The Best Assassin, Incarnated into a Different World’s Aristocrat
Episode XIII: Assassins Try Special Attacks
I was out on a picnic.
Tart is walking in a good mood with a basket.
I've been making lunches in the early morning and I'm looking forward to eating them now.
"After all, cooking. I guess I'll remember too. You've earned a lot of points for the tart."
"As far as I'm concerned, I want Dia to work harder on her magic research than she can learn to cook."
"That's right! Dear Dia doesn't have my standing when she cooks."
"... Tart, that's not what I meant."
"I can't help it. Then I'll leave the food to the tarts. I have to earn points for magic in my area of expertise. Yes, this."
"New magic."
"That's right. Lug asked me to. Until now, I've made more powerful sorcery and more complex sorcery, but faster sorcery. I've been thinking about magic specializing in speed. I compressed the information to its limits and established it in a short procedure. It's simple magic and not accurate, but it's fast and user-friendly anyway."
"I appreciate it. I don't care about magic in action, it's hard to use."
Magic has chants.
It is very difficult to perform chants while in melee combat.
In real life, it's almost unusable except for some magic such as wind armor.
The wind armor that Tart loves can put together the wind armor that moves as he wishes, so he can finish the chant before the battle and benefit from it for a while.
But most magic doesn't.
Originally, it was the wizard's style to complete the chant while having the avant-garde protect it, and it may be impossible to use magic in close proximity.
... I just wanted to do something about it.
To this end, Dia and I have been researching a lot, one of which is magic dedicated to speed.
Decrypt Dia's ceremony.
I compressed the ceremony to the extreme. I even thought it was artistic and beautiful.
What taste. I can't put this together.
"Nice ceremony. Let's make it a new magic with my [something to weave the ceremony]."
"Huh, what three lines. We can activate it in a second."
"Right."
I train my tongue for fast chanting and can chant much faster than a regular person.
If it's just three lines of magic ceremony, it can be activated in a second, no less.
This could be done in battle. It's in the utility.
"I'm afraid it's a fire attribute. Not for me."
"Tart's got wind armor, okay?"
"That can also be used in action by starting chanting in a low voice before the battle begins, but once it's solved, I'm hopeless to call back."
So is that.
That was just powerful magic, and the chanting time was long.
I look at Dia's face like she wants a tart.
"Okay, I'll put together a wind procedure for you, too. But instead, bake the cake again.... Tart cakes are strangely delicious even though they don't use expensive ingredients. Even though the technology isn't better than our pastries."
"Uh, is that because you have a lot of love?
"Why are you doubtful?"
Tart and Dia laugh at each other.
Indeed, the tart baked cake is delicious.
Even though the ingredients and cooking methods are normal, it tastes very relaxing.
"Still, this mountain is easy to walk. Perfect for a picnic."
"Yes, we have a good road."
"Around here, it's used in marches. Well maintained."
Climbing a mountain without people's hands is terribly tiring.
There is no road-like path, and I cannot go much further without paying off the grass.
In that regard, this mountain may be provided with roads.
"It's time to get off the road. From here on out, it can't be like this. But at the end of the beast path, there's a good place."
"This is why you said no servant clothes. If I go in here with that clothes, I'll hook you up with skirts and everything."
"Right. These clothes are easy to move around."
All three of them wore towaharde battle clothes and weaved robes from above.
It is less exposed and has a shape that sticks to the body, making it easy to trample the beast path.
Fold the robe, pack it in your bag, and move on.
I took the lead, slitting the trees in the way with a knife, and I went where I wanted to be.
"Wow, that's a beautiful river plain. Very spacious. You'll be soothed by the sound of water."
"You can run all you want here."
"Oh, that's why I chose this place. Let's have a tummy first." "Yes, I'll spread your lunch."
The tart lays the seat and opens the basket.
Today was a big pie.
When I cut it, a meat-filled meat sauce appeared from the stomach. Looks really good.
Dine the pie you cut.
"Today, I've baked meat pie"
"Sounds delicious. But if you do, it'll taste better."
Dia uses witchcraft and warms the meat pie.
Magic of flame attributes, but magic that heats the subject from the inside without the use of flames.... this is what Dia made me too.
It is originally for assassination and a very useful thing that you can kill if you touch it without sound.
"Oh, only Dear Dia is sloppy. Warm mine up, too."
"Mine too, please... this kind of interaction, it's happened before"
It weaves a ceremony, and because I'm making it magical, I can use it, too, but I'm not sure I can do the subtle control.
Probably, it gets too warm.
"You can't help it. Yes, go ahead."
"Wow, what a luxury to cook hot outside. Dear Dia is amazing after all."
"The tart meat pie is amazing too. This one's fine. Crisp, with a luxurious sauce of tomatoes and beef. I can't wait to get some melted cheese out of the back. It tastes rich."
"It's hiccup. Why, it's surprisingly cheap. Tomatoes, too, were grown in school, and I got them for free."
On holidays, the dining room is closed and there is no food distribution.
This is how I thank Tart for making something cheap and delicious.
