Episode 89: Makina's Readiness

"Four Homicides," he said?

Newspaper conveyed abruptly.

The first thing that jumped out of Mr. Makina's mouth was a half-hearted voice.

"It's not like they're joking badly."

Mr. Shanatris with a rugged face wrinkles between his eyebrows.

As far as the state of the instructors who jumped in with their blood ministers is concerned, there is no way they are joking.

The look tells the story of the urgency of the matter.

Four vicious disasters.

Exactly the only quadruple that has just come up on the subject.

I thought it was a good time to stop by because I had already made a rumor.

Mr. Makina's hand reaches for his mouth.

"I wasn't thinking about the possibilities at all... but more importantly, how could I be at a time like this"

Confusing Mr. Makina.

"What's the situation?

Mr. Shanatris confirms with the instructor.

"Ha, ha."

The instructor answered, as it had been played.

"The eight swords of the Knights of the Holy Tree, led by Lord Vanstos Troia, and about three hundred saints headed to the North Gate. I thought you were currently engaged..."

"Surely Sochute Sigmusos and his deputy are vacating the King's Capital now?

I'll get confirmation from Mr. Makina, Mr. Shanatris.

But I haven't heard back.

"Makina?"

Mr. Shanatris calls back, but he still doesn't respond.

"Makina!"

Mr. Shanatris called his name to drink.

Then it felt like he had finally returned it to me, and Mr. Makina, who was stiff, would become

"Yeah, yeah... sorry"

"There is no Sogt Sigmsos and no deputy chief. In addition, the Knights' elite also headed for the recapture of the fort. Am I right?

"... you're right."

"Without them, what might be the strength to fight the Four Homicides in this King's Capital at the moment?

Mr. Makina glanced at me.

After a little while,

"If you dare mention it, it must still be the Knights of the Holy Tree. Other than that, I immediately come up with the King's Kingsguard, my father, Wagnus Renowsphere, and the King's swordsmanship guide, Guiden Arklite, and so on."

"Except for the Knights of the Holy Tree, I suppose it's a priority to protect the Holy King."

"I don't have a choice. That's what they do."

Mr. Shanatris tongues abominably.

"If this is the case, you should have brought Rose. He may only be able to take a break if he's the other person."

"Um, schoolmaster...... what are we going to do now?

The instructor asks a question so that he can get over it.

Once Mr. Makina meditated her eyes strongly before opening them, she retightened her expression again.

"You instructors guide the students in the school to the West Gate. Go straight into the Duke of Sigmusos and have him protected."

Mr. Shanatris pinches his mouth.

"Hmm? Weren't there evacuation districts and doings at the foot of the Holy Tree?

"The Holy Tree and School are in the opposite position in the King's Capital, east and west. When it comes to breaking through the middle of the king's capital, it's more dangerous. If you have no prospect of winning, it's safer to flee the capital."

Heading north of Louvel Argan, the Holy Tree is located to the east in the King's Capital and the school to the west.

Given the danger of bowling with the Four Violent Disasters along the way, is it certainly better to leave Wang Du straight out of the West Gate?

At this time, I was thinking.

I was wondering if Mr. Currier and Mr. Cecily would escape safely.

Mr. Currier took a carriage with Mr. Ira to the castle today.

View the clock.

It's not strange to be already near the castle in time.

Or already in the castle?

It would be hard to say that there is no chance that the Four Violent Disasters will go to the Castle.

But as far as Mr. Makina's earlier words are concerned, the castle seems to have all the powerful men, including her father.

Above all, Mr. Currier himself, a man of strength no less than a warrior of hundred wars and abrasions.

Again, she would be able to make an accurate decision even in the vortex of these things.

In that regard, I can also say that Mr. Ira was rather fortunate to be with her.

This also made Mr. Ira much safer.

Even if you think the danger is… low, does it look good?

Meanwhile, Mr. Cecily...... today, I hear he's dining in the city with his grandfather, who is certainly also the swordsmanship guide of the Holy King.

Guiden Arkleit says that if it's just the arm of a pure sword, then that Sochute captain is no match either.

Earlier, Mr. Makina was named as a force candidate who could also be countered from his mouth.

