*Unedited. Thanks for reading~
Due to princess Flare"s speech, the flow of the battle that was supposed to end with the Dioral Kingdom one-sidedly trampling the demons changed. The humans of Buranikka who were going to abandon the demons to save themselves stood up, took the demons" hands and fought. Seeing their figures, the Dioral Kingdom knights became bewildered.
Furthermore, the poison I prepared in their wine finally started circulating. Although it has a delayed effect, it"s a very powerful laxative. The knights" expressions warped in anguish and started holding their stomachs. Their pants are severely dirtied by their diarrhea.
From a back alley, I was watching them the knights be defeated by the residents of Buranikka too quickly as they could hardly even hold a sword or a spear. It"s quite a humorous and amusing show. Well, it"s a good time now.
"First, I"ll send you off to the underground shelter. From their, I"ll go off to take my own actions." (Kearuga)
"What are you going to do, Kearuga-sama?" (Freya)
"I"ll end this war. I want to avoid shedding any more blood from the people of Buranikka, and I don"t want the Dioral Kingdom knights who are just following orders to die either… therefore, I decided to kidnap their ringleader, princess Norn, and "persuade" her." (Kearuga)
This is just my official stance. I really couldn"t care less about peace or shedding blood. My objective is revenge, just that. They killed Caruman… my close friend. I definitely can"t forgive them. There"s no way I could forgive them!!
However, I am more or less making it seem like I"m on a journey to save the world in front of Freya. Although I can arbitrarily change her brain if I do some excessive things, I should have some consideration. I won"t show her that it"s just plain revenge.
"I will also accompany you!" (Freya)
Probably because of the influence she gained from becoming Freya, she"s motivated because of her sense of justice. However…
"There"s no need for that. Freya" annihilation power is certainly valuable, but I plan on going as smart as possible. I"ll sneakily kidnap princess Norn with the least victims. With that strategy, you would be an impediment." (Kearuga)
This sort of covert actions aren"t suited for a magician. Since Freya knows that as well, she isn"t making any more back talk.
"I understand… it is frustrating that I can"t become your strength." (Freya)
"No, you have achieved your job perfectly .Well, let"s hurry." (Kearuga)
By the time I escort Freya back, the effect of the drug had reached it"s climax. To reorganize their crumbling war front, the holy lance chivalric order brings out the guards they had preserved. I should be able to easily creep in amidst that disorder.
While camouflaged in a knight"s appearance, I pretended to be the acquaintance of a messenger who was just in the middle of moving and approached him, readily succeeding at changing places.
And then, I looked through his memories. As expected of a runner; I"m grateful I know the instruction that had been given until now. I perceive princess Norn"s strategy, and also what they are trying to do from now. I unintentionally laugh.
"Oh my, that woman is also unlucky. To think they would be defeated before the messenger sent his message." (Kearuga)
I raise my valuation of that woman by one grade. That woman had been thinking about a plan to reorganize everything from here, and was giving instructions.
"If this instruction had been handed down, it would have turned out bad. How dangerous." (Kearuga)
If princess Norn"s plan had been precisely handed down, it probably would have succeeded. However, it"s unfortunate… that instruction will not be handed down. The reason, is that the messenger is in a deep sleep and had swapped places with me. I will nonchalantly continue as it is and show my face in front of princess Norn as a messenger soldier.
It"s finally the climax. While desperately resisting breaking into a smile, I head towards princess Norn"s carriage.
No one questions me, as the knights don"t have that kind of composure. If it was the usual peaceful battlefield, there might have been someone who suspected me.
However, the knights" physical conditions that successively become worse make it an overwhelmingly disadvantageous battlefield. They didn"t even have the room to notice the sense of discomfort.
I enter the carriage princess Norn is inside. Since the guards who are protecting the entrance of the carriage remember the messenger"s face, they let me pa.s.s without objection. When I enter, I see princess Norn biting her thumbnail.
"What"s going on? I never would have thought that Flare would intervene like this. What does she mean by "equality"? Even though she thinks of demi-humans like insects." (Norn)
"… the saint would not." (Trist)
【Hawk Eye】comments on princess Norn"s reckless remark about princess Flare. Tch, he really is next to her. It would have been the best if she separated him from her to reorganize the war front though.
"Compared to that woman, I am still cute. I discriminate the demi-humans and demons not from my emotions, but because it will profit the kingdom, but that woman discriminates them because of her emotions, so it"s uncontrollable. However, it bothers me. That speech is unlike that woman, so it is not that woman"s words." (Norn)
Princess Norn makes a truly unpleasant sigh.
