When the Second and the others were struggling with the Wraith's tame.
　The anti-church force "Disart" is steadily preparing for a revolution.

　In the midst of all this, the main members of the Disate, led by their leader Brighton, hold a meeting with a map spread out on their desks.

'The conclave is early in the morning. Hence, the surprise attack should take place between dawn and early morning.
'Wait, wouldn't it be more effective to poke around in the conclave?
'No, we'd better set it off before Old Joe's guards freeze up. If it's dawn, morale should be low.
Any other suggestions?　At ......, the surprise attack is at dawn. Brighton, how do you do a surprise attack?
Let's take the northern route. It's Operation White Silver (・・・・).


　Operation White Silver, one of the methods of surprise that had been previously planned for the coming revolutionary day.

　This will only come into effect in winter. In the northern part of the Kamel Godland, especially in the mountains north of Ordrejo, snow falls in this season. Taking advantage of this advantage, all the members of the Disart donned a white cloak, and the strategy was to conceal themselves in the white snow and launch a surprise attack.

　In the spring, summer, fall and winter, the dithers have been living in the mountains in hiding, or the soldiers who haven't fought a war-like battle in decades. It's not hard to imagine who is more skilled.

　However, the D'Zato are less than a thousand men in total, a mishmash of the oppressed. It was inconceivable that they would be able to compete with the Church of Kamel, which has an army of ten thousand.


　But ...... if they can attack all of the Conclave, that is a different story.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make a difference by destroying the Pope and the cardinals that flatter him, no matter what the cost.

　The Pope and the cardinals are all here in one place. If we aim here, there is one possibility in all. On the contrary, there is no chance for a revolution except for this place.

　Therefore, we are now ready to rise to the occasion, desperately desperate and desperate.


"............

　Brighton gazes sadly at the ring on the end of the necklace dangling from his chest in the palm of his hand.

　It is his wife's ring, now deceased. His wife, his children, his father and mother, they were all - killed. Only Brighton and his brother (...) are still alive in the family.

　...... He meditated and squeezed the ring. Then he took one deep breath.


　Most of those who arrive here in Dysart are holding something as deep and sad as Brighton.

　For their sake and for my own, I must avenge the disappointment of the departed.
　The revolution must come at any cost.


　The time has come...







Brother!　They're over there too!

　There is an old saying.
　People who are new to driving are the most likely to cause a car accident--


"Plum!　Don't get cocky!　That's too much!
Huh?

　Plum holds the 《Infantry Archery》 as before. However, the situation was different from the past. Plum was too far forward.

　Before Plum could shoot an arrow, the demons noticed the existence of two people. They were demons called Madaradier. It is a demon with a noxious spotted body and a large antlered deer-like appearance, with quick movements.

''Tch......!''

　With a single click of his tongue, Just instantly prepared the 《Infantry Archery》 and released it before the dumbfounded Plum. A blow that he decided he didn't have the time to investigate whether it was a Wraith or not, etc.

''Gahhhh!

　Hit. Madaradier takes a critical hit with an arrow to the left shoulder and changes his target from Plum to Just. Sure enough, Madaradier was the real thing.

'Plum!　Get back!
Ugh. Ugh!

　Plum runs and retreats at Just's command. It was just the wrong way to give that command. He should have said, "Retreat.

'You idiot, you're not!
What?

　Plum was stupidly honest and went straight (・・・・) back to Just. As for Just, this is a scene where I wanted him to drop back while being out of the line of fire. It is common sense for anyone involved in [archery] to not interfere with the line of fire, but Plum was not yet equipped with that common sense. It was just that.

''Kuso!

　The chase was bewildering.
　In the meantime, Madaradier was right in front of Plum and Just.

　The moment Plum retreated to the side, Just unleashed the 《Silver General Archery》 that he had prepared.


''Ah, yikes!''


　Madaradier fluttered and ducked the flying arrows.

　When dealing with a fast-moving demon, this is the kind of thing that keeps an archer on his toes. This is why the distance between you and the monster is so important.

''Kukaku...... Oraaah!

　Just then immediately prepared the Infantry Archery and shot at Madaradier at zero distance.
　Madaradier was on the verge of being hit by Just's blow when he launched a body strike, and both sides were hit by both attacks almost simultaneously.

　The 《Infantry Archery》 was a critical hit to the head, and Madaradier was killed instantly. However, it seemed that the judgement of the body hit at the point of death was still firmly in place, and Just took a direct hit and blew backwards.


''Brother-ii!

　Plum shouts at Just, who falls to the ground three meters behind him with a thud.

　It's his own fault, he says. Regret hits him. But 80% of the time, it's Just's fault for bringing him here. Hence, tonight they will be scolded severely by Yukari side by side.


　Plum rushed over to Just with a half-hearted cry.

　Just was passed out (stunned) on his back in a large figure. Mevion's stun effect manifests itself at 6.25% of the time when a strong impact is applied to his head. Probably, he had hit his head hard when he was blown up and fell. And unfortunately, he had hit the stun lottery.


