I understand. We'll take care of the rest.

Thank you. I'm tired, so I'll just roll over.










　--Below the castle. In front of the castle gate.

　There was a girl with a hood and a cantera in her hand.
　At her waist is a sword - a slim stabbing sword.
　The coat she wore was mass-produced, but the clothes she wore were the white dress of a nobleman.

　She was standing in front of the carriage, just waiting for something.

"Thank you for your patience, Princess Lilac.

　The person who appeared was a tall young man.
　He had short cherry-red hair and dark skin. He had a useless sword at his waist, and the appearance of a well groomed prince.

"No. Not at all, sir. I'm just a little excited that you're going out so late at night.
That's good to know.
But...

　There was more to their meeting than that, however, for the man he had brought with him.

"Oh, Your Highness. I'm sorry. I heard that the prince insisted on going out.
No way. That ...... I was also very interested in. Your father has given me permission to accompany the prince.
"I see, .......

　Lilac smiled softly at the man who was illuminated by the cantera.
　It was the first time for her to go out this late at night, and she was accompanied by a man close to her age, so she thought she was in a really comfortable tension. Her smile leaves no doubt about it.

　The man let out a small sigh, ran his hand over his bald head, and shook his head.

But King's Landing is a bit dicey right now. It's a little ...... odd that the guards are only posted at a distance.
"Haha. Mr. Elfrid is a worrier. He's always worried about me like this.
"Hmm. But I understand how you feel. I was often scolded by adults when I was a child.
Does that mean you're treating me like a child?

　Hahahahaha.
　I'm sure you'll be happy to know that the princess and prince are having a great time.

　Elfrid frowned to himself.
　I can't let you go out there now. After all, the assassins he had released had not reported in.
　Throwing the princess, let alone the prince, into the night when they are most active is outrageous. It's too dangerous.

　Besides, there are things we don't want the Prince to find out.

　Elfrid is lost.
　What should we do here?
　Even if he tried to stop him, the prince would leave Elfrid to go play on his own. That's what he did last time and that's what he's always done.

　What Elfriede hadn't expected was the help he received from an unexpected source.

"Master Elfrid. I'm looking forward to seeing you and the prince together, but if you're worried about the prince and want to come with me, that's fine with me.
"Lilac, are you sure you want to go to ......?
Yes!　Oh. Prince Barrier Reef, please don't give me that look.
I don't mind. I'm used to dealing with children.

　I'm used to dealing with children. I can still manage to tell him or control where he goes.

"Then .......

　Nodding, Elfrid signaled to the guards he was leading and ordered them to surround the carriage.

I'll join you.

　And so, before I knew it, we were on board.
　Elfrid, who was seated at the far end of the carriage because the prince wanted to enjoy the view, looked at the princess and the prince, who were huddled together in front of him, with dissatisfaction, and began to be rocked by the moving carriage.


　He was unaware that this was a fast carriage to the execution platform, arranged between Barrier Reef and Lilac, who had learned of Elfrid's guidance.














　--Orba Chamber of Commerce Headquarters.


　I just stared at the battle going on in front of me.

　On one side, he held a huge hatchet. On the other hand, he was holding a cross spear.

　The brave battle was as beautiful as a dance, full of power and splendor that filled his heart with passion.

　A single battle under the stars, with no audience.

　What a waste of time, but at the same time, it was a world completed with blades that made me feel superior to the situation of monopolizing the scene.

　But that's not all.
　I can't even move my own body to my satisfaction, and I can't even help my allies.

　Even so, I can still see it in my eyes, because the fierce battle between these fierce fighters makes my hands sweat.

　Ah...

　I'm angry at myself for growing old.
　My arms are so pathetic I can't even lift a weapon properly.


　I can't run, I can't even stand up.

　If I could only move a little more...

　If I could move just a little bit more... I would like to be there right now, wielding my weapon to the fullest, mingling with the flowers of the dance.

　That feeling burns my heart.

　I gritted my teeth and just stared.

"...... Chairman.

　The words I muttered were drowned out by the sound of blades clashing.

It's frustrating to be helpless, isn't it?

　You can be as determined as she is and turn away from this place immediately.
　Like her, you can turn away from the scene with determination, or you can hold your blade like a swordsman and challenge the oncoming threat.

　I couldn't do either of those things, and I could only let myself go through it.

