Nacht sat in the air against the backdrop of the night sky.
　Beyond the special seat, there was Shtel, who was happily fighting, and Nacht smiled as well, as he was trapped.

''Well you don't have to do anything?''

　Filnelia, spreading her bat wings, asks this next to her.

'I told you, I'm not going to be tactless - it's a good opportunity for both Aisha and Shtel to give their all. Besides, if I pull out, you'll have more to bear, Filnelia.

You're going to stay here.

　In an instant, Filnelia was kneading her magic power while sweat poured down her forehead.
　Even though Nacht is helping to expand the target, the burden of continuing to exercise magic over the entire Kusatsu area will be unusual.

It's a good idea to be prepared for emergencies, but it's not necessary. After all, there's my Aisha over there.



Besides, I have an important role to play in keeping an eye on Stell and Aisha's success.

　Saying that, Nacht sat down and kneaded his magic power.
　Nacht has another role to play.
　The people of Kusatsu are sleeping soundly under the magic of Furnelia. With the exception of the security forces and the strike force selected by Kensei and Konoha, all of the people will be having pleasant dreams.

　But that's only for the inside.
　There is no way to prevent the infiltration of the demonic beasts that are trying to escape in confusion after the clash between Stel and Yamata. It would be fine to send a strike force to that side, but if they were left to their own devices, a contingency exists.

(Besides, I'm sure Aisha will feel like she needs a few more hands.)

　It's Nacht's job to prepare a place where Aisha and Shtel can fight with all their might.
　The two of them must not devote their attention to anything other than fighting.

''Area Skill (Area Skill) -- Inviolable (Legion) Realm of the Spiritual Dragon (Soul).''

　Waves of the dragon spread out to cover the Kusatsu.
　A faint light rises from the emerging speckles.
　In an instant, a new area spreads around the perimeter of the Kusatsu. A realm of dragons, implying that it is off-limits.

'Do you care what it did?'

.... nothing...

Well, you want to hear it!

You need to listen to me!

'Well, it's not much. It's just like a warding that prohibits people from entering a certain area in exchange for their magical power. If it's only a magical beast, this should be enough.

...?

　Filnelia spits away as if to say she's not truly interested.
　I miss the sound of Aisha's voice as she praises me unconditionally.
　Nacht lightly loosens Firnelia's assistance to at least soothe her belly.

''Wait, stop!　I'll unravel, magic, I'll melt!

　Nacht just stared at the two of them, ignoring the fussing Filnelia as a matter of course.

''Hey, I really can't do that!　Oh, come on, you need to work on me more, society, you!

　Against the backdrop of a hard-working succubus.

Hang in there, Aisha, Shtel--

　Nacht said with a smile.

　Shtel dodges a brace from Yamata, just out of range.　
　The same is true for Shtel, but Yamata's long-range attack methods are few and far between. So far, the only thing he has is breaths and the eerie eyes that grant him a status quo.

　After getting enough distance and switching to attacking with spirit magic, Shtel was acutely aware of how recklessly he had been rushing in.
　As instructed by Aisha, if he aimed at the neck that hadn't moved the most, the head of the shield would always come to his defense. The more heads that were on the defensive, the easier it would be for Shtel's attack to get through.

''How's that one now?''

(Good for the fire, no water.)

So, how's it going over there?

(I think dirt is the best, everything else is subtle.)

　Shtel was finally beginning to realize that each head had a different resistance to the attributes.
　Information is important in a fight, or so I think Nacht had said.

　In fact, even if he didn't have to rely on a large firepower strike, he was getting the upper hand with a steady attack.
　But even so--.　



　Yamata's ability to recover was overwhelming.
　Shtel's attack had done clear damage. But Yamata had done more than that to heal the wounds.
　Repeatedly, repeatedly, repeatedly.
　As he continued to repeat, it felt like he was walking pointlessly down an endless road.
　But there is no hurry for Shtel.
　The people who are important to him are watching over him.

'It's just like the plan!

(Yeah, but for Dad's sake, let's get some more information.)






◇






　The magic profession is just fine, just enough to be cowardly.
　The more allies you have, the stronger the auxiliary positions become.
　Aisha was fighting as Nacht taught her.　

'Ugh, but it's still reckless, Nacht-sama--I can't believe that Aisha should take command and fight.......'

　Aisha, alone and full of herself, spilled that.
　Aisha is not very good at talking to people.
　Aisha gets nervous just asking the maidens for help. Naturally, she has no experience in conducting.

　But she has no choice.
　Before you say four or five things, you act.
　That's what the dragon's followers are for.

　Five more minutes until the maidens' jutsu went into effect.
　That was the last time Aisha had left.
　They had to get their plan together as soon as possible.

''Shtel, eight heads--how many can you hunt up to if you're at your best?

Dad?　Let's see, four of them?　But if you work hard, you can put it down more!

Kensei-san, can I trust you with the head of the Yamata?

"Ho-ho-ho, let's whip the old bones.

Konoha-san, can I borrow your flying dragon soldier?

That's great, but you're not ready to deal with the Yamata.

Don't worry, I'll try to be creative.

　Aisha's spontaneous, spontaneous plan. It's the first time he's ever conducted one.
　There is a limit to how haphazard it can be.
　Aisha's true feelings were that she was nothing but anxious.

　But the thought of Nacht watching her back gives her courage.
　The thought that her beloved Lord is watching over her fills her with strength.

　Aisha is Nacht's follower.
　That means we have no choice but to proceed.

'Otherwise, I wouldn't be qualified to stand next to Nacht-sama!

　The moment it's out of his mouth.
　Aisha's eyes sink deep and clear.
　Surely it's now that I'm truly prepared.

≪''Gentlemen, please listen, I will explain the plan.

　Help Shtel.
　That's natural.

≪Endurance battles are not good for boss battles, so--

　But it's not enough.
　It's not enough to be a weak Aisha.
　I can't live up to Nacht-sama's expectations then.　

≪--''--The three of you will give me enough and I'll make sure to finish it.

　That's why Aisha laughs.
　She laughs thickly, imitating the Lord who laughs fearlessly.
