Chapter VII.24 "Proud Shore"

― ― Incrementally, as the start of the feast approaches, the tension increases.

――――

There was no conversation in the waiting room where the five gathered, and they were quiet.

Not only does Abel close his eyes and concentrate, but Subaru can't speak.Even the flops are silent, so the weight of the air is overwhelming.

It worked so well, there is no problem left.

And humans are not so simple as to be considered so divided.No matter how well the women's outfits performed, the tension with the real show as the present increased.

However, no matter how loud your heart hearts scream and the gentle, cold sweat gets on your back, it won't stop flowing and the time of purpose comes again.

"The banquet is ready.It's your turn. "

The guardian soldier's voice rang, and the moment came to resolve the tension.

Face to face, Subaru and the others grabbed each instrument and left the waiting room after the leading soldier.I undergo a light medical examination, but in the first place, I can't afford to hide weapons from Subaru, who only wear thin clothes.

Passing the exam with curious and colorful eyes, Subaru and the others are guided to the banquet.

It's just...

― ―

Mr. Tarita?

The cheeks were stiffened and Subaru frowned on the heavy tartar.

Though the lead soldier whispered, Tarita did not answer the voice of Subaru, which should have arrived.The state of her eyes revealed her mental state.

Extreme tension strongly dominates her body.

The operation to leave the familiar settlement and get into the middle of the enemy line with little or no support for her elder sister may have put a lot of stress on her.

With a falling complexion and breathing, Subaru managed to encourage her, but she didn't come out with what to say.

Easy words of consolation such as "It's okay" or "I want you to leave it to me".

Will that calm the spirit of Tarita now?

Yes, when Subaru wasn't able to take a step because of his anxiety -

"- Talita"

――――

"I have nothing to worry about.Look at me. "

It was a loud, arrogant but absolutely confident voice.

An unfounded word of consolation, the same as Subaru's last thought.However, the effect of that easy consolation was enormous.

With a faint breath, Tarita blinks her eyes.

I forgot to breathe and brought her back to her senses, whose eyes were dying.It was just a single word, a strong voice that touched the hearts of others.

What you have, you take away the hard work of what you don't have in an instant.

It made me feel painful many times, and it made me feel different.

"I'm not angry anymore."

To convince himself, Subaru mutters as his comfort.instantly realized that not only Taglita but also her tension had been relieved and her lips bent.

You'll be proud to say it, so I'm not going to say it.

And then...

"--Well done. You guys are going to perform a great dance and song."

Nearly thirty mighty men welcomed Subaru in the hall where the feast was prepared.I was told that there would be no soldiers in today's banquet, so I wonder if there are so-called officers and officers here.

Of all the "generals", the man who sat in the deepest chair called out.

"... that's Second General Zuckle Othman?"

Subaru murmured only in her mouth and looked at Abel with her eyes crossed, and a line of Maiden who hid her face in Vale pulled her chin slightly and affirmed Subaru's doubts.

With that approval, he saw the other person again and Subaru frowned shaped.

Zykl Othman, an Imperial soldier and commander stationed in the castle city of Gyalal.

I wondered what kind of mighty samurai he would be, but his appearance betrayed one or two of Subaru's imaginations.

First of all, the back length is low. Compared to Subaru, who is by no means long, about half of his head looks low.I wonder which way Kuna is with the right spine.

Of course, since there is a precedent of a garfield that boasts tough strength even with a low back length, there is no reason to underestimate physical fitness.But he didn't even look like a real hater or a capable man.

Most impressive of all is the characteristic hairstyle, which is very swollen.

In words, it would be best to describe Afro as a hairstyle that just rests on the head of a small man and seems somehow mascottish.

I had heard in advance that it was a soldier, but it certainly did not look like a type of swordsmanship medallion.

"Now we have a problem.The mood in the city keeps falling apart day by day.So we set up a feast this time.Do you understand your role? "

"- Yes, it is a great honor to invite you."

Subaru kneels in front of Zuckle, who puts his cheek on the armrest and throws a lofty word.

Flops, taritas, and counas continued, but Abel, who stood at the rear, did not.For a moment, Zuckle's eyes narrowed, and a disturbing air spread into the General.

As expected, one of the soldiers who had placed a liquor cup at his feet stood up and stared at Abel.

"Why don't you kneel? I knew it was in front of the Second General...."

"Wait, don't start. This place was opened for a drinking banquet.It's not courtesy, it's boring comfort to ask for things to do in the arts. "

"Mm... if that's what the" general "says..."

However, it was the only Zuckle who was embarrassed by the soldiers who ate Abel.

Soldiers bowed reluctantly to his generosity.In the meantime, Abel kept his face hidden in Vale and kept himself out of sight.

"Why don't you take a look at the samurai's temper?Now you look confident in the dance.But the first impression is bad.I hope you'll cover me up. "

"... thank you for your generosity. But rest assured."

Zuckle, who only favoured Abel's grandeur, answered Subaru on his knees, "Huh?"He raised his eyebrows with interest.

Though my chest hurts when I think about this afterwards, this is a good opportunity for me.By making the most of it, he will be able to taste complete defeat.

"--From now on, I'll see you from the other side of the Great Falls, Princess Mai.With glossy black hair that swallows the light of the sun, beautiful white skin blessed by the Spirit, the supreme beauty of heavenly people, I will dance greatly tonight. "

As he stood up, Subaru lined up the words of the beginning.

Slowly lift the veil that hides Abel's face to prove that it is not a bluff on the front mouth, which is too big.

Eventually, I saw the face of the exposed Mai Princess, and I found the one who had been stunned by the pride of the rumored Mai Princess, breathing at once.

――――

Among them, Zyckle's shock, staring straight into Abel's eyes, was huge.

From the beginning, there would have been a shock equal to being beaten defenselessly, as long as we showed a tolerant attitude on this side, whether it was bigger that we were prepared to accept it by hawks.

