374 How to prepare and take responsibility
I wanted to praise Rumina-san for defeating a demon who looked exactly like the self-proclaimed demon lord, just like everyone else in the Valkyrie Holy Knights, but before that, there was a demon who looked exactly like the self-proclaimed demon lord floating inside the sanctuary barrier. I decided to purify the miasma emitted from the blood droplets.
The reason I set up a sanctuary barrier was because I realized that the miasma was gradually polluting the space. If this was inside the labyrinth, I might have noticed it too late.
Well, it's unknown how much of an impact it will have in a battle in an environment filled with miasma...
When I activated the purification wave, the demon's body moved a little, but then it flared up into a pale blue flame and disappeared into ash.
It was then that Rumina finally felt that her body had relaxed.
Even though it seemed like an overwhelming victory, it was like having a rematch with an opponent he had once defeated, and he may have mustered up his courage.
When I release the Sanctuary Barrier, all of the Valkyrie Holy Knights rush towards Rumina-san... but something a little unexpected happens from here.
"Well, even though it was an emergency, the security was so neglectful that I would like to ask you why you abandoned your duties without leaving anyone behind to report."
When Rumina-san, whose brilliance and pressure had increased due to the Pope's strengthening magic, asked that, all the members of the Valkyrie Holy Knights who tried to approach stopped on the spot as if they were blocked by an invisible wall.
Then Lucy-san tried to step forward with a determined look on her face. However, before that, Bearice-san begins to explain.
"Captain Rumina, no matter what the reason, it doesn't change the fact that you abandoned your duties. I'm sorry. Pope-sama and Luciel-sama are also sorry."
"""I am sorry"""
Following Bearice-san, the Valkyrie Holy Knights spoke their apologies in a fluid manner.
“Then let me ask you why you abandoned your duties.”
"Haha. After the captain and the others entered the invisible space, a large number of pterodactyls attacked Nerdal, and Nerdal was shaken. There, there was an announcement that Nerdal was being attacked, and they waited until the captain and the others returned. We decided that buying time was our top priority."
I don't think Nerdal would be shaken by a pterodactyl attack, so maybe that demon was leading the pterodactyls.
Considering that, the result was okay, but I'm glad that Mr. Orford responded to his announcement and joined in.
“Are you saying I should have prioritized it over protecting the Pope?”
Bearice was at a loss for words when asked by Rumina.
"...The strength of the Captain and Luciel-sama alone is higher than the strength of the Battle Maiden Holy Knights. So, I thought about what I would do if the two of you were in the same position."
It was an unexpected spark...but since I was aware of it, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. Rumina-san probably wasn't expecting the answer either, so he put his hand on her forehead, but her mouth loosened and she smiled.
"Ah~ Still, I wish I had left some notes. I couldn't see everyone, so I was uneasy and unbearable."
````Captain Lumina''''
I guess that's why Rumina is loved because she can show this kind of weakness.
And this time, all of the Valkyrie Holy Knights tried to hug Rumina-san, but Rumina-san stopped them with her hands and turned to them.
“Pope-sama, as you have heard, this abandonment of duty was a decision made by the members based on my lack of guidance and normal behavior.The entire responsibility lies with me, and I am willing to accept any punishment.”
Then, everyone in the Valkyrie Holy Knights began to desperately defend Rumina-san and claim that they were responsible, but it seems that the Pope had already decided what to do about this incident, and the Pope ordered that the Valkyries' Holy Knights be punished. I'll tell you.
"Abandoning your duties is not acceptable under any circumstances. Therefore, I removed the Valkyrie Holy Knights from guarding my concubine, and originally the Valkyrie Holy Knights should be disbanded."
“……”
I was surprised and tried to ask the Pope, but he stopped me by looking at me, as if he wasn't finished yet.
