147 Episode 147: "Ambush and Cheat Force Difference by Invisible Party Members".txt

What the hell is that? What the hell is that?

The girl held the mask and closed the door of the mansion behind her back.

She locked the door and then activated the 'lock' magic that was planted in the door. This mansion is a special place prepared for trading. We have traps ready for intruders.

"You, too, will kill anyone who comes in. You'll do it.

"...... Yes,

The masked girl - Vale gives an order to the two soldiers who were hiding in the hall of the western house. In addition, she has them change their equipment as well.

The boy in the front and the noble girl are using a strange technique. We need to fortify our defenses.

Our weapons must be made stronger. Vale orders the soldier to equip an axe that was hanging on the wall and a shield as big as the soldier's height - the 'Great Shield'.

''Now we also need to prepare the ...... defensive demons.

Vale arranges the jars in the hallway. Eight in total. Six of them contain gold coins.

It's already known that this is a place for 'trading'. They'll expect the gold to move, too. If there's a jar, they'll want to break it or look in it. That's human nature.

That's why I set a trap.

Of the eight pots, six were dummies with gold coins in them. The last two were dummies.

If you break them or look into them - the traps are designed to make the monsters jump out of them.

Finally, the girl opened the door leading to the back room and then touched the doorknob.

When she activated her 'skill', ice would stick to the doorknob. Trying not to touch it, the girl carefully closed the door.

This was the second to last trump card. It doesn't last very long, but if you touch it, you can disable them completely.

'Totally ...... why are those guys such a pain in the ass?

Can I help you?　Mr. "Vale

In the innermost room of the mansion, the Baroness Lalambell was waiting for her.

She is smiling carefree, oblivious to my attention. I don't think she had any idea what was going on outside.

I've been helping "Vale" with his work for a while now, and I haven't made a single mistake. There was not a single mistake. That's why I'm completely at ease. He rifles through the clothes of the male nobleman he knocked unconscious and pulls out a golden item. He thinks he can erase all memories of this place.

The brazenness of this makes me angry. The reason I'm angry is because of the mysterious skill used by the blue-haired nobleman. The mask of the veil──even the psychological mask behind it is now disabled. I can't help but want to yell at Lalambell in front of me.

'The deal is off.'

...... Is there something wrong?

'Didn't you hear me?　When I say abort, I mean abort!

'The Veil' shouted at Larambell.

'I'm sorry, too!'

Larambell hurriedly moved away from the veil as if he had been pressed against a burnt stone.

'So, but I'm your collaborator. You can at least tell me what happened at .......

I'm going to kill those people out there.

The Veil spat.

'They refused to 'deal' with us. I tried to keep them from talking, but they resisted, and my men were knocked down. It's your fault for bringing them in here!　Lalambell!

Dear Claudia: ......

'Who the hell is Claudia?　Don't be silly!

'Vale,' he shouted.

'Don't lump me in with those hypocrites!　I serve The One!　They are nothing more than hypocrites being used by "You-Know-Who", such as Claudia. What a 'Princess of Charity'. Let me do the dirty work and ...... myself do the good deeds out in the open, you ...... scum.

Hee!

Lalambell cowered with his head in his hands.

He doesn't like the sight of her, and 'Vale' stomps on the floor.

We have decided what we are going to do now. The blue-haired aristocratic girl and the mysterious boy, the other little - I don't know if it was a boy or a girl - are to be eliminated.

This Western-style house is a two-hour walk from Ilgafa. In the daytime it would be easy to return. But now it's nighttime. I've also told them there are intruder-proof hatches in the surrounding woods. Besides, they want to know the identity of The Veil. Maybe they'll try to get into the Western-style house.

We've set up traps along this route.

The problem is, they'll get through.

There's no way they made it this far unscathed, but we can't be too careful.

This is the innermost part of the Western-style house that was prepared for the "deal". And it's also an escape route.

The "transference technique"... will it still take some time?

On the floor of the room is a magic circle tinged with light. At the center of it is an amulet with a crystal.

