Oh, Master Olga do you want to continue?

　The real-life situation called out to him in a timid manner.
　The brave Olga shook her head from side to side with unfocused eyes.

(Well, my attack with my vaunted holy sword didn't get through at all, and I was blown away.......)

　If he's going to challenge me further here, he's a very strong mentality, but apparently not.
　I have an image that Gerald-san would be able to hit me with his bare hands.
　Also, the crucial holy sword is bent in a pathetic way.
　........Will that holy sword be fixed before the battle with the Demon King?

So, then!　In this special bout ... no, the duel is won by Aya Sasaki!
　The actual situation declared Sa-san's victory.

''Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!''

　There were cracking cheers from the audience.
　Honestly, I was worried that the Fire Goddess's heroic Olga would lose and cause a riot, but the people of the Fire Nation were normally praising Sa-san's victory.
　Really, as long as you're strong, that's all that matters.
　In a way, it's easy to understand.

'Aya!　You did it!
We won!　Roo-chan!
　Saasan and Lucy are high-fiving Paan.
　Princess Sophia is still stunned.

　Freyae is playing with a black cat (Tsui).
　You're not worried about it at all, are you?
　I'm not sure if you've noticed me," she said, looking at me with her eyes half-closed.

"I'm the one who sees this future.
'Oh, yeah.'
　Well, I wouldn't worry about that.
　Well, I'm about to leave now, and suddenly Freyae grabbed me by the shoulders as hard as she could.

'Wait, my knight. There's something wrong with you.
"?　Odd, what?
　The ring for the martial arts tournament was smashed to pieces by the brave Olga, so the management staff is cleaning up the ring.
　Originally, the awards ceremony and the installation ceremony for the national heroes were supposed to be held in the ring, but since the stage is gone, the announcement is heard that it will be held at Great Keith Castle at a later date.
　The audience was chatting and trying to leave.
　Some of them are just starting to party.
　It's peaceful.
　There was nothing strange about it.

'What's up, Fu-chan?
Princess Sophia. Let's go home.
　Saasan and Lucy also came over.

Hey, Princess. What's going on here...
"d*mn it, I missed it. We missed it!　I'll be out of here soon!
　Mr. Furiae didn't respond to my question, but told us in an impatient tone.
　Me, Lucy and Sa-san looked at each other and tilted our heads.

　The time was about two hours past noon.
　It was still hot outside and the sun was blinding.
　There was a blue sky, not a cloud in the sky.
　Mr. Furiae was about to ask for details about what he was impatient about when he heard


　-- Suddenly, it got darker all around.


'Oh, clouds?'
　Lucy looked up at the sky.
　I looked up with it, and the black shadow entered my field of vision.
　The sun that had been shining on the ground earlier was being blocked by Nanika.

'Hey!　What the hell was that!
It's not a cloud, is it?
Rock...?
Don't be silly. There's no way they'd have a giant rock like that...
　All of the people in the hall pointed at the black shadow in the sky.
　What was it that suddenly appeared in the sky?

Mako!　It's falling towards us!
　Lucy's voice brought me to my senses.
'Lucy, what was that?
I don't know!　It just came out of nowhere!
　That's right, it wasn't there a moment ago.
　But there is definitely something like a huge rock floating right above us now.
　No, if Lucy's words are correct, it's falling this way?

(It's still far away but that's a pretty huge object...)
　It must be several kilometers in diameter.
　Rather than a rock, it looks like an island falling from the air.
　I wonder if it was vasquished by Lauta.

(Makoto!　(Don't be silly, Friae, you should run like you said!
　Mr. Noah?
　What's going on here?
Mako!　We have to get out of here before I can explain.　(This is a group of people who believe in an evil god race...)
　Eir-sama doesn't have the usual spare time in his tone.

　I have a feeling we should act first.
　I made eye contact with the old guardian knight and tried to start moving around Princess Sophia.
　At that time.


　--Hey, you're frightened, maggots.


　The voice from the loudspeaker magic echoed throughout the amphitheater.
　The tone of voice was mousy and different from that of the person who had been playing the game earlier.

''Look!　Takatsuki-kun.
　In the direction Sa-san was pointing, a man wearing a black robe was standing at the spot where the actual person of the play-by-play man had been earlier, holding a loudspeaker magic tool.
　The people around him, including the actual person, are keeping their distance from the suddenly suspicious person.
　''Security knights, we need to seize him quickly!

