A knight and a maid were watching us.
"Rhone-sama, another fairy. And three bears..." ()
Did you just say three bears?
There were two of them, Kumayuru and Kumakyu.
Maybe you have bad eyesight?
I would like to ask a few questions, but it was not the right time right.
"Rhone..." (Riyan)
The person on the knight's back called Rhone's name in a small voice.
"...Ri, Riyan" (Rhone)
Rhone burst into tears and flew towards the three people who had come out of the mansion.
The one carried on the knight's back was Riyan, who was sleeping underground.
"Riyan, you're awake!" (Rhone)
Rhone hugged Riyan's face.
"Ye-s" (Riyan)
Answer in a low voice.
"It's already too late to wake up." (Rhone)
"Sor-ry" (Riyan)
"You're so skinny." (Rhone)
Rhone was crying and hugging Riyan's face.
If he left that pedestal, the mana flowing to Riyan would stop and he would suffer.
It didn't seem like that. Was there a valid range?
Riyan smiled at Rhone and then turned to Beilung.
"Beilung..." (Riyan)
Beilung stopped moving and looked at Riyan with blank eyes.
"Is that Beilung-sama?" (Knight)
"Really……?" (Maid)
When Riyan calls his name, the knight and maid were surprised to see Beilung.
Beilung's appearance had completely changed.
He didn't have the atmosphere he had at the beginning.
"Where are you taking that man?" (Beilung)
Beilung asked the knights with blank eyes.
"Beilung-sama, please listen to me. The lock on that forbidden door was broken and the door was open. So, when I went to the basement to check, I found the captain dead and Riyan-san sleeping." (Knight)
The knight explained to Beilung.
The person who killed the captain is the one you're talking to.
"Where are we taking him..." (Knight)
As if the knight's words were not being understood, he repeated them.
Perhaps all Beilung had in mind was Riyan and Rhone.
"Beilung... you've... become... like that..." (Riyan)
Riyan looked at Beilung with sad eyes.
"Rhone is mine." (Beilung)
"Rhone is not yours. Nor is she mine. Beilung, let's end this now." (Riyan)
Riyan let out a pained voice and pushed away from the knight's back. The recoil caused Riyan to fall to the ground.
"Riyan-san!?" (Knight)
The knight was surprised by Riyan's sudden action.
"Ryan!" (Rhone)
Rhone looked worried as Riyan collapsed.
"Yuna-san, that's right. I can't help... but feel sorry... for you. Please... take good care... of Rhone." (Riyan)
Does he know my name?
Riyan slowly straightened up, and the knife was in his hand, I wondered where it had come from.
"Riyan-san, that knife..." ()
Before we could stop him, Riyan thrusted the knife into his chest.
"Riyan!" (Rhone)
Rhone hugged Riyan.
"If I don't do it... my mana... won't stop... flowing... to Beilung. Please... stop Beilung." (Riyan)
Riyan vomited blood and fell to the ground.
Riyan's eyes were closed and her body didn't move at all.
"Riyan, Riyan" ()
"That knife is mine..." ()
Rhone cried out, and the knight and maid remained motionless, unsure of what had happened.
Kumayuru, Kumakyu, and Prim looked at him.
Me too.
"Riyan! That's a lie! Riyan, wake up. Please. You're finally awake, but it's terrible." (Rhone)
Rhone cried on Riyan's chest.
"Please, don't die." (Riyan)
When I came back to my senses and tried to approach Riyan to cast a healing spell, Beilung shot a spell at me. I barely dodge it.
"Ri... ya... n." (Beilung)
Beilung approached Riyan, as if unsteady. It was a chance to attack, but I couldn't. Belung knelt down in front of the fallen Riyan.
"Ri... ya... n." (Beilung)
"It's your fault. It's your fault that Riyan died." (Rhone)
Rhone slapped Beilung in the face with her small hand.
But there was no reaction from Belung.
"Ri...ya...n." (Beilung)
Beilung touched Riyan's body again, calling out his name in a low voice. Then, mana began to shine from Beilung's body.
"What!?"
The people around Belung were blown away by Belung's mana.
Knight and maid fell to the ground. Rhone flew in the air, and I ran to catch her.
"Ugh, that hurts." (Rhone)
Rhone began to hurt in my hands.
The situation was the same as when Beilung gained power from Rhone earlier.
Are you trying to gain more power?
But why? Even though Riyan was dead.
"Rhone!" ()
"It hurts" (Rhone)
Rhone fainted from the pain.