It was literally like forgetting to breathe and losing your voice.

"--if you give us the opportunity to perform the dance of the Maiden."

With his head down, Subaru was so polite.Likewise, the flop lowered his head and raised each instrument to seek forgiveness for the beginning of the feast.

As Zuckle shakes his neck vertically, Subaru turns his gaze to the flop.

Then he nodded that he was ready and started to play.

"--Tonight, you will see the dance at the end of the Great Falls, our Maiden's hometown.Enjoy the dance from the end to the end. "

The end of the Great Falls is an exaggeration.

But it's not a lie in the sense of an unknown dance that the Imperial soldiers don't know.Both songs and dances are not in this world, they are a substitute brought in from the world of Subaru.

Of course, the arrangement was added appropriately, but it was able to attract the audience sufficiently, not only to substitutes with different foundations, but also to dance.

- Well...

――――

In addition to the beauty of dance, Mai Hime who attracts others with her beauty may not have needed a flying tool for singing and dancing in other worlds.

――――

There is the word "alcoholic dishes", but this is not just the food served at the bar, but any kind of entertainment that serves to promote alcohol is called that way.

Of course, it also includes leisure, and dancing is also called dish dancing, and it is part of a neat sake dish - but it has not been very effective so far.

The dance of the Mai Princess takes away her eyes, burns her throat, and asks for alcohol as if she were thirsty.

Naturally, the wine was tilted more frequently and faster, and the soldiers lined up and red their cheeks.Especially the fast pace at which the liquor glass is carried to the mouth is General Zykl, who is trying to heal the numbness of the cerebral spinal cord.

If the judgment is taken away by alcohol and dance, the poca that is not possible will also be softened.

For example, it's an unprecedented meltdown to lose the desire to see a sword dance and hand over the sword as Mai Hime asks.

"--Your defeat, Zuckle Ottoman."

Therefore, even if the tip of the sword was pointed at his neck and Mai's mouth heard the voice of an undisputed man, Zyckle Othman, a 'woman lover', had eyes that could not be removed from the intoxication.

△▼△▼△▼△

― ― Subaru spoke with confidence of victory.

Abel's sword is in a position to easily pierce Zuckle's throat.

Behind his back, Zuckle, who exposed his neck, had no eyes to fight back.Definitely succeeded in holding down the enemy commander.

It is also faster and at the right time than the original aim.

Originally, Subaru's plan was to become famous in the city as part of a journey and dive into Zykl Othman's pocket.The ideal is to be called to Zuckle's sleeping quarters, where he is cleared to secure himself and surrender the Imperial soldiers stationed in Ghoral.

That premise was turned upside down by this tavern.

─ In the banquet hall, we will disable the soldiers who stayed in the city.

is Abel's word that he announced a change of plan when he was called to the bar.

A high-risk, high-return operation that pays off if it succeeds, but is also dangerous - Subaru agreed to change the plan on that condition, switching to the original operation depending on the situation.

I did, but I didn't think it would go so well.

――――

"I repeat, Zuckle Ottoman. You lost.Surrender now and disarm your men.Otherwise, your glass will be full of blood, not wine. "

Abel, pointing his sword at the immobile Zuckle, now advises to surrender.

But Zuckle's eyes threatened his life, but he was not afraid.I wasn't prepared because I was an Imperial soldier.Instead, my eyes are lost.

Lost, doubtful, that kind of light.

"Dancer, you... no, you..."

As I saw the fearful, my doubts became apparent in Zuckle's eyes.

It wasn't just the reaction of a man in front of a dancer, just after he made me think so.

"Ahh! Me, thieves!Do whatever you want.....! "

Among the stupid "generals", what returned to me quickly jumped to Abel.

However, it is faster for their arms and feet to penetrate the thrown knife than for them to reach for Abel's back.--The one who threw the blade was Kuna who twisted herself.

"Sorry, Ga, the chief told me to protect Abel's face."

Having entered the battle with a tambourine-like instrument, she secretly gathered only the knife from the meal during the Abel dance.

Then, the "generals" stepped on their feet as the fallen soldier was shot through by a blade.

However, there was also a big flying shadow with Kuna's blade.

"Stop laughing! Do you think we can stop the Imperial Soldiers?"

A barking bearded giant grabs an extra throwing knife with his arm and throws it away.

Then he threw out his great sword, and flew straight to Abel without hesitation to bleed.

"Abel!"

Abel is stopping Zuckle and showing his bar-standing back.

Subaru screams his name like a scream, but Mai doesn't do it properly.

As it stood, the great sword was swinging down Abel's back.

"--Cumming"

At the moment, it was Talita who bit his teeth and took the bow from one of the soldiers.

She squeezed the arrows and set her sights on the soldiers approaching Abel.The green eyes of the tarita were filled with light and murder.

Aim for the man's breath to save Abel and stop the murder.

"Don't kill me!!"

― ―

But as soon as the arrow was fired, the flop shouted.

Talita's eyes hesitated to hear it, and the arrow's aim blurred slightly.And the arrow was thrown into the right shoulder, not the man's back.

"What happened!?"

The man who was struck by an incredible shock turned over.But the great sword held in his hand did not kill the momentum, and turned to Abel's back.

As it stood, it was thought that the Great Sword would smash Abel's head from behind.But it just slightly pulls its sword in front of the back of its head and sticks to the floor with a loud sound.

Almost there, Abel survived.

And then...

"A-ah"

The dark hair of the braided Abel is melted and spread.

The tip of the great sword slit his hair and broke his knot.--No, that's not all.Broken wigs lose their role and false black hair falls to the floor.

Mai's long hair turned around, and Abel had only her own black hair there.

--Along with the hair clasp, the ruthless emperor cut off the soft impression of playing Mai Hime.

"Second General! Take these guys now...."

"- Stop it! Don't disobey me!"

