Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

Luca is pretty good at attacking Nil and keeping an eye on me.

But it's not that easy to escape from the collaboration between me and Nil.

I did it!!

"Huh?!"

Gin!

Looking at Luca, Nil attacks with a stroking force.

So far, Nil has endured Luca's attacks and should be accumulating frustration. Still, to make sure that you decide to attack me, Luca will launch an attack that will restrict her movement, rather than damage her.

You tried to move away from me, Luca.

A small tantrum that is inevitably shaken from the end of the journey.

Luca had no choice but to play a small sword, and he played it with a dagger. No, it would be more correct to say that you were induced to do so.

"This!!"

Having accurately grasped Nil's intentions of attack, Luca seemed to have complained, but I was already so close. Luca didn't have time for that.

”Haaaaaa!!”

"Ngh!!!"

I raised my cherry blossom sword and swung it down to Luca's head with all my strength.

The timing was perfect, and it turned out that Luca couldn't avoid my attack before he swung his sword down.

But…

Gaggin!

"Huh?!"

What came into my hand was the feeling of hitting something hard.

Luca was worried because it was difficult to hide or hide anything, just because she was dressed in clothes with very little fabric.

It was a magic tool.

Probably the magic device that was hidden somewhere activated and stopped my attack.

It's not self-conscious, but if you can stop me from hitting you, it's quite a fine magic tool. It was the type of magic tool that would disable a powerful attack once.

I didn't think she was hiding something like that, and Luca immediately ran away from me and Nil to Akito.

"Um... sorry... I couldn't make up my mind."

"No. Where did you hide the magic device when you were dressed like that?"

I apologize for not being able to take advantage of the opportunity that Corner Nil created, but Nil acts as if she doesn't care at all.

I should have been more vigilant about the magic device because the player is the opponent...

“All you have to do is create another opportunity.”

Nil says so easily, but Nil knows very well that it's not that simple.

Still, Nil laughs and says she can afford it.

"... I'm disappointed... Cynthia."

"... disappointed?"

I can't believe you're running away from me one-on-one.

Akito, who is catching up, spits at me like that.

"Run away... hey.

If we say one-on-one, should we do it on more equal terms? I think it would be wrong to say one-on-one in the first place. "

"I don't care about that!" Akito! Because you put Luca in danger!? "

"Ah?! Are you saying it's my fault?!"

They don't seem to be close... but they don't seem to have much trust in each other, and they always argue.

"Master, I can't stop this woman Luca or Akito by myself."

Looking at the two of them, Nil said in a small voice.

"Of course, I have no intention of losing at all, but I think the opponent's attack strength exceeds my defense strength and the opponent's attack strength alone."

What Nil says is definitely true.

Probably, even if Akito is the opponent or Luca is the opponent, I can say that if Nil moves through the defense, it won't last long and will break through the defense, even from my eyes.

Nil is an excellent person in various ways, but it is really amazing to be able to calmly analyze and convince yourself that you are losing. It may seem easy, but this is unexpectedly difficult.

I can easily accept that I am winning, but I think there are very few people who can accept that I am inferior. Even if you don't intend to, the creature that unconsciously wants to think that you are winning is a human being.

But Nil doesn't have that kind of unwanted pride. No… I don't think it exists, but I have the skills to push it to death.

Nil also has a daily training experience with Lanca and Yura, and I think it is difficult to endure that it will be defeated by someone. However, if you put that pride on the surface and mistakenly see the power difference with the opponent, you know that not only you but also the people around you will get hurt.

Indeed... I heard that Nilu told me a lot of things when she was teaching shielding.

Until I was taught shielding, it was Lanka and her disciple Yura who made the best tanker by applying Nil's shield to soft sword technique, which was only used to catch the opponent's attack.

In particular, the woman named Yura was a person who directly instructed Nilu, a woman who could also be said to be a shield magic teacher.

Nilu once told me that she was troubled when she asked what was the most important thing in learning shield magic from Yura.

At first, she seemed to give various answers, such as how to stand a shield and how to use it, but they were all different. Nil was in trouble, but eventually Nil was convinced when she heard the most important things that Yura taught her.

That means... we must always keep in mind that there are people behind the shield to protect.

Simple shielding is a method of attack and defense using a shield. I think it is important to learn it, but Yura and Lanca taught from different things.

That is the story of the people to be protected.

A shield is a moment of defense to prevent the opponent from attacking. Defending and defending it is the original use of a shield.

