Continuity is the Father of Magical Power

If I had dropped off kings, popes, emperors, etc., it would have been two days since the Troika.

We have five days left before the war begins, and we need to hurry and get ready.

"Shall we start a meeting, then? Mr. Flair, please proceed."

The meeting began and Mr. Flair, whose recent proposal to Stan was rumored to be on Murdine territory, was asked to moderate.

Is the rumor true? I always take care of Mr. Flair, and I hope he's happy soon.

"Got it. Firstly, about the defensive battle near the western border...... Are you sure you're alone?

Whoa, we need to focus on the meeting.

I immediately changed my mind and answered Mr Flair's question.

"Yeah. Well, don't worry, it's a golem to fight. Don't worry, I'm in the safe zone."

How many times has this explanation been given?

Well, on second thought, when the enemy is most energetic, is the Lord trying to fight alone or anyone trying to stop him?

But I can't help it because this keeps the damage down the least.

"Okay. So you confirm the enemy's strength and weapons, right?

"Right. It would be perfect if we could even destroy a siege weapon... but Kate's skills are a pain in the ass."

Because of the shield of light, you won't be able to break one for sure.

Maybe all siege weapons will be protected by that one.

He's a real pain in the ass.

"Suppose... After all, we just have to aim for the alarming moments on the move"

"Yeah. Just letting everyone know as soon as you encounter a brave man. Take care never to fight one-on-one."

Kite has always been a protagonist.

When combined with the skills you have now, it will be hard to fight alone even in Herman and Alma.

"Okay. And along the way, the Forsters will be able to stop the kingdom."

"Right. But maybe we won't make it."

Originally, I didn't expect the war to start so soon.

Even as early as possible, it seems three or four weeks after Fathers' troops arrive.

I probably don't feel like I'm gonna make it.

"Huh? Then what do you do?

"Looks like the Emperor's Special Forces will take it on. There's nothing wrong with them."

"That's true...... what do you do with the escorts in Imperial City?

"My uncles seem to be staying, so they don't have to worry."

Well, that's what the emperor says, so let's keep it sweet.

I can't believe we're doing this all because the boulders can't.

"Really..."

"So, at the end of the day, we're talking about defense here."

This is a battle in Murdine territory. I have to work hard in the fight before that because it doesn't make the fight here as big as possible, but I have to assume it will be somewhat bigger.

"It will be two or three weeks before the kingdom can arrive here from the start of the war, and a month away if it fails."

"Yes, if you pull any longer, you'll have to withdraw the Royalists"

Because you won't even be able to procure enough food in that rough land.

Precisely, a month would be their limit, considering the minute you return.

"Well, I guess not..."

It's about that stupid king. Don't even think about going home. They'll come in.

You're not going to lose.

"In the meantime, magic should dominate when it's a defensive battle here. Or it's better to think it's a real emergency that the knights' turn comes around"

I don't think we can climb that wall, so we shouldn't be able to fight in close proximity without the enemy inside.

Things are only counting down to losing anymore when the enemy comes inside.

"Right. Let's hope Stan and them work."

"Right."

I snorted heavily at Bernort's words.

I made him snort, but I wasn't that confident in my heart.

Just launched a magic unit...... you're a little anxious.

I just graduated and I'm inexperienced, and most importantly, I'm low on numbers.

It's so subtle as to have enough firepower to defeat all the soldiers in the kingdom.

Worst case scenario, I might have to work as a magic unit, too.

"And what's going on with the Boardrail family supply unit?

"With the wars notified, we started moving. Originally, the base is complete, so I don't see any particular problem."

"Copy that. The longer the battle, the better for us, so we need them to work hard."

Breaking their hearts is one tactic.

If your opponent doesn't have a siege weapon, you won't have to force your magic unit to do it, or reduce the number of jives and opponents.

"Right."

"I guess that's all you want to hear from me. Anyone else want to check?

