Chapter 314 – Diversion

“What’s wrong?”

Yataro had rushed into our room of operations with a pale face.

“S-Shion, we have a huge problem! The enemy’s real target is the 31st sector!”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“Don’t ask me and check it with your own eyes!”

Usually Yataro keeps his calm, unless it’s time for his 《Random Creation》, so it’s rare to see him so flustered. It must be a genuine emergency.

I used my smartphone to check the situation in the 301st sector.

――!?

...I see. Yataro is right. The enemy’s real target must be the 301st sector.

“Is something the matter?” Kanon called out to me when she saw me furrowing my eyebrows after confirming the information on the 301st sector.

“The enemy’s target isn’t the 304th or 305th sector, but the 301st.”

“Hmm? Is that so?”

“The enemy’s strategists appear to be quite cunning. I surely hadn’t expected them to fall back into the old style of invading domains at this point in the game.”

“Old style of invading domains?”

“The enemy has apparently sent their strongest twelve people into the 301st sector.”

Coming at us in the old way now that the new rule had just recently been introduced was completely unexpected. I had also looked at the individual strength to some degree, but unconsciously I had based my conjectures on the enemy’s strength in numbers...or rather pretension thereof.

“Because it’s an old method...they’re also well used to it. They have advanced much further in the sector than the large army pushing into the 305th sector.”

“What about the enemy’s strength?”

“B-Rank, close to A-Rank, I’d say.”

Rina, Kotetsu, and the former Demon King leaders are A-Rank in strength. The created subordinates among my leaders like Chloe are B-Rank in strength. The strength of newly created subordinates is across the board but C-Rank and below.

“That means only the leaders can take these guys on, huh?”

Izayoi shivered all over his body upon hearing my words.

“I will. Or am I too lacking in ability?”

“――!? A-Absolutely not...! Ugh...of all people...such unforgivable words...I have to die for this si――”

“Shut up.”

Why is this idiot trying to kill himself all of sudden, when I’m personally going out to fight in order to not waste the lives of my leaders, including Izayoi?

“Not only Izayoi-dono and us...but even you, Shion-sama, are going to head out?”

“Yep.”

“Hmm...in other words, the enemy we’re going to face soon is that much of a formidable foe...or, they’re such outstanding talents that you wish to win them over as kin.”

“I’d like to catch them, if we have the leeway, but...a swift defense has the highest priority right now.”

“Very well. If they are an opponent so formidable...I have one request for you, Shion-sama.”

“Request? Do you want to have a subordinate if we manage to catch one or more? Don’t make me repeat myself over and over again! ! swift defense has the highest priority right now!”

Exhausting my energy before the battle is total nonsense, but I guess I should soon roast him with a fire lance...

As I decided that and started kneading my mana...

“P-Please forgive me. B-But, my wish is about the permission to remove my little sister...Lily from the battle line-up!” Saburou pleaded with a serious expression.

“Just when did Liliel turn into your si...bah, not like that nonsense matters right now.”

“That’s no good! If you give him such vague rebuttals, this criminal will get carried away with his scummy behavior!”

“Ha ha ha! Kanon-tan, you being jealous of your younger sister is quite novel and spicy.”

“...Just go and die.”

――Shut up!

“We’ll leave Liliel behind! Come on, we’re moving out!”

“””Yes!”””

I headed to defend my sector while leading a band of subordinates.
