Magic Gems Gourmet

Chris' cheeks unconsciously relaxed with the warmth coming from his back.

There were signs of the appearance of many monsters behind me, and I knew it was coming, but I didn't feel any dust.

"Don't even think about it.You were gonna do something to her, weren't you?Then I won't forgive you. "

The signs disappeared negligently.

It turns into mere magic, turning it into flesh and blood of absolute existence.

There is no particular difference in the number of named animals against Ain who grew up after the battle with Dragon Man Serra.

A hundred is a thousand, and even if it turns into a thousand, it doesn't change.

We still lacked the strength to fight God Killer.

Chris, take this.

Ain sheathed Ishtal to Chris.

For a moment, Chris opened his eyes to receive a dark black sword with a blade span longer than the usual Rapier.

I wonder if you lent me a full waist of yourself, and there are cracks in the space at the end of my vision, from which the great sword shows up.It was Durahan's great sword.

I think it's hard to use, but now it's...

Touching the gentleness of Ain, Chris warmed his heart and at the same time had a quiet look on his face.

She mouthed an apology without letting go of Visel, who had been inhaled and assimilated by a monster similar to Velgok, wheezing in pain in front of her.

"... I'm sorry."

Not if I was talking slowly, but I couldn't be happy to forget about Strom's tragedy.

Though he was on another mission, he was still a commander.And yet, Strom is in a state of destruction.

Chris apologized for this fact.

"Er...."

I quickly realized the reason for my apology, but Ain couldn't help but be confused.

Anyway, in addition to Marco's escort this morning before we broke up, we also kept the man-eater.

Therefore, it is not natural to deal with it.

Rather, if we can't deal with it, we can't do it to anybody else.

"I heard that the evacuation went well thanks to Chris's command.----Before I came here, it was from Marco. "

But...

"Don't think you couldn't do anything.If you've protected the people of the city, there's nothing more to it. "

It was a genuine word, no more or less.

You can make the town again.Ain knew too many times that he shouldn't say this word easily, and still believed that life was more important.

Also, Chris deserves to be honestly commended for his work.

A sudden raid - and there is no example of it when you tie Ishtalica's history book together - is what makes anyone tickle about standing around with no casualties at all against a disaster that would have lined up with a sea dragon.

"Either way, we'll talk later."

Ain buried the flying monsters again in just a moment.I don't know if Chris used the sword or did something else.

Immediately thereafter, Ain came in front of Chris and looked up at the changed Visel.

Ah... ahh... oh beforehand... Sitterzee...!

"Me too. I missed you, Visel."

Kuhaha! Man Ni Yan Walletemo Happy Shikneennaah!

Visel's body, moaning in pain, crawled upwards.

Go further above Ain and Chris, then raise one arm and suddenly lower your body.

Kutabareya!

Never move, but the eye-gazing Ain murmurs, "Why?"

I tried to use my charm to surrender, but it didn't work.

However, he holds the giant sword in one hand directly beside him and pays his fist just before it is crushed by Visel's fist.

Nhhhhhh!?

No difficulty, just showing off the sideburns once.

Looks like a gentle shake, and the damage done by the transcendent power does reach Visel's body.

Visel's body wobbled around, numbness appeared on his lower body surrounded by melting, and he fell to the sea under his eyes.

"Why did it apply to Serra's magic?"

The question-marked Ain still kept an eye on Visel and saw him standing up in the air, stretching out the lower part of the snake and coming back towards us again.

Looking at it, he reached behind him.

"--- Okay."

"Ah, um... okay, that's not it...?What the hell is this...? "

Ain was holding Chris's hand.It's also hotter than usual.

"No, I wanted you to stay by my side."

I thought you told me to step back.

Confused Chris repeatedly blinked.

"It doesn't make sense to be separated from the woman who came to protect you."

"Ah, Isn't Ein here to protect Strom!?"

"That's not a lie either. But I..."

Cheeky Nandayo...... Gagga!

Now you can either protect it with your back, or you can be held by Ain's arm and pressed against your chest.

The technique was more violent and lacking in elegance than usual.

Instead, she is conceiving masculinity and the strength she wants to entrust herself with.

