“Shut up!”

With a roar, almost as if an oversized bell had been rung, my body was blown away.

(T-that was… too fast…!)

The moment I thought of falling off the train, I felt pressure on my back. Caules, who had been 'reinforced' in advance, had been able to catch me. However, this meant that there was no one left to protect Master.

“Master!”

With my entire strength, I jumped.

Faker's blade swung down towards Master's brain.

"It is because you yourself hate the 'Ionioi Hetairoi'...!"

Possibly, those words momentarily slowed the sword of the female Heroic Spirit.

To seize that one moment, I threw Add in the greatshield form. The crash of lightning explodes the entire rooftop. A ricocheting Add flew back to me, drawn by my magical energy. Master was thrown back from the other side of the rising dust, and his body stopped halfway across the train.
