Section Two: Readiness

Zuzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!

Two hours after the Flummy started blasting over the sand. The end point of the desert - the city of Fretelli, surrounded by high sandproof walls, began to be seen across the sand spreading like a sea plain. A white spire of the church stands at the highest point of the city, unleashing an international presence in the darkness of the night.

"What about Quadriga?!?

Toslin is the one who puts his foot on the edge of the bow and stares at it. Carol said as he stuck to its back and gazed at it as well, not to fall off the rocking ship.

"There he is, up there. Look, over there. You're looking down the city with the moon on your back."

At the tip of Carol's finger, there was certainly a quadriga dripping a long stretched tail with wings flapping. A body covered in silver scales plays moonlight and can be seen glowing demonically from a distance.

"You're attacking the city!?

Kick the waves of sand, the fiercely rocking Flammy. That's what I shouted as I curled my hair around my body to make sure Laplice didn't shake it off.

"Wait a minute..."

Carol puts her hands next to her raised ears and tries to pick up the sound from the city.

"Awesome wind sounds and the sound of buildings collapsing. You hear more screaming. Well, I think if that thing suddenly shows up, everyone's gonna panic."

After all, the evacuation hasn't been completed yet.

He said it would take a while to prepare the ship.

"Then in the worst case scenario, don't fight in the city while protecting the inhabitants."

"I wish I could steer Quadriga out of town somehow..."

Zuzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz When the city of Fretelli was clearly visible to the naked eye, Mr. Peachsheaths, who was climbing the watchtower, called Carol.

"Carol, there... you see? South side of the city. There's something black on the beach..."

The Swinging Flummy. Mr. Peachsheath cleverly pushes a telescope against one eye on the watchtower at its highest position.

"Which one? Mm-hmm? Hey, can I borrow that?

Carol climbs up to the watchtower with Sulsulu in his hand and peeks in.

"Wow. Moss Frog. Lots of that too."

"Huh? Moss Frogg!?

An unexpected word popped out of Carol's mouth and I was accidentally turning my voice upside down.

(Why the Moss Frog? No, more than that...... so that means Mossfrog and Quadriga are attacking the city at the same time?

The city of Fretelli is on the point of connection between the river and the sea, above the delta. On the west side of the city is Anne Libretta, and on the south side is a sandy beach and a huge harbour using the Cape. According to reports by Carol and Mr. Peachsheaths, they are landing continuously across the city from the sandy beach on the south side. You think that number is more than a hundred even if you estimate it less?

"Oh, there's one more piece of bad news for you."

Carol came down from the lookout table with a sultry rope.

"I don't want to hear it, but you have to hear it."

Toslin urged, Carol pointed in a certain direction and said.

"Moss Frog ate me, and the sand walls are collapsing by the way. Especially over there. Looks like a lot of them went in from there."

When I narrow my eyes so as to stare in Carol's direction, it does look like there's a hole in the sand wall on the southeast side. And even as the black dots continue toward it. If it's all Moss Frog, we have to block that hole as soon as possible.

"Captain, can you do me a favor and get us down near that place? After that, I don't mind you leaving."

Saluena said that to Mr. Kutuna, who holds the rudder. She's already taken off her sand removing robe so she can start the fight at any time. Toslin or Carol if you look at it. And the same goes for Ritzereich.

"Iris."

Your sister called for me. Looking back, put your shield on. Come on. I rush over to help with it as usual.

"I have said it many times..."

"Never leave the side, right?

When I said that while supporting my shield, your sister stopped her hand putting her belt through the fitting and looked at me. And a little, but I let that mouth down.

"Yeah, I am. You seem to understand, above all else. But..."

When your sister finished fixing the shield, she gently poked my forehead with that hand.

"I don't take people's lines."

"Oh, sorry"

I apologize in a hurry. Then your sister turned her hand around my waist this time, pulling in gleefully. Even under this moonlight, my face is so close that I can clearly see the expression, and I am thrilled. And sooner than I opened my mouth to say something, your sister's lips were pressed against my forehead.

"May you have the blessing of the goddess Ilua"

I was in Auschnell. I remember the first time I was kissed on the forehead in a carriage. So, my face got a little hot when I said this was the situation. I'm glad it's night now. Because if it was bright, my cheeks would surely be reddish and I would have been teased around Toslin.

"... thank you. May your sister also have the guidance of Lord Illua."

After I gave it back, I got a little lost. Because I felt that words alone could not convey my prayers.

Your sister also stands on the arrow side of the enemy in my place. In the battle against Sands Wands, he was wounded by his body more than once.

By praying, some power works by wishing, and if the crisis falls on your sister diminishes... I wanted to at least tell her that perfectly.

So I kissed your sister's cheek. While compensating for the missing upper back (wow) by being ahead of the nail.

Your sister looked a little surprised, but she immediately said "thank you" and gently stroked my head.

"No, I can't do that."

