Vol 3 Chapter 22 (2/2)

“Should I say she made it on time? No, that may have been a little late”

Neshi+nbara e in front of the acade her hair in place due to the rough wind caused by Isaac’s shelling

“Heh heh Youto plan, but should you really be using that Satoe when they find you were sie It seems Lady Yoshi+tsune ordered this and Chancellor Yoshi+yori wished for it as well Satoht, but it’s stillthe and other attacks is really just an excuse, but in diplo as you have some kind of reason …Vice President Honda-kun just had to send a suggestion”

“Heh heh I was h with that flat Satoirl”

“What?” Neshi+nbara tilted his head “Why -lived are your jurisdiction, aren’t they?”

“Wh-what do you mean ‘Heh You fool’? That’s no way to talk about sos up!”

Asanore her With her, you lose if you even acknowledge her She’s a crazy person, after all A-and, Toori-kun’s been that way a lot lately too”

Wise Sister: “Heh heh What is Musashi+’s giant breasts gunner talking about? And would that be Giant Bregun for short? Is that soiant un Shriden Is that a giant robot?”

Asa Girl: “This is hopeless”

Meanwhile, the sounds on the battlefield changed

CoGods of war and Neshi+nbara muttered to himself as he listened to it

“It is currently 3:07 That leaves eight minutes The situation still has plenty of time to develop

That hen he heard voices on both sides down below

After circling to the south and north, Henri and Are the bridge leading to central Taht Neshi+nbara with raised eyebrows

He opened a few sign frame and spoke

“Intercept theht alongside IZUMO’s southern forest

Currently, three of Hexagone Française’s Lourd de Marionnettes had been coht Two had been defeated by Honda Futayo and the other by Satomi Yoshi+yasu who had joined the battle

…I have determined that Satomi student council president has been well-trained

After all, she had stabbed her upward-pointed blade into the right side of the Lourd de Marionnette’s chest

The fixed idea that blades were swung doard caused a lot of people to stab down at their enemy

However, she had instead pierced upwards

…She cut through it while swinging upwards as if to split the collarbone

Henri thought that had been an excellent decision

One could easily re it back and forth to loosen the flesh, but a Lourd de Marionnette wasa thin Far Eastern blade would chip or even break it

And so she had used an upwards swing

A cut to the side required a difficult diagonal angle and required a greater length to the cut, but a cut out through the top required a ht-up slash would be perfectly stable

This was the ht

“She is this skilled and yet a part of the student council rather than the chancellor’s officers I would like to face her, but…”

The blue canine Lourd de Marionnette had already circled to the Musashi+ side of the barricade and started to fight

With a total of five Hexagone Française Lourd de Marionnettes in the fight now that the recovered ones had returned, the blue dog and Futayo split theht

Satohting a purely defensive battle, but that was not accurate They were blocking the Lourd de Marionnettes’ attacks to draw their ai as bait to open a path for the Musashi+ warriors to return

And that had to be stopped

“Everyone, full speed!!”

With that shout, they fully rounded the corner of their detour and began to run

They continued on around to collide with their prey

But that was not what happened

Henri detected a sudden sound with her auditory devices It was a movement from the front of the Musashi+

Musashi+ had set up another bridge behind her unit and a group wastheir way down it

…Musashi+’s second formation!?

There were approxi to attack us from behind!?”

Tenzou and Mary stood at the front of the ranks The two of thea had helped with the preparations and Mary now faced the others from the center

She held Ex Collbrande in its coht

“Now, everyone, as Master Neshi+nbara ordered, ill now attack the Hexagone Française musketeer unit led by Lady Henri …It is a pleasure to ith all of you”

She gave a quick bow and everyone frantically straightened their backs and lowered their heads

But Mary gave a troubled smile

“U your respect to Coe,” they all replied with a sazes moved from Mary to Tenzou, their smiles vanished and they relaxed their poses

“So whaddya want?”

“Y-you all sure got casual in a hurry!”

