138 Cat shield (2/2)

I can't have them listening in on our conversations.

'Do you have a minute? Tona?

I say to Tona where no one will hear me.

”No. Kuroki. I'd love to do you a favor, but I can't do that right now: ......

Tona blushes.

Wait! Mr. Tona! What are you thinking about?

I almost tsked.

'No. ....... It's not, it's .......

I tell him my plan in a whisper.

'I see, I hate to have to ask for that girl's help, but I don't see any other way.

Yes. Then let's go back.

When we return, Nell and Halseth are arguing.

Rage doesn't seem to have a good idea in mind.

'I need a moment. 'Prince. I have a better idea.

All eyes are on Totona.

'Totona!!!!'

'You've come up with something! That's what I'm talking about, Tona!

'Oh, that's Tona! O beautiful and wise God!

Huh. That's just like you, Totona-chan. Only a goddess of knowledge can do that.

Nell, Ishtia, Halseth, and Rage all praise Totoona in their mouths.

'I haven't said anything yet, but ....... 'Oh well. I need your help with something.

Tona looks at the fairy cat swordsmen (nyanko fencers).

If there's anything we can do to help, we'll do it, too.

D'Artagnan, the captain of Nell's SS fairy cat swordsmen (nyanko fencers), salutes.

'Thank you. D'Artagnan. Then I want you to come over here. Medjed, please.'

I nodded to myself.

After a few seconds, starting with D'Artagnan. I take a step forward.

The Zafarada in the image gives me a quizzical look.

'What? What's that weird thing?

I ignored Zafarada's doubts and proceeded to dance.

The sight of me dressed as Mejed, dancing in a strange way, is very funny to watch from the side.

I dance as happily as possible.

Zafarada seems to be too confused by the fact that the weird guy is dancing his way closer to him to give him orders.

In the meantime, he gets a little closer.

'You weirdos out there! Stop! I'll cut the cat's head off!

Zafarada comes to his senses in a few more moments.

But it's too late. I've gained enough distance.

I sneak the ring to my mouth under the cloth.

'My favorite coonah. Please give me a whistle.

I ask Kuna, who is supposed to be waiting behind the ring with a flute, to do me a favor.

The flute that controls the Ratman.

This is the flute Kuna obtained in the Republic of Ariadia.

I don't know how Kuna got this flute.

However, this flute is now the key to breaking through the situation.

He had contacted Kuna when he found out that the enemy had ratmen (ratmen) in their midst.

And he had contacted Kuna earlier and asked her to blow the whistle when she gave him a signal.

'I get it. I'll play the flute for my favorite Kroki.

Cuna's happy voice from the ring.

Immediately after that, the sound of a whistle sounds from the ring.

'Wind! Bring on the sound!

The magic of Totona's voice magnification is chanted from behind.

The wind carries the sound of the flute around.

Hearing the sound of the flute, the ratmen hear it and begin to dance.

'You're kidding! Is that the sound of my brother's whistle?! What does that mean?!

Zafarada's panicked voice.

But it's too late.

I myself throw the four fairy cat swordsmen (nyanko fencers) who were hiding under Medjed's clothes towards the ratman (ratman).

''Nyaaaaah!

The Fairy Cat Swordsman (Nyanko Fencer) pulls his sword out of the air and runs into the Ratman.

The Ratman is unable to resist, perhaps because he dances with the sound of his whistle.

He rescues the cats tied to his shield one after another.

'Now! Charge!

With Halseth's command, the Mummy Chariots (Chariots) troop led by Nephes charged in.

The chariots (Chariots) drawn by the Undead Horse (Undead Horse) are fast and reap one after another the skeletons.

The ghost knights (Spectre Knights) pull out beams from their eyes to keep the fairy cat swordsmen (Nyanco Fencers) from coming at them and keep them in check.

Rage and the dogmen warriors and the avian warriors also joined in, and that's how they kicked out the enemy's forces at once.

''Lie! This thing!

With that, the image of Zafarada disappears.

The rescued fairy cats (Ketsey) are hugging each other with great joy.

I'm relieved that I was able to make good on my promise to the cats.

'Thanks for your help. ”Thanks, Medjed. If it weren't for you, these kids wouldn't be safe.

Tona comes to us.

She smiles, a rare smile for the usually expressionless Totona.

It's a very, very lovely, wonderful smile.

When she smiles at me, I feel like I can do my best in anything.

'Thanks to you, Onii-san! Thank you cat!

Nell follows Tona and rubs against herself as she hugs him.

She's very happy.

The two of them compliment me, but I don't think it's just my luck and I don't feel like I'm helping them.

They happen to have gotten the rat man (Ratman) a whistle, and the rat man (Ratman) happened to be holding the cats hostage.

So it was embarrassing to be praised so highly.

'That's great, Tona. If it wasn't for your schemes, I don't know what would have happened.

Rage and Chiyuki come over here.

'It's really amazing. I didn't think they had the means to do this.''

Hmm. That's Felli's daughter.

Chiyuki and Ishtia praise Totona.

Apparently, they think it's Totona's plan.

'Wrong ....... 'What?' Medjed.

I interrupt Tona's attempt to tell her that she's different by putting a hand on her shoulder.

I shake my head that I don't have to say it.

I don't even think it's my power.

Then I don't mind Totoona's plan.

'Totoona! That's my goddess of knowledge! We've eliminated the enemy in this place! Come on! Let's hear your next move!

Halseth and Isdes come over here after sweeping the enemy's undead army.

They also seem to think it's Tona's plan.

''My Prince. I have no particular plan. There's no sign of anyone coming out ....... The rest will have to come inside to find out.

Tona is right, there is no sign of anyone coming out of the pyramid after the rat man (Ratman).

Since the hostages are inside, the only thing left to do is to go in.

I see. We'll move in. Isdes, we're going in!

Halseth commands, but Isdes shakes his head.

'Please wait! It's dangerous! Master Halseth will remain here! Of course, Master Ishtia and Master Nell, too!

Ischthia and Nell are not happy when Isdes tells them so.

However, Isdes doesn't seem to listen to them.

''Well, would it be alright if I left the rest to you?

Isdes looks at Rage and Totoona.

'Of course. It's my promise to the Lion Queen.

I know. I know, Master Isdes. I promise.

Rage and Totona nodded.

'Wait! It's Isdes! It's dangerous! Tona must stay!

'Yes! Tona's in danger!

Halseth and Nell disagree.

'It's all right. 'Nell. I have a strong ally.

Tona stroked her cheek, trying not to worry Nell.

'That's what I'm talking about, Prince. Totoona is counting on me. You're waiting quietly, aren't you?

Rage, who thinks Tona trusts him, is proud of him.

Halseth looks somewhat frustrated.

When he looks at Totoona, their eyes meet.

Somehow, her cheeks seem to be turning a little red.