Zuckle silences the general's appeal as the soldier with his hands and feet pierced with a knife and an arrow on his right shoulder groans.

No matter how many people fall, if they are confronted with the dark clouds, they will be crushed at once by the power of the Subaru.That was the most unwanted counterattack.

But Zuckle won't let his men do it.I understand that now that I have been seized and my men's "generals" have been sealed off, a lot of people have decided.

So...

"If you do what you say, can you guarantee my men's lives?"

"Depends on your attitude, coward."

"Gh...."

Zyckle showed patience and acceptance of the surrender recommendation.He was scolded by the relentless Abel, and his face turned red, biting his teeth.

It is the face of a man who has suffered more humiliation and tasted this crime than when he was held captive.

Abel snorts as he looks down at the humiliation of the Zuckle.

"I'm listening, Zuckle Ottoman. You used to be called" coward. "

"... an imperial soldier, a very serious name.That's why you chose this solution? "

――――

"If I were to be slandered as a 'coward' on top of a 'woman lover', I would be sworn at by a woman and surrender to my selfishness....."

How humiliating would that be?

Or if that were true, Zuckle would have been so humiliated as to be angry to death.However, the reason why Abel decided it was feasible in the planning of this project, which Subaru and the others heard, was at least different.

It's...

"A skilled and steadfast soldier, a strategist who has fewer visible battle results but less damage from his allies.Excellent as a commander, but lacking in initiative. Therefore, "Coward."

"Yes, that's right.I, but..... "

"What's wrong with you?"

Huh?

Zuckle stared at Abel as he narrowed his eyes and asked.

Abel keeps holding the sword to him as he puts confusion on his face.

"It is the falsehood of others to look at you in cowardice or the gossip of fools who would otherwise not see the result.I made your nature a winner. "

――――

"You hate wasteful damage.Therefore, if you were a soldier called a 'coward', you would not resist in this situation.- Are you disappointing me? "

Abel asks Zuckle with a sharp gaze and a blade on his neck.

It can only be regarded as a violent rumor from a person who doesn't know Abel's identity and who wants to doubt what he said.

Trust the opponent's cowardice and incorporate it into your winning plan.

That's what they say from the front, and I'm not sure I'm going to upset them.Rather, it was something that could make things worse, such as purposefully buying the other person's anger.

A man who can't even dress up as a woman in this way.

But in front of Abel, Zykl Othman took a breath.

I wonder how difficult it was to describe the emotions that came into my eyes - if I dared to linguistize, it would have been a close surprise to touching me.

It seemed as though it was such a swift and fresh reaction that the maiden got something from her favorite opponent.

"― ― I will disarm you. Give your men a hard life."

That's a wise decision.

Abel quietly pulls his chin in response to a gentle, head-hanging Zyckle.

Despite the dancer's appearance, no one can disobey the majestic consent.The Imperial soldiers also dropped their weapons one after the other to surrender Commander Zuckle.

And then...

"What are you staring at? Burn the flag on the roof."

"Hmm? Me?"

"It's you, just you.I haven't played a part in anything since things started moving. "

Abel's cold eyes pierce into Subaru, pointing at himself and blinking his eyes.

As he said, Subaru looked around the hall.

Kuna, who threw a knife at the enemy, and Talita, who shot through the giant.Without killing the giant, Abel disarmed the bloodless castle with a dead flop.

Certainly, only Subaru, who had a butt mochi when the giant bounced, did nothing.

"Hurry up. We can't disarm without Mizelda."

"Oh, I see!Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry! "

Saying so, Subaru headed for the balcony, from where he crawled lightly up to the roof.What a spectacular view of the city hall's rooftops and the night guarals.

Then, in the cold wind, Subaru retrieves the pine lights on the walls and sets fire to the flag of the Empire - the Sword Wolf - that was on the roof of the City Hall.

--To show that the fall of the castle city of Gulal has taken place.

△▼△▼△▼△

The first to notice the anomaly was Jamal, who cared about the city hall.

Jamal was blurring and showing the appearance of worrying about the person he had left behind in the building.Todd kept walking around the city in an easy-to-understand manner.

Only fairly historic cities are indispensable for breaking through the wall, a powerful barrier.Private houses built tunnels or used children to smuggle through walls.Todd was alert to incoming raids as he accurately harvested them.

"It's impossible to pull back.When that happens, I'm sure I'll drop the city.Use the escape route to seize the city hall at once, or set the city on fire... hmm, is there any other way? "

I can think of a way to slaughter both soldiers and citizens without distinction, if it is simply to cause the city to fall.

That's why people die just by burying them in fire, water, or soil.Without choosing the means, humans can push things as cruelly as they can.

What brutal means does that black-haired boy use?

At first glance, I'm terrible because I'm good at seeming bad at it.

Whether you crush or crush it, it seems to be the only loophole that has not yet been discovered.

So, even if you have a hole in your belly, you can't sleep in the dormitory.

"Because he's always just a rough, rough guy."

There are many things that don't bother you in the details, even if they're not all Jamaican.

Todd doesn't think he's good or smart, but if he realizes he's stupid and not good enough, it's like filling a hole.

I don't know how everyone can live without doubting that they are stupid.

All humans are stupid, so we should do our best to be stupid.

"Ah?"

With that in mind, Todd, who was trying to get into the next private house, stopped surprisingly behind Jamal's dumb voice.

You can see that the stopped Jamal is far away, looking toward the city hall and looking stupid.

Something happened, Todd frowned.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

"What's the matter, Jamal?What's going on in the city hall.... "

Todd, who was lined up with Jamal, looked the same.

By now, the city hall should be hosting a drinking banquet to entertain the dancers and comfort the Shogun.

So, it's no wonder there's something floating and stupid going on.

No wonder -

- You're kidding.

Whatever it is, it is unacceptable that the Empire flag that was raised in the City Hall be burned.

