190 Episode 199 sailing! To the Ritual Land! (1/2)

”Wonderful! Wonderful!

When I woke up, Yukino-chan told me that when she saw my face.

”It's Lex. This Yukinojo is impressed by the magnificence of your martial arts skills! Mm-hmm, sure enough, Mina won't be able to admire it. I deserve to be called Kensei!

”No, it's not that big a deal.”

No, Kensei is a big title, it's out of proportion to me.

Anyway, the swordsman of my previous life was a bullshit person who cut the mountain with a sword without using magic.

Besides, it's not a special magic sword, it's usually done with dozens of iron swords.

”Don't be modest. Your powers are extraordinary. Hayato also said that. Did you retreat the Magus who attacked us?

Yeah, well...

Even so, I think Mina-san can handle the magician's abilities.

At that time, there was a constraint to protect Prime Minister Yukino and the others, so it was just unfavourable.

”I heard that the legendary magician was used as if it were a child. I've seen a lot of masters in practice, but nothing compared to you. Well done! Thank you, Yukinojo!

”Hah, hah...”

Hmm, it's kind of irritating to be praised so far.

”Hey, isn't it strange how Yukinojo looks? Strangely honest.”

”Young people tend to judge things by their strength or weakness... in other words, they admitted that Lex was stronger than they were.”

Mina and Harumi are whispering behind me. [M]

”Even if the aristocrats think like that?

”I'm so sorry....”

◆

”I didn't know Magus was involved in this storm....”

After Yukino-chan had settled down, I decided to share the information with Mina. [M]

”Yes, the Magus who attacked the Yukinojo-san was equipped with magic items all over his body. And even with the work we did before, there was a huge disturbance caused by the enormous magic items created by the Magus. That's why I think the same Magus is using magic items to cause a storm this time.”

Yukinojo-san and Harumi looked surprised that the cause of the storm, which had spread throughout the country, was said to have been man-made.

”It is true that there was a legendary Magus. Then it would be more convincing to think that the storm was caused by the Magus than to say that the natural phenomenon happened by chance when the ship came out.”

”Hmm, that's right...”

They still seemed incredible, but they still believed me more than just being told there was a storm by chance.

”But you don't think the Magus is going to try to kill Yukinojo by causing a senseless storm or riding on a human disturbance.”

Mina joined in and urged Yukino and the others to explain the situation.

”So you suspect that the rest of the situation is connected to the purpose of the Magus?

”Rude! Civilians are going to stick their necks in martial arts situations!

Harumi raised his anger when he realized that we wanted to know about Yukino-chan.

Well, as aristocrats, I know I don't want to be exposed to my own circumstances.

But I can't say that in this situation.

Seems that Yukino-chan knows that, so she stopped Haru-sensei.

”Quiet, Harumi. Mina's concerns are natural. It will be important to reveal the plot of the Magus more than the fact that the Magus, who always thought of it as the existence of the Ninro legend, was real. Speaking of the Magus, in all the old stories we've heard, he was the enemy of indestructible heaven.”

”That's true, but....”

Haru-sensei is frightened when she is told that it is a problem for the whole world rather than a personal situation.

”Either way, you can't beat the mighty Magus and the head elder without Mina's help. We need allies for the rest.”

”... if that's what young people decide.”

Sei-chan, who knew that Yukino's intentions were firm, declined with reluctance.

Um, let's talk about the rest of what Mina and the others have been hiding so far.

Take a breath and Prime Minister Yukino starts talking.

”The remaining father's name is Yanglian Summer Edition. He's the general of this country.”

Was Chancellor Yukino's father the general of this country?

That? But I'm sure it's a general in this country....

”General!? Maybe!?”

I'm sure Mina gave the same answer.

I turned a surprise to Prime Minister Yukino.

”Hmm, you may have heard of it, but in this country, kings and priests called emperors are in charge of divinity, and our samurai, our subordinates, are in charge of politics. In other words, my father is the virtual supreme power in this country.”

Obtaining an answer from Chancellor Yukino, we understand the purpose of the Magus as we roll around. No, it's better to say you're convinced.

”The more it becomes, so....”

”If it involves the assault of a substantial leader in this country, that's enough reason to involve the Magus.”

I don't know exactly what to do, but I'm sure it's not a busy thing.

”That's right. If a magician once disturbed the world of men, it is no wonder that the aim was to destroy this country by teaming up with the elders in charge.”

I'm sure Yukino-chan feels the same way.

They stare at us with a serious look.

”Then I want you to help me. Yu raids the general and crushes the leader of the family. Then the country will regain calm, and so will the Magus.”

Yeah, stabilize the country. That's the most robust measure.