"However, this time, considering that there was a risk that Nerdal would fall due to the attack, and that the Valkyries Holy Knights stopped the attackers, the Valkyries Holy Knights gave Nerdal a new life to protect him as an opportunity to recover. Noja”
````Yes''''
"Also, I will have Captain Rumina fight on the front lines against the evil god."
"Ha!"
I'm sure everyone in the Battle Maiden Holy Knight Corps knew that I had decided that no one other than Rumina-san could fight the evil god, and that I had given them an order that the roles had been divided.
"Hmm. I have high hopes for everyone's work."
````Yes''''
Thus ended the Pope's judgment.
I think it's time to ask you something that I've been curious about for a while.
"It's a dragon that's been flying over Nerdal, but maybe it's Nadia?"
When I first saw it, I thought it was a monster, but its appearance is the size of a reincarnated dragon, and it is not hostile and flies around Nerdal as if on guard.
In that case, your options will be limited.
"I think so. Starting with the leader pterodactyl, he protected Nerdal by shooting down pterodactyls one after another with his breath."
Elizabeth spoke with shining eyes.
However, if that is true, will the magical power not be exhausted? I should have kept in touch more closely, like the reincarnated dragons had given me some secret techniques.
“Luciel, can’t you contact that person with the magic ball?”
"i will try"
I passed through the magic ball and tried to ask it using telepathy... but it didn't feel like it was reaching me, and there was no response.
"Maybe he can't telepathize in that state, or maybe he doesn't have the magic ball attached."
"In that case, let's have the concubine use telepathy. [Spirits, feed on the concubine's magical power, and connect the threads that exchange intentions. Magic call.]"
Then, perhaps due to the Pope's magic, a human-sized dragon slowly approached me and stopped.
After that, the Pope chimed in several times, announced something, finished his magic, turned to us, and announced his conversation with Nadia.
"That dragon was Nadia. The dragon transformation was still unstable, but when magic circles appeared in various places, the Dragon God seemed to have predicted Nerdal's attack, and that seems to have stabilized the dragon transformation."
I guess he thought of Lydia and used that as his strength.
"Wouldn't it return to human form when its magical power dries up?"
"Apparently, Nadia can draw out the magical power of the ancient dragons she has contracted with. Also, it seems that the reincarnated dragons are also sending magical power through divine protection. That's why it won't run out."
Does that mean I can use an unlimited amount of magical power?
"I see. Nadia is fighting against the evil god?"
"No, he doesn't have the speed or agility of the breath that attacks the evil god, and since he can't work together, he's going to protect Nerdal quietly."
I see. There's a possibility of being teleported, and I think the breath is powerful, but if I can avoid it, there's a chance we'll be in a predicament.
"I see. In that case, let's have Nadia protect Nerdal, and for now, let's teleport to the Principality of Brange, where Nerdal will be attacked."
"Hmm. I guess so."
I haven't heard from my friends who have been placed in magic circles in various places yet, so for now I'm going to meet up with my masters in the Duchy of Brange, where they're going to attack Nerdal.
"What about the pursuer's eyes?"
“I think it would be better to use it after teleporting to an important location rather than consuming magic power for mischief by chasing the light.”
"Understood"
Even if I try my best against the evil god, it may not be enough, so I want to at least take on the challenge with my best.
The Pope turned his body towards the Battle Maiden Holy Knights.
“The Battle Maiden Holy Knights will ask for Nerdal.”
````Yes''''
"Rumina, ask your concubine to lend you her strength."
“I will risk my life to complete the task.”
"Luciel, we entrust everyone's lives to you."
“I hereby pledge to do everything in my power to realize my dream of living peacefully in a peaceful world.”
“Damn, that’s what Luciel is all about.”
Everyone laughed at me, but this is my true opinion.
I'll risk everything so that I can laugh with everyone again.
"Then I'll teleport."
The Pope held my right hand, Rumina-san held my left hand, and I envisioned them teleporting to the place where we were fighting in the Principality of Brange.
Thank you for reading.
