275 Gaiden Brothers' Bonds




 A few days after the annihilation of the Kanazawa Liberation Army.

Theon, we have a problem!

 I was relaxing in my room when Yataro jumped in with a hint of blood.

'What's up?'
A brave man a brave man from Gifu has invaded!
'A brave man from Gifu...? Didn't the guys in Gifu have their hands full with the thirteen deadly stars in Nagoya?
I should have been, but...

 I took control of my smartphone to check out the area of control that the brave men from Gifu had invaded.

 The number of invaders was 12 as per the theory. Some of their equipment possessed B-ranked unique items. We're currently battling a bunch of ghouls, the strongest of the cosmos...

I see.... Strong.

 Both the coordination and individual strength were on a different level than the previous invaders.

''What do we do?'' If you're willing to make a certain amount of sacrifice, I could turn you away, but...

 Yataro looks to me for instructions.

 Yataro is referring to a certain amount of sacrifices that can be mass produced and items that can be used. If the level of danger to the lives of the officers is at stake, he would have a different advice.

 The problem with that is that it's possible to drive them back. "If they can intercept, there's nothing wrong with that. But if we turn them away, it means we're giving the invaders something they can't get - experience and items.

 If I let the invaders have a good time, my area of control would be licked - and it would become a magnet for even more invaders.

 Moreover, it's not nice to say that the invaders are the humans in Gifu.

 That's why Yataro must have looked to me for instructions.

I'm going to provide you with an interceptor.
Mm. You're in charge.

 It's too early to have anything to do with humanity in Gifu. The best thing to do here would be to carve fear into them.

 I get on my smartphone and check on the executives' current movements.

 Lina, Takaharu, Sarah, Hibiki, Chloe, Leila, Flora... the executives have all gone out to gain experience in the area controlled by Demon King Kaoru.

 The only ones waiting are Kotetsu and Iron, and the rest are Saburo's troops.......

 Should we call in the executives?

 I think as I check the invaders' image on my smartphone.

 Kotetsu and Saburo's troops ... Izayoi and I are enough to take care of the rest.

 I call the interceptor members by telepathic communication.


  ◆.


And that's why I'm intercepting the humans in Gifu now.
Huh..... you're not only borrowing my troops, but also Izayoi-dono and Saburo's troops... it's quite a feat, isn't it?
"We will be a bloc of spears that will destroy all our enemies!
Master Theon, Team J, I'm ready for you.
''Master Theon, it should be my responsibility to defend myself. I apologize for this situation.

 Kotetsu, the first to be borrowed for defense, was smiling his good-natured smile, and next to him, Kufrin was spirited in front of him. Saburou was in an unintelligible pose with his team J's subordinates, and Izayoi was bowing his head apologetically.

'The goal this time--a crushing victory.
""Ha!"
"The human race in Gifu will know that the Astor Empire is strong!
Mmm!
Yes!
The dark abyss of Team J... will be revealed!
'I'm awed. All for the Lord - Lord Zion.

 --Transition B!

 I moved in with my men at the highest morale level to intercept the humans in Gifu Prefecture.


  ◆


 Ten minutes of waiting at the shifting destination.

 We heard the invaders talking along with their footsteps.

'They say it's the same thirteen deadly stars as Hayate, so I was wary of them, but it's no big deal.
''Compared to a normal dominion area, the minnows are stronger, but not to the point where they can't be defeated.
'Great job, leader! The strategy of daring to go after Zion in Hokuriku is a jackpot!
Don't get carried away. We haven't even killed our own people yet.
'Ha! I'm going to take you down, daddy!
So I'm telling you, you can't float...

 --Darklance!

 My well-aimed spear of darkness pierced the body of the invader who was on a roll.

'Yamadaaaa! Are you okay!
'Shit! Surprise is not fair!
That's all right! We're still here to help! --heels!

 The invaders are ready with their weapons and alerted to their surroundings.

'Oh, you're still alive. Izayoi, I hear he's going to take you down to the ground. What do we do?
"With all due respect, sir, I'll bury him myself.
"Put it down, Dad? Daddy.
Yes, sir.

 He ordered Izayoi to take down the invaders who had just spoken a lick to him.