　I was helplessly angry.







　While holding the spear and pointing the spearhead at Izuna, Prim gently moved her gaze to the side of Izuna.

　She had white hair and white skin. Eyes like red jewels that shine even in the dark of night.
　The fact that Izuna was accompanied by a girl not much taller than Pasta was also a matter of concern, but that was secondary to Prim Lancaster.

　Just when he thought he had finished with Izuna, he used a strange technique.
　The power that seemed to stitch her body together, what kind of weapon was that?

"What are you?
"Yes. I'm Motisuke.
Yeah.

　Mochisuke.

That's a pretty name.
Yes. Named by the master.
Hmm. ...... It's a girl, right?
Yes. This body was made to be a girl.
Yes.

　Mochisuke.
　It's a cute name, but in Izuna's hometown, I thought only boys were named "Sukeh". I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I think it's a good idea.

"What was that thing that stopped my body just now?
It's a magic interference technique. It is possible to execute multiple commands, such as inhibiting the target's behavior, accelerating behavior, and removing restrictions. In the event that you're not sure what you're looking for, you'll be able to find a lot more information on the web.
"Aaaaaaahhhh!
"Aaaaahhhh!

　Both Izuna and Prim held their heads.
　Mochisuke tilted his head.

"Motisuke ......, stop, don't use any more magic, it works on me.
"You ...... are the magic ......!
Master. Prim. No, sir. This is not magic, it's an explanation of a magic interference technique. Because of the order to explain the available magic imprinted on Motisuke's body, and because there is no security lock on this information, Motisuke has revealed the information of the magic interference technique he uses. If you are a master, you can place restrictions on Motisuke's actions and behaviors. Would you like to execute this order and lock the explanation of the magic interference technique?
I don't know about you, but I think you should lock that magic, Izuna!
Shut up!　I'm not stupid, I know what I'm doing!　I'm not an idiot, I know what I'm talking about!
...... will continue the explanation. It can grant buffs and debuffs, and its effects can be increased or decreased depending on the will of the target. If the subject wishes to be interfered with by the technique, the duration of the effect is about 10 to 30 minit, depending on the individual. If it is an individual that resists the interference, the duration of the effect will be about 20 seconds to 1 minute.
"Oh, no, no, no, no!

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　In the event that you're not sure what to do, you may want to check with your doctor.

Confirming the target's intention to attack.

　Mochisuke thought, interrupting his explanation.
　I see, so he was looking for an opportunity to attack us and create an opening.
　That was not the case.

Activate interference technique.

　The text of the technique flashed in Motisuke's eyes.

　Instantly, Prim's movements froze.

"Master, now!

　The amount of time it would take to stop Prim Lancaster, an individual who resisted interference, was about twenty seconds to one minit.
　I looked at Izuna and said, "If only I had that much time," and that was the moment.

"You used that weapon again, what's it called?

　Mochisuke was astonished by the wielding spear.

Why?　At least 20 Seconds can't move...
What's twenty Seconds?
It's a unit of time. Sixty seconds equals one minute. Sixty minites equals one hour. One day passes in 24.

　Prim shouted, waving her spear and looking like she was about to cry.



"Why don't you separate them more clearly!　Why is it 60 or 24? It should be 10 or 100!
Mochisuke doesn't have the authority to do that.
Also, for a fighter like me...　I'm not going to be able to remember that the game time is one second!
"...... why. You're human.
Hey Motisuke. I don't care about units shorter than one tick of game time either. I'm not stupid. I just don't need to remember it. It's true.
Master. Why, Master?

　Mochisuke was trying his best to avoid Prim's spear while having a very unintelligent conversation.
　At any rate. Only one Sekon was able to stop the woman in front of him.

"Technique activated.
"d*mn it!　Son of a b*tc*!
Why does it only work on one second?
I don't know!　Because I'm awesome, man!

　But behind Motisuke's upset, it was Prim who was gritting her teeth.
　Only one Sekon, Motosuke said.
　But Prim understood well how big that one Sekon was.

　If he was deprived of his physical freedom for such a long time, he would not be able to fight Izuna properly.

　--Of course, that didn't mean that Izuna would wait for him.

Sorry, but it's over, Prim!
"Agh!

　I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　Prim continues to avoid the hammer axe and watches for an opportunity.

