Late again what a fucking surprise
In any case summer is has come to an end so I should have more tiaotsimilar
Confori, decided to step down due to college It was a blast working with youforward
I left Yado Inn cuz stuff happened
THE NOTELESS CHAPTER FOR 75 IS UNDER THIS ONE
And now the ard – The Sinner’s Sake (Melodic Death Metal)
The struggles of the Earlshyde Army
The day before invading the demon territory
The Earlshyde army is camped near the border of the former empire, now the border of the demon territory
Earlshyde, which is larger in size than the neighbouring countries, was able to send out tens of thousands of troops without receiving aid from Els and Ys
For the Earlshyde army, a certain measure was taken that wasn’t taken in other armies
This was the ic Acadehts academy
The World Union concluded that while there was no probleone exceptional deencies, and have alreadyed to suppress a number of demons from before the summer vacation
As it would serve as a good opportunity for the students to gain soh it’s only several hundred people, the students are acco the army on the march
However, while they’ve subjugatedThis tienuine military operation
Moreover it’s a global operation deployed simultaneously by several countries
“You’ve gone silent Kris Don’t tellnervous with demons as your opponent?”(Miranda)
“Miranda… No since we’ve hunted delobalin it”(Kris)
The students seeht academy, Kris
Until now, there was never a case where Knight Academy students were sent off to the battlefield
And now they were launched into a ide strategy
No ated a demon, it’s natural to feel nervous
“You seeh?”(Kris)
“Weeell… Maybe it’s because I heard of Maria’s hardshi+ps I cannot seem to think of my situation as extreme”(Miranda)
Because of such circumstances, as opposed to Kris who is nervous to participate in the operation rather than the deht’s Acade so carefree
When Kris asked about that, an unfamiliar name was mentioned
“Maria?”(Kris)
“Don’t you reuess she’s his fiance now? He did have a crush on her Other than her, there was another girl”(Miranda)
Reirl he had a crush on that was already taken by shi+n, Kris becahtly dejected
“After that joint drill, we got along strangely well and began to meet each other quite often”(Miranda)
“Is that so?”(Kris)
“Though Sicily was her childhood friend, she was busy preparing for her wedding to Walford, so whenever we had spare tiether”(Miranda)
“W- Wedding…”(Kris)
How enviable it is to have Sicily as a wife…! He grinded his teeth with a fitting expression
“Sigh… are you still dragging that along? Give up already Wasn’t the engagement officially endorsed by his er of God, not just to Earlshyde, but to the entire world you know? Even if you bend over backwards you can’t win”(Miranda)
“……”(Kris)
Miranda spoke in aKris to become more and more depressed
Someone called out to the two
“Leave it at that Miranda Or else Kris ht just break down”(Chris)
“Huhu, you’ve beco)
“Mister S-Siegfried! Christina!”(Miranda)
Siegfried and Christina wouldn’t usually go to the battlefield as part of the Knight’s Order or the Iuards to the royal fa out of the Royal Palace But the results they produced while looking after the students led the
“In any case, you beca)
“Y-Yes!”(Miranda)
“You don’t have to be so stiff And? What were you two talking about?”(Sieg)
Siegfried is very popular with girls
He’s a icians There are also fans ahts, and Miranda is one of them
It would be unreasonable for her to not be nervous while talking to someone she looks up to
“Err, Uhed to MrWalford and they’re openly flirting around every day… Rather than irritation she’s growing more dismal…”(Miranda)
“Err…”(Sieg)
“Will we ever meet the special someone? Or…”(Miranda)
“…”(Sieg)
“…How should we find a good man? Or…”(Miranda)
“Enough! Enough already Miranda!”(Sieg)
Siegfried who slu to end the conversation
“Miranda…”(Chris)
“Yes?”(Miranda)
“…Let’s do our best together”(Chris)
“MsChristina… Yes…”(Miranda)
The toood man
Meanwhile, Christina noticed a certain thing
“Oh? That sword…”(Chris)
“Oh, yes It’s a sord purchased froot how I na that now)
“Yes Since it’s so the ot it Did you purchase it yourself?”(Chris)
“Yes It was recommended by Maria This as well”(Miranda)
Saying that she looked down at her feet
“Mhht jet boots as well”(Chris)
“Maria also bought theather thea part-time job as a monster hunter”(Miranda)
“Is that so? That’s wonderful Miranda You don’t despair at the difference in ability between you and shi+n, and you have the determination to shrink that distance I wish the others would follow your example”(Chris)
