190 Episode 199 sailing! To the Ritual Land! (2/2)
Wow, if Mina says so.
Yukino-chan nodded reluctantly after receiving a heartbeat from her known opponent, Mina.
”Well, I was reluctant to use it at first, but if Yukinojo-san is the next general, there's no need to worry about breaking the ties, and if it's above the sky, it's easier to detect attacks than being attacked by shadows on the ground. It won't matter if we don't stop the attack that was fired at us.”
”Are you going to get attacked in advance!?”
Mr. Yukino doesn't seem to be accustomed to fighting like that, but it's easier to intercept them than to hide in the past.
”In the meantime, if a flying ship becomes a landmark, not only the enemy, Mr. Gyro... it will be more likely to join my people, so I can aim to increase my strength.”
”Isn't it more dangerous to be attacked by enemies than you'd expect to be more powerful!?”
We entered the harbor talking about that, but I felt uncomfortable with the sight.
……
”What's wrong?
Mr. Yukino didn't seem to have noticed, but Mina and Harumi watched my condition and watched my surroundings.
And just as the conjecture was right, the men who emitted a sword-eating atmosphere appeared to surround us.
”Heh heh, this is a dead end.”
Well, it's a dead end in the back.
After all, it seems that the men are obviously after us.
”Looks like a chaser.”
The men have already pulled out their weapons and are willing to kill without hiding them.
”Will you be quiet, boys?”
”You're a Ronin.”
And Harumi looked at the men and murmured.
Ronin?
”In the words of the lord and others, those who have fallen in pursuit of their position of nobility.”
”Former aristocracy? I don't feel like I have anything to do with it.”
Certainly. Somewhat sluggish.
”Our aristocracy is also a samurai. It's true that there's a lot of people out there who don't have anything because there's something that gives priority to strength over manipulation.”
”I'm sorry I don't have any items! Win now!
No, no, the men attacked me all at once.
When I parry the Ronin attack from the front, I immediately counterattack.
”Fu! Let me cum!
”Wow!”
But I'm confused when the Ronin attacks me lightly. [M]
”What? Not too strong?
Wasn't the chaser a good man!?
Speaking of which, Harumi also said that he was a fallen samurai, and he didn't really take martial arts seriously.
”Compared to Magus, ordinary people are such monsters. Stormburst!”
Mina attacks the Ronins individually with the magic of the wind attribute, so as not to damage the surrounding loads.
”” ”” Gwaaa!? ””
After all, it seems that the other Ronin didn't really train, so Mina-san's magic falls apart.
But among them were just a few Ronins with different movements.
”Hee!
The Ronin evade Mina's magic, slash her with a sword, and then burst into magic from inside without taking much damage.
”Ugh!?”
Apparently, some of the amateur Ronin were lurking behind hidden strengths.
Kh!
Mina immediately uses Physical Reinforcement Magic to evade Ronin attacks and casts the magic of restraint while falling back.
Wow!
Meanwhile, Yukinojo, who had bumped into a skilled Ronin, was kicked by the enemy and struck by the load behind him.
”Young!?”
”Yukinojo!?”
”I got it!
A Ronin jumps at Chancellor Yukino for a chance.
”I won't let you!
However, when I immediately entered between Yukinojo-san and the Ronin, I took the attack and intercepted it.
”Ha!? How long? Gwah!
Is that it?
Moreover, I feel uncomfortable with the lightness of the Ronin's attack.
Strange, when I saw you blow up Yukino-chan, I thought a heavier attack was coming.
”No, this is not the time. Let's cum!”
When I slay the Ronin's sword, I slam the handle of the sword into the dovetail and disable it.
We need to keep some of them as witnesses to the crime.
”Gubooa!?”
Looking around, other skilled people were also suppressed by Mina and Hayashi.
”Here, if I could beat this, I could have been an officer... Gacli”
Saying that, the last one falls.
”Apparently, he was being used as a bait.”
”Stupid. If you go to the general's house, there's no point in making an officer.”
Harumi shouted surprisingly to the Ronin who had attacked him without thinking about it.
”But what was it, these guys? Something strangely strong was mixed up.”
