Overgeared

"I've been delayed. Then I will ask you to clean up the aftermath."

"Grid, take care. I think my life is over, so if you want to see me, go to the tower... Oof! Oof!"

Hayate exchanged a few more words with Grid before taking Biban away. He jumped silently and disappeared into the sky. It was such a mysterious sight that it eclipsed Biban's words. It felt more elegant in contrast to the martial god who stormed in and lost. It seemed they would never forget this for the rest of their lives.

"Forget everything you saw today."

...They would forget it.

"Yes."

People who weren't loyal to the Overgeared Kingdom were rare. Additionally, the people gathered here were the ones closest to Grid. If Grid wanted them to die, then they would die. If he wanted them to forget, then they would forget. The moment Mercedes took the lead and answered, the others took it as an example and copied her.

"......"

Piaro and the knights looked at Mercedes strangely. The girl Piaro had brought in when he was leader of the Red Knights—the knights vividly remembered her past before she grew up as a lady and became the king of knights. She was a pure and straightforward child. She was a lovely child in both talent and personality.

Now it was quite different. The cold voice and eyes when she told the martial god to shut up was completely imprinted on the minds of the knights. They thought about the situation at that time and once again got the chills.

"Captain, will that child be okay?"

"Um..."

Amelda asked anxiously and Piaro sank into thought. His expression wasn't comfortable. A courage and belief that didn't shrink back at all against the martial god. He was anxious that the moment when Mercedes' unique nature would put her into a crisis would surely come one day.

However, he wasn't in a position to advise her. Mercedes had done her duty. On the other hand, he failed to do his duty. Unlike Mercedes, he didn't go out to protect Grid even though he was Grid's messenger.

Of course, it wasn't just due to fear. He made a rational judgment. The situation at that time was when Hayate... no, it was just before the sword tower master and Zeratul collided. He thought that he would get in the way if he stepped forward hastily, thus he just watched.

It was definitely the right choice. However, Piaro wasn't happy. It was true that he had been intimidated by Zeratul. The moment when Sariel and Mercedes broke the curtain of sword energy, he was completely overwhelmed by Zeratul's presence. It wasn't just him. Everyone at the scene was the same. The only exception was Mercedes.

'I should've stepped up as well.'

It was purely an excuse that he didn't need to step up. He was actually scared. So what about Mercedes' personality that brought herself into a crisis? Why was that a problem? It was natural for knights and farmers to jump into a crisis for their master.

'I turned a blind eye to that natural duty...'
