Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai

Episode 345: The Eve of Tower Capture (1)

It's been roughly a month since I started hiding in the Hidden Fort.

"Finally, I'm ready."

In front of the group gathered in the cafeteria, I give a briefing. [M]

"The Central Tower strategy starts the day after tomorrow. I'm off tomorrow."

The preparation period of this month or so, especially the second half, was bumpy. Sometimes I was stuck on the way and slept with Mae-chan's lap pillow, but the missing pieces were gathered safely, so I packed up a lot of work from there.

In response to my efforts, Nakajima also fell too hard in the workshop, and he pretended that Hime-no had fallen. Hayama mastered the [Simple Training Team] plainly, and he joined Death March, and the production capacity of the workshop increased, so he managed to finish it in this period.

Thanks to you, we have the best equipment for the final showdown.

"I will not explain the purpose of the operation now." But I just want to say this---and I want you to put the lives of your people first too. "

The biggest challenge in this operation is that we have to bring our captive comrades to life.

That's why we've created a capture gear featuring the paralysis poison collected from the boss of the quarantine area provided by Tendo-kun... but its potency is not absolute.

"When I caught Aozuma-kun, it was Tendo-kun and Sakura-chan who stood on the arrow. However, when I have to, I can kill Aozuma-kun, giving priority to two lives."

"Hmm, I don't care about that anymore." "I let you guys sew Yudo's ass." I'm ready for when I don't have to. "

"Definitely, I won't let you do that. So, Momokawa, there's no need for extra hands."

For better or for worse, each person is stronger in their desire to get back alive.

In terms of my personal emotions, I'm going to become a great kinako, a true Azure Lord, a wall that cannot be crossed, tomorrow, and so on. Perhaps Mae-chan, even Kinako, can kill me relentlessly if my life is in danger.

It's easy to say that we're all friends, that we're definitely going to get them all back, and we're going to risk our lives to help us do that. Azure would definitely say something like that.

But I don't speak irresponsibly of such an unrealistic idealism. All I can do is show the potential to seize the future that everyone wants.

Therefore, those who most desire to bring Azure True Lord back alive will stand on that arrow. And we support it. If someone else stands in front of me, I'll kill you with momentum.

"Is Hayama-kun okay?" I just want you to be prepared for when you have to. I will never allow Kinako to kill my people. "

"Oh, I know... that's why I'll definitely get my mushrooms back!"

Yeah, let's do our best, we'll do our best to prepare for that.

As for me, Aozuma-kun would like to reclaim Kinako by any means, even if she gave up.

After all, he is not a classmate for seven years. However, I met Rizuki Hayama purely, and they acted together for him.

I don't want to abandon you like that. [M] I will never forgive that sage for taking advantage of me.

"Nakajima, to be honest, Kensaki has the lowest priority." I may not be able to follow through either. Still, you bet on the possibility of helping her. "

Of course. Momokawa-kun, I'm really grateful you gave me a chance.

"Tomorrow that is a dear friend to me. I won't abandon you so easily."

But with Aoi Shin-kun and Kensaki, you can take Aoi Shin-kun without any trouble, right? I don't think it's a good idea to say something too powerful, Sakura-chan.

"The one to kill is the [Wise Man's] birdie." By defeating that traitor, it's time for us to get out of this dungeon and travel to the outside world ---- "

If it were true, it would have been easier to conquer the tower.

Until the end, the little bird, he was going to suffer.

But that was the last time. In this battle, we'll take care of everything, and we'll get our freedom.

"---- The final dungeon attack." Let's get a temper. "

The next day, my classmates spend the rest of the day thinking about it.

Shigeko Futaba, as the head of the luncheon clerk, entered the kitchen from the morning in an attempt to make dinner more lavish on her arms.

Light items are prepared in the morning and at noon, and the undercover work for dinner proceeds as soon as possible.

It's almost a day's work, but I don't feel bitter about it. This is my favorite thing. It's much more fun than wielding a weapon and fighting.

It was an unexpected person who came under Shigeko who started cooking with her nasal cords.

Ah, Hayama-kun. What's the matter?

Shigeko asked with a gentle smile as she appeared to Lilight even though she was not on duty.

Lilight, who was still unfamiliar with the miraculous success of the diet and the appearance of Maiko, who had turned into a booby-trapped beauty, answered honestly, unintentionally diverting her gaze.

"Um, can I borrow your kitchen for a second? It's all right around the corner."

"It's a big place, so you can use it anywhere you want." But if there's something you want me to make, I'll make it? "

Shiroyoko said that she saw the ingredients at a glance, which were the large meat held by Lilite -- the chicken-shaped monster Kokko's leg meat.

Do you want to make a giant fried chicken with a monster-sized chicken pair? Cooking at a size that exceeds the normal size requires a technique that is commensurate with the size. At the very least, it is a word from the kindness of Shigeko that most amateur rewriters find it difficult to cook well by themselves.