While Sicily went to shi+n’s house to prepare for the wedding, Maria as left behind was deepening her friendshi+p with Miranda
Before irl friend
“Well… Compared to Maria’s responsibility I’m totally free”(Miranda)
Her friend is the pivot of the strategy as a part of the Ultiicians
With that in hts position as the leaders, her own position is relatively miserable
Cowardliness won over nervousness
“…Do you want to be strong?”(Chris)
“Yes At the very least I want to be able to proudly say I’m friends with Maria”(Miranda)
Within Miranda’s eyes lay a strong will of wanting to be strong in order to help her friend out
“Well said Miranda let ”(Chris)
“Y-Yes!”(Miranda)
“You’re co to the front lines with me I will train you personally”(Chris)
“Huh?”(Miranda)
“Understood?”(Chris)
“Y-Yes! Thank you very much! I will do my best!”(Miranda)
“Haha, someday, I hope you’ll be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Maria”(Chris)
“Yes!”(Miranda)
Thus, from the students, only Miranda was allowed to directly enter the battlefield
After Christina explained it to her superior, she took Miranda to eat with her
Siegfried and the other students just stood there watching in surprise
“The two of you, what are you doing surrounding yourself o)
Siegfried sighs as he thinks of the distancing Spring of their youth, given their abrasiveness, and decides to take on the role of leadershi+p upon himself
And the next day
Finally, the dey starts
“Listen up! Unlike the other countries, we cannot receive the support of Walford’s Ultiicians! Therefore, if a disaster class or even a devil appears by some misfortune, we must deal with it ourselves!”(Dominic)
Dominic, as present at the departure cere Gate
But understandably, the soldiers looked uneasy when they heard Dominic say they would have to kill a disaster class by themselves
“But don’t be afraid! Especially the ained !”(Rupert)
Thespeech
At first glance, there were many people that looked anxious but their determination could be seen in their eyes
“Knights as soldiers as well! Your new equipment you shed blood for… No, that which has literally been stained by blood in order to use I will also tell you this You are strong!”(Dominic)
Knights and soldiers who have a fierce rivalry with the eous shout to Dominic’s speech
While being conscious of each other the morale rose to its peak
“So let’s go Forward!”(Dominic)
[OOOOOOOOOO!!]
And so, the Earlshyde army advanced into the demon territory
Once again, no demons appeared immediately, but after a while…
“They’re co!”
“Everyone! Combat stations! Rupert, make the call”(Dominic)
“Sure thing! Magic Division! Prepare attack ic!”(Rupert)
Earlshyde Magic Division started gathering nal
It was a coht from other countries
No one chanted
“FIRE!”(Rupert)
At the saic without a chant
The ic in a way that it was carefully manipulated so that it doesn’t offset each other as much as possible, and in a completely different dimension
“A…”
Students of the Advanced Magic Acadeic fired chantless with amazement in their eyes
“Hey Like what you see? Isn’t the ic of shi+n and his peers on a cofried)
To Siegfrieds words, the students of the Advanced Magic Academy kept quiet
Two thirds of the students participating are shi+n’s seniors and the rerade
They are the pivot of the strategy in charge of getting rid of disaster classes and devils
While their battlefield experience is being under guidance
Regretfully, the abilities of the juniors were too distant so they had harboured corandson of a hero so it can’t be helped’
Siegfried who read their expressions as giving up, asked them
“Have you read the article published by the Institute of Magic and Science?”(Sieg)(TN: I’m sorry I really don’t relossary after this)
To Siegfrieds words, the students look down
Increasing the aic power you control will increase the power of ic
It was an officially published article but of course they haven’t read it
“Why didn’t you read it? Are you only counting what you learn fro? shi+n never e And he never stopped self iician outside of reason He wasn’t born with special power Everything was the result of hard work”(Sieg)
To be fair, shi+n was born with “knowledge” which were the fried said, he wasn’t born with any special “power”
When they heard that, life came back to the eyes of the students
It’s frustrating But if you can do it if you work hard then they too could
Such determination dwelled in their eyes
“If you understand, go help the)
[Yes!]