"What does that mean?" (Trist)
"First of all, if it is a speech she thought of herself, she unconsciously takes a condescending att.i.tude, but that was an equal att.i.tude. By that point, it is already strange. Secondly, towards the knights, that woman said she believes in them. That"s impossible. That woman doesn"t trust others enough to expect good will from other people in that manner. That woman would have ordered them to believe in her, or stop. Thirdly, there is no way that woman would oppose me." (Norn)
She has quite a severe manner of speaking, but she is pertinent. As expected of princess Norn I guess.
"From the aforementioned reasons, that woman is being manipulated by someone. The words that woman said before didn"t have any of her own feelings in them. Then, exactly who is manipulating princess Flare? The only person I can think of is Kearu, the hero of【Healing】. That"s troublesome. To think a high rank fighting power whose actions and objectives I can"t see would appear here. That man does not have a single logical reason to protect Buranikka. I am suffering from trying to understand it." (Norn)
I incessantly clap my hands for her inside my heart. She concluded that I was behind it from just listening to that speech.
Excellent. I can use this woman. She"s smart, and if I make her my property (toy), I"ll make sure to use that intellect a lot.
"Why are you just standing there? If you have a report, then say it quickly." (Norn)
"Yes, your Highness." (Kearuga)
Erasing my killing intent, I smile and shorten our distance. I want to immediately kidnap her, but there is a nuisance here.
There are three guards right now, and one of them is【Hawk Eye】.【Hawk Eye】is making a composed face, but it seems the poison in the wine is showing its effect.
It"s just pretended endurance thanks to having a high status and having a strong emotional strength, so his fighting strength has plummeted.
The poison isn"t working for the remaining two. Did they not drink because they don"t like alcohol?
No matter, as far as I saw with【Jade Eyes】, the remaining two are just normal elites. If I can just bury【Hawk Eye】, I can do whatever I want with the others. He is unprepared. Disposal of【Hawk Eye】is at maximum priority.
I will reliably get the first hirt on the guy next to princess Norn… Tch!
I incline my neck, and something flying grazes my cheek. It is mostly likely a needle shaped anki, which was thrown by【Hawk Eye】in one instant with his sleeve. (TL Note: According to the j.a.panese wikipedia page for it, anki is a general term for a small weapon which can be hidden in your body. The literal translation would be darkness device, but I"ll leave it as anki for now since that sounds too chuuni.)
There was no warning nor any spare movements. It was something her couldn"t do if he didn"t believe that I replaced the messenger. The reason I was able to avoid it is because【Hawk Eye】has a bad condition and I personally feared that I might be noticed in this situation.
"As I thought, you are able to avoid it. That degree of martial arts. What kind of joke are you saying when you called yourself an alchemist?" (Trist)
"How did you realize?" (Kearuga)
"It"s your manner of walking. Body weight movement, breathing and all of those sorts of things were like an elite military man. At the very least, you are different to how you were until tomorrow." (Trist)
Even while responding to our conversation,【Hawk Eye】doesn"t stop his attacks. He is releasing ankis from every possible position. 【Hawk Eye"s】style is to quickly change from being a bow expert on the battlefield to a anki user in indoor battles.
Even this conversation is no more than a means of turning away his a.s.sertiveness. This time, he takes out a blow gun-like weapon.
I stop it between my fingers, and while doing so, he shorten the distance and lets a kick loose. I try and evade it with a backway, but a blade came out of his shoe"s tip, so I push out my left hand and block it. The blade pierces into my palm very deeply.
The【G.o.d Made Treasure Tool"s】【Automatic Recovery (auto heal)】activates. I"m thankful. I was immediately able to prove divine armour Georgius"s usefulness.
Plenty of paralysis poison has been smeared on the blade, and I feel affinity to that method. If I didn"t have my【Automatic Recovery (auto heal)】, I would have been cornered into an unmovable situation where I can"t even use【Recovery Heal】.
Of course, I received it because I have my【Automatic Recovery (auto heal)】.While keeping the blade pierced in there, I tightly grasp his toes.【Hawk Eye"s】strength is the world"s strongest eyes; his overwhelming kinetic vision and reflexes. If I don"t choose show any gaps by making an impossible choice like this, it is impossible to give him a telling blow.
