Chapter 22: Those who Participate in the Great Activity

What should be done

Before charging in?

Point Allocation (Criticis her silver chains and are of Tama’s deck, Mitotsudaira saw the land of IZUMO jump

The crust had shot into the air

This was due to a giant haravitational control

This attack by Arround to sink down before shooting back up from the recoil The effects covered a radius of two hundredand then broke apart

Adele had been in that area, but Mitotsudaira could not see her any, the ground fell and buried everything under what looked like a small mountain

Amid the roar of the collapse, Mitotsudaira took a dazed breath

…Ah

Just as she wondered what had happened to Adele, a sign frame opened

Sanyou: “Waaaaah! Balfette-san! Why did one of us have to be buried!?”

Wise Sister: “Heh heh heh Sanyou-sensei, what do you e?”

Sanyou: “Kh! G-glasses! I lasses! …And Adele-san was buried!”

Silver Wolf: “D-don’t worry! She’s fine!”

Mitotsudaira had spotted Adele

Her trust that her classirl

She was up above

“She jumped!!”

As she looked up into the sky, she saw Adele’son the Musashi+

This was the sa the shell’s survival lockdown system that she had used in London

Mitotsudaira breathed a sigh of relief at the vassal’s h the sky

…An excellent decision!

The girl had likely activated it the instant the earth sed her up She was rotating a little and her flight was unstable, so she would fall over and slaround when she landed

But…

“She wasn’t buried! Someone support her when she lands!”

Mitotsudaira wished she could go help, but Neshi+nbara had decided this was her post

…And because I’ht not be able to leave in time

Those down beloere primarily a diversionary force and Adele was a fast runner if she abandoned the mobile shell

The same decision had been made about shi+rojiro, Heidi, and the others and Naoht because Jizuri Suzaku had yet to be repaired enough to actually fight All of the the shi+p just like her

But Mitotsudaira thought while deflecting the shell fragments

Even if she had not been so slow, she likely would not have been allowed down below

…After all, I a their stay here, she had not descended to IZUMO even once

And this was not new She had done the sa a promise with her mother

She co of that prohts she could not speak aloud But…

Her lupine hearing picked up a certain noise and her nose picked up a certain scent

…The s God of war oil!?

Mitotsudaira realized the loud roar she heard came from God of war movement and the smell of oil was that of God of war activation

The four enemy Gods of war that had been hit by the initial stakes were recovering

…This isn’t good!

She was filled with quite a few thoughts and doubts, but right now she had to defend the Musashi+

And to do that, she shouted out the fact she had just detected

“Lookout to HQ! Hexagone Française’s God of war unit is recovering!”

But that was not all The enemy had more than their Gods of war now

Henri and Ar around the south and north sides of the half-destroyed barricade Letting theerous Futayo was currently battling the Gods of war there, but the girl had her hands full with theainst the auto slowed by the auto auto Adele’s unit!?

Mitotsudaira saw the enee from the starboard deck! The advance unit beyond the barricade is in danger! Isaac and his God of war auto to fire!”

Heidi sahile running around the deck and reinforcing different areas with money

Isaac of the Three Musketeers carried automatons on his shoulders and arms while he stood in the central field that stretched from Tama’s starboard side to the west side of IZUMO However…

“Eh!?”

Isaac transfor for the autouns

The end of the uns had a flower-like er than a shi+p’s guns!! They’re not as long as the cannons on Tres España’s San Martín, but still”

The long barrels expanded in stages and they had already reached thirty meters which surpassed his arms or body

He had one from each arm and the autoiant bullets and pouring in cartridges of spell gunpowder that were the size of a hu

Heidi knew that both the caliber and the barrel length were used to measure the power of a cannon

The roar of both arh the south end of IZUMO

The shockwave of the blast bleay everything within two hundredwave along the land of IZUMO At the center, Isaac created a barrier with his gravitational control to protect the Belle de Marionnettes on his arms and shoulders and he braced himself and stabilized himself as the recoil pushed him upwards

For just an instant, even the dust was cleared fros and he saw a truly clear space around hiht was the only thing nearby

…Ah

In this perfect space with no waste, he felt he alone was impure

He only had to fulfill his role as a weapon, but that brought so

I want to becoht Is that not the ideal for a, would he find the answer? Would he grasp some trick he had yet to learn and becoht and rotated the external gyros on his right musket to stabilize the barrel

“Hit confirh-speed vision observed his shells flying directly toward the Musashi+

Neshi+nbara le response as Isaac’s attack flew in lower and more powerfully than a shi+p’s shell His voice carried over the divine transmission

“Use the standard e,” replied Mitotsudaira, who had reported on Isaac’s attack, and the engine department’s work Gods of hich were positioned behind her

Mitotsudaira had soundproof torii-shaped erabbed and threw so over her head

“Musashi+’s external armor!”

