Chapter 420

And finally we arrived at the border fortifications of a country in our way to Silt Welt.

Currently we are observing from a distance inside a forest where we are able to see the fortifications .

How is it?

Going by feelings, then it looks to me as if the merchants are passing normally through the fortifications.

I dont sense anything suspicious but Eclair murmurs while frowning.

Looking at it, it doesnt look suspicious. But its odd, theres a strange lookout with sentries. Doesnt it seem like there aremore people inside than usual? I can slightly detect them from the window.

I also confirmed the places that Eclair pointed out.

Certainly, looking at it after being told, the number of people seems strangely more then normal.

Before the loop, there was no bounty on fili, but thats quite a lot of people.

Is, Is that so?

Just imagining itIt goes past wishful thinking.

Eclair murmurs that.

Silt Welts emissaries are similarly nodding.

How about transporting with a cart and passing through while the Hero of the Shield is hidden?

So smuggling out I dont think its a bad option, but thinkingabout Iwatani-donos current Lvl, when we get found out it will be pretty dangerous.

Certainly, they will tightly examine the luggage and such.

Thats right So what should we do?

Fili and co are talking while in a troubled manner.

Precisely during such times, its this Motoyasus turn!

Well then, I will go and and make sure what we observed before, everyone please stay hidden here.

Eh? Motoyasu-kun is going in alone? Wontit be dangerous?

By fili s sincerity, I was nothing but taken in.

SuddenlyI have afeeling of my tears flowing over like a waterfall.

Mo- Motoyasu-kun !? Whyre you crying?

Dont worry. My heart was only struck by fili s kindness.

Did I really say something strange!?

For some reason Eclair lets out a sigh.

Iwatani-dono, Im thinking that it would be for the best if we gotused to Kitamura-donos eccentricities before long.

Ahyeah, thats right, but thinking about if he would be alright letting him goalone

I dont think thats a problem, no matter how I look at him, Kitamura-dono holds unfathomable strength his personality is also unfathomable though.(TN: are you complimenting him or insulting him Eclair :p Oh btw Im in the NaoxEclair camp for this novel, of course NaoxRaph in the other)

I didnt really hear Eclairs last word properly.(TN: Ignorance is bliss, not sure if hes doing it on purpose though :p)

Filiseemingly having heard it, nodsin agreement.

Come to think of it, I have a feeling there were many times when fili was talking in whispers with Onee-san.

At first I found it uncomfortable when they started talking in whispers, if I think about it now, it was something important.

Probably.

Instead of letting Motoyasu-kun go in alone, wouldnt it be more certainto forceour way through with everyone?

Certainly I believe thats also an option, but based on the story, Kitamura-donos transfer ability can fly to aplace he has already been? In that case,if hecan pass through the fortifications without any problems and come back a

fter assigningthe transfer location then it would be alright.

I see! Even if im the target but Motoyasu-kun passes through then it wont matter.

There certainly was that option.

I can even store the portal location for the next loop, if theres a next loop then let me use this method.

What well do is defend Iwatani-dono and make sure we dont get found until Kitamura-dono has finished his business.

Understood.

Silt Welts emissaries nod too.

Even if for 1 hour, separating from fili is painful, but now is the time to fight!

Lets name this battle The battle of Melromarcs fortifications.

Displaying my war effort to fili, I will show what kind of loyal subject I am.

Then, I will be heading off. If anything happens just give a flashy sign while running away and Ill come over flying.

Okay.

Will take care of it.

Thus I started walking to the border fortifications.

Walking towards the border fortifications, I noticedthat the lookout became noisy.

Groups of soldiers started coming out from inside the fortification.

Hero of the Spear right! Wheres the Devil of the Shield!

Representing the soldiers Certainly from a long time ago in the first world, I hear the loud voice of the knight leader that Ive met several times.

When did he disappear, but to appear in this kind of place, whats this about?

I dont know. More importantlyI would like to pass through here.

Who would let you pass! Obediently tell us the whereabouts of the Devil of the Spear! Otherwise

The soldiers that can use magic started chanting group ritual magicfrom the back.

My body feels a high density magic field forming in the vicinity.

I remember it gives something like an Energy Boost in the vicinity.

Now! It would be best for you if you obediently tell us!

I wonder who would speak?

It seems theres no doubt that the ones that killed fili in the first loop are these guys.

Silt Welts emissaries probably tried to pass through normally but were killed after being found by these guys.

The fili from before the loop didnt defect to another country.

And thats why he survived is also a possibility.

For these guys, fili going to Silt Welt would be something bad.

I will say it one more time. Let me through, if not I will kill. If you let me through, I wont.

Hmph. Fool! False of the Spear! Prepare! Do it!