"----if I think Chris is in danger,"

Ain caught him with a giant sword with a golden rigid arm standing directly beside him.Your body does not retreat. Rather, Visel was surprised by the shock.

"He wasn't standing or standing."

Chris's chest struck an early bell as he looked down and smiled.

What a stupid thing to do at a time like this.However, the fact that he is held in his chest remains unchanged and cannot be resisted in the first place.It was the same with strength and feeling.

"Then I will return this sword!Give me your sword! "

At least Chris can do another job without having to fight the transformed Visel.

Therefore, I am dissatisfied with being kept.Because I am also a knight.

However, he talks too much about the sword in confusion.

"Actually, I'm the only one who can use this sword."

He said, with a smile on his face and Ain.

"The Ishtal is just in case."

By the way!

"I'm sorry, but I'm not giving up either."

Ain waves his sword and plays Visel once more.

The body fluids danced from the deeply cut fist of Visel, and the painfully moaning Visel shook the other fist.

Sigh ─ ─ Ain took a big breath and put his strength to his feet, holding Chris even harder in his chest and rushing forward.

Nah ─ ─ disease ─

"Great, where did you get that kind of power?"

Visel doesn't answer ruthless questions.No, I didn't have the guts to answer.

Before swinging his fist down, he fell into his pocket and was dominated by fear.

"Suck it out."

A giant black sword stuck in the belly of a giant body.

When the blade pierced too small for the size of the body, the intense pain that had never been experienced ran over Visel's body.

Your body is losing its strength.

My eyes are dim and I feel like I've been sleepy or not.

This is dangerous.

Visel twisted his body and pulled out the sword, realizing that if he stayed like this for a few seconds, he would definitely die.

(Not as powerful as Verguk)

Ain understood in a flash of defense, secretly stroked his chest down.

And I looked at Chris and confirmed that he was not injured.

Ain-sama!

Chris is familiar with this gap.

"I'll do what I can!I know there's a lot of power shortage... and it's not selfish to have to fight next door!So please... for the sake of Strom... "

Oh, no.

"... hah!? Hmm, why!?"

Maybe it was the last moment I knew what it meant since I met Ain.

Whatever you think, you don't have to fight with yourself.

A clever Ain can't possibly understand this.

(It's safest next to me... I don't mean anything.)

Even if it's true, I don't talk about it.

It is not a hobby to pronounce a boastful word.

Now, Ain's heart is a different emotion.

----Nobody else.I want to be by my side.

Even if it meant the same once the relative threats had been addressed, I was not willing to do so.

The thoughts are growing because the appeal didn't work just now.

In case something unexpected happens....

Speaking of which, it's nothing more than an unexpected situation, but if you stay by your side, you can safeguard everything at your own risk.

It was such an Ain, but there was also a conflict.

Chris was also thinking, but when we compare Chris' return to command of the town's forces here with his failure to do so, the former is obviously better.

I thought it selfish and stupid not to let Chris go.

But I couldn't let go.

I couldn't think of keeping her away from me.

I was frustrated by that conflict...

Ghhhhhhhhhhhhh!?

Visel was struck by a new attack by a dark comet that descended from the top of the tower.

"Hmm. After all, it's probably the half-powered one.The skill of battle is equal to children's play. "

Marco's sword cut Visel deep with a flash of sword, from the neck to the vertical and near the body of the lower body of the snake.

Marco, how's the tower?

"It doesn't taste good. Overall, the tower itself caused a lot of damage, but the regeneration (,,,,,,,,,,) is not cut (,,,,,,,,,) because it is not cut (,,,,,,,,). Perhaps my power is not enough.For that reason, I came to consult with you - but - "

Marco, who had come down and turned his back early, turned around and saw Ain and Chris.

Chris, who seemed dissatisfied, blushed his cheeks with shame and instantly buried his face in Ain's chest, trembling little by little.

"I see. I understand."

Then, Marco clapped his hands as he went to the finish line.

"I'm going back to town.There will still be monsters, and the man-eater will be easier to move with me.I'll take care of everything. "

"... I'm sorry, I think I'm staying."

"What does this say?You may want to recall the great achievements to this day.You can't go in there with this much selfishness.This is no longer a particularly critical situation. "

Marco realizes that he doesn't talk much, and now turns his back to Ain and looks down under the tower.

