Algatti lined up directly next to Taiichi, without saying anything in particular.

What can I do for you?

But I can't do anything from Taiichi because I don't respond to the inquiry.

If you're not willing to talk, that's fine.

Maybe I'm thinking about it now, etc.

If so, I didn't want to force myself to ask.

Once again, view from the rooftops.

Reddish wilderness. In the back, you can see mountains of things that are either because of the distance or because they are snuggly.

If you look the other way, there's a mountain range there as well.

I knew it when I was flying, but this fortress seemed to be built in a valley sandwiched between the mountains and the mountains.

No, there may be a little bit of talk about the valley.

"One way or another, it's a basin"

Spill pounding.

The Quartet may not be blocked by the mountains, but it would be somewhat trivial.

Either way, there's no doubt that this is a pretty tough environment.

The fact that people are based in this way can be described as a feat in itself.

"Boy."

"Hmm?"

Apparently, you were willing to talk.

Algati talked to me when I was looking around and sorting out the information I could get.

I'm not going to refuse to talk to him. Taiichi responds immediately.

"Apparently, you've met a mighty enemy."

"Oh......"

What Algatti is saying would be about the North Sea.

Did you still know?

Algatti that it's near Shade's side.

I thought he couldn't have known.

Any means, I don't think Shade can possibly be unable to observe the Tai Chi's behavior, and I expected that if there were any topics, they would be shared by Algatti.

"Difficultly drawn"

It's hard.

It can be said that Taiichi continued to Silfi, Mi., and because he had a contract with Undine, he was even held up to the withdrawal of the masked man.

It was really strong. It's like a man in a mask could cross each other because it was just two pillars of wind and fire.

Lost in qualities about magic, and overwhelmingly inferior to experience.

If this makes the number of elemental contracts mutually reinforcing, isn't there a winning chance for Tai Chi?

I can't help but think so.

"I heard it from Master Shade. He said he was the one who feeds all his hatred for the boy."

"Right."

He looked like he hated Taiichi a lot.

I couldn't know why I was so hated and why.

I didn't even know who I was because I was wearing a mask, and I found out that the other person was a man, and that the years hadn't said that much.

That's all I can say.

Trouble.

Definitely will rematch. There is no basis, but Taiichi thought he would definitely fight again.

Can you fulfill and win then?

I'm sure that masked man will increase his strength.

Taiichi will aim to sign a contract with the Elementary of Fire in the future.

When you make it, you'll be stronger.

But suppose the masked man has also aligned the Elemental Four Pillars.

Deception in the number of contracts of the Spirit does not work, as it did last time.

"You need strength, boy?

"... oh"

Exactly.

That's what bothers me the most.

The Rins are breaking their limits.

I tried to get a chance, jumped at it, tried and got it.

That's all I get when I put it into words. The crystal of their efforts.

Rin and the others went to the stage one step above.

So, where's Taiichi?

Indeed, the fattest stage is far higher than they are.

However, the masked man's stage is even as tall as such a taichi, and I can already see a few steps higher.

As for the fat one, the question is whether the upper stage has another step or a second step.

When I climb through the stage, there is a difference in height.

Well, I'm in real trouble.

You're right about Algatti's point that you need to improve your strength.

But Taiichi doesn't have a plan for what exactly to do.

It's not like I should just do it.

Unless it's the way I can think of myself that it's going to work at least.

I don't get that idea, so I'm worried.

"I don't know what to do to improve my strength, I don't know how to do that, okay?

"That's right."

Hands behind your head, ha, and sigh.

Maybe now the happiness has escaped a little.

Algatti laughs when he sees Tai Chi.

"First, the boy must recognise."

I said.

"What?"

"Doesn't the boy already have one means"

"... what?

What do you mean?

Where is such a means?

"... ah"

I see.

Yugdrasil.

The Taiwanese played a part in transcending the world, the world tree.

Speaking of which, Yugdrasil said to me, "If only once, I will respond to the summons".

Indeed, Taiichi can be greatly empowered only in a single battle. The spirit of the covenant will be five pillars anyway.

This is a very big plus.

"That's right. The power of the Yugdrasil is never inferior to mine. It would be a great help to the boy."

Thankfully.

And what I've been losing sight of was being very rude to Yugdrasil.

Taiichi apologized to Yugdrasil in mind.

"But this hand should only be treated as a trump card."

"Oh, I think so too"

One-time card.

If you hang up, that's it.

If so, it's a card that should be cut at the end, at the last push.

By its very nature, it cannot be counted on. Yugdrasil, go for a favor and you'll be broke. That's what I feel.

You need to take it on your own until you push it backwards.

"Until we get there, that's the problem."

"Oh......"

This must be the turning point.

Whether there is hope for Taiichi's own empowerment.

"Let's be good."

"... what?

Algatti groans at the lid, trying to get out of the roof.

The line was too lacking in context, and Taiichi accidentally threw up a barbaric line.

"I'll call Master Shade."

"Are you sure?

The training to become a spiritual magician was led by Undine.

But it was Shade, the administrator of the world, who allowed that training.

If Shade says no, I can tell you the Rins couldn't be spiritual magicians no matter how much they trained.

Undine said he was confident that Rin and the others would be allowed to level up because it would also be a plus for Shade.

So I asked Shade to acknowledge me in the form of ex-post consent, and even Rin gave me the only gift in the world.

That's what Algatti says when Shade puts his hand on this fat one.