It's a sacred artifact found in a certain place. You can use the Transfer Magic Circle to connect distant locations.

You're going to be able to use it to help you get to your destination. But that one has been transferred once, and it will take several hours to recharge it. It will take a few hours to recharge it.

It's really the last thing we need to do to open the ...... transfer gate to the other location. It really needs to be an emergency .......

It really is the last trump card.

In case this pavilion falls and my life is in danger.

"La Rambelle.

Okay.

Your toys still work, don't they?

I'm going to move it. I'm going to move it!

Baroness Lalambell embraced the 'stone gargoyle' that was placed in the corner of the room.

This one is also custom made. Unlike the one I sent to Ilgafa, it has four arms. On each of them, he grabbed a custom-made weapon. It's supposed to work on Larambell's orders, so that should buy us some time.

'You've done all you can. The rest can be found at .......

'Veil' clenched his fist (fist) as if to confirm his skills.

A grain of ice stuck to his fingertips.

'Let's hope I never get a chance to use this skill.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. If that guy hadn't sent out a request to defeat a gargoyle and gain popularity, he would have had more strength .......

But wasn't that part of your plan to flush out the power-seeking nobility?

I know that!

Vale exclaimed.

Her job is to offer 'deals' to nobles who seek power. She has been successful at it so far.

Nobles have a lot to lose.

Territory, status, honor, and greed. Besides, they have a strong desire to rival other nobles. They are willing to buy magical weapons and skills at a price we demand. That's how they've succeeded so far.

There isn't a single person 'left' who has complained. And yet, .......

'La Rambelle!'

Yes, sir!

'Watch the door!　You can do that much without being told!

Hee!

And shut up!　If you didn't hear their footsteps, it's your fault!

────

Larambell presses his mouth down.

The Veil listens carefully. The sound of this Western-style house is very clear.

It's an old Western-style house that was left in an abandoned village, although it was repaired for the purpose of "trading".

A draft can come in, and the second floor leaks. That's why we only use the first floor for business. That's why we can concentrate our forces.

This room is at the far end of the mansion. The only entrance is the door in front of it. Behind it is a thick brick wall.

"Come on, come on. Mysteries. I'll kill you in your rags!

Well, then, feel free to go ahead and call it a "building strike.

Boom.

A large hole was made in the wall behind "The Veil".

On the other side of it were the intruders she had feared.

There was a mysterious boy, a blue-haired noble girl, and a small warrior who was not sure if she was a boy or a girl.

──────────────────── ...

From Nagi's point of view.

I've listened to every word.

I was going to say, "I'm sorry, but I don't think he'll get it. He doesn't seem to be the kind of person who can get a joke (story) like that.

'You know what room you're in when you're talking that loud: ......

Absolutely. You continue to be a relentless fighter.

Behind me, Letitia is laughing.

"Is that what my 'Dignity Suppression (Elegant Downer) LV1' is for?

It makes it easier to bring out your true feelings ......, which means you won't be able to stop talking?

Next to him, Cutlass clapped his hands, as if he had noticed something.

I'm not going to be able to get my true feelings out of my head. I can't even keep my voice down. ...... That's what Aruji thought, wasn't it?

I wasn't sure about that.

So we walked around the Western-style building, looking for a place where we could hear voices.

The rest was easy. With my 'architectural bang', I lightly smashed the wall and broke it down.

As long as I could match the 'Veil' ranting, I was able to break the bricks without being noticed.

After that, all I had to do was hide in the next room. With my High-Speed Analysis, I can search for the person on the other side of the wall. I can at least tell if 'Vale' and Baroness Lalambell are in a position to attack us or not.

I really wanted to fly a brick to take them both down, but it won't work that well.

Well, I don't have the option of going in front of the house of a guy who seems to have a cheat item.

'I think we're being treated pretty badly. If you let them transfer to a place like this without permission and refuse to do business with them, they're going to 'kill' you.

I turned to 'Veil' and Baroness Laramber, and told her.

