Episode 82

I opened my eyes only after the sun had set.

I didn’t sleep properly lying down, so the tiredness doesn’t go away, and it’s hard to get my heavy body up even after waking up.

“Are you awake?”

But, unexpectedly, it got better quickly.

“I don’t want to wake up.”

“Do what is convenient for you, brother.”

“I’ll stay like this for five more minutes.”

“Whoops, that’s simple.”

Because as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw black hair, and I realized that I was cutting Naiel’s knee.

So I closed my eyes again. It should stay like this for a little while longer.

“How is it outside?”

“You’re holding up well. I went to help Lady Yuxilla and the children of Her Majesty the Princess.”

“You must be tired.”

I kind of wanted to be quiet.

Even if they matched their breath, there was a difference in the total amount of mana.

Students who lack mana get tired faster than other students, and auxiliary power to fill that void is important.

“Then I must go… … .”

“lay down.”

“Ouch.”

Hold on.

I was about to get up, but Neil pressed my forehead gently. I had no strength in my neck, so I couldn’t help but lower my head.

“When you wake up, he will definitely go to help, so please dry him off.”

“Did they say that?”

“Yes, I have good friends.”

“sure.”

I turned over to face over the barrier. I can’t see down since I’m lying down, I can only see the black sky through the laser melted from the gun barrel.

“Can’t you make more of that?”

“Materials near the barrier have been used up. It’s not common.”

“ha.”

After the fourth day, the airstrike entered a new phase.

They will prepare in their own way, but since the top of the barrier will be exposed to direct threats, not a small number of students who have been sure of their safety will die or get injured.

“If only there was one more… … .”

With that much power and precision.

If only I could use a longer range than Mage Derek’s magic.

If only one more step had been left, it could have turned the tide of the war.

Looking around, there is no new gun barrel. A gun barrel on a cradle, and a gun barrel lying on the floor nearby. Both were completely melted down.

“Have you got one more left?”

“yes?”

Surprised by Neil’s words, I stood up.

“Where are you? Where are you?”

“Yes? In the box my sister and I are sitting on right now… … . You didn’t say you made three.”

Nayel said that he made three to improve accuracy from the beginning.

After firing two, you can accurately estimate the distance by calculating the midpoint.

Two feet ahead was enough.

Because Baeller Rongrd calculated the distance. One foot left.

“I was wondering if there was anything more to shoot. Didn’t you block most of the air raids?”

The stone soldier has fallen, and Derek and Coltman’s magic is intact. The students are well rested and in good physical condition.

Even if monsters swarm again, the front lines are strong. Enough soldiers.

If you have the mana to shoot one laser, it’s enough to shoot 200 1-star magic. There was no need to rush.

“Because I don’t think there’s only one monster like that.”

“… … Couldn’t that be all?”

“First of all, it is to prepare. grunt.”

Now that Neil got up from his seat, he tried to take out the long gun barrel from the box. Didn’t even budge.

“I can’t do that alone. We have to call the soldiers. Shall I call you?”

“yes. I think it would be better to place them on the command side. I will bring Her Highness and Hira with me.”

Two people who can shoot lasers need to save their mana in advance.

In the meantime, I brought Ainim and Hira, who were with the class A students from the second and third walls, to the command center.

“What is this… … .”

“Laser.”

“okay! Anyway, the magic came out of this strange cannon. It’s just a finished crab.”

Derek, who had been withdrawn while Coltman took over the front, showed interest in Razor. He said that he helped for a while when making castings in the early days.

Derek asked, tapping the gun barrel.

“What are you going to do with this?”

“There is no guarantee that the same monster as before is the same. It’s to save power just in case.”

“You unlucky bastard. When you say that, huh? All I can hear is that there is still something very fucked up!”

“I am very sorry about that.”

Derek nudged the shoulder with the tip of his wand.

“Mage, how much do you have in your magical power?”

“Well, maybe two days will be fine. Coltman will last one more day.”

“Two days.”