Advanced Magic Academy students stepped onto the battlefield
“By the way, you lot fro)
Continuing on, Siegfried turned to the Knight Academy students…
“…I don’t understand )
Since Christina isn’t here, she can’t pass on to thee
Siegfried continues to the student who seems to have jolted
“I don’t understand it but you’re the sa)
Expectedly, all the Knight Academy students looked down
“I can’t give specific instructions because Chris isn’t here but…”(Sieg)
Siegfried looks over to everyone as he says that
“Re)
The students start raising their heads
“Miranda wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with Maria so she bought a sword by herself, bought jet boots, actually participated in de)
Think for yourself instead of following the teacher
They believe that if they just do as the instructor says, they’ll becoer
“That’s coht Order actively acquire new technologies and techniques to beco)
After saying that, Sieg turned back to the battlefield-
There was a sight where the knights wearing heavy ar around up, down, left and right A spectacle uniinable until now
“Haha Now this is a spectacle Is it fine? You guys If you stay like this, won’t you be left behind by the Order and Miranda?”(Sieg)
The Knight Academy students that heard those words had faces as if they’ve decided on so
“We trained to slay de a hindrance! We’re also going!”
[OOOOOOOO!!]
When a third grader, a leader like figure, raised his voice, the rest of the students charged after him onto the battlefield
“Hah, good grief I guess I should follow the)
After scolding the students into stepping onto the battlefield, Siegfried went to join them when…
“A disaster class appeared!”
Although he was prepared, he received a report he didn’t want to hear
“Tch! What ti)
He stopped going after the students and headed towards the disaster class
Now then, what do we have here…
“…What is that? A… Rhino?”(Sieg)
There were several aniht to be unable to transform into demons
Huory as well as rhinos, one of which is right in front of their eyes, elephants and also sea creatures such as whales etc
Huic power on their own accord but some animals have displayed similar characteristics
The reason being they’re huge
Therefore it was thought that large animals couldn’t become demons…
“Oi, oi… Just what is this!?”(Sieg)
What it as a rhinoceros de
“Hey! What is that!? I’ve never heard of a rhinoceros turning into a demon!!”
“This is bad! Get away from it!”
“Ah! Don’t run away right in front of it!”
Perhaps frustrated by the restless soldiers rushi+ng to get away in front of it, the rhino charged with its huge body
“Get out of his way! Ju)
Siegfried cried out and the soldiers ere in the rhinos path powered up their jet boots and jumped out of the way
Just ould’ve happened if they didn’t have jet boots
Still…
“Aah! Tch! This guy!”(Sieg)
Several people ere in the vicinity of the rhinoceros when he began the charge were delayed and got caught in his charge
It’s weight must be proportionate to it’s massive body and survival was out of the question
Those ere far away, also got out of the way, leaving the other demons unattended
Again, all of the jet boots
The soldiers scattered in all directions like baby spiders but the demons remained where they were There…
“Uaa! The de us…”
The rhinoceros charged again, tralected demons
“This is… So terrible showed up”(Chris)
“Chris Miranda, are you alright as well?”(Sieg)
“Y-yes!”(Miranda)
The voices belonged to Chris and Miranda who appeared next to Siegfried
Both of them seemed to have escaped
“What should we do about it?”(Chris)
“Even if you ask )
“What did you come up with?”(Chris)
“Well, just look”(Sieg)
Siegfried looked back to the battlefield without answering Christina’s question
And looked for a e to unleash his ic
Siegfried’s all out ic division but…
“Tch! What hard skin No da)
The rhino deic
He activated the jet boots and jumped out of the rhino’s path
“Oh, they’re being overrun”(Sieg)
When Siegfried looked back before releasing the ic shot, it was not to check if any soldiers were in the line of fire
