That Man’s 101st Bad Ending

The 101st me, the 35th you.-2

“Is Robert… gone?”

“Yes, I went.”

Looking at Adele, who had returned alone, Lotos made a complicated expression.

I thought she looked a little shaken from the moment she learned that the princess was in danger.

Even though saving the princess was the top priority, it was true that he couldn’t readily understand that he would go out alone.

His attitude was so serious that he couldn’t be stopped, and besides, wasn’t Adele conniving at it?

The only thing that bothered me was Adele’s expression.

It was the first time he had seen even Lotos, so it was difficult to grasp how Adele was feeling.

What is certain is that I am in a very, very bad mood right now.

“…is gone.”

Adele, who answered that, slightly lowered her head.

Unlike usual, he seemed a little depressed.

Even though he seemed annoyed, the light in his eyes was dimmer than usual.

Lotos couldn’t say anything to Adele.

If I talked to her now, Adele’s emotions would explode.

It was the first time I saw a weak side.

And only then did she remember that Adele was a woman before she was a grand duke.

If you follow Robert and come back with that expression… No matter how misunderstood it may be, rumors of this or that may arise.

It was probably worrying.

Adele could have followed, but it was only in her power to lead these hundreds of soldiers.

There might be a group ambush the scattered soldiers, so they couldn’t leave their seats easily.

So the only way was to move as quickly as possible and join Robert.

If you go alone, it’s a few hours, but if you go together, it’s enough time to spend a day.

“I think it is best to move quickly. Even if you don’t think Temuchin will defeat him, isn’t he a tough guy to catch on his own?”

“How long will it take if we send the soldiers back from here and now, and only a few join together?”

“Are you going to go without soldiers?”

“You know that even if we went together, it wouldn’t be very helpful. The goal is to rescue Her Highness, the princess, and killing Temuchin comes later.”

As usual, killing Temuchin would have been the top priority.

However, now the life of the princess is threatened,

There was a high probability that they would lose everything if they prioritized other things over the princess, who could be considered a hostage.

Are you trying to drive them into the minority?

Realizing that Adele’s judgment was not bad, Lotos nodded and opened his mouth.

“If you do, do it. I think it would be better to lead the soldiers to Bunta and join them later.”

“Okay, then Bunta and you stay and lead the soldiers. I’ll go first with the rest.”

“…Wait, are you leaving me too?”

“If you are dissatisfied, you know how to use a sword. It must be difficult to protect you there, but is it because you want to die?”

“It is not.”

If possible, it would be better to have him keep his composure by the side,

If you don’t play that role, who will? Lotos couldn’t help but nod his head.

If you don’t have confidence… maybe Robert will fill that role.

However, it was a problem when Robert was injured or killed.

What if that really happened…?

Just imagining it wouldn’t be a good situation, so Lotos let out a small sigh and wiped his forehead.

Please, no one should get hurt.

While heading to Bunta, I glanced at Adele, who was preparing to leave with her lieutenants.

It would be nice if it was just a feeling, but somehow the premonition was not good.

“Are there any sounds outside?”

– No, not at the moment. It was a little noisy earlier, but now there is no sound.

To ride a wolf for a long time,

Now, the terralite light in the northwest where the princess is is starting to be visible.

There weren’t that many immigrants around.

Perhaps the emperor handled it to some extent.

There were also soldiers stationed there by Adele, so there must have been quite a bit of time left before foreign warriors invaded Mirazen.

Not cutting off contact with Mirazen was to reassure her.

It’s pretty hard to hide in a space with no one to talk to,

I didn’t know if it would amplify her anxiety.

Even if it’s useless, it’s okay, so in this situation, it would be better to talk to her.

What I’m going to do now is the entrance to the secret passage that can reach her.

After listening to various explanations, I roughly figured out the location.

Now all I had to do was go over there and join Miragen, but when I looked over there, I knew there was a problem.

“The reason for the silence for a while must have been because the soldiers and the aliens were fighting.”

– Oh, are you fighting now? What about the charter?

“Of course it is pushed. Because we didn’t assume this situation and stationed in the first place.”

-…As expected.

It was only stationed there just in case, and no one expected that Temuchin would make up his mind and attack.

All I could think of was the possibility.

It was the first time such a situation had happened, so it was better to come up with one assumption no matter how much I thought about it.

Someone helped Temuchin. The princess’s stay in the northwest is a top-secret matter known only to the northern aide-de-camp and above.

He had a high position in the imperial family, or one of Adele’s lieutenants had told Temuchin about it.

However, it must not be the adjutant, who the hell told Temuchin about the princess?

After thinking about it for a while, I couldn’t come up with a clear figure.

Even if there was no chance of the prince directly intervening, there was no reason to keep the princess in check.

In the first place, Mirazen died only once in all my episodes.

Of course, back then Mirajen and I were already very close, so the situation itself was different from now.

That said, there are things that are very awkward to rule out, but… Recalling the letter I received from Renald, I shook my head.

There was no sign that the prince would do anything.

Even considering the possibility that Renald might have a different mind, couldn’t the prince, who would be focusing on the artifact, move first in this situation?

Finding out who he was in contact with was a later task.

First of all, we should start by saving Miragen.

When I held the sword borrowed from Adele, I felt a cold chill.

As a sword made of iron in the frozen land, and a sword that belongs to the ranks of famous swords, I could handle it no matter how much my magic power was used.

I thought they wouldn’t let it go, but I never imagined that they’d lend me a sword.

It must be that he believes in me in his own way.

Living up to that belief is probably what I have to do today.

Even if Adele were to pursue me again, the distance would have already widened.

By the time she got here, the situation was likely over.

At that time, Adele will see two things.

Either I saved Miragen, or both died.

