“- Oh. I’m Lloyd. Apparently, the Lord is the man we’ve been looking for.”

“It is. It’s an honor.”

Distract your gaze from Logus, who was already on the verge of retiring, and Lloyd turns his gaze to Ed.

“Hmmm… very pretty outfit. If you look like a butler, you also look like a civilian. – It doesn’t look good on the battlefield.”

Fasten the button on the shirt made of a soft white cloth to the top and wear black suit pants underneath.

It’s a calm outfit that suits the old man well, but it’s also natural to float on the battlefield.

“It’s an honor – you look like an actor, too, don’t you? Is the role…… still a villain?

Ed smiles like a good person.

But Lloyd couldn’t help liking those eyes.

“What good and evil, vague things that vary by position. Poor quality than a person drowned in sex.”

“Oh, that sounds like a surprisingly intelligent word. I don’t hate that either.”

“- That’s more than anything. By the way, won’t you leave there? Can’t you just stab him?”

I got into trouble. Lloyd shows a little impatience inside.

Ed’s mild start to his blow left Lloyd with a big surprise.

“The script must be protected. That’s what I said – Lord Logus, please step back. I’m here.”

“Oh, oh… sorry. Thank you, Lord Ed!

Though he gets a remorseful look, Logus honestly retreats on horseback with the soldier.

The circumstances surrounding the war were also such that Lloyd took a sigh of relief at Ishtarika’s overwhelming predominance.

If so, the problem is an example temper, but we have to deal with Ed in front of us first…

“I’m not going to hang out with a three-sentence play. I’m sorry, but I didn’t mean to be on that stage.”

“You’re making some mistake. You are a people of Ishtarika. – Then the same thing happened when I stood on stage from birth. Isn’t that right?

“Ha. I don’t think the beast has the wisdom to play something – ugh!?

Something passed next to Lloyd’s cheek, the moment he stirred it up.

Sometimes she was daunted on the battlefield, and Lloyd could avoid her face to the side in that moment, but a piece of skin would be mutilated.

“How does it feel to have a gap poked by a beast?

“… not surprisingly bad. Around the containment doesn’t work, I guess it’s still a beast…… hey!

I can’t grab a red fox named Ed.

By analogy, Lloyd feels a lack of grasp like Warren.

Mistakes against spear opponents. Lloyd took a step to avoid being left to their liking.

“That’s a good step. Sharp as a beast.”

“-… oh, isn’t it? I tried to imitate you, but I’m glad you complimented me.”

“Ha ha… Then I can’t give you the pass score yet.”

Release a small wave of blow to Ed.

Even so, if Lloyd lets go, that doesn’t make the power stupid, but Ed judges the sword like he breathes.

“I am – I have been competing with Lord Logus many times for a long time. From that experience, you are an incomparable knight to Lord Logus.”

“Hmm… I wouldn’t be so happy to beat him!

“Well, don’t say that. I’m praising you…… hey?

For Lloyd, I haven’t had this experience in a long time.

One attack at a time can be accommodating (…), and you can just keep watching without attacking the gap.

Nothing but humiliation, but a battle that makes you feel different in power.

“… I don’t really want to think about it”

“Yes? What is it?

Lloyd, once distanced, speaks to Ed.

“You are a troublesome man. I don’t want to think there are many men like you… that’s all.”

“Ah! Then don’t worry. I still have a few of my own kind, because it’s just dust (…) that I don’t have much use for. If I told you, you’d have better talent.”

“… Hmm?

“Wouldn’t you believe me, even if I didn’t become such a suspicious ghost? – Then let’s put it differently. Of all the red foxes, I am the warrior who excelled in combat.”

Lloyd was out of his mind. It’s true that Ed is strong, but no way, because I honestly didn’t expect him to give me information like this.

“What is it, I am a man who was also in the position of Commander-in-Chief in the Black Knight (…). A red fox that was stronger than me… because it doesn’t exist”

“Black Knight……? Oh, you mean the Knights in the former demon kingdom.”

It’s about Marco that I remember.

Ein told me, mouth his position.

“I see. So there were only two warriors stronger than you… you know what I mean?”

The moment I whine about this, Ed stops his body from moving in a pitch.

When the tip of the spear went up and down in an agitated manner, it was polished by the making laughter put on his face.

– Who the hell are you talking about?

With a smile on my face, I giggled…… I look at Lloyd with reptile eyes.

“I’ve never had one, but Dear Ein, it’s about a man who once had His Royal Highness the King. His name was Marco…… I heard he was Deputy Commander of the Black Knight”

The signs of his release were awesome.

Even Lloyd gave up the battle from the beginning… because it made me feel so unknown.

– Then Ed stared at Lloyd with his hateful eyes when he heard the words.

“Um – that armored bastard, the neckless bastard… this, above me…?

Seems scattered, but Lloyd understands that to refer to Marco.

“Ah, ah. Anyway, he is the deputy commander… which means that for you who are not the commander, those two are stronger.”

……

Ed opens and closes his mouth in such a way that he doesn’t know what he’s trying to say.

“Easy. Easy. Easy. Easy. Easy. Easy. Easy. Easy.”

Go on, suddenly Ed snaps his left thumb.

I never included my nail tip in my mouth, but my thumb directly in my mouth to get my teeth up.

“I’m Ed…… My mother’s favorite, the best warrior……!

Chewing your fingertips over and over again, nature and blood seep out.

Supposedly, the corresponding pain would run, but Ed snapped his finger without worrying.

“Was it also due to something…?

Lloyd crushes strangely.

I should have settled down until earlier, Ed – now he looked desperate to calm the unstable spirit.

