Monster no Goshujin-sama

27.

"Shit, it's a dead end"

A two-headed wolf groans at the end of a hit, kicking the monster he encountered from the edge of his encounter.

"We're going back."

Flip yourself supple and return to the previous branch.

This place is like a labyrinth.

Now you must never be able to rendezvous with someone without a road guide.

"Can I come over here?"

"Yeah. That way!"

Low voice inquiry returns a cute little fox squeal.

Berta had obeyed the saying of abstinence and was running through a blurry and glowing passage.

Heading there is where Takahiro Mashima, the Lord of Ayama, is.

Berta is not a family member of Takahiro Mashima.

However, he is under the guardianship of the King by order of his decree.

There is no question as to the king's subordination to stand up and do his duty here.

Also, as a Berta individual, I can't afford to lose that boy who is special to the king... and if I add, I even liked him a lot now.

It was the cessation of sitting on one side of the wolf's head that showed her the way forward like that.

He had his stomach fixed with his tentacles so that he wouldn't be shaken off by the speed at which he ran.

Your husband is over there. But there's Rose and Robbia over there, and I think your husband's trying to get over there.]

"Are you moving in the same direction? If we don't hurry, we won't be able to rendezvous for long."

"Yeah! We need to hurry!"

"I know."

Nevertheless, this place is more complex in structure, and it still takes longer to rendezvous than it can act in a straight line.

Besides, I can't get distracted because I even have a monster.

Berta rushes as she guards her surroundings.

And there were those who wandered on their backs.

"Ugh, uhh..."

The groan rose.

The girl's voice.

There was a raging sound that made me feel heavy exhausted.

"Is this...?

"Did you wake up"

When Berta spoke, there was time before she could respond.

Are you surprised, or did you have something to think about?

Berta spoke up, not showing how she cared in particular.

"How are you feeling, Shimazu Knitting?"

……

It was the Expedition's 'Circle of Fairies' Shimazu Knitting that was put on Berta's back and was being carried.

Shortly before the transfer, which swallowed Takahiro Mashima's line, he was the person who suddenly appeared in the room.

Her 'Circle of Fairies' was also her ability to cause this metastasis.

Berta had secured her figure.

"Where are you headed with this?

Takahiro Mashima's place.

In response to a low voice inquiry, Berta answered.

"You were losing your mind. When I left him alone, the monster wandering around there could have killed me, so I brought him in. If you're just a metastasizer, you can't resist losing your mind."

……

Listening to Berta's reply, the knit had been mumbling for a while.

He seemed to be coming up with something.

Slightly, she opened her mouth again.

"You protected me."

"Well, yes."

Berta admits and returns the inquiry.

"What's wrong with that"

"... do you not suspect that I caused this situation?

The knit asked as she rocked over her back.

Such a figure is indefensible.

The voice had a sad color.

Listening to it accurately, Berta rang her nose.

Just don't tell me it's stupid.

It was because they felt they needed to.

"I don't doubt it"

Clearly deny it.

Berta could have done that.

"I was witnessing your behavior at the moment of transition."

Just before being swallowed up by the metastasis.

The knit, which appeared with a bloodless face like a dead man, showed wandering when he saw Berta.

I guess I tried to say something.

But there was a loud noise, like controlling its tip.

In a nearby room, the sound of things breaking flashy.

The knit shrugged his shoulders frighteningly, and after looking a little frightened, he changed his expression a lot.

- You shouldn't!

Shouting like that inspired the magic inside me.

She is a metastasizer, and the magic that dwells within her is not half-baked.

However, the magic that could be driven was also known by the fact that it was just so aggressive.

Shortly afterwards, a terribly immense amount of magic distorted the world.

Berta, who was in front of her, could tell that it was another human enchantment.

"That was certainly a metastasis by the 'Circle of Fairies'. But you're not the killer who caused this metastasis. Instead, you resisted metastasis. Didn't I?"

"... Yep. Exactly."

The knit answered with hesitation.

Maybe he was prepared to be suspected, but Berta didn't like it.

"Don't take us too lightly. In the first place, it's a little crude to think you're the killer."

Let me try to hum your nose.

"This metastasis, I resisted with magic, as did I." Fairy Ring "has room for resistance. Wouldn't you?

"Yeah, yeah. Because my 'Circle of Fairies' is not for combat"

While confused, the knit admitted.

A shadow falls on his expression, and he nods powerlessly.

"The truth is, The Circle of Fairies is just the ability to escape. Farther away, in a safe place you know. That's all I hoped for, so I can't do anything else"

That, for a moment, may be a complex for her.