What's wrong!
How far does her magic reach?
I don't know!　I heard, but that long spell fooled me!
I heard, but that long spell fooled me! - Gosh, even ......'s allies.

　Motisuke had explained every detail properly.

We're not getting anywhere, let's go!
Come on!　I'll crush you!

　We're losing ground.
　The only one who will be at a disadvantage is Prim herself, if she tries to stall.
　The first step to reversing this two-to-one situation is to neutralize the girl.

　Izuna wouldn't allow that.
　But on the other hand, what he's most worried about is that she'll try to kill Motisuke.

　Then...

"Aah!

　Leap. He leaps with his mallet and easily leaps over Izuna with his mallet.
　I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'll do it.
I'm not sure what to do.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm not going to let you do that!
That's right!

　The best way to create an opening is to shake the most vulnerable spot.
　The hammer axe will not move in time. Then Izuna will use her left fist.

　My eyes are getting used to it. The left fist is a little slower than usual, but it's a dead end.



Kuro Hawk Karate: Spiral Strike.




Interference technique activated.






　For a moment, Prim didn't understand what was happening.
　Prim couldn't understand what was happening.


"Geez, ......?
That was beautiful.


　A fist in the abdomen is swung out and blows Prim away.
　There is no evidence that you were stopped or interfered with in any way.

　The only thing is that Izuna's movements suddenly became faster.

　She was unable to respond to the fist that was swung at her.

　Prim fell down helplessly after bouncing through the sea of rubble two or three times.

　I was eaten alive. She used her jumping power, and the blow she received was a deadly one.

　He tried to stand up, clutching the spear with his hands.

"Sorry, but I'm gonna have to end this.
"Ah!

　He fell down in a panic, and the hammer axe of all his strength was swung down.
　It's also a great way to get to know the people in your area.

"What?


I don't like to use it. It's a combination of me and Motosuke. We'll take 'em down.

　The speed of his run. The way he's swinging the hatchet, the way he's reacting to Prim's movements. The speed at which he runs, the way he wields the mallet, the way he reacts to Prim's movements.

　Prim doesn't know that this is the result of applying Mochisuke's interference technique to Izuna.
　But he immediately understood that he was faster.

　--It's not like he can do anything about it now that he understands.

　When he was blown up, he drew his fist back in pursuit.

"Ow!
Oraa!

　Just in the nick of time, Prim interposed the spear between herself and Izuna.

　But...

"That's a foolish move.

　A fist shot out and smashed Prim's spear with such force that it shattered.

　And then.

Kuro Eagle Karate: Spiral Strike

　Even though he had broken through one obstacle, he still managed to strike Prim in the lower throat.

"Ka-ha!

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

　It's not only the speed but also the power of Izuna's hammer axe, which he swung down to finish her off.

"Sorry, Prim. That was strong.

　A burst of sound.

　The impact gushed through the sea of rubble like a rippling wave.

　A tremendous cloud of dust danced in the air. The sound of crushed rubble spilling out lingers in the air.

"Master. The battle is over, thank you for your hard work.

　Mochisuke, who came up behind Izuna, said to him as if relieved.







　But...





"No... That's it. That's what it feels like to hit a cross spear.

　The tip of the mallet axe was still down. Izuna looked at the smoke still rising from the ground and said.

"...... spear?

　Mochisuke muttered.
　The spear was now fragilely shattered and lying some distance away.

　The mallet had collided with something, and was being held back. It was the spear.

　What the hell?


"Are you okay, Prim?
"Ha, ha. You look like crap.
No, no, no, no, no, no. ......


　Voice.
　I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.

　Suddenly, Izuna's fighting spirit blew away the surrounding debris.


"Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey. Really? Then who's the owner of this spear?

　A cloud of dust cleared.

　The shadow that had been holding the fallen Prim in its arms and holding back the spear with its spearhead is revealed.

　He is tall and thin. His golden eyes are fixed not on the spearhead, but on Prim.

Look at me, Hutaa. ！！！！

　I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not, but I'm sure you've heard of it.

"Master .......

　Izuna did not respond to his words.
　But she didn't care, she continued.

　Because this is...

　It's not like I'm going to fight this guy head on.

　Even if it was just the two of us, Motisuke and Izuna...



"Impossible. Zero percent chance of winning. Let's run, Master!