I don't have the impression that Mr. Cecily hastily hesitates in these circumstances either, and if he's with such an amazing person, he should be able to evacuate successfully.

Given the usual, I think Sieg and Mr. Hilgis are probably with us...

The upper classmates Ray and Beoza are sleepovers and are not in Wang Capital right now.

Mr. Mia, and Mr. Leeza and Mr. Clarice, should leave King's Capital with the students.

…………

It's all right.

I'm sure it's okay.

Nor would the Four Felonies have come after Mr. Currier or Mr. Cecily at pinpoint in the first place.

Instead, if there's a reason to be targeted...

I see Mr. Makina.

I'm trying to extinguish the Four Felonies from this continent, she'll be the one.

It's just... maybe I don't have so much to worry about.

He said the Knights of the Holy Tree, led by Mr. Vanstos, were on their way to the Four Ferocities.

Vanstos Troia.

He was an oligarchy man, but he had an unspeakable taste from him.

Besides, Mr. Dearless also said something like the Knights of the Holy Trees are much stronger today than they used to be.

So even without the Sochutes, or now the Knights of the Holy Tree......

…………

It's just...

It was also true that there was a strange heartbeat earlier.

That's right.

It's never zero.

There is also a chance that Mr. Currier or Mr. Cecily will encounter the Four Homicides.

There is also a chance that the Knights of the Holy Tree will defeat the Four Violent Disasters.

You can't break a zero.

So the truth is, I want to go find them right now.

But I see Mr. Makina flying instructions to the instructor.

Let Mr. Makina go out of school here, okay?

"Wow, I get it. As instructed in the hurry, we will begin evacuation guidance."

"Please."

"Um... what about the school director?

Mr. Makina lays down her gaze.

"I - will remain in the school until the evacuation of all students and school officials is completed, during which time I turn to the aid of evacuation"

"School, Chief..."

"Come on, go. It is by no means unlikely that the Four Felonies will come here defeating the Knights of the Holy Tree. It's too late. It's too late."

Mr. Makina urges me and the instructor jumps out of the room.

I asked Mr. Makina as I heard the instructor's running footsteps turn away.

"To the end, are you going to stay?"

In response to my question, Mr. Makina responded with a smile.

"I'm the dean of the school, right? There's no way that a schoolmaster in a position to keep a student's life would leave those students behind and run away first, is there?

Makina's expression turns into a grin.

"Though it's still a troublesome job"

"No, Makina."

"What?"

"Do you think there's a reason why the Four Homicides chose the King's Capital this time?

Mr. Shanatris asks.

It was kind of an inclusive way of putting it.

"Like you say, they're even suspicious people as to whether they have a reason per se. Just..."

Mr. Makina stares into the void.

"Maybe it came from somewhere about me."

"I mean... there's information that you're trying to end the Four Felonies?

Mr. Makina, who is a solemn face and who silently consents.

"Is that why you feel responsible? You think you've attracted the Four Homicides?

Mr. Makina did not answer Mr. Shanatris's question and moved silently to the front of the door.

"You evacuate."

She touched the handle and continued.

"Crohiko... about Mia, please"

What, that.

It's like going to die.

"Are you going to fight alone, with the Four Homicides"

When asked the question, Mr. Makina gave him a peek at the side.

My mouth is slightly broken.

"Oh? There's nothing to wonder, is there? I'm just trying to do the same thing as my sister... and my sister protected the Knights of the Holy Tree by wounding the Four Felonies in" Mistrutine ""

Mr. Makina grips the handle in hard.

"Then if I do the same thing, the students - you're the only ones who might miss it"

A determined voice.

I mean, here's what she's saying.

He said he was going to burn out his life just like his sister and keep releasing 'Mistoltin', too.

…………

Mouthlessness spreads to my chest.

How did Mr. Makina...

"Are you going to die, Makina"

Mr. Shanatris throwing the inquiry.

"I'm going to be able to analyze the minimum power of the Four Felonies… Shanna, just like you."

It was the first time today that Mr. Machina called Mr. Shanatris, Shanna.

"To be honest, I think it's a delicate place for those who just mentioned it as a force to be able to defeat the Four Violent Disasters... If I can defeat those four, I really want at least four people the size of Sochute Sigmsos right now."

Mr Shanatris does not contest.

