Even Though I was the Real Saint, I was Exiled—Which Means my Country is Over (WN) - 153 144 · What should be protected?

“Let’s ask you, the── prince.” What is the most important thing to you? ”

The most important thing──.

Why are you asking me that now?

But if there is a preposition that he is a prince, the answer is decided.

“Lynchgiham──, and the people who dwell there.” I must do everything in my power to help him and her live happily ever after. ”

“Hmph, that’s a smart answer.” And at the same time, it can be said to be smart. ”

Douglas’s onslaught increased in intensity.

“Well then, I’ll ask you as one man.” Who is the most important person to you? ”

“That’s not true…”

The answer to this is also settled from the beginning.

“It’s Eleanor. No matter what happens to Eleanor from now on,── I’ll protect her.” That’s what I decided. ”

Protect? Gahaha! Don’t make me laugh!

and Douglas laughed weirdly, and went on like this.

“Without the protection of the goddess, you wouldn’t even be able to defeat the advanced demon race?” You say you will protect Elaine, but the truth is the opposite. You are protected by Elijah. ”

“Sure… it could be.”

I am── weak now. [M]

Without Elijah, the first SS adventurer, Albert, would not have been able to solve all of the senior demonic fuss in the Spirit Forest,── and even the Demon King in Berkaim.

Therefore, I admit my weakness. [M]

If you don’t, you’ll be dishonest with her, and you won’t be ready to move on.

“That’s why… I need to be strong even without Elaine.” To do that, I keep looking forward. ”

Hmmm. That’s why you’ve been running simulations with the Second Prince in such a hurry lately.

That’s right!

Saying that, I played Douglas’ sword.

But Douglas doesn’t show the gap.

On the other hand, there were some sections where I was deliberately letting myself swim.

Am I such a weak person to you?

“No, you’re not weak.” Strong, but── fragile. ”

Lightly pay the sword to the side in a space where Douglas has nothing.

Then a── gust of wind struck me.

As a result, your posture collapses for a moment. In the blink of an eye, Douglas closed the distance and slammed a wooden sword on my shoulder.

“……!”

You’re about to make a voice sound in pain. My shoulder bone may be broken now.

But you mustn’t show weakness in battle.

That’s why I suddenly endured it at the edge of my voice.

“One last question. If── Lynchgiham and Eliane were to be put on the balance, which would your will be inclined to?”

“… it’s the question I don’t understand the most.”

“If you abandon Lynchgham, you will save Elijahn,──── or if you abandon Elijahn, you will save Lynchgham.”

“Douglas says angrily in his voice.

──Lynchgiham and Eliane.

Lynchgham is the world to me. It’s impossible to abandon them.

Eliane, on the other hand, was the one I wanted to protect for the rest of my life. It’s── impossible to abandon her.

When I was knocked down by such an irrational choice, I was stuck in words.

It would have been less than a second.

But Douglas didn’t seem to like it──.

That’s why I said brittle!

Douglas kicks me in the front.

I caught it with my wooden sword,── but that didn’t kill the momentum. The wooden sword is broken.

Guah!

Douglas’s kick hit me straight in the stomach.

With a bitter voice, I fell on the ground.

“Are you saying kicking is against the rules?”

When I put my hand on the ground and raised my face, Douglas pushed the tip of the wooden sword against my throat.

My defeat.

I’m no match for Douglas now.

But ──this was strange for── me, but I couldn’t admit the two letters of the defeat.

“I-It’s not like that…”

“Do you still want to look like that? You still think you can beat me?”

Douglas grabs my jaw with the tip of his sword.

His provocative attitude made me feel blood on my head.

──”Let’s be clear in this case, your viable readiness will result in the loss of both!” Then you’re pathetic, Elijah! the most important thing….. ”

Niari and Douglas lifted the corner of their mouth and continued.

“Shall I give you my Eliane?” Hmm, you’ll make her happier. ”

When ──I heard that, something broke in me. [M]

I── won’t give you Elaine!

It feels like your head is getting messy.

From the inside of my body, an unknown force gushed in.

I grab Douglas’s wooden sword and move to force it.

“With your weak power, what── are you doing to me!?”

The color of Douglas’s eyes changes.

He can put his strength in his arms.

But I took the wooden sword away from Douglas without making any effort to do so.

“Can’t you get lost…?”

Holding the wooden sword, I stand up wobbly.

“I can’t help it!” Lynchgi ham and Elijah are important to me! There’s no way you can choose between the two! ”

The screams were as if they hadn’t been emitted by themselves.

The moment I stood my wooden sword in the upper section and tried to swing── it down in anger. I felt lightheaded and fell to the ground again.

“W-what was that? What’s the power now…”

Douglas was stunned when he saw it in his eyes.

But while I’m doing this, my head is being eroded by the darkness.

Because of that, I couldn’t think properly.

Stay true to your desires.

I heard a voice.

… what’s with this voice?

An evil voice. Just hearing this makes me feel chest irritated.

“Douglas… it’s not settled yet…”

I tried to get up, but I couldn’t get my strength into my body.

“Hmm… did you cum a little too much?” If I find out about this, I might be sentenced to death. Gahaha! ”

After I heard Douglas’s delightful high laughter, my consciousness fell into the darkness.
