Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 50.1

The fact that the young lady experienced fear, that Al was injured and lost consciousness, and that Lady Diana was flustered—all of it could have been prevented if I had been more vigilant.

I know the young lady is in a special position. I could sense it even more through the reactions of the surrounding noble children after entering the academy. I also understood the power dynamics among the three count families.

I am here to protect the young lady as her knight, but I have decided never to change her by my own will.

If the young lady is in trouble, I will lend a hand. However, it is always up to her to make decisions.

The Kuzelia Count family is on good terms with the Emblam Count family. That fiancé.

Therefore, although I would have preferred not to deepen my relationship with Lady Diana or Al, my ignorance led me to become close with Al.

This unexpected event further troubled the young lady, and it was entirely my fault.

On that day, I felt painfully aware when Mr. Moose was disposed of by the master assassins that my small strength alone could not change anything.

Like Lady Diana, who protects the slums in front of the abandoned mine, or Al, who tries to uphold his will with the military backing, I am not capable of doing my best for everyone like they do.

Even so, there is something important that I must protect. Yet, I hesitated.

Ah… how infuriating. My own immaturity and the optimistic thought that everything would be alright make me want to hit myself immediately.

Switch from the skill 【Size Marionette】 to 【Shadow Walker】.

Store the returned Black Size and grasp Durandeis.

Geronbear, who is approaching slowly, looks down at me. That gaze――――

“So, that was your goal, huh? Still… you’re carrying something unimaginably heavy. Ha… I hate myself more and more. Do you understand, Geronbear-kun――yo!”

I give it my all.

Deploy the technique 【Shadow】, attaching several shadow threads to the ground, then accelerate rapidly to slash at Geronbear.

“Gyuuuuuaaaaaaa!”

It seems he feels pain since he has developed something like veins.

But he regenerates immediately.

Without ending here, I continue to attack with super-speed assaults centered around Geronbear using shadow threads, causing damage that surpasses his regeneration.

He swings his arms down at me like a flyswatter, but at that moment, only my afterimage remains.

An arm, a leg, losing his balance, and another leg.

Geronbear, gradually stopping his movements, creates a massive explosion around him in his struggle.

But all of it can be avoided by reacting.

Despite appearances, I am a timid person. I kept a shadow thread away from Lady Diana, just in case.

Geronbear’s regeneration speed has clearly slowed down.

There’s no reason to wait idly!

I close the distance rapidly with ultra-fast movement using shadow threads.

“Secret Technique 【Dark Night Six-Pointed Star】”

The massive figure that was standing divides into six parts and collapses.

So he remains as Geronbear.

At that moment, I saw the black wall slowly crumbling.

I hurried to the young lady.

“Young lady. Are you alright?”

“Beryl…?”

“It’s all over now. I apologize again for frightening you.”

The young lady desperately holds back her tears and shakes her head.

I gently stroke her head.

“Garuu”

“Mm…? Pochi. Is that true?”

“Gah!”

“…Thank you.”
