Chapter 46 (1/2)

こうして旗が翻る

Popii Buryuser had a sliver of hope over this battle that had just started

If the prisoners were to get achieveht be absorbed Even if the criet shortened While holding her weapon, she was praying for luck at war

“Popii Buryuuser, you´ve been ordered to go to the office”

That´s why at the time when she was called to the office… She violently fell down

There was no way her beloved and unreliable Rook would go visit her in his own accord If that was the case, she would have gone Even though she had had in her hands a once in a lifetiaps of her fingers If her position was a bit higher, ainst those orders However, the one calling her was the head of the temple Someone of a branch family like her is not someone that would be able to oppose him

“…Yes”

Popii unwillingly followed the orders

While carrying her weapon, in heavy steps, she went to where Theodour was Arriving at the office, she saw Theodour looking outside theHe wasn´t wearing an armor and didn´t have a sith hiht as the head of the te with the battle happening right now While Popii was doubting her own eyes, Theodour slightly bent his head towards Popii

“You´ve come”

“Yes…Then, would you have any business with me?”

“U to do with the reconciliation with the demons after we surrender, but…”

“Wha-!?”

Popii was lost for words

Thehe could do, he had already given up on the battle fro and was clu to the de the pride of the spiritualists Popii´s body treer When she was about to move her hand to her weapon, Theodour raised his hand as if to tell her not reckless

“Well, well, try to think The difference in nureat Even if ere to add the prisoners, they would be only a few tens of people With only these many spiritualists, there is no e can defeat them Besides, from what I saw from the … There is also a red haired demon that is worth for a thousand soldiers there ”

“That´s why… You will surrender? Are we, the spiritualists, going to sell our pride to the demons!?”

Seeing Popii putting intonation on her last words, Theodour smiled

“That´s why I made a plan”

“Plan?”

Being asked that by Popii, Theodour nodded with a “u away from the , he walked over to Popii The sounds of the battle that was spreading outside were being heard from somewhere at the distance

“Rather than surrendering, ill negotiate for peace You know, they definitely came here for a reason In that case, if ere to let the for… We will inevitably be able to settle this peacefully”

“Well, that would be so… Then, are you planning to send theotiate with them?…No, it wouldn´t work”

While saying that to herself, she decided that this wasn´t the case

The deine they would be so stupid as to eat the food given to them at the enemy territory without any hesitations If they were stupid like that, the spiritualists would have already annihilated the that is capable of thought, even if limited, it was certainly necessary to have some schemes

“Umu Actually, Potii Buryuuser, in this banquet… I want you to play your instruive us the advantage, you see”

“…I see You were talking about that”

Potii was able to understand She had finally understood the reason she had been called and was able to accept it Popii was slowly caressing her weapon… The case of the musical instrument

“If I´m not mistaken, your attribute was slu your attribute, no matter which demon, they would all fall asleep”

“But… This is an attribute infusing It would put humans to sleep too”

“I don´t care As long as you don´t fall asleep yourself, there are no problems Isn´t it fine to just ?”

Theodour and the other spiritualists that would be participating at the banquet would fall asleep together with the de the instrument, Popii herself, wouldn´t fall asleep After all of the, all it was necessary to do was to cal their commander then, the demons would have lost their leadershi+p in only these few moments And then, after that it was easy All they needed to do was sink the demons that would have had retreated to their shi+ps with their fleet

“In short, this e de their fighting force”

“And if we defeat their strongest soldiers, our side would also have our ht?…I understand”

“Therefore, you won´t be participating at the banquet as an spiritualist, but as an instrue your clothes”

“Yes”

Usually, she wouldn´t want to comply with orders like that However, only this time it was different

She would be able to get the heads of those ambitious demons that ca her sentence shortened wasn´t a dream anymore Perhaps she would receive a permission to stay outside of the island for some days

“Wait for me, Rook”

Her beloved one

He was her important person, who had treated her with equality despite her being nothing more than someone from a branch family But differently from his appearance, he was a insecure person that felt he would break at any timeShe wanted to help hiood direction even if it was for only a bit Although it had been only little by little, she was able to see it really happening

In high-spirits, Popii headed to the changing room

——

Meanwhile, the battle unfolding in front of the te harshly

Swinging down their enchanted swords and spears, fla winds danced around However, none of the deure, Riku was at the front breaking through the soldiers, and behind her, Vrusto, Asty and other demons that were specialized in heavy assaults followed after her Riku didn´t care about the flames that looked they would roast her cheeks, nor the blood that was being scattered around

“Each and every single one of them… Is this really all they have?”

By si her halberd at hands, she chopped up the spiritualists as if she was dancing Eventually, as if the thought that she was too dangerous sprouted on theirback started to appear

“shi+t… This damnable red hair!”

However, it didn´t mean that all of them became like that

A spiritualist whose drea a sword that was of about the same size of Riku´s stature His speed was the sa any equips, the spiritualist, who closed in to her in only an instant, shouted

“This is the end!”

Ai his massive sword However, that strike ended in a miss At the place where Riku should have been until a few o, there wasn´t anyone With a half step, she hopped to the side and went around to the back of the spiritualist

“Eh?”

“Too late”

With a faint s down her halberd without hesitations The halberd, who divided the air it cut through, split the spiritualist into two halves while doing a sharp sound Easily like that, he was put to his end The spiritualists who had seen that, as to be expected, had their own thoughts about that The spiritualist at her surroundings had stopped their movement for an instant Riku wouldn´t let this slip by

“Look You´ve stopped ”

“Guaah!”
