The Strategist Knows Everything

"Yukito! Lady Claire!

Count Eulen calls me and Lady Claire from afar. Because of all the footsteps, he must have finished his reign of the royal castle and come to reinforcements here.

But I can't afford to look at you. Blaig's status is blurring in my sight right now.

I think I'm about to grab something, and I think I'm about to see something. However, the bigger the brake on the status screen, the sharper the pain runs in the back of my head.

It would be better for your body to stop. That's why the pain runs. But there are two people fighting in front of us. I'm so tired that I'm worn out already and I don't think I should stop anymore and want to speak up, but I've never just given up on my eyes.

Looking at you two, I think I'll try my best. And I admire that. To two people who can influence someone.

Maybe I want to be that kind of person and like that kind of person.

People who can do anything, people who are around, people who are at the center of the wheel. So was my best friend, and I admired him even then. But I know because I admired it. Sometimes it's hard to do that. Being around means having to deal with different people, and being able to do anything means having to do anything.

I thought I didn't want to be responsible for that. I still don't like talking to people. I couldn't do it, imitated my best friend, and I've dealt with various people in this world, but it's only on the surface that it works, and only part of me understands, and I'm stressed out a lot.

Unexpectedly, I think it's Master Dio's fault. That's why I noticed. Maybe my best friend, that guy, he couldn't do it, and he was upset about everything he didn't understand.

I know because I imitated it. It's hard to get along. My heart is about to come together.

But now that I know that, I won't look away anymore.

Anyone who supports you in hard times is important. I've never known myself to be supported.

Because I admire those two, I want to be there for them. I'd like to be useful outside the fight if possible, but right now I'm in the middle of a fight, because this fight means so much to both of us.

I want to be of some use now.

"... I'll take a peek at it all...!

"Yukito!?

I feel liquid flowing through my cheeks. It's not a tear. I'm confident. The liquid touches the lips. I licked it and it tasted like iron. Blood.

I can see Count Eulen rushing up to me like that. Master Claire is already away from me. Maybe it was turned behind the knights. If they take me hostage again, I won't let them.

But it's my first experience with blood coming out of my eyes. But it feels like something worked hard, and it's not bad.

There are four screens in my field of view, each of them reflecting Braig's information.

The time of birth or the habit of sleeping. What wounds did you get on the battlefield from the detailed background of your father and mother, and how many others did you kill?

Probably I don't remember myself, and things that I don't care about are flowing into my head naturally. I'm not reading it. It's pouring in. Without vision.

"Guh! Guh!!

"What's wrong Yukito!?

I can't answer Count Eulen's voice. I can't afford that. My brain is already going to be short. But a little more, we haven't reached the secret of absorbing magic yet.

For a moment, all the information stops and a new fifth screen comes out in front of me.

Demon. A human subspecies that feed on magic. Almost no different from humans, but with physical abilities and magic that easily outweigh humans, giving precedence to instincts over reason. Because magic is needed to maintain the body, it is necessary to absorb magic regularly. It's already extinct as a species.

Magic Power Absorbing Physique. Something like a demon's meal. Absorbs magic power from the opponent's mouth or chest from the palm of his hand. Demons use a lot of magic power to maintain their bodies. For that reason, if you fail to do this act, the demon will die.

Got it. Definite information. I know what I want to know.

The five screens become one. The status screen is the same as before, but some information has been added.

Ancestor Return.

steep point/neck. Because there are institutions that control magic power.

Remarks. Enables attacks with divine fans that disassemble magic and disable magic.

"... kindness..."

Squeeze, close your eyes. It's dry because it stayed open all the time, and more importantly, it's too bad to hurt. Why are you doing this? All the words I regret are on my mind.

But I did it. After that, it's not my job.

What we have in common is disorientation. Some are good at understanding what's going on around them in a broad perspective, while others are good at focusing on one thing in front of them.

And my role on the battlefield is not to defeat the enemy.

Find out how to defeat it, figure it out, and teach it to the doable.

"Count Eulen…… How many are here…………?

"There are about a hundred knights...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"It's okay............. Lead a hundred men and break them into that battle and let them in......?

"Oh, to that fight......? Is that necessary to win……?

