"Get your ass on the boat!　We're going to have to pull out in a hurry."

　Elvis gives the order in a loud voice.

　While I, Ian, and Norn, now back in his armor, were still dealing with the oncoming troops of Grougaria, the mercenaries were scurrying behind the defensive wall.

　Ian gets into the remaining boat and starts to work on the rudder.

　With the oars in our hands and ready to take to the water at any moment, we, who had been fighting in the middle of the island until the end, boarded the boat and started rowing.

"What are you going to do, Mr. Alphonse?　Shall we go after the Orientals, who are retreating first?"

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

"...... No, they should still be running away carrying Jumaki. If possible, we want to buy as much time as we can.

"I see. So it would be better to flee in a different direction from the Orientals?

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

"That's right. We'll go downstream for a while. It's faster to move with the current of the river.

"Okay. But the question is how much we can separate the Glugaria soldiers from those who are accustomed to steering the ship. In any case, let's hurry.

　The main objective of this battle with the Bulgarian nation is to secure the soft magic tree.

　We will create a long-range offensive weapon called the "Magic Bow Orient" to enhance the defense of the Orient.

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

　For this purpose, we have fought against the Bulgarian Empire.

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

　And that goal is still in progress.

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

　Since we were able to cut down the juma-trees directly from the central province instead of the lumberyard, which was our original goal, Oliva and the other Orientals have been carrying them ahead of us.

　However, we Baruka mercenaries stayed behind as Tono because we didn't want to be pursued by them.

　If the Barka mercenaries were to follow the army of the Orient and take the soldiers of Grygalia with them now, it might lead to the failure of our past operations.

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

　Considering this, I hesitated to go after the Orientals.

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

　In fact, it might be better to wait a little longer.

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

　So, we run away in a different direction from the Orientals.

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

　The Orientals have special ships for transportation, and the convoys seem to be using those ships.

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

　The ship is said to be a ship that can move forward by manipulating the flow of water, so it is probably moving toward the Orient, which is upstream of the Orient.

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

　Therefore, we row the boat in a different direction, downstream.

"They are chasing us, aren't they? A number of Grougaria boats are coming to chase us."

"Ai, I'm sorry, but you'll have to do your best to intercept them. Ai, I'm sorry, but you'll have to do your best to intercept them. Ai is the only one on this ship who can fight a proper battle against the archers of the Grougalia.

"Yes, Master Alphonse."

　A Grougaria ship chases after the Barka mercenaries, who have started to move by ship.

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

　Archers attack from the top of the ship with bows.

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

　As one would expect, this is their home turf.

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

　They attacked with powerful arrows even from the top of the rocking ship.

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

　In contrast, only Ai is able to stand up to their archers.

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

　Ian, our best, will not be able to use his strength to the fullest on the river.

　If we were to be turned into giants on the small boat we're on now, the whole boat would sink.

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

　In the same way, I and Elvis and others are out of the game.

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

　We can't fight well on the ship.

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

　The only thing we can do is to attack with the bows of the mercenaries, who are far inferior to the archers of Grougalia.

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

　But we can't do nothing.

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

　I took out my magic gun from my bag and was about to intercept them with Ai when Norn spoke to me.

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

（Hey, Alphonse! Use the power of the meteor to attack.)

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

　The Norns are already out of their armor.

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

　Norn, who had fought to the end in the middle of the island as bipedal armor before boarding the ship, had returned to me after boarding the ship.

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

　The blood that made up the armor is coming back into my body.

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

　It's a strange feeling.

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

　The Norn who has returned as my blood is calling to me in my head.

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

　But what do those words mean?

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

　What did he mean when he said he would use the power of the meteor?

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

（You were just there. The one who attacked us with his bow with such destructive power.)

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

（Yes, there was. The attack of the man called Meteor was indeed powerful. But what are you going to do with it, Norn?)

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

（You use it, Alphonse. I drank a lot of that meteor's blood. Now that you have the memory of that blood, you should be able to do the same with the meteor.)

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

　Huh?

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

　What the hell is that?

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

　Can I use the same attack that Meteor used to gouge the ground?

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

　The reason for this is that Norn took his blood.

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

　I was in a state of disbelief when I was suddenly told this.

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

　But Norn would never tell such a lie out of the blue.

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

　With this thought in mind, I turned my attention to my body for the time being.

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

"............ like this?"

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

　What Norn said was true.

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

　I don't know what to say.

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

　I think it is very vague and senseless.

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

　But it surely seemed to me that if I concentrated my mind as Norn said, I could make the same attack as Meteor.

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

　The man called Meteor had a distinctly different attack from the other archers of Grougalia.

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

　Maybe the bow of the soft magic tree he was using at that time was also special and different from others.

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

　But the most important thing in that attack was the use of magic power.

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

　He sends a large amount of his own magic power into the bow and arrows and makes a special attack.

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

　That seems to be what Ryusei was doing.

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

　He kneads a large amount of the magic that comes out of his body and sends it into his weapons, drawing out an attack power that is unmatched by others.

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

　That may be why there is a gap between the first and the second blow.

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

　He must have taken his time to develop his magical power so that he could kill his opponent with a single blow.

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

　Norn only called the attack of a person who is both an archer and a magician a "meteor".

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

　And I can understand how the use of the magical attack called [meteor] was influenced by the blood that was taken from him.

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

　How does one put magic power into a weapon and turn it into an offensive force that destroys what is real?

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

　I understand it without any logic.

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

　Maybe this was Norn's plan all along.

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

　When he was in his Valkyrie form and sucking the blood of Meteor, he also took in a foreign substance in his body of blood.

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

　It was the bow of the Juumaki that Ryusei had been using.

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

　When he boarded the ship, he was given the bow with the words "I found it and I want you to keep it", and he grabbed it and put an arrow through it.

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

　Then, relying on the memory of the blood, he manipulated the magic and put it into the arrow.

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

"Get back, Ai! Shoot a meteor."

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

　I can't use a bow.

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

　But I've seen many times when archers of Grougalia, including Ryusei, have shot their bows.

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

　Remember.

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

　When Ai taught me the swordsmanship of a sword saint.

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

　When I observed Ai's swordsmanship and tried to reproduce it with my own body.

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

　The muscles used for sword and bow are different.

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

　But I have continued to train myself to move my body as I imagined in my mind.

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

　I may not be able to reproduce the perfect movement right away, but I should be able to move as close to it as possible.

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

　With this in mind, I try to recreate the movements of Ryusei with the bow that Ryusei used, but with modifications made to match the bow with the child's body.

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

　He put his magical power into the bow, which is made of hard soft magic wood, and also kneaded a huge amount of magical power into the arrow he aimed, pulled the string, and took aim.

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

　If I put in the magic power over time, relying on the memory of blood, I can create a magic attack called [meteor] which can inflict damage over a wide area centered on the point of impact.

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

　I fired it at the fleet of Grougalia that was chasing us.
