259th moat: moving shards

Moving Shards

Side: nina holy swordsman

Late at night.

Walk alone in the corridor where no one is.

Unlike that place, the moon peeks through the window and tells us how to illuminate the hallway.

How many times have you visited this place already?

How many years has this visit been?

Yes, this was the orphanage she built.

If you noticed, they called it one of the best magic schools on the continent etc......

Already, we've done many more renovations, and it's not like the shadow where it was an orphanage.

No, I guess it should be something else because it's already over ten times bigger than an orphanage.

But every school here is meant to remind me of the orphanage that day.

Oh, I remember every time I walk.

She had visited here frequently to see if the children she had picked up were not disabled.

If she had anything for herself, it was a matter of orphanage survival, but even though she knew it, she frequented it.

We also panicked and played with the orphanage children about her escort.

Sister, who entrusted the orphanage, didn't even try to know our identity, just came as a good friend.

"Was it you..."

When I look at the moon through the window in the hallway, I can speak like that.

I don't feel particularly murderous either, so when I turn slowly toward him, the vice president Lara is standing.

"Hey, long time no see"

"Yes, Lady Nina is above all else in her breath disaster."

She is one of the few people who still knows about us, the Holy Swordsman.

You're lucky you're an elf.

Not even the same immortality as us, but she's only a little old, too.

Someone I knew who was the same person died before the time, but when I look at her, it makes me think that there was that time when we lived.

"She's beautiful again."

I honestly think so when I see Lara.

We holy swordsmen are older than her.

So I'm very pleased with her growth.

Is this how your mother feels? Was she holding this feeling, too?

"Thank you"

Lara says so and carefully bows her head.

I feel a little bit of that approximation and lonely.

Well, it's almost gone, but I can't help it.

The errand didn't come to see how Lara was doing, and let's get down to business.

Again, things move a lot.

"Dean, I've got some errands for Populi. Are you there?"

When I hear that, Lara nods, turns her back and walks out.

Then I follow.

How many years ago have you been here?

I didn't know where the dean's office was, so I was walking around the college late at night.

While I'm thinking about that, you got to the dean's office, Lara's getting ready to open the door in front of me.

When I saw that, I really grew up.

Well, I'm hilarious that you've known Lara the Elf since she was a kid.

"Dean, I see a customer."

"What? At this hour?

A nostalgic voice can be heard from across the door.

Lara doesn't wait for a response, opens the door and urges me to come in.

Ma, we don't know each other's faces, and I guess I thought this could be abbreviated.

"Hey, Nina."

"That's rude."

If I had been in the dean's office, I would have thrown candy balls out of a bottle containing candy balls while Chicken Populi was doing his paperwork.

"Come for a while at all, Populi won't change."

"Well, it's better than you guys thinking about a Netineti root darkness operation underground."

"He tells me. Come on, stop licking candy balls. I'm not a kid anymore. Oh, you're still a kid, aren't you? No, I'm sorry."

"Oh, my God, aren't you all women? Only the outside is young, but the contents are pretty rough. Uh, no. The more I see him, the more he always tells me to stop licking candy balls and do what the dean deserves. You know what I'm gonna say about this? It's called cold water for old people. This old thing!!

"Oh!? Where in Populi is the dean doing what he deserves!!

"You only have the same, intuitive, savvy eyes. My track record of maintaining this college proves how deserving I am of a dean. If I don't deserve it, they're already sending the dean down. Like you guys, it's not like you didn't get along well with the country!!

……

That's what Populi tells me, and I'll be silent.

Seeing me in silence, Populi also looks a little awkward about realizing what he said.

"... sorry. Too much."

"... I said too much"

Me and Populi apologize to each other.

But that's all I have to say.

"It's certainly true that I didn't get along well with the country. But that's because the country, people, are stupid!!

Yes, it trampled on our wishes, smashed the signs of peace and provoked further war.

All that or the only inferior species that shut us down, let us build the Devil's Sword, and pursue all the interests of our own country, made us understand.

... the country, man should perish.

That's all I could ever give in.

But when I heard that word, Populi would look at this one with cold eyes.

"Talk about it again?...... ha. Sure, I think the treatment you've been given is outrageous and natural. But you guys were impotent, too. I've told you so many times."

"Why is it so lame to stop fighting and be at peace?"

"... that's the means. You were not in the direction of gradual peace. [M] I tried to bring the power of the Holy Sword to peace in the ultra short term, with full force."

"What can't I do about it? If we make peace as soon as possible, so many people will be saved."

