"Thanks, Kyle."

"Oh, thanks for your help too, brother Ars. I'm sorry. More people got hurt than I thought.

"It was really hard work with all the recovery magic. But it costs a lot of money to ask a bishop of the church to heal you. It can't be helped.

"Sorry. How did it go at ......?　How's my command?"

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

"I don't have anything to say. I can't complain about anything. It was a well-coordinated military operation. I didn't expect a siege and extermination.

"Heh heh. I've been doing a lot of work in the territory, haven't I?　I was mostly in command of the Transportation Corps when I first started working with the military. I don't know much about tactics. So, I've been studying the battle reports that my brother Ars has been doing.

"Oh, so that's why. The siege on the Wall was against the Keima cavalry of Uruk. Did you read the report of that battle and carry out that maneuver?　That was done with a Valkyrie with horns, but how could they have done it with a human being so well?"

"It's the respective commanders who actually run the squads. You just tell them what to do and they do it, so it's not so different from a Valkyrie, is it?"

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

"No, it's not the same at all. A valkyrie with horns is a whole group. But humans are not like that. Even though Fontana's army has established a clear chain of command, I think it's hard to keep giving accurate commands on a fluid battlefield when you're actually there. Kyle did a great job."

"Thank you, brother Ars. But it's not that hard, is it?　Everyone usually thinks about multiple things at the same time."

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

"......Eh, really?　No, I don't think so.　Wait a minute. Does Kyle usually have more than one thing on his mind at all times?"

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

"Of course. And you too, brother Ars, don't you?　It's a waste of time if you're not reading documents, doing calculations, giving instructions to others, and thinking about future moves, all at the same time."

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

"No, I'm sorry. I can't do that kind of thing. So, are you thinking about something else while you're talking to me?

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

"Yes, I do. And you're always talking directly to my head with your telepathy."

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

"...... So, by any chance, if 10 or so people talk to Kyle at once, can they all understand what he is saying?"

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

"Yes. Of course you can do that, right?"

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

　Oh, seriously?

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

　Can you do that?

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

　No, it might be possible if you concentrate magic power in your head if you are told to do it.

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

　But if you ask me if I usually do such a thing, I can only answer that I don't.

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

　Is this guy like Prince Shotoku or something?

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

　But yeah.

　Kyle's been running things on the estate since I became head of the knights of Barca.

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

　When I first went to battle with the Uruks, I entrusted the work of the domain to Kyle, who was only a single digit in age.

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

　And from that time on, Kyle was doing his job well.

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

　I mean, I think he was already doing a better job of running the estate than I was even then.

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

　Maybe he had a habit of thinking about more than one thing at the same time.

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

　Or perhaps he could not have done that amount of work otherwise.

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

　So, I gathered a group of people around me and asked them to talk to Kyle at the same time.

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

　To my surprise, it turned out that Kyle understood who was talking to whom and what, not only with ten people, but with dozens of people.

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

　As an added bonus, he responded to each person's questions in the correct order.

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

　Although I could make my head spin faster by concentrating my magical power in my head, I might not be able to do it to this extent either.

"Kyle, I don't think anyone else can do what you do.

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

"Yes, that's a lie, Brother Ars. Then how can you tell when they speak to you at the same time?"

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

"No, so I think most people would be confused if someone spoke to them at the same time and they wouldn't understand what they were all saying.

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

"Really?　I think anyone can do this much."

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

"...... Oh, I see. Kyle has always been able to do that, so it's normal for him. That's why he can't understand people who can't do it.

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

"Can't you do it too, brother Ars?"

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

"I can hear a few people. But not as well as Kyle, I don't think. I mean, I don't usually think about so many things at the same time. I don't know what you call it. It's like parallel thinking or parallel processing."

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

"...... Parallel Processing. A way of thinking that others cannot do. How to use your head, huh? Brother Ars, would it be useful to make it into magic?"

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

"Parallel processing as magic?　......Yes. Maybe almost everyone with the last name Reed can't do that parallelism, so I think a lot of people would benefit if we could make it magic."

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

"Okay. Okay, I'll make up a new spell.

　A light chat with Kyle after the military exercise.

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

　I was about to commend Kyle for closing out Lubitsch's army without any offensive magic.

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

　That was my only intention.

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

　However, I unexpectedly found out the excellent side of Kyle.

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

　The way his mind always handles multiple things at the same time.

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

　Kyle seemed to take this for granted, thinking that all other people do it.

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

　But that is not the case.

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

　Many people cannot process that much information at the same time.

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

　Kyle, who was unaware of this fact, decided to make a spell out of it and make it magical.

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

　To create a new spell, [parallel processing], Kyle had to keep working for a while after that, mumbling the word "parallel processing" all the time.

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

　And the spell was firmly completed some time later.

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

　I could instantly understand even the thickest book by [Speed Reading], complete all calculations by [Automatic Calculation], talk with a distant person with the surname Reed in my head by [Telepathic], and copy the record of the communication on paper by [Telecopying].

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

　Using [parallel processing], he can now do all of these things at the same time.

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

　Thus, with Kyle's development of this new magic, the Kingdom of Fontana was able to create a large number of Prince Shotoku-daishi at once.
