"War"
The king who called Mitsuha on the Sabine flight said suddenly.
What suddenly …….
"So I want Sabine to evacuate to another country."
Puah, is that something?
"I refuse!"
The king and the minister, open mouth.
"Because it's a store that I made a lot of money and struggled to build. Throwing away is the last resort."
"No, just an evacuation just in case, and you can return as soon as the war ends."
"Evacuation because it may not happen?"
The king silences in Mitsuha's words.
"Anyway, I'll protect the store myself. In the event of an emergency, the entire store will self-destruct."
"Suicide bomb? What is it?"
Pia, because there is no bomb, why don't you go through a self-destruction? It's different from self-destruction.
I don't want to commit suicide even if I say suicide. For example, you can transfer to a deserted area of the earth like a shop, acquire land in some country here and re-transfer.
I can do it, about every transfer. It's easy. It just makes the whole store disappear and pretend it's dead. So it's okay to stick to the last minute. The information is very slow and there are no pictures, and if you use a different name in a distant country, you will probably not get bored, maybe.
After a few years, it is considered safe to grow because it seems that it is already growing. I'm sorry, I don't grow anymore, I'm already 18 years old.
After all, I refused and returned. I don't want to be involved in war.
Yeah, but in the unlikely event Sabine will do something. Sabine with high forward stress could go anywhere. In other countries, on the earth.
I went back to the store and thought a lot. No customers come. The story of the war has already flowed. It can't be kept secret, and it doesn't make sense. There is no way you can hide a large number of army guards, call convoys or collect food and other munitions.
Some time ago, the social season ended, and many of the nobles returned to their territories. Beatrice returned with the Counts, reluctantly. Nobles who leave the management of their territory to their sons or subordinates, or noble lords who have no territory, have settled in the royal capital. It takes time to recruit troops.
According to the King's story, he thought that it smelled bad, but he never thought that his neighbor would take action so soon. They seemed to expect the situation to continue for another few years, both in terms of force and finances. Neither was so distressed or impatient with each other. He didn't have enough odds and was wondering what he was going to do.
But the amazing information that came there. Neighboring countries seem to add demons to their troops. And betrayal of several nobles who have territories near the border. It should have stopped the enemy and earned time to help recruit your own troopsBecause a lord near the border betrayed, the enemy soldiers marched in a short time without encountering resistance, and then suddenly attacked without any prior information It seems that they are rapidly approaching the royal capital, dispelling the local lord who can not resist.
Both horses and humans are sending orders to each place by courier service that is being replaced one after another. I didn't. Aside from betrayal, it is impossible to understand why a monster who can not communicate with the neighboring army is acting together.
Pu-um, hopeless? I'm clogged, already. If tsundere still.
Pia, the county of Bozes is on the other side of the enemy's progress. Because it faces the sea at the very end of the country, is it safe or not in time?
The army's speed is much slower than that of a horse-drawn carriage, but the enemy army still seems to be a little farther to the royal capital. Well, it takes time for the information from the guards to come, so why not help? Ummm ...
Ok, I decided. Let's go to the Royal Palace. If there is anything, you can come back immediately by transit through the earth. Anyway, information is important. And I want to be with Sabine-chan. I'll go with full equipment.
3 guns on the blade vest. A knife, a dagger, and a spare magazine. The shop's security system is set to absolute defense mode. When someone enters the building, smoke and fireworks will rise, and you'll know immediately wherever I am in the capital city. Alright, departure!
When we arrived at the Royal Palace, we could easily put something in. Eh, is that okay?
Pia, do you remember my face, and did the King tell me to come in when I came, is that so? Thankfully let me pass through and inside.
No, don't go to the king. It's been a long time since we met, and it's going to be hard.
For the time being, look for Sabine-chan. You can't find it, but you have to ask someone. Nothing but a suspicious person is hungry in the Royal Palace to find the princess's whereabouts, yeah. It's hard to hear.
I was caught by the Minister of Justice while hanging around.
The king seems to be busy. I thought she would take me to Sabine-chan, but she was forced to go to somewhere and was forced to go somewhere. That's not "I want to go out", it's "Get out!" So, what is an interesting meeting where I go out? Business related? Is it like purchasing supplies?
Is it a military conference?
The meeting room brought in. Twenty or more people are sitting in simple chairs facing the front, and some great people are sitting in this direction with long tables on the front. Eh, do you pull before that? That's fine at the back! Look, great people are looking at cancer.
"Presiding Minister, the girl?"
Hey.
"This is Mitsuha."
"Oh, that ..."
No, what is "that" and what is "that". What are you listening to?
"Mitsuha!"
A man who suddenly rises and runs up. Open your arms openly, don't hug me!
Pudsu!
Yeah, it went right. The gift of the captain's guidance.
A man who eats a body blow on his stomach and falls down ... that's Alexis.
"Hi, terrible ..."
Alexis protests with tears while being laughed at.
When did you get to know each other in public? No, not even in public.
After receiving the courier service, Earl Bozes immediately prepared for his soldiers and apparently sent his eldest son, Alexis, to the Imperial City first with the title of acting lord as a intelligence and contact person. Oh, responsibility is serious. So are you at a meeting like this? It's quite a front seat. It's a representative of the Earl Count.
It is said that he traveled over Hayama for only three days, and when he arrived, he was sloppy. The Earl's headquarters will take another seven days. Well, it's walking on heavy equipment, but is it still early? What is commonly referred to as "forced march". A guy who can't quite do it.
Eventually, I was seated long ago and the meeting started. No, it's not the center but the edge.
The agenda will progress one after another, such as reporting on the current situation, combining the latest information, and forecasting enemy movements. The enemy arrives at the royal capital tomorrow night. It was thought that he would take a rest and start capturing the royal capital at dawn the next day.