"No, I'm not. Your powerful peace will never make those of you who want you to be the happiest. That is not peace. It did make peace with strength. But as it turns out, this is the situation, right? No matter how much you desire peace, the hatred of nations will not soon disappear. We'll gradually make that flow and we'll have real peace. We followed a mighty man named you, but we will not be at peace to the core of the country. Rather, a forced ceasefire is an evil to be broken, for those who have made them recruit hatred and sorrow. In that state, a civil war could break out even as a country. It's the average person who eats for it. So the nations shut you down. [M] Hope for a form that will gradually lead you to peace.... I think it's the best thing I can think of then."

I have also spoken to Populi many times about this story.

But Populi, after all, has never accepted our ideas before.

But they used us as tools.

"... oh. I think that's wrong, too."

"Then where is the best course of action!! 400 years now. We've never had a fight!! You know what I mean!! The answer should be out there, people are not worth saving!!

"... right. Might be."

"Then why don't you give me a hand? Populi doesn't have the Holy Sword, but she would be the Great Mage who inherited the magic from her!! She has raised me with us!! So..."

I try to keep my words going, but I can't keep them going with the sharp eyes emitted from Populi.

"... shut up. I wouldn't give a hand to you guys who slashed and dumped her though!! But I also know why I slashed him away, so I can bear to see him this way. But I can never get on with talking about destroying your people."

"Why?"

"Why and nothing...... That's why you guys are so stupid. Don't miss the act of crushing one of her countries, you slaughtered and dumped her."

"Oh. I knew there was a horde of demons looming, and she was going to bypass. We couldn't have done that."

"So I know how you guys feel. But no, that's why you can't be on an operation to destroy people. You denied what she did!! Then protect people to the end and show them!! You guys want to waste her slaughtered and dumped!! It wasn't a solution of reducing people, but of working together and using peace as a solution, but it ended up being the same as her. No, I'm trying to destroy people more effectively. Hey, was her death meaningless? She was laughing all the way to the end. I never resented your choice. Yet... I can't believe the answer is such a terrible betrayal of her and the pieces!!

"... I know. That's not true. But it's 400, 400 years. I haven't been working out operations in the dark underground the whole time. Even if they betrayed me from my country, I was desperately looking for peace. But I thought this was the best. I can't help but have someone else now."

"So destroy it"

"Oh. But Populi and Lara don't die. I'd like our orphanage, please. Just clean the world once. Because if we chose and the children you raised, it will surely be a peaceful world. We'll bring the pieces back to life and we'll have a world where we don't have to contend with demons."

"... you think the piece will forgive you guys?

"No, we're going to be killed there by the pieces, by Guard World. And that's it."

"... push everything against us"

Populi is right, at the end of the day, he's going to push and die.

But if I don't do that, I'm sorry for her, and the anger of the piece won't subside.

But... that's the last of it. Hate and sorrow.

"So I need you to help me, please"

"No. I aspire to peace by people until the end. It's not like there's any chance you guys just gave up. That's what I can do, for her."

Populi, I knew you'd choose that path...

But I can't do that. We felt it with our own hands.

He said he could never do it in people today.

"... what about Lara?

"I will be with the dean until the end. Dear Nina, I'm sorry."

... Ha, did this happen in the end?

"So, you're not here to ask me what I understand now, are you?

"Oh, I'm here today to declare war."

"... you're gonna start?

"That's right. No, actually, I've already started, but Eneria has failed."

"What? I didn't get that story, did I?

"Well, you were suppressed in no time."

"To whom!?

"To the mercenaries in this school. Well, I know how Populi feels about believing it. There are still mercenaries in the world who want peace like them. But that won't stop me. Populi's not going to be able to move this school because of the big black wolf thing."

That day, to reassert Populi's prowess, I drew Wyburn to the near field, but an unexpected demon came.

Large species of Black Wolf.

That would be dangerous if we didn't all come to the boulder.

But in a way, it was a shame for us.

Now Populi can't go to every country and fight.

We can safely drop countries.

"... damn. So, where are you going to attack?

"It's a road day. There are those mercenaries. Enalia, Zilva is the last. But Rhodey doesn't even have a connection with that mercenary, and if we have a connection ready now, we won't make it. I mean, the country's not that flexible."

"Why did you come all the way out here to tell me that?

"It's easy. Tell us you can always help us, and I'll accept it. I came to tell you."

"I would never cooperate!!

"Yeah. I know. But in that case, at the end of the day, all the faculties, all the godchildren, will be gone. If Populi is going to cooperate, I don't know..."

