There wasn’t even enough time for me to blink when the spell was shot right in front of my eyes.
In the first place, going against Rozalie in my current state was already impossible. It was a no-brainer, actually.
And so, instead of saving Sophie, I simply increased the number of victims by one more.
It wasn’t like I was obligated to save Sofie, so I wonder why I brainlessly leapt at that time.
‘If I knew this was going to happen…’
I screamed with all I got while hugging Sofie, and we’re on the verge of being swallowed in the magic’s explosion.
“If I knew this was going to happen, I should have escaped right away!!”
“— Right!!!!”
Somebody replied when I unwittingly spilled my real thoughts.
My arm was grabbed before the shock registered, and Sofie and I were thrown together behind the detonation.
The place we were standing exploded, and the blast created a huge crater.
‘What! What!?’
I was flabbergasted, but before I could raise my hair, Rozalie’s magic continued exploding in series.
The terrace’s chairs and tables were all blown away.
Strangely enough, our surroundings remained calm, even though we’re not that far from Rozalie.
The shock waves and the blasts all vanished when it reached us.
‘Why….?’
The question swirled in my mind, when I heard an unpleasant voice.
“I should have just gotten the heck out of here instead of hanging around to watch what’s going on!! Darn it!”
It was brimming with exasperation, so I raised my eyes.
A man — no, a young lad — was standing there with his back facing us.
It was as if he was protecting us while the blasts continued on.
His brilliant golden hair fluttered amidst the harsh winds.
This back was usually as obnoxious as it could be.
However, at this moment, I couldn’t help but feel that he looked extremely dependable.
“Lufure-sa —”
Ma.
A remarkably strong burst occurred before I could finish what I was saying.
It was blinding, but there was no time for us to close our eyes.
The blast earlier was enough to send us flying in just an instant, but I was pretty sure that Lufure-sama would be fine —
It wasn’t the case.
Lufure-sama was blown off, crash landing beside Lidianne.
“….”
Rozalie’s mana ran out from the great explosion earlier.
The bursts stopped, and the terrace was filled with silence for a brief moment.
“……………..”
Lidianne hastily rushed towards Lufure-sama, who collapsed.
It was a relief that his body seemed fine and there was no blood.
I slowly blinked in the midst of silence.
Then, I inhaled deeply.
“Lufure-sama!!!!!!!!?????”
So weak!? — no, I wouldn’t say that.
He rescued us after all, and I couldn’t even block Rozalie’s magic.
I was grateful to him, of course. He was our savior.
‘But!!!!’
I thought that ‘we’re saved!’ for a moment, but —
‘The number of victims just increased again with this!!’