"Rho...ne" ()
When Beilung slowly stoods up and looked at me, he attacked me at great speed.
Beilung swung his sword down at me.
I blocked Beilung's sword with my mithril knife.
Where is that kind of power?
Are you using Riyan's corpse as a medium?
Or is he alive?
Unprecedented mana was being released from Beilung.
"Give me back Rhone..." (Beilung)
"If you ask me to give it back, I won't be able to give it to you. Kumayuru, Kumakyuu!" (Yuna)
I screamed and kicked Beilung away at the same time.
Then, Kumayuru ran up to me and I placed the unconscious Rhone on its back.
"Please, thanks" (Yuna)
"Kuu~n" (Kumayuru)
"You guys get out of here quickly." (Yuna)
I said to the knight and maid.
"Where?" ()
"I don't know about that. Anyway, if you don't leave Beilung, you'll be killed!" (Yuna)
The battle between Beilung and I resumed.
Riyan was bleeding and collapsed.
He might still be alive, but even if I wanted to help, Beilung got in the way.
Beilung attacked indiscriminately in anger.
He's fast…….
Rosa's perspective
We borrowed the horses that the knights were riding and headed towards the mansion.
There was chaos in the city.
Those who were suffering and falling down. Someone who was caring for someone.
It seemed to be the effect of being deprived of mana.
What on earth is happening at the mansion?
"Ugh" (Rosa)
Also, my mana was taken away and I felt weak.
I held the reins firmly and make sure I didn't fall off the horse.
"Rosa, are you okay?" (Blitz)
Blitz was also worried and seemed to be in pain.
"I'm fine." (Rosa)
Using the magic stone I borrowed from Ran, I regained my health a little.
"Is Blitz okay?" (Rosa)
"I want to say it's okay, but it's a little harsh. But I can't say that. I'm worried about Yuna and the others." (Blitz)
I knew Yuna-chan was strong. However, considering that our actions this time were known to the lord, it was quite possible that a knight was waiting in the mansion.
In such a situation, Yuna-chan might be fighting the knights strengthened by the power of fairies while protecting Noa-chan and the others all by herself.
"Hurry up, let’s go." (Blitz)
"Yeah" (Rosa)
We were currently unable to help the residents.
All we could do now was went to the lord and tried to settle this mess.
We rode our horses and headed for the lord's mansion.
As I approached the mansion, I saw something shaped like a bear. There were several bears, and they stood as if trapping the knight.
"Did Yuna do it?" (Rosa)
That was all I could think of. Maybe Yuna-chan stopped these knights in their tracks.
If these knights had headed towards guild master or us, the operation might have failed.
Thanks to Yuna-chan stopping the knights, we were able to destroy the device that was stealing magic power.
However, Yuna-chan's wishes did not reach me, and the attempt to destroy the device that stole mana ended in a half failure.
The knights looked like they were suffering in the bear cage, but now every moment counts. We didn't have time to help like the residents.
Besides, if we helped them, they might attack us, so we had no choice but to leave them alone for now.
As we rode our horse past the knights locked in a bear cage, we met knights and maids who seemed to have come from the mansion, but they either fell to the ground or were walking in pain.
Our horses rode past them, but they didn't seem to care about us.
Maybe they didn't have that luxury.
We too felt extremely weak.
"What on earth is going on in the mansion?" (Rosa)
"Let's hurry." (Blitz)
Then, we arrived in front of the mansion.
Without horses, we would never have been able to get there.
The wall surrounding the mansion was brutally destroyed, and Yuna-chan and a creepy man were fighting inside the destroyed wall.
The fight between both of them didn't look like humans were fighting.
Their movement was fast, and swords and knives collided each other.
If they released magic, the ground would be gouged, and walls and mansions would be destroyed.
"Is this a serious battle for a young girl?" (Blitz)
"Blitz..." (Rosa)
We also knew that Yuna-chan was strong.
But I only knew that, I had never seen a real battle.
"It's so amazing that I'm jealous." (Blitz)
I could understand that feeling. Not just magic, but that movement, knife handling. Both techniques were top class.
Even if I fought only with magic, I couldn't win. Blitz could not win even if he fought with only a sword.
That was how amazing Yuna's fight was. Who was that man who was fighting equally with Yuna?
"Rosa, that's Yuna's bear over there." (Blitz)
Before Blitz could see, Kumayuru-chan and Kumakyu-chan, then a man and a woman, and then someone was lying on the ground.