Who the f*ck are you?
　As soon as I thought that, the knights of the Fire Nation surrounded me.
　Ah, the one who just shouted was the executive knight who was heading to defeat the snake cult together.
　So he was over here.
　The man in black robes who was called by the executive knight twisted his mouth wide with a ny.

''My name is Izak. I am the son of the great leader, Lord Eveleth, and Archbishop of the Order of the Serpent.''
　Oh, I've heard that name before.

'That guy again?　You're a persistent man, Makoto.
'Was it the one in King's Land of the Sun, the one that controlled suicide bombers and demons?　Takatsuki-kun.
Yeah, I'm sure he was behind a lot of things back in the trees, but I'm not the only one.
　You're a hard worker.
　I don't need a hard-working terrorist or anything like that.

Capture them!
　Oh, just as soon as he comes forward, the man from the snake cult is being held captive.
"Ha, let go!
　The man from the snake cult seems to be resisting too, but he is outnumbered and held back.
　What's he doing here?


'By the time you catch me, it's too late!　The comet above you is summoned by our Order of the Serpent through Summoning Magic!　Over the lifetimes of hundreds of slaves!　I took a comet that happened to be passing near this planet and redirected it to the nearest fire country!　In a few moments, the Fire Nation's Royal City will disappear from the continent!
　The man from the snake cult, whose body was already wrapped around a thick rope, shouted with a loudspeaker magic.

(This guy just said something outrageous?)
　Dropping the comet on this royal city?
　Really, is that even possible?　
　As proof that I hadn't misheard them, the crowd, which hadn't felt threatened before, screamed and ran away in unison.
　I can hear the shouting and the screaming and the crying of children in the distance.
　All hell is breaking loose.

'Lead the people out of the city, out of the city!　Summon every wizard from the castle!　All of them, including the off-duty ones!
　General Talisker was giving orders to his men in a loud voice.
　Behind him, someone who looked like the king could be seen taking refuge.

''Brave Lord!　What do we do?
　The old man, the guardian knight, asks with an impatient look on his face.

'I understand!　........What about the brave Lord?
　He responded reliably to my request and finally gave me a worried look.

'Hey, I've got something on my mind and I'm going to have a word with the General. I'll catch up with you later.
What are you talking about?　My knight, we have to run away together!
"Brave Makoto?　I don't think we have time for that...
　Mr. Freyae and Princess Sofia also crowded me.

'Oh well, I'll be fine. I'll see you later.
　I didn't have time to answer questions, so I pushed the two of them to the old guardian knights and urged them to evacuate the hall.
　As expected of a group of the Roses royal family, the knights of the Fire Nation are giving me priority to guide them.
　That one seems to be okay.

(The other thing I'm worried about, though, is Fujiyan...)
　The confusion in the hall still shows no signs of abating, but rather the confusion seems to be spreading throughout the city.
　The huge chunk of rock above King's Landing seems to be slowly moving towards that giant body.

　It's okay, I'm sure.
　If Fujiyan would have sensed something unusual, he would have immediately gathered information and taken action.
　I'll believe that he has managed to escape.
　I made sure that the guardian knight's old man's back disappeared and headed in the direction where General Talisker was.

'Hey, hey, Takatsuki-kun. What's bothering you?
Makoto, are you sure you don't want to run away?
　Saasan and Lucy looked at me from both sides.
　I said.

How come they didn't get away?
　I wanted you all to evacuate with your old guardian knight...?

Well, because you're going to stay.
I'll stay with you if you're staying, Makoto.
You know what?
　I'm sure it makes you happy to hear that.
　I almost grinned, so I used my 'Meikyomisui' skill to maintain my expression.

''And if it comes down to it, Takatsuki-kun and I will run with Roo-chan in my arms!　I got it!
'Oh, that's definitely a good idea,'
　With Sa-san's leg strength, he could get out of the royal capital in a flash.
　I tried it once a long time ago and it was amazingly fast.
　The ride was the worst ride I've ever been carried on, though....
　It was more like a roller coaster without any safety devices.

'Phew, that's sweet, Aya!　I've learned to use space transfer (teleportation) after training in hell with my mom!
What?　Are you sure?
Lu-chan, you're amazing!
　Hey, I'm not listening to you!
　It's a happy miscalculation.
　If there's a teleportation, it only takes a second to escape.