"... so rotten"

"It is the people of this world who are rotting. Well, wait for the temperament to report the demise of Rhodey. Oh, why don't you send in some college teachers and students on dean's orders? That might prolong the demise a little bit. But if you're coming at me, I'll kill them all. Well, it's gonna be tough to explain what we're sending to things that haven't even happened."

……

Populi bites the candy balls with regret.

"What is the world like today?... should be destroyed. I'll be back."

That's what I say and leave the dean's office.

Come on, and then tell your leader that you've notified Populi, and let's crush Roaday.

Now that Kishore's in captivity, we can't ambush him from the inside out, but we just need to get more demons and crush him than before.

I don't imitate crushing with a few like Eneria.

Crush Roaday with all your might, in such a large group that you can't cope.

It would be good publicity.

... to mark the end of the world.

Side: populi lancer lancer dean of the school of magic

Me and Lara shut up and drop Nina off from the dean's office.

That's all I could do.

After Nina disappeared, Lara opened her mouth...

"... Dean. No, Sister Populi. Are you glad you sent Master Nina away like that?

"No, it doesn't make sense."

"Doesn't make sense?

"Oh. In case you knock Nina out here, the others are already on the move. I mean, if I interact with Nina here and now, she dies except for me, Lara, and the mercenary Yuki that Nina said. With a roll. That's what Nina and the others think."

"... what do you do with Roaday?

"Regrettably, there is no ingredient to go deeper into the status quo roaday"

"But didn't you know that one day this day would come and you were ready? Even on Roaday, if you wield the dean's name and authority, you won't be able to move."

"Exactly. But when you do that. They might think we're the cause of the disturbance. That would jeopardize the survival of the school."

"... are they not familiar with the school?"

"That's right. Indeed, this school boasts some of the best fighting forces on the continent. Gathered Kirin children that other countries couldn't handle, right? So some countries have the opinion that we should dismantle this school and manage it decentralized. Let's just say we stopped this roaday invasion of the Holy Swordsmen. But the infantrymen of the Holy Swordsmen are demons. For stopping it, where else should compensation and liability be?

"... a school with a demonic forest, is it?

"Oh. Besides, if we contact Lord Day in advance, they could say that this whole thing means we missed managing the Demonic Forest"

"Such an idiot"

"I won what the world said. If you don't know you can summon and serve a large number of demons, naturally, we're the only cause. Therefore, whatever the truth may be, we shall stand in distress. So all we can do now is spend nothing in school and prove that there was no mass outbreak of demons. If Rhodey dies, it's not a matter of thinking about where that amount of demons came from."

Damn, it makes my chest shit worse when I say it myself.

My position is an obstacle to breaking the status quo.

You want me to put it on a mask? No, still, there are holy swordsmen, so there's a good chance they'll lose.

I can't help myself. Then we need to work with Rhodey, but that makes the responsibility of the school very problematic, as I told Lara.

"What, you don't have a hand?

Look at this as Lara shrugs.

Rhodey wants to do something about it because it's also Lara's home town, but Lara can't go for it herself.

I can't have a holy swordsman and a massive demon opponent, and Lara's position now is vice president. It ends just like me.

"There's only one thing there isn't."

"Now, if you do that..."

"But that's a bet. That's what's going to happen to the survival of the school."

"What the hell kind of operation is that?

Lara looks at this one desperately.

But it's close to impossible.

Because...

"Right. It's impossible if you think about it normally. Do you want us to punish you again for letting us Zilva, Eneria's embedded students head to Roaday to accidentally eliminate them?

"Huh?"

"... I knew you were listening"

From the corner of the dean's office, without understanding the signs, Mr. Ellis suddenly appeared.

But I'm convinced.

They mercenaries have already defeated two holy swordsmen.

And she's right, we just have to ask the mercenary regiment to join the Holy Swordsmen by chance and get rid of them.

"Well, if you do something like that abandoned pawn, Gilba, Eneria won't shut up,"

"Ha, I mean. Either way, we can't have a hand on Roaday."

"No. Mr. Ellis, can you handle this? I have to rely on you guys now. As it is, Rhodey, many people die."

I can't, Lara.

This is how we are as a nation...

No, you're usually right as a person.

Why, there's something I like and head to the dead.

"Yeah. I don't mind helping you. Of course, I wouldn't say take responsibility for the school side, etc. But there's only one condition."

"" Huh?

Me and Lara were both surprised by the words.

Why are you helping us?

"Say it. What conditions!? If you want me to give you my life..."

"Here, Lara. Don't say anything rare!! So, Mr. Ellis. What are your terms?

I shelter Lara and stay in front of Mr. Ellis.

"Right. That shouldn't be said from me. I'll take care of it, Labyris."

"Yeah, thanks. Let me tell you something else."

