When Nacht thought of dropping the demon tribe's stronghold, the first problem he faced was how to defeat that Gilesaak.
　There was no doubt that he was an opponent that was beyond the control of the elves and Aisha.
　Even if he conquered all but the general, that guy was strong enough to continue the war on his own.
　In other words, the conditions for victory for the elves didn't exist other than defeating Gailsaak.

　The only two people who can counter that big demon with our strength are Aisha and Sylphy. That's why it was necessary to send the two of them into the enemy's main camp unharmed.

　First of all, neutralizing the wards was a prerequisite.
　With the pass prepared by Nacht, they could pass through the warding without any problems. If you can break in without being noticed by your opponent, there is no way you can't make use of that.

　By exposing Aisha and Sylphy to the front of the pack, and allowing them to swell their magical energy, they could convince others that they were planning to destroy the wards.
　In reality, Aisha just generated a fog to hide her own army.

　Once the opponent's eyes are taken away, he invades the troops led by Tama to the west, where they seem to be the least defended - and the troops led by Urs to the east, where there is a simple barrier that will undoubtedly break down the coordination of the enemy forces.
　I made them do everything they could while the enemy was confused.
　Eliminate the ambush, destroy the traps, induce disruptions in the chain of command, and interfere with the transmission. Follow the instructions in Nacht's strategy book, optimizing actions for each platoon.

　On the other hand, Aisha and Silphy, while pretending to have rushed in, had actually gone around to the back of the wards.
　The rear side wasn't thinly defended either, and if they broke in, they would be detected first.
　That's why Nacht's special equipment (a unique item), the robe of Kumogakure, would completely disappear from the battlefield by wrapping himself in it.

　The two of them constructed a ward that blocked sound and vision while approaching the main enemy camp.
　Once they were able to stop the enemy commander inside the ward, it was a matter of patience from there on out.

　If the enemy was concerned about the general's safety, he wouldn't be able to make a move inside. However, the general is not only the most important person, but also the highest force on the enemy side.

　Preserving the strongest manpower in order to protect the maximum strength is a bit strange. Even if the two commanders acted separately, it was a normal decision.
　The most Nacht's assumption was that the only one who would move was Jinn, but the two came out to the battlefield together.

　But it was also an advantage.
　It would be a bit of a burden on the front lines, but it didn't matter.
　Now that it's come to this, the game will be decided in the last five minutes one way or the other.

"Well, that's more or less how it went--

　It's not exactly as planned from start to finish, but it's an expected situation for Nacht.　

'That's as far as I can go--go for it, Aisha.

　And so the battlefield enters its final phase.





　◇





　The fog that had covered the entire battlefield suddenly disappeared.
　The spirits that gathered around the area shifted in and out of sight and disappeared.

　A variety of voices mingled on the battlefield as the light shone in.
　Astonishment, screams, and even explosions mercilessly fill the tiny human voices in their wake.
　A chaotic sound that is appropriate for the battlefield.

　Pushing away all of that--.

...a singing voice?

　--The voice filled the battlefield.

　Before I knew it, the sounds around me had stopped.
　The sound of swords clashing, the sound of magic being released, the screams of soldiers shouting out their wounds, the voices of soldiers cursing their opponents, and all the surrounding noise disappeared - everyone listened to the sound.

　It was a high girl's voice.
　There was an echo, but no lyrics. At least the echoing voice was not a language that existed in this world.

..., ... ----

　But what the sound honors comes naturally to my mind.
　Deep night.
　A dark night.
　But the glorious golden eyes.

　It was a celebration of the dragon that the singer, above all and everyone else, revered, worshipped and loved.

　Its figure was as powerful as a story.

　Its appearance is as fragile as a fantasy.

　I keep on reaching out to that distant, yet distant presence.

(I think I heard Lord Nacht's voice...)

　I let the magic of the night color rising from inside my body ride on my voice.

　My throat trembles with this.

　Please send it to me.

　Aisha's thoughts, Aisha's gratitude, and Aisha's everything, may it be conveyed to you...

In the weakness of my body, the power of the dragon...

　--Skill, Investigation of the Dragon Priestess.

　



◆





Come on, Aisha, let's get to work on your training.

　Nacht sat down with Aisha in the shade of a tree that seemed to dislike the sunshine.

'Ha, yes!　But I'll do my best.

　It was nice to put up a fight, but Aisha was quite nervous.

''Ha, what. It's not that difficult to do. I'm just going to practice using the power within Aisha.'

"The power of Nachtasama...

　However, it is already Aisha's thing, though.

'Up until now, when Aisha's survival instincts sounded the alarm, she handled it unconsciously - but from now on, she should be able to control and handle it at her will.

　I don't know how far the skills (skills) can be handled at Aisha's current level, but with her steel will, Aisha was using the magic of the tertiary position - lightning dragon magic (dragon magic), which doesn't apply to the four major positions, just by watching and imitating it.
　According to the common sense of the game era, this would be the first thing that would be impossible.
　But even such common sense of Nacht was easily surpassed by Aisha.
　A glimpse of that talent is already on the verge of blossoming.

''You can say that my magic power is the power of the dragon, it's a little hard to handle, but my Aisha can do it, I'm sure of it.''

Well I'll do my best!

Nice spirit. Okay, Aisha, come closer to me--

What the--?

　Nacht pulled Aisha closer to him.
　With a thud, I could hear Aisha's heart beating loudly.

　Aisha's soft hair, smelling like a flower, hit her cheek. I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.

