NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1
Dont die!
With dripping nose, saliva and tears on the whole face, the elf child was shouting.
A small hand like an apple was pressed against the chest of the young man.
From there, a lot of blood is gushing out, and from the cut that extends until the abdomen his internal organs were partly protruded.
To stop it, the child was struggling to hold down the mans life even for a little bit.
Dont die Raid-sama!
As the young man tries to wipe the childs tears He gives up.
His left arm is already broken and will not move.
He wipes the little girls cheek with his remaining right arm. Now instead of tears, its blood thats smeared all over.
That was the blood of the young man, and also the blood of the fallen enemy.
In the corner of the young mans vision was the dead body of the defeated Devil.
On the other side, the children who have lowered to their waist.
Children who barely escaped from being sacrificed for a ceremony.
Among them, only this little girl ran towards the young man to treat him.
Furthermore for being too late there were sacrifices in another direction, breathless children and the figure of the main culprit, a priest.
Donotcryitsalright
Theres no way its alright. The young man was already prepared to die.
Nevertheless there was one reason to claim it was alright.
Its because his companion who was in this place before her figure disappeared.
A girl who always followed the right answer and was called a wise woman. That girl disappeared. But it was not pointless.
Then theres only one thing to think about. She went to call for help. Because I ordered so.
Shes not very talented at magic.
Even so, compared with the average person shes skilled, but she doesnt have the ability to save the young man from the verge of death.
Thats why she left this place, so she can call for someone who can help. She was allowed to leave.
Thats why Its okay right?
I squeezed the strength to spit up blood-Actually a massive hemoptysis[1]-and comforted the girl.
Ill probably die. My friend who went to call for help betting in that one possibility most likely will not make it in time, right?
Thats why I wanted to reassure this girl.
Iwontdie
A promise that I couldnt keep.
Leaving the girl behind, the young man-One of the heroes who were called Shadow Feather Raid isdead.
