We soon arrived in front of the rock wall that Mr. Michemont had blocked off.
His message would be the same: 'Don't come', but I can't say that.
The other side may be in the middle of a battle, but I'm going to have to break in.
I'm going to run up there!
Yeah, ......?
Mun. ......? Climbing that wall ......? Like a bug ......?
The wall does not go up.
It's not going to.
Instead, create a blocky demon wall in front of you while running.
With steps, multiple.
Using it as a stepping stone, I climbed over the flat rock in a triple jump, thang, thang, thang.
'Oh, oh, oh ......!
Pawako-chan is making a little happy noise.
I wonder if she's the type of girl who would be happy to have a roller coaster or something?
On the ground, seen from the sky, countless corpses.
Most of them are wolves.
Most of them are wolves, probably defeated by Mr. Mitchemon.
The other two are an old knight lying on the ground and a mature knight named Dan.
The other two were an old knight lying on the ground, a mature knight named Dan, and an old man.
A man with unnaturally well-developed muscles, holding a "gate".
You'll be able to get a good deal more information about the company.
I've already crushed the "master device", but it doesn't seem to be able to stop the explosion here.
"----!
The guy and I looked at each other.
But he immediately seemed to freeze, not at me, but at the girl I was holding.
It was as if he had just met someone he didn't want to meet.
(So you know my granddaughter.)
Looking down into her arms, she seemed surprised too.
'Mr. Squaro, ......!
That's that man's name?
As you may have guessed, though, it is related to the Marquess of Wentelshoeven.
Landing in the backyard.
The man remained frozen and did not cause any reaction.
Instead, it's the textile wholesaler's grandmother who shouts out.
Foolishly, why have you come to ......!
It's a given.
I'm going to protect and defend you, Clara.
That's why I'm just going to say, "I'm here to stop it.
"We're here to stop it.
The frozen man's eyes indicated a magical tool in his possession.
"Do you know what that thing is, Lord, ......?
I've seen it in cello. I've also stopped.
The way it's done, though, is to keep my "root cause interference" under wraps, and it's still in the form of Poiko's "mysterious blessing".
(I'll have to go back to the sheep's house for more information: ......)
She was quite a lonely girl, too.
You can't stop it, can you?
With the help of the mill, yes.
Knight Dan looked at the little girl who was piggybacking on me.
You're a starry-eyed child, a miracle child! Why are you here ......!"?
Mun. ......? I came to ask Al to leave me alone ......?
That's just plain dumb!
But Mr. Dunn's eyes, strangely enough, are very bright.
Maybe he is one of those people who believe in the legend that Poiko-chan is going to be a "future savior".
(Well, now I'm going to 'fudge' it again: ......)
You're always bothering the mill, too: .......
I'll have to reward you with something sooner or later.
I stared at the mass of muscle.
He backed away, shaking his head.
Not to me, but to Clara.
'Nah, no. ......! Your Highness, please do not come here: ......! If I let you get involved, I'll--
I'm sure he was the one who was antagonizing Mitchemon and the others, but he didn't seem to have any intention of putting his granddaughter in danger.
It's a good thing that they don't suddenly become engaged.
"...... Alto-sama, would you please drop me off at ......?
"Yes.
Munn ....... I like the ride ......!
Do as you please.
Landing on the ground, Clara approached a man with a tiny, thin body and a bloated body.
Mr. Dunn tried to run up to her, but Mr. Mitchemon seemed to stop him.
'Mr. Squaro: ......'
"No, no. ......! Come on, come on, get out of there. ......!
Clara silently approached the man.
Then she touched his unnaturally raised arm.
''--!
The man shivered.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on.
I'm not sure if this body is cursed with some kind of ......? It looks very grueling. ......
"Ugh, ugh. ......
Squaro is upset.
Maybe the reality is that it's neither.
That's why her innocent, straightforward caring is distressing.
I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one. I'm so grateful to you. ...... I was very happy about that. I was so happy about that. --I'm not sure if you are the only one who is suffering, but if you are, then I want to help you.
"............!
Squaro looked down in shame.
This would probably not be a fight anymore.
I gently approach the mage.
"Mil, please.
Mmmm. Cheating ......?
I know, but... I don't want to say it.
I'm not going to be able to say it out loud.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.
"To Al, Fushigi-Powerful Injection ~ ......
Yeah, I don't feel anything.
I don't feel anything.
Well, I don't think she has any talent for granting.
Maybe.
I'm me, too, and as she moves, I use light magic to create a starlight-like effect.
Clara and Mr. Dunn are surprised to see me with their eyes wide open, but Mr. Michemon looks dumbfounded, so maybe they know.
(Now I don't know.)
I opened up, snapped back, and touched the "child".
(The structure is the same as that of the cello, so it is possible to cancel the explosion itself--)
There is something a little strange about it.
It's as if a different space exists within the gate, just like the aforementioned Wakamiki.
However, we don't know the true size of its "interior".
Normally, I would like to interfere with this one as well, but there is also the example of the counter activation mentioned earlier.
It may be dangerous to touch it carelessly.
(At any rate, should we give priority to stopping the explosion now and deal with this mysterious space afterwards?
And that's why I cut the flow of magic.
Along the way, I discovered several traps against the activation of magic.
For example, if you tried to touch the keyhole, it would explode.
It wasn't a problem because it was uprooted and stopped at the root, but if you had accessed this in a straightforward manner instead of a foul technique like I did, you would have been in a bad way.
I don't know who would have thought it, but that guy must have been out of character.
