"Don't worry..."
Toryn contacted me to tell me how my friend was doing and that's the only one I could answer.
"Some radicality stands out, but friends are friends. Did Barastos' investigation find that even Solide would return to memory if he managed to do so?
"Yes, in detail, if the magic of destroying the wand, or maintaining the technique accumulated inside the wand, is exhausted."
Construct a complex technique inside the cane and replenish the magic to adjust and maintain its activation? Although it appears to be an enchanted item with a magical construction, a weapon with a complex construction can sometimes cause glitches with a strong impact. So even if you carry it with you, the other person won't be able to alert you to the wand?
"I was worried if I stayed that way for the rest of my life, but my friends would be able to do it safely"
'Sure, the script is very mind-boggling right now... but would you say that you are very scared of your attitude toward me and Mix...'
"I guess. Especially when it comes to you two."
We're supposed to hear from Mix, but this time, Lachra's getting in touch. I highly suspect that Mix's mood is quite shaky.
'May I ask the cause? As it is, Mix is too pitiful...'
"My friend, if I were to say it as my brother, I'd say I should realize it myself. Well, that's good. Friends are good at their ability to accurately grasp their sense of distance from others. Even if you're a little young, you won't have a problem thinking about your ability to survive."
'Right. The interrogation of Mr. Smythos, who was captured before this, was also very light and…'
"I guess the sense of distance is too close as a reason why Lachra and Mics are particularly wary. So I guess my friend has a tight attitude toward the two of us to keep our distance."
If it's not a good idea for the other person to shrink the distance, it's whether you let them leave or not.
'That being said... Oh, I think I'm cracking it down a lot for Brother Ekdoyk.'
"The guy is surprisingly talented at dealing with people. You can assume you've been allowed to approach after you've been let go."
Besides, it won't be love that Ekdoyk has, and it won't be that much trouble.
'Ugh... it's a little sloppy...'
"I don't care if you make me sound weak. I don't know if it's from my sister, and I'd like to take it seriously."
"Your Majesty, it's cold..."
"It's not an outside way to be nice to your sister's lover. If you don't want your friends to get cold, treat your current friend as another individual. At least that way you'll be treated to the crowd."
At the end of the day, my current friend is a new personality called from the past. Bearing that in mind, if treated correctly, it would take longer than your original friends to get close.
'I know that. But my face and voice are totally together...'
"It must be tough. I'll have a hard time, too. Hopefully, when we meet again, we'll hope it's back to normal."
I met a friend now, and I said, 'Who are you?' If they say something like that, I'm confident they'll wet my pillow for three days and do it in a dream. It's a harsh story for Mix and Lachra, but I want you to do your best.
"Dull...... that's all the reporting......"
After confirming that the crystal glow disappears, exhale a heavy sigh. Mix must be feeling very hard right now. Me and Mix will depend on each other for the most part. I know how that child feels just as much as that person does. But I also know why my friends want to distance themselves like that. I guess you can't intervene from me any more than you understand.
"In the meantime I shall also report to Sir Ratzel..."
Just at lunch, Sir Ratzel and Wolfe will also be in the barracks. Those two retraining is going better than I imagined. If there is a problem, it would be Sir Ragdo or Granado's health. When I showed my face to the barracks, Sir Ratzel and the others were still in the midst of eating. When I just realized this one existed, everyone but Wolfe took an upright welcome action.
"Easy. Sir Ratzel and Wolfe are here to talk. I don't mind eating."
"No, that's not how..."
Well, Sir Ratzel will be. But Wolfe snorted and resumed the meal. It's easy to hang out with other knights when they crush this much.
"Then talk briefly about the report from Toryn. There's been some trouble, but it doesn't even seem to suck."
The two of them knew the contents of the report from Lachra, but had no particular rush to show. Well, I guess these two understand their friends as much as I do, and I thought they would.
"You don't seem to have to worry about him, but you're worried about Master Mix and Lachra's hard work..."
"Right. Lachra aside, Mix is just like me and thinks hard. I hope I'm not overthinking it."
"Heh, worry about Lachra too"
Wolfe complains with a disgruntled face. I tend to be more reluctant than my friends, but they give me a good opinion. Wolfe's presence has been one of the few healing things in her friend's absence.