Beyond the ability of the transferee to be born of hope, there is a way out there of the mind.

Then maybe that's what happened.

"The 'Circle of Fairies' cannot be used for noisy things. If you try, you'll suffer terrible damage after failing."

Berta nodded as the knit explained.

You know exactly what you're capable of.

"Because it's, well, my ability"

"Right there."

"Huh?"

to a round eyed knit, Berta said.

"From what my king has told me, inherent ability is something that no one can teach you what you are capable of. Then this shouldn't happen."

"What do you mean?

"The enemy is turning backwards at the moment without knowing where the target flew as a result of being resisted with the metastasis. If you were the killer, you would have flown there on your journey to the Imperial City after preparing a special trap. At that point, we didn't resist metastasis."

Regardless, this is the discomfort I immediately realized because I know that the knit is not the killer.

Nevertheless, this is how we are in a state of emergency as a party.

Berta thought she'd find out sooner or later, besides herself.

"Most of all, it is true that they were actually transferred this way. And that's because of the Circle of Fairies."

Berta continued.

"If so, the killer will be elsewhere. If I could do that..."

"-" The All-purpose Vessel, "Okazaki thought. He'll be the only one."

The knit mouthed the answer.

He had a terribly bitter voice.

That would be natural, too.

The same is true of the fact that she used her ability to be her own for something like this, because she is also equal to being trapped.

"I fell to my heart. I was summoned to Mashima. He said to come to his room. I thought you'd be blamed badly."

"Takahiro Mashima didn't tell me that."

"... I knew it. You must have fooled me, I am."

Berta asks in remorse the knit.

"Speaking of which, Yuna Iino said she was called to you."

"What's that? I don't know."

"Hmm. Well, I see that was a setup."

Listening to the parties was emerging an approximate contour.

Berta deduces the situation from the facts found.

After creating some kind of special circumstance, Takahiro Mashima tried to kill him by throwing him there.

However, there is absolutely no plan.

In case you let him get away with it, he was able to impersonate sin into the 'Fairy Ring' Shimazu Knitting, the owner of his original abilities.

Or was the knitwear owner also the target of the murder?

In any case, the plan was transferred to implementation by involving the garment.

But the fragility of the 'Circle of Fairies', which I hadn't been able to grasp there, was exposed.

The transfer of Okazaki, which I didn't know about, would be very halfway, and the enemy said it was turning backwards.

"Besides, it's a hole in the plan that if Shimazu's" Circle of Fairies "were there, it could soon be transferred and escaped again."

"No. I can't do that."

When Berta uttered the doubt, the knit denied it.

"My 'Circle of Fairies' takes time to prepare. In the meantime, I can only fly where I've been. At the point of being flown away to a distant place I don't know, I'm going to have to go back to where I was, so I'm going to need a build-up of magic to fly a long distance. You can't just run away."

"Isn't the special situation breaking down?"

Berta, convinced, felt something hooked.

"But if we need time to inspire magic for remote travel by the 'Circle of Fairies', how did the first metastasis get instantly activated?

The Bertas were flown by a transfer shortly after they fled.

I can tell you there was little time until the metastasis was activated.

"If it's Okazaki's" all-purpose vessel, "is that possible?

If it's possible, that's about it.

But the knit shook his neck sideways to Berta's inquiry.

"No. That's not true. That 'all-purpose vessel' is certainly a very powerful ability, but it's not without flaws. Inherent abilities are mostly because the output drops more than the main house, and they have abilities that cannot be imitated."

"Really?"

"Yeah. The leader's 'Sword of Light' or something... or else, there's no way that self-evident kid would give the leader his seat. Maybe I couldn't even do what Mashima was capable of. Otherwise, that's all the power that's noticed in the world. There's no way I'm not trying to imitate you, and if I could imitate you, there's no way I could stay here and tell you."

"Somehow, you're a much smaller person in a vessel"

"Yeah. A little bit, maybe that's why 'The Versatile Vessel' isn't omnipresent. She used to say," There's no way you can't do it if someone can. "In fact, I'm sure you're good. However, it is true that vessels are universal, but there are only a few things that can be done if they are small"

The knit sighed.

"... Oh my God, though I don't know if that's actually the reason. Anyway, maybe the small size of those humans led to this outrage."

"But its existence is a threat, even if it is a small human being in a vessel"

Berta returned the story to the issue at hand.

"Your 'Circle of Fairies' does not allow for immediate deployment. Okazaki too. If so, what are the possibilities?

This is only to be seen because it is a knit that is the owner of the original 'Circle of Fairies'.