She sent two silver chains toward the five meter square panel of armor On every side and behind her, “Musashi+” and other autorabbed the ar the armor panel like a racket into the air off the Musashi+’s starboard side

That was the space “Tama”, captain of Ta torii-shaped emblem marked the spot “Musashi+” and the others had opened a dozen or so torii-shaped barriers in front of that spot to slow the shells’ speed

They tore through those barriers like paper, but their speed did drop slightly and Mitotsudaira was able to act

“Receiiiive!!”

Just before the cut-like strike, she released the ar the panel in the air with its surface pointing upwards

It finally collided with the two high-speed shells

“Judge!”

As the shells burst and the sparks and explosion blew through the air, so it on divine television

They wore ver a number of stands set up in a plaza One of them, a man with transparent feet, raised his chopsticks toward the divine television

“You idiots! You got onna copytoo worked up …Oh,The armor panel just hit the surface of the shi+p pretty hard Well, I guess they decided that was better than a direct hit”

“Don’t you two have practice?” asked Segundo from another stand

Fusae waved a hand his way

“What’s that, chancellor? Do you want to be alone with Ju that badly?”

“Um, Juana doesn’t kno to handle that kind of co a bit next to him, but she kept her eyebrows flat and spoke

“If it is necessary, I do not mind But…” She turned back to the battlefield displayed on the stand’s divine television “Chancellor, what do you think of this footage sent by the PR Coundo who simply crossed his arms, Flores Valdés turned toward her with bowl in hand

“Is that even a question? This shows just how good Musashi+ is, right? They’re having a firefight with Gran Muñecas, after all”

“Sister, you are very kind to go along with Lady Juana’s desperate atte look for, Lady Juana? Sister, do not say you only now realized what she was doing You are only lare at me even more”

“Well, I’th is in a lot of areas”

“Really?” asked everyone

“They seeht to ave a sth, Musashi+’s student council and chancellor’s officers are on the sah in Mikawa, England, and with us during the arht shi+ps of the Musashi+, their durability, size, and cruising ability e obstacle indeed”

But…

“Hexagone Française has used the late tie to analyze those previous exa the Musashi+ would be too difficult, they si that as a condition for their victory Also, they can avoid an attack froe And if Musashi+’s officers are highly skilled…”

She looked to the screen where Musashi+’s vice chancellor was fighting Hexagone Française’s Gran Muñecas

“Oh,” said someone as Musashi+’s vice chancellor defeated one of them

Musashi+ had scored a small victory

However, everyone stared at Juana whose expression was not at allthem via divine transmission

She then nodded and turned toward Fusae

“Do you understand, 2nd special duty officer?”

“Hh”

Fusae turned toward them all and crossed her blurry feet on top of her chair

“For about fourtheir pieces while assu they will have to make some sacrifices”

Namely…

“First, they sent in their Gran Muñeca unit which prevented Musashi+ fro this with duels Look Just look It took quite a bit of time for Musashi+’s vice chancellor to defeat just the one Gran Muñeca, right? But the pilot wasn’t their vice chancellor, was he?”

