Usotsuki Senki, Meikyu wo Yuku

Episode 72: To Siege Tower, Repolis.

I want to be a cloud.

Utena always thinks so.

How good would it be to live fluffy, like a cloud drifting in the sky? I've been looking up at the blurry sky since I was a kid and thinking, but it's a hard wish.

In fact, now I'm framed for putting myself on a rough battlefield.

"Uh..."

Even while Utena was looking up at the sky in a sense of reality escape, the battle is going on without stopping.

It was good until Lil penetrated his opponent's position in monster form. With that agitation, two Kasumi and one Tegre and Chikka seized the enemy. Things were very well carried up to that point.

That's where the problem comes from.

"You're not breaking down, surprise."

"That's not true."

Utena and the others are fighting. Still behind us, the two of us relaxing and having a conversation were right, faster than they thought they would rebuild.

There are still nearly fifteen opponents left, even if you set them up in an unexpected way. It's nearly double the size of this one.

Heeko, anyway, Lil. But even after kicking twenty alone. He said he didn't want me to force him. The Utena and the others are fighting, but the minutes are bad. We're dealing with less than half the same number of people in the first place, so it can't be better.

We should at least send Lil and the others to Kugutsu while we're attracting ourselves, but the problem was that there was a set of parties on the enemy's side that weren't in the fight either.

If the lils try to get out of this place, they'll show up with the Kugz and pinch them.

Then it goes without saying that we are at a disadvantage in the final showdown. Especially the two of us at that party. One is a man with a cross spear. The other is a small person wearing a hood neatly. When Ace looked at those two, he said, "Piggy!? 'Cause they were ringing, those two are pretty strong. Jesus' crisis-sensing abilities are real.

This is a rough situation.

Sighing from the bottom of his heart, Utena picks up a stone crush on the ground and throws a stone at the battlefield. Stone throwing and fooling around. If Utena, which led to advanced, throws, pierces the skin and breaks the flesh and crushes the bones, which would be stone rubble. There's no one who's low enough to just offend the stupidity of taking it. Whether you take it or not, you will need one hand.

Throw stones into the field and ripples will occur in the stream. Even if that doesn't make a decision, it will help your allies. That's what Utena is doing.

Fighting, Utena thinks, is a little like the river flow.

I've been able to identify that for a long time. And it was a bit of misfortune to be spotted by a circle.

"I remember something I didn't like…………"

"Is there something worse than this situation or something!?

"Hmm......?

Utena checks the situation with the voice of our leader, who goes into discipline to himself.

Tegre and Chicka are turning to stop the flow of the opponent, and Kasumi is bravely cut with a snake-bellied sword. Ace was running away in tears. It is very useful because it is about three people. You can leave her alone.

It's a pretty bad war situation, but what Utena remembered was more desperate than this one.

"The old man's training………………"

"Ahhhhh... that was hell indeed."

Kasumi waves his snake-bellied sword to restrain his enemies. Utena also harasses and throws stones at him to disrupt his opponent.

Training with a circle is bad because it cuts people's limits. Utena was particularly forced to read the overall flow with the individual.

Ideally, you should read through the flow of battle, read through the flow of individuals and use them as your own strength. That's what I was taught, but such a thing, how much experience and skill will I be able to gain? Vaguely the ideal shape has changed high, and it is impossible to reach it in Utena today.

Taking control of the battlefield flow. I can't do that in Utena right now. At best, it's full of stones thrown at the rough battlefield to disrupt the flow.

"So, what do we do, leader..."

"I don't care what you do."

In the avant-garde, Tegre, who has the magic to harden his body, and Chicka, who has the magic to weigh his body down, have managed to stop the flow. But it's poor. In fact, I haven't been able to defeat one since I poked at the first surprise.

Neither has the enemy been forced to attack because Heeko is holding him by the lil resting behind him. I guess they also feel that Lil and Heeko are distinct. Ten of us at the two parties are going to cut ourselves, see how we fit, and the five of us behind us are going to join the fight and slap each other at once.

It makes me uncomfortable that you're being licked, but there's actually a difference.

The overall local power of the individual is about the same. The number of people is a little more than double that. If we keep bumping into each other properly, we lose. They are proud to have a natural advantage.

The best way to get through this is to use Lil and Heeko's help as well. At least it would be a lot different if Heeko alone joined the fight.

That's Utena's decision, but there's one problem.

"Kasmins, that's a little harsh."

"Really? …… Kasumi, can I help you?

"I don't want it! Mr. Lil, stay back with Heeko."

Utena's party leader was a strongman.