''Brother!　Brother!　Are you okay?　So, yeah, potions at ......!


　There is an old saying that goes, "When you're not on your game, you're not on your game.
　When you're not on your game, you're not on your game.


"Ah.

　Plum took out the provided state malfunction potion from his own inventory.

　But perhaps because his hands were trembling, he dropped it in a pile.

"Well, wait. Hey!

　The potion rolls down the hill. Plum chases after it.


'Whoa!'


　--Suddenly, the foothold was gone.


　The destination of the potion rolled over was a cliff.

　By the time he noticed, it was too late. Plum's body had been completely thrown off the cliff.


''Whoa!


　We're going down!　Plum had a hunch that, right after--



''...... ......!''
She says she can't help you at all, sir.


　With a bad-tempered voice, Plum's body was bound by a thread (.) in a whirlwind.

　It was a rescue by the skill to bind opponents within a 4-meter radius with thread, the 《Gold General Thread Manipulation》 - Luna, an assassin belonging to Eve's squad.


"Ugh, geez, ...... ah, thank you very much, iggiii!

　Plum is suspended from a cliff by a string. It was a very tight restraint, but due to the circumstances, I can't complain, even though I can thank him.

'...... ah ......!'
I'm afraid I mustn't waste the potion my master gave me, sir.

　Eve, on the other hand, was tangling a potion that must have fallen off the cliff with a thread.
　Her own body was dangling from a tree that was growing out of the cliff, again by thread.


'Geez!　...... ouch, thank you very much. Ouch. ......

　Luna yanked at the strings with a guffaw and threw Plum's body roughly over the cliff. Plum bruised all over his body, but it was no big deal considering his life was saved, so he thanked her again.

　Next, Eve threw a state recovery potion using centrifugal force to the top of the cliff. Crispy, Luna caught it and all is well. It seemed like the pinch had been escaped .......


　Mississippi ...... and. The tree Eve was hanging from made a disgusting noise.


'!

　Luna, who instantly understood the situation, instantly stretched her strings to restrain Eve.

　Eve also looked for a place to hold onto other than that tree.


　But she couldn't get there in time.


''Huh ......!''


　Mekki Mekki!　And with a loud noise, the tree - broke.


　Eve was thrown into the air and fell helplessly.

　...... The cliff was quite high. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get the best out of it.


　Hence. I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world.

　Plum pulled her hand.

'What ......!'
I'm fine.

　Luna expresses her anger. After causing so much trouble, this guy is ...... and on top of this. But even after receiving such an accusing look, Plum continued to speak to reassure Luna.

'I called you. So, I'm sure it's fine.

　Plum had already called when the trees creaked.

　Eve was about to fall off the cliff, in a team-only communication.





'...... oo...... oo......!

　Seconds to the ground. Eve was in a strange sensation, as if a second felt like ten or twenty seconds. And all the while, she was desperately trying to figure out how to soften the impact of her landing.


　But then, suddenly, my thoughts disappeared. Fear, an emotion she hadn't felt in a long time, took over her mind.


　It would be very painful. Worst case scenario, she could die. The worst thing that could happen was that she would die.

　She wondered if Luna, who had said she couldn't feel fear, would be able to deal with it calmly in a situation like this - she wondered. A moment after she gave up everything and thought about something unnecessary.


　Buriously, I felt the presence of a shadow swelling up behind me.

　Then, something softly wrapped around Eve's body.



''--Don't bite your tongue, don't bite it.''
"............ and ......


　A dream or an illusion? That's what spoke in Eve's ear, the Second First Test, the Lord she served.

　She would never forget the sight of that moment for the rest of her life.

　She looked up from his chest and saw a halo of light on his face.
　She had never looked directly at the sun before, but this was the first time in her life she had seen it.

　How cool she was, she thought. She felt this from the bottom of her heart. Just like a knight himself, dashing to the princess's pinch. This is the knightly tale I read in the dimly lit dungeon when I was a child. A beautiful recreation with sweet numbness, as if she were now a character in that story that she had admired so much and had given up on.

　At this time, she did indeed fall. Even as she fell, she fell.
　To what it would be tactless to say, "To what?



　　* * * *.



　Well.

　What is this?
　This is a hell of a situation.

　What should I do...

　Even if I landed like this, well, it would probably hurt, but I'm not going to die.
　But I don't mind, but the last thing I need is for innocent servants to get hurt.

　Hence, we need to nullify the fall damage for two people.
　There are five main methods that I know of.

　1. Maximize the value of the equipment's "Falling Damage Resistance".
　Two, use the invincibility time of "Transformation" for 8 seconds.
　3. Use a "skill that automatically starts a specific motion after it is activated" right before landing.
　4, Log out of the game just before landing, and then log in.
　V. Activate the Riding skill within a 2 meter radius of the riding unit just before landing.

