The revenge match silently opens its curtains
◆◇◆◇◆
The nuether with Alyssa is 11 They split up in groups of tith Alyssa and the rest in 3to carry out infiltration and subversive activities
They clirande’s side using a rope with the help of their colleagues Alyssa, who discovered the cut end of the ropes, which suspended the corpses of Ma Calme and the others, and the shuriken, which severed those very ropes, sticking in the wall, pulled out five shuriken fro for a bit and put them into her pocket
“From here on ill act separately” (Alyssa)
“As you command Good fortunes of war”
Upon Alyssa’s signal, the soldiers soundlessly drop ropes from the fortress and climb down
From the small sounds audible at times, one can approxi the patrols from Horant’s side
“Go” (Alyssa)
“Ha”
Once Alyssa confirmed the bottom of the fortress, she jumped down speedily and without delay
She lands while rolling over ni, carries the rucksack, she was holding in her hands, on her back and swiftly draws the wakizashi+
Her acco soldiersarson
Once Alyssa checked the surroundings, she sao of Horant’s soldiers, ere apparently dealt with by the soldiers who descended first, having collapsed nearby Except those, there’s no enemy presence in the vicinity
Alyssa, who concluded that the soldiers, ent first, were already heading towards their target locations which were set during the day, searches for the building they are in charge of
They head towards the target building whilequietly
They don’t turn on a light Whilein touch with each other, they hile relying on just the ht
“…We are here” (Alyssa)
What was in front of Alyssa’s eyes was a large building appearing to have four stories which had an iht
The seehtly si norht of several meters
Being bothered by the large front gate, that released a strange aura, and the size of this building, she secretly observed fro the day, Alyssa believed that soiant soldiers the related to them was hidden in this place
If there were still giant soldiers, she wanted to dispose of thereat if there are some documents which reveal some kind of weak point, Alyssa hopes
Two soldiers of Horant, who are holding lights which see side-by-side on the outer circu
“I will get rid of them” (Alyssa)
Alyssa, ent ahead swiftly without waiting for a reply, closed in from behind the soldiers and stabbed the wakizashi+, she held in her right hand, into the nape of the neck of one soldier fro the mouth of the other one with her left hand
Once the soldier dropped the light, he held, while being confused due to suddenly having hissoundlessly as he realizes his colleague collapsing while shedding blood
I Hifumi, Alyssa wiped her wakizashi+ with a paper and picked up the fallen ic tool As she looked around for a little while, she handed the ue who came as support
“I’m sorry, I don’t kno to turn it off” (Alyssa)
“Ueeh…?”
The soldier, as suddenly given the ic tool, turned around the illuminated tool, but since he didn’t find the place of the switch in the end, he decided to swiftly cover it up
Once they confir it with soil, Alyssa’s group breathed a sh
Circling the building and finding athat looks like it allows entering, she hooks the wakizashi+ into it and opens it slowly
The inside was pitch dark, but Alyssa and the other tho judged that there are no people inside, entered the building one after the other while watching the surroundings
Alyssa didn’t notice it at all, however Hifumi overlooked their movements up to there fro
“Well, it ht be a valid decision” (Hifumi)
At the point in tiure, he had killed all of the soldiers of Horant who had come to the barracks’ rooftop
There’s also a group responsible for the barracks a the infiltration unit from Fokalore, but as they just trespassed froating the interior and are very unlikely to reach the rooftop for much more time to come
“Well then, shall I try to observe theuardian?” (Hifumi)
Heading to the edge of the building, he runs fiercely towards the building Alyssa invaded
The distance to his target is around 10 meters It’s further away than the world record The distance for the approach run is short as well
“Huff” (Hifumi)
Stepping down on the rih the wind
The chilly air of the night hits his face
The hakaot filled with air and served as break
“Uoooh?” (Hifumi)
Outside his assuain distance, takes out the kusarigama and throws the side with the sickle
With a dry sound the sickle stabs onto the target rooftop While grasping the chain, he kills the sound by pressing his feet against the wall part of the third floor
“Phew… that was a bit unreasonable, huh?” (Hifumi)
Scaling the chain, he heads towards the rooftop
“The boredo…” (Hifumi)
Hifu he descended to the third floor leisurely while while being unarmed

Imeraria, who temporarily returned to Münster from the location where they set up the defence enca herself in the room prepared by Earl Biron even after she finished dinner
“A failure is a failure I will reflect on it, but there won’t be any progress even if I drag it out forever” (Imeraria)
A pen stained with ink is made to travel across a paper casually
“Defense”, “Night Attack”, “Rescue Failure” and “Giant Enemy”
Once she sorted it out, they were even able to recover the area around the border, which was lost tee losses except the soldiers, who served as border security, and the instruction unit from Fokalore
If it proceeds as planned, Alyssa’s group has infiltrated Horant around this time and they have probably started to work on their subversive activities and investigation
Once she considers it like this, a faint impatience is born within Imeraria
“Even I, even I…” (Imeraria)
Afterthat, she recovers her serenity once she takes a deep breath
“Reflection”, “Horant”, “Nelgal” and “Ceasefire”
While recalling the long, gloomy sermon, she continues to write doords attentively
“Possible things” and “Is”
“I don’t seem to have the ability to depart for battle…” (Imeraria)
She already has no choice but to acknowledge that
Regarding the defence, it was a success and safe with Sabnak’s leadershi+p I wasn’t able to finda place where I could play an active role at the battle in the
“Things I’s I’m capable of…” (Imeraria)
I haven’t forgotten lect other things by single- on just Horant
However, if I just end up leaving the conclusion with Horant here to Alyssa and Hifumi, it will likely becomeinfluenced by Fokalore’s territory
“But, when it co a battle, military force becomes indispensable” (Imeraria)
At the present there is Orsongrande’s royal army led by Sabnak and the feudal ar with us
However, if one considers the ainst a whole country, that’s insufficient Practically spoken in regards to the battle, Horant’s side will be declared the winner if they end up overtaking Fokalore’s territorial soldiers, Irasped
“Decisive battle, conclusion, negotiations, ceasefire…” (Imeraria)
“Seeing that there’s no deciding war potential, we are couess?” While writing down the words she leaked with her voice, she suddenly realized a sense of discomfort
There’s a X between “Decisive battle” and “Conclusion”
Iently returned the pen to its holder, stares fixedly at the X mark with her blue eyes
“Things I can do… if it’s this!” (Imeraria)
As Imeraria stood up with a force about to knock over the chair and once she called out whether there’s anyone around, the door opened quietly
“You have called, Your Majesty?” (shi+byura)
“… shi+byura-san, you were still here…?” (Imeraria)
Watching shi+byura curtsying while respectfully pinching the skirt of her servant’s attire, Iain weakly slumped down on the chair
