Vol 3 Chapter 144 (1/2)

Chapter 144

Side: Noa

――It’s bad

Eclair-sama’s plan for a surprise attack is already a failure

While saying that it’s, because the opponent came to attack before we could take action

As such there’s nothing left but totowards the worst attrition battle

The land’s favour is there for the opponent and, we’re a force that came from across a vast distance at a forced march

Our force’s deployue

What’s even worse is, Eclair-sama’s bodily condition is even less favourable than the person in question believes

「……」

Looking to ives support to the front line with ic has turned pale

Any er her life

While a situation like this was also hypothesized, I feel anger towardbut, the time for that has passed

Now even if we discard our lives, if we consider how to safely return Eclair-sah any means necessary……

「Everyone! If we lose Eclair-sama here, on’t be able to face Alice-ojousa that body as a shi+eld, becoic! Even if your limbs are lost bite the enele soldier near the headquarters! If at least Eclair-sama is safe, it’s fine with that!」

I spread uard by for a circular formation

『Affirmative!!』

◇■◇■◇

Side: Eclair-sama

――Not bad

I thought that, while looking at the Noa giving reprimands to the maid-sans

The general summary is, Eclair’s role is to buy time

TheSacrament is not an absolute condition

It’s enough, if we’re able to prevent Sacra toward the kingdom

Given that, this quagmire of a situation isn’t ideal and it isn’t the worst

……If I look at the overall situation, it beco

「……There is the problem that the value of h」

If Alice changes thehere, I assudom

It’s vexing but, I can’t even i

Probably, even now, nobody has realized the current Alice’s strength

Having fought that child who succeeded the strongest from Witch of Ice and Snow, Eclair alone sensed that with her body

It’s an a tale but, I assume even the person in question doesn’t understand her own true power that well

「I wonder if it was destiny, for Alice to have met Witch of Ice and Snow」

I was unintentionally pressing against ht eye

I blew a laugh from my nose

If it’s convenient it’s destiny, even if it’s bad it’s destiny

If there’s such a thing, even whether people live or die loses its

「――Fire, set! Go!」

Even a little support, for the allied soldiers fighting desperately

「Please stop, Eclair-sama! Consider your own bodily condition first! If you act overly rashly too often――」

「Will you bindme to Alice’s side? Seriously, you

all really do love Alice don’t you」

Looking at theed

Even so, I can grasp a heroic resolve deep within those pupils

「You all as well, don’t consider ridiculous things」

「I was thinking that there’s no reason for Eclair-sa time」

「If Eclair flees now, the entire battle line will collapse in moments you know? That isn’t the sort of conversation about whether to provide support, it’s a conversation about le support of the heart for, the soldiers laying their lives down on the front line?」

「……」

Noa hung her head down, as if she’d bitten down on a bitter bug

「It’s that I think there’s worth in laying a life down, on this battlefieldIt’s just that you seeA battlefield of the sort where the commander runs off, do you believe that exists?」

「Occasionally it’s a soldier’s duty to, become a discarded stone」

「Who would be convinced, of such a cold duty」

This discussion is over, I wavedshoo shoo

「――Because it was the 3rd unit, that couldn’t do that and foolishly allowed their commander to die! We, want to be allowed to not be bestowed that same dishonor!」

「――――!」

Such a conversation, I didn’t know until now at this moment

Even though I conversed with Alice yesterday, she didn’t say anything

No one, nothing

The 3rd unit’s, captain was……

「……It doesn’t feel real at all, she went on, that person……?」

「To say that she and the eneeneral took eachother out, it was a heroic end……」

Despite your cowardice as so……

「Don’t go out in front, you idiot dwarf……」

But, I understand her feelings

You also had things you wanted to protect right?

Things you didn’t want to be stolen in so like this sort of unreasonable war

「……Fun, there’s no way Eclair can let whatever it was that youyour life down, becoht」

「Eclair-sama!」

「――There’s no use in worrying!!」

I gave h to resound across the battlefield

「Eclair・Sacrament is here! She won’t fall until her end! She won’t take one step back either! Warriors, please be at ease and wager your lives! I will carry all of your feelings for you!」

The voice of a war cry rose from the chaotic battlefield

Frankly, I don’t think there exists charis princess or Alice in me

Even so, I want to bestow even a littleto the soldiers

It’s only that okay!

「Before searching for a pessiive the effort to cut the way forward open, Noa!」

The surprised Noa with her long thin eyes opened just a little wide, hung her head

「AffirressionsRoyal wife-sama」

「Who is this royal wife」

We laughed together a little and, turned back to the battlefield

Perhaps it was un to push back

「Master-sama, awesome……」

「That’s right that’s right」

I stroked the head of

of the Retty that haphazardly came over

I also stroked my stomach

We, can’t be dying in this sort of place okay

「Sorry Retty, I want you to display courage to the troops in Eclair’s stead」

The current Eclair would becoht on the front line

「I understand! Is it okay, if I do dragon transformation?」

「There’s no need to be excessive, because just you being there will become pressure on the opponent」

「Un, simple!」

I wonder if that’s true?

She’s forcing a smile out from deep inside those eyes filled with hopes unsuited to the battlefield

「There’s no need to push yourself to kill the opponent, it’s fine doing asour allies cover, can I request this?」

「Leave it to me!」

Retty’s body shi+nes blue

The ic power from her body disperses

I feel like vo but, I don’t show it on my face

If a bluff is followed through on it’s no different fro

「――――――tsutsu!!」

Enveloped in blue light, the Retty that transforon’s body raised a roar toward the battlefield

Retty’s dragon transformation is, of course conveyed to our allies

Since without doing that, even our side will fall into chaos won’t it

It’s uplifting to our forces but, it conveys unrest to the enemy force

With this, it’s fine if so comes of it but――

◇■◇■◇

Side: ???

The one coen

shi+gen’s wish for which he betrayed Ashi+taka kingdo

He just felt he wanted to obtain the woman he loved

That desire was just used by a witch

The seven desires have been so like the devil’s favourite dish, since ancient times

「If that woman comes back to life, how about it――?」

The devil’s whispers, caused shi+gen’s heart to loosen as if they were a sweet nectar

That wo that his heart jumped
