On the identical time, Guiche and the opposite youths of the Ondine Knight Corps worriedly gazed in direction of the “Holy Land” the place Saito flew from the deck of the “Ostland”.

“That man, Saito shall be effective.”

“Anyway, even when we stopped him, he wouldn’t pay attention.”

Guiche casually replied to Malicorne’s leisurely muttering.

“Regardless of what number of instances he was crushed or laid out, He nonetheless courageously confronted my Valkyries. He’s an unyielding individual and there’s no means he’d be made to surrender. He’s an especially cussed individual.”

Right now, Colbert returned from repairing the steam system.

“What’s the scenario within the ’Holy Land’?”

“No abnormalities, the military has virtually completed touchdown….”

Reynald, who monitored the “Holy Land” with “Farsight” magic, answered.

“Oh, actually….”

It was similtaneously Colbert moved his hand towards his chin.

On the identical time, Malicorne, who was additionally observing the “Holy Land” with “Farsight” instantly shouted.

“H-H-H-How…!”

“What’s it, Malicorne?”

Guiche wrinkled his forehead.

“The scenario within the ’Holy Land’ doesn’t appear proper!”

“The one which doesn’t appear proper is you.”

After the noncommittal response, Kirche chanted “Farsight” magic.

She then exclaimed “Oh no.”

“What’s it, Ms. Zerbst?”

“Not good! The ’Holy Land’ is slowly falling!”

“What did you say?!”

A rumbling sound, just like the sound that the earth makes, rang by the sky.

The “Holy Land”, full of the landed military, was as if scorching like a frying pan.

As a result of the “Holy Land” that was initially floating within the air was now slowly falling.

Dragon knights and magicians may nonetheless fly within the air, however there wasn’t one other means for the widespread troopers. The troopers charged in direction of the ships in a panic.

“The facility of the ’Void’ is misplaced… I didn’t suppose this really may occur….”

On the swaying floor, Vittorio Serevare appeared to the sky and sighed.

He may clearly really feel the facility of the ’Void’, granted by the Founder, regularly flowing out of his physique.

The large “Door” that was opened within the air started to slowly shut….

Going through the Founder’s lengthy desired “Holy Land”, Vittorio may solely stand the place he was, dumbly.

There was solely two methods to eradicate the facility of the “Void” from this world.

The primary, was to recuperate the “Holy Land”, and the second was….

For the ’Gandálfr’ to kill his grasp together with his personal hand.

The place did she be taught the second technique?

“No, underneath the circumstances, that’s already unimportant….”

The self-deprecating Vittorio shook his head.

It’s was his loss. On the final second, she misplaced to her love.

She had measured the lifetime of the person she beloved and Halkeginia on a scale and selected the previous. She had choses to sacrifice her personal life to avoid wasting the younger man from his fated demise.

The “Holy Land” was crumbling, and large cracks appeared within the floor.

Within the chaos and noise, Vittorio stared on the setting of the destroyed Ruby of Fireplace.

“All hope is gone. Mom, I’ll see you quickly.”

After chanting the Founder’s prayer, Vittorio jumped right into a crack within the floor.

Be it the bottom shaking, or the all-encompassing noise, Saito didn’t hear a factor.

Nonetheless holding the bloody stays of Louise in his arms, he stored on crying and crying.

“Louise… Hey, Louise… Please open your eyes, okay!”

Louise had already stopped respiratory.

The deep brown eyes that used to maneuver so delicately may not open.

No smile would seem on her face which had misplaced its blood.

“Why… Why like this… Louise!”

Saito tightly hugged Louise, along with her pink-blonde hair.

Louise… My love, my favourite grasp.

A cussed temperament, excessive shallowness, a robust sense of justice….

The woman that instructed Saito that she beloved him….

The rune on his left hand weakened and regularly disappeared.

“Don’t go away… Please, don’t vanish, okay…?”

Squeezing his left hand, Saito shouted.

That is the hyperlink between Louise and I….

“Rattling… Isn’t this the identical as 6,000 years in the past…?”

If Gandálfr have been to kill his grasp, the facility of the “Void” could be worn out.

Louise, who dreamed the identical dream as Saito, knew this and tried to get Saito to kill her.

That might be the one approach to save each Saito and the world of Saito’s homeland.

Even when it meant sacrificing herself and Halkeginia’s future, Louise needed to avoid wasting Saito.

Saito reached out his hand, touching the regularly cooling cheeks of Louise.

“Louise, after I was crushed by Guiche, you took care of me for 3 days and three nights. After that, not solely did you go together with me to purchase a sword, you additionally confronted Fouquet’s golem with Kirche, Tabitha and I… Additionally, the Ball of Frigg, was the primary time you danced with me. To now, I nonetheless keep in mind the sensation of my coronary heart race seeing you carrying your formal costume.”