'Saburo, how many of your troops can you take down?'
Give the order and I'll destroy them all.
That's going to leave me and the cottagers bored, isn't it? Take down nine men, mainly in the rearguard.
I've got it!

 I'm giving orders to Sublow's Team J.

Cotes, can you get the rest of them?
Well I think we can afford it. Can you go for Cu?
As per my father's orders!

 Kotetsu makes eye contact with Kufrin and smiles ferociously.

 The interceptors this time are me, Izayoi, Kotetsu, Kufrin, Saburou, and eight of Team J's elite members, for a total of thirteen people.

 If I kill each of them, there will be enough for me to spare.

 I took out my glow gun and decided to fancy myself as a high priest while growing the glow gun.

"--Euterminate!

 At my call, my men attack the invaders.

'Shit! You guys, get ready! We will defeat the Demon King Theon, one of the 13 evil stars! -- "Tau

 I won't let you!

 I slam my shield and fire a glow gun into the brow of the humanity that seems to be the leader of the attempted hate control. Although it's not very powerful, it succeeds in stopping the 《Taunt》.

''Don't be in a hurry kid! I am the man for you! --Blade!


 The vacuum blade released by Kotetsu bounced off the leader's shield.

''By the order of Zion-sama, I will take you down with a papa!

 Izayoi dutifully utters my orders and spears to the designated humanity.

'O brave man who has fallen into darkness--the Zeroth Disaster (Disaster Zero)! Show Master Theon how strong you are!
'Whoa! This sword is the power that keeps us all smiling! In order to protect the lives of my people, my fellow countrymen, I come to you, the Zero Disaster!

 Oh..... Is that the ex-brave that Saburo wanted to see? Let's see what he's got in store for us.

 Saburou takes care of the troublesome rearguard one by one while coordinating with his subordinates.

 Ten minutes into the battle.

 There are six invaders left.

 The leader of the other side is still alive against Kotetsu, showing surprising tenacity, but the winner was clear.

 Now, who shall we leave behind?

 It would be easy to annihilate them all, but one of them would have to be sent home for the sake of the brawl of the dominant domain.

 Who's the one who looks like an influencer, who looks light-mouthed and proud?

 Papatto-kun was a gem of an influencer, but he has already been turned into a mute corpse by Izayoi's spear.

 That leader is revenge! He's the type of guy who's going to invade again while saying, "I'm not sure....

 And at the time when I was wondering about it--

 The invaders approached from behind Kufrin, who was protruding without looking at his surroundings, raising his axe.

 Shit!

 I hurriedly set up my glow gun, but I can't shoot it because of the Kufrin overlapping in the line of fire.

 d*mn I may look like an adult, but I'm still a kid (cetanta) when it comes to plunging and stuff!

Fast Thrust.

 

'Seta it's Kufrin! You're not alone in this! Be alert to your surroundings!

 Saburou, who gallantly rescued Setanta from her predicament, scolded Kufrin.

''Oh, brother.......oh, brother.......!
'Don't make me say it again! Do not take the field of battle if you are a child who does not know the laws of war! -- "Thousand Thrust.

 Saburou stabs the invaders with a godspeed stab to destroy them.

''Do you understand?!''
I'm sorry...

 Kufrin is visibly depressed by Sabraw's spirit.

 Later, thanks to the lion's share of the work of a wilted Kufrin and Sablow, the 11 invaders were swept away. The one surviving invader was threatened plenty before being sent back.

''I'm... sorry for... earlier...''

 Kufrin looks dejected and apologizes to Sablow.

'Huh. You are no longer ... my brother.
Oh, brother...
You're one of Lord Kotetsu's men now, aren't you?
That's right....

 Kufrin is visibly depressed when Sabraw throws him off.

'O Kufrin! You have graduated from me......... 'Yes! It has flown from me!
Oh, brother...
My sweet little brother Seta has left the nest and I have a new little sister, Lirielle...!
Oh, brother...?
"Seta, no my dear Kufrin. You've been a good brother. You were a gem that could have opened a new door for me. But! I'm going back to my roots! Goodbye, little brother! And hello! Sister! So, Sion-sama, when will you be assigned to my unit, Lirielle--

 --Fire Lance!

 I fired a spear of fire at Sablow, who was insinuating nonsense, and left the scene.