"This loyalty, the great body whose name echoes through the end of the everlasting life, for happiness."

Finally, he drove his tuxedo into the tide, and he jumped off.

"Marco, you've gone!?Besides, they saw me! "

"Nooo... I wasn't planning to meet you in this flow... but it looks like it was an emergency..."

"This is an emergency!?"

Chris was in a hurry and noticed something.

When I realized that Ain was moving a few steps ahead, the original location had collapsed with Visel's rigid arm.

"Ah, Ein wanted to help Strom, so if you're doing this to me!"

I'm here to protect Chris.

Of course, I'll protect Stroms.

But at first I thought Chris was in danger, so I started moving.

If I had known that the anomalies that had occurred in Strom since before were unusual, I would have sorted out my emotions in a different way...

Oneesan said so.The people who come to pick me up like the people who are waiting. "

I remember the words of Rajid's daughter, Miu.

I had a vivid recollection of what they were talking about left behind in the submarine cave.

Crazy Nilane!

Visel waves his arms.

The giant's proud stiff arm was a threat just by swinging it around, but Ain was somehow holding him back and asking him how he was doing.

Ain also had plenty of room to think about Chris.

"Don't be ridiculous!Ein must protect Strom more than I do!? "

Ain was badly irritated by the royal word.

Even though Chris has been told to say the words, he has never said clear words (,,,,,).

Gah!

Giggle! giggle!

The voices of the monsters spreading into the sky stung my ears.

I'm worried about the trouble.

----I 'll try to protect it.

Words come to mind in Ain.

----But I want to protect more people I like.

I didn't mean to say it in a place like this.I was going to calm down all the disturbances, prepare a good place, and tell them sincerely.

However, the words are likely to leak from the edge of my mouth.

It was pathetic and just before I was too young to give up.

So, Mr. Ain...

Chris is never trying to hunt down Ain.

I thought about what I had to do to become her, and I didn't feel sorry for the people of Ishtalica just because I was protected.

That's why I have to move, just like Marco.

"I will fight too."

If you can't fight here, in town.Or out of town.

But Ain shook his neck sideways.

I'm here to pick you up.

In my heart, the words Miu had spoken were repeated many times.

"That's why I can't hear Chris today."

"... why did you come to pick me up?Marco is here. There's also a man-eater.So the town might be fine. "

But with you.

"I can't allow myself to be protected by the strongest person in the world."

Chris said with a bitter smile on his head.

For a moment, Ain's arm began to loosen.

"Forgive me, never."

But he quickly regained his strength and declared in a strong tone.

A monster flying in the sky is approaching his name.

And even Visel was frustrated to learn that Ain was asking how he was doing, and raised his anger and waved a fierce rage.

Everything didn't work out.

"If I can protect everything, I can't complain!To pick up whoever I like... to protect!I won't be forgiven! "

The truncated Ain put his feet on the stiff arm of the swinging Visel and ran up faster than the swinging down, reaching his shoulders.

Swinging a giant sword made it easier for Visel's arm to pass from there.

――――

A voiceless scream pierces both ears.

Ain jumped from the rough, leaning shoulders of Visel, and shone a blinding sword at the monster spreading through the sky.

One, and the other, and the monsters that returned to magic, were quickly absorbed by Ain.

Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Gasping in pain, Visel did not care about the remaining monsters in the sky, and swinging his remaining stiff arms, aiming for Ain.

Earlier scaffolding was damaged and completely collapsed.

Ain dropped his head down, holding Chris in his chest.

"... eh?"

Chris looked at Ain's face, which had been neat until now.

"Um, eh? What did Ein-sama... say?"

"I..."

"Yeah! I can hear you! I remember it, so it's fine!"

Flipping his words lightly, Chris saw the debris dancing in the sky.Ain landed there and lowered his hips.

She was in the so-called princess's hug position and looked up, and there was Ain's face right there.

"May I ask you something?"

When asked, or not, Visel's tail was directly beside them.

But they refuse. When I realized that the stiff arm that should have been rejected was regenerating, Ain frowned for a moment.

Ah.

