The week of returning and answering the final exams ended safely, and the evening when the closing ceremony was scheduled for tomorrow.

On the edge of the house, I was thinking about the "Eternal Kingdom" and "1,000 years of Shogi".

Is there anything you're worried about?

"Kuro. No, I was wondering why Jizo was able to use [Eternal Kingdom]......"

I haven't heard it directly, but it seems that the "Eternal Kingdom" is a secret magic passed down to the five great Yin-Yang clans called the "Tsuchimidokade" that protect the south side of Japan.

The fact that the laughing jizo that had been used as a chess piece for a thousand years was strangely caught in the head.

"Shitsuke Inui said that it was a magic technique that could only be transmitted to the current and the next head of the Tsuchimon family. Is the information erroneous, or is there a leakage of the way to learn the Eternal Kingdom from somewhere? If I could think of two, I'd think of two."

Kuro gave me a guess, but it is unlikely that the information about Mr. Spitsuku, a professional in barrier surgery, is incorrect.

Considering that, it seems more likely that the mastery information of the Eternal Kingdom is leaking.

"At a glance, I've mastered what I'm about to say, but this eternal knot is a very difficult technique." I think that's at the level of whether talented people can use it after years of practice. "

That's a very difficult technique.

It is natural because it is said to be the secret art of the Tsuchimon family, but the Eternal Kingdom is a technique of difficulty comparable to the secret art of the aquatic artist, "Supreme Dragon King Reveal" and "Supreme Golden Giant Soldier" used by Aur-chan.

"That's why I don't think you can learn it just by looking at it like I usually do." If Jizo is to master this technique, I think she will need to receive many years of hands-on answers from people who can use it. "

"Hmm. After all, that's what I came up with..."

Apparently, Kuro had the same idea as me.

The fact that Laughing Jizo was able to use the Eternal Kingdom.

As far as I can imagine, it was a betrayal by the Tsuchimon family. Or perhaps it is reasonable to think that there is an informant who sends information to the thousand-year chess game.

It hasn't been decided to betray you yet, but Long Hai has probably come to the same conclusion.

I'm sure it is.

I'm sure you've come to the same conclusion, since Ryuhai-san should know the fact that the Eternal Barrier was used in the report by Junha-san or Spatula-san.

However, there was one other concern that I felt because I had actually been trapped in the Eternal Kingdom and could use it.

Actually, there's one more thing that bothers me about the Eternal Kingdom.

What do you care?

"I've been experimenting with it a few times since I used it on the construction site... but this barrier is so handy." It seems like it can also be used successfully for short-range metastasis. "

When I was trapped in the laughing jizo's eternal barrier, the location of the barrier was near the entrance of the park, but when I came out, it was on a 100-year-old commemorative tower. I tried several times to rely on that memory, but it seems that the "Eternal Knot" has properties similar to the abilities of "Transfer", and it is possible to install an exit somewhere within view from the active position.

There is also the property of being able to break through the space within the barrier and escape from a random position within visibility by forcing an escape.

"... maybe that's why the thousand-year-old Shogi pawn came out of the [End of the Twentieth Day]?"

"No, I don't think that's possible. I tried experimenting with the [Replica of the Twenty Days of the End] learned from Mr. Spatula, but in that sealing technique, the Eternal Barrier could not be used."

I tried to seal and verify the doll made with "Toys" and the entrance of "Eternal Kingdom" in the "Replica of the Twenty Days of the Ends", but none of the seals seemed to have the effect of disturbing the effects of magic and abilities.

Because replicas are so potent, the real "Twenty Days at the End" is probably more powerful.

But that's not what I'm concerned about right now.

"I don't know why I was getting out of the seal, but what I'm trying to say is why I let go of the Eternal Kingdom, which is too convenient."

Not only can the Eternal Kingdom create a different space of imaginary scenery, but it can also be used to temporarily leave combat, isolate objects, and transfer short distances. It's a technique that has a powerful ability to become a trump card.

"I think that Jizo, who can use the Eternal Kingdom, was an important pawn for a thousand years of Shogi." But from the beginning of the battle, I've been putting it into practice normally..... "

"Isn't that the most important battle you've ever had?" Or maybe you didn't think you'd lose the strength of your army. "

"Of course, I think there is, but I thought maybe I could have lost it..."

“Should I have lost it? Even though it's an important pawn?"

Yeah. It's an important pawn, but I thought maybe it would work.

"... there are still tokens that can use the Eternal Kingdom?"

At least there must be someone who taught Jizo how to live forever.

Even better, the opponent has a higher mastery of the Eternal Kingdom than the Laughing Jizo. In other words, a decisive battle could unleash a more powerful Eternal Kingdom.

"That's not all. I'm made to suspect that there are traitors because I know of the existence of the Eternal Kingdom." This may also be the aim of the thousand-year game of chess. "

"The demon who plays chess... it's true that he doesn't seem to have that much intelligence."

Kuro also agreed with me.

"Suppose there's a traitor, but I think we're losing our strength information." If that's the case, I think that the showdown with the thousand-year-old chess team will depend on the existence of a movement that exceeds the opponent's imagination. "

Continuing to talk sideways, Kuro's ears twitching.

"There are things I can say for myself, but I think I'm the right person for the job. Thanks to your mastery, you can use new moves in battle, and there are some skills and abilities you haven't shown to thousands of years of chess."

I think it is more appropriate than ever while explaining.

”... it's dangerous?”

"I know, I understand."

Many demons and magicians cooperated in the battle 10 years ago. At that time, both the next owner of the Volcanoes, the Kanamori family, and the Tsuchimono family, and the former owner of the Kiyo family, who was also the mother of Junha, were sacrificed, but they could not be defeated. I understand how dangerous it is to fight against such a thousand-year chess game.

“Still, I feel like I need to be part of this to reduce the damage.”

It's just a guess, but I strongly think so for some reason.

"... heh, actually, I thought you'd say that." I had already heard the details of the Thousand Years Chess Crusade from Long Hai. I will be able to participate in it from now on. "

Seriously?

Kuro or Junha-san wanted Ryuhai-san to give me information about the Crusade of the Thousand Years, but it seemed that it was already moving. That's right, Kuro. This is old age.

"By the way, the place is in Tohoku." It is the sealing place of the thousand years of Shogi. I heard that we are planning to conduct an operation at the beginning of August to coincide with the time of the festival when the sacred spiritual power will increase. "

The beginning of August is almost here!

It was already late July. I don't have more time than I thought.

"Oh! I went to Tohoku!"

Yo-ho-ho!

Ka 'Kar!

Raw Marette's first Meteno Outside the road, definitely Tomotomo Hitemitai DESNE

……

"Did you guys hear that?"

It seemed like he was secretly listening to me and Kuro, and even Kal, headed by Uru, was looking forward to going to the Northeast.

"I'm telling you, it's not a game, is it?" I think you know it because you fought a thousand years of chess, but if you're not good enough, you might die. We're going to a very dangerous fight. "

"Of course I know." That's why I'm going with you! "

Lynn is the same!

Kakaka!

……

"Everyone feels the same way, Chino-sama. Death"

"Everyone..."

I can see a blog post summarizing the tourist attractions in Tohoku on the screen of my laptop in the back of Uru, but I don't dare touch it.

"First of all... most of the [substitute] cards have expired, so we have to make them well."

With that, Kuro asked Long Hai-san to participate in the crusade.
