The Tale of the Teapot Hero’s Revenge

170 Not Yourself For Someone

As soon as I finished my look, I summoned Gillius and Mr. Stra to my room.

There seems to be a lot of noise in the castle about things being crushed, cracked, wind gushing down the hallway, etc., but I'm sure it's a world event that we can't handle.

More than that, we have to support the braves with what we can do.

No one should listen to me from here on out.

I open my mouth when Gillius explores the surrounding signs and makes sure no one is there.

"Gillius, Mr. Stra. You can't just kill a brave man like this."

"Of course I am!... but what am I supposed to do? If you help me pee, it's war, right?

"... Stra, what support exactly do you have in mind in the first place"

"... to? Well, like when you were in Tartus, sending soldiers to fight with you?

"You don't know if I can even be a fighter, but you're sending in soldiers?

"Ugh... that's well..."

Mr. Stra, you're still unfamiliar with these kinds of cheating things.

"Gillius, it's about you. You already have a plan, don't you?

"I have already given Killier a note describing a certain place"

"That's just great. I didn't know you'd already turned your hand in that situation."

"... hmm?

Adorable stra floating full of fitting marks.

I feel sorry for you for leaving me, so I'll explain.

"Regrettably, in terms of combat, we are of no use at all. Gillius could barely be a fighter, but he's a trivial force on his own, isn't he?"

"Yeah, you are."

"That's why we provide support outside of combat. Perhaps the brave men will escape the king's capital with their bare hands dressed. Then you can't travel long."

"Oh, indeed. Without money, there's no tent, no food, no water, no change of clothes. No, it's an exhaustion."

"And that's why we sneak in to deliver our support supplies. Sneak up on me so I don't find out. And then we'll flush the wasps under the castle. It's a lie about where the brave men went, and the brave men chased the king's capital to Paradise for their innocence."

"... that's all? Is that all we can do?

Too modest support for one country to do.

I also know exactly how Mr. Stra feels about Kyoton.

but......

"If Paradise finds out that he helped the brave, it will be an international problem. I do not want the people who finally have a peaceful life to feel any more uneasy. You understand, Mr. Stra."

"... well. Yeah, I get it, Perne. The smile of everyone living in the country is the most important thing. Besides, the plan that Perne arranged is a fine support."

I was confused, Mr. Stra, and I think I convinced you right away.

Put the people first as queens.

That feeling, that's what Perne learned so strongly on your side.

"Okay, Gillius, let's just arrange supplies. as quickly and as secretly as possible."

"Killier lost his sword, too. Deliver him the finest!

"Yes, Your Majesty."

○ ○ ○

Resistance lair in the woods, east of Wang capital.

The four of us are rushing here and taking a break for a moment.

There's a hole in the roof, but I don't know if I'm going to manage a rainstorm.

"... Phew, you've managed to escape this far"

"... eh"

Masked swordsman, Ares.

He's been chasing after me with a tremendous sense of murder, but I stopped tracking him as soon as we got out of town.

I guess I even gave orders to avoid fighting all over the city.

(But shit......)

I was originally going to fight Paradise alone, so there's nothing I can do about being manipulated to isolate him.

However, the preparation was also attacked by the nashi, and I had trouble getting here with my bare hands.

You can't keep traveling to Paradise like this, can you?

"Toka, what the hell is this..., how did you get attacked inside the castle...?

"Talk to me and I'll be long..."

Toka is explaining to Melo, who doesn't know what's going on.

[Airmen] have also been taken away, and do we have to go on foot to Paradise?

This is one of the anxiety elements......

"... Speaking of which, what is this?"

"... Huh?

Spreading the pieces of paper I removed from my pocket, Beato stuck around and glanced at me.

It smells fluffy and sweet and a little exciting.

"This is what Mr. Gillius gave me. It says fourteen of e, right?

……

"This is the name of this safe house. The fourteenth safe house on the east side of the Wang capital. That you gave me this paper on purpose must mean there's something in this place. I've been thinking about it, and it's brilliant."