I don't want to call it clever, but I'd call it vicious.
It's amazing. It really stopped ringing: ......! This is the power of the miraculous Son of God: ......!
Mr. Dan is surprised.
Yeah, I'm sure he thought it was Poiko's power.
He seemed to think it was properly Poiko's power.
On the other hand, Muscular Dharma, on the other hand, is pale and stares at the magic tool he is holding.
'Silly, na......! What a complete stop--
Unintentionally, I dropped the "gate".
The moment.
Save Claudia!
Mr. Michemont exclaimed.
Several black, root-like objects came out of the "gate".
It was like a whip. Like a whip, like a wrenching spear.
(Where did they come from? No, that's obvious! (You know, from a different space?!)
The black spear, which may have been able to detect humans, was coming at us equally.
Quite fast.
Mr. Michemont used his sorcery, Mr. Dunn knocked them off with his swordsmanship, and I jumped, holding the defenseless Poiko-chan.
Clara-chan - she was stunned.
It's not that she couldn't react to the black spear, but rather that she was surprised by what happened right in front of her.
That bloated, muscular man was defending her and had been stabbed through her chest.
"Su, Mr. Squaro: ......!
So, Your Highness, you're safe ......! You are safe and sound ......!
Dropped to one knee.
The black spear moved as if to pull out of the man's body, freeing him and closing in on his granddaughter again.
But.
Humph. ......!
Another old man was cutting off the black murder weapon with his broken sword.
It was a knight named Pistorius, who had just fallen down.
It was the last trap that had been set in the "Gate", or perhaps the magic tool is completely silent.
Squalo rolled on the ground.
The hole in his chest is large, and even with the potions he has on hand, he is unlikely to be able to survive much longer.
Pistorius looks down at his colleague.
There were a number of mixed emotions in his eyes.
...... Lord Square-lo, well done.
"So, it's our duty to protect your highness because it's our rightful place to do so: ......
The old man, who was rapidly losing his vitality, was still laughing.
He was smiling, somewhat proudly.
'Pi, Pistoriques ....... You are the one who, with a broken sword and poisoned arm, has done a great job of cutting off the ri,....... That's something I couldn't do: ......
It's called a false consciousness. But it seems to have been broken by a single blow. My arm is no longer moving.
There is no regret in the eyes of the man who said that.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.
'Ah, ah, ......! Mr. Squaro! Mr. Squaro, ......!
My granddaughter is clinging to the fallen man.
The prophetess, like a giant tree, told the fallen man.
The prophet, like a giant tree, says to the fallen man, "You were a true knight.
You have been a true knight.
....... And, ridiculous ....... I'm a wayward outsider. Ki, I don't deserve to be called a knight. I am ......, but at least in the end, as a 'person', I could die ......
The man meditates.
He finally muttered, "Your Highness, you are ......," but no more words were heard.
Then he stopped moving.
The two knights prayed silently.
Clara cried aloud and Poiko patted her on the head.
Mr. Michemont bowed to us.
'I see that I owe you - or rather, you owe me - a great debt of gratitude.
It would have been nice if you could have rewarded the mill for that, while I was at it.
But if you think of it as a 'debt', we'll use it as a material, and as with the village girl, I'm going to decline the approaching lesson.
"Mun. ......? I didn't do anything. ......
Pawako-chan climbed on top of me.
I gave her a piggyback and she smiled happily.
The old soothsayer fished his lips up in a smile.
I'm not sure how you would react after quelling a ruckus that could have blown up the castle. --You are in the meantime, you're Fushuryu and Fenghina.
Mun. ......? Never heard of the word ......? Al, tell me the meaning?
"Hmmm... ......? I mean a hiding dragon and a phoenix chick. The hiding dragon is only hiding, so it can fly right away, but the phoenix chicks will take some time to grow up: ......?
Can it be said that there is a difference between those who are ready to fight and those who will eventually become great?
I prefer the barnacle: ......!
Well, I'm sure Poiko would say that.
You can't get rid of them.
There are dragons and phoenixes in Moon Rain. If you get one of them, you'll have the whole world.
It's not a prophecy.
Yeah, I'm just saying it in passing.
The old soothsayer said in a carefree voice, and leaned close to the girl who he thought of as his grandson.
* * * *
--The moonshine and the dragon and phoenixes. If you get one of them, you'll have the whole world.
These words were delivered to Queen Tineke by the knight Dan.
He knew it was only a compliment and did not want to bother the princess and the children who had saved the castle, so he did not mention the names of the two names that were described as such at last.
As a result, it was misunderstood that some wandering prophet 'got such an oracle'.
From this day onward, the number of people in the Moon Rain Kingdom trying to find Fushuryu Fenghina would increase.
I was convinced that it was Fushuryu Houhina.
Just like the Ojama girl, Manon.
******
On this day, a miracle is happening.
An old knight, whose arm had been immobilized by the aftereffects of a poisonous substance, had finally made a full recovery.
When I woke up in the morning, the pain and numbness were gone, and the discolored skin had changed to a fresh skin color.
How did he recover from an injury that even doctors would spoon feed him?
Both the people around him and himself wondered from the bottom of their hearts.
The knight Pistorius rescinded his retirement and would continue to serve the Third Princess as the only surviving Four Swordsman in the rooftops.
* * * *
Thus, Her Royal Highness the Third Princess's recent examinations (・・・・) have ended, ostensibly without a hitch.
I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.
It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.
--I'm not going to be the only one, but I'm not going to be the only one.