I think while slowly injecting magical energy into my body.

If I couldn’t save Miragen, there was a high possibility that some kind of pressure would return to me in reverse.

In that case, it would be better to die again and aim for a return.

I’m used to dying.

I just can’t get used to seeing others die.

“Maybe we won’t be able to talk for a while.”

-Did you come here?

“Yes, I will contact you again when things are sorted out to some extent. Please wait while watching the situation until then. If I don’t contact you…”

There was always the possibility of what if.

Now that he couldn’t restore all of his former realms, it would have been difficult to deal with dozens of people with only 10% of his strength.

If Temuchin joins them, he will surely die.

The best move in my opinion was individual breaking.

If that fails, you will die, so after a while, he sighed and sighed slightly.

“If a situation arises in which we may not be able to contact you, we will make friends with the enemy’s chief. So get away as much as you can, somehow. To find a way to survive.”

– You talk about dying very calmly.

He laughs at the slightly angry voice.

After listening to Mirazen get angry at my laughter, he muttered in a low voice.

“If that’s the case, I guess I should stop contacting you now.”

-Uh…Did I talk too much?

“It’s not like that. I think I need to move slowly now.”

What came into my view was the movement of some of Temuchin’s troops.

Trying to find another passage instead of breaking through the blocked front door.

it was necessary to stop If that’s the case, if the passage to the east is discovered, Mirazen will be in danger in many ways.

-…Don’t get hurt. because it’s yellow

While trying to answer the words in my ears, I quietly put the artifact into my arms.

It was better not to have a long conversation with Mirazen.

Especially in this situation, it is possible to get lost in useless thoughts and make mistakes.

pounding.

I close my eyes gently to the quiet beating heart.

It was a kind of ritual-like action before committing to something.

There was a high probability that the composure of hiding one’s power like before would not work.

Shouldn’t it be possible to squeeze the power to the limit with all the power.

As he gripped Adele’s sword again, a blue light flooded over.

Even in this twilight, the light was brilliant enough to be seen at a glance, and soon the strangers who found me changed their direction and started to charge in this direction.

After getting off the wolf and shaking the reins a few times, he ran away in the opposite direction to where the aliens were coming.

After the wolf moved away for a while and then disappeared from sight, he let out a small sigh.

It was easier to dismount and fight than to fight on a wolf.

And since the wolf might get hurt, hold your posture and take a long breath.

sue-

The wind has flowed.

On this hill on which I stood, the cloak swayed like a flag.

Magical power that shines at the same time probably looks like the biggest target among them.

He swung his sword at the strangers who had come close to him before he knew it.

Chew-! There was no sound of swords clashing.

He only focused on cutting, which was different from when he was fighting Bunta.

It wasn’t to check each other’s skills, it was just to kill them.

It pierces the heart, steals the enemy’s sword, and inserts it into another.

The blue line flowing from the sword radiated fierce light.

Breathing through the lungs becomes vitality, which in turn leads to the muscles. The sword he swung while bending his body cut off three.

two three.

Again one, two.

Battle is the flow. The whole process of swinging the sword and breathing in had to be connected as one.

Even if they had a chance to win, that would be nothing but arrogance in this number.

If my movements were disturbed even for a moment, I would probably be the one to suffer.

Put your fist into the pit of the running enemy.

With a groan, he grabs the head that was vomiting blood and slams it into the ground, then kicks his feet and spreads the distance.

gap between swords.

To prevent enemies from entering the circle drawn by my arms and sword.

Simply letting them feel this gap inevitably breaks their morale.

The reputation of the Sword Saint did not exist for me now.

It’s just a fragment from the previous episode, and now I’m just Adele’s lieutenant to them.

However, there was still the same thing.

For example, the eyes of those who look at me.

Fear seeps into the eyes of those who looked at them funny at first,

That fear causes us to hesitate to act.

That was the difference between them and the formally trained knights.

Having feelings in the middle of a fight is what allows you to break through one point.

“Retreat – retreat!”

“Damn it, everyone run away!”

At the point of blowing the retreat trumpet against one person, the victorious spirit that they showed was already broken and would not recover.

He licks his lips as he breathes slowly. I couldn’t see my gap even for a second.

Rather than showing off his stamina, it was better to grit his teeth and overdo it.

“Huh!”

He inserts his sword into the chest of the foreigner he meets his eyes and cuts it.

He turned his gaze to the one who had become a torn corpse, and swung his sword at the remaining one.

Blind arrows were pierced, and the sword wielded at random touched the body, cutting off flesh.

Didn’t stop.

Because I knew it would be better to forcefully hold back those who retreat and show me that I still have room.

By the time he was breathing, spitting out the clots of blood that filled his mouth.

I realized that there were no more enemies standing around.

I must have cut 30 people, only after the eerie moonlight shone on me.

I could see that I was soaked in blood.

Fortunately, there wasn’t much of mine in that blood.

It would have been embarrassing if it had been poisoned, but since it was fine right now, there should be no problem.

I frowned at the slowly creeping pain, and started moving my steps.

Now that I know I’ve come here, the attempt to attack the door will be delayed.

“I bought time, I just need to join.”

When he pulled out the arrow stuck in his shoulder, blood gushed out.

While trying to stop the bleeding by roughly tying it up with a cloth, Mirajen’s words suddenly came to mind, and a laugh leaked out for some reason.

I think he told me not to get hurt because it was Hwangmyeong, but as soon as I heard this, it became like he had disobeyed the order.

“…get angry.”

His expression wrinkled, his arms crossed, and he could clearly see what he was going to say.

It was always the case when Mirazen was angry with me.

It must be quite difficult to free the swollen Miragen.

Laughing at the sudden worry, I started walking again.

This time, I wish I could see him so angry.
