Chapter 9 (1/2)

William was alone, a little off the night ground.

If you look at it, you can see your army intoxicated with field victory. But in the face of William, I could not afford the joy of winning or the wine of victory.

(I … how did you win?)

On the contrary, it looks pale. I’m even pale.

(My memory is flying. In my memory … I was inferior. No, I can say that I lost.)

It reminds me of a battle with the Hundred Captain Daian. I was not convinced that I could win, but it was a battle I received that I thought it would be a good bet. The result is victory, but there is no memory.

(The story I heard from Carl told you that you won by force, but … could that be?)

Whatever the technology, there should be an overwhelming difference in power.

(I know that I am not good at all in the first place. Did you train like me? Did you have that knowledge? To that man?)

I think that can not be. Confidence will shake if it thinks. Seven kingdoms where information gathers, one of them who worked in an import bookstore scrutinizes necessary information from a large number of books, and I do not want to think that I have been practicing for five years as inferior. There is almost no difference in physique.

(Even if you ate in Laconia, you should eat nourished rice and be careful of the nutrition. Your body should be refined in the same physical constitution. Even if it is a little inferior, there can not be so much difference)

It was blown off. I was beaten. By perfection-

(Kair felt chilly, similar to it … “that” is the key?)

An occult that is usually ridiculous. For William who has raised itself rationally, the mysterious wall that has been encountered for the first time. However, when you actually hit it, you can not do without knowing your own sense as long as you are defeated.

(Not in the book, only in the actual battle. Kyle and the man that he has … I have to get it. As soon as possible.)

There is no clue. I do not know how to check what is not in the book.

(Well, let’s ask Kyle. Can you tell me, how about that?)

A little smile comes to mind when thinking about Kyle that is not sweet with regard to the sword. After all, only the two of them are the place for “self” to return. It does not change. Until that time of death, surely-

(Even if you leave it, it is not good to remember. It is not very good.)

There is a rare feeling that you will lose yourself. Memory flies when it gets high. Just a little, a couple of times in a short time. During the rehearsal with Kyle, and when emotions come true. I didn’t care so much because it was so short. He said that Kyle should not bother.

(But there is nothing like this to keep ignoring)

Rather, when he thought of himself, William was unable to hide his surprise that he did not take action.

(What will I do, I am the guy)

I can not understand myself. I had been alive with great care, and I missed this big hole. In a sense, it was giving a much bigger shock to William than defeat.

“……”

Suddenly, William looked at the small bulge of his chest. Take it out.

It’s bloody, it’s red and it’s scorching. Ruby is the scorching sun that floats in the sky if the diamond is a star star. The heat is reminiscent of human blood.

“This suits me, hey”

Ruby said that Rutgarde was persistent. I wasn’t thinking so deeply, but I’m getting a bit interested in why it’s Ruby.

(I think it would be easy if you felt the heat in that kind of fun three-man play)

But to that extent will Ruby be handed over so expensive? It is strange that I prepared silver work in the first place in the first place, but is it really possible to prepare only such gems in such a short period? How much life is it? I think that preparation is just in advance, etc. and kicking out that it is impossible.

It was coincidental that Carl and I met. It is also odd to have visited that house. William thinks selfishly that he thinks too much about himself.

“… I have a favor? No, no matter how much contact there is”

No matter how much thought William has, he has never met a woman like Rutgard before. Even when I was called Al, such memories are everywhere-

“Well, I do not care”

Killing everything, William put the jewels he had received for the inside of his clothes. It is a secret such as Rutgarde. Now, the priority is extremely low compared to the problem that piles up in front of you. In any case, it doesn’t matter if there is a Rutgard for William.

“Flying memories, unreasonable powers, these two problems at the moment”

You should not devote thinking resources to Rutgard’s intentions. William makes such a decision, overseeing the priorities.

“Well, what do you do?”

A field victory pushed the Arcadian army to Laconia. The Ostberg army’s morale is never high, it has crossed several battles and is brought to Laconia. The battle over Laconia was dominated by Arcadia.

“It does not move, the war situation”

A word that curls spilled over. William next to him also silently heard.

“… It’s a siege battle. It’s not easy.”

The muttered words of William, the siege war.

Laconia’s fort is not so strong, but it still has the necessary functionality. A stone wall goes round and round the outer edge, the gate is wooden but thick and can not be broken easily.

As a capture method, shoot a bow from a distance, put a ladder in the gap and proceed to the outer wall of the fence. It is as the basics of the siege battle, but it can not be done easily because only basics can be used. It is generally said that a triple attack is required to attack the castle, but this situation was “it”.

“Similar to before, the one who moves now is not good. … not very smart.”

“B … what?”

Curl who listens as it does.

“Don’t worry, oh yeah, Reiko is starting to pop up! Ichiban is honor and is treated accordingly. Those who are moving ahead are aiming.”

Screamingly speaking, William rushed ahead and pointed at those who handed the lion.

“But, talking about being good at this world is something that is hard to come by.”

The forceps pointed at you were removed by the Ottobergman on the outer wall of the fort. “Ah,” curl up. William had a cold look at the falling allies.

“I am addicted to the competition rate, and the risk is high. The current situation that we are inclined to win, it is not a phase where we, who have been doing well for a while, do not overdo it.”

Therefore, they both deliberately delayed their walk, including the ten members who belonged to them. That voice has won well during this war. The noble son (Karl), who has already become a public fact, and the power of his sword (William).

(Yes, don’t overdo it. I took the head of the Hundred Commander. No overruns are necessary.)

As you tell him, William confirms. From that point on, I think that the answer, I will not overdo this during this war. You don’t have to commit the risk of being a Hundred Captain. With regard to Carl, I already grabbed a promotion ticket to the commander of the Toju Corps.

(Even if you take the head of another Hundred Commander, there is no promotion of stair skipping)

Then there is no need to move. However–

Somewhere in my heart roars. The unnoticeable, unperceivable part of William himself is aching.

(I’m stupid? I’m stupid. I’m calm. More planned than anyone, and able to carry things colder than anyone else. It must be so. This is good!)

The heart of the chest-

“Our name is Ostberg’s Great General, Stracless! The children of Arcadia, if you want my head, come and climb! Ghahahaha”

The sights of William’s, Karl’s, and all battlefields gathered at one point. It is no different from such a vast battlefield, a waste of people. Among them, only the man was clearly different from the others.

“… Carl, what is that?”

William looked up at “It”.

“You’ve introduced yourself now. More than that, the general was Stracless! Wow, I’m new to you.”

William was fighting out of Nohtol’s curl elsewhere. I was overwhelmed by the brilliance of the great man named Stracles, who should have been far away, in front of my eyes, and what I call it the aura that comes along. William, who intended to be second to none, for the first time bowed from the bottom of his heart. I succumbed.

(I am … what?)

A monster that stands far, high and out of reach. The strength is probably higher than Kyle, and the other is higher than ever seen. The digit of the comprehensive power as a person is different.
