After the explosion stopped, Eldo fell down with a charred body. The impact of the attack received by him was too great yet he was still able to stand back and annoyance was visible on his facial expression.
Regretfully, his greatsword was thrown at me but it didn't reach me thanks to captain Minerva making an ice wall to protect me.
"How dare you!"
I wonder why that person still has strength even though his body is full of wounds. He stood still despite the deadly attack. However, my eyes focused on the small light that was on his chest, right where the heart was. It was barely visible from a distance but I was sure once there was something on his chest.
"Did the attack damage his brain?"
"You can't be like that, you know. It's the same as saying he's stupid."
"But right?"
Minerva smiled slightly with our conversation. I heard he hates men but seeing him now, it's not like he hates me.
"Captain Minerva, may I have your help?"
"No captain, you can call me Eva. Sure, what do you need?"
"Then...
After I explained my plan to Eva, she was willing to help me even if she didn't agree to it at first. I stood with the help of the holy sword as a buffer. Justifying my staggering position and making a fuss to run. Lightning sparks occurred between my legs and caused the wounds on my body to throb but I held it.
"Rin? What are you doing?"
Big brother's startled shout made all his attention go to me. But I ignored it and focused.
"Binding ice!"
An ice shaped like a root bound Eldo and made him unable to move for a while. I kicked the ground and moved at high speed. I drew the holy sword, Twilight, into Eldo's heart. There was a sound like shards of glass as the Twilight sword pierced through his heart.
"Well! Goddamn bum... How'd you..."
"It's a magic tool that allows you to reduce pain, right? But unfortunately I already know your trick."
Eldo cried out in pain and disappeared into the sand. I who lost a lot of blood lost my consciousness and fainted.
...----------------...
A mansion purchased by holy knights as their headquarters. The holy knights are the female knights who are the power of the kingdom.
After a grueling battle against an assassin named Eldo who wants to kill Ren. Everyone rested by soaking in the hot spring that was inside the mansion.
There were no fatal injuries that the holy knights suffered. The only person injured with horrific injuries is the royal hero, Ren Orion.
Although Ren's head still hurt, he soaked with the holy knights. Thanks to the hot spring bath that had a healing effect, the entire pain and fatigue disappeared just like that while he was soaking.
"How does it feel?" Asked Captain Kyoka who suddenly hugged Ren's right arm.
"I'm sure you feel like you're coming back to life, don't you, Ren?" It was followed by Minerva who also jumped up and hugged Ren's left arm.
From a male point of view the situation that Ren felt was heaven because he could feel four soft balls on both his arms. However, what Ren felt was hell, as he felt he could not relax properly.
"Gee! Can you guys stay away a little bit? I can't relax well!"
Ren broke away from the two women and sat down next to his brother. The two women looked at Rei hatefully.
"Th-That's it. Commander, you should be aware of your position."
"No problem, right? We're not working right now."
Rei understands the commanding officer's behavior because he will also be spoiled for his loved ones but he is still confused by Minerva who is suddenly close to his sister.
"Why? I don't know either. It's just that every time I'm with your sister, I feel like my heartbeat is beating twice as fast and feel good to be around her."
When Minerva tells her truthfulness, Ren hides behind Rei as he feels that he is bound to be in danger.
"Eva, your expression is scary."
Hearing those words coming out from Ren, Minerva fell silent for a moment then she returned to the facial expression that would eat Ren at any moment.
"Just calm down, it won't be long. Hehe."
Like seeing a ghost, Ren hugged his brother from behind and covered his face with his brother's back.
"Hey, Ren!"
Rei was surprised because he could feel his sister's warm hand on his stomach, as he wanted to break away, he could feel his sister's hand trembling. Ren's side that he never showed anyone. With resignation he let his sister and looked at Minerva sharply.
"Enough Minerva. Ren was scared because it was you."
Minerva sighed and returned to her usual calm expression. The commander who wanted to tease Ren, undoes his intentions after seeing Ren's frightened side.
"Hey, Ren. What have you done until someone wants to kill you?"
The atmosphere became somewhat silent and solemn as Rei asked.
"Although big brother asked me, I don't know either."
The women who heard that were puzzled because it was very strange if anyone tried to kill Ren for no reason.
"This is just my guess. Maybe they thought Ren was a threat to them."
"The threat? I didn't do anything bad."
Ren said that while remembering if there was anything that made him look bad.
"Chosen by the holy sword, Twilight, defeat the infiltrating demons, win the academy event in an admirable manner, befriend the prince moreover you have a double element. There's no way anyone wouldn't be jealous of you."
Captain Yumi says all the facts he has about Ren and it makes Ren feel like he has done a lot of silly things.
Rei rubbed Ren's head and made him calm as he felt concerned about Ren's condition. Although the facts Yumi spoke of sounded reasonable, there was something that made Rei awkward.
"If so, why kill him? If that's it then we holy knights should also be one of their Targets as well."
Commander Kyoka held his chin and thought calmly.
"That's very strange. But what if they think Ren is Noir?"
I was surprised to hear that, I never thought that the discussion would reach there. No, do they think so to me? Shouldn't have. I have to make them believe that I'm not Noir.
"Isn't it weird? I did use a double element but this Noir should be using the dark element."
"You're right."
Everyone believed my explanation and I was so relieved. It'll be a problem if my identity is exposed.
"All right, forget all this. Nah! Ren, I'm gonna scrub your whole body clean!"
The commander shouted like that and made my hair stand up. I quickly got out of the pool and ran quickly.
"I-I'm done! Bye bye!"
"She ran away."
