”That was a simple matterI knew from the start that you were headed for the Empire”

”Fair enough”

Was I followed?Sui to both Al the castle

Felrim”…Suimei-dono, I will be direct with youDid you draw out your strength to annihilate a largeyour travels to Filas Filia?Or, am I mistaken?”

”Yeah, that was me”

Awe seeps through Felmenia's voice and expression as says, ”Then, Suimei-dono, you are the one who desolated the mazoku forces?”

Sui time has passed since he's last had to deal with such a senseless development”Well, I did help out”

Felmenia frowns at Suimei's words”I fail to understand your displeasureAre you not the only one capable of such a feat?After all, at that tiun…”

Felmenia's words jump out at Suimei”…You ran into Rajas?”

”Yes, back when I join with Yuusha-dono; he was engaged with an enormous mazoku on an open plainI took the occasion to ask it if the one responsible was a ician…Um, Suimei-dono, just want did you do?”

Sui headacheNeedless to say, it fails”I didn't do anything…Sorry, right now there's a lot of things I want to knowIs it alright if I ask you first?”

”Of course”

”First off, Reiji saw that battlefield?”

”Yes, he received word that a athered near the Empire's border and rushed there to save you from it”

”Huh?He kneas there?Well… I guess it worked outI've heard stories about how he delivered the finishi+ng blow against RajasThose were true, then?”

”Your name?…No, he only spoke of a man dressed in black”

”I see…”Hiician still hasn't leaked to Reiji's party

A heavy sigh escapes Suinals the waiter and asks for another glass of grape juiceAhis drink”…I failed to kill Rajas”

”That is your regret?”

”Yeah?I mean, I couldn't finish it on my own”

A strong sense of amazement escapes Felmenia at those words”If sole man was responsible for that devastation, we all would have fallen to our kneesAs for the lightning un, Rajas, was that your doing?”

At Sui was already overflowing froling to contain the spell within itself the entire ti blow, the lightning surpassed Rajas's li remained afterwardsIn conclusion, does that not un would have been felled even without Yuusha-dono?”

”I guess that's true…But I still couldn't beat it with my oer…”

”…I am unable to understand your disillusionmentYou defeated an army of almost 10,000 mazoku and then severely injured a powerful mazoku”

Suimei is taken aback by Felmenia's commentThere are some words in particular that stand out to him

”…10,000?”

”Yes, that is believed to be a reasonable esti the remains surveyed after the battle”

”Suimei-dono?”

”Ye- Yeah, they… they were…”Sui his throat, but can't do anything about the sweat rolling down his backHis inner thoughts are a complete messHe didn't just face an army of 10,000, he defeated itNo way, did I really do soret itEven now that he's aware of what he'd be facing, he'd do it again

Sui hiizes for his behavior and, ”…they were in my way, sorry”
