“Youpots?”
“Yep Bring theolems”
“No sweat” Guiche hid behind a table, waving his rose, which was his wand The petals fell slowly and feoleh arroere aimed at them
The steel arrowheads burrowed into soft copper, causing the statues to wobble Guiche laughed, as the statues finally reached the kitchen behind the counter, and picked up the frying pot
“Can you throw that at the entrance?” Kirche put on
“You’re putting on make up now, of all times?” Guiche said, a shocked look on his face, but still commanded his statue to throw the pot at the entrance as he was told
Kirche brandished her wand and stood up
“Because the play is about to begin, and if the female lead has no make up on”
She waved her wand at the oil, now sprinkled in the air
“wouldn’t that be e?”
Kirche’sfla a loud noise In an instant, a group of , retreated from the sudden fire
Kirche seductively sang a spell, waving her wand again The fla towards thetheantly flicked her hair before raising her wand Although all the arrows fleards her, Tabitha’s wind ic parried them all
“Dear unna us,” Kirche smiled and bowed in the rain of arrows, “please let raciously be your opponent!”
Sitting on her enoroleroup she just ordered to attack instantly ca surrounded with fire She turned to the hoodeda fuss just because of this level of fire hired hands just aren’t dependable”
“That’s enough anyway”
“But you can’t beat them like this!”
“It’s alright even if they can’t All they have to do is separate them”
“Even if you say so, I won’t let this go on I took so much humiliation because of them”
The hooded , and talking to Fouquet, “Alright, I’irl”
“Then what a to do?” Fouquet answered in shock
“Whatever you like Burn or cook the rest, whatever We’ll oleht wind, soft and chilling
“Geezwhat a laidback guy Can’t tellabout” Fouquet spoke silently in disgust
Moans ca winds ca the violent fla in the darkness felt the burn
Fouquet yelled below her, “Dah! You’re all useless! Get out of my way!”
The gole noise, andits fists over its head as it advanced
Kirche and Tabitha controlled the fla the roup of archers outside also fled fro their bows behind
“Ohhhhohohohoho! Oho! Ohohoho!” Kirche laughed victoriously “You see it? You get it now? The power of et burned, you better run home now! Ahahaha!”
“Alright,an unti eneaps of the flames for his “Valkyrie” spell
With a loud, thunderous noise, the entrance and beyond disappeared
“Eh?”
A huge gole dust, and easily kicked away Guiche’s statues
“Oh, I forgot That toughout her tongue
“Don’t be too arrogant, kids! I’ll finish you off!” Fouquet yelled in anger, standing on her golem’s shoulder
“What do we do now?” Kirche turned to Tabitha’s direction Her friend laid out both hands and shook her head
Guiche took one look at the enor, “Everyone! Attack! I say, ATTACK! Now is the time for them to see the spirit of all Tristainian nobility! Watch me, father! Guiche will become a man!”
Tabitha tripped hiround
“What are you doing?! Let hness, let my rose wither here!”
“Alright, we got to go”
“No! I will not run!”
“you know, you’re exactly the type that would die in any battle first”
Tabitha looked at the approaching golem, and suddenly seemed to reach an idea She then pulled on Guiche’s sleeve
“What?”
“Rose” Tabitha pointed at Guiche’s fake rose,motion in the process “A lot Of petals”
“What do you ith those petals?!” Guiche yelled, only to have his ear pulled by Kirche
“Just do what Tabitha says!”
Guiche waved his rose wand in annoyance, sending large a a spell Under her wind’s direction, the petals stuck onto the golem
“And what does sticking petals all over the golem do?! Sure it’s pretty!” Guiche yelled back
Tabitha concisely ordered Guiche “Alchemy”
On the gole her creation stuck all over with petals, annoyingly co up even if you decorate olem with petals!”
The golem raised a fist, and smashed the table that shi+elded Kirche, Tabitha, and Guiche in one blow
At that led petals all turned into liquid The smell of oil crept up to her As a master of the “earth” element, Fouquet instantly realized the reason A spell known as “Alchemy”
They just used “Alcheolem into oil
She was too late to realize that so towards her golem
In an instant, the huge golem was covered in fire Unable to withstand the heat and flaolem fell on its knees
Seeing their e position, the mercenaries fled like spiders Kirche, Tabitha, and Guiche held their hands in joy
“We did it! We won!”
“I I ith alchemy! Father! Your Majesty! Guiche has triumphed!”