To protect, of course, is to protect yourself, and there is almost a situation where there is someone behind it.

In fact, even when we're dealing with a big army, the big shield is in front of us, and even at an adventurer's party, the shield is most often in front of us.

Whoever the opponent is, for the tankers who are required to take the attack and not pass behind them, all those who are behind them than their shields should be protected, and there must be no failure to protect them. This was the teachings of Lanca and Yura.

When it comes to swordsmanship and shieldsmanship, you tend to look at the technology, but it is surprisingly important to preach your feelings before learning the technology.

How do you use that technique in your swordsmanship... in other words, it's the same sword will that my father taught me.

In particular, Lanca was blind, sensitive and important to the inside of her mind.

Therefore, Nil always thought that there were people to protect behind her, so she was learning shield magic.

But no matter how much your technology develops, there are enemies who surpass it.

I don't know if it's a person or a monster, but it's definitely stronger than me.

Therefore, it seems that it is more important than anything to accurately analyze your own strength and the strength of your opponent and accept that you are losing.

It is a fact that there is nothing you can do at that time to break through the defense, and suddenly you do not become stronger. However, by accepting it, you can figure out what to do once you know that your defenses will be broken through.

If you do not lose, if you have a strange pride, you will crush the possibility of being able to deal with yourself, which leads to the fact that you cannot protect the people to be protected.

First, Nil told me that her defenses would be broken through.

"I see... Akito and Luca are real." If you try to defend it, it'll break through. ”

“It's pathetic… I think that's true.”

"Do you have any thoughts?"

It was Nil with a slightly dark face, but when I saw the expression back, I noticed that she had some idea.

"... though it's not as splendid as I thought..."

I'll briefly explain Nil's plan from there.....

Based on Akito and Luca's prowess, there was a good chance they were after Nil. If Nil were to be targeted by two people, Nil would only have a few matches. Since Nil also knows, it can be assumed that she would be targeted first.

Use it to attract the opponent to Nil and I'll slap them.

To put it more simply, I'm going to make Nil a fool.

It's easy to say, but it's very difficult to do.

First of all, even if it is attracting people, it is impossible for the two of us to attack each other simply because the other person is also a human being.

Even if the two people who knew Nil's strength targeted Nil at the same time, there was no difference in strength enough to kill her instantly, and they would know that they couldn't defeat Nil until I intervened. If the two of you can't take care of Nil and I intervene from the side, you'll be in danger of being attacked by me even though either of you is not in a defensive position.

In that case, the opponent's strategy would be to keep me away from Nil, as Nil and I had done to Akito and the others earlier, and take Nil down with the two of us.

Originally, it would normally be a battle between us and Akito, whether we can carry things well or not, if we keep either way away and slap one side against the other.

However, I dared to put it in the opponent's hand, and I moved away from Nil, so that I could take down the two people who aimed at Nil from the side...

Of course, this operation is a blade sword. If I make a mistake, Nil will have to deal with two people on his own, and he will die or suffer serious illnesses close to that.

It was also possible that Luca would try to take down Nil by herself.

"You can't nod to that operation with a boulder...?"

No matter what, it's unacceptable to fight for Nil.

If so, it would be better if I stormed alone.

But…

"Even if we fight like this, it will take too long to fight as usual."

We have more opponents to crush, so we don't have time to spend here.

Here... we need to take the risk and put a quick end to it.

Besides, perhaps next time, people around you will join us in battle. On top of that, I think it would be more difficult to keep either of those two away. ”

Nil's sober analysis is... unfortunately correct.

Even though it was quite tough to fight against both of them, if even the enemy soldiers around here were to join the fight, even if I and Nil tried to destroy Akito and Luca individually, it wouldn't be so good.

When you should take risks, you should take risks... even when you are playing solo, there have been several occasions in the situation, and I know what Nil is saying is right. It's just that I can't forgive you for making Nil a fool.

If you think about it, you can hardly nod. The worst thing that can happen to me is what can happen.

“It's okay.”

Nil says to me that it's okay to even smile like usual.

"I will not die. Master, please stay."

Normally, it's a word that feels like it's under pressure, but when Nil says it, it feels completely different.

I just feel that I trust myself with my power. For Nil, being a fool is nothing special, and it's the same as fighting with me on my back. I feel like I'm saying that.

Nil, who is entrusted with the most dangerous position, decided to be ready for it, but I didn't decide to be ready, and I was just wandering around... I'm sorry for Nil's preparedness.