Count Eulen's face gets tight. It is indeed a fierce battle. You understand it's a disgrace to let only the Lord fight, Count Eulen, or the knights under his ministry, so much so that they don't rush over.

But those two are physically limited. It will be pushed off as it is. For once, it's awkward not to let it rest.

"Necessary……. Count Eulen... you don't count on me... do you?

"Duh, what's wrong all of a sudden!?

"You don't rely on me do you………?

"Hmmm...... very. Honestly, I was only thinking about the extent to which it was meant to catch Mr. Kaguya's attention. Not now, of course, but, well, you can't rely on it."

Because the situation is the situation, Count Eulen is going to smash it. It sucks. Maybe Dio is something similar. I guess the place where you don't choose the means for the purpose is like a father. Dio-sama was trying to defeat his father, even if he had approached his opponent to some degree.

Maybe it was to make me desperate to be close. Even if it wasn't all like that, I feel like I had some intention.

Well, can I do that now? It's my fault that they didn't look ahead. Instead, that's how much people do it, if you think you're taking it to that king and each other's war situations and bringing it directly into a confrontation here.

Out of the blue, my man's eyes might be superior. Though I wasn't meant to be that far.

"But... neither I nor Count Eulen... perhaps, from Lady Dio or Lady Caguya's point of view, you don't rely...?

"They are too bad to compare…… they are both the children of that king……"

"Yes...... Those two don't usually need help... but they need it now..."

"Yukito......?

Stand up with all your strength in your painful body. Especially the pain in my left hand is unusual. It didn't hurt this much when I broke my leg when I was a kid. Well, I couldn't possibly move then.

"Until now, someone who worked hard has been in trouble and needs help...... Even the slightest force can help me now...... Though I may not always be able to support you."

Gradually the voice grows louder. There is something I must tell the knights who are here.

When confronted with an enormous enemy, my heart flaunts. It is difficult to free your heart with a twinge. That's what the knights are today. I can't let go of my heart if I'm not myself to say so.

Although it depends on how much Master Dio admires his knights, that won't be a problem. After that, how much can I tell the knights? Shake your heart.

"I can support you now...... I have sworn... that I will make you win... Now the fate of this country hangs on the victory or loss of this battle, and the future lies a little further……. I don't have enough hands to grasp that future..."

Talking. Talking is what you use when you pull someone else. Talking is what you use when you rely on them.

"Though I'm weak and unreliable... will you get on with my measures?

Some people don't like to rely on others. But I don't care. What we need is results. No matter what happens in the process, I don't care who I rely on. Attention is the privilege of the strong.

I fight to be weak because I am weak.

"… We are knights under your command even if you do not tell us. I swear I will give up my life for my lord."

That's what Count Eulen says, pulling out his hips sword. Following that, the knights begin to lay their swords.

"Tell me what to do. What are we supposed to do?

"First, I will remove Master Dio and Master Caguya from the king. Sorry about that from there. Good luck and stop the king. Four or five people will be surrounded, and if they get hurt, repeat the retreat, and we'll get plenty of time."

"So the two of you recovered stopped it? What, after all, you two did me a favor?"

"If you can do it, you can do it, right?

"So is that...... It's not a bad idea to fight that king with this hand! Everybody, let's go!!

The knights turn to the king with cheer.

Mr. Dio and Mr. Kaguya, who were wondering how this was going, take a distance from Braig in a way that would replace the knights.

On one knee and a rough exhale to the two, I move on as I drag my body. My whole body hurts as much as it seems to pass out, but I don't need to pass out because of that pain.

Thanks to that. I can't just pass out here.

"Just listen to me"

Saying so, I spoke to the two of them about a simple operation.

■ ■ ■

A few minutes later, the knights surrounding Braig were less than halfway there. Count Eulen is also falling back with wounds. The boulder has more than a hundred fighting abilities.

However.

"If you're not immortal, slash it and you'll die"

I dared to move into Braig's sight. I'm tired of this guy. So jump right at the new prey.

"What measures have you been thinking about?

"It's a way to kill you."

Excitement has subsided, either because we were fighting against the missing knights. He slaughtered all those knights, but he's not even out of breath, and he's talking to me, and he's got knights coming from the left and right like children.