I hear Mr. Kutuna, and we turn to you. Mr. Kutuna, who held the steering wheel, was seen shaking his neck to the side towards Saluena.

"But you're gonna be surrounded if you stay on the spot? I'm not underestimating the power of your Lord, but if we're surrounded by all that, we'll swallow it without a minute."

"So we can't just run away."

"Oh, yeah, yeah! We have to repay you!!

"So we're going to do everything we can."

Mr. Kutuna galloped and turned the steering wheel. The Flummy then tilts the hull guzzly and swirls to the left.

In that direction, there is the big hole Carol pointed to earlier. Thanks to being closer than I was earlier, I can see clearly now that I don't have to stare anymore. There's a bunch of moss frogs flocking to the collapsed sand walls and trying to get inside as they push each other. And there's people standing on sand walls, trying to somehow repel monsters.

And over it is a snake wrapped in a silver scale that plays the moonlight. Quadriga has a rusty iron rubbing up his ambition, and he is dancing in the night sky as he wraps up strong winds. Each time, the roofs of the houses collapse and fragments splash.

"Master..."

Even if the seal is broken, Master Griselda, Mr. Woff's master, remains stoned and imprisoned by Quadriga. Mr. Woff's current state of mind, which has been awaiting reunion for five hundred years, is beyond observation. But......

"Mr. Woff......"

I can't have the words to speak to her. Before her now, no word or act makes sense. If only it meant one thing, that would only be to make him reunite with his master.

For that reason, we will burst into Fretterli.

But... is that it? Even though we're in a hurry, what about this speed? We'll be arriving at the sand wall soon, and if so, shouldn't it be time to slow down?

"Keep your sails up!! Full speed forward!!

But Mr. Kutuna ordered the sailors to do so. A sail with plenty of cold night breeze pushes the back of the ship and the speed is increasing.

"Ha!? Ha!? Hey, are you insane, Kutuna!? Keep going..."

That's the situation. There's no way Laplice can keep quiet. Advice He made a hybrid face out of my hair and shouted in a loud voice with no wind cutting sound or anything.

"Yes, I'm going in like this"

"I'm going in... you..."

"It's a one-stone, two-bird way to kick a crowd of monsters and block holes as well. There's no hand to not use here."

But if you do that, this Flummy... Those words came out, but I swallowed them. Mr. Kutuna understands that without having to tell me. I know a lot more about ships than I do.

"The enemy noticed!! A few big ones are coming this way!!

Mr. Peach Seeds screams. In contrast, Ms Kutuna's instructions were very concise.

"Keep the needle!! It doesn't matter if the target is a chunk of rock! Crush it and move on!!

Just brief, even I can tell. That's a hell of a thing.

There are more than ten Moss Frogs on their way here. All of them are individuals big enough to exceed my back length. If you get hit by them, you won't be safe with how the bow is the most robust building on the hull...... should be.

"Penetrate, munch, whoa!!

"Kick your ass, Flammy!!

But Kutuna originally has no grief for Mr. Peachseeds, Plumsees, or any of Mr. Lambrick's men. Rather, he manipulates the ship alive. I even have a grin on my face.

"Ha, speaking of which, the sailors here are ex-... no, you're still a pirate now. Pirate to the adventurer. They come together in one place, reckless. Is there any sense in that?"

Even Ritzereich laughed, and I'm kind of having fun too... there's no way it's going to be.

"Ohh, sister!?

I don't even have time to summon unicorns now. I cling to my sister in desperate shape.

"Though I thought you were dear, I knew Mr. Kutuna was an adventurer too"

"Or not if you're impressed. Yikes!

"That's right, Rosé!! What a joke to have about a shoreline in the desert!!

The Flummy rocked heavily after a while as me and Laplice held onto my sister as she semi-cryed.

Dogggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!!

"Gaaaaaaaaaa!!

"Kyah!?

Heavy shocks from below echoed several degrees, with Laplice and me screaming.

Bali, Bali, Bali, Gali, Gali!!

Every time you blow a moss frog, there's a noise coming from the bottom of the ship. It can't be seen from here, but it's definitely got to be outrageous.

"Ha ha!?

Now I had lateral swings and couldn't stand anymore, I crouched in while clinging to my sister's hips.

"Whoa!! Isn't this sound... yuck!? Wouldn't fall apart before we got to the city!?

No one answers Laplice's question. Just uniformly everyone looks forward and sees the city of Fretelli being destroyed. Especially Mr. Lambrick's men, who can still pop up. That's right. Because our city is being attacked by monsters.

They're already weaved in, like, dangerous or nasty or something. On top of that, you've already decided to be ready.

Seeing it, I arouse courage. Not if you're saying you can't stand. You have to stand up and fight. And if there's anything you can do, you should do it. And we should do it... now.

I took a big breath. And I kissed the ring that was embedded in my left pinky finger.

"Ya...... break the commandments of this world!!

At that moment, the ring emitted a blue lightning bolt, turning it into a pure white magic guide.