Todd said nothing about brutality beyond the boundaries of rudeness.And the flag that was burnt in the flames, and that was caught in the hot wind, was shaking, and burning, and lit red light in the night sky.

Immediately beside the burning flag is the figure of a woman seen in the city hall.

A musician with rich black hair and sharp eyes. Sure, the name is--

"--Nutmi Schwartz"

Yes, I remember being answered when I asked.

A weak woman who was stuck in Jamal and scared as she got smaller.However, it seems possible that the woman is burning the Imperial Flag with dignity in the torch that she has acquired.

There was no sign of the weakness we encountered in that corridor.

No way. A drunk murder isn't cute.

That was undoubtedly the intention to attack the Empire.And burning the base flag means that the location fell into the hands of the enemy.

As I thought about it, there was a possibility of an electric shock in Todd's brain.

No way, is that you?

With his eyes open, Todd crushes the black-haired woman, Natsumi Schwartz, who holds the pine beam, and closes his eyes to the tiny possibilities that have sprouted inside him.

But the more you think, the more you agree, the more you look, the more you diverge.

But that's why the effects were so far-fetched.

Who on earth thinks of imitation like this?

I don't think so. Trying to break through the enemy's guard net from the front and drop the main circle.

"I thought it was impossible.I can't believe I tried to dive out of the front. "

Who can take such an insidious technique?

Of course, we were sufficiently vigilant about the possibility of hiding in loads and dragon cars, and the checks should have reinforced their confirmation.However, on foot, it was unexpected that the intrusion would attract attention.

Even the first infiltration strengthened our vigilance.In addition, it is normal to switch judgment in the direction of perseverance.

No way, is that a boulder too?Did you intentionally plant the premise that it's impossible for us to break through the front? "

Then he entered the city, was invited to his base as a dancer, and burned the Imperial Flag by dropping the city hall.--Nutmi Schwartz, as you think.

"... bad"

What a thoughtful plan, my spine froze.

I thought I had spared no effort to get the best hand, but the opponent slightly surpassed it and laughed at us as the son of a war.

Todd is surprised to see himself trembling.

"Fuck you! What the hell is going on?Anyway, go back to the City Hall..... "

"Stupid, stop. You're gonna die."

Oh?

Unlike Todd, Jamal doesn't realize the identity of the person who burned the Empire Flag.

From a distance, he can't see the details of the rooftop of the city hall.I just saw it because it was Todd's special eye.And because you can see, you can stop Jamal.

The fall of the city is obvious now that the Imperial Flag of the base has been burned.

Perhaps by now, all the "generals" who participated in the feast, including Zuckle, have been killed.Even if I jump out of here, it's Mt. Seki that gets hit back.

"Oh, my God, did you notice that? Still an Imperial soldier, huh!?"

"You can't win or pick up your life by holding back.You'll see.The city hall isn't working anymore.The two generals are dead.Shdrak enters the city not far away. "

――――

"If we don't get out of here before then, we'll have no choice but to bravely kill him."

Jamal is not in a humiliating position to disarm too much.

The alternative would be to jump into the enemy line with a weapon, wave bravery, take a dozen men, and then kill them.

I'd say the Sword Wolf died, but from Todd's point of view, the dog died well.

Life is a finite hand.

Whatever it takes to win, it's a waste to lose.

We've known each other for quite a long time. I don't think it has anything to do with advising you.

"There's just a hole in the wall.I'm getting out of there. What about you? "

"Gu, gu... are you going to expose your life to shame again?"

"If I live, I have a chance to rinse my shame.But when you're dead, that's it.That's why I'm going.I can't fight without winning. "

Rather than winning or not, it is true that we do not ride in a battle with low odds, but we also have little time to ask Jamal about the details side by side.

Running straight out, Jamal said after a short tour, "Fuck you!"He shouted and followed Todd without help.

No one can help him if it's as simple as this, but the world is not going to be so good.

Anyway...

"For the time being, do you want to remember the name Nuts?- You're the son of a war. "

△▼△▼△▼△

When the Imperial Flag was burned and the City Hall fell, the Imperial soldiers unexpectedly and honestly followed our call for surrender.

It was the same for the guards who defended the city, and although it was a great help in Subaru to open the castle without blood, it was also a surprising development.

"I often saw the battle of the Sengoku in times dramas and so on, and I thought it was strange that the battle would end when the other general's head was removed....."

When the general is defeated, the next great man will be the general and the battle will continue.

In this way, I think it is amateur thinking that one side will not settle until it is completely destroyed or close to it, but this is not the case in actual battle.

That's why the Imperial garrison, which should overwhelmingly win the battle, will disarm as soon as it turns out that Zuckle, the commander, has been captured.

"In that case, it was a big thing, Na, Subaru... Yikes, Nutmi"

Mizelda

Subaru strokes his fake chest to the end of the battle and the success of the operation.It was Mizelda who spoke directly from the bottle and drank alcohol.

They were lurking outside the city as a separate squad and entered the city with the signal that the Imperial Flag had burned.The guards also knew of the defeat of the Imperial soldiers and did not stop them from coming with dignity.

Thanks to Shdrak's cooperation, we succeeded in capturing most of the Imperial soldiers.

The hall, which was a drinking banquet, was lined up with alcohol and meals, and instead, the Imperial soldiers were lined up.

It would be a waste to throw away, Mizelda and others put a mouth on the liquor, but in doing so, Subaru thought that the predatory superior barbarism did not stand out.

"But with this number of people... the frontal confrontation was still tough."

"Even if there are many enemies, Schdrak's pride is frustrating.... and yes, a simple number is impossible to override.Ga, you and Abel, cover it up. "

――――

"Pride, nuts. You have shown courage by wisdom.What we couldn't do. "

Mizelda smiles manly as she slaps Subaru on the shoulder.

With her legs intact, she headed underneath the two for Tarita and Kuna, who made the greatest contribution to the fall of the city hall.

