Din no Monshou (WN)

Episode 5: Are you ready?

The birth of a new king and the proclamation of war on a fateful empire.

The two were finished without delay, and the king's city was more vibrant than ever.

Mercenaries volunteering for the Front Line to name this plane.

Citizens returning home to escape the fire.

Different shapes, each of the kings began to swallow up the status quo.

When I returned to the Mansion, I told Walkins that a war with the Empire would begin.

"Is that still the case...."

When she heard my words, she sighed quietly.

Walkins seemed a little sentimental, but when he noticed my gaze, he smiled softly.

"Rest assured, when the blade is pointed at Regis, this Walkins will stand up and protect you."

"Thank you."

The word is a pleasure.

But I can't rely on Walkins forever.

I have to protect myself.

"Well, I'll protect that Walkins!"

Edgar is interrupting here.

After I heard that there were signs of a war, I volunteered to move as a force for the Dins.

Walkins giggles at her determination.

"Very comfortable, Edgar, as the battle will continue to be extreme."

"It's okay! I'm going to lay down under the Imperial Soldier's sword!"

Though he was an exhilarating Edgar, Walkins looked a little subtle in contrast.

Edgar, who would not have noticed the look on Walkins's face, peeked into the bottle from his pocket and said.

"Say, Mr. Walkins. Would you like to talk a little if you had time?I and Regis have a lot of free time. "

Don't leave me alone.

I've done all the training today, so I'm sure I have some leisure time.

Edgar and I didn't allow the slightest bit of cowardice I had left behind.

Nevertheless, it will sometimes take time for a graceful chat.

Especially in a situation like this.

Well, I'm fine, but is Walkins okay?

"Yes, I'm almost done with you today, so please join me."

"Gotcha!"

The atmosphere of Din's family, which was heavily sunk by the footsteps of the war.

The cry of Edgar's soul roared as if to blow them away.

◆ ◆ ◆

Cheering was a lie.

No, not exactly.

As soon as I started talking, Edgar even praised Walkins.

It can't be stopped anymore.

80% of Walkins, 10% of me, 10% of Edgar.

All of this was carried out by Edgar himself.

He's the only one who can talk.

But Walkins is also a reaction.Take Edgar's story with a strong push,

I was spreading the conversation smoothly.

"Fufu, speaking of which, Edgar and I have never fought together."

"No, I'm embarrassed.

I saw Walkins' bravery when she was a little girl I didn't know....

Mr. Walkins was very useful at that time!Slay down the batter and the enemy,

Crush the Imperial Army with a single blow!That's numb... ah, let's pour some wine, Mr. Walkins! "

"Please, play catchball for the conversation."

Edgar is in good shape because he also has alcohol.

"I have a last look around at midnight."

"Well, then, what should I do with the alcohol I've lost... in my belly, for sure!"

What is this, invincible?

When I was seven years old, I thought I could count on you more when I first met you.

As you get older, don't you get more and more irritated?It is also said that it is no good.

"Well, in short, I'd like to see Mr. Walkins stand up against the Imperial Army.

When will the war begin?Today or tomorrow? This Edgar is always ready. "

A month later.

In 29 days, to be exact.

But before this battle, Edgar seemed a lot excited.

For me, it was an event that I wanted to avoid with all my might.

"It's easy to say. Aren't you afraid of war?"

"What is Regis saying?I'm a former mercenary, right?

I earned it, I ate it, and I have what I am today. "

"You didn't think the money you earned would disappear for alcohol."

I tried to shake it a little, but it didn't sting.

Even the wars themselves are perceived positively.

Is a mercenary like this?

I've never noticed it before, but Edgar's stance surprises me again.

You wanted to sort out your feelings, I was talking unconscious.

"Edgar, war is about people dying?"

"Of course. If it wasn't war, people would die.War is just a bit of a chance. "

Yahee, the values are too different...

No, should I say I'm angry from the beginning?

Edgar looks at me with a cold sweat and tells me to come.

"Hmm? Regis, are you scared?"

……

The counter just flew in.

I tried to get over it in silence, but Edgar kept asking.

"Are you scared?"

"No... I'm sure you're scared."

