The Strategist Knows Everything

When I arrived in Ferenol, I decided to take Mikana and walk the city when I lurked a few of the people I had followed as escorts into the city. I didn't tell the Ferenol side that I was coming, so I put on my hat, took off my coat, and dressed myself in a sneaky way.

Next to me, Mikana walks in clothes similar to her town daughter's. The only impression I have is the armor or military uniform, so when it comes to freshness, it's fresh.

"Is there something wrong with my outfit?

"No, you look great. Well, I don't like the fact that it's normal."

To say that you only see Micah's uniform or armor means that the battle is so close.

The reality that girls younger than me are fighting strikes me with indescribable helplessness. Besides, the girl is my escort. I'm shocked in a double sense.

"I am a knight. Armor is its original form. And that's what I wanted."

Micah tells me that you guessed from my expression what I was thinking.

Micah is good at reading thoughts from my look because she's been my deputy all this time. I'm not going to be having that easy of a reaction, but I get a light read.

"Right…… it's the path you chose……"

"That's right. So that's not what Yukito cares about. Now focus on what you have to accomplish."

Saying so, Micana turns her sharp gaze a little back.

I'm being tailed. It's as awkward a tail as I can tell. Because of the distance, I can't see the status, but is it completely amateur in motion?

He came a little closer and was captured at the edge of his vision, so he was able to discern his appearance to some extent. It is a boy in his early teens who is following him. Micana looks at me and asks me for directions on how to deal with this.

I shake my head slightly. You shouldn't have your hands on this one until you know if it's harmful.

Nevertheless, this should be used.

Whoever it is, there are people interested in us. If you're on the ferenol side, you should honestly call me. Besides, you're not supposed to use children for tailing.

When that happens, I get interested in the person I tailed.

Because I wanted to meet Fiona Albright as an individual, I didn't tell Ferenol about my visit, but maybe I could meet her in an unexpected way.

"What if I told you I was looking for people?

"Right. I thought it would be best to use locals."

Me and Mikana don't know where Fiona Albright is. All I know is that he's not at the Taisho Hall in Ferenol, and now he's acting to better accommodate refugees from the front line.

I wasn't on the front line myself, but I'm first-hand with the evacuees. Maybe it's a little different that I hate people. With that in mind, I follow Micana into the crowd.

Mikana moved to the blind spot of the boy who was following him well and let him take himself and me out of the boy's sight lightly.

Me and Mikana ask about the boy from his blind spot. Because he lost us, after looking around, he realized he had been scattered. He trampled on the estate and the boy regrets it.

Perhaps the boy will go under the person who ordered him to be tailed for reporting.

And we're willing to go after it. When looking for people, it is most efficient to have local people guide you. I don't care if you're willing to show someone around, well, at this point.

Most of all, it doesn't necessarily go under my hunter. But he's the kind of person who tails me. You realize who I am, or you would be someone with circumstances where you have to be alert to the people who came into the city.

It would be important to know what kind of person you are.

While I was thinking about that in my mind, walking a little behind Mikana, I chased after the boy.

■ ■ ■

I heard that the city of Ferenol is in good security, but there seems to be some confusion in hosting the evacuees and some insecure places.

The boy we were chasing got tangled up by three good Gatai men. Help may prevent you from reaching the person who ordered you to follow him.

That's what I thought, and I hesitated to give Mikana instructions. In the meantime, the boy refuses to give him something, and he grabs the boy's chest because he says something, and the men get annoyed.

He's a little boy who's not even old enough. Such a child is entangled in an adult. I don't think I need a reason to help, but I hesitated because of this thought. While I don't like myself like that, I nod at Mikana, who's been looking at me for a while now.

Micah picked up some of the pebbles that were falling around there and threw them at the boys.

The stone hits the man who was about to hit him, and the man raises his distressed voice. The stone hit slightly above the man's joint. No, did you guess? Failure to hit the joint would be a consideration to avoid injury.

"Holy shit! What the fuck!?

"This is the dialogue. Why would you do anything shameful to raise your hand to a child?

