—— You must be nearby, the Recovery Wizard! If you don't come out, your people will die!

Gorgia's voice was well street and also reached Paula's ear, which continues to be treated in the back.

My people die --.

The first thing I came up with when I heard that was about Lavia. She's supposed to be acting differently and disabling the blast cannon, but maybe she made a mistake and got caught.

"Yes, I have to go......!

"Goddess!? No, you can't go!

Garrickson reached out to stop it, but Paula was faster. As expected by Gorgia, Paula's whereabouts are not so far from the battle zone, and soon the light of the demonic guide light will pop into her eyes.

"... that?

But it wasn't Lavia who was there, it was Luc-Landons. Ho, but things didn't get better. Somewhat knowledgeable people, we can't overlook them getting killed either.

I did not assume that the backpacks would be caught and treated like hostages. If they died, it was clear that there would be a negative impact on the negotiations with Villeocean that would begin after this, so the rebels were stepping on it that they would not be able to get their hands on it either.

(But oh and they're using it... you mean they're stuffed with more feathers than we thought? Or for some other reason…)

I tried to think about it but it doesn't come together well. Around the perimeter, Duinkler shouts, 'Bring him back to the back immediately', or Ludend shouts, 'Here's where we negotiate'.

With a bewildered face, but Galickson and all the other SS members unfold to protect Paula. Paula never walks out of her mind.

(You shouldn't even want Hikaru to die here Mr. Luc......!

Paula's principle of thought had already become "what would Hikaru do".

Louden laughs contentedly when he sees the healing wizard who has come. And Gorgia opens her mouth instead.

"If the Recovery Wizard comes here, I guarantee his life. If anyone obeys the Recovery Wizard, then so do those guarantees. You guys shouldn't have anything to do with this fight. But there is no life for these people if it comes to Düinkler."

Gorgia put a blade on Luc-Landon's shoulder.

"Lord Recovery Wizard..."

I tell Paula with a face that Doinkler seems to suffer.

"As far as we're concerned, I really want you on my side. This country absolutely needs a king. What they're doing, absolutely not. Not good."

Instead, he grabbed his fist and said, 'Ah, I should have studied the language more! I can't tell you! Is Deena not here?!?' poisons me, but there is no other person but Duinkler who can manipulate words fluently to get to Paula on this occasion.

(If I stay here, it will be an enduring battle and I won't know what to win or lose...... instead, Mr. Luc and the others will be killed)

Paula thinks desperately.

(If I go over there, the lives of me and Mr. Garrickson will be guaranteed... but I'm sure the king will be killed and the shape of the country will change.... Which one does Master Hikaru want?

That's easy.

Because Hikaru talked about it beforehand.

(Neither (...))

Hikaru had no problem with the king dying or Luc dying.

I was just looking for a path that could save as many lives as possible.

That's part of Lavia's move to disable the blast cannon. Because blast cannons can take a lot of people's lives in one blow, and besides, catalysts are rare and have other uses (...).

(What to do, what to do)

Paula wandered her gaze —— and noticed that on the walls of the palace, she was showing a silver mask, however, to melt in the darkness.

(Lavia!

She showed her circle as she twirled with her right index finger.

(Huh? Round? What's round, Lavia!?)

If Paula didn't know, now he pointed his index finger at the sky, and Guru knocked him down and showed him.

(What? What? Stars? Stars lean -- ah, time? Does that mean buy us some time?

I want to check but I can't.

Paula thought to follow her opinion because she thinks Lavia is much smarter than herself.

"… I would like to confirm a few things"

And when Paula cut it out, yeah nodded, Ravia melted into the darkness and disappeared -- I guess she activated "hidden".

As a matter of fact, this Paula "buying time" is exactly what Lavia was trying to tell you. However, it was the clock needle that I drew around the circle, and it was the sun that pointed to the sky that showed it rising and falling, and it didn't make much sense, but it is the result Aurai.

"Confirm...?

Gorgia looked surprised, but talked to Louden about something,

"Well, that's good."

I replied.

"Yeah, well, first of all, in what way does the guarantee of my life take place?

"Shape…. I'll get you out of the battle zone, and I'll put some soldiers on this one. That'll do."

"I treated all the defensive soldiers, and you're not guilty of that?

"Of course. Instead, I want you to treat the injured man after it's all over. I'm not gonna hurt you."

"Well... the Garricksons have quite a few people..."

"How many?

"There are certainly about 16 of us now"

"16!? That's a lot"

Gorgia speaks to Louden. Louden nods with a sinister face.

"Well, I don't mind that. I just need you to disarm me, and I need you to tie your arms to a rope for" Hundred Rides Alone "Galickson."

Handredman?