(..........hmmm?)
　But then I suddenly realized.
　I've known Lucy for a long time.
　If she really had mastered spatial transference (teleportation), she would have bragged about it more with a smirk on her face.

'Lucy, by the way, how long does it take you to chant Spatial Transfer (teleportation)?'

　I knew it.

What's your success rate, by the way?
.........................10%?
Luu-chan...
　It was returned in a great whisper.
　Sa-san got a look of shawnee.

'Well, I figured it would be something like that. Just keep chanting. Basically, let's plan to escape with Sa-san holding you.
　I got it!　And Sa-san clenched her fists.
　Lucy began chanting awkwardly.

　By the way, it seems that Lucy's mother, Rosalie-san, can fly at least to the next country without chanting.
　Red Lotus Witch-sama, a real monster.
　I hope Lucy will be able to do the same soon.
　But Rosalie is over 100 years old.
　I probably won't be alive when Lucy is 100 years old.

　When I think about that...
Shoot!
　Somewhere, a call went up.

　I looked up at the sky above and saw several rays of light running towards the giant rock in the sky.
　Perhaps it was an attack spell fired at the comet by a wizard from the Fire Nation.
　Or it could be a magic weapon for anti-magic use.

''That wasn't a hit, was it?''
No, it hardly even arrived.
You two have great eyesight...
　It seems that Sa-san and Lucy can even see the trajectory of the magic clearly.

　I used the 'clairvoyance' skill, though.
　It's too far away to see.
　Why do the girls in my party have such high specs?


''Isn't this the new State Certified Heroic Master and the Water Country's Heroic Mako-sama?''
I'm sorry to hear about this.
　The one who saw me and came over was an executive knight.　

''Yes, I didn't expect this to happen........ If it's only a swarm of demons, the royal capital won't freak out no matter how many tens of thousands of them come, but this kind of magic is unprecedented in the past.......
'You've thought of dropping the comet, the enemy has thought of it. Is there likely to be a way to prevent it?
　I'm sure the magic that has been unleashed incessantly since a while ago is the means to prevent it.
　And it seems to be less effective.

The best thing to do is to get out of the house.　
Well, would you take me to see General Talisker?　I wanted to talk to you about something.
A general, sir, but.....
　In case you're a brave man of the Water Country (Roses), would it have been difficult to get to the chief of another country's military in an emergency?
　But I'd like to say no, just in case.

"Alright, brave sir. Please come this way.
　It seemed to be troubling, but fortunately, the executive knight's people responded to our request.


　◇

　The place I was taken to was a section of the amphitheater.
　It was like a military command center.

　A unit that gives orders for the evacuation of the people of King's Landing.
　The unit that is drawing up a plan to deal with the approaching comet.
　The troops conveying information to the people who had not yet grasped the situation.
　There is also a unit that cares for the injured caused by the chaos.

　And at the center of it all is General Talisker.
　He has a grim face as he listens to the reports of each unit.
　Next to him, I can see the brave Olga, who is nodding off.
　Is she okay?
　An executive knight approached the general and gave him an earful.
　The general looked at us and looked at us suspiciously for a moment, but instead of ignoring us, he came towards us.


''I'm sorry, the situation has come to this point in the venerable arena of deciding on a new national hero...''
　General Talisker was the first to apologize for the opening.

But we don't have time for idle talk now. We'll take care of the crisis in the Fire Nation, so you guys should quickly evacuate. Aya-dono Sasaki is only in the state of having earned the right to become the Fire Nation's hero, so there is no need for you to remain here.
　A knight from the nearby Fire Nation made a hand gesture to lead us away.
　It seems to mean that those from other countries should flee immediately.
　That in itself would be a normal response.

　At that time, a character suddenly floated in the air.


'Do you want to save the Fire Nation (Great Keith) from danger and sell your debt to the Fire Nation (Great Keith)?'

　Yes, sir.
　No.


"RPG player" skills!
　Language!
　Have you been having a bad day lately?　This girl (skill).

(Well, I guess you speak for me.)
　Does that mean I'm losing my character?
　No, no, no, it's not.

(Is it true~?)
　Master Noah, are you listening to me?
　Noah, you're distracting me.
　I turned to face the general.

"General, may I help you take care of that thing in the sky?
　I pointed to the comet looming from the sky and told him of our requirements.

'....any way?
　Hearing my words, the general's eyes grew sharper.