For me, war was an event in a textbook.

I've had some trouble with my sister, but that's a kid's play.

A massive battle for people to kill - war.

I don't know how it feels, but I know that a lot of lives will be lost.

When you realize that, something like fear has never existed before.

Aren't Edgar scared?

"Fu, what have you decided?Of course I'm scared, too. "

"Are you scared?"

"Of course, but there's something more I want to protect than fear of dying.There's something I want to win.

That's why war happens, and that's why people fight. "

I thought it was a little cool.

If you're ready for this, you nod to that reaction.

But it's a very unlikely area for me.

Walkins clapped as he listened to Edgar.

"Mr. Edgar is very impressed.That's a former mercenary. "

"Walkins praised me!? I'm so happy!"

War.

Edgar sees things positively, and I'm the object of avoidance.

But what about Walkins?

If she doesn't have a clue, she might have a different answer.

You noticed my gaze, and Walkins smiled.

"But I'm close to Edgar, too."

Really? I'm surprised.

Walkins puts his hand on his chest and says it stings.

"I'm afraid of fighting and dying, but I can't break my knees.

This Walkins has something to protect.That's why I polish the blade to protect Regis. "

Regis, do you understand? This is a mercenary.

Edgar turns his arm around Walkins' shoulder sometime.

I ruined Walkins' good story.

With whose permission are we turning that hand?Isn't it too close?

And, uh...

Walkins is not a mercenary.

"Of course, but I think Mr. Walkins has served in the army somewhere."

It's not good.

Edgar, even I'm afraid to step on that Walkins space.

But Walkins leans his neck and reacts slowly.

Could... could this flow be heard normally?

Edgar asks me to stop while I measure the time.

I'll take a ride, too, in this way.

"It's a good way to sit on your liver... um, it's like a wartime general."

"I agree with that.What about you, Walkins? "

"What do you think, Mr. Walkins!?"

Edgar asks Walkins with his eyes shining.

But the next moment, Edgar had a look of fear.

――

"Hih!?"

Leave Walkins with the bottle wrapped in it.

Her eyes, looking at Edgar, had red and golden colors.

Red flags that do not allow you to step in. It's the usual one.

It's not like letting momentum sway with such sweet thoughts.

A few seconds later, Walkins shook his head sideways and smiled a little flirtatiously.

"This is the most serious thing I've ever heard."

"... su, su"

Edgar is trembling with his mouth slightly open.

I'm trying to say something, but it's not a word.

Walkins exhaled a little and inflated his cheeks.

"Both of you, now is the time to think about the coming battle.

I'm really glad you think about me, but I don't have time to think about people's past. "

"Wow, I'm sorry..."

The flow itself was a joke, but I never stood by Edgar's question.

I think there's nothing I can do about wanting to know Walkins' past.

But Edgar, who shared the same ambition,

"... hah, hah!"

She was hyperventilating and rolling around.

It's like seeing something incredible.

Walkins gently stroked her cheek and stood up.

"Night stays are bad for you.Please rest early today for both of you. "

"Ah, oh, good night."

Walkins thanked him and left the living room.

I suppose he went around at night.

I got too hot in the talk.When I noticed it, I was already turning the bedtime.

Walkins stroked Edgar to help him breathe.

She cried at me with great momentum. [M]

"Regis! Did I say something weird?!

I wonder if I made Mr. Walkins angry! "

"No, well, I do sometimes. That's what I'm talking about."

Edgar was as desperate as he was before the end of the world.

"If Mr. Walkins hates me, most of my life will be gone!"

"What's the other half?"

"You and alcohol!"

"If you have time to say something like a song in Showa, go to bed. It's bedtime."

I try to peel it off somehow, but it's falling down because I can't keep calm yet.

"Showa? What is Showa? Regis!"

"This is the most advanced history of our Heisei era. Go to sleep when you know it."

"No, I don't know, it's the history of a country.I can't sleep at night! "

"Go to sleep."

Regis, uhhhhhhhhhhhh

I wiped out the drunk monster and went back to my room.

When I fall into bed, the events of the last few months go over my head.

Delivering a tablet to the Alliance and forming an alliance.