"That is............ looking forward to it!!

It's easy to get through the siege, and Braig is approaching my eyes. But that's exactly what I expected.

Master Kaguya is approaching from behind. If only he could scratch his neck, this guy wouldn't be able to control his magic properly.

"I know!

"Kuh!"

The slaughter from behind Kaguya is accepted. Blaig pushes Master Kaguya back at his disposal, but with that gap, Master Dio sticks in from the side. Poke.

Braig reads it and twists his body. And slap your knee into Dio's abdomen.

Braig laughs niggardly, but I have the same expression.

I've already pulled the dagger with my right hand toward Blaig's neck. You won't be on guard at all, my attack. It's inevitable for Blaig not to look at his feet.

I thought so.

"I have a personality to revise my ratings immediately. Your reputation is surprisingly high."

Braig, who grabbed my right hand with his left hand without a sword, comes to his left hand as much as he wants.

"Huh!? Guh!"

"I'm sorry to hear that............?

Braig looks at my expression and tilts his neck. It's too late. You looked sweet.

Dio's obsession.

"I'm sorry to hear that. You lost to my master."

"What...?

With a fan tapped into his abdomen, Braig notices his anomaly. A demon who uses a lot of magic to maintain his body has been disassembled. It's weirder not to get weird.

On the status screen in my eyes, Braig's combat and magic drops rapidly.

"Nooooooooo!!

Braig squeezes his power and tries to suck the magic out of me. But that doesn't make sense.

"Little magic...... so!?

"If it's my magic, you can suck it. There's only one."

Braig doesn't have the power to answer my words. The complexion turns blue and I don't see any hegemony anywhere until earlier.

Master Dio relentlessly showers a blade at such a Braig.

"Gu......"

"I will bear your sins. I'll pay for everything you've done. [M] So get the hell out of this world."

Master Dio said so and tried to pull out his sword.

I couldn't.

"Ha ha ha... I saw it sweet...... Dio and Clay, you too...... but"

You guys look at me too sweetly.

The moment I said that, Blaig's body was engulfed in flames.

Let go of your sword, and Master Dio will stand in front of me and spread his fans.

A moment later.

The flame that wrapped Braig's body spread throughout the kings.

■ ■ ■

"Yukito! Don't leave me!

"You don't have to tell me to leave!

Me and Dio, covered in flames, couldn't move in a back-to-back state.

I don't even know the safety of the knights or Master Kaguya. Well, before that, we're bigger pinches.

"You were insulting my father's obsession...... I can't believe you're using magic at your own expense..."

"If it's a magical flame, that fan doesn't work on a flame that's already burning and spreading into things, and me and Dio are so full of creativity... this is awkward."

Lady Dio suddenly laughed when I put up with a little breathlessness and said it in my mouth to sort things out.

Speak up.

"Dear Dio............?

"Absolutely… I never get tired of being with you. Yukito."

"That's our line. I wouldn't have imagined a while ago that you would lay low and use the facts so well that the end of the sentence would be left in the flames of obsession."

That's what I say, with the meaning of being hot and distracting the pain. With all kinds of emotions, of course.

"I know I'm sorry. But you can't help it, can you? That's why I called you. [M] To this world."

"Right......... eh...?

"Your reaction is interesting. That's why I keep wanting to reveal my secret."

I didn't quite understand what Dio said when he said that and laughed. I called for it. Until then, I still know. But in this world. It's strange to say that. First of all, to use the word "world".

"That's how you stop talking perky without my permission. Diorud Arklite."

Trying to hear what I have to say, I look back at my voice, not Dear Dio.

A surprisingly white skinned man with green hair was standing in flames. He has a harp in his arm. Dear Dio speaks to such a man intimately.

"Hey, Lelfa. As you can see, it's an awkward situation. Can you help me?

"I'm in trouble for you to die. Naturally, so are the Gentiles."

That said, the man known as Lelfa rings the harp. That alone put out the flame in an instant. I was familiar with the sound.

That's the sound I heard when the darkness drank me.

"Thank you. Lelfa. Okay, Yukito. What shall we talk from?

Saying so, Master Dio smiled softly.
