◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

I was screwed.

I had sworn that if nothing else, I wouldn’t use violence, but the situation was so urgent that my hand rose before I knew it.

Damn it.

I hoped no one had seen, but unfortunately, everyone was looking this way.

How did they see it when we were in the middle of battle?

No, no, I needed to move carefully here.

Whatever the case, using violence against an ally was wrong.

Especially for a knighthood…

Our job was to fight on the front lines with weapons in hand.

In such a situation, if there were bad feelings, we might end up fragging each other if we were not careful.

Damn it.

Of course, fragging didn’t happen easily in situations like this.

For one, the Royal Knights had completely fallen apart, and everyone’s confidence was low.

But that didn’t mean we could treat them carelessly.

What if they suddenly got upset and attacked?

I desperately racked my brain.

How could I explain this?

“I’m sorry, Commander. My thinking was short-sighted.”

In that brief moment of confusion, Ruby apologized first.

Thanks to that, I found myself nodding before I knew it.

But that was not right, I was the one who did wrong.

However, before I could speak, or more precisely, while I was organizing my thoughts, Ruby ran forward without looking back.

There was no hesitation in her appearance.

No, please.

Hesitate a little before running off!!

I was shocked and tried to follow, but I couldn’t.

Because time stop was on cooldown.

So I chased after her hard, but in the end, I couldn’t catch up.

Meanwhile, Ruby, who had closed in instantly, swung her hammer.

Her hammer struck its head like a bolt from the blue.

[Kieeeeeeek!!!]

It let out an unpleasant sound like a strange bird and flapped its wings.

Those wings didn’t seem that fast when viewed from afar, but Ruby couldn’t dodge them.

Damn, do I have to save her again?

Just as I was thinking that, suddenly someone blocked my path.

It was Commander Yuren.

I shouted at Yuren.

“What are you doing?”

“Calm down, Commander. I understand your concern.”

“Then get out of the way.”

“Didn’t you say it yourself? To trust in our members.”

“?”

Well, that was true, but still, when it was clear she was about to die It was not right to just stand by and watch from afar!

I was about to strongly retort, as this time she could really die.

That is, until I saw Ruby driving Balak back with my own eyes.

Ruby’s hammer struck Balak’s head.

From that massive impact, Balak’s body began to stagger greatly.

“Huh?”

“It seems she’s finally warmed up a bit.”

“Warmed up?”

“Ruby and Clara are undisputed members of the Royal Knights. Even if they’re low-ranking…”

“…”

“I accepted them despite their slight lack of skill because I saw their potential for growth.”

Commander Yuren spoke proudly with her arms crossed.

The problem was that I didn’t know much about the situation back then, but the atmosphere wasn’t bad, so I just quietly watched.

Ruby was fighting much better than I had thought.

Especially since Balak’s most frightening aspect was that it was very difficult to predict his attacks because he had no presence even when right in front of you.

Ruby was blocking Balak’s attacks far too easily.

Was that possible? Or did she realize something while fighting?

Anyway, from my position, this was an extremely advantageous situation.

Just as I was thinking it wasn’t bad, this time its tail shot up from the ground.

It seemed that as she started to react somewhat, this time it had concealed itself and attacked again.

But Ruby blocked this attack without much difficulty too.

Rather, crushed by Ruby’s hammer, Balak’s tail was completely shattered.

Balak let out a great scream.

How could she fight so well?

I had slight doubts, however, I soon could see it.

The flames wrapped around Ruby’s body as if protecting her.

I tilted my head.

“Is that…?”

“So the Commander knew as well.”

“Huh?”

“Ruby hasn’t been able to properly exert her power until now.”

“???”

Commander Yuren suddenly started talking on her own, but of course, I didn’t know, so I quietly listened to Commander Yuren’s explanation.

Commander Yuren said,

“It was probably more of a mental issue. The memories of her past were weighing her down.”

“You mean trauma?”

“Yes, but now Ruby is trying to overcome it.”

Hmm, I see.

I don’t understand a word of what you’re saying.

To Ruby, family meant only one person.

That was her mother, but there was a time when she had recognized her father as family too.

Though he was busy and couldn’t play with her often back then.

Still, she thought it was for the family, for the clan, rather, Ruby didn’t like her mother much at that time.

Because her mother’s way of speaking was very strange.

[Ruby! Where have you been until now?!]

[Oh, please. Can’t you do something about that way of speaking?]

[S-Sorry about that.]

Even to young Ruby, her mother’s way of speaking was somehow strange.

In fact, her mother was a little… no, very sick.

More precisely, it wasn’t her body that was sick, but there was a slight problem with her mind.

To make matters worse, she had been imitating the way of speaking of a childhood friend until now, and because she couldn’t recognize that it was wrong, her mother had continued to use that childish way of speaking.

Ruby hated that.

She was embarrassed when others heard her mother’s way of speaking and were bewildered.

So she always grumbled at her mother and that became something she regretted continuously until now.

That day too was a day when she was sleeping as usual.

But while she was sleeping soundly, suddenly someone woke Ruby up.

When she finally came to her senses, the person who had woken her from sleep was her mother.

[Ruby, Ruby. Wake up quickly.]

[What is it suddenly…]

[We need to get out of here quickly.]

Thinking about it now, Ruby’s mother could have escaped sufficiently.

If she had abandoned her daughter who ignored and looked down on her, then she could have survived, but her mother didn’t do that.

That was a question for Ruby herself too.

Wasn’t she the daughter of that trash?

But was there a need to risk her own life to save her?

That thought kept circling in her head.

To explain the result, the desperate escape Ruby’s mother had planned was discovered and it wasn’t because of any other problem, but because of Ruby herself.

It was when they were hiding to avoid patrols.

Ruby and her mother were hiding in a warehouse, when suddenly there was a loud bang, and Ruby, startled by it, unknowingly screamed.

Because of that, they were discovered by them.

Ruby, still young, was immediately subdued by force, but her mother, from where such strength came, used force to push away all the knights who had come to catch them.

Even then, she could have escaped.

If one of the knights hadn’t taken Ruby hostage, that is.

Then, she gave up resistance far too easily and so she was bound.

[Ruby, you must live. Survive somehow.]

[Mom? Why? Where are you going?]

[I’m just going to see Dad for a moment. It’s nothing.]

That was the last sight Ruby saw.

What Ruby, freed from her bonds, could see was that trash of a person who didn’t even seem human, gazing ecstatically at the sword he had made.

Was it because of her dwarven senses? Or because she was her mother’s daughter?

Ruby could instinctively sense it.

That her mother had become the sword that trash was holding now.

That she had passed away.

Death.

She had never felt the reality of that word so keenly before.

Unable to meet her again, unable to hear her voice, destined to never to meet again.

At that young age, Ruby realized the weight of death.

Only then could Ruby finally realize how much she had loved her mother.

Even if just once, she wanted to hear her mother’s voice.

That wish eventually became a terrible hatred.

From that day on, she thought of only one thing.

); }

To kill that person called father, that trash.

She had come this far looking only at that one thing.

But… was that all? Did it end with just killing him?

…No.

At least, she wanted to hear the reason.

Why he went that far, whether they meant nothing to him.

Was that why?

Before she knew it, Ruby was imitating her mother’s way of speaking.

It didn’t matter if others thought it was silly.

It was just that, if she didn’t do this, it felt like her mother would be forgotten as just a memory of the past, so, in order not to forget her mother, Ruby chose this path.

Soon, hot flames rose from Ruby’s hammer.

As if responding to her will reigniting.

They were hot, scorchingly so.