Saito gently combed Louise’s hair with trembling fingers.

“After that, I fought in opposition to Wardes in Albion, we labored collectively on the ’Charming Fairies’ Inn, and skilled many adventures. You keep in mind after we returned to your property, didn’t you inform me that there was a neccessity for the reward of my loyalty? At the moment, I believed that you simply lastly agreed with me. I used to be so very glad….”

The recollections he made with Louise flashed by Saito’s thoughts with out stopping.

A marriage ceremony held in Albion, going to the Sleipnir Dance, and the journey with everybody to avoid wasting Tabitha. The date in Romalia, reuniting with Louise when she wiped her reminiscence, and residing steadily in Des Ornières. (The time you noticed me kiss the princess, inflicting you to go away house)….

There have been glad issues, enjoyable issues, unhappy issues, and troublesome issues… stuffed with recollections.

(Once I was in Tokyo, I by no means thought of my life objectives. I lived the boring lifetime of going to highschool and consuming….)

Saito tightly embraced Louise’s stays.

“Nonetheless, Louise. After you met me, I understood lots of issues. You adopted me to someplace completely different. Someplace which wasn’t right here……”

“…to! Saito!”

Saito didn’t know the place the voice calling him got here from.

Trying again, he noticed Siesta, Tiffania, and Henrietta desperately shouting from the opposite facet of a big crack within the floor.

“Saito, escape rapidly! When you keep there you’ll die!”

Tiffania yelled with concern.

“….”

However Saito shook his head and signaled that he was very sorry. That he would keep right here, along with Louise.

In fact he understood… If he died right here, he would waste all of Louise’s effort. Nonetheless, residing in a world with out Louise had no that means.

To return to Earth, or the way forward for Halkeginia, none of it mattered.

The settlement he made with Louise earlier than, to die collectively….

So at demise’s door, he needed to remain at Louise’s facet.

“Tiffa, Siesta, Princess… Sorry! Say goodbye to everybody for me!”

After shouting on the three, Saito picked up Louise’s stays and stood up.

Rumble, Rumble, Rumble… The bottom shook and the cracks received greater and greater.

Tiffania’s group continued to name Saito’s title, however lastly the bottom utterly break up aside, and the three couldn’t be seen once more.

Louise’s physique was very gentle. That tiny physique had been continually bearing the load of the destiny of the world… Pondering that, his tears may not be held again.

Such a tiny woman really gambled her life, making an attempt to avoid wasting me and the Earth….

With Louise’s physique nonetheless in his arms, Saito slowly moved in direction of the crack.

Louise, my most beloved….

Now we have to be collectively perpetually.

Though I don’t know if there’s a heaven in Halkeginia….

If there’s a heaven, we’ll get married in heaven.

Saito appeared down at nighttime crevice.

“Effectively….”

Even if you happen to’re mentally ready, within the second of fact, you continue to hesitate.

It couldn’t be that the explanation he couldn’t collect his braveness was associated to the disappearance of the “Gandálfr” rune?

“Dammit, bastard….”

Then Saito yelled, making an attempt to cover his worry, when he instantly found the physique of Louise in his arms was emitting blue and white gentle.

“….What’s occurring?”

Saito couldn’t assist however frown.

The supply of the sunshine was Derflinger.

“Derf?”

“Oh, accomplice, don’t be a complete fool.”

Right now, Derflinger spoke.

“You possibly can’t wreck this little girl’s intent.”

“Derf, you….”

Saito was at a complete loss….

“I remembered… my ultimate obligation.”

The sunshine of Derflinger’s blade received increasingly intense.

“Last obligation?”

“Effectively, that’s proper… Say accomplice, I’ve all the time felt unusual. I doubted my capacity that I grant my ’Wielder’ to behave utilizing magic energy… The precise use of this type of capacity.”

“What to do with… it isn’t to attempt to preserve the acquainted alive?”

“Effectively, I believed so firstly. However I used to be fallacious. That wasn’t the case in any respect.”

He noticed Derflinger’s gentle get brighter and brighter.

“I-I, all the time thought that the one who constructed me was Sasha.”

“You’re telling me that’s fallacious?”

“No, it’s not fallacious… I didn’t say that. The right reply is that I used to be the creation of Sasha and Brimir, the achievement of the 2 working collectively.”

“Brimir?”

“Proper, the desire of each of them was injected into my physique. When you concentrate on it, the block on my reminiscence may be very very similar to the desire of Brimir… however that doesn’t matter. The primary level is that simply earlier than Brimir died, it looks like he injected ’Void’ magic into me.”

“And that is the power to let Derf’s ’Wielder’ transfer?”

Listening to this, Saito requested.

“Effectively, that’s how it’s. The factor Brimir left me is the ’Void’ magic to endow life. Versus the ’Life’ meant for destruction, a distinct sort of ’Life’ magic.”

