The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

Episode 4: Reliability and Trust * 3

I immediately sealed off the square.

It's easy to do. The square was completely covered with lacquered dome.

... the square, the glass dome, the pillars and the roof lined up with circles, and so on, but I don't have time to draw, so it's just a white dome.

Fortunately, the soldiers were watching the entrance to the square, and it didn't seem like so many people were out yet, and this dome would contain the flow of people.

Well then, let's rescue the people!

After that, Fay rushed out with great momentum.The Summoners use their flames to dazzle and warm the dome while stopping the soldiers from attacking the people relentlessly.

At the same time, Princess Large seemed to be very active.Take the initiative to capture the Royal Soldiers with the Summoners.

... but at some point, all the soldiers of the royal family are attacking more and more.Some of the blood seemed to scatter.Someone's hurt.

Then I don't have any kills. Anyway, even Princess Large would surprise these people if she gave out too many Summoners...

"I wonder, is that magic...? A magical subspecies of charm?But if so, it's strange that the soldiers are conscious... "

Crowe is calmly observing the surroundings and exploring the cause.

I also observe the soldiers with me, and I'm sure... the soldiers are acting strange.

Apparently, they didn't want to be attacked by people.That's why I said, "Run," and I couldn't stop moving.

... yes. Something's wrong with my movements.It looks like you're desperately resisting your body moving on its own.

Are you being manipulated?

As I murmured, Mr. Crowe looked at me and nodded.

"... yes, I guess so.Looks like some sort of magic is being used to manipulate soldiers' bodies. "

Claire's eyes narrowed.... I think maybe you're trying to feel the magic.

"But... can you control this many conscious soldiers?The magic of the magician is going to be shorter than the magic of the magician.... "

... yes. If you try to manipulate the movements of more than one soldier by yourself, it would be roughly the same as trying to move more than one puppet at the same time.In other words, your head is shriveling.

"In general, I don't feel that powerful.If you insist, outside the dome...?But that's a little weird.Can you manipulate soldiers into attacking people without knowing the inside of the dome? "

"So, is the killer in there?"

"Maybe, but now I'm trapped like this, which is unexpected."

Listening to Claire, I'll look around the dome.... but no one felt 'unexpected!'.Confused and panicked, they're just scared, protected by Summoners like Fai, Princess Large, and others.

"... or is there more than one surgeon?But if that's the case, it's because I'm mixed up with the people of King's Landing, and if there are so many suspicious people, I'm sure you'll understand..... "

I don't see a suspicious person in my eyes. [M]If you can't see Claire, she's not here.

"Then...."

Mr Crowe is desperately reasoning.I don't know much because I don't know magic, but I wonder if I can find anything useful, so I look around.

... when I looked at the royal soldier who was raising his sword, I felt a sense of sight.

I don't think so. Nothing, I don't recognize a soldier.But somehow, I feel like I recognize something in the clumsiness of the movement.

I wonder what it is, but I close my eyes.I wonder what it is. Have you seen similar movements somewhere...?

When I was observing the Royal Soldiers even more.

"Corn, get away from me!"

Suddenly, you can hear me from behind. [M]I'm familiar with the voice of Laocles.

Laocles?

I look back... slightly.

Laocles is... shivering and pulling out his sword!

"Your body moves on its own...! Out of the way!"

... apparently, Laocles, too.

Laocles seems to be desperately resisting his selfless body.That's why he hasn't pulled out his sword, and he hasn't hurt me.But it also looks like it's a matter of time.

"Corn! This way!"

"No, but Laocles...."

"Even so, there are still Royal soldiers left!They're already swinging their swords! "

Lyla and Faye pull me off Laocles.

But what should I do? As it stands, Laocles...

"... no, no!"

While we were lost, Laocles screamed as if he had noticed something.

"Armor! Corn! Change my armor!"

... hmm?

As soon as Laocles said so, he was surprised that Laocles' armor was piercing.

... my armor surprised me.

"... I wonder if this is one of my Knights..."

"Perhaps! Destroy the armor and you'll be done!"

That's it. That solves the mystery!

The tragedy at this venue... happened because the Armor was turned into a monster!

Soldiers don't think that the armor they're wearing will become monsters and start making their own decisions.That's why I realized that my body moves on its own.

And Claire said, "If you're manipulating so many people, you don't have enough skills," but that's also a solution if everybody moves their armor on their own.

The killer doesn't have to peek inside this dome.If you turn all the armor in the dome into monsters in turn, that's enough.

I mean, there's no armor in this square except for the royal soldiers.So if you produce an armored monster, nature and what the royal soldiers are wearing will become monsters.

... ah, except Laocles. Yes. For the killer, it seems that Laocles' presence here was above all a cause of his failure...

Okay. Okay.

Now I understand. The problem is armor.That armor is turning into a monster, willing to attack people.

And because the Royal Soldiers are wearing that armor, it looks as if the Royal Soldiers are attacking people.

... to solve these, 'It was armor that attacked people!', you'll need to explain it properly.

"I'm glad I'm used to drawing Laocles."

"... I see."

So, let's start by drawing Laocles with his armor off.Draw armor separately.... then the painting trembled and swooped and spread... Laocles was separated from armor. All right!

"Now, get ready!"

And Laocleth turned his sword against the armor, and the armor began to shrink and tremble in surprise again.

... I have a little affection.

"In the meantime, let's keep that armor.We have to do something about the other soldiers' armor. "

I told the scared armor, "Don't move." I saw the armor nodding over and over again, and I thought, "I love you."... I took care of the royal armor.

The easy thing is to destroy the armor.If you turn your armor into a clay doll, like you fought at the junction of the woods before, you can smash it to pieces.

But that's not how it works this time.Because it is necessary to properly explain that 'it was the armor that attacked the person'.

That's why I'm going in the direction of removing my armor.

... paint an unarmed soldier next to him., but... this is quite difficult.

Anyway, it's pretty hard because you have to draw a few people for the first time.It is quite difficult to see a person wearing armor and draw where they have taken off their armor.

But I managed to do something about it while drawing it.

Because when I took off the armor of a few people, the freed soldiers and Laocles came out with a strategy of holding down several people wearing armor and forcing them to take off their armor with a force technique.

"Armor! Take off your armor! Soldiers are not the ones attacking people! Armor!"

... and it was Laocles who moved the royal soldiers after they took off their armor.Stream stones are our statues!

"Take off your armor! Treat him as a prisoner!"

As Laocles moves with instructions, it seems that the mood of the people in the square has changed.I mean, a sense of security. Yes! Our Gypsum Statues give people peace of mind just by being there!

Besides, it seems that there were a few people who knew about Laocles... everywhere, "Isn't that Golda's hero?Like, "It looks like a golden statue in Golden Square," or, "Hey, isn't that brave?""and so on.It's a little interesting. I'll tell Laocles later.Probably shy.

Golda's heroes take the lead and solve the plaza's odd case.

It seems to have brought a great deal of peace of mind to people's eyes, and people who were confused are now completely relieved.

"The wounded are here!There's plenty of medicine and bandages occasionally! "

... and we're first responders.

I hide, give out a lot of bandages, medicine and bandages, and use them on people with a body called "I happen to have them."The truth is, I can draw one by one and cure it, but if I draw this number, it takes too much time, and it is quite difficult to draw strangers, so it is not good.

... hence.

"Great... peace has come."

Princess Large has a reassuring expression from the bottom of her heart, and people also look reassured by it.

In the middle of the square, armor wrapped around the rope is rolled and shuffled.

And to keep an eye on the armor... our plaster statues!Laocles of peace and trust!

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for our golden Laocles!
