What I could see from the end of the pass through the "Gate" was the black smoke and the sight of the fort being attacked.
　I used my attributeless magic "Long Sense" and sent my vision flying towards the fort.
　I'm not going to be the only one who has a problem with it.
　There is no end to the fire and arrows flying around, and enemy soldiers are swarming to climb the walls of the fort, taking advantage of the gap.
　I took out my phone from my pocket and searched for "Yae's brother". I've searched for it once, so maybe I can do it...I was there. Inside the fort, in front of the ramparts, it was moving left and right. It looks like he's safe.

"My brother seems to be okay. I don't know about your father, but...
' We have to get to the fort quickly...!
Wait. You think you can just jump in there and be safe?

　Lean stops Yae from trying to run towards the fort right away. In fact, the fort is surrounded by enemy soldiers, and it doesn't look like it will be easy to get close to them. But it's not for lack of a better way.

'I'll check a kilometer ahead with my 'long sense' and jump with my 'gate'. If I do that again, I can get inside the fort. I don't want to be conspicuous, so I'll go to the fort by myself first, and then I'll open the Gate here again, and then you guys can wait.
Yeah. It's the surest way to be sure.

　Leanne runs a hand over her chin and thinks about it. Huh? Speaking of which.........

''Hey, don't fairy folk have the ability to fly with the wings on their backs?
'What? Oh, I can't. Unlike the winged man, I'm a degenerate. I can flap my wings, but I can only do a little bit of floating. And it's very tiring.

　Too bad. I was hoping that I could get Lean to fly over the fort and take me to the top of the fort. Well, it would be a shame if they thought I was a suspicious person and targeted me with a bow and arrow, so anyway, it's no use.
　We'll just have to do it the way we did it earlier.

"Amber. Take care of everyone. Let me know if you need anything.
I understand.
"? This kid talks!

　I rolled my eyes in surprise at Amber's response to me, as Leanne replied to me. Huh? Didn't I tell you that? I guess it was a bad idea to spill the beans to the people involved in the Mismid. Well, they seem to be keeping my abilities to themselves, so I'm sure they'll be fine.
　Deploying Long Sense and getting a visual on the kilometers ahead. I think we'll be okay in that area first. I open the gate in the woods before the fort.

All right, I'm out.

　We passed through the Gate and transitioned into the woods. There were shouts and shouts of rage typical of the battlefield, and an uncommon air was floating around. The smell of blood mixed in with the smell of burning can also waft through the air.
　I look up at the fort in front of me and think for a moment about how I'm going to jump from here. Two more transitions and I'll be able to get into the castle, but if possible, I want to get in without being seen by enemy soldiers.
　I'll use Long Sense to get my vision back. But there's nowhere to shift to because there are enemies everywhere. I'll have to go to a place with as few enemies as possible, take control of the area, and then connect the Gate.
　While switching viewpoints for a while, I look for a place with relatively few enemy soldiers. Eventually, I found just the right spot a little ways away from the side of the fort. This place would buy us some time if we could take out the two archers in front of us.

'Reload.

　The Remington New Model Army on his right hip is loaded with rubber bullets with "paralize", and the swordgun Brunhild behind his waist is loaded with live ammunition. It's a precaution when your opponent has a magical resistance protection.

''Gate.''

　He pulled out his New Model Army and transitioned behind the two enemy soldiers, into their blind spots. I took aim and fired a series of paralyzing bullets into the backs of both soldiers. Wow, even though I'm a bit of a coward........
　The two enemy soldiers were shot in the back and fell down, but instead of going paralyzed, they slowly stood up and drew their swords from their waists! What the hell, these guys!
　My surprise wasn't because the paralyzing bullets didn't work, but because I was surprised by the opponent's odd appearance. I was surprised by the opponent's odd appearance.
　Dressed in a Japanese style armor and sword in his hand, let's call that a good thing. However, the mask on his face gave it an odd appearance.
　The mask of a demon. A red demon with its horns stretched out and a look of rage on its face. Japanese armor had a kind of mask called a face-cheek, which protected the face from the chin to the cheek, but this was different. It was completely covered with the mask of a demon.
　What made it even more bizarre was that the uncovered parts of his armor and the skin peeking out from the gaps in his torn clothes were as red as his mask. It was as if the red demon itself was wearing a mask.
　At the other party's abnormality, I immediately holster my gun and pull out Brunhild from behind my waist this time. As it is, he shoots a series of live rounds into the leg of the one in front of him. First of all, you can't move. If possible, I don't want to kill someone.
　However, without regard to my feelings, that person, who was supposedly shot in the leg, did not hesitate to swing his sword and attack me. Watch out!

"Slip!

　The coefficient of friction underneath his feet goes to zero, and the enemy soldier who attacked him loses his balance and falls over. Good! Slip's the best!
　I stomped on the hand holding the sword with my left foot, making it immobile, and kicked him in the face with my right foot as hard as I could. The mask shattered and that's when he stopped moving.
　Are these guys...are they being controlled by a mask? Replacing Brunhild in his left hand, he again pulled out the New Model Army with his right hand and shot a rubber bullet into the mask of the other soldier holding his sword.
　The impact of the bullet striking him cracked the mask and it cracked in half beautifully. As soon as the mask fell to the ground, it collapsed to its knees and fell to the ground in a heap.