"I don't think it's a problem. Master Shade was worried when he watched the boy fight with the masked man."

"... right"

A little awkward.

Sorry for the fuss, man, but I managed to swallow the evil that was going to happen.

Rin's cooperation has considerably eased his impression of Taiji's shade.

She said she would use it, but she didn't just use it because she showed it in her actions.

Just.

I have just yet to digest what I called this world in disregard of the will of the Tai Chi.

"Because the mask is going to hit the boy. Even for us, it's hard for you to lose."

But Algatti says.

"Dress up and come back with results, and you throw them out, and you don't get what you want. Things will determine the majority of the consequences in the preparation phase."

I've heard that story before, too.

Someone said.

Do you think 80% of the battles will be decided in the preparation phase?

(Was that 70%? Okay)

Whether it's 70% or 80%, the majority will be decided, so it makes sense.

TV or radio or something like that came into my ear when I was listening to it.

It would be that I was just glad I could bring out memories that had faded a lot.

"However, only that path is probably shown by Master Shade. It is the boy who walks there. Don't forget that."

"Oh, of course it is"

I just want to thank you for preparing the way.

Just open your mouth like a bird and wait for food, I'm not going to do anything.

"Phew, if you know what I mean. For now, focus on what you need to do."

"Oh. That'll help."

"There's nothing to say about this."

Algatti tries to get down the stairs from the roof. I stopped and looked back.

"In the dawn of overcoming Master Shade's training, he strikes a full letter of our challenge on a full moon night. Try to hit me with that achievement."

"Oh, my God. Remember?"

"Goddamn it, regardless. Losing is not right for sex. I won't let you win."

"... damn, isn't it going to be avoided"

There was the burden of putting it on Shade, and Taiichi sighed that his rematch with Algati had been finalized.

I saw the light. That's a big harvest.

It was the former enemy, Algati Iridios, that brought it about.

This vampire king. He was Taiichi, who now realized that if he did poorly, he might be more troublesome than the masked man.

Does salvation at least mean that this man has no intention of taking the life of a fat man?

Called ready, Taiichi returned to the command room.

Cayenne and Giras waited there, unchanged from earlier.

There is no Algati.

As I can see from earlier stories, did you even head to Shade's?

"Thank you for waiting"

On Cayenne's desk, a written document that would have been finished. tied with green strings.

What does it say?

Of course I'm not going to peek, but that's what worries me.

Especially Taiichi, who didn't hide his expression.

"It doesn't say anything special."

Apparently, he's not going to keep the contents secret.

Cayenne laughs when she reads Taiji's expression.

"Explain in hindsight… I'll leave it to the other side, I'll try to send additional personnel from here, if possible…"

Is that what you mean?

Isn't that a reasonable place? That's what Tai Chi does. Well, it's the opinion of a de amateur who's not familiar with organisational management and politics.

"Because Philip over there would know better about the situation and the air. There's nothing we don't know we can do about it."

"Uh, yeah, maybe."

"It is. Especially the air, this is very important. Feeling the air flowing in the field with your skin. Without this, there's a big difference in command accuracy."

Being in the field is still the most important thing.

I can see what's going on because I'm actually on the battlefield.

Of course there will be exceptions. It can also be because you are in a position that will not be flushed by a large number of people in the field.

But there's still got to be nothing better than being in the field.

"Sure. I think so too."

Taiichi's own emotions get a little mixed up, too, but if Taiichi is on the receiving side of the instructions, I don't want those who aren't on the spot to give orders without heads. Not to mention those who do not know the battlefield.

What do those who are not on the spot know?

You didn't even sweat and bleed at the scene.

Even though I never exchanged my life with a weapon in the first place, I knew it with my face.

Etc.

I know exactly how that feels because I'm the same adventurer.

And the same goes for Cayenne.

We already know he will fight, too.

I didn't actually see him fight, but the way he stood when he was carrying the Great Sword was exactly that of a warrior.

Sophisticated body movements that cannot be put out, at least, by those carrying weapons in decorations.

If you equip yourself with weapons, your mindset will change to that of nature and warriors.

My hips are very soft when I talk like this, but if I put myself on the battlefield, I guess I'll run around the battlefield endlessly, wielding a great sword.

"I guess. The orders given by those who do not understand the air on the battlefield are far off."

The same goes for Giras in front of me, and for Hugo, who is not here. We don't even know the weapons about them, but we know we can fight. Otherwise, you couldn't have come to Celtia.

"Well, I'll definitely deliver this"

Taiichi took the document in front of him and firmly possessed it so as not to lose it, as he did when he came here.

"Yeah, please"

"Thank you for the second base."

"I know. We'll do everything we can."

Never.

Because there will never be.

I don't trust words like that.

Get out of the premises and go to the woods.

It hasn't taken that long.

About two hours, including travel time?

Quite a savings.

Try this job and think again, let's not let anything push the liaison officer.

"Yeah. I need to draw a line."

If you take it on even once, you'll have the feather to do it over and over again in a disintegrating manner.

Special because it was an emergency this time.

You have to treat me like that.

I don't do messengers except in situations of persecution.

With such a slightly deviant thought, Taiichi flies up into the sky.

If you can get out of the same gate as you go and fly in the same direction, you won't get so far off the second base of purpose.

If we get close, we won't get lost because we can see it from above.

What will be going on over there?

Well, it hasn't changed that much in two hours.

But that's not grounded either. I've never moved back fast.

It is again an empty journey.