When I heard Ain's reply, Chris said,When I say it loudly, Visel's rigid arm approaches here again.

Now Ain kicks the rubble, and with that momentum, he rides on a rigid arm and jumps to the tower.

"--- How do you like it?"

When asked, Ain put a great sword on the surface of the tower and mounted it on the scaffold.

That's not true...

Gaki! How's it going?

Ain kicks a giant sword and flies up.

The mighty sword scattered quickly away from him.

Visel saw it and climbed up to grab Ain, stretching his rigid arms right and left like he was crawling through the wall.

"I want you to stay next to me forever!"

After this period, I was about to mock myself.

Are you still stopping me from saying in my heart that I shouldn't be here, or is it because of another reason?

The flying Ain sometimes slashes, sharpens, and drops debris on the surface of the tower.

Eventually, he threw a giant sword between Visel's eyebrows and threw his body into the sea by piercing it.

"Nh... I'm glad it hasn't been like that before!"

Only then did the flying Ain create the roots of the trees at the top of the tower and land them on the scaffold.

Targeting it, the monsters approached with a loud voice.

"No! It's not the same as before!"

"What's different! I have always been by Ein's side, and that will never change!"

"That's not true! It's my fault I spent so much time making you think the same!"

The monster approaches, and Ain cuts down with a giant sword.

Moreover, Chris took off Ain's chest when he realized that he was strong enough to hold himself, but that he was about to escape from his arm.

Leaving his back on his back, he uses Ishtal to cut down the imminent monster.

I felt uncomfortable with the size of the unfamiliar sword, but I didn't care.

"Not as a knight! I want you to be by my side as one woman!"

Clear reasons for favor and sincerity made Chris's cheeks more steamy.

"I love Chris!As a woman, I want you to stay with me forever! "

In an instant, it dyes more bright red, looks around, and breathes shortly twice or three times to open your mouth.

"Nhhhhhh, are you going to say it here!?We're fighting!?Look! There are so many enemies!? "

Together they move, swinging their swords.

Alternating enemies as they turn around on the roots of the tree with their backs.

"I didn't mean it either!"

It's pathetic, or I think I'm going to cry like an idiot.

I'll keep you waiting. What's wrong with this confession?

But Chris, who left her back, was different.

She doesn't seem to be dissatisfied with her heartbeat, which she can't hide, and with the confession here.

The cheeks were secretly loose, hoping this wasn't a dream.

--- Sounds like us (,,,,,,,,,,,).

Beginning with the sea dragon disturbances, he saved his life for Ain many times.Prior to his demonization, he performed a ritual of devoting magic stones and was prepared to die for Ain in order to revive Archer through his chest.

That's why.

I had no other feelings of discomfort than my own when I confessed in a place where I saved each other's lives.

On the contrary, it is preferable.

Now is preferable to theoretically stating your feelings.

----Ah, when I thought about it, it seemed like I was worse...

When I thought about it, I was fighting when I told Ain my chest.

Unlike now, the opponent was Ain, but in the middle of the day, he was forced to talk about his thoughts and left with a stunned Ain.

"... eheheheheh"

Without knowing Ain's remorse, Chris smiled unexpectedly.

"Later, I was feeling high on the battlefield!I don't know what's going to happen to me!? "

"You can't be kidding me!"

"No! What are you reopening?"

"Gu...."

I feel even more sorry for Ain.

"Well... the view isn't bad...!"

"─ ─ Huh?"

"Eh, that's it! The view isn't so bad!... if only by the sea! "

Seeing the town is catastrophic, so it's only natural.

On the contrary, if you look at the sea, it is certainly a spectacular view.

... I'll keep the scenery in mind, but the scenery also suddenly changes shape.

"Well, what should we do!?I couldn't see the ocean because of all the monsters!? "

"... haha. Oh, I know."

Ain's body was filled with dark light, and as he clasped his hands, the waves dyed in that color ran through the sky.

The monster that was flying far away also disappeared in an instant.

Then the blue sky spread over the sea that they saw.

"I'm sorry, I did what I could."

Hearing a slightly frustrated voice, Chris reached behind him in the absence of the monster.

I lay my hands on Ain, who had kept her back.

"Why were you depressed?"