The magic sword Reggie has already been pulled out. Letitia and Cutlass are both in combat readiness.

The ones in the room are 'Veil', Baroness Lalambell, and two gargoyles.

The gargoyles that appeared in the town were these guys' pawns, after all.

That's why neither the gatekeepers nor the guards saw the gargoyles entering. With shifting magic, it's easy to let them enter without being noticed.

So, the magic circle written on the floor is a transposition technique, and the one at the center of it is called 'Sacred Artifacts'?

...... Either way, they're not the enemy of a leveled-up master.

'I'm not that much of a cheat. Leggy.

"Hmm. Well, let's see now.

Reggie whispered in my ear, still in his magic sword form.

After the battle just now, my "Jusui Kenjutsu" became level 2.

And when I blew up the gargoyles in Ilgafa town, it looks like my level in Delayed Martial Arts also went up.

Reggie was right, this one was pretty cheesy. She would be able to beat a gargoyle, but the problem is the 'Veil'.

I've seen her use ice magic. But I don't think that's all she does. There's something she has that we don't know about.

The easiest thing for us to do is to buy ourselves some time and wait for reinforcements to arrive, but... but they have transferable magic.

If they haven't escaped yet, that means they're limited in their use, or maybe it's for another reason. Either way, we don't have a lot of time to waste.

Alright. Status report is complete.

What the hell do you think you're doing?　Kill him!　Lalambell!

Yes, sir. Move it, gargoyle!

The Veil points at us and Baroness Lalambell screams.

But we had to do this first. We heard them. We've already taken precautions.

Letitia!

Hi! I'm Letitia-Milfe!

The last episode of "Forced Civility (Manners Geass)".

Leticia bows her head so vigorously that she almost touches the ground.

The Vale, the gargoyle and Baroness Lalambert saw that and bowed their heads in the same way.

Was.

Snap.

Baroness Lalambell, who had slammed her head vigorously into the back of the gargoyle in front of her, fell down.

Her eyes are white, and she's completely unconscious.

Incapacitation successful.

An opponent who has used the Forced Civility (Manners Geas) must be greeted in the same way as Letitia. Naturally, if you bow your head vigorously in a crowded state, you'll collide with them without question.

A flesh-and-blood Baroness Lalambell could bow more quickly than a gargoyle made of stone. It was a tragedy created by that time difference.

'...... Um, Nagi,'

What is it?　Letitia.

Didn't you say that my skills are 'Ordinary Skill' and 'Special Skill'?

Yes.

This is just a 'normal move'?

Because I just let them say hello.

But ...... for example, if you used this skill against a dense army with weapons ......?

Well.

Well, it's .......

Well, it's ......

""Well?"

We nodded our heads in unison.

If a densely packed enemy army, all of us with our weapons in hand, bowed vigorously to ...... the weapons of the person in front of us and slammed into ............ .......

I'm getting scared when I think about .......

'But ...... I'm sorry. That's it for me, .......

Letitia is sitting on the floor with a flop.

After a break from the game against the gargoyles, Leticia has used 'Forced Civility (Manners Gears)' three times. It's also a way to run out of magic power.

''Letitia takes a break and we'll take care of the rest.

Yes, sir!

I held my magic sword Leggy and Cutlass held his shield.

The two gargoyles are still moving. They surrounded the fallen Baroness Lalambell and anxiously asked, ''Gagya? "Gah-gah-gah! I'm screaming. They're beating each other up like they're trying to lay the blame on each other.

'What are you doing?　They're the ones who defeated your master, though!

The Veil pointed at us.

"Kill them if you can!　To have 'that man' identify the bodies of these guys!

There was a giggle and a sound of creaking stone, and two gargoyles looked at us.

Well, they would.

'...... Reggie, is it safe to use level 2?'

"How many times has my Lord struck out?

Sixteen times.

'Then it's no problem. Let's do it!

Yes, sir!

I grab the magic sword Leggy and step forward.