Does that mean that her analysis is almost identical to that of Mr. Makina's?

"Though the strength of the Knights of the Holy Tree and my sister at the time, plus the extent of the wounds my sister 'Mistrutine' inflicted on the Four Felonies, and speculations derived from other information from the past... I can only see that the power of the Four Felonies is unusual"

"In other words, with the power now in the king's capital -"

"Regrettably, you have a pretty low chance of winning,"

Mr. Makina smiles sarcastically.

"Nevertheless, I don't know if my force analysis is necessarily firing a target, and there must be a decay due to age even for the Four Felonies. Besides, I'm not familiar with the Knights of the Holy Tree now in every corner... and I'm hoping for that Van Stos Troia and the Knights of the Day. Though there is hope."

Mr. Makina's voice, who speaks that way, has no power.

I think it's tough on the inside, but it conveys the obvious.

"Um, mr. Makina"

I wonder what it is.

"How so?"

"Why? What?

I questioned what I had just wondered.

"You didn't count me as a force earlier, did you?

Mr. Makina looks at me with his chin up.

'Cause I think it's too soon.

"Fast?"

"You only remember two curses yet. I've been shown the power of the curse that you remember now. Though it is certainly a powerful curse...... anxiety lingers when asked if we can defeat the Four Weapon Disaster. Especially when it comes to one versus more than one, it's going to be tough with the curse in hand right now. After all, we need to align the powerful people you can assist."

…………

"That's what I'm talking about."

When Mr. Makina changed her body orientation, she was relative to Mr. Shanatris.

"If anything happens to me, may I leave the latter to you?

"I didn't know I'd leave it to you... I mean, you mean the Four Felonies?

Mr. Makina's deep red eyes capture me.

"Including about Crohiko"

"... you're such a nasty bitch."

"What, suddenly?"

"If you say that after risking your life... can you keep Sagara Krohiko and do bad things"

Heh heh, and Mr. Machina with a smile.

"Don't betray my trust, Shanna?

"Hmm... but what do you say?

Mr. Shanatris shows me with his thumb.

"Whatever it is, it doesn't look like the person at heart is convinced, does it?

Mr. Makina turns to me again.

"Crohiko...... will you shut up here and do me a favor?

…………

"If you are beneficial to me... here, I want you to do what I say"

Mr. Makina bowed her head deeply.

"Please, you're right."

I don 't--

"Excuse me, Mr. Makina... I can't ask for that favor"

I refused her favor.

but unexpectedly,

"Oh, right."

What Mr. Makina brought to mind was a convincing grin.

It's like you were predicting my answer.

Her reaction confused me.

"It's not you who can get away with letting go of Currier who went to the castle or Cecily who's not in school, is it? I know. It's just too harsh to stop looking for them."

Oh...... I see.

Is that what the reaction was like earlier?

"Makina."

"It's okay."

Mr. Makina shakes his head.

"I don't even have the authority to stop it. I'm not going to push myself through that much. Just... run away from this king's capital if you can get along well with them. Survive with them. And if you can..."

Mr. Machina's mouth was shaped only by laughter, but that look seemed desperate for something.

"One day, defeat the Four Felonies"

I slammed my knee in silence.

Align the height of your gaze with hers.

"It's not, Mr. Machina"

"No? No, what..."

Look straight into Mr. Makina's eyes.

She was strangely round her eyes.

"It doesn't make sense."

"Doesn't make sense?

"Yeah. It doesn't mean anything to me. If you survive in a world where Mr. Makina is gone."

"Crohiko?"

"Me, things have changed since I got here. Well, maybe the root part hasn't changed... but I think it's changed a lot compared to when I was over there."

Mr. Makina is waiting for my next word in silence.

When I looked closely, her cheeks were slightly stained with cherry blossom.

"So, I thought about it. What difference does it make over there? The answer was simple."

I say without going out of sight.

"Someone who seems to be dear to me, I could."

I thought in a corner of my head that I would have strayed before.

"There are people who don't want to lose it."

To tell you the truth, there's also the smell of lightning and the heart is buggy.

But I thought I had to tell you here.

My honest feelings.

"This is how I can hang in there because there are people that I think are important. I'm sure Machina and the others are here... but I don't think humans want to hang in there too hard."