Even in the distance, my sister praises me and makes my eyes shine with a smile.Kuna was hugged by Holly to make sure she was safe and looked like a mackerel fold.

"As long as the meritorious Kuna doesn't stop breathing..."

――――

I also help you feel relieved, Subaru spills a little smile.Then he turned around and almost bumped into the opponent standing right behind him.

The opponent...

"Beep, Lem...."

"... yes"

Staring straight up, Subaru suddenly retreated behind him.

Lem, wearing a wooden cane, looks up and down at Subaru with his pale blue eyes.While tasting the uncomfortable gaze, Subaru coughed up a little.

"Well, what's the matter?There's nothing left of me. "

"Yes, I heard. However, even if you were injured somewhere, I felt like you were hiding it and saying the same thing."

"I don't trust you... but I'm not very pain-resistant, so I'll report a minor injury right away. Really?"

That's also suspicious.

"Toho....."

And Subaru dropped his shoulders in the eyes of the untrustworthy Rem.

But immediately he said, "What?" and twisted his neck.I don't know what I'm talking about, but that means that Subaru is not injured or worried about me.

"Wow, are you worried about me?"

"What about it?"

"Ah! I'm sorry! I'm in good shape!That's right! Nothing, I can't believe Lem's worried about me.... "

I did.

Heh?

Waving his hands, Subaru hastily tried to correct his mistake.But it is blocked by the word of Lem, which is nothing but other.

As you can see, Lem shakes the color of his eyes slightly without changing his expression.

"That's why I was worried. Of course.No matter how much of a joke it was, I let you do it.And I'm not worried?How thin do you think I am? "

"No, no, that's not true.I didn't think Lem was being frustrated!Lem is affectionate, a little intense, and there are places to be spared before getting close, but the gap is also irresistible..... "

――――

"Rem, are you touched...?"

"No, I simply thought it was disgusting."

"Ugh!", the simple words pierced Subaru's fake chest.

Lem exhales angrily as he squeezes his fake milk into the pain and leans back.Then she took a step closer to Subaru.

"Whatever you say or do, you did something about it.I really dropped this city.And don't let the dead out. "

"... I didn't want to hurt anyone if I wanted to protect the literal character of bloodless castle opening.I wonder if that was as high a hope as I could possibly get. "

"What do you think? I don't know, you and Abel might be able to do the same.... why do you look like that? "

"... there's nothing else, is there?"

Lem raised his eyebrows to a chaotic subaru with a shitty face.

In fact, she nods her words.This plan would not have been completed without Abel's help, and it is true that he is a terrible man of wisdom.

Still, when I heard a compliment from Lem's mouth from another man, my chest tripped.

"Even this fake breast feels something...."

"I feel like I'm talking crap...."

Staring into Rem's eyes, Subaru waved "No" and deceived him.

Even if you tell Lem about her jealousy now, she'll just feel sick.It can't be helped, but scratching is scratching.The passing of love on one side is painful.

"No, in this case it's a reflection....?Emilia, you're on the street, but you still feel like you're taking it... "

"Ooh! Natsumi, I'm here!I heard it was amazing, congratulations! "

Wow, Mr. Medium.

Medium running in loud, pounding footsteps.Subaru is upside-down to her sudden approach, but the upside-down distance is meaningless because she fills herself with upside-down.

Medium had a smile on his face, and with two girls on his shoulders - Utakata and Louis - he watched the soldiers in the hall with pleasure.

"You caught Miuna Natsumi or something, right?It's amazing! So, so, so, what about your sister?Was your sister working hard? "

"Sister, so medium, Flora...."

"--I 'm here, sister!"

Oops!

The middleman opened his round eyes even bigger when he saw the flop appearing in the hall, a beautiful boy who made a loud noise and claimed his existence so loudly.

There was a flop that she accompanied and was familiar with for a long time.

"Grandma! That's Grandma!After all, you were not my sister, but the sister I thought you were!? "

"Hahaha, I don't know what you're talking about, sister!But I don't know, I'm here.It would be trivial if I were your brother or your sister! "

I see! Then I might be your brother, not your sister! It's big! "

"My sister, my brother, my brother, my sister, my family!"

The conversation between the O'Connell brothers and sisters was unique, but it went so far as to settle with its unique sense of tempo.

As the laughing flop hugs the waist of the medium, the medium with the girls on both shoulders starts to circle around.

As a result, the flop's feet rose and a big spin began, and a pleasant laugh of brothers and sisters and children echoed in the hall.

"Sure, that's right...."

"Medium was worried about Flop, too.... so how long are you going to be dressed like that for? "

"You've said too much in your life!?No matter how cute I am, this is my first appearance... and it's my destiny to go back. "

"Are you still dressed like that?"

"It just so happens that I didn't have time to change!"

Something suspicious, physically speaking, is seen by Lem with the eyes of a pervert, and Subaru is not mentally tough enough to endure forever.

In fact, she is still dressed as a woman because she was chased by the meticulous work of burning the Imperial Flag and then welcoming the "people of Shdrak" who entered the city.

I just didn't allow the situation to change into Subaru.I never intentionally left Natsumi Schwartz.

"You don't have one?"

"Really? If it's Abel, it's the Commander and the back room."

"I don't think you believe me!"

Pointed at by Lem with his white eyes, Subaru turned his feet toward you.

I would like to congratulate Lem and everyone else on their success in opening the castle without blood, but I can't help but be thrilled to raise my hands defenselessly.

After all, Gural's fall is only a crossing point.We need to think about the upcoming civil unrest that will shake the Empire and what position Subaru will hold.

To that end...

"Excuse me."

With that voice, Subaru pushes open the door of the other room behind the hall.

It was supposed to have been a private room and an office room for the mayor, who was originally the owner of the city hall, but now the lord has been driven away and a replacement ruler is sitting in the chair.