You can destroy the body of a "stone gargoyle" by accumulating roughly five times (・・・・・・・). It's okay.

''Cutlass, stop the 'Veil'!　I will crush these guys!

Yes, sir!

Cutlass follows behind me as I run out.

The Veil is reaching for a silver amulet on the floor. A gargoyle approaches to protect her.

He measures the distance and pacing and says ....... I think I can swing my sword around here.

'Activate!　"Delayed Combat (Delayed Arts) Lv 2"!　One half (one half)!

I activated my leveled-up 'Delayed Combat'.

The gigantic Magic Sword Reggie bit into the first gargoyle's torso.

''Ggaaaaaaah!

The power is the equivalent of eight strikes in the air (...). It's enough. Reggie's black sword blade bit into the gargoyle's torso and, with a snap, cut off the gargoyle. The gargoyle, whose upper and lower body was split apart, fell down as it was. I'm floundering, but I can't move anymore.

'Lord!　Another one coming up on the left!　You can keep turning around!

'Thank you!　My love sword!

"Greatest name in the world: ────!　I am happy for you, Lord!

Same here.

There's no other sword that can tell you how to get to your target in time, Reggie.

I keep the momentum of my sword swinging and half-turn my body. The other gargoyle is right in front of me. There's no time to strike out. My swordsmanship level is three in "Gifted Swordsmanship" and "Juju Sui Kenjutsu" combined. I'm not sure I have the skills to cut up a gargoyle. That's why I'm going to rely on Leggy and his cheat skills.

"Activate!

I shout as I raise my magic sword.

''Delayed Combat Lv 2!　One-half left!

Dohgong.

The magic sword Reggie cut up the gargoyle's right leg to the groin and then to the shoulder.

Goton.

The gargoyle with dismembered limbs fell to the floor and stopped moving.

'Leggy?　Are you okay?

"Of course!　Because of the split in power, the burden of the sword is conversely less!

You see, the sword trembled as the demon sword leggy trembled.

It's also a good idea to have a good time with this, because it eliminates the gap after the Lord's attack.

Did you ever worry about that?

"Well?

Reggie, in his demon sword state, shook his sword as if he was laughing.

Was it rooted in the fact that you couldn't join me, Leticia, and Cutlass' "sah" earlier, ......?

Regardless of that, the ability of the level 2 Delayed Martial Arts is...

Delayed Combat (Delayed Arts), LV2

You can accumulate the attack power of your sword for the amount you swing it, pretending that it's not swinging.

When you release it, the attack power will be increased by the amount of swinging. The number of times you strike out, the attack range is increased.

At level 2, it is now possible to split an attack into two separate strikes.

(For example, if you strike out 20 times, you can unleash (10 strikes + area of attack) for two strikes.

Okay, Cutlass. I'll stop him.

Yes, sir!

Cutlass steps forward from behind me as my stance collapses.

Ahead of our vision, the "Veil" stands up. In her hand is a 'crystal amulet' - a 'sacred artifact'. It's an item for shifting magic.

'Alas, it's already too late!　The gates of transition are already open.

The Veil looked at us and smiled.

At the same time, the magic circle written on the floor lit up.

"'The Great One. Come here.

The mouth of "The Veil" spins out the words like a spell.

'Your servant calls for help. Please use your power to avenge our enemies!'

Did you use shifting magic?

And it's not just to get away. This is a call to arms. When you were eavesdropping, what did this guy say to you?　The last thing you want to do is open the transference gate to another location. You're going to summon your master?

You must stop it!

Cutlass readies his shield and starts to run.

But he's still far away. And the 'Veil' is trying to use magic. Ice magic. Cold air floods the room, and an ice sword is born above his head. Three swords. We're out of retarded fighting - what else?

Cutlass, you take the left. I'll go left, I'll go right!

Yes, sir!

We split up on either side. The Veil looks both ways, and decides to go after me. As expected. It was a decision I made before we entered the building. Cutlass doesn't use his skills until the very end. It makes her feel weak (・・・・・・・・). That's because the trump card is in her hands.