"Speaking of which, Lug. Are you glad you didn't see that kid?
I guess what Dia is saying is about Epona.
These two are taught that Epona is being targeted by assassins.
"You saw a mock fight with me. There's nothing first that can kill that one. Besides, I asked Neusch to watch. That's before it was built.... exposed the gap and set the trap. If it works, it'll hook me up."
There were traces and signs of it, but I'm not moving into action just because I'm watching the distant windings.
I guess it's because he's a prudent assassin.
But if you show a gap like this, it might work.
"I hope you're thinking about it properly."
"Of course."
Like I told Dia, I'm not worried about Epona getting killed. Rather, the main objective is to secure the experimental bench necessary to give the tart the eye of the tower hade.
"Shall we begin, then? Dia, I wrote down as many procedures as I did earlier. Try this."
"Yeah, I'll try. Fast magic that can be used at close range... look"
Dia chants.
"[Instant flame]"
The chant ended in less than a second and the flames erupted.
It's just super hot with strong magic in it.
It would be easy enough to burn people to death.
"Yeah, just letting the flames go. It spreads quickly because it's not converging, but it's instant anyway. It's as powerful as it can be with magic."
"Right, convenient. I don't care what position you're in, I'd like to let you go."
For example, you can use a situation where you can't get out of shape with a slash with a sword and avoid the next attack, where you can punch a flame over it.
I can't imagine a magic activated in less than a second.
If you see it for the first time, you can guess it unconditionally.
"You've developed good sorcery"
I tried it myself, but it's very user-friendly.
I tried my best to be magical, but it's pretty firepower.
Short range is a weakness, but acceptable.
"When I saw that, I thought again. I, too, want this kind of magic. With this wind virgin, it may be more user-friendly than blowing your opponent, rebuilding your posture, accelerating at once, or flaming"
I agree with that.
Similar in use to wind armor, but more immediate activation.
"Well, leave it to me. I'll make the wind too. I can't use it, but Tart and Lug are going to use it well. Well, my magic experiment is over. It's Lug's turn next."
"Right. Let's just say I show off my special moves.... I've been thinking about magic bags, how to use them. In the end, I went to make the most of the fact that I could carry as many weapons as I wanted. My [shooting], for example. It takes time to create a gun, put a bullet in it, and use explosive magic."
"Right, but with a magic bag, the activation will be shorter because you can carry it with the ammo packed from the beginning. But that's not plain."
"If that's all. But I told you. He said he could carry as much as he wanted. So I can do this."
Cut off the magic power I was supplying to the magic bag.
Then the different spaces contracted and the contents were smashed all at once.
It was the tank cannon size, for [shelling], not [shooting], that's twenty too. All the cannons contained foul stones with magic to their extremes.
If you don't care about size, you should make it a more powerful cannon, and if you increase the number, it will increase your attack power.
It releases magic and puts the foul stones of every cannon removed into a critical breakthrough state.
There was a noise and signs of foul stones flying.
In addition, complete the magic that has been chanting since just now.
"[Magnetic manipulation]"
A force field using magnetic force, which controls the orientation of all the cannons, twenty cannons fixed in the air begin to roar.
It's something I'm used to, with my ears blocked and my mouth half-opened, without Dia or Tart advising me.
"Synchronize!"
Twenty [shells] were unleashed at the exact same time.
Power and range incomparable to a single shot.
Across the river the shore turns into scorched earth.
It's a big success.
... There's just one computational difference, I'm going to fix it in the air and shoot it, but I can't stand the recoil, and the cannons are all flying backwards with recoil.
You can't use it when you have allies behind you.
Again, measures are mandatory to secure it to the ground before releasing it or to make it a recoilless cannon.
Whatever.
"This is a special attack with a magic bag. [Artillery fire] can be smashed toward the target by dozens of shots at the same time. If you want to name it, [artillery fire]."
A simultaneous shooting of power where each shot is comparable to a tank cannon.
That, too, leaves little prep time.
This would be no problem to say a new Special Attack.
"What the hell are you supposed to use this for! You can afford a dragon!
"Yes, at least I don't think it's magic to use on humans"
"I can't forgive you for being a brave opponent. I just want to hit [Divine Spear], but that can't be used in combat. Next thing you know, I've been trying to make something like this."
"It's too much!
"I'm telling you. I still have to forgive you for this.... I actually fought, so I know."
By then the brave are strong.
That's why I can't believe there's an assassin after that other than me.
"Well, I'm done practicing my Special Attack. From now on, it's been a long time since I've trained with a wide field. Show me what you've achieved so far."
"Fine. I'll show you where I grew up."
"Even I'm still getting stronger!
Smile.
Then I worked out the two of them thoroughly.
I can tell you it was a long time wide field, and more training than usual with a good meal.
Oh, my God, Dia, I've exhausted my strength and I'm going to bear it on my way home.
"Dear Lug, I had so much fun today"
"Right, I knew the school would catch my breath. It's not bad to go out there."
It's been a good holiday.
... Let's check out the trap when we get home.
It would be better if the assassins were safe.