"As my brother, I have to worry about Mix the most. Let the two of you, my friends, worry about Lachra."
"Wolfe and the others are just as worried about each other, but it's sloppy"
"Speaking of which, Lachra would have a brother on the ground, right?
"Mr. Ekdoyk is a bad guy around here."
Since I got back from the Tays demon world, Wolfe has come to say things quite clearly...
◇
It continued to strike Toryn army facilities and soldiers carrying out policing throughout the city, after a while. As a Toryn army, you can't pull a cage because they're after soldiers. If you just have to aim for it, there are soldiers watching the mall.
"Solid... enemy, you're not coming..."
"Don't worry if you don't come. Toryn's soldiers are completely confused. Then in a few moments, Real can come back and let the droppers get away."
"Well... if the enemy doesn't come, help Smyths..."
"Don't be stupid, I'm just trying to say. Maybe it would be surprising if there wasn't a response so far."
"Huh! Then..."
"Don't be stupid."
"In the end they said..."
I'm talking about the people of Yugra's stars, I'm sure you already understand these thoughts aimed at destroying each and every one of the forces of war. Then we must avoid at any cost the liberation of Smythos, who will be a leading pawn in each destruction as it stands. Smyths could already be dead in the first place.
But it's creepy that there's no movement. Are you waiting for this one to get on track and get off guard, or are you ready to work out some way... Either way, we can't let this side take unusual action first.
"Even if we're going to help Smyths, we have to get rid of Ecdoiks who are good at setting traps first. Well, the enemies are thinking about that area, and Ekdoik has the protection of the people of Yugra's stars."
"So, Solide! There was a different reaction to the yarn!
The means we use to target each destruction, which is to leave a small amount of Comija thread where it was raided. Komija always carries yarns collected from special spiders as his own weapon. If it's strained in the air, the guy with good eyes will notice, but if it's on the ground, it's not easily detectable. The yarn has the magic of Comija through it, and if the subject steps on it, it can identify its position. It is even simpler, but it also explores the quality of the opponent's magic and is very helpful in finding the target. It is possible to notice the yarn if the magic is detected, but it seems that there is a good delusion by keeping the magic of Comija herself slightly drifting over the raid site.
"Has anyone besides Toryn's soldiers finally shown up at the scene? What are the characteristics?"
"Uh... man in weight, magic a little different from people? I don't know, it's like it's close to demonic magic..."
Only Ekdoyk matches that condition with the forces of the enemy. Ekdoyk's here to check the site? Hi. That's crazy. Then who's in the facility that's capturing Smyths? Is that Mix-Tayze?
"See if we dare to follow the trail we left behind."
"... yeah. Solid's trying to guide us in the right direction!
It leaves traces as if it was headed to a specific location in order to launch an ambush. There's a trap set up there where Comija can fully fight, and if you set it up there, the winning chance is here.
But the first thing I caught was an ecdoic that I most wanted to target. If you are able to get information about Komija from Smythos, sending out Ekdoik, a chain-user, is the pinnacle of stupidity. Smyths didn't spit on the information? It's hard to think about that from leaking an underground existence.
"Is there no other target around?
"I'm not here. There are a few Toryn soldiers, but it doesn't feel like they're disguised."
The best prey is guided to the best place in the best possible condition. There are no ambushes at the moment that have turned Ekdoik into an ambush. There's no such thing as being licked...... right?
"... All right, let's set it up. However, we believe that Ekdoyk can contact his allies that he has been attacked by any means, and the battle time should be within a certain amount of time. You have to hold him back by then or you have to hold him down."
"Wow, I get it!
If Ekudoik can manipulate the chains as much as Komikha, it is possible that he can remotely manipulate his own magical chains and communicate with his peers. Forgive the enemy reinforcements, and I'll ruin the battle in your favor. I'll keep an eye on your surroundings.
"You remember the procedure when Ekdoyk was the other guy? You fight Ekdoik alone, and I'm in charge of helping you escape or ambushing enemy reinforcements when you're about to lose. Take either of them so you can hear them by the type of sound."
"Yes!
