"U......,this is amazing. It's a little scary because it feels like you're floating on your feet."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Really?　I think it's a lot more stable than the last balloon ride, Dad."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see, the balloon was shaking so much. Ha, Kyle's more dependable than you."

　The father signaled to the airship pilot, and the airship slowly began to float.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Dad looks a little nervous about his first ride in an airship.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I'm not too scared.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe it's because I was on the balloon when it crashed in the north forest before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was a little worried then, partly because of the shaking, but also because I didn't know if I would make it back home.

　The airship rose higher and higher until we were looking down at the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then I saw that Memento's army, which was very large in number, started to panic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Almost everyone was looking at the airship in the sky and pointing at it.

　The airship was passing over the panicked people.

"Oh, they attacked us. They also used magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Master Kyle, please take a good look. That is the Memento family's magic, the Kamaitachi.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Kamaitachi"?　Is that strong magic, Mr. Payne?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, of course. It is said that when you hold a weapon in your hand, the wind blesses it. Then, no matter what kind of a muddle it is, it is said to have the power to cut through even a vajra stone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wow, it's just like your brother Byte's [Strengthening Arms]."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, that's right. But there is a difference between this and [Strengthening Armament]. It can be fired from the hand as a remote attack without a weapon. As a blade of wind, it can cut through an opponent at a distance, making it a versatile attack magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wow. Two ways to attack with one magic. I didn't know magic could do that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. Yes. It is a very strong opponent. But the reason why the Memento family has become such a great aristocrat is not only due to the effect of the [Sickle Sword]. I would say that the existence of a higher level of magic that only the head of the family can use is a major factor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What kind of magic is that, Mr. Payne?　The higher magic of the Memento family? Is it stronger than [Summon Ice Spirit], [Black Flame], or [Distant Thunder]?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"In terms of absolute offensive power alone, I think there is nothing more powerful than the [Black Flame] of the House of Uruk. But the higher level magic of the Memento family was more destructive than the Black Flame. The Memento family's [Tornado] has such destructive power that it could destroy several noble families and rise to power."

"...... Tatsumaki?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes . Have you ever seen something called a whirlwind, Mr. Kyle?　It is a phenomenon in which the wind swirls around something and sends it flying. A tornado is an even bigger version of that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah, I know what a whirlwind is. You know, the wind that goes around and around in a whirlwind?　But when they get big, are they really that destructive?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. Oh, look below, Mr. Kyle. The head of the Memento family has just used a tornado to target this airship. It might be a little bumpy, so please be careful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, really. Oh, really. ...... is amazing. Everything around me is getting sucked in and blown away. ...... Is this airship all right, Mr. Payne?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. During the last reconnaissance by the airship, Ars-sama confirmed the tornado. At that time, he instructed us to maintain an altitude that would not be affected by the tornado when flying over the Memento family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see. So this airship will be fine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, that's right. But only if the head of the class used the tornado by himself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Used by one person?　What do you mean, Mr. Payne?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The Memento family's high-level magic [Tornado] can increase its power by having several heads of families cooperate with each other. When used alone, the vortex of wind cannot reach the airships in the sky, but if they work together to increase its power, it is said that the vortex of wind can extend all the way to the heavens.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Up to the heavens?　That would increase the power of the wind to blow things away, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course, Mr. Kyle. That's why the Memento family has always outnumbered the other noble houses. They can blow up a castle with such force that it can blow up an entire building. Of course, it is sure to play an active role in the field as well. It is even said that the destructive power of the maximally strengthened [Tornado] may even reach the power of the royal family of old."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, so the Memento family is that great. Is your brother Ars alright, Mr. Payne?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't know. But it seems that Ars-sama was more than aware of the danger of the Memento family's "tornado" when he heard about it. That's why he was thinking of taking action instead of staying in the camp.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see, that's the reason why Brother Ars said that he would definitely defeat one of the head of the family in this operation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, that's right. It would be best if we could take this opportunity, when the Memento family would not be able to move so easily, to take out more than one head of the family, but no matter how much we thought about it, we concluded that it would be difficult to take out more than one. I agree with him. Rather, it would be a good thing if we could defeat even one of the head of the family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see. But then, I'd like to do what I can for my brother Ars.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmmm, I'm sure Ars-sama will be happy to hear that Kyle-sama feels that way. For now, it is enough just to take advantage of this opportunity to see the whole battlefield from the sky and understand the battle movements. I will leave the rest to you, Mr. Ars.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, but I'll give it a try, Mr. Payne. Valkyries, please. Please help your brother Ars.

