When I heard that voice, at first I thought I was hearing things.
I thought it was a wishful thinking, an auditory hallucination made by my weak mind in the throes of death.
Because this is a battlefield.
There can't be an uzuki in here.
But...
Hey!
When I thought I heard a shout that was so out of place, something came flying in late.
The projectile with a tremendous slow and mountainous trajectory, however, did not hit the Shin'en-ryu, but instead fell with a plop at its feet.
I'm not very athletic.
If you look closely, you'll see that the object thrown
Shafts...?
It was.
It's the thing you use to make a meal.
"Woo! Then--
As soon as he said that, he came running up to me with a delicate and not very fast run, as if to protect me, the one who stood in front of the Shin-En-Dryu was--
Uzushi--
She was the last girl I wanted to see at first sight - and for some reason she had a ladle in her right hand.
Of course, it's the thing you use to scoop up miso soup.
''Chichi, chichi, I think I'm going to pee my pants if I look at it up close...! But I'm here to help you, Mr. Sayre. Heeeeeee! Don't glare at me, dragon...
It's a good thing Uzuki is so lazy that he's facing the Shin-En-Dragon with a ladle in one hand, but if you look closely - even if you don't look closely - his knees are trembling.
I'm not sure what the hell is going on here, Uzuki...
That would be a natural question.
As I recall, you promised something like "I'll wait for you to come home" - "Oh, I'll take care of it", right?
To tell you the truth, after that, I couldn't stand still, so I came after him! I'm a slow runner and it took me a long time to get there. When I finally arrived in town, the gates were open, the residents were outside the walls, and above all, there was a huge dragon running rampant.
Oh, well...
You have to be able to have a good idea of what you are looking for.
But the fact that Uzuru had no fighting ability and showed his back to me without a care in the world, even the Shin Demon Dragon seemed a little puzzled by Uzuru's intrusion.
I'm not sure if it's because of the fact that I'm a little confused or not.
''Shin Demolition Dragon is the type that can read the atmosphere unexpectedly...''
However, as expected, the situation is too dangerous.
"No, Uzuki, it's very dangerous there--
When I said, "Get out of here,
That's where I knew she'd be. I knew right away that she was fighting.
Expecting something - my belief in my victory was drowned out like a prelude to a windfall by the words of Uzuki, who couldn't stop believing in me.
But it's good, I was able to save Seya from a difficult situation. Now it's time to turn the tables, it's Seya's turn all the way.
And then Uzuki gazes at me with eyes that are sparkling and filled with 120% expectation and trust.
That passionate gaze, that strong feeling, is directed straight at me like this.
''Please don't do this anymore--''
When I couldn't stand it anymore, I muttered this to myself without effort.
