Editing Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance:Volume14 Chapter10 (section)

===Part 5===

"You've waited long enough, Fianna&mdash;"

"...Kamito... -kun..."

Fianna squeezed out a feeble voice, whispering that name.

&mdash;The name of him whom she had been waiting for the whole time.

"...Kazehaya Kamito!?"

Leschkir widened her eyes and exclaimed.

"W-Why are you here!?"

However, Kamito ignored her and knelt down next to Fianna.

He touched her shoulder lightly. Her leg seemed to have a fracture and she could not stand up on her own.

"You, arrived... Kamito, -kun..."

"No need to speak. You've done well, Fianna."

Kamito gently stroked her head while she spoke in fragments.

"...Ah, ooh..."

Her pure-white dress was tattered beyond recognition, exposing her tender skin.

Kamito took off his uniform jacket and draped it over Fianna's back. With healing prayers woven into the uniform, it should offer some level of relief.

"I heard your voice, Fianna. That's why I hurried over&mdash;"

"...I always believed you'd come."

Still collapsed on the ground, she smiled.

"...Listen up, conversation is over, okay?"

Leschkir spoke coldly.

Hearing that, Kamito slowly looked up and glared at her.

Instantly, Leschkir's entire body shuddered.

Kamito's aura of fury, carrying fierce divine power, was shaking the air.

"...So it's you who harmed Fianna huh?"

Kamito whispered then pulled out the Vorpal Blade, one of the Twin Daggers of Darkness, that had embedded itself in the ground.

"...Tsk, what are the knights doing?"

In response, Leschkir looked around her in a fluster.

However&mdash;

"I've already defeated all of your Imperial Knights in the palace on my way here."

"What&mdash;"

Leschkir was dumbstruck.

"W-What a funny joke. How could that be possible&mdash;"

"You think it's funny? Then why is no one coming here?"

Kamito brought together the two daggers in his hands and poured in divine power. The white and black blades instantly glowed, transforming into the Demon King's Sword&mdash;Terminus Est Zwei.

Maintaining his posture as though drawing a sword naturally, Kamito took a step in Leschkir's direction.

"...!"

Faced with his movement, Leschkir took a step back.

It was an involuntary action prompted by fear.

He took a step closer. She stepped back.

Another step forward. Another step back.

"What's the matter? You're tarnishing the name of the Empire's strongest, the Numbers."

"Gah..."

Another step forward&mdash;This time, she did not step back. But rather than her pride as a Numbers knight, it was merely because she had her back against a mountain of rubble.

Another step forward...

"...C-Curse you&mdash;"

Leschkir extended one hand and released a gravity sphere.

This offensive magic was supposed to be able to instantly turn a building of stone into a mountain of rubble.

However&mdash;

"Useless&mdash;"

Kamito ''simply swatted it away with one hand''.

"...How... impossible!?"

Leschkir groaned in shock. The phenomenon of deflecting an attack of spirit magic without using an elemental waffe was completely beyond the realm of common sense.

"...What is this!? What the hell are you!?"

Leschkir continued to fire magical attacks.

However, Kamito brushed off all attacks with his bare hands without even dodging.

"...Kamito-kun!?"

Fianna widened her dusk-colored eyes. Although Leschkir could not see it, Fianna witnessed it clearly. The miasma of darkness shrouding Kamito's entire body was erasing her magic completely.

"...I won't forgive you for hurting Fianna like that."

"Why... Why...!?"

One step, another step&mdash;As Kamito gradually approached, she unleashed gravity spheres like torrential rain.

"Like I said, it's useless&mdash;"

Kamito said in boredom while stepping on debris.

"...Damn, it...!"

Possibly because Kamito's calm attitude was hurting her pride, Leschkir suddenly changed her expression.

"F-Fine, in that case, I'll tear you apart together with the entire space&mdash;!"

Leschkir's deployed elemental waffe began to spin at high speed in the air.

Instantly, a powerful gravitational field was produced, distorting the surrounding space.

Kamito's feet sank into the ground, creating depressions where he stepped.

(...Tsk, this is a bit of a pain.)

Kamito clicked his tongue.

Although he had his miasma of darkness to defend his body, if this continued, he would be immobilized, only taking hits one-sidedly.