To Berta's inquiry, the knit had been thinking for a while, shaken by its back.

But eventually I shook my head sideways.

"... at least we can't do it if it's an expedition. If it were possible, I would bring Okazaki, ready to work out his magic, to his room with my own 'Circle of Fairies'..."

"You didn't bring him. It is confirmed by me with this eye"

"So if it's possible, it's by other means. Maybe there's something in this world that makes it possible by some means."

Berta roared small.

"Isn't that anything"

"Anything."

The knit admitted, but went on further.

"But anything. That's why I know something."

"What?"

"Because the magic tools of this world are very limited. At best, it's full of magic to activate the third staircase. 'Anything' is unlikely. Normally."

"... Hmm"

What came to mind behind Berta's brain was once a battle against the 'Mad Beast' Pure Takaya.

He was using the treasure sword of magic tools to unleash the magic of earthly attributes.

That's the highest magic tool ever made in this world.

It's not a bad thing if you think about it in terms of combat use, but it's only limited in effect.

… rather than…, the inherent abilities of the metastasizer are too much out of common sense.

"Oh. And this is what you're trying to say? - Whatever it is, the magic tools used this time by the All-powerful Vessel are on the same level as the power of you transferees."

"That sort of thing. It can't be anything other than that 'legacy of the brave', and we have limited means to obtain it. The holdings are about the Cathedral Church and the Cathedral Knights... but that's impossible either. Because if you try to make it a cathedral church, you should have trouble getting Mashima to live."

If this meeting between Takahiro Mashima and Uncle Borderline ends in a cry apart, the stability of the world will be far away.

If Takahiro Mashima, who deliberately invited him, were to be killed, the authority of the diocesan church would be heavily wounded.

I also get cracks in my relationship with the expedition. Not a single good thing.

"Because the possibilities are limited."

"... the 'angel dolls' in the unknown location."

Berta soon arrived at the answer.

A former cathedral knight, they had brought up and used The Legacy of the Brave.

The possibilities are great.

They made a big deal out of the previous battle, and they finally made a move.

It's a pain in the ass.

"Really."

When Berta groaned, the garment indicated consent.

"There's just one thing I'm lucky to do. Okazaki inadvertently used the Circle of Fairies."

"What do you mean?"

"He's not a convenience store like me, because he's got two real expeditions. Incredibly strong. But I can't move right now. Because the damage caused by being resisted should be more than the inadvertent use of the 'Fairy Ring'. Besides, the repercussions would have been even greater because I didn't just suffer resistance, I also interfered with it with the same ability. It's just, on the contrary, something I can tell you that I fought with the same ability."

A sorry expression appeared on the girl's face with a dark colour.

"It's better than Okazaki, but I'm damaged too. The magic in your body is emptied, and somehow, there's a feeling that something more fundamental is being wasted. I think we need to spend at least a whole day healing to get you guys out of here on the 'Circle of Fairies'"

That means we can't get out of here right away.

Most importantly, the knit, which resisted Okazaki's exercise of the 'Fairy Ring', suffered so much stuffiness that it was about to die shortly after the transfer that it lost its mind even after it fell seven times, that this was something that could have been expected of Berta, who was watching the sight.

Besides, this is one way of thinking.

If we escape for a day after a successful rendezvous, it means that even without defeating our enemies, it will be possible to return with the 'Circle of Fairies' of the coat.

The significance of having one more choice on this occasion is significant.

You can tell me that getting a bad little worker involved in the sweatshirt is behind it for the enemy.

The winning conditions of the Takahiro Mashima faction, including Berta, are to destroy the enemy after all have joined, to step outside this strange place, or to wait for the passage of time to escape in the 'Circle of Fairies'.

Conversely, the sure-fire defeat condition is to encounter the 'all-purpose vessel' before the numbers are aligned, or that the 'angel dolls' are attacked except by family members of the upper class whose combat abilities.

Around here, I guess.

"... Whatever you do, you have to hurry the rendezvous first"

The first person who seems to be able to rendezvous with Takahiro Mashima is Rose, Robbia.

Next, maybe Lily and Gabella.

And we're next. The last one is Silan.

... Think about it that way, only Silan will not be able to rendezvous with the rest of his family until the end.

Berta thought it was something she knew the power, but still worried about, and she realized she was like that.

I feel it's a lot poisoned again.

I remember the words I exchanged with Yuna before the metastasis.

- I hate Mashima, because he's the one who cares more about his people than anything else. I think you deserve it. At that guy's place, you're sure to live happily ever after.

I'm sure that's what this is about.

So convinced, all I had to do was run.