"That's..."

"Ah, you probably don't regret being in a place like this while telling yourself, do you?"

The sound of something crawling from under the tower approaches.

Big Nanica, good momentum.

"I've been thinking. He said," Make sure you have a nice place to talk. "

"... it's okay, I'm so happy right now."

I thought so from the bottom of my heart, not caring.

I've been waiting till today.

It would be nice to make a confession in a place like Ain says.

But when I thought I'd have an affection with Ain, I even thought I was more passionate like this than being told in a place like this.

Even if no one else agreed, Chris had come to think this was good.

I can assure you.

I can't think of any happier confessions.

"I promise."

Ah, Ain turned around.

When she lifted Chris's body, she said in her ear.

"I'll make Chris happy."

Ain's giant sword cut down the monster that was approaching Chris.The large individual inside was also penetrated by the thrown giant sword.

"Fufu, you didn't promise me this wasn't the way it would look?"

As mean as you say.

Chris shook his hand at the root of the tree and sandwiched Ain's cheeks with both hands.

"Whatever it takes, I promised."

"Well... then, isn't it different to say instead?"

It's called the silk of words, but it's not enough to say anything.

I just wanted to be sweet.

"----if it's a substitute."

Chris's lips were stretched out in front of him.

The smelly beauty highlights the cuteness of the sweet attitude.

Ain looked at it and lay his lips over him without saying anything.

Don't hesitate to do that.

It's a little rough.

While being swallowed, Chris's hands were turned around Ain's back.

I wonder how long I've been like this.

Soon after Chris, who had forgotten to breathe, was released, he repeatedly breathed roughly and asked Nitang for help, and lay his neck down and looked at Ain.

Promise, so?

"--ahh"

Chris smiled happily when she saw the nodded Ain.

She has noticed something without notice.

"By the way, did you plan to do the same for me?"

"If Chris were good, I would have done it."

"Hmm... how about we do that again?"

I've never fallen in love before.

Ain couldn't find anything more beautiful than the night he called the Moon Goddess.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

The town was calm to my heart's content.

Everything was influenced by the concentration of power in the Crystal Tower, and the knights and adventurers who were fighting in the town now remained in sight and alert to the battle in the Tower.

"She's grown up too."

Majorica said as she watched the injured man in the garden in Ain's mansion.

Have you grown up?

Marco answered the word.

"It's Chris. He used to be a shy kid walking behind Celeste, but today's command is more than Celeste ever had.Didn't you find Marco unreliable? "

"Of course, I did. In order to stand beside Ain-san, I think he is a wonderful person who has acquired strength as a human being."

"Isn't that right? That's why I want His Highness to kiss me right away."

I thought, "Well, that would be fine."

"... oh?"

"I've told you before, those two will be fine."

The word of certainty was stronger than ever, and Marco's side looked up at the tower rising far away.

"Licking the battlefield is rewarding, but there is nothing to lick, and this is not an imminent crisis."

"Yes, yes? Did I say something?"

"No, it's not a big deal.----I just wondered if it would have been better for those two to be extraordinary today. "

"Extraordinary... good...?"

Marco took a few steps forward, putting aside the unsuccessful Majorica.

Visel walks up the crystal tower in sight, still at a calm pace.

"Until today, I must have kept Ain away and checked how long it would take to carry his legs."

Speak of repeated raids.

"I made a mistake, you..."

Ishtalica, and the power of Ain.

Anticipating the end of Visel's path up the crystal tower, Marco made a square frame with his fingers, and the tower appeared in it.

"I know you wanted rare magic stones to boost your power, but unfortunately, you're not the right person to turn them over to."

The end came suddenly.

There was a crack in the tower from top to bottom.

The crawling Visel reaches the roots of the trees that grow on top, but it appears to be shaking his body weakly in proportion to the cracks in the tower.

Eventually...

"If you're still alive, you have to get information."

The tower broke in half from the center and Visel's body broke in two at the same time.They began to emit a dazzling golden light, and when it subsided, everything was gone.

---And Marco did.

Ain jumped down from the sky and Chris appeared on his chest.

Then, slightly further away, Marco turned to the place where the tower was located from the garden, watching Visel fall back into human form as well.