“So what precisely are you saying, Derf…?”

When Saito stated this….

Ping….

A small crack appeared on the floor of Derflinger.

“Derf?”

“Give it some thought, for six,000 years, I’ll have lived all this time for this second.”

Ping… Ping….

The cracks scattered throughout the floor regularly increase.

On the identical time, the sunshine from the blade of Derflinger regularly elevated….

“Derf!”

Saito was shocked, and shouted the title of his accomplice.

Then Saito realized what Derflinger needed to do.

“Derf, don’t inform me you….”

“Don’t make that face, accomplice.”

Derflinger’s tone was the standard one.

“I’m really glad to have the ability to meet you accomplice. Though it’s a pity to say goodbye, however I’ve no regrets. After residing for six,000 years, I’ve utterly fulfilled my mission. This life as a device wasn’t lived in useless.”

“…You aren’t a device, Derf isn’t some sort of device!”

Saito cried as he spoke.

“You aren’t a device… You’re my good friend.”

“Effectively, listening to you say that makes me very glad.”

He noticed the tip of Derflinger’s blade regularly crumble….

Thus far, Saito may solely dumbly sit there and watch.

“Associate… Let the little girl be glad. Don’t be untrue once more.”

“Derf….”

At the moment, Saito seen.

Louise’s fingers, which have been simply turning into chilly, moved barely.

“… Louise?”

“It appears to be profitable….”

Derflinger’s voice was like gossamer.

“Goodbye, accomplice. This time is de facto goodbye.”

“Derf, wa-wait I, Derf….”

“I’m really glad to have met you.”

“Derf—-!”

At that second, the sunshine shrouding Louise and Derflinger’s blade in radiance shattered immediately.

“… un, wh…”

… Louise slowly opened her eyes.

In entrance of her was a black-haired teenager.

Crying tears, with snot popping out his nostril, and no concept what he was saying.

…It’s Saito.

Saito is shouting my title.

What? What’s occurring?”

This confused Louise. As a result of didn’t she simply die?

With the intention to save Saito’s life, she selected to die by being run by by Derflinger.

Effectively, that’s undoubtedly proper. I died at the moment, surely.

So, the place is that this? Why is Saito right here?

Right now, Louise was shocked.

This may’t be heaven?

Effectively, it should be like this, proper?

It seems that I went to heaven….

Louise understood this.

Uh, no, wait. If that is heaven….

Why is Saito right here?

I’m in heaven now, I’m right here… so, that’s, um….

After pondering for a number of seconds, Louise got here to a conclusion.

“You, you, y-y-you, you….”

“You?”

“W-what did you do ()!”

Louise kicked Saito within the crotch laborious.

“That hurts ever so very much——-!”

Instantly afterwards, there was no mercy, Saito was kicked rolling throughout the bottom.

“You fool, I clearly died to avoid wasting you, and also you ended up following me! Fool, you, large, fool! W-w-waaaaaaaaaa!”

“W-wait! Wait a second, settle down a bit, Louise!”

Saito, being angrily kicked by Louise, shouted.

“Y-you nonetheless dare to inform me to settle down! Y-you really, really did this….”

“You have been resurrected.”

“…What?”

This sentence confused Louise.

After trying round, she realized this place was simply the “Holy Land”.

“…You say I used to be resurrected?”

“Effectively, though it’s kinda laborious to consider….”

Saito stood up and grabbed Louise’s hand.

From the palm of Saito’s hand, she actually felt heat.

“W-why? However, didn’t I, die… proper?”

The uneasy Louise stated.

“It was Derf that saved you.”

Saito sorrowfully stated.

She noticed the wreckage of Derflinger fallen at their ft.

“Derf saved me?”

“Effectively, He stated one thing about his ultimate obligation… he gave his life to you.”

Then Saito instructed Louise Derflinger’s ultimate phrases.

With the intention to not repeat the tragedy from 6,000 years in the past, the Founder Brimir injected Life into Derflinger. Then Derflinger used that Life to convey Louise again to life….

Louise was in a daze for a bit after listening to this, lastly her tears overflowed.

After accumulating the wreckage of Derflinger, piece by piece, she tightly held them to her chest.

“Derf, you all the time, all the time helped us.”

“Yeah.”

“I… I additionally suppose, that you simply have been my most essential good friend.”

Louise’s tears, dampened Derflinger, who had was atypical damaged iron.

“Derf, thanks.”

Louise whispered along with her eyes closed

Saito additionally silently closed his eyes.

In actual fact, even Saito needed to cry.

However as a substitute of sorrow, Saito thinked that they have been to fortunately thank Derflinger.

(Thanks… Thanks for resurrecting my most beloved individual, Louise.)

After the 2 mourned Derflinger for some time… the bottom instantly swayed.

