Maou wo Shoukan Shitara Konomi no Onnanoko Datta node Kyuuai Shitemimashita ~ Maou to Isshoni Sekai wo Sukuu Kyuuseishu no Monogatari ~ (Kari)
Episode 99: I had a discussion about the Duel.
The next day, a messenger from the Great Inno-Bi Empire was summoned to the Great Hall of Demon King Castle.Mao-chan answers to the messenger in the same way as usual.
"It's about the promise, okay.However, we are not armed either, so I would like you to send troops when there is an invasion this year next year. "
"I understand.I can make a good report to my emperor. "
Hmm. Then I'll send a return envoy.
"In return?
An envoy with his head down responds to the words, raising his head and straightening his torso.
"That's right. I want to talk directly to your kings."
That's what Mao-chan laughs at.
After the messenger left the hall, he was discussing with his councillors what to do with the suicidal messenger of the Kingdom of Wistaria.Other ministers will explain to Natri, who just returned yesterday and doesn't know the situation.
The Kingdom of Harmony is not yet ready for an expedition and may be preempted by the Kingdom of Wistaria in that state.Various opinions can be heard from those who claim that the offensive posture is incomplete but well prepared for defense, those who claim that domestic incursions should be stopped if they know they will invade.
The Kingdom of Wistaria is at liberty to make false accusations and attack the Harmony Kingdom at any time.It is not impossible to argue on the premise of war.
"Either way, if war is inevitable, we should at least politely repeat the body of that messenger to the Kingdom of Wistaria and insist that it is only suicide.Rather than trying to kill people for tricks, it's a response that fits into the path of people. "
One of my ministers said, Ma-chan nodded, "Okay."
"War will begin soon.Hurry up with armaments. Check the walls surrounding Wenguis. "
Haha
The ministers thanked Mao-chan for his instructions and expressed their willingness to accept.
General Matthew.
"Yes"
"How strong do you think the Kingdom of Wistaria is?
"Except for the private garrison, it would be two million."
General Matthew answers lightly.The ministers groan.
"Dear Demon King, we only have half a million troops in our country, even if we estimate many.Since we have to leave a certain amount of troops to defend the various places, the force that can protect the King's Capital will be over 300,000 or not.There are limitations to the Magic King's strategy.We should request reinforcements from other Federation members. "
One of the ministers said, "When the ministers start rushing, Ma-chan will stop it by hand."
"Well, don't panic. We're not sending all two million people here.Besides concubines, there are trumpets in this country.Combined with a concubine, we can manage the difference in strength. "
Of course it's about me, but even if I suddenly tell my ministers, it will only cause a rebellion, so Ma-chan will just say it blurry.
"However, cooperation with other countries in the Federation is a prerequisite.Leave it to the roots. "
Haha
Immediately, a messenger will be sent to the countries of the Federation to explain the current situation in the Kingdom of Harmony and discuss the contents of the incident.
◆ ◆ ◆
When we returned from language school to our room, Hagis was already sitting on a chair at the table.The smell of wedges is slightly different from what I was eating in my room just now.
"Hagis, I'm home!
"Welcome back. I wanted to see your faces today."
Hagis has a smile on his face and swings around the envelope.
We close the door and sit on the chair at the table where Hagis is.
Hagis is going to the duel too.
"Don't come out. So I'd like to talk to you about a team match."
Hagis opens the booklet for the tournament and says:At the tip of Hagis's finger, he wrote, "Three to three team matches."
"We need to create a team of three.In fact, it seems that my sister entered us, Tesperk, and Randolph into both individual and team fights. "
"Eh!?
I hurry to take my envelope from the bookshelf and check my credentials.It does say "Individual/Team Battle."
"Really, I was supposed to join both."
I just realized.
Hagis puts his credentials in an envelope and continues.
"My sister enrolled us in the same team as Tesperk and Randolt.You're my people. "
He said, "Yes, he did."
When I get back to the table from the bookshelf, I sit in the chair and ask Sori.
"Did Natori know?
"I knew.They have the same team name on their badge. "
"That's right... then I was the only one who didn't know."
It seems that I was the only one who could not read the demonic language and could not understand it.Is that the name of the same team?Was the name of Natori written in the demonic language?Well, how do I write my name in demonic language?
Hagis flips the booklet around and shows a page.I can't read the demonic language very well, but the title of the page says "Team match rules".
"In a team match, it says to decide on the pioneer, the lieutenant, and the general.It's better to fight in this order and win twice first. "
"I see. When you win and lose, the general comes in."
Natori puts his hand on his chin and says.
"In general, do you place the strongest men in the general?
When I ask, Hagis shakes his head.
"There's been an increase in the number of teams that don't fit into that type these days.If you honestly decide on the vanguard, lieutenant, and general in order of strength, by having them fight against the vanguard, the lieutenant, and the lieutenant against the general level character, you can win a strong team even in a weak team in total.The team that responded to it, the team that responded to it, and the team that responded to it, are out of order.There are circumstances like that, so I think it's okay to be free. "
Recent events are complicated.The general doesn't seem to be the strongest.Natori whispers with his head blurred.
"So if you put in a character who can definitely beat the pioneer or the lieutenant general, the chances of the general being able to fight will increase."
"Pioneer, there is a strategy to put the strongest man in the lieutenant general and win without going to the general."
I see, that's the direction to go.
"By the way, is it possible to use magic in team fights?Then the sodium is stronger than the tesperk.The strongest part of this team is sodium. "
Natori's chest tightens again, but Mae sticks to her elbow from the side.
"The strongest one is Alisa."
I think so too.That's what my sister says. "
Challenged by the two of you, Natori shook with her strength in her arms, saying, "Uh-huh."Hagis looks at it with a stunned eye and keeps on doing it.
"Well then, what about the strongest Randolph, the lieutenant-general Tesperk, and the general?Either way, I don't think it has anything to do with the recent situation, no matter where the strongest comes in. "
"That's fine with me, but, um, every time I have to fight..."
There was vague anxiety about what to do if I lose, but since the order of battle is not purely correlated with strength, the order may not really matter.I nod.
"I see.Don't let us write the roster. "
Hagis takes the blank team roster out of the envelope and fills in our name.It looks like this was submitted on the day of the tournament.
"Do you play both individual and team games on the same day?
I have a lot of questions, so I ask.If it is the same day, isn't it hard for people to go to both of them?
"Don't worry about it.This time, the size of the tournament is bigger than usual with money coming from the national budget.It is a four-day tournament with two individual fights, one team fight, and one group fight of 100 people playing like a war.This is where we fought you the other day.But I need a good night's rest. "
"Okay, we'll do it another day, right?But it's kind of awesome to just have two days in a private game. "
I look at Hagis's expanding booklet from the side.
