The Strategist Knows Everything

Chapter I Restart 6

There were festivals in the King's capital of Velis.

The highlight of this festival, which celebrates the victory and the end of the war, is the swordsmanship tournament opened by Queen Kaguya.

In a colloquium in the center of the Wang capital, when the masters fought one-on-one, the audience seats were all filled and there were so many stand-up guests.

It was the forces of the two coras who were in charge of the security of such a colloquium. I guess that's why.

Len and Bikola with Yukito's secret book were the first to encounter them.

"Nicolas!"

"Ren? What's wrong?

Seeing Len in a hurry, Ercola leans her neck strangely.

Looking at such a dickola, Ren exhales.

"I'm comfortable... here you go. It's from my husband. One was told by two koras and the other by Kaguya."

"Give me one?

Two Coras look inside with a difficult look on his face, unsealing the letter for himself.

Seeing its contents, Second Cora looks up to heaven once.

"What's wrong?

"Peace doesn't last long…………."

"Aren't military people supposed to be happy?

"No, no, I'm a soldier in the stream. I'm myself. For the next few decades, I would be content if I were only at peace while I was alive... I wish I had."

"You're a bad boss to have that wish."

"That's true."

Two Coras answered Ren and smiled bitterly, turning back on his heels with a black coat.

At that moment, Nikola's expression had changed to that of Yukito's trusted troop leader.

"The Rioles will prepare the horses and contact Knox units! As soon as we get Kaguya's permission, we're going to Count Clay's territory!

The men nod at the clear instructions and hurry to start the action.

And Ercola went into the colloquium with Yukito's letter.

"We're gonna do really well."

VIP seats at the Coliseum. Erica was among the most senior seats.

He wore a luscious atmosphere, and every time he reassembled his legs, the soldiers had trouble finding a place for their eyes.

Next to Erica like that was Kaguya.

"How about Erica join us?

"I want you to stop joking. I'm sorry I fought with my sword."

"It's not like you can't use it, is it?

"Right. I can use some, but I don't want to fight those swordsmanship idiots."

Erica doesn't treat Kaguya like a king. Because it was Kaguya who invited Erica on an equal footing to this occasion.

Though a doomed little country, Erica is the queen of the country. Kaguya invited Erica to a place worthy of that identity.

I got Erica that. Because I felt that it was a sinful destruction for Kaguya.

"Don't you want out more than I do?

"As for the real deal, I want to come out. But as a king, that's a little bit."

"Right. If I did, I'd know what Yukito would say to me."

The moment Erica gave Yukito his name, Kaguya lurked her eyebrows and fronted her displeasure.

Erica smiles bitterly at the look.

"It's on your face, isn't it? So dissapointed that Yukito isn't here?

"I'm not unhappy I'm not here. I'm not happy you're not coming."

"Neither is with me"

"We're not together! Yukito is under my command! When it comes to me coming, it's natural to come!

"Well, yeah. Normally, it is. But he's not normal. You should give up."

Kaguya looked remorseful.

Erica saw such a kaguya and decided to get off topic.

Because when I saw the grumpy kaguya, I noticed that the soldiers who were escorting me were blue.

"Let's not talk about people who aren't there. That's just how pathetic those fighting are."

"Right...... We got them together because of this. If you don't look, you'll have to thank me."

This swordsmanship tournament qualifies and narrows it down to eight. And the eight of us should be playing the tournament.

The qualifying round is Battle Royal, which fights until one participant is present.

Five people have already decided to win out, and the rest are three.

And those three were about to decide.

"I knew Knox's captains would win."

"That doesn't exactly fall in the qualifying round. Yukito found them himself."

"When they say that, I honestly can't support you………"

"Hehe. I know exactly how Yukito feels about making fun of you."

"I have never been from Yukito!

"Really? I think you always make fun of military chess?

"Gu... that's... yukito coming into the weakness of the loser is bad!

Erica looks to three stages while desperately enjoying Kaguya's opposition.

There Ars, Mikana and Roy waved their swords.

Exactly. Only Knox's troop leader has survived many battles, and the brawl is yours. He is lightly defeating the enemies that are coming at him.

"Are you listening!? Erica!?"

"Yes, sir. I'm listening."

"That kind of reaction sounds like Yukito to me!?

"Oh? Really? Was I under his influence, too?

Erica conceives with her index finger on her chin. Because it was unusual for me to be influenced by people.

"Hmm, what do you think? I think you might be taking it. We've been together forever."

"Always with you? Erica did?