“That’s all because of Tabitha’s plan!” Kirche poked on Guiche’s head
A hideous Fouquet stood up in front of her burned golem “H how dare you beat ic” She looked pitiful With her long, beautiful hair burned away, her robes singed with holes everywhere, and her face charred a dark black, the beauty had left her
“Aha, that’s some nice make up you have on You know, lady, this heavy make up kinda suits you! I mean you’re pretty old already!” As Kirche finished, she waved her wand at Fouquet However, she seey with all the spells she used in battle Suddenly, a small, weak flame flew out, and disappeared in an instant
“Eh? That’s it?” Kirche scratched her head
Tabitha and Guiche seemed to have the same effect But not Fouquet She didn’t try any spells, and siht at them
“Call htened her fists, and punched at Kirche, who retaliated ht completely unlike themselves
Tabitha sat down, and, with absolutely no interest in the fight in front of her, started reading
Guiche watched the two beautiful wo, a mild blush on his face He see a total mess
Watching fro on the match
As Kirche and Fouquet beat up each other, Saito and company ran towards the harbor, their road illuhtstairs, and began walking up them
“Aren’t we heading towards so a hill?” Asked Saito Wardes did not answer
After cliht of stairs, they arrived on top of a sasped
It was a huge tree, branching out in every direction It had the size of a ht covered its top, but it had considerable height Saito looked at the tree as if it were Tokyo Tower
And then taking a closer look between the branches, the tree seee fruit? He rong It was a shi+p It looked like a zeppelin, stuck between the trees
“This is the ‘harbor’? And that’s the ‘shi+p’?” Saito asked in shock
Louise replied in surprise “Yeah isn’t your world like that?”
“Harbors and shi+ps all stay on water in my world”
“If there are shi+ps that sail on water, there are shi+ps that sail in the air” Louise said matter-of-factly
Wardes ran to the tree’s roots, which were as big and spacious as a skyscraper’s lobby They probably dug the middle out of a dead tree to make this
It was night, so they couldn’t see anyone Between each flight of stairs wereof soht
Wardes began cli the stairs in front of him
One flight of wooden stairs was connected to another There were scaffolding and supports on theerous One could see La Rochelle’s lights in the spaces between each flight of stairs
In a rest stop midway, Saito heard footsteps behind the over him and landed behind Louise
It was the white-olem
Saito pulled out his sword and cried, “LOUISE!”
Louise turned around The man picked her up the next instant
“Ahhhh-----!” Louise screamed Saito raised his sword But if I just slash it like that, I’ll hit Louise The man carried Louise and ju wherever he wished
Saito stood still Beside him, Wardes waved his staff The o, was bloay, hit by Wardes’ air hao He held on to a support, but Louise fell towards the ground
In an instant, Wardes jurebe He caught up with her and floated in the air while carrying her
The masked man bent around, jumped on the platform, and faced Saito His build was not too different from Wardes’ He pulled out a staff from his waist It was a black staff
Afterhis battle against Wardes Swinging the sword around is outright dangerous, but he couldn’t foresee what ainst him
Theair irritated Saito’s skin What is he doing?
He continued to chant a spell Saito raised his sword, but Derflinger yelled, “Get on guard, partner!”
As Saito got on guard, the air shook There was a crack Lightning emanated from the man and hit Saito directly
“‘Lightning Cloud’!” Derflinger cried, recognising the spell A strong current went through Saito’s body and he fell from the platform
“Gaaaahhh---!” Saito cried in pain His left wrist felt like it was scorched and burned as if he had touched a red-hot branding iron The current left a trail, burning his clothes He fainted froht
Wardes, holding Louise, chanted the “Fly” spell, safely landing Saito on the ground
“SAITO!” Louise cried, watching her familiar fall Wardes bit his lip, turned to the masked man, and waved his staff It was the air hammer The air around hi the round
Louise struggled out of Wardes' grip and ran to Saito A gash from the current continued to burn Saito’s left hand, where he held his sword, froht up to his elbow She frantically put her ear at his chest His heart was beating, and she breathed a sigh of relief He took a very heavy current, but see in pain
Saito opened his eyes, and painfully stood up “W-what that guy but, it hurts gah!”
Derflinger spoke in concern, “That was ‘Lightning Cloud’ Very strong wind uy looks like an expert to me”
“Ah! Ugh!” Saito’s face twisted in pain
Wardes looked to Saito’s condition “But he was lucky to survive with just his wrist injured This spell usually kills Hmm looks like your sword neutralized some of the current, but I’m not sure why Isn’t the sword made of metal?”
“No idea I forgot” Derflinger replied
“An intelligent sword, huh Rare stuff”
Saito bit his lip hard His injured wrist hurt, but the fact that he could do nothing to save Louise hurt more Plus, he let Wardes steal the whole show He couldn’t let Louise look at hier
“Let's go I-it doesn’t matter now”