Did you have those two names —— and when you look at Garrickson,

"Old stories"

And I said somewhere to be ashamed.

"That's all the confirmation you got, huh?

"No, not yet"

"What, there's more? Say it."

"Oh, uh"

Stuck in words as soon as possible. I can't immediately think of what to say to buy time.

"What? Say it."

"Yeah, well..."

"--you?"

"Way! Clear the way! Because I can't get through! Way to go!"

".................. ok"

Gorgia asks Louden for his opinion, and Louden nods with a reluctant face.

Are the soldiers packing up pretty well, moving around at Gorgia's behest, but it's going to take a while. In the meantime, Duinkler asks Paula.

"--Lord Recovery Wizard, will you help us?

"Chi, no. This is a buy of time."

"Time...? So you're waiting for the morning?

Wait for the morning? Is that so? Paula doesn't know very well.

"In the back, I have luggage, so go get it, tell him so!

"Ah, Lord Recovery Wizard!

Paula runs and follows the scene. Is it going to be okay? With this?

I don't know.

(Oh, Dear Hikaru, what can I do --)

It's been about 15 minutes since Paula pulled into the back.

"You're not going back yet!

Soldiers have already made their way to the side. If only the Recovery Wizard could come through there -- but it's hard to come out.

"Gorgia, kill one hostage"

'But... because you don't mind? attitude may harden'

"It's time to fight now! If only the Recovery Wizard could handle it, he could push it off in half an hour!

'That's for sure. Then --'

When Gorgia pulls out her sword and pokes it at Luc-Landon, Luc doesn't shut up either.

"He's a man who can't even stand on the wind of a warrior. That's the way this country does things, like deceiving and taking hostages!

"History changes. Sacrifice is a sacrifice."

"Knock..."

"Die."

It's time for Gorgia to wave her sword down.

"Ma, wait! No more!

Recovery Wizard —— Paula came out.

As a matter of fact, Paula was hiding in the shadows and wanting to see how things were. I'm going to wait until it's critical.

"I'm finally here. You picked up your life."

…………

The tip of the sword had stopped just after cutting a few pieces of Luc's hair.

Luc stared at Paula, not Gorgia —— he was just biting his teeth with regret. As if I could bite the powerlessness that I can't do anything about on this occasion.

"Wizard, get over here now."

"Oh, you know, I'm still confirming..."

"I'm already a cunt!

Paula trembles with horror at Gorgia, who waves her sword up again.

(Awwwww... I can't buy you any more time... what should I do? What are we gonna do? Lavia, Lavia!

I let my gaze wander, but I don't see Lavia.

"... Lord Recovery Wizard, thank you for everything"

Deep down, Duinkler bows his head. Garrickson, the SS and the soldiers looked surprised at the way it looked.

"Even now, at this moment, Lord Recovery Wizard is trying to exhaust his hand. That would be greatly appreciated. But from here on out, it seems to be about our country."

"Ah..."

"Go ahead, go"

That obsessive duinkler said that much.

After being told that, Paula finally realized that there was no longer anything she could do.

"... thanks, wizard"

"Oh, how many times have I had my life saved"

"You're the reason I fought this far."

The soldiers greet each other with a mouthful of gratitude and behave like a duinkler and drool their heads.

"Wow, me, I--"

"... Goddess"

Garrickson prompts me, and I walk out with a bump.

Paula walking as they all bowed their heads was like a priest walking breaking a herd of devout believers.

(Don't look weak. All I can do is, after that, brave you)

The grey robe she was wearing was stained with blood and she was just as tired herself, but still,

————

The way he walked with his chest up, looking forward, and tears was that of a seeker on a rugged path of faith.

To that appearance of her, she was a gorgia with a pompous mouth open, but soon she herself stepped aside and made way for Paula.

Walk down the path that was a battle zone, just past the middle where the two armies confront each other.

At the bottom of the quiet night, Paula and only 16 warriors were walking slowly.

…………

That's when Paula found Lavia on the roof of the mansion, beyond the walls of the palace.

There's a koo on her head.

(Koo woke up --)

Thinking so, Lavia offered her hands open for Paula.

Don't come! But as if you're saying.

(Huh? Now? But there's no way to buy time anymore --)

Paula stopped while I thought so.

Everyone who was watching her move sees her wondering what happened.

But even as Paula, I don't know what to do.

"Oh, that --"

Still, I have to say something —— when I think about it.

Gowong.........................

I heard a bell.

GOWN...... GOWN...... GOWN...... GOWN......

And it keeps ringing continuously, it's what you hear from the tower, and there's no mistake, and what this "low bell sound" means where it's "contiguous" --.

"I've never heard of anything other than training... this is an" emergency evacuation for all the people ""

Garrickson snapped.