Originally General Zuckle, but now there's a man more noble than that.

"You, are you still dressed like that?"

That said, it was Abel who had already taken off the dancer's costume and put his sleeve through the man's costume when he snorted his nose with his cheek cane on.

In front of him is Zuckle's head on his knees, and there is no one else in the room.

"Don't touch my outfit.Instead, you're alone with the two generals without an escort?Is there no limit to what you can do without telling me? "

"Of course, if this guy is willing to resist, let's point the sword at him.But he has no such intention.That's right, Zuckle Ottoman. "

"- Yes, sir."

When Abel snapped his chin and urged Zuckle to respond, he called Abel that.

Your Excellency, full of obvious respect, is evidence that he sees Abel not merely as a feminine hobbyist.

In other words, Zuckle understands Abel's nature and kneels here.

"Did you talk to him?"

"I didn't even have to talk about it. Apparently, this guy noticed it during the dance.No, exactly, after the dance, should I understand it with my head? "

――

I don't understand the meaning of the phrase, Subaru tilts his neck.

However, in the view of Abel, Zuckle sank his head more deeply, as if to show further respect.

Net, rarely felt, the fact that Abel is the emperor is a valuable person to recognize and show respect for.

"But it would be convenient if you didn't have to reveal it.Zuckle Ottoman, follow me. I can't let it go bad. "

"Ha! If it's for Your Excellency's sake, I will bet my life on this Zuckle Ottoman!"

"Wait, wait, are you serious!?You haven't heard anything yet!? "

Sitting on a chair, Zuckle summarily executed Abel for obedience to himself.

It is convenient, but the story is too good.But Zykl shook his neck wide to the side in response to Subaru's question.

"There is a lord in front of me, and he wants to be himself.Then it is the Empire's duty as "general" to respond to this.Above all, I would like to pledge my loyalty to you. "

"Oh, why? Are you so fascinated by my dance?"

"Great job, big guy.But that's not all. "

Without even smiling, Abel had a cold joke, and Zyckle's fever was strong.He pressed his fists against the floor, with a strong joy on his face.

"I didn't expect you to believe in my two names... even though you remembered the curse that was only dishonorable..."

"Of course. If you are the ruler of the Empire, you must unlock the land.The same goes for the subordinates who serve them.If I were a "general," I wouldn't know when I'd be my own limb.Do you think the Emperor's steps will not be disturbed without knowing his hands and feet? "

"Definitely not! That's why I'm honored from the bottom of my heart!"

Trembling with joy, Zuckle swears loyalty to Abel.

To be honest, it is a development that can be done too much just by looking at events, but Zuckle's side face is too intriguing, and Subaru can't find any room to doubt his inner feelings.

At the same time, Subaru was overwhelmed by Abel's charisma of refinement and strong pride and belief as the emperor behind it.

I don't know how many "generals" there are in the Empire, but even if Zuckle stands out in them, will you remember them until you are convinced that they will destroy the city?

Not to mention the possibility that another "general" would have entrusted the city to him, Abel was convinced that he would have drawn this result.

The Emperor assembled the operation after the opponent on the clouds knew himself, understood his strengths and weaknesses, and was defeated by his wisdom.

It may seem like a high school baseball pitcher who was home run by a longing professional baseball player.

By analogy, what actually happened was too much war.

Either way...

"If Zykl Othman obeys, I will follow the 'General' underneath.Together with the castle city, I can say that we have finally gathered a better strength. "

"Nevertheless, a lack of combat power is indispensable if we are to be extra.First of all, I think we should send reinforcements from the Imperial Capital, invite them into the city, and call for surrender. "

With the addition of personnel to strategize according to the circumstances of the Empire, the military council quickly turned into a full-fledged one.

Unlike Abel, who embraces it without resistance, Subaru is more resistant to the start of a full-scale war.I would therefore like to discuss the matter with Abel before proceeding.

About the treatment of Subaru and Rem after dropping the castle city.

Unfortunately, the story Subaru tried to bring to bear was not shared with me.

Because...

"--Reinforcement of Imperial Capital"

And the air in the room trembled as Abel murmured in response to a word from Zuckle.

In front of the Subaru, who watched Abel, he rose from his chair with great vigour and returned to the hall with a large crotch.

And then...

"- Close the main gate of the city now!Don't associate with the messenger! "

Abel barked so loudly that everyone in the hall was surprised.

Naturally, Abel's sincerity will not be conveyed to Mizelda and the other Subaru who talked to him until recently.

However, from Abel's desperate appearance, it was sufficient to conclude that it was not a mere matter.

"Tarita, Yuke, tell me to close the main gate."

"Ah, sister, what the hell...."

"--Yuke! You defame Shdrak!!"

Mizelda's voice, which made the conversation rough, struck the touring talita violently.

Tarita kept an eye on him as he even felt his intention to kill him, rushing from the hall to the outside.As it stands, Tarita will order the guards to close the main gate.

So Abel's instructions will be fulfilled.

"Mayor, what happened?It's unusual for you to change your bloodline. "

"I don't have time for your bullshit now, merchant.We need to prepare ourselves immediately.Convince the 'Generals', Zykl Othman.Mizelda, you guys.... "

"Uhhhh!!"

Treat the worried flops underneath and Abel flies around with instructions.

Zykl and Mizelda, Abel ordered the heads of their respective groups to put together their orders, but the instructions were halfway through and were blocked by the eclampsia of the tall children.

"Wah, wah, wah, where are you!?Louis, did something happen!? "

"Ugh! Uhh! Ahhhh!

"Lou, settle down, Kuk! Woo Ha Le!"

The hairdressing hair is pulled, and the medium turns its eyes in surprise.On his shoulders, Louis was desperately raising his voice, and Utakata was about to forgive him.

But Louis doesn't grow up when he gets violent.On the contrary, Louis was tearing apart and making his face look like he was afraid of something.

