Watashi wa Teki ni Narimasen!

... what to say.

I got lost. After hesitating, I asked.

"Why did you think that?

"Princess Tsu thought she was talking too much about 'what should have happened' in too much detail. Besides... my guess is Princess Tsukuba has been in the royal palace before."

"Huh?"

"How were you going to get to the royal palace? Although the hidden passage can certainly be taught orally by me, Princess Tsu didn't even seem to intend to hear it from the beginning"

Reggie continues.

"She's not the kind of person to forget something by accident, is she? If it was, you'd ask me, 'You don't have to go, write the location of the hidden passage on the map'."

Reggie seems to have caught on there.

"I didn't ask for it because I didn't have to, I thought. That doesn't mean you can see the future, and it's more natural to think that once you experience it in the future, someone who explored the royal palace after the war... went back to the past, right? She's never been near the royal palace before."

To Reggie's words, I think so.

If you just saw the future, there's no way you can find out about the Royal Palace's hidden corridor because of Princess Tsu's current background.

... ex-queen, so I'm sure you do.

Also, I don't think Princess Tsu was distracted by Reggie and misled what she was going to say. You didn't ask about the hidden passage to the royal palace, either, I guess.

I was troubled. It's about Reggie, so they're going to tell me it's an immediate prospect where I lied.

"That's right... Then Princess Tsuki might be saying she sees the future for some reason."

First escape with vague affirmations.

"But when the war is over, there's no point in hiding it, so I'm sure you'll tell me everything."

Then I postponed the problem. Finally, I also tried to include the meaning "Let's wait until Princess Tsubaki talks to me".

You don't have to talk about Princess Tsu's secret from me about this.

Reggie grinned all the time, stroking my head with Pong.

"I know I can't tell you. When the battle is over, I'll ask Princess Tsukuba directly what she's hiding. It's pathetic to force you to break a promise."

... I was completely lying.

Well, couldn't it have been this way? Or is Reggie just being too good at it?

I didn't think I could hide it through, but wouldn't I really find out too easily?

If I wandered, Reggie laughed.

"You'll be right in your face."

"Ugh..."

I have to practice faceless. Reggie said even more to me when I was so determined.

"But I believe that if you lie, you won't do anything that won't do it for me. I don't know what you're hiding, but I'll take care of it."

"... yeah"

I'm honestly glad you believe that, and I'm about to get a little rash.

The next day I took a day to move around the Roilgart Plains.

To the army of 20,000, the Luainian soldiers in nearby towns also stayed breathless and did not obstruct the progress.

Before dusk, it stops a little in front of the Royne River, which flows next to the King's Capital.

Tomorrow, reinforcements from upstream will come. I'm supposed to march along with it.

Although reinforcements are in a hurry, they really need another day because this one arrived earlier than expected.

Still, the night before the showdown. Now that it was time to rest while I was vigilant, the soldiers seemed nervous at all times.

I don't chat more than usual. I also get a little anxious about how the quiet army looks.

At the same time, I felt emotional.

Tomorrow, if we can act as planned, we will meet with the Queen.

I gazed in the direction of the king's capital on the high side of the stone I had made for the sentry around me.

Even at night, the Wang du is bright and still sees a blurry accumulation of light.

On the side was Leela, who followed me instead of the escort, and I didn't make a scene about whether Leela had gotten used to me lately or the master I was bringing with me to stay away.

"... scared now?

My master asks me pompous.

"Yeah. I just wondered if this was going to end up knocking me down, and it felt strange"

That's what made me laugh.

"You thought you'd win from the start? You're a hell of a confident man, Ichich."

"Huh!?

I was surprised by the master's words, but when I thought about it, I was sure I had that kind of consciousness in me. Because if this is the world of games, I had the feeling that if I did it right, I would win.

But now...

"When I realized it was going to be a war, I was just thinking that Reggie could be dead. I was desperate... but for a little while, I think now I had that relief that if I acted like a story, I would win. But things changed, and the enemies were even stronger than I expected, or some of them couldn't have come out, and I was anxious. What would you do if you lost the most? Isaacs caught you."

It wasn't possible in the game, the battle at Trisfeed. Fighting Salehardo. And the settlement with Viscount Credias.

Over it, I also needed Reggie's witchcraft, and finally I... changed my perception of this situation now.

"Now I'm either using the knowledge of someone who's been through this war the same way as Princess Tsubaki, that kind of consciousness might be strong"

"It's not like it's a fairy tale anymore."

"Yes."

It's not an absolutely winnable fairy tale, it's ahead of someone changing their glimpse of history, reality.

I think what made me recognize that was the defeat of Viscount Creditus, who was, after all, a symbol of this world's nightmare, and... Reggie told me she liked me and she stayed by my side.

That's why I'm starting to feel unrealistic that defeating the queen will end.

"But you have to knock it down, you can't move on. Now I can't imagine from the other future in my memory, there's a real reality."

"Is it a real reality? Well, if the battle is over, no one can go back to their original lives. In a way, it's unrealistic. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens to your reality. Hiccup, hiccup."

The master added, laughing joyfully.

"But it's about you, so I thought I'd never get off his side on a day like this. That little witch magician goes out of her way to escort her. Besides, even if you kill him, you're not going to die."

You may be worried about your master. Princess Tsu acted far apart until Shestina, even though there was something about Viscount Crediaz.

That means she's coming with us, so something difficult could happen.

"We'll be with you until just now. Besides... I'll be on your side all day tomorrow"

If you can lose and stay on your side even at the last minute.

If you were planning to act far away, you might have been anxious and scared to leave, but if you could stay on your side, you wouldn't have to spare a goodbye now.

"Knock it off."

I laughed at the poisoning of my master, and I was able to spend that night feeling calm.

And near noon the next day...... the battle began.