Anyway, thought Tenzou Everyone here is a student originally froland itself, not Scotland or Ireland

He had actually been a little hesitant to send her out in front of the what kind of person Mary was in England and seeing Elizabeth’s acceptance of her, they seemed not to have a problem with her

In fact, they seeland

…That just shohat kind of person she is

I need to doto all of them

“Anyway, everyone I believe this will be the first actual battle against other people for soreat effort here if you ree,” they said with a small nod

Mary then turned to hie,” he said with a nod of his own and turned his thoughts toward her “I’m sorry, Mary-dono It may have only been on paper, but you were once a resident of Hexagone Française, weren’t you?”

“Do not worry” She lowered her eyebrows in a sh, Master Tenzou?”

“O-of course it is!”

Everyone in their ranks began to whisper

“This isa desire to kill soirl’s past like that? I can really feel the desire to kill welling up inside”

“Why does he have to be an English royal? …Ahh, it’s welling up inside !”

…Can I put a positive spin on this by saying I’ht?

But Mary smiled and bowed toward them all

“I have some snacks prepared for when this is over, so e!!”

They all frantically nodded and Mary nodded toward Tenzou before turning her back on them all She raised Ex Collbrande in her left hand and held Tenzou’s hand in her right

He squeezed her hand and a faint strength squeezed back

“Now, this is for the Justitia and pride of England and so that those virtues may be embraced and live on here in Musashi+ The sword is a linchpin and the shi+p is freedohty saints”

So…

“Bless those desperate to live, Ex Collbrande”

She nodded and let go of the sword

While floating, it quickly rotated and stood straight up in front of her

She grabbed its hilt once ainst her forehead, and inhaled

“Everyone, charge!!”

Asa from Takao

She wore her shrine maiden outfit and held her bow, but she did not prepare an arrow

She was using it for spatial tuning

Instead of an arrow, several char and she would pluck the string to send vibrations through them

“We need to tune the shi+p’s ether pathways and distribute the force of the shells across different parts of the shi+p! But the vibration will get really bad in anything related to the water pipes, so please tell me if they’re headed in that direction I can work to avoid that!”

She was speaking to people holding arrows or wearing shrinethe outer edge of the shi+p They all nodded and began plucking their tuning bows

The most powerful of the attacks on the Musashi+ would be dealt with by the gravity barriers or armor rackets wielded by the powerful students like Mitotsudaira However, they could not handlein parabolic arcs or the daments of shells

And so the sravity barriers

“Music!!”

She plucked her bow to tune accordingly The tuning distributed the ie was still there, but it spread through the shi+p along the ether fuel pipes to lighten the iht scrapes

…It’s like distributing a terrible injury into light scratches across your entire body

A bad enough injury would never fully heal and leave a bad scar, but scratches al

She was not sure if they could reduce the da

…Of course, if the attacks continue long enough, the entire shi+p will be destroyed

Neshi+nbara had made this decision because it was a small-scale battle

Novice: “A Tsirhc version of this has already been adopted using their authority to ‘distribute’, but with so the distribution is difficult and it would be dangerous without soe If the distribution shi+fted too heavily toward the engine division or somewhere similar, it would all be over”

Thather would feel the same about their own actions

All of those lined up and plucking their bowstrings had shi+nto-related or music-related part-time jobs Some were froous instruments

“I see Then feel theShrine Maiden Army ‘Yaagaku punk of the Orthodox Doujin Shrine Maiden Band ‘White Cover’[1]!!”

“Wait! It’s time for the Platonic Idealism Band ‘IDE-ON!’ to cross national borders!!”

…Our shi+nto groups have reached unprecedented levels of chaos over the past fewto protect the shi+p like this was perfect for a shi+nto worker who cleansed impurities And the shrine’s protective charht while triu her fist in her heart

Suddenly, a sign frame appeared

Wise Sister: “Co ti”

Me: “You’re right, sis It’s been so long since I saw her not shoot so ht, foolish brother It is worrying After all, she clai off bad luck, but she was actually shooting everything for the bad luck itself …In other words, she’s a bad luck junkie!”

…Kh! I can’t type a response when using both hands to pluck my bow! shi+nto has failed me!

No, this is fine, she pouted in her heart Nowhile on the job I need to stick to jobs like this and live a peaceful life from now on

…Yes, it isn’t a shrineFor exah Not only is shooting things part of their job, but they have to deal with all the tentacles too I’ve been studying with porn games lately, so I know all about what shrine ames! I promise!!”