"Louis, calm down! What's the matter with you?If anything happens, I'll listen, so don't cry.... "

Wow!

"What? Is there something over there?"

Louis couldn't see him crying, and Lem headed under her.When he noticed the approaching lem, Louis pointed at the corner of the hall, weeping.

And Lem will look at you too.Subaru and Abel looked at you.But nothing. --Nothing, I'm sure.

Mizelda!

"Ohhhhhhh!!"

Looking at the void, Abel called out the name of Mizelda as soon as possible.

In response, Mizelda quickly held the back bow and grabbed the four arrows in his right hand, then grabbed it all the way to the bow and squeezed it.

An incredible blow from Mizelda's tough flesh, unleashed by Shdrak's chief.

Four arrows rush into the empty space pointed at by Louis.One shot of the arrow was reminiscent of a "Hunter" blow that killed Subaru in the woods.

That's why, if it's Subaru, it's incredibly powerful.

Floors and walls that are supposed to be stronger than arrows are crushed, and crushing sprays smoke into the hall.

As the fleeting soldiers breathed, Subaru wondered whether there was a cause for Louis' noise in the smokescreen.

"--Then I can't kill you."

Somewhere, a relaxed voice softly falls into the smoking hall.

I recognize that it was a woman's voice.Subaru's tympanic membrane judged it to be a relaxed, breathtaking, uneven, and low-volume voice.

In a situation of instantaneous urgency, it felt terribly out of place.

But the result of the voice was intense.

――――

--In an instant, Mizelda's whole body was swallowed by an incredible flame and burned.

△▼△▼△▼△

"─!!"

In an instant, Mizelda's body was wrapped in flames, and Mizelda raised her voice.

Everyone's actions were sealed by Mizelda's appearance as a cluster of humanoid flames.

"Holly!!"

"Ok, ok no!!"

Shortly afterwards, Kuna called and Holly jumped into a water bottle with a lot of water in it.Holly lifted it with pride and threw her full strength under Miserda's burning feet.

The water overflowing from the broken water bottle swallowed Mizelda and the burning girl fell to the floor.

The burning of the flame was instantaneous, but I can't imagine the pain of the whole body being roasted.

After all, Subaru was not keeping pace with the change in the situation.However, I noticed that there were more strangers in the center of the chaotic whirlpool hall.

Not only Subaru, but also the others gradually realized the figure.

--Standing there was a beautiful girl who revealed most of her brown skin.

A person with gray hair close to silver, an eyelid covering the left eye, and a tail characterized by a rich hairline from the buttocks, holding a branch that looks like it was picked up around the hand.

Emotional facial weakness is young and gives a very unbalanced impression when compared to feminine, undulating limbs.

But I have no doubt that this poor girl was the trigger for the last incident.

What you did, what you wanted, who you were, it's all unknown.

"- You, Arachia."

But as everyone froze, there was one person who knew the girl's name and called her.

Staring at Arachia, a girl with sharp, well-dressed eyes, is the emperor chased after the throne of the Holy Volachian Empire.

And Zikr immediately swore his oath of obedience, and he bathed it upright, but Arakia waved the branches in his hand to the right and to the left without tension.

My lord, it's been a long time.

"Looks like you're in trouble, too.― ― Chisha also makes a relentless imitation.

"I won't, because it's dangerous."

It's a nervous conversation, but it's only seen from the Arabian side.

Even if it makes sense, Abel's stretched expression suggests that he is not the one who can hope to improve the situation.

In the first place, after recognizing Abel as the emperor, who would treat her with such ease?

"Alachia, General...."

"... what did you just say?"

Subaru pulls his cheeks to the squeezed words of Zuckle, two people lined up in the stream.

I wanted it to be a mistake, but Zuckle's eyes, sweating on his face, were serious, and Subaru felt the disappearance of the possibility of his hearing mistakes.

And Zuckle piles up to prove that it's not an illusion.

"One of the Arabian generals... one of the Empire's most powerful 'nine gods' generals!"

"It is also the 'sacrifice' of the nine gods.- That means the Empire will be the second from above. "

"Empire, both of you...!?"

The scream of Zuckle was supplemented by Abel's words, and Subaru screamed without repair.

At the center of the hall's astonishment, Arakia raised a branch,

Alright.

And bragging.

――――

Shdrak, gathered in the main hall, begins to build a siege fence, centered on the tortuosity and its arachia.Mizelda fell in the first place, and the remaining 17 Shdraks, including Utakata, a non-combatant, are not sure if they have enough combat power.

It's just...

"Are you finally getting in the way of this victory!"

With that cursed spit, Subaru picked up one of the swords he seized.

Drive them back, drive them away, and catch them with a slap.Whatever you do, whatever you do, make sure you win this Guaral Fall.

"Even if you work hard, it's no use."

The next moment, an incredible wind twisted the entire hall, and Subaru, Shdrak, and the captive Imperial Soldiers were all stirred together.

――――

The heavens and the earth flipped over, making it impossible to see up, down, left, right, or behind the front, and Subaru threw his whole body on the floor, against the wall, against the ceiling, causing him to feel intense pain.

"Is that it?"

The brain slowly advances its analysis and understanding as it looks at the broken ceiling as it throws its whole body over the ground to see what happened.- Probably a tornado.

Indoors, in an instant, a massive tornado broke out, and it swallowed up the Subaru - no, they just violently spit out.

No distinction was made between people, objects, enemies or allies, and Arabian tornadoes ravaged the interior.

Still, Subaru barely lost consciousness -

"I can't let you hurt me anymore..."

As he moaned, it was Zuckle who held Subaru in his arms.

The moment the tornado struck, Zuckle quickly pulled the Subaru's body and tried to protect it from the impact of destruction.Just a little whisper, but with his body cushioned, Subaru didn't lose consciousness.

But...

"You're lying...."