No, Futaba-san seems to be in a lot of trouble, so I'll do it myself.

No, you don't have to worry about that at all.

"It's really good." I want to make it... I want to make it. "

With a serious expression, Lilight placed a large piece of thigh meat in the kitchen corner.

I started by washing my hands, and my motivation seems to be good enough.

"What do you make?"

"Fried chicken. It's my favorite kinako."

Deep-fried lunch boxes dropped in this alternate world are simply frozen foods sold for 2,980 yen per packet, but they are seared by the fire spirits and eaten together.

I can still vividly recall the figure of Kinako, who was eating delightfully with Umai, Umai, and Umai.

By joining Kotaro, Rilight's survival diet has greatly improved, but Kinako's favorite dish is deep-fried chicken.

"I'm sure you're hungry. So when you rescue him, you'll eat whatever you want right away."

Yeah, I see. Then we'll have to make a lot of it.

pretending not to see the weeping tears in Rilight's eyes, Shigeko said so with a sunflower-like smile.

"Oh, my God! But I'm not sure how to make it, so it would be helpful if you could teach me a little bit."

Of course.

A course on how to make the most delicious fried chicken was started by Ace of the Cooking Department of Shiratsu Academy.

----Okay, tomorrow.

After a sumptuous dinner, more than the night before the Yamatano Orochi Crusade. Ryoko muttered with a glass of wine in her hand.

"Yeah. It's all right, I'll take care of it."

Beauty reaches out to the sweets on the table with a bright smile that blows away anxiety.

Even so, you can often drink alcohol, Ryoko.

The cherry blossoms, which would also be troubled, did not dare to touch them, but turned to the red wine that Ryoko was talking about.

"I seem surprisingly strong on alcohol." Tomorrow's the end of the plan. "

"I don't like wine very much. It's fruit wine or honey!"

"No, that's not what I meant..."

What, Sakura? Do you still care about when you were poisoned?

"Of course. I was lucky to have been given the antidote magic by accident... but now I remember, it's a terrifying event."

But you know it's not Momokawa-kun's fault.

“Yeah, I know that. But that doesn't mean we're going to lose that abominable memory."

That's why I can't believe how Kotaro responds to Ryoko, who usually receives and drinks a bottle of wine that Kotaro recommended as "this is quite delicious."

In fact, even if it wasn't Kotaro who was poisoned, it can't be dispelled even by the image of him falling down with the alcohol distributed by his hand. However, for the cherry blossoms, Kotaro's bad impressions and enemies were too strong, rather than the pure fear of inciting poison.

Even without Aojin-kun, you're still here.

"Um, what do you mean?"

"You're overstretched." Everyone, Momokawa-kun is looking after you. Neither me, nor you, not even that Ryuichi. You don't look so good at him, like a child who says "I'm sorry" to his parents. "

"It's Momokawa that's getting on my nerves!" How badly I've been treated... I'll never forgive you for imitating such a human experiment... I'll never forgive you... "

It is a fact that Kotaro's living conditions for his classmates have remained the same as those of his parents since the time of the school tower. Now, if he knocks us out of this hidden fort, everyone will be in trouble for food and clothing except Ryuichi.

Living in a comfortable environment as normal, Kotaro is able to concentrate on activities such as hunting, training, and equipment production.

However, on the other hand, it was also a fact that the experiment to break the "Holy Barrier (Oracle Field)" against the Azure Shizuku cherry blossoms was extremely harsh.

”Well, that's right... I'll be sympathetic”

"If you sympathize, please help me properly"

"Haha, I guess that's a bit impossible."

Isn't Minami too attached to Momokawa?

"It's not like that." This is a legitimate transaction... because it's a business partner. "

“Maybe that's the best way to build a good relationship with him.”

Even at the time of the school tower, and from the time of the accidental reunion in the Goma Kingdom, Kotaro's relationship of fishing for sweet waves for various conveniences has continued. Now that Shigeko is back under Kotaro, she has the only pastry chef who can make sweets that satisfy her tongued contemporary son Minami, so the relationship between the two will be more of a stepping stone.

"Even Ryoko shouldn't be used by peach rivers too often." Totally, it's all a hassle. "

"It's okay, since I became chairman, this hard work is a rule -- if you're going to work for me in the first place, please don't say too much about the cherry blossoms."

"I'm such a pussy... no, even if I didn't mean to, it would have put Ryoko through a lot of trouble."

Sakura thinks of Ryoko as a dear friend, but it is hard to say that she has full confidence in her. The best example of this was the secret connection with Kotaro during the conquest of the Goma Kingdom.

Although it was a substantial betrayal at the time, as a result of the fact that the small birds were behind it, Ryoko and Minami joined forces with Kotaro, which was the best way for the class to come together again.