She accidentally shouted her response out loud and h for water to rocket into the air from a fountain in Tama’s nature district

She frantically

…C-c-c-c-calm down

We’re under attack and it’s my job to protect us You could call this a shrine maiden defense, so…

At that point, she heard Naoht

“Nwah! Mito! I messed up my control!!”

“Eh?”

Asaht Jizuri Suzaku had passed Mitotsudaira an ar blew it off course

The silver chains frantically caught it, but it would not arrive in tiht Asama just as Mitotsudaira and Naomasa turned toward her

“Hurry!”

“W-hat!? Why do you sound like you’re expectingme what it is!? C’mon, Hanami, you tell the her gaze and setting up the usual shooting spell

“See, Asama-chi!? Hurry up and intercept it just like your own Mouse predicted!”

…Uht I don’t really want to shoot That’s right I’ it because they told e I’ht now, so it isn’t like I want to or anything Nope, not at all I’ll just set up a fixed pathway for the dispersion and…oh, dear It looks like I really have no choice To say it like Masazurettable Oh, it really can’t be helped Not at all Heh heh heh

“Hit!!”

After a great roar and burst of light froe, Neshi+nbara lad to see Asama-kun is in top form today”

“Heh heh heh That junkie shrine h speed shell Just how fast can she fire?”

Me: “She’s got to have researched how to strengthen her spell”

“Probably,” said Neshi+nbara just before he heard voices from the southern end of IZUMO

But these were not the voices of Tenzou’s unit as they pursued Henri’s musketeer unit These voices came from the woods even further south

“So they are here! This is the non-huular army!”

Two hundred people burst from the woods like the wind and most of them were beastmen They had their rassy plain while holding their specialized weapons or no weapons at all

The beastmen were headed toward Tenzou’s second for to attack them from behind

Neshi+nbara’s eyebrows rose when he saw their speed

“Wow, they really are faster than huanized!”

“Heh heh heh War nerd, is it justyou happy!?”

“I-I am not happy about this! O-oh no E-everyone is in souy’s hopeless,” ave an order

“Second formation, split apart!”

The second formation obeyed Neshi+nbara’s order while the beastman unit pursued them

Simply put, they split apart

The back half suddenly applied the brakes The split occurred just as they were taking the corner to pursue Henri’s musketeer unit

Everyone in the back of the unit was non-human They were pri They waved toward those continuing on ere either shadows or winged races

“Take care of Lady Mary!! And keep an eye on that ninja so he doesn’t try anything funny and can’t get too close!”

“Judge!” replied those continuing on “Make sure you hurry back! And don’t get too badly hurt!”

“Blades and bullets aren’t gonna kill us!!”

Those staying behind turned to the ene from the southern woods

“Honestly, I wish our secretary’s prediction hadn’t been so accurate”

“Judge It’s non-human vs non-human We don’t have any weapons that ork on us, so it co as a wall here”

“Well, that’s fine”

They all took low stances and a half-tiger beastroup that sank into the darkness of England, the land of roup that clai with the hu, we couldn’t settle which side was stronger If it’ll let us continue that fight, our stupid chancellor’s idea est”

Meanwhile, the eneed forward in lowered stances of their own and they let out a shout

“Enough talk! You have forgotten what it is to eat huht to speak of us as equals!”

“Is that so?” replied a girl with sheep’s horns on the Musashi+ side She tied the sash on her are of the people we see After all…”

A ing Hexagone Française unit were knocked over and bloay

“We happen to know some huures appeared in front of Musashi+’s non-human unit while wrapped in wind

The four people wore one Française unit stopped their charge and commented on the academy emblem on their chests

“The six coins! Are you the Sanada Ten Braves!?”

“Indeed we are,” said thecloak and was of medium build His narrow eyes were bent in a s the cloth bags attached to his unifore came over the front row of the non-human unit

Blood sprayed from their necks and they flew backwards

“What!?”

The large beasts only slowly raised his lowered head

And he opened his s mouth

“Now then,” he said “It is time for us outsiders to join in”