It was to confirm whether there were demons or not
Because of his big body, once the rhino starts rushi+ng he can’t change direction or stop easily
Because he trafried decided to use that todemons
The strategy seems to have worked out excellently
“Were they reduced drastically?”(Sieg)
“Siegfried is a! The demons have diminished considerably!”(Miranda)
“Sieg, you…”(Chris)
“What is it?”(Chris)
“…Aren’t you starting to think like shi+n?”(Chris)
“Hey! Seriously?!”(Sieg)
While Miranda was sifried who had returned, Christina quitely pointed out that it was a strategy shi+n would think of
When he heard it, Siegfried couldn’t hide his shock
In any case, Siegfried’s strategy seems to be effective
The soldiers atching incited the rhino in the same way to trample the demons
Other soldiers rounded up the deh
The other deeable now
“The proble)
“Sieg’s full power ic was easily brushed off”(Chris)
“damn! Well, it’s an ani into a de)
“But… What should we do then?”(Miranda)
Miranda, as listening to Sieg’s and Chris’ discussion asked how to break through
“Well, the skin may be thick, but the joints aren’t”(Chris)
“Then… Is it our turn…”(Miranda)
“Attack the joints with a sword That’s the only choice we have left…”(Chris)
“Y- you people…”(Miranda)
It’s protected by hard skin, but if it’s joints were hard it couldn’t charge
Both the legs and the neck will probably be soft
Then there’s no way to take it down but to strike its neck with a sword
“Well then, I’ll stop it Go for its neck in the opening”(Sieg)
“Stop it… Can you do it?”(Chris)
“Yeah I’)
“A ht”(Chris)
“Huh? So easily?”(Miranda)
Siegfried ca shi+n hunt and Chris decided there was no problem with that
Even though Miranda saw shi+n’s power, she was surprised the approval was given so quickly
“Idiot! Co)
Siegfried released uided the rhino to a certain distance
When he saw the rhino begin to charge once ic
A large earth wall appeared in front of the rhino
“Ther- There’s no way a ill stop it!”(Miranda)
Miranda raises a sorrowful voice to the fact the stopping method is an earth wall
“I see So it’s like that”(Chris)
“Huh? What do you mean?”(Miranda)
“You’ll understand when you see it More importantly… Everyone! The rhinoceros will stop soon! Prepare for attack!”(Chris)
A command come from Christina, who believes the rhino will be stopped by that
She didn’t doubt the words of Christina she adht, but she couldn’t believe it
And then
“bumOOOOOO!!”
Rhino’s charge destroys the earth ith ease
“Aghhh!”
It was useless after all Miranda thought so but her eyes opened wide because of what happened after that
In the first place, as the earth wall made of?
An earth wall isn’t just created out of nothing
“A… Hole…”(Miranda)
He collected soil on froround tofroround
A pitfall concealed behind the earth wall
The rhino lost his footing and grandly fell into the pit
“Alright! Now! Go!”(Sieg)
“I’! Follow me!”(Chris)
“OOOOOOOO!!”
Siegfried issued a command to Christina, as a cloud of dust swirled up froave a cohts in response
It’s breathtaking
Knights activate their jet boots and attack the fallen rhino one after another
Miranda’s figure could also be seen ahts
“TAKE THIS!”(Miranda)
She strikes with the full power of her body but, being slightly thinner than the others, it can’t penetrate the skin as easily
“Ugh! It’s hard!”(Miranda)
“Move, young lady! Ooooraaaa!”
While Miranda was having difficulties piercing the skin, the knights next to her raised their swords but…
“shi+t! It’s really hard!”
“If this keeps up it’ll get out soon! Quick!”(Chris)
The fallen rhino was raging while surrounded by a large nuhts
As Christina said, it’s likely to get out however, they can barely hit it with it raging like that
Their foothold shook Could they really not do anything? Miranda thought of an idea
“Everyone get away!”(Miranda)
“Hah? What…”
The knights who reacted to Miranda’s shout saw…
The figure of Miranda who activated jet boots, soared into the sky and plu doards
“UOOOOOO! You’re sure reckless!”