"F-Fufu... Now you can't even take another step!"

"...Kamito... -kun...!"

Caught in the gravitational field, Fianna panted in pain.

"Ahaha, be crushed together with the princess like this!"

Leschkir laughed noisily.

Kamito reached out to Fianna and embraced her protectively.

The miasma of darkness immediately enveloped Fianna's entire body, protecting her from the gravitational field.

"Kamito-kun... I am fine now... So... run away&mdash;"

"&mdash;Idiot, I already promised. To take you back."

"Promised?"

BOOM!

The gravitational field grew stronger, pinning the two of them firmly to the ground.

"...Gah, ugh, ugh...!"

"...So it's not that easy to escape after all."

Continuing to hold Fianna in his embrace, Kamito whispered in her ear.

"Fianna, can your elemental waffe break this gravitational field?"

"&mdash;Huh?"

After some contemplation&mdash;

"...Yes, I think so."

Fianna nodded.

Fianna's Save the Queen was an elemental waffe that constructed a barrier in the area surrounding the user. It should be possible to erase this gravitational field by using that.

"But in my current state, I..."

Fianna's divine power was depleted. Let alone deploying an elemental waffe, even summoning the knight spirit would be difficult.

&mdash;However, Kamito had an idea.

Although it was a risky gamble, current circumstances did not allow for hesitation.

"Fianna, can you trust me?"

"Huh?"

Fianna showed puzzlement in response to Kamito's question.

"I'll ask again, can you trust me?"

Kamito looked Fianna straight in the eye.

"Do you even need to ask?"

"Then close your eyes&mdash;"

"Huh?"

Driven by the violent impulse surging from the depths of his being&mdash;

Kamito embraced Fianna and took her lips.

"...!?"

Fianna widened her dusk-colored eyes.

However, she soon closed them again. Relaxing herself, she leaned against him.

"...Mmm, smooch..."

In this manner, their tongues naturally tangled together as though licking.

"...Mmm, huff, mmmm..."

The feeling of lips brought together. Fianna sought Kamito single-mindedly while Kamito greedily hugged her shoulders tight.

"...Mmm... Yah... Mmm..."

Enormous divine power flowed into Fianna.

This unruly and violent divine power seemed to trample her entire being.

Through her intuition as a princess maiden, Fianna understood. This was a taboo power.

A dark power that elementalists, who were supposed to be pure maidens, were absolutely forbidden to touch.

However, she did not resist. Like a howling storm, the violent divine power circulated within her body&mdash;

"Mmm... Smooch, huff..."

&mdash;Finally, their lips separated.

Swooning, Fianna looked at Kamito in rapture.

"Are you okay?"

"Y-Yes..."

Fianna nodded.

Holding Kamito's hand, she used the miasma of darkness to repel the gravity barrier and slowly stood up straight.

Then she raised her right hand vertically and began to chant words of summoning.

—Thou, servant of the king of the child of man, knight and master swordsman!

—By the contract of the old blood, become the sword that protects me, come forth and do my bidding!

Her adorable voice sounded inside the distorted space.

The raging divine power within her instantly overflowed and was released in one breath. That feeling was like when she summoned Georgios at the abandoned mine city several months earlier.

&mdash;Its appellation reads thus, Save the Queen.

Appearing in Fianna's hand was a rapier with intricate engravings.

Then she stabbed its tip into the ground, producing a surge of pure light, neutralizing the gravity barrier.

"W-What!?"

Leschkir cried out in surprise.

"I can't believe you countered my gravity cage&mdash;?"

Fianna extended the rapier towards her and declared:

"Dame Leschkir Hirschkilt, in light of your alleged treason in conspiring with the Holy Kingdom, I, Fianna Ray Ordesia, Second Princess of the Empire, hereby condemn you!"

"...Damn you, Lost Queeeeeeeen!"

In a panic, Leschkir shot out her gravity sphere elemental waffe.

But it was too late. Kamito had already sprung into action.

"Take your punishment, Leschkir Hirschkilt&mdash;"

He poured the amplifying elemental waffe's power into the Demon King's Sword.

"Absolute Blade Arts, First Form&mdash;Purple Lightning!"

The jet-black slash pierced Leschkir's body and the gravity sphere alike.