My method of attack is sound, and the tone is free to manipulate. Sound is also an excellent signal and a means by which content can be conveyed quickly next to vision. Sound certain sounds so that only Comija who remembers the sounds beforehand can cope, and then move on to action, and we can also have a high degree of collaboration. The sound that rings mimics the sound emitted by Comija when carrying out an attack, so it is also unlikely that it will be perceived by the enemy as any omen.
Raids take place in alleys with few crowds and difficult to secure sight. Me and Comija will each be in position, waiting for Ekdoik to arrive. Komija's on the roof of the house, and I'm in an empty house. Drop a piece of magic seal stone on the scaffold to detect magic, and watch the alley through an empty hole next to the window.
It's only natural to be more alert to surprise attacks from around you than to bad prospects. Then consciously pointing your gaze at them will be in such a position that they can peek at themselves. But Komija doesn't rely on sight with yarn, and this is how I am the hole granny next to the window.
"... you're here"
Confirm what Ekdoik looks like as he walks into the alley. It drifts through chains that are manipulated by magic and looks around. Take your eyes off the hole before your gaze matches, and whisper to the thread strapped to the wall.
"Komija, just in case there's anyone around to keep an eye on Ekdoik. If you're okay, use the yarn to make a noise in the rear. Set it up from the top of your head at the same time as Ekdoyk reacts."
Naturally, there is no reply, but after a while it sounds even slighter from the back than where Ekdoyk is. It would be the sound of thread-operated windows in some house from the tone to open and close. Fit in, peek into the hole and see where Ekdoyk is.
What I saw in my sight was the sight of Ekdoyk flying quickly to the side, avoiding the Comija ambush he had set up from overhead. All right, all right, that's good. Komija has a slight anxiety about being avoided by an ambush, but the war feels good enough.
"- Comija, huh?
"... Ekdoyk, right? I have no grudges, but I will have you dead."
There is, you idiot, and it would be one of the guys who burned the mansion and caught Smyths. But now Ekudoik also figured out the situation and began to expand chains around him.
◇
As my compatriots told me, a detailed investigation of where Toryn's soldiers were attacked found traces of what they believed to have escaped. Things happened when we knew we were being lured and arrived at the right place for an ambush.
A sudden overhead ambush with the sound behind it. It would have been dangerous if it had not been for the wind-cut noise and the slight sense of killing. However, based on the current physical appearance, it is believed that the strength of this Comija is somewhat lower than that of Yasteto. That said, attacks by yarn are very difficult to discern and do not turn out to be troublesome.
Even if you use detective magic to try to find out what's going on around you, you can't fight a decent enemy by the way who seems to be sprinkled with a magic seal stone. But all you have to do is think of Solid as something lurking nearby and fight.
Expand the chain and launch an attack from multiple directions to Comija. But all its chains changed orbit along the way and did not reach Comija.
"- It's where I wanted to fight until I lured him in. You mean there are already countless threads strewn all around you?"
When this happens, the chain caused by "blind eye" cannot be used satisfactorily. It takes a space where there is nothing to create chains with this eye. Because if a substance is already in the space, that chain will be produced in a thousand cuts along the way.
"I know very well that you are superior to me. But I can beat you......!
Feel signs of attack and release magic all around you to prepare. A few slashes looming from outside of sight, see if you can shield the chain as you prepare to dodge it. There was a feeling of yarn eating into the surface of the chain, but they weren't enough to be completely severed. But it's not like this is a real blow.
"Being that confident means I guess so. But I'm not going to lose my guard either."
My compatriots said they retained the talent to have an advantage over me. I'm a few steps up just because of my basic abilities, but I guess I should assume that his yarn is better than my chains than my countrymen say. But I have some pride in dealing with chains with me. I'm gonna do everything I can to win!
"It's out-of-the-box from the start to know they'll be alert!
While accepting the yarn of Comija in chains, this one also fights back in chains. There is no such thing as moving quickly between those who manipulate and fight each other with matter. The yarn intertwines the chain, the chain intertwines the yarn, and countless lines are drawn to the surrounding scenery.
"This one is slightly unfavourable for allowing a massive expansion already"
"No, that's not all! My yarn is more... sharp!
Chains that had been stopped in the air are suddenly severed. Did you strengthen the yarn and increase the cutting power? Confirm slaughter from all directions and build a sphere that covers the perimeter with chains. It is the junction of multiple and thickly expanded chains, but it devours them as if cutting soft fruit with yarn.