As long as I just touch him, all I have to do is use【Deterioration Heal】to dispose of him. Thinking that, I enhance my mana, but【Hawk Eye】twists his ankle. Because of the excessive pain, I separate it from my hand. And then, I jump backwards from fear of being pursuited. After the blade came out, I cured it with【Recovery Heal】. Good grief, even though I would have killed him if he had stayed still for a few more seconds.
"That is weird. I feel like all the anki I take out have been read through, and that poison just now. It even immobilized a large monster.Why can you move?" (Trist)
"I want you to keep it with one question. The first one, is because I am also an anki user, and the second one is because poisons aren"t that effective on me." (Kearuga)
We search for each other"s weaknesses. The remaining two guards come around my back; I"m surrounded. As expected, I can"t take on two elite knights while fighting【Hawk Eye】. I urgently need to make a move.
"Prepare yourself, hero of【Healing】! You are unlucky, but even for you, nonchalantly appearing in front of 【Hawk Eye】is suicidal."
Well, that"s true. Even though he is specially weakened by the poison, I"m disadvantageous in this situation. I can"t go on like this. It"s insane to be honestly fighting with this monster. Therefore, I"ll use an unhonest method.
Since I got it with great pains, I should try out Georgius"s attack ability. Princess Norn inhales deeply. She"s trying to summon the knights in the surroundings by screaming, and a few seconds after her scream, enemy soldiers surge in.
There"s not a moment to waste. To immediately achieve victory, I have no choice but to rely on the instant death attack,【Deterioration Heal】.
However, am I able to keep touching【Hawk Eye】for several seconds? The answer is no. Even then, I"ll do it.
Without any tricks, I go in deeply. And then, I enter a distance where my fist can reach and directly stick out my fist. It"s a foolish attack which is telling him to please counter me. And then, what I release is my certain kill…
"【Deterioration Heal】" (Kearuga)
A certain kill magic that is useless without touching the opponent. However,【Hawk Eye】watches out for the rise in mana and puts himself on guard, without trying to make a counterattack.
That became a fatal weak chance. A black light spits out of divine armour Georgius"s front slit and radiates.
The one hit certain kill【Deterioration Heal】had the weakness of having to touch the opponent to work, but with this divine armour Georgius, I can send the【Deterioration Heal】.
The distance I can send it is less than a meter, but that distance works in a fight with a formidable enemy.
"Gufu-, this is, it hurts, m-, my body is" (Trist)
【Hawk Eye"s】body unnaturally swells, and bursts open. I won"t use a delicate method of breaking him. Therefore, I chose to forcibly multiply the cells.It"s a blow that has an intense mana consumption, but it"s effective. … it"s a bit wasteful. I wanted to use【Imitation Heal】on【Hawk Eye"s】abilities, knowledge and experience.
"I don"t have any room after all." (Kearuga)
Complaining, I throw one needle and two knives. The needle pierces into princess Norn"s throat, making her hardly even able to scream. The two knives cut off the throats of the guards who were just elites which causes blood to spout out. The hindrances are all gone. Help won"t come either. Well then, I"ll go and accomplish my objective.
"What, exactly, are you?" (Norn)
"I"m a prince who has come to sweep away the princess." (Kearuga)
After pus.h.i.+ng a cloth that"s soaked in plenty of specially made sleeping medicine against princess Norn"s mouth, her consciousness falls. Now, all I need to do is to take her back home.
"Caruman, I"ll make sure to avenge you. Although it"s to dispel my friend"s regret, reaching my hand out to a young girl might be unforgivable! These flames of revenge that dwell in my chest can no longer be erased by anyone. For my friend"s sake, I will throw my human self away and become a beast. Caruman, watch over me in that world." (Kearuga)
It pains my conscience to do cruel things to the young, princess Norn who is still only around thirteen, but there"s no helping it. After all, it is for revenge. It will save the people of Buranikka as well. If the commander isn"t there in a disadvantageous position, they will probably automatically retreat. I feel quite good as a champion of justice.
Now then, I wonder how I should bring princess Norn home. And also, when I come home, how should I enjoyably play with her. I have decided to turn Freya back to princess Flare to enjoy myself, but I hadn"t decided on the specifics.
"Okay, I thought of something good." (Kearuga)
I"ll have them show me plenty of their sisterly love. If they don"t deepen their relations.h.i.+p as sisters, obstacles will appear in our journey from now. This is because both sisters will become my property (toy). What a good person I am. While thinking about that, I laugh. It will become fun from now.