Saying pale, Mikana approached the men as if they were untouched.

You mistake Micana for even a town daughter with a strong sense of justice, when the men try to beat Micana up as she screams. Towards the arms of such men, Mikana throws a stone with a snap on her wrist.

The men, pebbled by their shaken arms, began to move to surround Micana, distorting their faces.

Micah dares to surround such men with nothing, not at all intentional.

They pulled the men away from the boys.

I put it on the edge of my sight while watching the boy.

At first, the boy had the look of help, but after seeing Mikana's face and realizing with whom he had been following him until earlier, he had the look of confusion.

Nothing stands out about the boy's status. Fighting power is low, and even if the numbers drop slightly, they never go up. I guess it's because of the upset that I dropped, so I guess there's no telling if the boy's hiding his powers. If you're Admiral Arnold's eater, and you can exercise restraint so much that your status doesn't move at all, then it's another story, but I don't think you have such a child, and there's no reason for such a child to have such a low status.

Judging by that, I see Mikana kicking the men with her bare hands. Naturally, there is no scratch. Or I'm not even sweating. This must be before breakfast.

With that in mind, I walk towards the boy, say it close, and then stop. Because the boy gave a frightened look.

"Are you okay?"

……

The boy nods silently and small. And I snort back, and I ask quietly.

"You know me?

"... I don't know. But the people you don't know come to town often these days."

"Is that why you followed me?

"…… If you noticed me and came into contact with me, you asked me to show you around."

Doubts come to mind. Naturally, I wonder who.

That's the one who ordered the kid to follow him. But if you notice, show me. I don't understand the instructions. If you don't have to realize that people don't need to see each other, well, I know, but if you do that, it wouldn't make sense if you didn't let someone with a little better tail do it. I even noticed the kid's tail.

Nevertheless. If you follow this kid with that question, you'll see.

"Who told you that?

"It's your sister. Our sister."

If you say sister, you're definitely a woman. If you are a man and you have a hobby to call me your sister, or if you do not have difficult sexual problems.

That's not how I would see such a rare person. Fiona Albright is supposed to be the one who's most careful with newcomers in this city. I'm not supposed to see anyone who feels like such a jerk more than confirming that she's an empress.

With that in mind, I asked the boy who was following me.

■ ■ ■

"There's usually a man who seems a little more resilient."

Saying so, whoever was sitting in the chair in the back of the larger house where I was guided raised his back.

If you look at the stats, the combat power is over ninety and the stats that are likely to be relevant to the battle are high.

I stretch my spine unexpectedly. It's not because I saw the status. Just because your voice is intimidating or dignified.

"... the boy was following me."

"I ordered it."

"... why?

Micana, who is holding back on my right diagonal, is waiting all the time like whatever happens. But the status basically doesn't lie. Micana won't be able to beat the opponent who came before me more than she is losing in combat. Unless, of course, you can fit into a trap or make it impossible to fight, but if you do that, you will lose your fighting power.

I mean, combat power doesn't lie. So if you get in a bad mood in front of someone, it's probably gonna be awkward for me and Mikana. It's unexpected that someone with a lot of fighting power will come out so far.

I thought I was an intelligent person who thought the same thing about me.

"There are three kinds of people who come to this city. The first is someone who came to do business like a merchant. I can tell by the outfit. The second is the evacuee from the front line, I can see this with my eyes. He's running away and he's got eyes that don't know what to do, so his behavior gets caught up in it and he gets close to suspicious behavior. And the third. They didn't come running, they came with a purpose. Those people have a lot of families of refugees. I have this place to help these people, but sometimes people like you are mixed up."

I'm going to go around me slowly, and I'm going to make some rules. They still don't know who I am.

"... we came looking for people too. His name is Fiona Albright."

"I know. I just, you know, I usually have national bills?

"……… because I am not a national."

"I see. Rumor has it that reinforcements from Velis... did you just knock and say? Is that the guy there?

I already took my hat. If I say Knox with dark hair and black eyes, I'll be the captain soon.

