Harold asks himself as he lays down his sword.

Why did Cody come after himself? Because Harold, the squad member, got out.

Why do you have to fight Cody? To bring Harold back by force.

I mean, it's all because of Harold's behavior. I also say I deserve it.

I naturally assumed the risk of being stopped because I acted selfish on the emergency, but the chaser was Cody was the closest development I could think of.

And the problem with adding up to nothing is that Cody is not beside the Robinsons. Even if they were caught up in the battle, they thought it would be somewhat helpful to have Cody nearby.

This situation is really not one of a kind. It's like trying to crush the death flag of the Robinsons has been reinforced the other way around.

You can't waste your time here right now fighting over that.

I just want to get through and head to the rendezvous site with Yuno, but Cody wasn't going to forgive me for that easily.

Even if you use speed to make trouble say something and attack, the attack you thought you took a blind spot is prevented as if you had eyes on your back.

And if you're too conscious about attacking and there's a gap in protection, a sharp blow strikes right at you. At a level that can be avoided, but dangerous if it lacks concentration at all.

That's just a regular-character who joins the main party, albeit limited.

What's even more troublesome is that the score Cody has in his hands is a Knights standard long sword, unlike the original. Harold is far from the known style of combat.

The original Cody is a rather different piece of equipment: a willow leaf knife and a bow and arrow duplex. It is doubtful whether that combination is fulfilled and in action, but in the game they attack in response to all intermissions from close to distance by instantly changing their scores.

Cody now uses a long sword and magic to the extent of restraint. That may sound easier to defeat than it was in the game, but Harold's offense is flawless. I can't grasp the thread of the attack inside.

Perhaps Cody is thorough in his defense without being forced to attack. From the other side, if you're buying time, the follow-ups will arrive.

Then it is Harold's stuffing.

Cody, who has a horse even if he makes the most of his speed and escapes, will soon be chased away.

Then we still have to take them down here. That's as quick as possible, too.

Harold unleashed his magic without being able to contain the hurry.

"'Trident Blitz'!

While thundering, Sanjo's lightning swirls to draw a spiral to assault Cody.

Thunder strikes like a normal person's body. But Cody is not stupid enough to eat the magic that he just let go without any rush or rush.

"'Flame Column'!

Still, Harold continued his magical attack.

Now a giant firepillar emerges from your feet. But this was also made to leap backwards, and his figure disappeared into the shadow of the fire pillar.

Shortly afterwards, he was scratched out so that the fire pillar could be eaten.

"Oh, you're scared." Windfang ""

Magic can be cast in a subtle tone.

Wind fangs that are supposed to be invisible. That brings the flames together and impenetrates Harold. The attack is clearly faster than ever before.

Harold is made to choose defense rather than evasion against his magic.

Commonly known as "R-Guard".

During physical defense activated by the controller's cross left key and square button, simultaneous pressing of the R button can also prevent magic attacks while consuming MP.

Of course, I'm not actually holding the controller, nor is it a move that's as easy as pressing a button simultaneously.

It's an extension of the feeling of using magic. The image is a shield formed by magic.

Make it appear in front of your body.

I hit that shield, making a gaggling noise and flaming fangs smashing and scattering. The damage has not gone through.

But was Harold's leg aimed at stopping him, when Cody flips out of the guard and goes on offense?

Roaring up, just a haughty sword. That power is definitely better than Harold's.

He is pushed back by Cody's power to trump his opponent, unwittingly. Then Cody quickly hits the chase and the offense is completely replaced.

I thought you wouldn't force me to attack you, but I misread it. Cody is going to defeat Harold without waiting for reinforcements.

Because I'm confident I won't lose. In fact, Harold still doesn't see the winning streak.

Cody wasn't sweet enough to win just by speed. I get pushed around.

(We lose like this...!

That's what Harold decided.

Instead of being prepared for damage and taking the attack in order to take a distance, it is taken directly from the front and intentionally bounced off.

"Gu......"

A bone rises in its power despite receiving it on the face of the sword.

Still, he managed to get in shape and waved his sword down with all his strength.

"'Grand Punisher'!

The ground rolls up and tries to pinch Cody.

Only magic without much speed made me laugh without difficulty. But I knew that.

Harold runs a series of Grand Punishers. The accuracy of the aim was sweet, and Cody slaps a light mouth on it just to keep it away from you.

"You hate me so much that you want to stay away from me? I'm shocked."

"Keep that mouth shut that mouth slapping for nothing."

Sand and dust can stand in such a way that the magical influences unleashed on you keep blocking your sight. The ground around the area is decided like it was dug back, and the scaffolding is rough enough that it seems to struggle to walk properly. This doesn't even take advantage of the speed Harold was the only one winning.

Stupid as letting go of your own chance. Minutes was a bad bet.

The next time you can pack the distance, the battle balance will lean heavily on Cody.

That's why I try to refuse to receive my enemies. Even if we kept our distance, we'd be poor just consuming our health without being able to put in a decision.