“GOOOO”(Miranda)
Miranda thought that she couldn’t transh her hands so she stood on the swords hilt and fell onto the rhinos neck froht that she couldn’t transh her hands so she stood on the swords hilt and fell onto the rhinos neck from above
And the sword dug into the rhinos neck which only had small scratches until that point
“OO! You did it! Young lady!”
“But I haven’t reached it yet… Tch! The sword!”(Miranda)
It digged in yes, but the souldn’t come out
She tried desperately to pull it out but then re
“Oh, I can just remove it”(Miranda)
While the swords blade was stuck in the rhino’s neck she removed it which was a feature of the sord
Then, seeing the stuck sword blade, she hit it again
Miranda put her foot onto the stuck sword blade…
“Miranda, what are…”(Chris)
“Hiyaaa!”(Miranda)
She activated jet boots at full power
Then the sword cut deeper with the momentum of the jet boots
“bumOOOOOOOO!!”
The rhinoceros was suffering because of the sword stuck deep in his neck
However you can’t cause a fatal injury with a sword smaller than the body
Nevertheless, an opening was visible
“It’s effective! We’ll follow suit!”
The knights that saw that, took flight and struck with swords as they descended
“Woah! Careful! You grazed me!”
“Sorry! The fine tuning is a bit…”
There was an accident where a knight descended closely where another knight fell but the swords are getting sucked into the neck of the de
While the knights pierced with swords and left the blades, Miranda, who stabbed first, descend froain
“GOOO!”
Burying the sword in the neck, re jet boots
There was already a number of swords stuck in the rhinoceros deave one final convulsion and turned silent
“Oh…?”
“How is it?”
A voice could be heard fro those below them
“The disaster class is down! Subjugation complete!”
A knight inspected the demon and confirmed it was slain
[OOOOOOOO!!]
The excited soldiers raised a loud victory shout to the subjugation of the disaster class
“Halt your celebration! There are still re demons!”(Dominic)
[OOOOOOOO!!]
Doh spirits, but thedemons
“You don’t have to go You can rest a little”(Dominic)
“C-Commander Dominic!? B-But…”(Miranda)
Do Miranda that went after the re demons
Miranda is surprised the top person in the Earlshyde ar to her
But everyone else went to suppress the demons and only she was told to stay and rest, so she headed off despite her staggering self
“Please rest well Aren’t you still a student?And you subjugated the disaster class, shouldn’t you take it easy?”(Dominic)
It was the second time she had seen a disaster class
However, unlike the joint training where shi+n overwhelation this time
The er than the physical one
“In any case, well done Wonderful”(Dominic)
“O-oh, thank you!”(Miranda)
Miranda is excited to receive encouragement from Dominic
“Falling fro to come up with that”(Dominic)
“Oh, that, Maria…”(Miranda)
“Maria?”(Dominic)
“Coicians, Maria von Messina”(Miranda)
“What!? Was that so!”(Dominic)
Miranda tensed up to Dominic’s sudden outburst at the mention of a familiar name Christina worked hard
“That… After purchasing jet boots, I worked with Maria hunting demons part tih I borrowed some money from Maria…”(Miranda)
As a student, she’s doesn’t have a salary so her only income is an allowance from her parents
However she doesn’t receive enough to buy ical tools such as jet boots and swords
So during su part time and even borrowed some money from Maria who is rather well off in order to pay for the new equipment
“But that’s dangerous Students working part time to hunt demons”(Dominic)
“Because Maria was there That girl… Recently, she said she was bored of hunting all the disaster classes…”(Miranda)
“…she hunted enough, to grow tired of hunting disaster classes…”(Dominic)
Dominic’s worries are justified, but she’s accoh to take down a disaster class by herselfHis worries were for naught
“At that ti she called a [jump stab] Apparently she saw Walford do it… It only suddenly occurred toblow”(Miranda)
“Walford thought of that at first… Did he? I’m convinced by that alone”(Dominic)
“Don’t worry Commander Me too”(Christina)
“I get it too My pitfall was also originally his idea Just what is going on in that head of his?”(Sieg)
Miranda re what shi+n did
As Siegfried said as he came up to Miranda, he i with shi+n
How many layers are there to shi+n?