I can't tell you the truth, but I want you to believe me. I hug Yudou, and I honestly believe that Sakura and Tomorrow were fools with a convenient cover story that Minami infiltrated all the way and destroyed the tablet by manipulating it.

At that point, Ryoko was a relationship that would not reveal everything to her anymore, and it would be a great testament. In fact, if Ryoko had honestly revealed the operation to conquer the kingdom that Kotaro had brought in and his cooperation, the cherry blossoms would certainly have been opposed, and even the worst and most arbitrary might have obstructed Kotaro's operation.

In the end, acting with the mind that I believed to be right resulted in a variety of assumptions about the potential for the worst.

"I'm glad I didn't get scolded for being a traitor."

"Since the little bird play has revealed its true nature, you didn't have to have a subtle relationship with Sakura-chan, right?"

”Yes, that's right... if the Tower seizure had begun exactly as Momokawa said, I would have disdained you all as traitors.”

I believed what I wanted to believe, but I was the one who was fooled.

The cherry blossoms may actually be more shocking to you than the fact that the birds were all masterminds.

"I should have thought that what I believed was the same as yours... but why did you do this... why did you believe what Momokawa said?"

"I'm not as clean as a cherry blossom." I can't tell you that I forgot about the Kick-Ass incident where there was a decisive crack in the relationship between you and Momokawa-kun. "

One evening, Kotaro, who had worked hard on collecting certain male-derived ingredients as material for a magic spell, was unlucky -- perhaps because of that incident, he had woken up a small bird tour -- but tomorrow, he witnessed it and seized it without questioning and developed into a disturbance.

With physiological aversion to Kotaro's behavior, the cherry blossoms and tomorrow's reprimands. By contrast, Shigeko Futaba, who shelters Kotaro, argues that his classmates won't be relentless if they hurt him.

Ryoko, as chairman, was reluctant to think that any conflict between the parties had to be avoided here. Minami was the only one who did not take part in the aggressive Momogawa bashing because of her feelings. A true best friend is one that connects at this level.

"Since then, the conflict between the cherry blossoms and Momokawa-kun has begun... and Ayase-san's relationship with Yudo-kun has become decisively incompatible."

"... about Reina, maybe the little birds that play with the birds"

"There's no difference that Momokawa-kun was the one who put her directly in your hand." However, it is highly likely that the intention to eliminate it by pulling it away from Yudo-kun worked.

Kotaro stabbed Reina, and immediately after that, Yudou and the others metamorphosed.

I can only believe that timing was targeted by the birds. At least we can think of a good time and designate a transfer destination.

Reina A. Ayase was a childhood friend of Aoi Makoto, and she was the closest girl to him except for her sister's cherry blossoms. It was obvious that Reina's presence was in the way of the little birds, beyond the goal of acquiring Yodo.

Depending on the mood of the little bird, you and Ayase-san might have been in the opposite position.

Is that a victim of tragedy to encourage your brother to awaken?

“Yes, definitely, the last key to awakening the power of a hero is the death of his closest friend.”

Until now, the only reason the birds allowed Yudou and the cherry blossoms to stay together since the beginning of the dungeon was thought to be there.

On the other hand, the only sacrifice in the end is my sister's cherry blossom. I didn't need a second named Reina.

"I will never let that woman do what she wants." Brother, I will definitely rescue you. "

That's right, we have to do our best to help Yudou-kun.

Worst of all, Ryoko understood that Kotaro could also choose to abandon Yodo.

The risks and sacrifices that can be taken to help the person are naturally different depending on the relationship. The cherry blossoms would love to help Yudo without even saving his life, but Kotaro doesn't feel that way. On the other hand, if Shigeko is trapped, Kotaro will try to help her with any difficulty, but Sakura will definitely risk her life for it.

I don't dare to say that, but for those who need to be rescued this time, basically the person who wants to help the person the most is arranged to be in charge.

Azure Makoto has cherry blossoms. Quinaco loves rewriting. And tomorrow Kensaki Nakajima. Each of them is supposed to play the most dangerous and important role.

When the person in charge decided that it was impossible or that he would die, Kotaro aborted the rescue operation under the direction of Kotaro and did not stop killing the opponent -- yes, it was decided at the operation meeting.

I will never allow you to sacrifice someone to help them. Prioritize the lives of your allies. It was a rule set by Kotaro in the current operation, and it was approved with everyone's consent.

"It's absolutely fine." Cherry blossoms, Ryoko, and I have been practicing a lot and getting ready! Besides, there's Tendo-kun, and I'll manage! "

"Yeah, right, Minami. We'll make sure we get you back."

We've been through a fierce battle, but the night before the big battle is still unsettling. That's why the brightness of Minami's bottom line felt appreciated above all else.