As Harold, I just have to disable Cody here, no matter how unlikely he is.

But after a few sword triumphs, Harold finally removes his sword. I still can't beat Cody in Harold right now.

"... is that settled, huh?

"... oh"

However, it is a "one-on-one" story.

- I win.

Harold declares victory while in a situation of utter desperation. Cody listens to it, hands off the sword, hands up and shows a surrender pose.

Behind such a cody were three people in black costumes starting with Yuno poking a knife through his neck and back.

"Isn't that our victory?"

"Bullshit. I guess I just gave him the last one."

"I think Master Harold should honestly remember to praise people ~"

Exactly what Yuno says. As Harold, I just want to convince you of my next compliment on gratitude and kindness.

Then Cody laughed out having fun watching the two of them play each other like that.

"What's up? Are you seriously out of your mind?

"No, no, no, you said you were so clear." I don't need no company, "so the existence of cover isn't out of your mind. He said he did a good job."

As for Harold, it's unexpected there.

“Do you have a friend?" he asked. "Hey!" I just gave it back in half a guile. I thought you were being incited, but I'm convinced it would be O'Rei as a result.

"Did you make a series of magic sights worse to keep them from understanding their existence?

"That's not the only reason."

There was also the aim of flashly disturbing magic on the way and making Yuno and the others realize that it was in battle.

In advance planning, some of the men in the black outfit followed troops on sentinel duty to get in touch with them as soon as there was an anomaly, rendezvous at a predetermined point.

The rendezvous was not so far apart that it replaced the magic with wolf smoke.

There were many elements of luck and it was just a hit, but Yuno and the others managed to succeed because they were quite powerful.

"Restrain him now."

"I don't want to be rude, so please get caught."

"Yes, yes. It's terrible."

"Can I tie my hands and feet and leave you here?

"Spare me that! He said he doesn't have a hobby for feeding monsters!

Cody becomes a prisoner without resisting, as he was told.

In the meantime, take the weapon and hang the cordy wrapped in a rope on a branch of a tree. Large monsters don't seem to live around here, so they wouldn't even be in danger early if they weren't at the wrong height.

The Knights of the Sponsorship should be passing nearby in a while.

Horses also connect to tree trunks for easy discovery. You won't be overlooked with this.

"You look hilarious. You look great."

"I caught you on purpose, and you're leaving me? This is just gonna buy us some time, okay?

Cody talks flat, even in a suspended state.

It may look like it if I say so.

"You still have a role to play. Stay in the wind for a while."

"What role?

"Assuming you're a Squad Leader, you're asking me to do the job. Let's go."

I've lost a lot of time. Harold hurries there to rendezvous and to the Bertis Forest to throw meaningful words to Cody.

Riding horses again and riding from there for roughly two hours. Finally we arrived at the forest entrance.

Ask about the situation from the black outfit that was ahead of you as a reconnaissance.

"What's the situation now?

"The Knights and the mysterious group, the Sarian army dressed as the Star Wings, according to Harold's predictions, have already begun their engagement. Many casualties on both sides."

Numerous casualties. The word is heavy on Harold.

If we did better, we might have spared their deaths, too. Unspeakable remorse builds up.

Harold swallowed it all the time.

"But there are limits to how good a person can be alone."

What I thought back was the word of admonition that Erica bathed me in. The thought that we can change all our futures because we have original knowledge must be discarded.

Because Harold is not noble enough to carry the lives of others.

"It also confirms the engagement of the Salian army dressed as the Knights with the Xing Wing clan"

"Ha, that sucks. How's the engagement between the Knights and the Star Wings?

"Sounds like the Knights are well guided. I thought we were about to break into the living quarters of the Xingyang people."

"What are you going to do?"

"Break up into two groups as planned. I expose myself in front of the Knights as a Salian army. Capture those who are attacking the Knights by poking surprises while they draw."

Copy that.

"Go around to the Star Wings for the rest. Do you have instructions in mind?

"Of course."

All we have to do is count on our own work. The future of waiting for Harold depends greatly on how we get through this battle.

No, it's not just about me. It will also affect the Cody team, the liners, and the black outfits.

"... listen"

Quietly Harold opened his mouth.

Everyone's gaze concentrates. Harold returns a powerful look at it.

"You are here with the life of a task. And he told me to save my life, didn't he?

"Yes, no difference"

Everyone snorts.

It is a great deal of professional guts if you are dividing it from your job without disagreeing with it. "You let me carry something big," he decided to hit even one of his grudges on the task when he could get home alive.

"Which means I'm in charge of your lives. You know what this means?

"Die for Master Harold, doesn't that mean?

"Are you nuts?"

truncate the answer with bassari.

But I wonder if that was surprising. The colors of confusion come to my black outfits.

Then you should let them know. The feeble mind pushed him to death, floating to show off his usual sarcastic, confident, raptor grin.

"Your lives are my property. All of you, I won't allow you to die without my permission. Remember that in your liver."

And Harold comes to this world and the curtain of the greatest battle rises.