“Wh-what?”

“It’s associated to the facility of the ’Void’ vanishing. The spirit energy guiding the ’Holy Land’ is uncontrolled.”

“How come….”

“Let’s go, that is the life the Derf gave you. We are able to’t die right here.”

“Yeah.”

After accumulating the fragments of Derflinger, Saito put them into his jacket pocket.

“Saito, your physique is already crushed black and blue… Are you okay?”

“Effectively anyway, the ’Lífþrasir’ rune has already disappeared, and I can nonetheless arise.”

Then Saito appeared round.

The Zero Fighter was destroyed some time in the past. Though there have been ships….

“… Principally, we have to go away the middle first.”

Main Louise by hand, Saito broke right into a run.

The bottom swayed violently. In spite of everything, it was nonetheless floating within the air, and the diploma of shaking wasn’t akin to an earthquake. There have been giant and small cracks all over the place, and Saito and Louise stumbled a number of instances.

“The falling velocity is accelerating!”

“As a result of the ’Void’ has misplaced its energy.”

When making ready to leap over a small crack in entrance of them, the bottom at their ft instantly collapsed.

“Ah!”

“Louise!”

Louise, with a foot getting into mid-air, was promptly pulled again by Saito.

Their unique foothold adopted the collapse and fell into the ocean immediately under.

“Thanks, Saito.”

Louise’s physique was week and he or she sat on the bottom. Her ft had already reached their restrict, and it appeared like Saito had no energy to proceed working. Though the “Lífþrasir” rune had disappeared, it stillwas very admirable for him to have run to there together with his abused physique.

The rock continued to fall, and the 2 of them have been stranded on a small rock that had separated from the larger rock.

“Rattling, at this fee….”

The present Louise had no means to make use of “Flight” or “Float”, they might solely wait for somebody to find them and supply help. Nonetheless, this rock clearly couldn’t final for for much longer….

“Saito, take a look at that….”

Right now, Louise, who rotated, pointed up.

When the “Holy Land” collapsed and regularly fell, solely the massive central part glowed and regularly rose into the air.

That should be the “Spirit Stone” physique often called “The Nice Will”.

It was the primary perpetrator that can set off the mainland’s “Nice Rebellion” by resonating with all the “Wind Stone” in Halkeginia.

In the event that they couldn’t consider a approach to take care of it, there could be no approach to save Halkeginia….

“Finally, how will we take care of that….”

Right now, Saito seen a light-weight ball glowing within the distance overhead.

At first he thought it was the solar… nevertheless it wasn’t.

That….

“Is ’Life’….”

Saito mumbled.

Though the sunshine ball had shrunk, the brilliance didn’t decay. The big “Void” energy nonetheless existed, from the life consumed by “Lífþrasir”.

“Louise.”

Then Saito spoke.

“That, can you continue to chant?”

“That?”

Louise appeared up overhead, and instantly understood Saito’s that means.

“…I don’t know. However possibly there’s worth in making an attempt.”

After answering with a seriou expression, Louise pulled out her wand from her cloak.

From the the scale of the sunshine ball, it wouldn’t have the unique energy of “Life”.

Furthermore, Louise didn’t chant the ultimate verse of “Life”.

In different phrases, it was not “Life”, at most it’s only a very giant “Explosion”.

However possibly it’s sufficient to explode the guts of the “Holy Land”.

“I’ll strive.”

After taking a deep breath, Louise raised her wand.

Saito nodded, positioned his hand on Louise’s arm, and tightly hugged her physique.

She felt a weak, fever-like pleasure.

That pleasure felt very comforting, and let Louise settle down.

As if all the feelings flowed out her physique with the sound of her chanting.

Louise dedicated to that feeling.

That was the ultimate “Void” magic.

—

Essentially the most primary “Void” spell, which wasn’t even for rookies.

“Explosion.”

An increasing flash swallowed the guts of the “Holy Land”.

On the identical time, the bottom collapsed underneath their ft, and the 2 fell straight down….

“Success, Louise… you actually saved the world.”

Seeing this, Saito spoke, with combined emotions.

“Um… however, already….”

If issues proceed, it’s undoubtedly a lifeless finish.

The 2 have been each mentally ready and closed their eyes.

At the moment, an unknown drive instantly picked up Saito’s physique.

“Wh-what?!”

Taking a glimpse up… He noticed that a big wind dragon had caught Louise and him.

“Hey, you two, you’ve accomplished splendidly.”

“Julio!”

Azuro, who had caught the 2, was holding the exhausted Pope in his mouth.

“With this you owe me a favor, Saito.”

“What favor?!”

“Ha ha ha, maintain on you two. In spite of everything, I’m not ’Vindálfr’, so the flight is likely to be a bit of tough.”

Azuro chirped, and flapped his wings as he flew into the sky.