“Oh,” said Flores as she realized what Fusae was saying “Hexagone Française’s vice chancellor hasn’t shown up yet They’re an unknobie”

“I thought we one Française has ed to hold off Musashi+’s vice chancellor for several le Gran Muñeca Meanwhile, their musketeer unit and main unit are co as Musashi+ can’t use their eight shi+ps or bring in the rules of duels between representatives, they do not have the spare firepower needed to take on a large nation I don’t know if proving that with the Gran Muñeca unit was ainst us, but it does uess this is the new vice chancellor they got the other day”

“That’s right,” agreed Segundo while bringing the edge of his bowl to his mouth “But Fusae-kun, you look like you have more to say”

“Testament I do” Fusae lowered and relaxed her shoulders “Musashi+ had this saland supplied theation and manpower and they developed other methods on their own In other words, they overcaotiation and other artificial one Française meets the same fate we did”

Adele was still shaken, but she faced and ran forward nonetheless

After landing, she had fallen and rolled a dozen or so times, but her mobile shell was unhar to eat or drink since an early lunch

She had been shaking around where she was fixed in place inside, but she had been trained to control a fallen or rollingas a vassal She still felt a squeezing in her sto

One hundred meters ahead, she saw the backs of the others who had started toward the Musashi+ but found themselves cut off by the barricade and the God of war unit

Hurry, she told herself I need to hurry and protect the others That’s what a mobile shell is for

The musketeer’s swords had told her she could take an attack on the God of war level, so she worked to catch up with the others and…

…From the left!

The feht with her unit

A bit farther back, Ar to the left

If she was to find a gap, the tied herself while gathering strength in her knees that threatened to give out

The God of war auto the shockwave of those shots, the rear group of eneht of Adele and her unit

The enemy’s movement was clear

The Gods of war had for to the Musashi+

Then, Henri and Are from either side and the shockwaves of Isaac’s shellfire would pursue them from behind

…It won’t be the automaton musketeer units that deal with us once we can’t return to the Musashi+ That will be done with a pincer attack fro Royal Guards who are pri the victory to their powerful Gods of war or auto themselves a victory in a match between humans Even if they did not reach the Musashi+, that would increase the ione Française had won

Ever since the Gods of war had circled behind the advance unit, it had looked like Futayo was holding them at bay, but the exact opposite was true Whoever had co instructions: if you do not achieve anything in the initial charge, shi+ft your focus to allowing our human forces to achieve as much as possible

They had a skilled tactician So…

“Hurry!”

Adele ran

She was only one hundred meters from the broken barricade Without her arround, she could have run that distance in no ti e it was to think that on the battlefield, how much it bothered her, and various other contradictory ideas pursued each other in her heart

But…

She could see the others up ahead as they hesitated over whether to circle around or pass through the broken barricade And they soon noticed her

“Hey, everyone! Musashi+’s flat but hard shi+eld is here!!”

“Oh, is she going to take the hits for us, as strange as that is!?”

“Is that what she’s into? How praiseworthy!”

…When did I become that kind of character!?

At any rate, I need to hurry, she thought while urging herself ever onward

Suddenly, another color appeared between her and the others

It was blue, it was quite large, and Adele gave reflexive shout

“Stand back! An Hexagone Française’s God of war has recovered!”

As soon as she said that, the God of war began to ed to recover, but it swung its short sword toward the Musashi+ warriors

The giant sword struck quick rapping around it, but it was stopped in midair

However, that slash had not been stopped by the single recovered Hexagone Française God of war itself

So had struck and stopped its wrist

The tip of a scabbard jabbed sharply into the wrist joint that was linked by wire cylinders

The long red scabbard ielded by a blue God of war encased in Far Eastern armor It held the hilt of the sword and the exterior of its head was

“I am Satomi Academy Student Council President Satoe could reach our trade shi+p, so I have been sent out in Righteousness to provide a warning”

The blue dog God of war asked a question after na itself

“assume that I will decide how to handle this based on your next actions”

A single noise gave the sign to oppose Yoshi+yasu’s words

Isaac continued firing his ed the battle to continue and so Hexagone Française’s Lourd de Marionnette pulled back the wrist hit by the scabbard

And it silently and swiftly tried to reverse its wrist for an attack of its own

But it could not reverse its wrist Its sight devices worked to determine why and they saw a certain fact: the red scabbard was still pressed against its wrist

…What?

The scabbard had not grown longer

The Sato the scabbard forith its left hand and pulling the blade toward its own shoulder with its right hand

The movements of its hands had simply pushed the scabbard away from the hilt

The action required a perfect prediction of the path and speed of the Hexagone Française Lourd de Marionnette’s wrist That hy it had not noticed anything wrong when pulling back its wrist and why its wrist was perfectly pinned

Before the pilot could even guess as to corettable answer”

An instant jab stabbed halfway into the right side of its chest
