Chapter 140 (1/2)
Aleist was a reincarnator
He had been reborn into the world of a roe from when he played it
Yet Aleist had noan appearance It wasn't even that it existed in setting alone
Wearing siht to himself
(I didn't think they'd couy in a place like this)
The 'this guy' Aleist referred to was thetwo barbed swords before his eyes
The man who used two blades just as he did, Aleist knew him
(Gaia's assassination unit, was it? No, I believe they called them the special forces, but…)
Both sides swung about tords freely, contesting with their number of cards to play
Around the runts surrounded Aleist
(If you count the Celestia knight, we only have three)
While he had inherited an overwhelent with the enemy before his eyes
Of all else, the three-eyed ame
Leading the mechanized unit that headed Gaia's special forces, he was a character without a na in a number of combat events
His main characteristics had to be the special ained from his mechanization
”This is troublesome”
In a muddled voice, the three-eyed man who called Aleist troublesome leapt back to take a set distance
Seeing that, a shi+ver raced down Aleist's spine
He instantly used ic as he jumped back
(crap!)
As he protruded tens of black spears froround, a number of them immediately shattered
He crossed his swords to receive what impact remained of his enemy's attack
”You stopped it? You're the second one I've ever met who's been able to stop it the first time they saw that attack You can be proud of yourself… black knight”
Kukuku, or so the three-eyed hter
He turned up and lifted the back portion of his robe to show the sharp blade attached to the tip of the tail furnished on
A tail of coiled erous and destroyed it with his sword before it could retract
But his foe shoed some leisure
”This truly is a wonderful feeling For ht, I think I'll add you to my list”
”List? And what list would that be?”
Aleist asked out of curiosity but instantly found hi it
”The list of individuals I want to land the final blow on personally! Be proud I'll put you in at second place Ahahaha–”
Said he as he sprang up
The enerunts, as if to follow, raced their way up the wall
The black-robed group ran, they juht to see
”… He erous one”
While his face stiffened, Aleist was relieved the enemy had pulled back when a voice called from behind It was Nate
”Senpai, you've earned the affection of souy, even if he looks like that, he's the top of the Imperial mechanized division's applied theory unit”
”Is that it? That's who he was supposed to be?”
Even his title didn't appear in the game, and Aleist only saw him as a troublesome foe
And now he had been recognized as the person that individual wanted to kill second-most
(Then who's number one… and wait…)
At the end of his fleeting glance was the green haired er at Before what appeared to be a knight of Celestia, Aleist didn't knohat he was supposed to do
Nate kept wary as she spoke
”Now then, I'll have you explain yourself, Emilio-dono When you've already called out to Courtois, I never iined you'd invoke accursed Gaia as well”
Nate's voice was lower than usual, beco one to threaten the other party
In regards to the knight called Emilio, Aleist ary as well
But their foe showed no signs of resistance Forget resistance, he tossed his sword aside and sat on the spot
The alley floor is filthy… Aleist thought when Emilio opened his mouth
”I never thought it would go well It's just, if the possibility existed, I had no choice but to cling to it Otherwise, Cleo… my little sister would be…”
Covering his face with his right hand, Erit his teeth
”Little sister? By Cleo, you mean the princess of this country, don't you?”
Aleist tilted his head in wonder
Nate saw her opponent had no will to resist and tucked away her dagger She decided to hear out Emilio's circumstance
”Based on the situation, taking you out here is my role It seems you have some circumstances… so why don't you tell us about it?”
Eh
”Do what you will, is what I'd like to say, but I will be putting up a last-ditch effort”
Nate entered negotiations
”I said based on the situation If there's profit to be had on our side, I'ht just cooperate with you”
There, Emilio indifferently started into the present state of Celestia's underbelly
”If it's in o ahead and take it I' as Cleo is saved That's my mother's wish”
So Aleist got to learn the truth of Celestia
Having saved Cleo and returned to the palace, Rudel was su's room
In regards to this incident, the king proclai himself
There were n land, so Rudel paid it little mind as he spoke the plain truth
About the attack, about the combat with a unit from the Gaia Empire, and about Emilio's betrayal
But he decided to cover up Aleist's involvement
Hearing all that, the king's spoke without a change in expression
”So E”
A pro with the enehable matter
(Even so, he doesn't look at all panicked Is it because the princess is safe?)
Rudel felt so's attitude, but he decided to confirm his future plans
”Will there be any change to our mission?”
There, the king spoke without looking at Rudel
”None You are to depart to else Tell Cleo it will all go as planned”
This wasn't the attitude of a parent giving a final farewell
The one before hi
Rudel's position was not one to stick his n affairs
But…
”She was betrayed by those closes to her From what I've heard, Emilio had acco–”
”What a human set for death feels bears no relevance Is that all you wanted to say?”
Rudel glared at the king ouldn't hear his opinion
He wasn't scared But Rudel did feel within him, this was much too sad of an attitude from a father
(Is it really possible to be this cold to his child?)
Cleo sat on the bed of her own room
Absent out the , she recalled the words of her closest friend, the servant who deceived her
'What a dull wo shouldn't be a probleh over how you thought ofenough to watch, so I'll forgive you'
In the narroorld she lived in, the maid would teach her all about the world outside
It was always a fun time for Cleo The food at the stands, the events of the castle town, she was the reason Cleo longed for it so
”So I never had any friends…”
While she felt sad, Cleo turned it around
”It's better the fewer people there are to be saddened by my loss”
It was a little sad but even so, she had a duty to fulfill If she did that, then surely, the smiles of many people would be protected
Cleo convinced herself as her tears flowed
Rudel left guard detail to Izumi and Millia as he prepared himself for tomorrow
Calling Sakuya to the palace courtyard, he prepared to take Cleo to the destination point