”If you ask me, yes. Even if they didn't question the quality, they were moving unusually differently.”
”If only I had such a strong crew, I should have used it earlier.”
Mina and Harumi also seem to be concerned about the tight strength of the Ronin.
And I noticed the reason. [M]
Looks like this is the cause.
I collect the Ronin's weapons and strange tools. [M]
”Is that... a magic item!?”
That's Mina-san, I think you soon realized who this is.
”Yes, it seems that all the Ronins who thought they were good were equipped with magic items.”
It's not like they were mixed up, they were using magic items to build up their strength.
”Ha-ha. I can't believe a Ronin is rich enough to have magic items.”
”Stupid! A Ronin has magic tools!? Impossible!?”
In contrast to Mina, who was interested, Harumi shouted surprisingly that it was impossible.
”What? Really? But if it was a family heirloom inherited by our ancestors, wouldn't it be strange to have it? You're a former aristocrat, though, aren't you?
”No, not all of the Ronin are former aristocrats. Some ministers served samurai. Above all, the battlefield is an opportunity for our samurai to show their strength. Had he had such a magical instrument, he would have shown his head in the old days. If it's something I've inherited from generation to generation, it'll be better.”
”Well, that's what the common sense in this country is.”
Apparently, in this country, our strength affects our emergence more than the continent we live in.
Over there, not only martial arts, but also the work of using wisdom like a civilian is important.
”Well, it's not a very good magic item. It doesn't look like a family heirloom because it's not of good quality.”
At best mass-produced... yeah, this is the worst.
”Apparently there was too much difference in quality, and even products with the same functionality had a big difference in performance.”
Perhaps everyone is equipped with this magic item.
But it seemed hard to realize that they were strengthening with magic items because there were so many objects that they could only exert too little magic.
Hmm, I wonder if this was meant to be?
”Perhaps only a Ronin who used a relatively good product among them seemed to be smart.”
”So there was a mix of broken magic items?
”Mmm, so the magic equipment was originally excavated from the ruins. Is it possible that they will grab the broken item?”
”No, it's a magic item, but it doesn't look like a regular magic item.”
”Isn't that normal? What's that supposed to mean?
”Look inside. This is not a magic ceremony for ordinary magic items.”
”... even if they say no... is that so?
”I have no idea.”
They're not magic item experts, so there's nothing you can do about it.
”It is not uncommon for magic formulas used for magic items to have their own standards or security so that the structure is not analyzed by the workshop.”
”That's right....”
”But this magic ceremony is fundamentally different.”
Yes, it is a pre-security issue such as standards.
”Um, may I conclude?
”This is not a human trick.”
”Isn't that a human trick?
”Yeah, and we've seen magic ceremonies like this before.”
”It's not a human trick. Is that... no way!?”
In my words, Mina remembers what she saw on that island, no, on that creature.
”Yes, this is a magical ceremony used by the Magus.”
Yes, it was a structure commonly found in magic items used by Magus.
”They gave me magic items from the Magus!?”
”Yes, maybe, but I think they let the Ronins have it to dispose of the bad magic items. Maybe he cheated on this magic item as part of his reward.”
Because there were a lot of scams in the past that made people think bad things were real and take jobs.
Most of those scams aren't all bad stuff, they mix some with real stuff.
Perhaps only the good Ronin were given good magic items, and the crooks caught the bad stuff.
”Hmm, a bad item for a magic item... but even if it's a magic item, can I call it a scam...?
”Well, I guess Magus was able to deceive humans and use them. It's no use thinking about them and Lex.”
”Is that what you're saying?
”That's what it is.”
Mina is comforted by Harumi's differing thoughts with the Magus, but why did she put my name in there?
Anyway, we've already defeated our pursuers. Shall we go to the ship?
Yeah, yeah.
Hmm.
……
”Is that it, Yukinojo?
Then we noticed that Yukino-chan had not joined the conversation earlier, and saw Yukino-chan.
What was there was Yukino-chan lying on the ground in a tight state.
”... Gofu”
”YukinoI!!”
”Yoo-hoo!
”Yukinojo, come on!
It was then that we finally realized that Yukinoji had lost consciousness.