'We're a long way from--'

　He lifts Aisha's body to lean on his shoulder.

''--Huey?''

　As it is, he puts Aisha on his lap and holds her close to him, letting her lean against him.

Uh, uh, Herr Nacht, sir?

Hmm, now you're ready to train.

No, um.........training, right?

　Nacht says in a whisper in Aisha's confused ear.

'Of course. Come on, Aisha. Relax and let me do everything for you.

'Whew.........'

　Aisha trembles in a ticklish way.
　I put my hand over Nacht's and gently hold Nacht's hand in Aisha's hand.

　As she did so, her body gradually relaxed.
　Nacht interferes with the inside of Aisha's hand from the hand she was laying on top of.

'If you're not careful, you'll be taken in?

Hmm!　

　He drew out the magic power that was sleeping inside Aisha.
　However, what I actually drew out was less than 1% of Aisha's magic power.

'Ah!　No.　That's........

　Aisha grunted in a panic.

'It's okay, Aisha. It's already in Aisha's power. Don't try to hold it down, just tune in and let it run through your body.'

.........!

Okay, let's take a break.

　Nacht gently fits Aisha's magic power that she drew out.

''Huh.........''
　Nacht casually wiped the sweat from Aisha's sweat as she breathed on her shoulder with the sleeve of her dress.

'Well, you can rest assured that I'll follow you properly until you get used to it. When you get used to it, I'll try to disrupt Aisha's concentration in many ways this time.

What is it that you're doing?

It's a lot of things, Aisha--

　In the training that followed, Aisha's screams never stopped, she said.





◇





Nacht-sama did a lot of things to me, but...

　Because of that, she was able to handle her own power a bit more.

　The skill (skill)--The investigation of the dragon maiden is one of the few skills (skills) that Aisha has been able to handle.

　The profession that Aisha was given by Nacht - the dragon priestess is the same magical profession as Nacht, but many of the skills (skills) that she can learn are directed more towards assisting than attacking. Although their direct combat power is inferior to that of the dragon knight, they can use various ways to fight for that.
　In particular, the power of a dragon priestess with many auxiliary skills becomes even more powerful if she has a companion to fight with.

　Because of their profession as magicians, there are many skills that can be activated at the expense of magic power, and the more magic power they sacrifice, the more powerful their skills become.

(Anyway, I can't control all of the magic power yet--then I'll already put it on this song--skill(s) to the point of using it all up.

　The entire battlefield.

　All of our own troops.

　--The night-colored robe covers and gives strength.

　He used a song.
　Since the quality of magic power is different, it is not possible to use spirit magic and Nacht's power at the same time. The fog has cleared, the sound is transmitted, and Aisha has been exposed to it.
　Soon this place will be identified.

(Urs-san and Tama, all the elves are stalling for time. Silphy-san is fighting as hard as he can without taking a step back against such a big, scary human partner.)

　Aisha has just never been in the line of fire.
　But the magic profession is just as good as being cowardly.

'Aisha just does the best she can with what Aisha can do.


◇


Let's go.

　Aisha's blessing, Sylphy ran into the ground as if gliding over the ground.
　He swung the sword in his right hand. I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not. However, Sylphy didn't mind and swung the sword out.

''Nuh-''

　The white and silver dagger given to him by Nacht, the Spirit King's blessing, Aisha's assistance - and the skills he had trained, all of which were now combined into one, he felt a faint palpable feeling. I pulled out my defenses and felt a slight but penetrating shock. Taking that feeling as a signal, Sylphy began to rush with all his might.

　Connecting the left sword with a flowing motion. Slash up with the left sword. Slash down with the right sword. Right, left. Sylphy's continuous attacks continued without end.
　Once you give her a pause to unleash a big swing, she will unleash a fatal blow.
　That's why Sylphy bites and doesn't let go.

''----raaaaaaaaah!

　Swords and axes crossed, the impact raging with the wind.
　They suffered faint wounds from each other, blood dripping down every so often. The impact of each other's weapons only hazed the sides of their bodies, piercing even the equipment they wore.
　But even so, Sylphy moved forward.
　That's the only way to win.

''The Sword Dance of the Spirit King (Sylphid Dance)''

　It was a storm of blue wind.
　A sword strike through the sword and a blade of blue wind struck at the same time. It's not only an attack, it's also like a dance between the spirits and Sylphy.

　No matter how outstandingly they went on defense, the number of moves were different. The overwhelming whirlpool of blades crushes Gilesark. It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

''Demon Strike--Fresh Blood Axe!

　Guilzark's axe, which had significantly increased attack power at the cost of HP, collided with Silphy's sword, which seemed to have compressed a typhoon.
　The attack power was undoubtedly higher than Guilzark's. However, Gailzark, who had been forced to unleash a large technique in the midst of Silphy's continuous attacks, lacked the accumulation.

　The antagonism is instantaneous.
　The impact of the impact that they both struck out with each other was almost an offset, and each other's bodies were blown apart.

''Kafu--''

Grrrr...

　He created such an advantageous situation and received the support of various people, and yet it was still good and compatible.
　But still, Sylphy laughs.



　It was the sound of thunder that answered.
　The blue wind that blew through the sky eventually rose to the sky - a dragon of lightning, descending from the far heavens.

"--Dragon Magic--The Thunder Dragon Falling from the Sky (Fallen Lightning).

　The dragon fell from heaven to earth and swallowed Gailzak.