''What was that about, these guys........''

　He approaches the fallen soldier. Ugh, what's that smell.... Wait a minute, is this........dead? Don't tell me you're turning corpses into soldiers with those masks? You can't do that!
　Come to think of it, the guy who shot himself in the leg earlier didn't bleed much either. If he was already dead and his heart had stopped beating, that was understandable.

''Controlling corpses... is that the kind of thing you often see in games and such, like necromancers?

　I don't feel like a zombie soldier. Maybe it's because they're too agile, though. It's just awful to see these guys attacking us. I'd better get inside the fort and assess the situation before I make any countermeasures.
　Extend our vision into the fort with "Long Sense". We don't want them to think we're the enemy and attack us, so we don't want to be attacked. The best thing to do is to find Yae's brother and ask him to talk to us.
　 Black hair, black eyes, and a sword scar on his right cheek. He wore black armor and looked calm, but the way he carried himself was no ordinary man. His body was covered in blood returning to the ground and he was making a statement.

"Gate.

　If it suddenly appears in front of you, you might be startled and cut down, so keep the "gate" open and give it a pause. On the other side, the door of light should be in a state of appearance. Then slowly pass through the door and transition in front of Yae's brother.

''Ha! Who are you? Are you a Takeda hand?

　He held his sword at the ready, and Yae's brother who and what is coming. The soldiers around him also pointed their swords at him in unison.

''Wait. I'm not an enemy. Are you sure you're Kuju Yae's brother, Kuju Shigetaro?
'I am indeed Shigetaro.... How do you know Yae...?

　When Yae's name popped up from me, who held up his hand to tell him that I had no hostile intent, Shigetaro-san gave me a quizzical look.

''I'm her companion who met Yae in a country called Belfast. I'm here to help your brother as he is in danger.
Double!
'Yes, sir. She's close by. I'll call her with transition magic now, if that's alright?

　The soldiers around him buzzed and turned their gazes to Shigetaro-san. ''Yae-dono?'' Yaesu-dono is here? Judging from the words such as, "I'm not sure if they are students of the dojo," perhaps they are students of the dojo.
　Eventually, Shigetaro lowered his sword and slowly nodded his head.

''Gate.''

　A girl jumped out of my newly opened door of light. I looked around and stopped to look at Shigetaro, and with a quick glance, I rushed over and jumped into his chest.

''Brother!''
'Yae...? Is it really octuple?
Yes!

　Beside the siblings miss the reunion, Else and the others appear from the 'gate in a trickle.

'Who are those people?'
These are my friends, that they are. You are all very dependable people, that I am.

　It's somewhat embarrassing to hear that again.

But what about your brother and father? Are you safe?
Oh, you don't have to worry. Your father is guarding Master Ieyasu now. You can meet him later.

　An older brother talks softly to his sister, who is worried about her father. He's a picture, isn't he?
　But this situation is terrible. Looking around, there are injured people cowering all over the place, unable to move. It could be fatal if we don't do something about it.
　Okay, let's try that thing.
　I take out my phone and turn it on. I've enchanted "Multiple" in the Maps app, so all I need to do now is "Program".

"Start Program /
Activation condition: Touch the target on the screen/
Targeted acquisition: same targets in 'multiple' / 'multiple'
Program End

　Now you don't have to lock them one by one. Just touch one and you should be able to capture them all.
　Searching for "wounded" captures even the wounded of the enemy, so I search for "wounded of the Tokugawa army". Pins that indicate the targets fall one after another on the screen. There are quite a few of them. Pull the screen map to bring the entire fort into range.
　When I touch one of the targets to lock it, other targets are locked on the screen one after another. I look to the side and see a small magic circle floating above a wounded and cowering soldier. It's a "multiple" magic circle. Ready.

'Come light, restful healing, cure heal.

　Soft grains of light descend from the magic circle. Eventually, as it enveloped the injured, the wounds of the targeted people were quickly closing up and recovering.
　After a while, cheers were raised from all over the fort, and the injured soldiers in front of me were also standing up and moving their bodies in wonder.

''Hey ... what did you do? I know I cast a recovery spell, but I didn't think...
I've healed all the wounded in the fort. I'm glad it worked out.

　Leanne gave me a dumbfounded look at my words. Well, I kind of understand what you mean.

''The injured.......what is this.......?
"Lord Winterfellas' recovery spell, that it is.

　Yae said that to her brother, who rolled his eyes and looked around, and then turned his gaze towards me.

''It's just a closed wound, so please don't give it too much pressure. It won't return to the blood you've lost.
Oh, yeah, all right. I'll make sure you're notified.

　Shigetaro-san replies back to me, still feeling like he hasn't recovered from his surprise. For now, the wounded have been managed. The only thing left to do now is to deal with the enemy soldiers swarming the fort.
　Shall we go for a bit of a showdown?