The path is paved by me and Reggie.

'It's too late. You scum!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

A magic circle glows at the sound of The Veil's cry.

It's as if something powerful is about to emerge from it...

'The trump card I've been preparing for all this is coming!　I'm going to kill all of you!

The Veil waved its arms.

'Go!　"Icicle Blade!

A sword of ice a few meters long is flying towards us!

Well, I'll tell you what...

Activate.

I activate the other skill that has been leveled up.

''Jusui Kenjutsu (Jusui Sword Art) - LV (Level) 2!

The magic sword Leggy is raised at the flying ice sword...!

shuffling

The black sword blade rolled three ice swords together.

Up until now, he had only been able to catch the enemy's swords. Level 1's rotation rate was roughly a quarter of a revolution.

But that wasn't all this time.

The level 2 'Jiu-Ji Sui Kenjutsu' was twice that - half a rotation.

By flipping it 180 degrees, you can turn the enemy's sword right back.

Therefore, when you use it as a flying sword...

──── What the hell?

The Veil screamed.

Yeah. You'd be surprised. The ice sword that I let loose, spun around, and half-turned.

You can find out more about the fact that you are able to get the most out of this article.

And then──With the same momentum, it flies away.

It's easy to aim and bounce off the enemy, but that seems impossible.

The sword only grazed the top of the 'Veil's head. But that's enough. He had the sword in his hand and was about to intercept Cutlass. And then he stopped. It was a distraction.

We have a clear path. Cutlass!　Call Fynn!

"By order of the Prince of Wales!　Show up!　I'm in me: ...... "I'm in me (Fynn)!

"This is the place to be. ────!

A translucent girl emerges from Cutlass's breastplate.

It changes into a gray-haired girl under the spell of Cutlass. She's wearing - because that's the image she had when she was at home, she's wearing her nightgown.

This is our trump card.

I turn my attention to me and Leticia, and reduce my guard against Cutlass. Then, when Cutlass is close enough, I call out Fynn.

Reggie, White, and Fynn aren't usually seen, but they're all there. They're always there to lend a helping hand.

As soon as the enemy doesn't notice this gap in strength, the game is already over.

''Arujidono's enemies are destroyed!　(It is) (is) ──────!!!

Cutlass grabs Fynn's arm and throws his alter ego off.

It's a combination of the same person, more breathtaking than the twins, more than the twins.

The Veil, which had rolled away from the "Ice Sword" and was even more focused on Cutlass, was slow to notice Fynn's presence.

It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on it.

''Activate 'Immediate Sacred Object Seizure [Artifact Ruler]!

Fynn's voice echoed through the back room of the Western-style building.

Oooh-ooh-ooh!

But the ground still hasn't stopped trembling.

"Olocanal - Monoyo...

With a voice, a black arm with a claw emerges from the magic circle.

''Ha!　I don't know what you've done, but it's over!　The most powerful messenger given to me by "The One" is here...!

I see. ...... demonic messenger. I've seen him, so I'm done. Fynn, pause the transition.

"Yes, sir.

'Wagga al-Jinoteki ......................... Ano──── Cho?'

The light disappeared from the magic circle.

The strong-looking arm that was about to emerge, sloppily, retracted into the magic circle.

That was all.

'Huh?　Huh?　Yeah, yeah?

Now it's quiet.

The 'Veil' that sits down is surrounded by me, Cutlass, and Fynn, who appeared with the 'Armor of Balluar' ability.

The Amulet for Transfiguration was controlled by Fynn with the 'Immediate Sacred Instrumental Grip, Artifact Ruler'. In case you're wondering, it seems that it can be resisted depending on the level of the original user, but this 'Veil' didn't seem to have much power.

So, as he said, this guy wasn't from the royal family ......?

Now let's hear some stories. The Vale.

I said.

"Your purpose. Whoever is behind this. "and your relationship with the royal family. "You were going to kill us, no questions asked. Can't I at least try to understand that?