Everyone shook their faces to the side of my inquiry.

Well, it was just a meeting to make sure it was originally decided.

"Well, let's keep it around here today. Keep your English for the war, respectively. I'll be busy in five days."

It's my last vacation before the war. I want each one of you to rest tight.

I said, "What am I gonna do until the operation starts?"

I've been so busy that I've forgotten how to spend my vacation.

What were you doing in your spare time before? Yeah......

"For the first time in a long time, why don't you take your time with the Shelleys?

When I was worried, Bell taught me to thank you.

"Well, that's best, isn't it? Where is everybody?

"I think I'm in Shelley's room"

"Well, let's get going."

When has it been possible to slow down with everyone?

"Ah, Leo. Is the meeting over?

When I entered Shelley's room, Shelley, Leena and Lou had all four Elsies.

"Yeah. It didn't take that long to reconfirm what was originally decided."

"That's right..."

"Shelly already told you to smile, didn't she?

As Shelley looked sad, Lou, who was next door, glued Shelley's cheek together.

I can't believe when Lou pays attention to Shelly......

"Oh, yeah. Hehe..."

"He said you don't have to do that. It's okay, we're not gonna lose."

I gently stroked Shelly's head, who was forced to laugh.

Then, Shelly couldn't stand it anymore, she hugged me and started crying.

"Leo......"

"Hehe. That's why I told you."

"Ah, Elsie. Has the Chamber of Commerce been notified of the war?

"Yes. Even so, I think it's okay for people who do business here not to do that,"

"I may be... For once, just the shape."

This city is made up of merchants, so you can't just ignore it, can you?

"Right. Oh, and the members of the Chamber of Commerce are calling out for financial and material assistance."

"Really? That's surprising..."

I thought the merchants were watching. Because it's not weird if someone betrays you or comes out.

"No, I think it's the result of taking proper account of the loss. For a merchant, if you put this place under the jurisdiction of the kingdom, it would be very difficult."

Sure, considering we can impose heavy taxes on the kingdom, do we get to our side?

"I see. Well, I'll take what I can get."

"Yes, I think that's a good idea"

"Hey...... not if I join the war too?

"Yes?"

I stopped crying. Shelly told me there was no clapping, and I overheard.

No, what do you mean?

"My magic... I think it will definitely help"

"No, but..."

"I know it's dangerous. But I also want to be as powerful as I can be."

……

What's the right answer to this?

Given the lack of firepower in the magic unit, Shelley's participation would be greatly appreciated... but you're more than willing to do anything dangerous.

"Hey, please! I don't like being just protected this time! I try the dungeon every day and I get really strong... so..."

I know. That Shelley wanted to help me and she was trying to be strong.

Uh. What do I do?

"Yeah...... ok. Instead, that Lou is always by his side. Running away as soon as it becomes dangerous"

Are you okay...... With Lou, you should be fine... but, uhh, I'm so anxious.

That said, Sherry's magic should make defense a lot easier.

"Huh? Am I good to fight too!?

"No... because Lou can't stand out on boulders. You can fight Shelly if she's in danger, but until then, stay quiet."

It is ruthlessly troublesome to find out the existence of the Demon Nation. If you do poorly, the Patriarchate will turn to its enemies as well.

"Yes...... ok"

I stroked Lou's head with an unfortunate face.

As for Lou, you don't have to worry about anything.

'Cause you're stronger than me.

"And let's get a hooded robe for both of us so we don't stand out"

Of course, it's the robe that I created magic to boost my defenses to the extreme.

"Thanks, and I'm sorry I couldn't say"

"You don't have to worry about it. In fact, it's true that I was worried about the firepower of the magic unit."

"Yes."

"Leena and Elsie, what about Bell?

"I... want to turn to the recovery squad. I can only heal the wounds."

"What are you talking about? Isn't that amazing enough? With Leena, the soldiers can fight without fear of injury."