“- Oh, that’s easy.”

Second, Ed suddenly showed some calm.

Ed, who looks convinced of something, disappears in an instant, and at the next moment he appears diagonally behind Lloyd.

“Yikes…”

Noticing Ed’s appearance, Lloyd turns his attention to the spear’s behavior and is alert, but the attack Ed unleashes is not speared…

“Hee-hah…!

Just kicking. But Ed’s kick, which momentously devoured Lloyd’s flank, rocks Lloyd’s gut hard.

“Ugh, hey… -“

Encouraged by intense vomiting, Lloyd flushes his puke out of his mouth.

“You just have to do this, right? This way, we can wash away the unpleasant feelings together.”

Ed continues and adds a kick to Lloyd, who suppresses his flank.

I went on and on and on and on and on.

… Then, no matter how tough Lloyd was, he was caught kneeling by the pain of running all over his body.

“What I’m playing right now is loyal to my mother… a strong son. It’s only an insult to say something like that to me earlier. Do you mind? Words to performers also require some care, unlike everyday life. – Oh, even when it comes to caring, it’s too purposeful… it’s awkward to describe, but I mean don’t be like a so-called radish actor…. Are you listening?

“Gee… you’re… you’re probably rapping when you do that.”

Speaking well, Ed starts and ends his nose whispering.

I nodded contentedly when I saw Lloyd seemed to suffer.

“You mean people. It’s something that makes you rap when it comes to what you like. Occasionally, some hide it as a disgrace to talk about it, but rather a shameful thought in itself…… don’t you think?

As Ed took the spear over his shoulder, he asked Lloyd.

“- Then you don’t deserve it. If it’s what people think, you don’t matter.”

“Well, what about that? – I don’t hear these words these days, but I used to call them that.”

Sticking the spear to the ground, Ed opens his mouth with his hands spread like wings.

“Demon Man (…). A being that people can’t beat…… among them, I used to call a being that looks like a person. Because we’re like people, too.”

To his first ear words, Lloyd laughs at Ed with his nose.

“You mean like a demon. It’s just the right way to call you beasts.”

“… Really, you are for a good villain. He was a very good actor.”

Keep slapping your mouth down. That was Lloyd’s impression of Ed.

Sighing like a scream, he sets a spear against Lloyd.

That’s the last of it. Ed holds these feelings in his heart.

– Then it was then.

“On stage, in the middle, excuse me, please.”

With a faint voice, a man in a robe came by Ed’s side.

Lloyd feels something creepy in his unique position, bending his hips at a deep angle but not holding the wand in his hand.

“Huh – what?

“Laifo, n, you look tired (…),”

“Pork…… no, Master Rayphone said you are tired?

“Yes, sir.”

If you cough up and delude yourself into making an unnecessary statement, you answer the robe man in a worried manner.

“It’s a promise to your mother. Besides, if that happens, there’s a problem with the script as well – yeah, I get it. It’s tidal time.”

When Ed is convinced by himself, he delivers the spear the way he gave up.

Ed, who gave him the spear, proceeds at a distance from Lloyd as he rides the horse that the man in the robe brought in.

“Unfortunately, we have been able to take precedence over you. So let’s put the curtain down for today.”

“Ma, wait! What exactly is your purpose?”

Lloyd asks about the Red Fox’s purpose, but Ed uttered another word without answering it.

“Oh, and just one piece of advice. No matter how much on the stage, let’s not talk about that iron chip in the future. Anyway, there’s nothing more to do with it.”

Iron scraps…… Ed tells Lloyd not to talk about Marco.

Then he looked in the direction of Logus, who continues his retreat through Birdland.

“Lord Logus seems to have earned enough distance already. … Now I have to take Master Rayphone back to Heim too”

“So – tell me to wait… nooo!

Lloyd forcibly wakes up his body.

Then, where Ed kicked me, he emits a strong pain.

Maybe my bones are broken. When I realized that, I also realized that my grip weakened.

“I have done my job, and you will have had enough. These missed things are one spice on the stage. If you’re going to come after you’re a little stronger, you can expect more excitement.”

Hehe. Ed, who ran his horse laughing, headed for the carriage that Rayphone was on.

“Lo… Dear Lloyd! Are you all right……!?

“Ah, ah. Looks like he managed to survive.”

When Ed leaves, a few Kingsguard knights approach Lloyd.

“What happened to the war…?

“- Those unsure creatures suddenly stopped moving. So I was wondering if we would have won without too much damage.”

“Stopped moving…? What the hell is going on?

Unconvinced Lloyd asks, another Kingsguard knight answers.

“That’s right. It stopped leaking from the carriage. Then, for some reason, those creatures slowed down their movements… and eventually stopped moving, so it felt like they attacked them with a crossbow gun.”

“But it’s crazy, isn’t it? Only that carriage was so sturdy that I didn’t even freak out.”

Logus. And while I was fighting Ed, many strange things happened… When Lloyd is tired and the item drops, momentum rises well after a few seconds.

“I don’t know. But if they left for Heim, this is our victory, isn’t it?

“Ha!”

“I thought you were right!

“There are sacrifices… it’s a result of what can be called a great victory”

Lloyd cared for the Kingsguard knights reply.

The shock I got from my encounter with Ed was not only physical but also mental.

But now we shall rejoice in this moment that we have survived and won.

“- Sort of.”

“So, are you okay, Master Lloyd!

One of the Kingsguard knights supported the disfigured Lloyd.

“Oh…… sorry. Looks a little too worn out.”

“Already, Birdland has our knights on their way. Let’s head over a little slowly.”