　There is only a fifth method that can be chosen at this moment in time, and it is the only one that satisfies the two-player requirement.


'Anko, Transformation.'
As you wish.

　These decisions are made in less than a second.

　It was mostly a "gut feeling".

　As soon as I thought that I had fallen off the cliff, I had already given the order for the Dark Transformation to take place. The human brain is such a mysterious thing, and even though I was falling, I was still a little impressed.

　It's the same with the moment they shifted. I understand with my senses now that the anko has transmigrated to the shadow of Eve reflected in the cross section of the cliff and summoned me to the back of her without a moment's pause. How can you grasp so much in this one moment, I admire my own brain.

　Looking back, the fact that Mr. Pru-Pru wrote in his communication that I was about to fall off a cliff is a very positive thing. The reason I'm able to understand the situation so easily is probably because of him.



...... kya!

　I got used to it, and when I landed on her back, I heard a short scream from Eve, who was holding the princess.

　Maybe she was scared. No, it's scary, isn't it?

　Because a mysterious phenomenon that defies the laws of physics has just occurred right in front of my eyes, which defies the laws of physics, so that I can't help but wonder where all that energy that was falling at such an incredible speed has gone. If so, I'm sure I'll scream or scream, because I've experienced it myself.


　Now, we are calmly straddling the back of a wolf-shaped anko, as if the fact that just a second ago we had fallen off a cliff was a lie.

　The mechanism was simple. As soon as the 《Horse Riding》 skill was activated, the starting position of the fall was reset. That's all.

　By the way, regardless of whether the target riding unit was a horse, flying dragon or dark wolf, the skill to ride and control it was 《Riding》. How is riding a horse when it's not a horse?


''Anko, that's enough!''

　I landed safely at the bottom of the cliff, so I ordered Anko to transform again.
　Anko reverts back to her human form with a bang and snuggles up to me.

"U...... I can't move. ......

　The place has little shade, so it seems to have been exposed to the sunlight.

　I thanked him and told him to take a rest for a while, and sent him back. It's really a wonderful job. I'll have to think of some kind of reward for that.

You're a disaster.
Oh, ...... ......
Hmm?　Yeah, don't worry about it. Well, these things happen.
......! ......!
'Are you relieved?　If you want to cry, you can cry. Unfortunately, this is the only place available, though.

　I jokingly say it to calm her down, and Eve nuzzles her face into my chest and starts to cry quietly.

　In the meantime, I'll send a team-only communication to say "rescue successful". I'm sure Luna and Purpur will be worried about me.

　...... Huh?　Come to think of it, I could hear what Eve was saying in a strange way. Is it because we're so close?


Oh, .........
'Oh, that's enough. You're back early, you're blushing ......?

　I'm not going to be able to get rid of it," he said, and looked up at Eve, but when he looked closely at her cheeks, ears, and neck, he could see that the white skin of her hands had been dyed bright red. I'm sure you'll find a lot of people who are interested in this. I can assure you, this guy never settles down.

I will not say anything bad, so stay like this for a while, okay?
...... ......
Okay?
.......

　Arguably, she keeps her princess embrace intact.

　It's "no way" that she, the most battle-hardened and taciturn maid of the servants, would be so distraught just by falling "headlong" off a cliff.


　...... Oh, that, it's getting cold all of a sudden.

　Eve is still shivering, too. Maybe it's not a shiver of relief, but simply cold.

　That's both a good and bad thing about this world, this temperature of experience. It wasn't hot or cold in Mevion, so it's ...... better to mend your equipment as cool as possible for the summer title fight.


'Hmm ......?　Oops.

　As I'm looking around the area and thinking about it, I spot a side hole on the other side that looks like it will keep out the winter breeze. I walk over there with Eve in my arms.

　It must be so cold in winter, it must be hard on the animals. I wonder if they're hibernating or something.


............


　...................


　........................ hibernation?


　No way. No.... I don't think so.

　A demon hibernating?　Do you want to?　Usually.


　Wait until you go to ....... A giant karate monkey, or Madaladier, is a demon modeled after a monkey and a deer, right?　Do monkeys and deer hibernate?

　I mean, what about the rest of the demons?　What about Judo Bear?　What about the Huntenlizard?　Come to think of it, I haven't seen him once in the last six days.


　What's the model for Reyes?　A ghost?　Urban legend?　Doppelganger?　Ah, .......


　............ chameleon?



...... Yves, look at that.
...... ......?
We got it. That's a big find.

　Deep in the side hole we entered.
　In a natural bed of dirt and dead leaves, the Hanten Lizards were huddled together, sleeping in a natural bed of dirt and dead leaves.

　Among them...three, no, four, five of them. The funny ones (・・・・・・) mingled with each other.

　A giant karate monkey and a madaradier. For some reason, they were sleeping next to the Huntsman Lizard.


　You guys are not the ...... demons that hibernate like reptiles like that, are you?


These five, they're wraiths. No wonder we couldn't find them. They're overwintering in a place like this: ......!