…………

"Of course I was going to go find Mr. Currier and Mr. Cecily. But... I can't leave you here. All the more so if you find out you're going to die."

When Ms. Makina strayed from her gaze, she put her strength strongly into her arms holding that thin, small body.

"Crohiko, I'm glad to hear your feelings, but..."

"If you won't run away with me, I'll have to do this now"

Mr. Makina turns up.

"If you're going to stay, I'm going to have to stay with you and fight the Four Crimes. I'm sorry, but there's no other option."

"But it's..."

"I am not an Almighty God. That's not why we can protect all humans. But at least I just want to protect people who are within my reach. I think it's important, just people."

"I think it matters, people..."

"And Mr. Makina, you said it. I like this country."

"... Yep"

"If I run away, if Wang Du is left unscrupulous by the Four Homicides... isn't that too late already?

I could tell from the look on his face that Mr. Makina was beginning to get lost.

"What Makina wants to protect, at the same time, will be what I want to protect."

That's right.

I'm a convenient tool for her.

If Mr. Makina wants to do that, I'll just do my best to make it happen.

risking her life. But just fulfilling her wishes.

But... if Mr. Makina dies, I'm sure I'll lose the point of risking my life.

I laugh.

"I mean, I'm a bad guy without Mr. Makina."

"Krohiko......"

Mr. Shanatris flaunted his shoulder.

"This ain't no loser, Machina."

and breathed.

"Shana......?

"In short, does this man fall in love with you?

Mr. Makina looks at me sideways as I dye my cheeks.

"Betta love..."

"I don't want a woman in love to die. Isn't that quite the story that makes you cry? If you're going to die, you're going to die with me."

"Shanna, do something very appropriate-"

"This man, his eyes have already spoken. Probably won't even move anymore."

I lifted my arms and made him laugh.

"I thought, anyway, that the Four Wesen were the ones who had to be knocked down one day to do it with Hibigami. Just fine. If we can fight here, we can save ourselves the trouble of finding it."

Mr. Makina hands on his forehead with a distracted face.

"That's easy for you to say."

Then she's been staring at me sideways for a while.

"But yeah... this way, the time spent convincing me is going to be wasted"

Ha, and a sigh of sigh, Mr. Makina.

"I get it. I understand now."

"Mr. Machina."

I put my hand on Mr. Makina's twisted hips so he could re-divide them.

"Once the evacuation of the students of the school is complete without the Four Homicides coming, let's try to rendezvous with Currier and Cecily while me and the two of you go for the evacuation district"

Because of his determination, Mr. Makina spins his words without precipitation.

"If, in doing so, you encounter a Four Violent Disaster, if you have two or more opponents, the battle is in the direction of avoiding it as much as possible. If you want to fight, you should go after where you left off. Four Felonies doesn't always mean four of them together... well, we need to find out if the curse is effective first."

Good.

Now at least it doesn't seem like Mr. Makina is in a hurry to die.

"Well, it's time for us to..."

"May I, Master Makina"

There was a knock and Mia's voice continued.

"Mia? Haven't you evacuated yet?

"The Knights of the Holy Tree are coming. Just in a hurry."

Mr. Makina opened the door herself.

"Quick, please"

At the end of the open door.

A man in the Knights of the Holy Trees uniform stood with a strong expression.

Behind that diagonal, Mr. Mia refrains from being slight.

Just from the look on her face, she also seemed desperate to push her fear to death.

"As I'm sure you already know, the Knights' Saint Trees, currently led by Vanstos Troia, are engaged with the Four Homicides near the North Gate. So... I would like to help Lord Sagara Krohiko, the curse man."

A Knights man flies his gaze at me.

Mr. Makina gave his hand to the jaw in his mind.

"Is that... Van Stoth's proposal?

Knights affirm.

Mr. Makina turned to me once.

"That legend, give Currier Verstein the same thing?

"Yes."

"You heard me, Crohiko."

I nodded.

"If you head to the North Gate, you'll likely be able to rendezvous with Currier"

"Mr. Makina, I..."

"Do what you want, Crohiko"

On a strong note, Mr. Machina said.

"I'm not going to move here until the evacuation of the students is over, but I'm not going to stop you if you want to make your way there right away. In fact, I don't even know what's right... but I don't want you to just regret it"

I leaned down a little and looked up.

