◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
It was decided that I would rest until the prosthetic arm I ordered from the Dwarf Kingdom arrived.
My opinion wasn’t considered, but it was understandable.
After all, I was the injured one.
It was surprisingly common on the battlefield for the wounded to insist they were fine and then die from overexertion and I had absolutely no intention of dying from overexertion.
Maybe if I were just a regular mber…
But as the commander responsible for the Royal Knights, I had no intention of dying a pointless death.
The others also strongly recomnded that I rest, and I accepted.
A strange sense of unease lingered in my mind, but I attributed it to the absence of my arm.
I originally had two, and now I only had one.
So, wouldn’t it be natural to feel a strange sense of discomfort?
For now, that was the only explanation I could co up with, but putting that aside… wasn’t this a bit too much?
I stared blankly at the object placed before .
It was a chair.
A chair commonly seen in this ga, but it had wheels attached to the bottom and a handle at the back.
“Isn’t this a wheelchair?”
“A wheelchair? In the Dwarf Kingdom, they call it a dical chair for patients.”
“I-I see. So that’s how they explain it.”
I cleared my throat and adjusted my tone.
I was so dumbfounded that my original way of speaking slipped out.
I had to maintain a dignified appearance, at least in front of the mbers.
But even so, sitting in this… No, my legs were fine.
I was only missing an arm, but for so reason, I couldn’t escape her grasp.
Cluna didn’t say anything.
She just stood behind the dical chair.
She looked at and smiled sweetly.
That alone was enough to create imnse pressure.
In the end, the only choice I had was to sit in the chair.
As I sat down, Cluna positioned herself behind it and began pushing.
For so reason, I felt a wave of disillusionnt.
“Cluna, do I really have to do this?”
“Is there a problem?”
“I’m fine. I can walk on my own two legs.”
“I’ve seen many people like you.”
“…”
“And most of them didn’t end well.”
Her voice, carrying the weight of ti far exceeding the weight of being a commander, forced to sit quietly.
Let’s think positively.
It’s quite comfortable, right?
“Do you have so business here, Ruby?”
“Oh, you caught .”
“Ruby?”
“Yes, she’s been following us.”
“Why would you do that?”
Cluna spoke as she turned around.
Ruby, who had been hiding behind her, slowly walked out.
I was surprised.
I hadn’t noticed her at all.
Where was she hiding?
While I was speechless in shock, Cluna interrogated Ruby fiercely.
So fiercely that I was twice as surprised.
I looked at Cluna and said,
“Cluna, that’s too much.”
“I apologize.”
“I understand.”
“Yes, Ruby. Why were you looking for ?”
“It’s nothing~!!”
Ruby left those words behind and disappeared into the distance.
Completely clueless, I could only tilt my head.
anwhile, Cluna followed her retreating figure with a strange look in her eyes.
“Cluna? What’s wrong?”
“Oh, I apologize for my rudeness, Commander.”
“It wasn’t rude.”
“Thank you, Commander.”
The place I arrived at with Cluna was the Table of Equality.
The round table, created with the intention of uniting all races for a common cause on the day the Royal Knights were founded…
It was now being used as a conference room and Yuren was gently stroking the round table.
Just as I was about to turn back, thinking that I might be interrupting her…
“Commander, is that you? And Cluna as well.”
“I’m just taking a walk to clear my head.”
“I see, walks are important. Especially considering your injury, Commander.”
“…Yuren, what were you doing here?”
It was true that my injury was serious, but it was embarrassing to be the center of attention like this.
Especially since I had traded my arm as a price.
I didn’t lose it in battle.
“I was just reminiscing about the past.”
“About the ti the Royal Knights were founded?”
“Yes, back then, everyone joined forces for a common cause.”
“…”
The demon invasion had begun in earnest, but they didn’t respond imdiately.
Because they didn’t get along.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend…
They had simply watched from afar as their enemies were attacked by the demons.
However, they soon realized their mistake.
The demons pushed them back with overwhelming force.
The human empire and nurous kingdoms fell.
So races were even destroyed or absorbed by the demons.
At least until the Royal Knights were founded, they were continuously pushed back.
“Back then, everyone joined forces to survive. I’m proud to have beco the commander of the Royal Knights.”
“I’m sure you are.”
“But if you ask whether I acted correctly… I wouldn’t be able to give you a definite answer.”
“Because they were annihilated?”
“Yes, and because I couldn’t unite everyone.”
The Royal Knights in their pri had wielded enough power to defend their territory against the true demons and Blood Demons.
However, they had failed to prevent the discord between the races.
Of course, it was cruel to place all the bla on Yuren, the commander, but she wasn’t completely free of responsibility either.
After all, the Royal Knights had been annihilated.
“I think about it every ti. Did I do the right thing?”
And as an aftereffect, the division between the races deepened, and in the future, except for a small amount of territory, everything fell into the hands of the demons.
The rest depended on the player’s capabilities…
But if the player lacked the ability, or if there was no player at all, the continent would eventually be overtaken by demons and beco a second demon realm.
The demons’ objective was to turn this place into a demon realm.
At least that was the setting revealed in the ga.
However, I had realized sothing through my recent battle with Blood Demon.
Even I, a veteran player, didn’t know everything about the setting of this world.
For example, Blood Demon.
For so reason, he didn’t appear in the original ga.
The third-ranking true demon was a different demon.
Then, there were two possibilities.
Either Blood Demon had died before that…
Or he had been purged by his fellow demons.
I berated myself for my complacency.
Just because I knew everything about the ga didn’t an I knew everything about this world.
I had to focus more on gathering information from now on.
For myself and for the mbers of the Royal Knights.
However, the demons wouldn’t be making any direct moves for a while.
The war with the Royal Knights, followed by the defeat of the three true demons… the demons had also been severely weakened by the continuous fighting.
“Nothing in this world is perfect, unless you’re a god.”
“Is that so.”
“Yes, that’s why we live our lives by piecing together our own missing pieces.”
“…As expected, the role of commander suits you best.”
“You flatter .”
Yuren chuckled and looked at .
I felt a slight sense of discomfort from her appearance.
She seed to have been thinking sothing else.
Strangely, I couldn’t rember.
“Hmm, you said you were taking a walk? Can I join you?”
“I think I’m good on my own.”
“If the commander refuses, I’ll have no choice but to turn back.”
“It’s just a walk. One more person won’t hurt.”
“Yes, so you can co out now.”
Soone soon erged from where Yuren was looking.
It was Ruby.
Ruby again?
Co to think of it, Cluna had asked Ruby who she was following…

); }
“Were you following ?”
“N-no! I was escorting you!”
“If you’re going to escort , just stay by my side. That’s the best.”
“I-if you insist… I guess I have no choice.”
For a mont, Cluna glared at Ruby with a sharp look, but Ruby didn’t seem to care and imdiately clung to my side.
Yuren tried to pull Ruby away, but she wouldn’t budge.
“Let go. You’re making the commander uncomfortable.”
“No! I’m never letting go!”
“Why are you so anxious?”
“Because I only have one left now.”
“O-oh… okay.”
For a brief mont, it felt like Ruby’s eyes had flashed red.
But now they were back to their original color.
Was it my imagination?
No, it was too intense to dismiss as an illusion…
“What?! Why is everyone gathered here without us?!”
“Teacher, is your wound alright?”
“D-don’t overexert yourself! I-I-I’ll help you!”
“It’s getting lively.”
“Okay, that’s enough. You’re bothering the commander.”
For so reason, they all seed to know where I was and started gathering here.
anwhile, Cluna began to stop them.
Anyway… it was a relief to see everyone healthy.