Walkins found a new side on his way home.

An inexplicable incident in the Empire and Kingdom.

"And from now on....."

The coming battle, the coming war.

A struggle that will continue until one of the two countries is dead.

An overwhelming reality that I wanted to exist only in some fantasy.

I was going to do some fighting, but it's obviously different than before.

What am I afraid of?

Is it a blade or magic that will approach your throat?

Or are you saving the lives of many people?

Probably a mixture of both, no, more.

Don't think about it.

Still, it gushes up against your chest and sticks to your head.

"... damn, I can't sleep."

It doesn't seem easy to say that you're ready.

◆ ◆ ◆

--At the same time, in the Din family's house

"Cefina, hit me."

In the bedroom, Shadi Berga, sitting in his seat, murmured.

Cefina sitting nearby looks at her husband confused.

"... why?"

"Don't worry!"

"... um, bye."

While confused, Cefina starts to stretch her hand.

The momentum is full of hassle that seems to make a slightly light sound.

But there was a blow from Cefina who rang as a samurai.

The shocked Shadi Berga is taken horizontally.

Guhah

"... I tried to beat you first."

"Thank you."

Somehow they thanked me.

Though I thought it was masochistic, my husband's leopard gave Cefina a headache.

Could it be broken by the cage that I used to go to occasionally?

I wonder when it was caused by the cage.Have you done too much?Cefina thinks carefully.

Elsewhere worried about such a wife, Shadyberga trembled with a trap.

But it also reaches a critical point.Suddenly, it explodes the feelings that were accumulating.

"Regis! I didn't even give orders to serve when my dear son went to battle!

I said I'd go, but I said no! Even though I'm the main player! "

I punched myself in the bed with my own strength.

But it just makes a loud and weak sound.

I'm sorry, Cefina.

Shadi Berga laughs at herself.

"It is also because of me, who is thought to be weak to His Majesty and the nobility of the King's capital.

Someone had to try me. "

"... in fact, Shady is weak."

Cefina points out without wearing clothes on her teeth.

Then he sat next to Shadi Berga and stopped attacking the bed.

"... hahaha. I knew it, but it's hard to get caught up in."

Shadi Berga nodded without strength.

Are you susceptible to your own helplessness or despair?

But Cefina must have stopped me and finally regained my coolness.

I murmured seriously.

"--Your Majesty, the kingdom really does.War on that country. "

"... you know Shadi is where the kingdom is."

Kingdom.

A southern power that never meets the Empire.

A country that should have kept its peace with the outside world for decades.

But it was always in a straddling state.

"Yes, the kingdom is always full of kings and nobles.

But it's only in the kingdom... "

"... didn't you think there would be a war between nations?"

"Yeah, at least while we're alive."

"... I see."

The year Shadi Berga was born, the war near the border, the King's Bloodbath, ended.

After years of fighting, the border remained static, with only more dead and rough land.

As a result of exhaustion and damage to each other, the two countries knew the pain and the bard sang that they would not go to war for the next 100 years.

But 50 years after the battle.

A war of unparalleled magnitude begins.

"I'm thinking of minimizing the damage.

How can I protect Regis? "

"... can Shady do anything?"

"What I can do... what I can do..."

Fold your fingers in order, but whenever you realize it's impossible, your fingers return to their original position.

Then he stopped breaking his fingers and trembled his body with a trap.

"- No."

"... neither do I."

"How powerless!"

Shadiberga with his head in his arms.

My son was praised by the newly crowned queen.

He said he would go to battle as a general of a house with a government position.The father can do nothing for you.

I'm eating my teeth with remorse, but I haven't given up my eyes yet.

"Wait, it's too soon to get hurt in helplessness.I can still think desperately. "

What can I do for you?

I wonder what more we can do than put a small private soldier on our son.

I wonder if there is anything more to guarantee that the registry is safe.

After desperate thought, a light flashes.

"Yes, let's ask Alec!"

"... leave it to others?"

"Yes, I can leave it to others.I've thought about everything, but this is all I've got.

But there's nothing more we can do to protect the Regis and the people. "

The Four Wise Men of the Continent. Alexandria.

He taught magic to Regis and guided him through college and travels.