“It will be over in two days. Kanin, that bastard gave me a cool blow. Coke! About 40,000 would have been well buried.”

He says it with a giggle, but there is no smile on his face.

“Professor Kanin’s job… … .”

“Hey, I’ve lived a long time. My body was fine, so I thought I would live longer than I did. Eh, when you get old, you have to die.”

Magicians who have received the title of mage often come and go.

In order to understand and develop magic, it is good to refer to the eyes of other wizards, but it is impossible without reaching a similar level.

“Do you have any words left?”

“You left me a word.”

“Tsk.”

After one click, Derek was speechless. I quietly returned to the back of the command post.

There were blankets and things like that, and tired professors were lying on their backs.

“how about it?”

“You say you have enough magic.”

He answered Hira’s question.

The role of Coltman, Derek, and other faculty members in the command department was to intercept high-level monsters.

Since you have to stay there until the air raid is over, you won’t have time to worry about anything else.

“Hira, what about you?”

“At least once will be fine.”

“What if I fall again?”

“If you rest now, you will be fine. It’s better to do what I’ve already done than what Rocks shoots.”

“That’s right, but.”

The laser is a form close to fusion magic, so Ainim and Hira, who have already worked together twice, should be in charge.

“Do you have any guesses?”

“Not sure. I’ve been there, so it’s a hunch.”

The eighth episode has a big change as it is only halfway in terms of episodes.

The same goes for the megalithic soldier, and from this time, monsters classified as ‘top class’ appear. A formidable enemy that cannot be fought in the first place unless it is a mage-level magician.

In addition, a new type of monster following the marine monster also appears.

“After all, there is nothing special about it. There is also a place that has been constantly talked about in the Magic Society since before.”

“A flying monster… … .”

“okay.”

flying monster. It is literally a flying monster.

All monsters live with their feet on the ground. But these monsters are like that. Although the species are diverse, there is one animal that looks similar in appearance.

If so, won’t winged monsters appear someday? It was a possibility that had been constantly raised.

“Did you find it?”

“no. I couldn’t see it with my own eyes There were footprints left. Why, bird footprints look like this.”

I lifted three fingers and held them out like flippers.

“It could be an ordinary bird, right?”

“That was a bit big.”

“How much?”

“They say only my height.”

“Phew, that’s good enough. I also thought it was the same size as that monster.”

no way!

There are guys like that, but they’re a bit smaller than that. Instead of answering, I only shrugged once.

“By the way, Her Highness, why are you doing this all along? What’s not good?”

“Yes? no. I’m fine.”

“If you feel uncomfortable, you should tell us as soon as possible. I have time now.”

“Nope. just… … .”

The child’s expression darkened.

Usually when he’s next to me, he’s always smiling, but seeing him so often made me think that his charm might have worked.

“Then, does Rocks have nothing else to do from now on?”

“uh… … . Yes?”

From here, there is nothing I can do. As long as the laser hits properly, you’re safe on top of the barrier.

Coltman and Derek are relaxed, the lasers are fired by Ainim and Hira anyway, and the wires don’t seem particularly dangerous right now.

“Yes.”

I have nothing to do

“Then Rocks go down and rest.”

“Ah, but taking a break… … .”

“Go down and rest, Rocks.”

It was the cold expression of a child I had never seen before. did something wrong Did I do anything to upset you?

“Hey, Your Highness. what am i… … .”

“Maria.”

“Yes.”

“What.”

swish

Maria came up to me in an instant and tripped me over my leg.

I couldn’t help but walk away from the command center while being held by Maria.

Holding a princess at this age… … I thought it was, but the direction was the other way around. Head turned to the floor. this is right?

“Don’t let me leave the barracks until tomorrow.”

“All right.”

“Your Highness, but forcing you to… … .”

“I’ll talk to you later, Hira.”

The last time I heard such a story coming and going. I couldn’t quite figure out what it was. Do you want to throw a surprise party?

“Can I leave Her Highness alone?”

“Isn’t Mage Derek by your side now? I am also human, so I eat and sleep. It is mainly when the safety of Her Highness is secured.”

