Chapter 71 - The Light of Love
"Oh... what a beautiful light... Such a beautiful light... existed in this world..."
I feel the blue light shining on the battlefield with a fascinating expression on my face.
Now, on that battlefield, "love" is just the light that is manifesting in this world...
His homunculus soldiers are fighting desperately, using vulnerable equipment, and moving their injured bodies.
Those who fight desperately have only one common purpose.
What is their purpose?
Do they fight for the victory of the friendly army?
Do they fight for the victory of the nation?
Do they fight for the peaceful life of the people who live after the home front?
No, totally different.
They are not fighting for such a "not going down" purpose.
So, what is the reason they fight?
It's simple.
It's simple and pure, and in a way even mysterious.
Yes...
They have but one purpose...
"It's to protect a single boy! (1)
"Their feelings shine even through the death of battle! (2)
"Love yourself! And the boy I love!!!
"I wish I could live longer even for a second! They are happy to give their lives!
"That's why! Even in front of an overwhelming large army, they do not take a step!
"I don't even look back!!!
"Forward!!! Forward!!! Forward!!!
"Stop it! Stop it!!!
"Don't let me go any further!!!
"You can be alone!!! (3)
"You need but a single arm!!!
"You need but a single finger!!!
"Give your life!!!
"Wear down the enemy's strength! Even just a little!!! (4)
"That's it!!! Only these thoughts dominate their simple brain!!!
"When a homunculus soldier with a cane is blown away!
"A homunculus soldier without a cane picks up a red-hot cane and continues the battle!
"A homunculus soldier whose arm was blown away!!! A suicide attack is being carried out while leaking body fluids!!!
"The homunculus soldiers lurk in the trench! They jump out of the trench and hug the enemy human soldiers!!!
"Enemy human soldiers are embraced by homunculus soldiers! The expression of despair is fleeting!
"The face of such an enemy soldier! View it with a big smile and satisfaction!!! They became blue light!!! (5)
"The battle continues! The battle that seems to be eternal continues!
"Yet, the longer the battle goes on, the stronger they get!!!
"Why is that!?
"It's because they knew!!!
"They knew that the boy was running and shedding tears!!!
"The boy who saw the blue light!!! When I learned that, tears flooded from my eyes!!!
"The homunculus soldiers who saw it were even more excited!!!
"They are completely unmatched!!!
"It's because they knew...
"They understood from the bottom of their hearts!!!
"This boy will cry for us!!!
"This boy will be sad for us!!!
"The homunculus soldiers who understood fought! They fought like hell!!! (6)
"They already have far surpassed the specs given by the Republic of Sages!!! (7)
"Being so injured, it wouldn't be strange to stop functioning! Yet, they never stopped!
"Damaged by battle! Even exposing their core, their magic stone, crackling with sparks!!! Despite it, they continue to fight!!!
"That's it!!! That's right!!!
"This is it! This is the power of love! It's the power of bonds!
"Ah ah!!!
"Also!!! After all!!! I wasn't wrong!!!
"He'll definitely accomplish it!!!
"The mistakes made by the archaic humans!!! He must avoid it!!!
"To him! There is such power!!!
"On his little shoulder! The future of new humans and homunculus is at stake!!!
"Here we go! Run! Run!
"Even if your lungs break!
"Even if your legs bend!
"Keep running! Continue to run away! And survive this hell!
"Stay alive! Live! Survive!
"And new humanity! Homunculus! You! Guide me!" (8)
I feel the battle with a big smile.
I dance and sing to the battle as if I were crazy.
A woman in a maid outfit keeps quietly watching over me in such an excited state.
She kept watching me quietly, with her compassionate eyes.

E/N:
(1) Start of dialogue.
(2) Added for flow.
(3) If it's confusing, I believe the observer is speaking to the homunculus and the soldier boy.
(4) Originally Shave!!! Shave!!! I thought it made more sense like this.
(5) The blue light is probably referring to a kamikaze explosion.
(6) Originally, it was 'like a demon lord.
(7) It translated as Sage's country, but I'll follow the previous translation.
(8) End of dialogue.