Looking at the ruined hall, Subaru vomited in despair.

In the hall, where people and things have been muddled, the Shdraks, who had been raising their wars until now, are all lying on the ground and being driven out of combat.

Instead, what shows hostile intentions is a state of intense damage.

I wonder if the Arabian tornado even chose the target to attack, with so much destruction.

"--Beep, Beep"

Suffering from general pain, Subaru looks for Lem in the hall.

She may also be in a coma from the same attack as the Schdraks.If the place is bad, it can be considered the worst.

So Subaru looked indoors and found it.

It's not a lemon. Not Rem, but it caught Subaru's eye.

Because even after being ravaged by a tornado, he stood up on his feet and fled to the semi-destructed balcony, staring at Arachia with his back on the handrail.

"Abel...."

Abel suffered minimal damage to how he protected himself during that tornado - but he still bled from his forehead and lowered one arm in pain.

However, Abel looked straight at Arachia with his undiminished eyes.

"The arrogant doll imitates a great deal.Have you forgotten what you joined me for? "

"... sir, I lied. I was deceived. So I won't forgive you."

― ― Is that Chisha's wisdom too?

Slightly lowered his eyes, Abel exhaled a heavy, blood-colored breath.

In a face scarce in emotional ups and downs, Arachia nevertheless had a discernible anger in her eyes, slowly stepping down on the rough ground and making her way to Abel on the balcony.

No, I didn't run into the balcony to dress up, but I don't think Abel was injured and had a hand in retrieving it.

As it stands, it looks like Abel's life is counting down in his footsteps, one step at a time.

One step, two steps, Arachia approached Abel, and...

"Uhhhhhhh!!"

A loud voice rises, and shortly afterwards, the pillar collapses into the position where Arachia is about to pass.

The stone shattered, the roar broke, and a primitive mass weapon that would not descend hundreds of kilometers hit Arabia.

It was Lem who was hiding behind the pillars and watching the timing.

Lem, who was swallowed by the tornado but remained conscious and hidden behind the pillars, was probably visible from Abel's position.He concealed the signs and pushed down the pillars in time with Abel's gaze as Arachian advanced.

The last attack you can hit in this situation, utilizing the Rigidity of Lem.

That's not what you're aiming for, but you're crushing Arachian luxury -

Yeah?

"- No way."

Under Arachian feet, which did not even look at it, the floor deformed like a candy workmanship, supporting the pillar that stretched and collapsed, and hardened again.

I feel like I've seen the completion of avant-garde art from the beginning.

Rather than reaching Arachia, Lem's body did not even distract his consciousness.

And Arachia turns back to Lem, kneeling at the root of the broken pillar.And when she saw Lem, she opened her eyes round,

"Ah, a demon. Unusual."

"Are you...?"

"... don't disturb me. I don't want to hurt my people."

"Companions...?"

Regardless of what you are saying, Lem's face becomes red with anger.

But sadly, anger is just emotion, and the will to resist is just empty, because there is a difference in isolated power from the opponent.

Lem reaches out to the rubble and now throws it to show his intent to attack.

But Arachia shaken the branches that she had, and caused the wind to blow away the debris that was around Lem.

Literally, the roots. Not just the debris of the floor, but the walls and ceilings behind the lem and the parts that make up the upper floors of the building blow up one by one.

"Because I'm not good at strength reduction. You're flying too."

"Then why don't you do it?This is all I have to do, and what more do I hesitate to do? That's not true.... "

"... I'm sorry."

The answer of Lem, who swallowed his teeth, dropped his shoulders softly.

But behind that cute manners, Arachian behavior is harsh and simple.The branches are slowly lifted and different dimensions of the phenomenon crush the presence of the lem.

--That could not have been acceptable to Natsuki Subaru.

"Ah, ahhhhhh!!"

With the shouting, the body of Subaru moves away from the pain in his body.

At this moment alone, everything was in the way, both of the fears and the unseen anxiety.

Abandon thoughts, move forward with instinct, and interrupt in front of Lem and Arachia.

At least try to protect her from the destruction that was supposed to hit Lem.

I'm glad you're dead. If I could protect Lem, I could have died.

It was true that I didn't want to die, and it was Natsuki Subaru's cursed destiny to ruin everything if he died, or die here.

She dressed up as a woman, even made a fake breast, and put makeup on her face, wigs on her head, and ingenuity to make her skin look white. Natsuki Subaru confronted the girl with the desire to exhale blood in such a funny figure that she wanted such beauty.

― ―

Cover Lem and spread your hands.

I noticed that Subaru split in front of me and found Lem breathing.

But there is no answer to what she thought or felt about Subaru's behavior.The opportunity doesn't come.

It was quickly taken away before the destruction called Arabia -

"--What a ridiculous stand.But it's not bad. "

It was a voice in Subaru's ear that was ready to take everything away and leave nothing behind.

Subaru, who was closing his eyes and trying to catch the end of the visit, took a breath when he realized that none of the causes of heat, loss, pain, suffering, and thirst, roughly 'death', had hit his flesh.

Then slowly open your eyes and look at it.

Subaru covered his back with his hands open.--Someone's back is in front of the Subaru.

Not in arachia, no. Arachia stands behind her back.I stunned at his face and saw him standing still.

The presence that brought the surprise to Arachia knocks down and looks back at all the destruction that was supposed to rush against it with a red and shining sword in his right hand.

Honorable, arrogant, red eyes confident that everything in the world will kneel at their feet.

It was impossible to face each other on the spot when he held his arms and mocked his face, which embodied his cruel beauty.

"A-ah"

Subaru just takes a breath at the appearance of an impossible being.

Looking at such a Subaru, the Lord of Beauty, who revealed the letter "Red", snorted his nose.

And then...

"You don't have to name it, fool.You should call me your concubine. "

That said, she - Priscilla Barrier - had a bloody smile on her face.