"I see. Thin yarn means it can be considerably enhanced with less magic"
It is not possible to harden the chain, but it is too inefficient compared to increasing the cutting power of the yarn. The result is that the thinner one outweighs the thinner one.
"No more escape, now -"
"But this is a spider's thread, right? Then here's what you can do."
Increase the temperature of the portion of the chain bordering the yarn at once. If it's chains or spider threads, it's obvious which burns first. Unlike normal yarn, the yarn on the part that never spread burning but ate into the chain seemed to have been cut a thousand times.
"Thread in heat!? While keeping your surroundings chained......!?
"We just need to cool the air around us."
Spider yarn melts rather than says it burns. But because it's a heated chain, it doesn't mean it can completely prevent yarn. The cutting power of the yarn over there is alive and well, if it hits normally, this one will be cut better. Add more magic to the chain and change the thickness up to a few times. This won't even mean they'll be cut off immediately.
"The chains are thicker... then sharper...!
The yarn dissolves by heat faster than the chain is severed, even though the rate at which the yarn feeds into the chain increases. This would also turn you into an attack. Enlarges several chains and releases them to Comija. There are countless threads strewn around Komiha, so this attack will never reach you again. But if the heated chain keeps touching the yarn, the yarn will melt one after the other.
"- It arrives!"
"Huh!?
Seeing the impending chains to himself, Comija takes his first evasive action. Looks like he melted all the yarn around him that was protecting him. We need to capture it faster than it unfolds again.
"If you make a thick change in the yarn, its cutting power will drop dramatically. But the thicker these chains, the heavier the blow."
"But it's easy to tell for that matter!
If the chain thickens, it also increases the margin spent on manipulation. It is even easier to capture and react to vision. I guess Comija is stretching yarns around and manipulating that stretch to move around. Even though the flesh is barely moving, it dodges this chain at a quick rate.
"So how about this?
Stretch a single chain over the sky and pour in massive amounts of magic at once. It then changes to the same thickness as the width of the alley. And along the alley path, swing it down a straight line. I can't turn this much mass into high heat. It is not possible to melt the yarn, but it is possible to make an impact that exceeds the strength of the building that is stretching that yarn. There's no escape gap, it's a blow that can crush every yarn Comija.
"Huh!"
Shortly before the chain filled his sight, he could see the surroundings of Comija wrapped in white cocoons. It would be like a junction that concentrates yarn and specializes in protection. Can a thread that even severs a reinforced iron chain prevent impact? No, you're not. That would be more to mislead my vision than to prevent it. There was no feeling in the chain that I was able to crush Comija.
"Just before I was crushed by the chains, did you prepare a gap that would just dig into the ground and hide your body"
I don't know how fast you can dig through the ground with yarn, but it's foolish to let time pass without showing up in your sight. Should the chain thickness be undone and the pursuit be carried out? Skip orders on chains...... not responding!?
"I was waiting for that attack. Solid said if I fought straight with thread, you'd be pushing it off with force."
Voices that are not supposed to reach due to giant iron walls echo behind the brain. No, this isn't a sound, it's a chain.
"I tried to yarn it, but the construction applied to your chain was more sophisticated than I thought. It had all sorts of poisons and curses to touch with my bare hands, and it wasn't a very touching substitute."
A chain wrapped around my arm tightens my arm, regardless of my will. After a thousand cuts of meat and the feeling of the bones crushing, the sensation of the arms disappeared.
"But if we make these chains huge, we can't deploy poison or curse on all of that area, can we? Then you can touch the chain with your bare hands. We can interfere in the chain in the same position as you."
Unchaining and trying to get away from my body, the chain moves at a rate no different from when I'm manipulating it, entangling my whole body.
"I couldn't beat you in my yarn. But if you're dealing with the same thing, I'm better up there. Because that is a material manipulation talent comparable to the brave Yugra, as my dropper!
"- Huh!"
A stranded and crushed arm passes behind your brain just before you wrap it around your whole body. Concentrate magic on the eye and activate the Blind Eye. The chains I am equipped with have already finished with Comija's. Then we can create new chains.
"I won't let anything happen anymore! With your own chains, strangle me!
By order of Comija, the chain tightened my whole body up at once.
