Umarekawatta “Kensei” Wa Raku o Shitai
60. The Mixed
(Three... four - no, you're more than that)
There are two signs you can feel right on the carriage.
But there are more signs that people can feel confused.
At this time, most importantly, the intention to be poured into the carriage would undoubtedly have been aimed at Ayna.
Whether she was originally targeted, or whether for some reason she decided to - I'm not sure about that.
But it doesn't make any difference what I have to do.
I'm the one who can protect you without a sword.
In an almost simultaneous direction, it emits a wind blade made up of magic - Invisible.
To wound those on the carriage and seal their movements.
But...
(…… did you send it? Fast.)
Two people on the carriage respond to my sword attack.
At least, my sword strike is not a substitute for overnight.
Not to mention the blow I fired from inside the carriage. Turning it around would mean that the two of us who came after Ayna were quite hands-on.
My unleashed blow... No, part of the carriage was damaged by the two blows, and the knight who was manipulating the carriage also seemed to notice the situation.
"Hey, when...!?
"That was my attack."
"Sch, First Class Schweitz......!
"I will give instructions to the whole thing. Several people, assassins, are being mixed up. The color of the flare is yellow."
"I understand!
As soon as the knight is ready, I look back to Ayna.
"Okay, Dear Aena. Here."
"... the fact that you are giving instructions still means -"
"We'll talk about that later. Because the enemy seems to be quite powerful. We will give priority to your escort."
That said, I'll take Aena's hand.
But when she shook my hand away softly - she smiled.
"Huh, you want me to back off? To me."
"... because the situation is the situation. There are two enemies right around the corner. We're still evacuating the surrounding residents."
"Don't lick it. He said I could fight for that."
When Ayna answered my words like that, I felt a strong magic from the outside. Almost at the same time, a roar sounds from outside the carriage.
It is the water created by magic - the assassin who sent my attack earlier is unleashed, and the two of them turn it over again.
The inhabitants around them are suddenly shouting surprises, but even in this place where people gather, the magic was precisely capturing enemies.... Aena's unleashed magic.
"I know the number of enemies, too. Sure seems to stand up quite well... but not enough to kill me."
Saying so, Ayna opens the carriage door herself to show herself.
"Hey... hey..."
"If you're saying you're a knight, mind the people around you. No escort is necessary for this level of opponent. Come on, I'm here! If you want this Aena Boodle neck, you can call me from anywhere!
That's what I say, take out the laipier I lowered to my hips.
A petal of water strikes the perimeter of a rapier with a water-colored sashimi.... I guess Aena's good magic is water.
(More so, if you name it yourself...)
I'm guessing Ayna's behavior is as the words were directed at me.
Instead of protecting her at this level, move to protect the people around her.
It can be seen that Aena's attitude is backwards and purely worried about her surroundings.
Maybe he's more troublesome than Illis... that's what I felt.
("Mind the people around you")
I exhale small and stand next to her.
Aena will never turn her gaze this way,
"What are you doing? We don't need an escort."
"One word from me, too. Protecting you is also the best way to protect the people around you - because it's not that hard to protect others while protecting you. Instead, don't push it."
"... heh, don't you say. Then show it to me!
At the same time, me and Aena move out.
Immediately afterwards, the signal bullet is emitted heavenly.
"There are enemy attacks. Prioritize the safety of the surrounding residents' meaning, this is used.
I'll check on the carriage, see what's going on around here.
They also understood that the upset surrounding people had something to do with the signal bullets.
Immediately the knights of the escort raised their voices and the induction began.
The two men Aena chased split left and right and are eager to see how this one looks.
These two have the strength, as well as the ability to deflect attention from assassins mixed up around them, I guess.
(Don't go away... you understand my timing very well. As far as I'm concerned, it's easiest to be near Ayna...)
"Alta Schweitz. You do the right. I'll do the left."
Aena will never take that away from you.
At least it doesn't seem to be in my feared situation to see the 'height' of the two assassins. However, there are some concerns.
"Dear Ayna, give me your opinion"
"... Oh, my God, I was just about to move. Even in the empire, no one stops me."
Somehow I know what it's like to be an empire man, but I have things to do as an escort, too.
"To see the situation, wait a moment for it to move. Mr. Iris - Master will be back as soon as he sees the signal bullet. There are not many enemies… there are probably two of them who have the strength"
"... you think it's best to get acquainted?
"I thought you were good."
"What's the best?
"The best part is that at this time, Illis is going to fight one or the other."
At least, even my Invisible opponents won't be late. I intend to put my trust in Illis on this escort mission.
Aena's state of battle remains unchanged. situation that seemed likely to move out right now, but after a lot of silence,
"... I agree. Let's accept your opinion."
"! Thank you"
... I can't avoid saying that I was a little surprised, but Aena accepted my opinion. No, even though she's young, she's military - she has class. If you are in a position to have a subordinate, you should naturally be entrusted with the chain of command as well.
If you look at the situation, you'll be able to tell if it should move now or not.... If this was just her, for example, I definitely think she's running into battle.
(Well, how does the rest work over there... Hmm?)
I saw two assassins retreat.
In this meagre amount of time, we may have identified the situation and shifted in the direction of retreat.
(If he was an assassin, he could have thought of running away at the point of failure, but he didn't run away immediately. Is it "now"? I guess that means I changed the operation after seeing that Master Ayna didn't move...)
When this happens, it's me and Aena who will be effective to go after one first. I just want to leave the other to Illis, but there's no sign of him coming back aligned with the Merche - there's also a knight's instruction, and even with the upset, people are getting away from here.
(If you don't come back... I can't help it)
"Dear Aena,"
"You two do one thing or the other... is that your operation?
"! Yes, you're right"
"Huh, I don't feel comfortable with you. But Illis and Merche aren't coming back. My man, Merche, doesn't delay these guys either... but there's no way. We're gonna split up."
"No, it's..."
"I know - I won't move far from here. If they're after me, there's a chance they'll make a move if I'm alone. Aim there."
... I mean, Aena lures out the enemy and I take it down, that's why.
I just showed you a sword attack, but I didn't know you were going to let me do that.
(Haha, you didn't say anything too big)
"What's the answer? No, we don't have to ask next time."
"It's Jesus. Let's start a joint operation."
Though unexpected, by me and Aena... the battle against the assassins began.