If she were to help us in this fight, would she be so comfortable?

"Alec said he didn't want to intervene in a power struggle on the continent.

But still, I have to ask you..... "

"... you seem to know Alexandria very well."

Cefina looks cool.

Shadi Berga shook his neck to the side.

"Chi, no, it's just a friend I used to know.You know Cefina, don't you? "

"... well..."

Sephina and Alexandria are acquaintances.

I'm going to know a little about her.

"... even I can tell. I'm sure Alexandria will help.

It doesn't have to be Shady. "

"You haven't decided yet whether to take a seat!?"

Will my husband sit down?Maybe, definitely.

Cefina had some certainty.

Shadi Berga sighed beside him.

"But I can't believe Alec promised to help Regis..."

"... I know. It's the same woman, not the same time she's been alive."

"I don't know."

"... hah, you're so dull."

"Stupid!?"

Shadiberga is amazed by pure cursing.

Cefina sighs small and stares at the door of the room.

"... Shady, I'll tell you something good.Hey, are you there? Won "

"Yes, here."

When I spoke beyond the door, a clear voice echoed.

Walkins' voice.

"Yeah!?"

"I was patrolling around.I was never listening. "

"That's what scares me even more!"

I don't know if it's true to go around, but it's bad for my heart.

When Cefina and Walkins teamed up, Shadi Berga was always taken by a handball.

However, when you're dealing with Cefina alone, it doesn't change.

Cefina narrowed her eyes and talked in unison.

"Wong, look closely at Regis."

"Sure, even if it's the life of this Walkins."

Immediate answer.

However, it was a resolute voice.

Cefina continued to ask.

"Do you need me on this battlefield?"

"No, it shouldn't happen to Cefina, who has just recovered.

And because I'm alone, Regis, I can concentrate and protect everything. "

"... nh, okay, I trust you."

He nodded and answered with satisfaction.

And speak kindly to the servant who walks around the routine in a healthy manner.

"Wong, you too go to sleep. Take care of your time."

"It's a waste of generosity... so sweeten your words."

Your voice is moving away.

Shadi Berga felt terrible about Walkins, who had no sign of him all along.

It's reliable to have an awesome Servant, but it's terrifying to turn to enemies.

I'm going to find out more than I like this Din's wife.

Cefina glances at Shadi Berga, who sweats cold.

"... that's what you're trying to do."

"Oh, that's what I was saying."

Walkins will definitely help Regis.

That's why Cefina didn't have to push it earlier.

Sephina wants to say that Alexandria and Regis are in the same situation.

Even if Shadi Berga doesn't bother, Alexandria will guide the Resis.

"But in that case, what we can really do..."

"Didn't I tell you?"

"... ku"

I managed to crush even the narrowed proposal.

It was a shady berga filled with powerlessness, but Cefina held her hand.

"... even if there's nothing new I can do, there's still something I can do."

"What do you mean?"

"... it's easy."

A little stronger in holding her husband's hand, Cefina told him to sing.

"Treat me as usual, spend time as usual, just a little special when I drop you off."

Regis will go to a harsh place from now on.

What can you do to him as a powerless parent?

"... so I can make you want to come back here.

It is our important job to create the daily life we want to return to. "

Say that and put your head on Shadi Berga's shoulder.

Gently stroking his head, Shadi Berga sighed and murmured.

"Really, it's not like Cefina."

Cefina, who has been suffering in the hospital bed for many years.

I should have had less time to get in touch with Regis than Shadi Berga did.

Somewhere fluffy, but still grasping the core.

That's Cefina Din.

My wife is so determined.

Don't let the principal face down.

Shadi Berga stares out the window.

Glowing stars illuminate the dark sky.

All we can do is spend our usual days.

Still, Shadi Berga thinks about it.

I don't want to regret it after everything is over.I always want to do my best.

That's why he prays.

God, Spirit, Four Wise.

May peace and security be brought to the registry.

◆ ◆ ◆

Someone looked up at the sky tonight.

Two polar stars shine in the night dominating sky.

I'm going to hit the stars that dominate this sky.

But people still don't notice.

Between the two stars, the red and miserable stars shine.
