, sister?]

"Yes, I\'ll give you anything you want. Because I…”

So, the people who entered the two\'s space were Anjie, Livia… and Noelle. When Noelle found Louise, she screamed at her.

-I found you! Louise, what the hell are you doing !? "Noelle?!"

When Louise became hostile, the spirit world began to rage.

As Anjie spread her hands, a magic circle appeared and blocked the attacks that rained down on them.

"Noelle, hurry up and convince her!"

Livia had prepared a path into Louise\'s spirit world.

However, it appears that they forcibly interrupted, and were unable to stay long. "Hurry up as soon as you can, please." This power … is difficult to control. Seeing Livia in distress, Noelle began to convince Louise that she was in pain."Louise, stop it. Leon lied to get you out of there. He was only trying to help you.”

-Shut up. Shut up, shut up! It has stained my precious memories! For the memories that I really cherished --- I won\'t forgive him. I will never forgive him.

Louise was not in her right mind.

Her brother behind her smiled at her, hugging her.

[You can\'t forgive him, can you sister? So let\'s kill them. I hate them too. Kill them all, sister.]

-So it is. I\'ll get rid of that filthy woman who stole my Leon from me!

When Louise wished to eliminate Noelle, a blizzard occurred in the spirit world.

When the three of them were about to be expelled from the spirit world, the magical armed unit was in full force in the real world.

Louise\'s squeezed magic power was attacking Arroganz.

-Hahaha! Break it! The fake Leon has to completely disappear! She was going to kill Leon, who cared so much.

The sight of this frustrated Noelle.

"What really happened to you?" Where is your usual way of acting? You were so protective of Leon.

Louise\'s expression distorted and she drew her anger, her hatred deep in Noelle."What did you know about that when you stole my Leon?"

"You, your brother…

-I wanted him. I loved him! And yet my pretty Leon… chose you. Do you have any idea how frustrating it was for me? And yet, if you are going to deprive me even of this happiness that I finally got, I’ll…!! You!!

The magic armed unit increased its power.

The next thing that was known was that the battle outside was frozen in the surroundings. The leaves and branches of the Sacred Tree were frozen and a blizzard was blowing around it. A magical armor with two blades made of ice went to cut Arroganz. Arroganz tried to avoid it with both arms, but both were cut off.

-Lion!

Noelle screamed, and Louise laughed at the sight.

"I\'m going to take Leon from you this time. Then I\'ll take Leon from you and he\'ll be with me forever. Noelle looked at Louise.”

"You, really, with your brother …”

It was Leon, who was fighting in the real world, who said beyond that.

?"Do you think your real brother would choose to sacrifice you?" She heard Leon\'s voice and Louise stopped moving.

-… S-Shut up. Shut up fake!

?"What, don’t you understand? So you were really aware of it, but you pretended not to see it. I mean, isn\'t it? The Leon you and your family talk about would never choose to sacrifice his older sister."

Louise\'s feelings were agitated.

It is so. Leon would never sacrifice me. And yet I\'ve been so lonely She told herself, and attacked Arroganz again.

-Do not try to confuse me!

?“I\'m sure you\'re already confused. Try to test if that\'s the real Leon. If it\'s the real one, it will tell you everything you need to know." Louise stopped moving.

Speaking to Louise in a voice that sounded like she was worried about him was her brother, hugging her from behind.

[What\'s wrong with you, sister?]

Louise turned around and looked at Leon\'s face. The outline was blurry and not clearly visible."Leon … what do you think of Noelle?"

[What happened to you suddenly? That doesn\'t matter, right?]

As questions arose, one after another Louise became more and more suspicious. So he tried to answer.

"You don\'t remember Noelle? After all the time you were so close, you must have had a lot of fun together, right? L-Look, you two sneaked around and played, right?”

The words scared Noelle more than anything.

-Hey?

However, Anjie who saw that, closed Noelle\'s mouth."Shut your mouth … It could be interesting."

The confused Louise uneasily asked her brother,"D-you don\'t remember? You and Noelle were engaged, and you were very close…”

Her brother smiled.

[Yes, it is true. But, you are the one I love the most, sister.] Louise shook her head when she heard that line.

-You\'re wrong. Noelle was the one he loved the most. You said that since Noelle was your fiancée, she was the one you loved the most, and then I, your sister, was the second … W-Who are you? Why do you have Leon\'s face and voice?

Louise separated from her brother… from the impostor. Noelle grabbed Louise\'s hand.

"Louise!" Come here now!

However, the fake form slowly transformed into a disastrous demonic form.

[It was just a little more … well, it doesn\'t matter. I should only need to use the part of you I’ve obtained.]

The magical armed unit grabbed Louise with a big hand and pulled Noelle and the others out of the spirit world.

"Louise!"

Louise extended her hand to Noelle. But their hands never touched.

As the three of them were led outside, the magical armed unit took Louise.

[Now … I\'ll be able to resurrect again. If this power runs out, I\'ll just take the next one.]

The magical armed unit obtained the energy from Louise\'s crest, increasing its power even more.