“Oh yeah.”

“Unlike anyone else.”

There’s no point in resisting. I had no choice but to come down the barrier while being quietly embraced by Maria.

“… … what.”

He hurriedly returned to the barracks.

The students who were of the water attribute had not come down from the barrier yet, so the empty barracks were silent.

Maria, who was sitting on Broman’s bed across from me, just stared blankly at me.

“What are you doing here?”

“Get some rest.”

“I just woke up after a good night’s sleep, what do I do when I rest? It’s better to help the weaklings… … .”

“Sir Rockstryn.”

Afterwards, Maria let out a small sigh and continued. There was a strange sadness in his eyes.

“Your Highness is concerned about your safety.”

“I know that much.”

“More specifically, I was telling you to take some time to reflect on yourself.”

Since I was making a face that I didn’t understand, Maria got up and left the room.

“I will call the ambulance. Even if you run away, you’ll find it right away, so you’d better just stay still.”

“… … yes.”

I don’t think I’m joking, so I kept my butt against the bed. what. scared.

A few minutes later, footsteps echoed through the empty hallway.

“Yeah… … .”

Someone poked their head through the crack in the door. It was a familiar face.

“Oh, pink?”

“Ah, it was Lord Rockstryn.”

It felt uncomfortable since I was in the dull barracks room, but seeing it often, I got used to that hair color.

“I guess I didn’t say anything because I was distracted. My name is Miro. Miro Ramshik.”

“Yes, pink. It’s a lot of trouble.”

“yes. I’m pink… … .”

That’s right, I like the pink one because it sticks to my mouth. It’s good because resignation is fast.

“What is it?”

The ambulance team should be in the place where the injured are treated at the outpost, but what has happened to this point?

“I came because Maria said there would be someone sick here.”

“Is there anyone here but me? They are all on the wall.”

“that is… … Perhaps he wasn’t referring to Lord Rockstryn.”

“Why me?”

“Would you like to lie down for a moment?”

I obediently laid down on my bed for a long time. It’s only for a moment, but I was also exposed to the magic core, so there’s nothing wrong with receiving the healing magic.

But when I lay down and looked at it, it looked like cotton candy at first glance. Maybe it’s because the rolls are rolled up so big.

“Wouldn’t it be better to tie it behind your hair?”

“Well… … . it’s okay. That might be better.”

“Do you have such strange tastes? I do not know?”

“Well, it’s not like that. First of all, there is something Maria-sama told me to convey.”

“What?”

Pinky’s hand glowed blue.

The warm energy flowed from the hand placed on his chest, and his body naturally felt relaxed. Let’s keep our sober mind this time… … .

“He tried to sleep with a handkerchief in his mouth, so His Highness took it out for a while.”

“… … ah.”

“I heard him talking in his sleep for a while, but he said it wasn’t worth listening to.”

Was it like that

since when I couldn’t sleep properly if someone was around.

Because there were several times when I woke up and vaguely noticed that my mouth was muttering.

“You’ve heard of it too.”

“yes. I heard you.”

When severely frostbitten.

There was no case, so I didn’t pay attention to it. I was asleep at that time too, so my mouth must have been sloppy.

“I thought it was a random word, but when I asked my senior later, he said it wasn’t.”

“then?”

“You will say what is in your heart.”

It was a daily routine for the ambulance team.

There are cases where the emergency team is called for even minor injuries, so I often listen to them while treating them.

“They say it’s better to get used to it because there’s usually a lot of vulgar words, but Lord Rockstryn wasn’t like that.”

“What did you say?”

“that is.”

Pinkie hesitated a little, then spoke in a low voice.

“… … I want to die.”

i said that

I can understand why it was forced down.

“I think you said you wanted to die at least 30 times.”

“I see.”

“there… … ?”

“I’ll borrow some.”

“Ah, yes. Use whatever you like.”

I grabbed a handful of hair that was dancing next to me and put it in my mouth. It didn’t taste like cotton candy.

It was sober.