"We'll do it alone. Yikes. Tegre, Chicka! Stay calm! If you're willing to die, you won't die!

"Seriously. At last, the instructions became just a psychology."

"No more, you leader."

"I am!? It's off the hook!? Why are you leaving me alone? Come on!

While complaining and crying is good, I have no objection to Kasumi's instructions. He no longer maintains the front with just maintenance and guts, or runs around alone.

"Ha..."

I can only sigh at a situation that gets worse and worse. I don't want to die. I don't like to hurt, and I don't want to do anything that makes me tired. I want to be a cloud floating in the sky.

I think so. Kasumi's back touches Utena's shoulder.

If you noticed, they were pushing you in a lot. So much so that Kasumi, who was fighting in front, would hit Utena, who was throwing stones behind him. Given the lils right behind us, we can barely retreat anymore.

At last it's safe to say he's been cornered. The status quo, still Kasumi is laughing invincibly.

"Utena too. I'll do my best."

"…………."

Somehow, I remember the first time Kasumi grabbed me and asked me out.

- Utena, let's go!

Kasumi pulled Utena's arm as she played alone in blustering on the river plains and sometimes throwing stones at the water.

At that time, he was certainly invited to defeat two of Tegre and Chicka, who were chasing him around trying to turn Eis' skirt. I said to the two men, "Stones are against the rules!," he cried, telling Ace, "Stop it for him already!" I remember this crying again.

"Is that...? It was an unexpectedly silly memory……."

"What?

"Mmm, nothing...... more cashmere than that"

"What?"

"I'm motivated. Come on."

"Yes, I'll give you"

Answering the trick, Kasumi gives Utena the coin he created from alchemy. Not that it's counterfeit currency, of course, but a toy-like coin large enough to be wrapped in a palm with no engraving whatsoever.

Sneaking Wylo to the hem of his arm, Utena exhaled and looked up at the sky.

Looking up at the sky is the routine for Utena to concentrate. Blue skies, looking up at drifting clouds, raising awareness.

I want to be a cloud and drift.

Such solitary wishes were always pulled around by the cashmere and scattered. From childhood onwards, only Kasumi held onto Utena's arms and wielded them in a grumpy, gripping fashion.

That was annoying, but I don't hate it.

"I'll do it, leader"

An unusual and hectic proclamation. Moment after moment, Utena came forward.

Kasumi, back off. The usual rear guard avant-garde reversed form. The fact that Utena, who was throwing stones, suddenly came forward puzzles the other group for only a moment. But isn't it sweet enough to miss the enemy?

Utena is inevitable. Whatever it is, stick it straight into the other person's nose.

The blade, impending to cut it off as it relentlessly headed towards Utena, deviated greatly from the impact it had hit from the bottom.

"Nah-oh!?

The jaw of a man slashed by Utena jumps faster than he sounds stunned.

The man who devours his chin shakes his brain and loses consciousness and is sent back by the function of an adventurer card before he falls.

Utena hasn't even touched his opponent.

"Next"

"Ahhh."

Clean up one person, then step forward. Why have my untouched companions been defeated? To one of the confused enemies without understanding, Utena unleashes an attack. He was painfully beaten all over his body at about the same time without knowing the means of the attack, and he was sent back before he could do anything beyond the tolerance of the damage.

Now, you two.

An alert gaze is gathered at Utena, who defeated them in a suspicious attack, to see what magic they used.

Utena lifts the end of her mouth to the ripples she was able to jump into.

It's because adventurers are the first to be wary of magic against attacks that don't know who they are. Utena sneers in an attempt to take it backwards, but there was also a calm person on the other side.

"Be careful! That attack, it's not magic. It's a dark device."

"……… have you found out?"

Goal rattling, tongue-beating.

At the same time that a cross spear figure holding back calls for vigilance, Utena unleashes a fingerprint on the opponent that Tegre and Chicka are holding back.

The coin Kasumi gave me earlier is a bullet. Two Tegre and Chicka make a push-in distance forward with a gap that is bounced off their foreheads and disoriented.

"That's advanced. Fast to find out."

Instead of provocation, I fly up with a coin.

Unlike throwing stones that you throw with your entire body, the power of the missile is inferior with your fingers, but the continuous firing works. And most importantly, the timing of the landing and firing are difficult to read and avoid. Sometimes being a big demon opponent can be too weak for restraint, but it's effective if you're a human opponent.

The other one or two thought they could do it without breaking the seed, but it was a sweet prospect.

Still a strong enemy.

But even if they put together ten people, it doesn't extend very far to that old man.