”Yes! We can't just sit back and watch innocent people suffer! We must stop the Magus' ambitions!

Yes. I don't know what the Magus is up to, but there's only one thing we can do.

Stopping the devil's plan.

”Hmm! That's what you said! Let's get rid of the ambitions of the Magus and the Elder together!

That said, Yukino-chan looked at Mina.

……

Mina said with a sigh of anticipation that she had no choice.

”Yes, yes, I will help you.”

With those words, Yukino-chan's face became full of delight.

”Oh! Again....”

But for the reward.

”... hmm”

However, Yukino-chan dropped his shoulders in a hurry.

”Well, that's the future course of action.”

By listening to Mr. Yukino's situation and setting up a cooperative system, we will decide on our future policy.

Um, first of all, the rest of the generals should be named first.

”You need to perform a ritual somewhere, right?

Upon confirmation from Mina, Prime Minister Yukino pointed to a huge mountain rising far away.

”Exactly. The destination is the ancient ruins of the mountain Amatsukami, the spiritual peak of our country. To do this, we first head to the priest's village at the foot of the spiritual peak.”

However, Mr. Yukino did not go directly to the ruins, but said that it was the village.

”A priest's village?

”You're not going directly to the ruins?

In Mina's doubt, Prime Minister Yukino shook his head.

”No, the rest of the general's assault rituals require the attendance of a priest. Anyway, even if we do the ritual, we need someone to prove it.”

Yeah, if you ask me.

If no one can prove it, you might not believe I did the ritual.

”The more you become, the more priests you are.”

Mina was satisfied when she heard Yukino-chan's words.

”What do you mean?

”The priests are the emperor's servants who govern the mythology of this country. They are distanced from our samurai.”

”So it's part of the work of the priests to witness a ritual assault as a third party without involving any particular faction.”

That's how it works.

Prime Minister Yukino then took a letter out of his pocket.

”And this is a letter prepared by my uncle to the lord of the clan who manages the land around the priests' village. This should help us with the rest of the general's assault ritual.”

However, Mina waited for such Yukino-chan.

”Hey, can you trust the lord? Other clan lords have always teamed up with their elders. Then it's possible that the clan lord will be our enemy, right?

Mina's concerns are legitimate.

I don't know how much I can trust the lord.

”Of course. That's why I hired you.”

Oh, you were thinking about that.

Mina shrugged her shoulders at the smile of Prime Minister Yukino.

Ahahah, you just gave me back my feelings.

”Nevertheless, the blood of the clan of priests is thick in the clan of clan lords holding the village of priests. Therefore, even if the generals and the leading elders come forward to fight, they will give priority to the emperor and the priests.”

So don't worry, Prime Minister Yukino assured me.

Well, if the emperor is on the emperor's side, it doesn't matter what happens to us.

”Nevertheless, the question is before that.”

I thought there was nothing to worry about now, and Harumi tells me that there is still another problem.

”Before?

Sure. I'm sure the head of the family knows what we're doing. Then you will be waiting with great force so that you can't enter the territory. Don't let that come from anywhere in the territory. ”

The more you do, the more soldiers you will have at your destination as well as chasing us from over there.

”Then you fly back into the clan? I have Lex this time, so I can carry him at once.”

”No, I don't think the same thing works. If they find out we're flying in the sky, they'll turn us into hares with arrows and magic. Besides, the enemy will sneak into the clan in secret.”

”But you can't go straight to the ground.”

Hmm.

I wonder what happened to everyone.

Can't the ground just enter the clan with great combat power?

then.....

”Oh, yeah.”

I remember something. [M]

Um, it's a corner, so why don't you adopt Mina's plan?

”My idea?

”Yeah, it's a plan to fly. But not to cross the gate, but to the priests' village at once.”

”But flying all the way over the sky is dangerous to find. If you get attacked, there won't be a single pile.”

Yukino-san and the others looked anxious when they heard that they would adopt a plan to fly in the sky.

”It's okay. I'll get on the boat.”

”A boat?

Yukino-chan and Haru-sen all leaned their heads.

◆

”The ship is this way.”

I will guide everyone to the port. [M]

Yes, we are on our way to take advantage of that pirate ship, which has been modified to fly.

That one is almost broken, and even if it's attacked from the ground, it's enough to keep it until it reaches the priest's village.

If I had prepared a magic defense technique just in case, it would have been a little more complicated.

”Is it true that the ship... flies through the sky?

Yukino-chan murmured confused when she heard that she was flying to her destination on a ship that had been converted into a pirate ship.

”Well, I know it's hard to believe, but believe me, it's what Lex does.”
