Chapter 41 – Interruption of War

“W-What is that tre!?”

On the Gabranth side, witnessing the actions of Iveaed that it was indeed the work of the De

“Yeah This aulus)

In the face of such an extre his own, even Renion was clenching his teeth His hands naturally became sweaty

“Nyohohohoho! Well now, this is bad!” (Yuuhit)

“What is it, Yuuhit? What’s bad? Because they’re going to fire it in this direction?” (Renion)

As Renion asks, Yuuhit shakes his finger

“Non non If that were the case, they’d have to be closer in order to annihilate us But they stopped at the e, yes!” (Yuuhit)

“…You can’t mean!?” (Leowald)

King Leowald gasps as Yuuhit confirmed what he wanted to say

“That’s correct I’m afraid they…” (Yuuhit)

“To use such large ic… It can’t be!? N-No, but…” (Marione)

On the Evila side, the very first to realize was Marione Even though he came to that conclusion, however, he could not believe it

“To think Her Majesty would do such a thing…” (Marione)

A the enor to happen, but they are deeplythe power of the one they were supposed to protect

However, Marione was beside hiht they were going to do, he thought that he er a way to stop theirls plan to do (TL: 彼女ら, note a plural for woman, implies that Aquinas is also a woman as opposed to Unlimited Novel Failures’ description in Chapter 11)

He clenches his teeth and tells the out his words

“They are…” (Marione)

“They need to break the bridge” (Hiiro)

Hiiro gives an answer to Rarashi+k’s question Everyone aside from her, however, has a blank look on their faces

“Oh, and your reasoning?” (Rarashi+k)

“If they break the bridge then just as you said, it won’t be able to stop the war but it will delay it” (Hiiro)

“W-What do you mean?” (Arnold)

Arnold asks while furrowing his brow

“Isn’t that so? That bridge is the only thing connecting the two continents, right?” (Hiiro)

“…Ah!” (Arnold & Muir)

Both Arnold and Muir seem to understand what he said

“I get it! Destroying the bridge will stop their advance!” (Arnold)

“Y-Yeah, and if everything goes well, then just like Ms Master said, both sides may come out uninjured…” (Muir)

(TL: It sounds kind of aard, but I thought it’d be better than leaving it as shi+sho-san)

Then, Rarashi+k grinned and started applauding

“Congratulations You’re a smart one, boy” (Rarashi+k)

“Hmph” (Hiiro)

Hiiro didn’t feel bad being co looked down upon by a little girl, he felt conflicted

“No, wait… There’s no merit for them if they do that…” (Arnold)

Arnoldhis arms To that, Muir asked

“What do you mean?” (Muir)

“Because, they’re at war Especially because it was the Gabranth side that started it It not likely that they’ll do so There were ru war Rather, they’ve advanced across that bridge several times The war this time around is a convenient turn of events for the Evila Because the Gabranth are the ones that started it They wouldn’t go out of their way and destroy the bridge, would they? Since the Evila are stronger anyway” (Arnold)

“Ah, you’re right” (Muir)

“It’s like I said, right? Theoretically, it’s possible But there’s no e… Well, even if there were someone that could, he’d have to use close to all his power, so while it’s theoretically possible, there’s no one that would do it” (Arnold)

The Gedult Bridge, having been destroyed in the past bywould not occur again

Itlike co it would be difficult and there would be no reason to do so, so only theso has ever been presented

“Well, if the Evila have a reason to not fight and there is soe then they h” (Rarashi+k)

Rarashi+k says so, but they did not know that there is soht

“Is that so… So the war can’t be stopped after all…” (Arnold)

Arnold mutters, and Muir has a downcast look

“If only there was so… But, the world isn’t such an easy place” (Rarashi+k)