That's what I said, I hugged Leena.

Nothing, fighting isn't the only way to help.

"Oh, thank you"

"What about Elsie?

"I can't... fight, so I'm going to be in Operations."

"Please. I can't move the funds in this territory without Elsie."

Elsie is Muldeen's treasurer.

When it comes to money, Elsie has more authority than I do.

Even without me for a few weeks, running this territory would be fine with Elsie and Mr. Flair.

"Thank you"

"What about Bell?

"Of course, I'll always be beside Master Leo."

"Ever?"

All this time, does that mean you're going to get to the western border?

"Yes."

"It's dangerous...?

"Isn't that the same for Master Leo?

"Yes, but..."

Belle, you know I can't argue with you before you tell everyone you're safe.

Boulder, you just know how I treat you best.

"It's okay. Even so, I'm the third strongest in this territory, right?

"Number three? You mean Herman and Alma's next strongest?

"No. Dear Leo, I mean Mr. Lou's next strongest"

"What? No, even though I say I'm challenging the dungeons with the Shelleys, they're usually mostly beside me..."

Originally, I know the bell was strong, but that was because it was higher level than the others...

"I'm not lying. I think you can fight Lou if you mean it."

"No, to the boulder..."

That's a lie to a boulder. 'Cause it's that Lou, right?

Looking at Lou with that in mind, Lou shook his face sideways with a laugh.

"It's true. I can't follow Bell with my eyes."

"That look?

"Well, don't tell Master Leo too much about that because it's embarrassing"

When I tried to ask Bell, for some reason Bell was shy and hiding his ears and face with his hands.

No, I'm extra concerned.

"Yes, sir. But that's how I'm not shy of reporting it, so I don't think Leo can believe me. I think you look good, don't you?

You look good?

"I may be... but I'm ashamed of what I'm ashamed of!

Embarrassing and cool...... I can't imagine.

"Fair enough, okay. Then ask Belle to escort me."

Well, it's the usual thing for Bell to be beside you, okay?

If you need anything, I can protect you.

"Okay. Leave it to me."

"Yeah. Please."

"Oh, Leo's really sweet on Belle, isn't he?"

That's... undeniable.

"It seems to be hereditary. Because it seems that the brave man was too sweet for the beast man's maid to ever become a training ground with the magician."

"That happened, didn't it? Well, nobility cheats on maids is something I hear a lot, so I don't think it means the brave ones are particularly bad."

"Heh. Is it common to cheat on a maid?

"Right. Nobles cheat on boulders and cheat on each other because they have high hurdles. And if you're going to cheat, I guess it's better that you still know who you're dealing with. Positively, a woman can't speak to a man unless she's as strong as a wizard."

"Is that what you mean..."

Sure, it's hard for your wife to complain because the power is really on the man.

"Leo cheats?

"No, no, no! I have such a lovely wife, I can't cheat on her."

Five eyes scared me, and I denied it with all my might.

Well, my maid's the only one, so I can't have an affair with a maid in the first place.

"Well, it's weird to think about it normally and have more fiancées so far"

"Oh, that's..."

I have that awareness. But I don't regret it.

"Well, isn't that good? Because that's how Leo made us a family."

"Well, yes..."

"Besides, if the war is over and you can have some time, I'm sure Leo will take a glance at your time with us. Right, Leo?

"Also, of course. Yeah, we'll take a trip when we get settled."

So they're all scared. Because you don't have to worry. I have a good idea.

"Is it a trip? That's good."

"Where are you going?

"Patriarchate"

"Ah..."

"And I'd like to go to the kingdom of the Beasts."

"Huh?"

"Two hometown tours? That's very good. I'm looking forward to it."

Yes. It's Leena and Bell's hometown tour.

I've wanted to go for a long time.

"For that matter, we have to win at all costs."

Serving one pleasure to my chest, I inspired myself towards war.

But let me just sweeten you up a little bit.