After all, all I have to do is try my best to keep Nil from getting hurt.

"... All right, I'll take care of it." Just bear with me a little bit. "

Yes.

Just one word, yes. Nil just replied. However, there is no confusion or anxiety there, and it means that you believe that I will definitely help you.

I'm scared of a man here... no, I don't think he's a Han.

I'll do it. I'll make it work.

"Ahhh! Whatever! I have to kill those two and report to Barabanta!"

"Shit... well, killing Synya with a sash doesn't make any sense."

Let's just kill them and finish them off. "

The two of them who were arguing ended the conversation in a way that broke Akito's one-on-one detention, and turned their gaze to me and Nil.

"Cynthia... I'm sorry." By making friends, you've become weaker after all. "

……………

I don't know what impression Akito has of me, but when I said it was different, I didn't think it would reach Akito, and I stood my sword in silence.

I'll surround those two and crush them!

As Luca calls out to those around him, the enemy soldiers raise their weapons.

"Let's go... Nil."

Yes.

Even if I leave Nil, I need to move as naturally as possible, as if I had no choice but to do so. If you get strangely far away, it's likely that the opponent will notice the operation and have the worst possible development.

I never thought I'd be putting my acting skills to the test in a place like this.

However, the opponents were Akito and Luca, and they were quite powerful. Even if you don't act strangely, if you keep pushing and pressing repeatedly, it should be a fair movement.

Kill me!

When one of the enemy soldiers cries, the surrounding people move out at once.

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Akito and Luca move behind the enemy soldiers who entered the attack motion at once.

Since Nil and I are almost in the same distance, it's subtle which way we're going to go. However, as long as I was watching the battle between Luca and Nil, I would have noticed that Nil was not good at fighting styles like Luca, and Luca would have hit Nil.

Nil said earlier that it would not last long even against Luca's attack, but there is a prerequisite that when it just collides with a simple attack force and defense force...

In other words, if you can use your hand to fight while controlling the field, which Nil is good at, you won't be able to do that.

And since the surrounding enemy soldiers also moved, it was easier for Nil to fight in such a way.

Akito and Luka are very powerful. If the battle continues like before, one-on-one or two-on-one, we can't make the timing to use our hand. However, when the enemy soldiers gather around, Akito and Luka will not be nearby.

With that timing and the enemy soldiers on the wall... it's easier for Nil to fight. That said, we cannot do anything about the difference in the number of people, so it is necessary to stand around well.

However, in such a situation, Nil can always deal with it calmly.

If you could fight like that, you wouldn't be able to catch Nil easily, no matter how well Akito and Luca fought.

As Aquito said at the beginning, even if the barracks are gathered together, the word only gets in the way is not a mistake.

Gin! Shh!

”Nuuuuuuuuuuu!”

Giggle! Giggle! Giggle!

"Ahhh!"

Me and Nil stand around trying to protect each other as much as possible, watching out for Akito and Luca.

Akito looks at us from the left, and Luca expands to the right and moves to a standing position that sandwiches me and Nil from left to right.

It is good that the gap between the hands can be created, but if there is such a difference in the number of people, it will be difficult. Besides, even though Nil and I are nailed down by enemy soldiers, Akito and Luca are free to take positions.

It was easy to take the form of a siege.

Looking at Akito and the others when they arrive, while calmly dealing with the arrival of enemy soldiers, Akito runs away first. That's what I'm after.

Nil, standing on her back, didn't say anything and didn't react, but I know that's a sign of trust.

"" "OOOOOOOOOOO!!!" "

Four soldiers in front of them, each with their weapons raised, attacked. Akito is approaching in a way that hides behind his back.

”Haaaaaa!!”

ZAZAZAZAZAZAZAZAZAZAZAZAZAZAZAZAZAZ

”” ”” ”Guaaaaa!!!” ”

First of all, if I don't do something from the people in front of me, I won't be talking about Akito anymore, so I will launch a fast four-strike, sword skill, and four claw roll against the four people who are attacking me.

Two of the four assaulted with light equipment, so they forced down their swords and slashed them from their shoulders.

The two remaining were firmly wearing armor, and only around the elbow was slashed, and the attack itself was stopped, so I couldn't let them suffer such a great injury as leaving the battle immediately. However, since it was not a shallow wound to continue the battle, first of all, it would not be in the way if it was combined with Akito.