Blunt for a hero who defended his country many times from the Warcraft. No, I know it's not Fiona Albright. I know, but he didn't point it out because he seemed to behave that way somehow.

No, isn't that the same thing? True to say I didn't want to point it out. More importantly, I don't want to get involved with each other as much as possible.

"My name is Yukito Clay and I am captain of General Knox....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"I'm Fiona, right?

"No, I was wondering if you probably have a different gender"

Micah in the back would say that I was going to tell her away.

Yes, it is. The person in front of me has a male gender, and his name is Charlotte. The name shown on the status screen is basically your real name, but not if you think so from the bottom of your mind.

Perhaps this person seriously thinks of his name as Charlotte, or his named parents were very visionary.

But I want you to take a better look at who you are, no matter what.

He is one hundred and eighty-nine centimeters tall and rounded to one hundred and ninety. When I wondered if I could even see such a physical thing, I could see it. I didn't want to see it if I could. My mind would be a maiden, but I don't want to know the weight of a man.

His face is strangely tough with his beard. But the trick is still a maiden, twisting her body. I'm sorry but it's very disgusting. As soon as I saw it, so much so that Micana tried to put me down and get out of the house, the destructiveness would be common to 10,000 people. Of course, I caught Micah with my right hand at that time, but because of that, I pulled out Micah's direct ball question.

"Am I a woman?

"Physically, I thought it was a man. And if possible, can you not touch my superior officer?

That's how Micah pays attention to Charlotte, who puts her hand on my shoulder, with her somewhat grumpy face and voice.

Honestly, I appreciate it. If I'm just going around, I still want you to give me a break from touching me to snuggle my body.

"Oh? Your boyfriend? She doesn't look good on a cute girl like you, does she?

"Apart from being invincible, it's not a mistake that doesn't match me, it's a mistake that I don't. He can't even stand next to me."

"You've been buying a lot, haven't you? You don't look so amazing. The force doesn't look strong, and that's why I don't even look like I'm losing my head... You... what's so great about it?

Yes, the moment Charlotte said it, there was a severe pain running on my shoulder. All of a sudden they grabbed me by force that wasn't half. That's both shoulders, too. Even though it hurts so much that I can't stand, I can't even fall because they're grabbing my shoulder.

But Micah is closing in instantly.

"Micana!?

Cut Charlotte's arm off with the removed dagger.

Charlotte immediately noticed and took her hand off my shoulder, so it didn't bleed out, but it was all right because Charlotte had a high level of combat power. If the other person was a normal person, it wasn't so strange that they took his arm, he was so sharp as to be fat.

"My task is to protect you. But whoever does harm to Yukito will not forgive you."

Mikana's eyes, who said so pale, were definitely angry. But Charlotte was laughing at it.

"That was dangerous. I see. You seem to have a strong bond. For both of us. I'm just telling you, I like cute boys."

"Am I out of range?

"Right. But I like it even more."

"What is it?

"Sweet girl."

I could see Mikana's spine trembling. I guess I ran scared for sure. Still, it's very nice not to back out of my way. But Charlotte's eyes aren't the same as they were looking at me earlier, those of a hunter trying to pin his prey on me.

"Wow, I'm out of range, too"

"Just in the area"

Without thinking about Charlotte winking, I have a chill in my spine, too. But a direct Micana would be more than that.

I didn't expect to come across such an enemy, I just came to talk to Fiona Albright.

How do you think this happened? I was thinking about how to open up this situation. I was thinking, but that all made no sense.

Because Charlotte was powerless.

"Shull! Are you having another fight with a customer!?

"Chi, no! I have a bad bug approaching Fiona."

"It's not different at all! Sorry! Didn't Charles bother you?

Saying so, the girl who came down from the second floor of the house, once she lowered her head to me, immediately looks up and stares at my appearance.

Then.

"Maybe...... Mr. Velis' military master?

"Yes………. Would you like to be Princess Fiona............?

When I said that with a tired face, Empress Fiona smiled and shook her head vertically.