The answer seems to have been given with an expression.

"You're going?

"If Mr. Currier is coming to the North Gate, there she and I will fight the Four Violent Disasters... and we will defeat him"

"Okay."

"Mr. Makina."

"Oh, it's okay. Because I don't think about it anymore in exchange for my own life."

Mr. Makina smiles jokingly.

"Because if I die... the meaning of your life, it's gone, isn't it?

Then Mr. Makina shook his head loosely.

"If my death was caused by suicide, it would be without an ex-child."

Mr. Shanatris holds the bag.

"Apparently, we've decided on guidelines."

Shanna, you need to get out of here.

"No, I'll stay with you."

"But you're Louvel Argan's -"

Mr. Shanatris put his hand on the left eye band.

"You want a little power now, don't you? Well, honestly, I don't really like this peaceful country... Makina, I just like your stuff. That's what a curse master looks like. I'm not willing to protect the people in this country... but you're still a rare woman to die here."

Pan, and Mr. Shanatris slapped my glutes.

"Become... what are you doing!?

"Then I'll leave the Machina thing to you, curseless. Until I die, I'll protect you."

On Mr. Makina's shoulder, Mr. Shanatris put his arm on from behind.

"Bye. Assuming that the reason why the Four Homicides struck is as you said earlier, you will be responsible for it. If I were you, I wouldn't leave you and run away. Joint responsibility."

"Shana, you......"

"It's just the troublemakers. When I said I should write off the Four Homicides... what made me truly understand the dangers. Most importantly... if I let you die here, I won't be able to face that idiot."

"That's..."

"Well, you're a true idiot with all your sisters. You cut yourself too much for others, and we try to carry everything ourselves, even the loads that occur in the secondary... Damn, if we're going to spoil it, we should spoil ourselves more, not the peace-breaking idiots. Really, leave me alone, you idiots."

Oodles - I mean, I guess that's about Makina and her sister, Chris.

Well... did your sister also endanger the Four Violent Disasters?

From what I've heard, Mr. Shanatris seems to be in the same pattern as Mr. Chris.

However, as far as the reaction is concerned, this seems to be the first time that Mr. Makina has learned about Mr. Shanatris' relationship with his sister.

"By the way, Makina, this is how it happened -"

And that was then.

I heard screams similar to screaming from outside.

And the screams, they go further in the chain.

We rushed reflexively to the window in the direction where the scream continued to rise.

Over there... in the direction of the West Gate, huh?

"No way...... Four Felonies?

"Wait. Weren't the Four Felonies now engaged with the Knights of the Holy Tree?

Check with the Blue Knights, Mr. Makina.

"It should be,"

"It's a shame... we've already lost. Hmm, you probably sensed people's signs and went around. It was solidified in a group and evacuated, did it come out on the back?"

"Oh no... Vanstos and the Knights of the Holy Tree, so soon..."

Mr. Makina bit his nail.

"Strong, are you? No way... it's growing, you think? Or... wasn't the information I used to analyze an indication of their true power?

From what Mr. Makina looks like, he didn't seem to expect the Four Felonies to arrive so soon.

I... opened the window.

There's a curtain in the wind.

And

"- Eighth curse, liberation"

"Huh?"

Oval holes appear.

A black slime popped out of it clutching around my arm.

I shielded that slime before splitting it, and I positioned them down like a bouncing stone.

"Then I'm coming."

Mr. Shanatris looking impressed.

"Ho, is that a curse ban... why don't you use it often"

The curse is unexpectedly applied depending on the user.

This curse, which is supposed to be used as a shield, I thought I could use it like a staircase after I knew I was free to fly and fix it in giant warfare.

I'm going down to the scaffold with the diamond-shaped shield I put in place.

"That's not if you're impressed with swallowing! Hey, no curse, before you fight -"

and

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!

The runaway students showed themselves from across the woods at the same time.

"No, no, no, no, no!

"Yay, help me. Yeah, yeah!

The students come running in desperate shape.

Beyond that, I saw people dancing in the sky.

- Coming.

It was several instructors with swords in their hands and - wearing a cylindrical hat, a huge blackened man - who showed up from across the forest.