It's proof that we're even behind ourselves.

At Kasumi's party, Utena is the best at melee warfare, and by its magical nature, Kasumi is the one who demonstrates true value at medium and long distances. It's usually just a matter of a troublesome Utena falling back and a bloody kasumi coming forward.

In terms of talent alone, Utena's sense of melee is second only to Colo's and higher than Heeko's.

"Tegre, Chicka. Keep it down just for a second. I'll crack the front and break through."

"Whoa."

"Don't worry, Utena's instructions are decent."

"Utena, help! Help me! They've been chasing me since before!

"Ace is......... yeah. Live as you please."

"Live as you please. What!?

The goal is the five of us in the back. If we can pull that off, we can send the lils forward. It's a situation that doesn't even require enemy sensing anymore, so I think Ace should do whatever he wants. It's okay. That kid is unusually good at running away.

Until just now, the Utennas go on offense.

Tegre and Chicka suppress the front lines of the enemy, and Utena leaps into the enemy group alone. I made a mistake. Push back what was being pushed in until just now, shaking the opponent.

But that still doesn't extend.

"Don't fuck with me!

Utena inferior to the number of people is enclosed for the previous protrusion. Utena has enough taste to be found in a circle, but even with it, it's hard to fill the difference in numbers. Struggling, the fierce blade pierced Utena's chest, magically stopped, and Utena's body collapsed.

Literally, Utena's body collapses from the contour and becomes a cloud.

"What?"

I would have caught him, but I couldn't help it. Utena retreats as she slips through the enclosure while the opponent is stunned. Tegre and Chicka go along with it, giving up the distance they've pushed in at all costs.

Utena's magic 'Clouding (Fog Run)'. This is her biggest trump card to replace the body and what she wears with a cloud.

Utena, who magically survives the attack, materializes next to the cashmere that was in the rear.

"Kasumi is enough to swing..."

"Thanks, Utena"

Kasumi, subjected to the voice of Utena with a dark colour of fatigue, smells a giant object with a full smile.

"Here we go, too."

In the time that Utena and the others have bought, Kasumi creates a masterpiece that appears.

Shadowed.

What appeared was huge enough to block the sun. If you are inferior in number, release the firepower that overshadows it. Buying time for this and Kasumi alchemized it was a huge weapon that just seemed ridiculous, such as a few person differences in numbers. It's called...

"Siege Tower, Heleporis!!

At the same time as spinning his name majestically, he appeared in an architecture large enough to look up. The tower that involves the buildings around it and uses the building materials, the worse it will be with the exterior walls of the Wang capital. Essentially, iron plates were stunning like scales on the front and sides while being stoned, and stacked and equipped with catapults and baristas on many steps inside, with eight huge wheels on the bottom.

That beauty is exactly what you would call a moving fortress.

"If so, idiot or him!?

"What the hell is that, you're not kidding!?

An agitation runs to the members of The Path of Glory (Gloria Road) in front of a huge weapon that suddenly appears.

An enormous mobile tower, about fifty meters high, appeared loaded with siege weapons. I'm more incapable of being offered something like that and not panicking.

"Ahahahahahahahahahahaha! After all, the battle is about mass and mass, and fire and romance!

"Ku, yup! How dare you call me!

"It can't be! How can you fight something like that!

"Kasumi!? I'm still running away."

"I won't listen to you cry. Yikes. There's a big reversal from here, and this will ravage us! Come on, Leporis.

When Kasumi mercilessly silenced the crying words of Jesus, an ally left behind, confidently attempted to launch the supreme masterpiece he had created.

A familiar crushing sound of a Kasumi weapon called Bibi.

The ominous sound sounded from the giant building freezes the faces of everyone on the spot. Forget to even fight. Look up at the Siege Tower. A clear gap is created, but no one tries to move between those blanks.

Oh, no way... it won't collapse, will it?

Such a gaze is poured on Teng himself, who created the castle tower, which is making a noise of fright in its current progression. What happens if you get caught up in the collapse of a building at this height at close range? Everyone didn't want to have the worst imagination.

Kasumi grinned bitterly at the siege tower, which began to lean from the base.

"Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

Ace flicks himself instantly and Utena activates the magic of 'Cloudization (Fog Run)' without hesitation. Tegre and Chicka enter the shadow when Kasumi alchemizes every possible mass of metal in front of him, and Lil, who is in the rear, wraps himself in his vertical roll with Heeko to protect him.

At the next moment, the Siege Tower couldn't stand its own weight and quickly collapsed, involving everything on the spot.