And also from the darkness of the dean's office, a young girl with twin tails appears with three young girls behind her.

How many people are in the dean's office!?

Why can't you notice that!?

The girl's face can finally be ascertained, illuminated by the moonlight inserting through the window.

"... Are you Labyrinth? And it was Aslin, Phyllia, Shayla, wasn't it?

"Yeah. Thanks for remembering my name. Dean."

"Thank you"

"Thank you."

"It's an honor for you to remember"

A cute reply echoes the dean's office.

But this situation is unusual.

Why, Mr. Ellis pulls back and she comes forward?

"Well, I'll tell Ellis the terms."

"Just give me a minute. You're mercenaries, aren't you? Why hasn't Yuki, the captain, come out? Why would you come out?

I decide to interrupt her remarks and listen to what is most important.

... What do you mean? Weren't they mercenaries?

"Oh, you didn't tell me who we were."

That being said, Labyris pinches his skirt, looks like a doll, and bows beautifully.

"Hi, Predecessor Shards"

"Absolutely... Shh?

Absolutely, predecessor? Predecessor!?

Surprised that I understood the word, I guess the girl in front of me understood it.

Labyris opens his mouth with a beautiful smile......

"I am the modern Dungeon Master entrusted with the magic of this continent."

I can't stop sweating cold.

I can't believe such a big guy came out......

Well, then I'm convinced.

The power to lightly embellish me, the ability to leave the Holy Swordsman, the ability to gather information out of the ordinary course….

"Well, I'll say the terms. You two should be my men. So, give us as much information as you can know. So Rhodey will help you. You don't have to tell me why, do you?

"They, the actions of the Holy Swordsmen, don't fit the policies of the Dungeon Master, do they?

"Yeah. It doesn't fit, or if it breaks down now, it's very troublesome to manage. I've seen how things are so far, but when they break down Lowday, it's very hard to even do it this way. So work together as a subordinate."

……

I get silent.

I should have accepted this immediately......

"... what is it? Disgruntled?"

"Yes, no. Not like that..."

What's caught?

Even though as it is, her predecessor's wishes are unlikely to be scattered...

"Oh, okay"

"It is."

Did Aslin and Phyllia notice something or talk to Dungeon Master Labyris about something by turning in Shayla who is lying next to him.

"Oh, I see"

"That's great. Aslin, Phyllia"

"" Eh heh. ""

For some reason, the two of them are happy to be stroked in the head.

And after the stroke, Labyris turns back here.

"Right. I didn't think enough of this one. If I'd listened earlier, I'd have said it first."

I get up.

I can't imagine what I told you, but normally, it's not strange to be executed.

But the words released from Labyris' mouth were something else far from execution......

"I have a policy for Dean Populi. I can also see the grief of the Holy Swordsman's girlfriends, but so, it is not good to make the unrelated people who live now unhappy. Whatever your responsibility for slashing and dumping your predecessor. I commend you for continuing to hold that readiness. Whatever you're going to do with the school, I'm not going to tell you to abandon your status as dean. Just be one of my men if you want to protect me now. That's what you can show your predecessor, right?

That's what they said, tears flooded me.

Good. I don't have to waste her death following this guy.

Then nothing gets lost.

"Populi Lancer, Dean of the Lancer School of Magic. and, Vice President, Lara Tudo. I pledge my allegiance to Lady Labyris, the modern Dungeon Master!!

Take my proclamation, and Master Labyris' face will be gentle.

"Yeah, it's nice to meet you"

"" Ha. "

"But I don't need that kind of strong loyalty. Let's start with designated protection and then talk carefully. We don't have time, but if we don't make proper mutual confirmation, we'll make mistakes in weird places."

And lots of things make a move, matching the Roaday rescue operation with the information provided so far.

... Holy Sword, you will definitely stop and show.

"Oh, and, yes. Candy balls. Looks like they've eaten quite a bit. Lara has a cake."

"" Thank you!!

You never gave in to food, did you?

SIDE: Labyris

"Yuki!!

I can't stop right now.

Dive for Yuki.

"Whoa, what's up, Labyris?

A kind husband who takes a good hold of me for diving.

Uh, nice smell. I'm alive for this.

"I'm tired today. I tried my best to replace Yuki. Give me more time."

"Oh, thank you. Labyris."

I'm tired of meeting with the dean today.

I can't do this without this kind of help.

And I fell asleep, like I'd lost my mind in Yuki's arms.

Uh, uh, I should have demanded some etsy, too.

In the meantime, all the holy swordsmen who caused all this trouble will make Matsuke O Samba leap naked.