About 20,000 enemy soldiers. Three thousand are goblins, oaks, ogres, and other "monsters." Friend is about 2,000. The troops dispatched to gain time will no longer count.
Once again, the strategy is Kajo. The royal army, guards, guards and mercenaries defend the royal capital until the lords come from all over. The commander is Marquis Eivlinger in the middle of the great men in front.
It is said that he is a young warrior who is close to the age of elders but he wielded a big two-handed sword at the front line until he inherited the title from his father, everyone is trusted, and it is said that other commanders can not think of other commanders It seems.
While allocating a specific arrangement, a soldier looking quite tired was guided by a security guard and passed through the room. Short sword on left hip with iron armor.
"A messenger! I will report the situation of the enemy army!"
Declare loudly, open a large leather bag from your shoulder and put your hands.
Mitsuha's body moved without permission. Gets up from the chair and jumps in front of Marquis Eiblinger. First of all, the body moves and thinking comes later.
`` If you're a weird long-range messenger, wear a lightly-skinned armor report, don't have any disturbing luggage, be nervous in front of a great person, be too nervous, run too bloody, your eyes too large If you shoot your eyes, you will hit the person behind you Oh, you're dead, but if you're dead, you have to stop confusion if you're a Marquis.
Mitsuha is ready to receive everything with his body like a keeper of a handball.
Although the body moved without permission, there was no regret. Perhaps, even if you think slowly, the result would be the same. Because I'm Mitsuha. Because it is Yamano Hikari!
Someone jumped in front of Mitsuha, shortly before launching, holding a specially constructed one that could launch five arrows at a time in a shape similar to a bowgun, a small twin bow taken out of the bag by a commander.
Don!
Mitsuha fell down behind due to the burning sensation and shock running on his left shoulder. And a man who falls over his body. A small ammunition pierced into his right shoulder and abdomen.
When the assassin realizes that the ammunition did not reach the target, he passes the short sword and runs straight to the marquis. Many people had their swords removed because of the simple chairs in the narrow meeting room inside the castle, and no one could respond immediately.
Mitsuha pulls 93R with his right hand and sticks forward with his trembling left hand. There is a burning sensation on the left shoulder, but there is no pain as to whether adrenaline or dopamine is overflowing in the brain. But the trembling of the left arm does not stop. Mitsuha fell on her back on the floor. An assassin running around with a short sword. Angled, missed bullets hit the ceiling. All right!
Daddy bread, Daddy bread, Daddy bread!
Three shots were fired three times, and the assassin's body fell backward.
The calm room. Nobody speaks, nobody moves.
"... Mitsuha, Kimi, as a knight, pass me ..."
"Alexis!"
Alexis speaks weakly.
"... No, it's no good!"
"""""Whaaaaaaaat!!"""""
The men in the room rushed into my heart.
(((((That ’s no good !!!!!)))))
"Hey, this is it! I have one stick on my left shoulder.
"my mother…"
Alexis droops without force.
"But I accept my efforts. I'm not a rejector and I'm not disqualified. Let's expect it next time."
"Next time ...?"
"Yes, next time."
(((Do you bring it !!!!!)))
Everyone is impressed.
But the veterans knew. That there will be no next time.
Right shoulder is good. But that abdominal wound. It's okay now, but that stomach rot will rot. That courageous young man will suffer and die in a few days. That's a shame ...
The young man closed his eyes, probably because of pain.
"AHA"
"Aha, ahahahahahahahahaha!"
Mitsuha suddenly started laughing and everyone was terrified.
(Don't you go crazy because of fear and sorrow!)
"I weighed myself. I weighed myself."
What are you saying?
"Let's not let this world's progress go crazy. Serious people don't break themselves. Well, we did a little too much, but we were quite weighed down. The result was this ... I'm almost dying and I can't protect my neighbors.
I don't understand what you mean, but do you regret it?
"I've stopped. I've stopped already!
I'll show you my seriousness! "
"Marquis Eiblinger will return by dawn tomorrow. Please leave no items in the courtyard and no people enter after tomorrow night."
"Oh, oh, it doesn't matter ... but what are you going to do?"
Mitsuha answered Marquis' question.
"I will prepare you for an invincible army, and at dawn tomorrow the enemy soldiers will know."
Mitsuha smiled with a smile.
"The true meaning of the words fear and despair. And that hell is in this world."
At the next moment, Mitsuha disappeared. With courageous young people.
Podon!
Home base of the mercenary corps Wolffang. This area is quite large due to low land costs. One room of a two-story building at the end, a recreation room. The captain, who was playing billiards with a cigarette in his mouth, was stiff with his eyes open with a queue.
Suddenly appearing in the air several tens of centimeters above the billiard table, falling down on the table, and hugging a young man.
"No, no, no! No ball! No bite!"
Yes, it hurts more than the one stuck on the shoulder ...
"A doctor. I became my shield, do not die."
Sign the young man with a chin. He starts to arrange for a doctor immediately, and he stops bleeding with first aid. I do not pull the arrow because it bleeds when I pull it out. I don't know what the arrowhead looks like. Well, I'll do something if I keep my body up and protect her life. Everyone probably thinks so.
But you can't just pass one. She was injured. Will you shrink later?
Other people have gathered.
"Captain. You said you didn't do any big work for a while."
"Ah"
Jo-chan smiled with a fearless smile.
"I want to hire the entire mercenary Wolffang. The sortie is before dawn tomorrow. The enemy is about 20,000, including monsters. ? "
Poga-chan
Someone dropped the glass. It's a guy with a small liver.
There is nothing in your hands to moisturize your thirst.
Well, dropped it, me?
"What, what, Miss?"
"Yeah, what?"
"First, let's go to the hospital and pull out that arrow."
