Speciality
Against the soldiers who come attacking altogether, Mira is holding her own, but her movements are a tad bit dull.
“What’s the matter, Mira? You may be piggybacking me, but be that as it may, aren’t you being too pathetic?”
The Dark Magician, who’s being piggybacked, says out loud to the butler, unremorsefully.
“……”
Mira, she thinks.
‘You should just die’.
In the present situation, Mira has three shackles. One is, Delta’s existence. She wants to establish the simple tree of ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend’. If it’s them, it wouldn’t be strange even if they’re thinking about pulling a fast one on this side even during this crisis. Number two is, Lily＝Schwarz. Not letting the unconscious her get injured, is Mira’s number one priority personally. Number three is, needless to say, the scummy baggage on her back.
Such her, is mowing down and dodging all of the enemies’ attacks, but she can’t go as far as to retaliate. Mira, who has a doll’s body, doesn’t get exhausted, but when the attacks are this ferocious, there are going to be attacks that are impossible to avoid no matter what.
“This is bad”
From her back, the Dark Magician’s voice resounds.
“Eeh. Does Asch-sama, have any good idea?”
“Isn’t it your job to think about that”
“……”
It was at that moment that Mira vehemently swore, ‘I will not, speak to this fellow anymore’.
Even as they’re having such a pointless conversation, the soldiers’ ferocious attacks continue. However, at Mira who dodges their attacks entirely,
“What are you doing!? Not that butler. Aim for Lily＝Schwarz”
Zelve says loudly, and the soldiers change their target altogether and thrust their swords out at her. Mira, who responded a moment late, does her best and sticks her arm out, but she doesn’t make it in time. Just when she thought that the sword would stab right into her heart, that sword was severed into two.
Klose Chivalric Order’s Captain, Raynes, was standing beside that soldier.
“Ho-, how are you here?”
“Through Delta’s Space Teleportation. Still, this sure is a bizarre situation”
Raynes, stands before Lily, and glances at the soldier that came attacking.
“It is not bizarre. Delta＝Laplace is a traitor who betrayed our country. I, as the Senate Leader, order you, Klose Chivalric Order’s Captain, eradicate him”
Zelve gives his order loudly.
“……understood”
“Hahahaha, as expected of the Klose Chivalric Order’s Capta――”
Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash Slash!
In an instant.
Raynes, mowed down the soldiers that were around Lily.
“Wha-……what are you doing!?”
“Right back at you……don’t mess with me”
“……hii”
With eyes like that of a beast.
Raynes, glares at Zelve.
“Did you……order this here Raynes……with that mouth that called for the killing of women and children?”
The Chivalric Order’s Captain who lays his bloodlust, which is as though that of a beast, bare.
“Kuu……that’s rebelling, you know! What you’re doing is unmistakably an act of rebellion. Are you telling me that you’re going to throw Klose Chivalric Order’s Captain’s status, honour, throw everything away?”
“……”
Raynes, silently tossed his armband away.
“Yo-, you……”
“I have no need, for disingenuous glory. If that’s how it’s going to be, I’ll walk with my friend whom I believe in”
While saying that, he looked at Delta.
“……a suffocating fellow as always”
“That’s no way to put it when you’re the one who called me, right? Also, I warned you plenty, on how rotten they are”
“……I’ll give my argument after everything is over. Well, it’s inevitable for it to turn out like this though”
Delta smiles dauntlessly.
On the other hand.
“……I have to give you my thanks, for saving Lily＝Schwarz-kun”
Asch says, unamusedly.
“No need for thanks. It is only natural as a knight to help women and children”
“……”
“More importantly, it looks like Delta can’t say it out, but how about, we fight together here? Since both our enemies are the same”
Raynes says and locks onto Zelve.
“Any guarantee that I can trust you?”
“No……but, I wonder why. I’m able to trust you”
He smiles brightly.
Raynes, parries the ferocious attacks that come at Lily one after another.
“As always, he is a marvellous individual”
“……”
“When people say a ‘cool knight‘, they are referring to an individual like that huh. Unlike somebody from somewhere”
“……well, he may be about 1/100000 as cool as me, but he’s suffocating. For example, he’s the type that’s exhausting to get along with, even if somebody got tricked and dated him”
“I think it is better than somebody from somewhere, who’s the more painful to look at on the continent, and who can’t get to date anybody though”
“……”
The Dark Magician was, one way or another, unamused.