"Right. I was putting on the brakes because I would work hard with Micah alone. Because you're not and you're not going to rest."

"Hmm, you're disqualified from being able to manage yourself!

Erica laughs couscous at Kaguya's words.

Because I know Kaguya is also the type close to Yukito. And it's Yukito's job to give him a break.

Because we know that, we can't help but find Kaguya interesting to criticize Yukito.

"Oh? Looks like we're done here."

The qualifying round was over while we were talking.

Knox's three are spare, qualifying breakthroughs, and are among the eight.

"The real thing is after this. I'll leave the draw to luck. Knox could hit each other."

"Then you want Roy to do his best. She regretted not being recognized by Ars and Mikana."

"You didn't admit it?

"I admit it. As a swordsman."

"As commander, you mean immature."

"Roy is a warrior-biased commander, so he's the shining type under someone who uses himself as well as Yukito. As far as I'm concerned, I'm not dissatisfied with it. Not the same type, but I think Yukito is with Roy. Yukito, like the general's ultimate, compensates for his shortcomings by his men. I think Roy would have grown more if he'd noticed there too."

Relying on others.

Erica thought that was the decisive difference between Roy and Yukito.

If only that were possible, Roy could climb higher. That's probably what you could do with Yukito shoulder to shoulder in as many years as Yukito.

"That might be difficult. Me too... it took me a while to realize there"

"Oh. It's like asking for a subordinate now, isn't it?

"I'm asking for it. I'm the king."

"Then believe in Yukito. He won't do anything meaningless."

"That's a different matter from this. If you have any ideas, you should talk to me first."

"If I told you anything, you would try too hard, so maybe you didn't?

"You think so?

"Yeah, because he doesn't like to burden you. Well, don't worry. 'Cause I'll always depend on you in the end."

The moment I said so.

The VIP room door was knocked.

"It's two coras. We have urgent news."

"Get in."

"Excuse me."

When Bikora opens the door, she kneels near Kaguya and gives her a letter from Yukito.

"It's a secret book from Count Clay."

"From Yukito? Did you even tell him it was an excuse not to come?

So when Kaguya lifted the seal, a short sentence appeared.

"The Imperial Army and thoughtfully a thousand bandits appeared. Please help... Yukito doesn't seem to have any pride."

"Hehe, that sounds yukito. Simple is fine."

"Hmm, if you had stayed on your own territory in vigilance of the Empire, you could have said that... at all"

Saying so, I saw a grin on Kaguya's face.

I'm glad I finally relied on you, as Erica said.

"He has no choice. What do we do? Do we go to reinforcements?

"It's important if you move. We'll come with you. Well, just me and two coras would be fine."

"You're going to be angry when you're out of company, aren't you? Those three."

"Haa...... I can't help it"

Kaguya leaves on the balcony installed in front of the VIP room.

All eyes concentrate beneath Kaguya. The same was true of the eight qualifying passers.

Everyone had a feeling the final tournament was about to start.

However.

"We're going to have a tournament by eight people who have made it through the qualifying round... we were going to, but we got a little in the way. A massive bandit appears on the border with the Empire, in Count Clay's territory."

Upset runs within the Coliseum into Kaguya's words.

To quell it, Kaguya goes on to say the word.

"It's a big deal. I didn't know there were still people in my Velis who ran into the foolish act of banditry. It means there are still those who underestimate my subordinate power! Overlooking this leads to undermining Velis' martial authority! So... I decided to crush it with all my strength!

When Kaguya says so, the scene is inside the Coliseum.

Everyone was waiting for the next word.

"I will now revive Knox as my immediate unit! Ars, Mikana, Roy. It's a shame you can't see the sword moves of those guys, but that sword is something that is more wielded on the battlefield than it was before. Get them back where they belong! Bring me the winnings at the end of the festival!

Kaguya waves exaggerated and gives the order.

Ars, Micana and Roy, who were in the center of the Coliseum on that order, kneel.

"" "Your pleasure!

The three men who heard the order head to the exit in a whim.

Then, at some point, the two coras who were ahead hand over the three coats.

When the three weaved it, the colloquium was wrapped in anger at once.

"Erica, I asked for it."

"Yeah, I'll bring him in tight. It seems that the king is restless without his warrior around him."

"Huh!? I don't remember ever saying that!?

"It's written on my face."

Yes, Erica tells me. Kaguya vehemently argues, but without asking, Erica leaves the VIP room.

And down the stairs, Erica also weaves a black coat.