　Looking down from the top of the airship, knights of the Memento family and others who appeared to be of the head of the family invoked their magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But they could not reach the airship.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mr. Payne told me that when he and Mr. Ars went to scout the Memento family, they had confirmed the height where the magic could reach.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So I could ask Mr. Payne about the Memento family without any worries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was amazed at the power of the Memento family, which is said to be a great noble family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder if Ars is okay.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mr. Payne said that he would leave it to Ars, but I couldn't bring myself to do so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reason I wanted to go to the battlefield was because I wanted to help my brother Arus who was reckless.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's why I asked the Valkyries on the ground to help him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At the very least, I asked them to keep the other four armies away from him, except for the one he attacked.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Valkyries are not allowed to approach the area.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Sir Kyle?　What are you doing?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Huh?　I'm giving orders to Valkyrie with horns. You see, the other armies of the Memento family are moving toward the army of Barca, so I'm blocking their path by having them [build a wall] to stop their movement.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, that's not what I meant. ....... How could you do that?　You can see it from above. The Valkyries are building walls by maneuvering very well on the battlefield. I can see that. But it is impossible for a Valkyrie or a human being to grasp the movements of Memento's army and build a wall like that. How is it possible to move like that? ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, that's why I'm giving you the orders. From above I can see the movements of Memento's army. I tell them where the Valkyries are going and where to build the wall.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Um, how do you give directions, Mr. Kyle?　This is the sky above where even a tornado can't reach us. There is no way we can give instructions to a Valkyrie on the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm just talking to Valkyrie with magic, okay?　A big tree in the forest talked to me once, so I practiced.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The trees talked to you?　......I thought you said that happened to you when you were in distress ....... Don't tell me you can reach someone at a distance?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. It's easy to do from the sky, because you can see who you're talking to. Well, now the army your brother Ars was after is completely isolated from the rest of Memento's army. This way they won't get in our way."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......Well, Mr. Ars, Mr. Bite and Mr. Kyle are both terrifying. Does your father have some kind of special magic?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Don't be silly, Mr. Payne. Don't be ridiculous, Mr. Payne. I don't have that kind of power, even though I'm their father. ......I still wonder who my children will look like."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What's wrong, Dad?　Ah, Mr. Thanatos turned into a giant and blew the [tornado] out of the ground!　All right, go!　Ah, it's blocked! But Brother Ars went from behind. ...... got it!　Brother Ars took out the head of the class, father. Does this mean that Barca has won, Mr. Payne?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... No, you mustn't let your guard down yet, Mr. Kyle. This is another nobleman's domain. And the Memento family still has four armies. It is also important for the small number of the Barca forces to be able to retreat safely to Fontana. Master Kyle, is it possible to talk to Master Ars from here?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, you can, Mr. Payne."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see. Then please make a proposal to Mr. Ars. Mr. Kyle can use the Valkyrie to help him retreat from the airship. That way, we will be able to return home more safely.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, all right, Mr. Payne. I'll tell my brother Ars."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I took Mr. Payne's advice and immediately spoke to Brother Ars.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's funny, Brother Ars.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I spoke to him, he looked around in surprise.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But he immediately agreed to do what I told him to do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He made a circle on his head with his hands and showed me that he was facing the airship.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe that means he agreed to my proposal?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, the Balkan army turned back to its position in the Fontana territory.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The army of Barca is victorious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But, as a child, I couldn't do much to help my brother Ars.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I hope to grow up and fight with him soon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And so my first battle is over.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'll try harder.
