~ Part 2 ~

Read at translatedino.blogspot.com

It suddenly appeared on the battlefield, a s.h.i.+p running on land. One part of the army comprising of imps and ghouls as well as the wight kings changed their target over there. As a result, the heavy cruiser that had just gone through renovation received an onrush of enemy troops crawling toward it.
No, the renovation had not been completed yet. For the time being, they only connected the shaft to the prime mover so that it could run on the ground. Because the outer wall surface which became ragged due to rust and aged deterioration was almost untouched, Kuremori the renovation supervisor screamed.

“Go–Gofunkawahara! Do something! At this rate it will be instantly destroyed!”
“And, as it was said, all the combat personnel who can move will sortie! Umm, 『Take your battle stations』!”

While looking at the terms in Kogane’s memos, Gofunkawahara shouted to the wars.h.i.+p’s radio.



It was Kensaki who jumped out first and foremost. Straddling the back of Was.h.i.+o, she cut into the army of imps trying to board from the sky. The goblins attached to the gun turrets on the deck were carrying out covering fire with machine guns. Their boss’ seat had completely been transferred to Gofunkawahara now, they were very helpful as excellent laborers, however, as there wasn’t much margin with the ammunition, they couldn’t afford to waste it.
The orc Ok.u.mura and the wild ogre Zeku, Kagoi, Uozumi, Kinogasa and the others as well jumped to the deck one after another. For the ghouls that were trying to climb the outer walls, Shokuzura politely caught them one by one.

“This, is it better if I also move?”

Akai, who had been polis.h.i.+ng her nails uninterestedly, murmured such a thing. Gofunkawahara scratched his head.

“Is it okay? Well, if you go out, we’ll be saved. We can not take down the humongous wight kings.”
“Fu~n. Well, once I feel like it, I will do it.”
“Ah, Asuka-chan!”

While saying so, Akai left the bridge. Sak.u.ma also hurriedly followed after her.
In the vicinity where the appearance of the two people had disappeared, Inugami who was sitting in the corner slowly rose up. While keeping her hands in the pockets of her skirt, she also tried to leave the bridge. Gofunkawahara glanced over there and called her to stop.

“Ah, Inugami.”
“Ah?”

Apparently, her temper seemed to be considerably bad, the delinquent girl Inugami Hibiki faced this direction with intimidation.
However, as Gofunkawahara was friends with the «Akai Chankonabe» ever since the time they were still middle school students, he wouldn’t falter against such a thing.

“The changing room is right at the end (of the corridor) when you go down.”
“It’s an unnecessary care.”

While Inugami said so as if spitting it out, she properly went to the changing room.

“Gofunkawahara, I can see something interesting.”

Nekomiya who was sitting on the bridge said such a thing while tracing her prided whiskers.

“Something interesting?”
“It’s the one-on-one fight of Utsurogi group and Red Wing. Revenge Match, that kind of atmosphere?”

Turning his telescope to the point she pointed to, he could certainly confirm that Kyousuke and the red winged devil were glaring at each other. For Kyousuke, his whole body was covered in a blue translucent film. That would be H

imemizu. Although he could not find Akira’s figure this time, they apparently intended to challenge him in the combined state.
How are they planning to fight against an opponent that even Full Cross couldn’t compete against?Gofunkawahara was wondering such questions, however, from Kyousuke’s appearance, he couldn’t sense any feeling of uneasiness at all.

But if I have to say that there is something bothering me.

“Nekomiya, I don’t think I would call that a one-on-one fight.”
“Ahh, I see. Since it’s two-on-one, isn’t it?”

On the deck, Sak.u.ma was knocking down the swarming imps all at once with her magic.

“Your Highness, are you safe?”

Slaying imps and ghouls along the way, the knights rushed toward Selena. Following after them, Hakuba and Akira also finally managed to reached her. Selena in a dress, while tightly holding to her spear, desperately nodded. The knights who were her escorts seemed to have injuries covering their whole bodies.
A considerable number of enemy forces was pouring in the fortress line. It was already no longer a situation that you could say that the inside was safe.

Hakuba started indiscriminately putting on recovery magic on the knights who was injured in high spirit. Meanwhile, Akira confirmed the surroundings. There’s no signs of the enemy.

“Th–that. Utsurogi-san and Rin-san…?”
“The two of them are fighting.”

When Selena’s question was answered briefly, Selena hugged her long spear tightly.

“Is, that so…”

Could it be that she also is lamenting her own powerlessness? Akira thought so as he watched Selena’s brooding expression.

“Let’s move for the moment. While protecting Her Highness Princess, we should go to the roof top for now. Hakuba-dono and Akira-dono also, could you please cooperate with us?”
“Of course. Since Selena-san is a transfer student.”
“Tu–rans … fer?”

Hakuba said some good things in response to the words of the knight.

In accordance to the words the knight most likely to be oldest, they all started moving. Hakuba was shrewd, putting Selena on his back. On the way to the roof, Akira asked Selena like this.

“Princess Selenade, I have one question to ask in expectation of your knowledge.”
“Ah, yes. What is it?”
“Kyousuke now has combine with Himemizu in the compressed state. From your point of view, do you think that they have enough power to go against that red winged devil?”

Selena put a hand on her lips and began thinking with a serious look. Even while being careful about answering, she said clearly.

“Speaking from the conclusion, perhaps, they can do it.”
“Ohh.”

A small joyful sound leaked out from the mouth of Hakuba.

“The most troublesome thing about Red Wing as an opponent is that robust armor. I think the person himself is probably weak against heat and light, but that armor has completely offset that weakness. So, there are two ways you can go about breaking that one.”

While Selena was straddling Hakuba, she raised up two fingers. The knights also was listening to the words of Her Highness Princess who was familiar with monster knowledge.

“Whether you pull off the armor and attack with magic, or you simply overpower him in physical strength.”
“Is it the later that Kyousuke and the other can take?”
“No, from the conclusion, they should be able to take both.” [Notes]

As she spoke those surprising words, everyone was going out to the roof of the fortress line.
The enemies on the battlefield had already been reduced in number quite a lot. That was also because of the fact that the majority of them had already penetrated into the fortress line.

And in the middle of the reddish wasteland, the were the figures of Kyousuke and Red Wing glaring at each other.

“The problem is how long Utsurogi-san’s skeleton can withstand Rin-san in the compressed state.”
“The person himself said that he will likely not be able to go on for a long time.”
“That’s right, is not it…”

Turning their line of sight a little, the enemy force remaining on the ground was heading toward the heavy cruiser, and the human force was taking a formation following after them. By making a counter attack along with the 2nd year cla.s.s 4 Demon King Army in a pincer movement, most of that fighting force would be destroyed. The battle of Carol which also had 2 Red Wings as her opponents was continuing. Ryuzaki was sweeping away the straggling imps and ghouls from the sky.
If they cleared up the battlefield, the only thing remaining would be sweeping inside the fortress line. Then, if all the war potential was to be put out on the job, that wouldn’t take too long. The battle was heading for convergence.

“But Utsurogi-san and the others can win, right?”
“Ahh, I think so too.”
“Then, I’ll believe in it.”

Selena nodded and kept watching the decisive battle of Kyousuke and the others that was to going to start from now.
