A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 116: We need to prepare for a mock battle (Alice, ed.). Now is it time?
Alice was back in her bedroom after tea time in the guest room after breakfast.
Takeo seems to have just gone to the study and left the mansion.
"Hmm..."
Alice was troubled.
"Today's mock fight... Master Takeo must be in the style of taking my sword and making a ski and attacking it, as in the battle with the previous platoon captain..."
So I worry... "Really?
... draft coat. Find out the true value of a small gun that nobody sees. Win over our platoon captain opponent, think about revitalizing the city and village, and understand the mood of others. Extensive knowledge of cooking and bed... with the knowledge to be a wise man.
Again, maybe I got engaged to someone amazing? and niggling.
And now I have to think about mock warfare...
I don't know.
All I know is, "Absolutely, we don't bump swords that are normally called mock warfare".
I unconsciously "strengthen my body" and "strengthen my weapon" with compulsory correction of the demonic eye. That's pretty powerful, too.
In other words, that's the only specification I can do and I can't do any other magic at all.
All you have to do is fight off the methods of war.
That's in front of Master Takeo in the last big exercise.
By contrast, I have not seen the battle of Master Takeo... only reported.
This difference looks great... Master Takeo will have measures in place for me.
You just have to think about it.
After thinking, Alice abandons her thoughts.
And he went to put on a full plate of deep red.
------------------------
It will be almost noon. Time.
Takeo was sitting in the front seat at the corner of the exercise area.
After the magic store, he was shooting a small gun in the exercise area.
The bullet also shot to some extent, making the rest of the time meditation time.
Takeo, not knowing Zen, was in the athletics department when he was a student, so his pre-game meditation was better.
Takeo's meditation was a simple thing to think about.
It's easy with the words "I don't think about anything" but if I'm not used to it, I surprisingly think about something extra.
After a long time of meditation, quite a bit of clutter turned my head at first.
But I used to do it, gradually not thinking about anything but my own breathing, and now I wasn't thinking about anything.
And, the 6: 00 section bell rings.
"It felt good right now.
And while I laugh bitterly, I get up.
My leg seems to be paralyzed and I find it a little difficult to get up, but I stand with a small gun instead of a cane and check my outfit.
Trench coat belt tightening, hip knife, small gun, magic ring, leather finger stamp bag, that's it.
It ends easily.
"Well, it's about time..."
Takeo shrugged as he looked at the castle gate.
------------------------
A good number of soldiers were also gathered in the exercise area at some point.
Each one sat or stood and waited for the moment.
"Takeo, here we are.
Harold, the Knight Commander, came with Alice.
By the way, Alice had left her helmet in the mansion.
Takeo was pointing in a different direction from the castle gate, but nodded towards Harold.
"... well.
Harold saw Takeo's face and thought of something, he didn't say any more.
Alice stands in front of Takeo.
"Huh?"
I stood up, but I'm surprised to see Takeo.
Usually against Alice, are you smiling or laughing bitterly...
Alice always had the image of laughing with pleasure.
This mock fight also says, "Well, do you want to do it?" I thought he was going to smile and say.
But... right now, I didn't know joy and sorrow from the tacheo in front of me.
I don't know emotions from my expression, my body is out of strength, and I'm looking at this one in nature.
You say you're temperamental... or seriously staring at this one.
I never saw a Takeo like this.
For Alice, Takeo was scared right now.
"Did the squad captains who fought Master Takeo feel this way, too?
Alice remembers the soldiers who thought about it and fought during it.
I was very nervous. I guess it's a "fear" emotion... and it caught my face.
That's enough to tell at first sight.
And the movement from the tension was monotonous.
"This... how am I supposed to fight?
and Alice starts to have a little trouble.
------------------------
"Well... and.
Miss Alice, Takeo, you look ready.
"Yeah."
And Alice answers, Takeo nods.
"The rules are simple. When I say 'start', it starts, when I say 'stop', it's over.
It's strictly forbidden to take lives... that's all, but what do you got?
"Nothing, is it?
And Alice answers, Takeo shakes his head.
"Then, until the start signal, take the distance and wait.
Takeo turns his back away from Alice at the same time as the words.
and about 15 m away to Alice.
Harold also takes a distance from the two of them.
In the meantime, the exercise area becomes more tense.
------------------------
"Start!!!
Takeo with the decree puts his left hand around him, small in the middle with Alice but fogging and making each other invisible.
Alice sets herself up to be able to shake the sword she holds with both hands at any time wondering if Takeo will pierce her.
The moment the fog clears, Alice is stunned when she confirms Takeo's appearance.
Takeo was crouching down and stood up for a small gun.
And the sound of "bread" echoed in the practice area.