"... eh"

"But I don't think Mr. Gillius would do anything meaningless. Looks like our enemies are losing sight of us too, why don't we wait here for a while"

Mr. Gillius is a trustworthy man.

This paper makes a whole lot of sense.

Beato nodded cocklessly at my decision as well.

"... Toka, is that serious? Are you traveling all of a sudden? I'm not ready."

"Neither is Atashi!

Looks like you're done explaining.

It seemed like a medium shock to Melo too......

As it was, we waited for about a few hours, hanging and drying wet clothes.

We were all drenched in underwear because it was raining.

Are you a little tired of finishing treating my wounds, Beat, who leans over and utters at me.

Carelessly, sometimes times like this are good, or when I start thinking about it.

Nucha.

"... hmm?

Beyond the rain, I thought I heard footsteps stepping on the mud.

Looks like Toka's noticed, too, looking around with Kyokiro.

"... Guys, be quiet"

When I put my index finger up on my mouth and gave instructions to make it look good, I quickly put on my clothes and glanced softly outside through the entrance.

In the rainy woods, one big man in a raincoat was pulling his luggage and coming this way.

"Stop!

To my voice, a man stops perfectly on his feet.

"Who are you? I can't believe you're coming to a place like this--"

"It's me, Killier."

With the voices I was used to hearing, the hood was taken away.

There's the face of a goth knight I'm used to seeing.

"What, Mr. Gillius...... Don't threaten me."

I could see the tension coming out at once.

Really, I thought you were a chaser and I was hallucinating...

"I'm sorry. I can't let Paradise find me either, so I needed to hide my face."

Mr. Gillius laughed bitterly as he pulled his luggage to the front of the cabin.

Did the Beats feel safe, too, putting on their clothes and putting their faces out of the shed?

"Everybody's safe and above all else."

"It's not safe, it was in my eyes..."

"Mr. Gillius, what is it, Soitz?

What Toka noted was a load of luggage cars, after all.

I'm curious, too, aren't I?

"He's your luggage for the journey. A set of clothes, tents, and other household items. Killier, I have your weapon too."

"Mine?

From the loading, a slender sword delivered to the sheath was removed.

"It is a sword struck with misrilled steel that is easy to pass through magic. The conductivity isn't as high as that red sword, but if you shed your magic and slashed it, you'd be boiled down.... but not a swordbreaker."

"Enough is enough. Thank you, thank you."

Mithrilled steel?

But it should have been a little bit more metallic than Damascus steel, which was the material of the first swordbreaker.

If you're not careful how you handle it, it's going to break right away.

"Nevertheless, you've often been able to bring out this kind of luggage without finding it"

"Well, there's a hidden passage in the basement of Barge's shop. They let me use Soitz."

"... eh, first ear"

There was such a place.

I've lived there before, but I had no idea.

"Bulge's guy, me and Stra, and all he had to do was teach Reid. That safe house, if it's found, it's a trail, right? As a last resort, we had a way out of the woods on the eastern side of the Wang capital. I never had a chance to use it."

"Oh well... You've been helped by a leader."

"Oh, right.... again, you should ask him to help you."

"Yeah, I'm gonna"

Leader, I guess you're still fighting Paradise without anyone knowing.

If you can help that guy, it should be easier to fight religious powers as well.

"Well, I'll be excused here. If they find us, we'll find you."

"Are you going already...?

"I hope your journey is safe. Deltirade and, of course, Stige, are on your side."

Smiling at Hikame, Mr. Gillius again wore a hood deep in his eyes and disappeared into the woods.

Thank you, Mr Gillius, everyone.

I did get a lot of support.

"... as soon as we pack our bags, let's go"

"... Huh!

The aim is the Paradise, the northern religious power, and the Holy Land of Pireapolis.

I can't see the whole enemy thing, but it's only clear what the purpose is to protect Beato.

This is the first fight for someone who's not me.
