106

The fire arrow that began to fly, leaving behind a red halo, was filled with speed and heat.

It was a magic that was truly imbued with evil power.

Compared to the giant arrow, the light-emitting spear looked shabby.

But the numbers were much larger.

Six feet.

It was the number of spears fired to block a single fire arrow. That was how the skills of the two people clashed.

Bam!

Bam!

The order of precedence was quickly determined.

Perhaps because of the mix of original and hybrid drive modes, the Fire Arrow was moving forward, breaking through the oncoming spears.

Although it continued to lose power as it collided with windows, it still had enough power to burn a person.

But there was no confusion in Erciel’s eyes.

From the beginning, you probably guessed that this attack wouldn’t be able to stop the fire arrows.

Besides, her specialty was not offense, but solid defense.

The moment when the fire arrow quickly approaches.

A magnificent shield of light rose up in front.

The shield was filled with a light even more brilliant than the spear he had shot out earlier.

That’s how the arrows and shields clashed.

Phew!

A huge flame burst out around her.

At that sight, the eyes of the swordsman watching from a corner of the training ground widened.

“her……”

“……Is he……by any chance dead?”

“Surely…… If that were the case, Lord Leonhard would have moved.”

That was right.

If we had judged it to be dangerous, Leonhard and I would have moved immediately.

I just didn’t move because it didn’t look dangerous at all.

The guy who was smiling while firing the fire arrow also seemed to notice that, and his expression gradually hardened.

You must have had a gut feeling that you couldn’t get through the shield.

Even in magic, there exists something called a “taste”.

In a case like this, the feeling of magic fading away powerlessly, blocked by a strong shield, would have been conveyed.

‘It’s definitely solid.’

It seemed like it would take at least four hits to break through it with a mixed-action magic. To break through it in one hit.

‘I think we’ll have to use the in-game driving method.’

The shield of light seemed that strong.

A spear of light rose from the flames and flew towards Iris.

“……Aqua Shield!”

The guy who activated the 2nd circle defensive magic in an instant blocked the attack.

Thud!

Thud!

As the two continued their duel, the little boy’s expression began to harden.

* ? ?* ? ?*

A spectacular showdown with plenty to catch the eye.

The confrontation lasted about fifteen minutes.

The kid who consistently used double casting to cast magic was quite skilled, but Ersiel, who unwaveringly blocked the attacks despite such attacks, was even more impressive.

Even though both of them were similar in terms of pure talent, the reason why the results were so different was simple.

‘Because the summoned spirit is so good.’

If my maid had summoned an ordinary high-level spirit, it would have been difficult to block Iris’s attack so easily. The class whose skills and potential all depend on which spirit is summoned in the beginning is the spirit master.

If a brat wants to be on equal terms with my maid, he’ll need to achieve at least 4 circles.

In the end, the shield of light was not broken until Iris’s mana was completely depleted.

“Ugh…….”

Perhaps because he had used up all the mana in his body, the little boy’s face was pale.

If I squeezed just a little more mana out of him, he might experience a magical exhaustion.

“stop.”

I saw the guy and came to a conclusion.

“Young-ae. The match is over.”

At those words, the little girl looked at the maid.

A shield of light that still trembles as if it has strength left even after blocking countless magic attacks.

The guy who saw that bowed his head.

You will notice that it is impossible to break through that shield with the remaining mana.

“……I lost.”

The declaration of surrender was made.

Then Erciel approached her and bowed his head.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“…….”

Little one.

This is not the time to be feeling irritated.

“Since you lost the bet, I think it’s time to change your title.”

“……I know.”

Just knowing it wasn’t enough.

We need to apply it to real life.

“Then call me. Sister.”

“…….”

“You promised, didn’t you?”

“……Sister.”

Erciel looked surprised, as if he hadn’t expected her to say that.

Did you really think of him as a proud nobleman?

‘It’s not wrong… … but it’s not 100% right either.’

It was true that this little brat was extremely strong towards the weak.

But he didn’t act that way even to the strong.

If I had to describe it, I would say it is petit bourgeois.

“I hope you get along well from now on. Erciel, you too, think of me as a comfortable younger sibling from now on. You’ll be seeing Youngae often.”

“……How could I.”

“You didn’t come here just to hear my sister’s voice?”

“It wasn’t necessarily for that reason that we fought.”

“Anyway, I was thinking about it. If it’s really difficult, why don’t you just do it in private?”

It would have been sufficient to call him that in private.

After all, this was just a condition put in place to sort out the order of the two people.

The boy, who had been pondering my words for a long time, looked at the little boy.

“……Yeah. Little brother.”

That was a really awkward answer.

The little boy shivered slightly upon hearing the answer, but did not add anything.

I guess he kind of acknowledged it.

It may be awkward now, but your relationship will gradually improve as time passes.

That’s how the two people’s rankings were arranged.

* ? ?* ? ?*

After the duel is over.

There was a call from Abel.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

It must be to talk about the expedition that is leaving in two days.

Currently, most of the major and minor affairs of the Marquis are being handled by Abel, who has become the official successor.

Remton was also involved, but most of the work was left to him unless it was really important.

Abel was handling matters related to Prinus.

It was also said that it was not a matter of such importance that the Marquis should be directly involved.

So, Abel must have full authority.

The road to introspection.

There was a person following me.

It was Iris.

“Why are you taking me with you?”

“I think it’s time to tell my older brother. He doesn’t know yet that Young-ae is going to war.”

All he knew was that Iris was staying longer than usual.

Now it was time to let her know that she was also participating in this battle.

So, the little boy and I entered Abel’s office together.

Abel looked at Iris and slightly lowered his head.

“Kyle…? Oh, nice to meet you. Youngae.”

“hello.”

So Abel, Iris, and I sat down. Abel’s gaze was fixed on Iris.

“By the way, why is Yeong-ae……?”

“You said you wanted to participate in the Yeongjijeon.”

“……Is that what Yeong-ae is saying?”

“yes.”

Abel began to worry at my words.

Iris.

She was the youngest daughter of Count Neiron, and a girl who grew up in a very noble manner. If she were to participate in a battle and get injured, it would be quite a difficult situation for us as well. That’s why she must be worried.

“I will protect Youngae, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

“……Has Young-ae also made up her mind?”

“……Yes. I decided to participate.”

“If you don’t mind, could you tell me why?”

What was in Abel’s eyes as he asked the question was curiosity.

The little boy wiggled his fingers in response to his question.

The silence did not last long.

“I heard that becoming a battle mage requires a lot of combat experience. Sir Kyle happened to be talking to me about Prinus… and it seemed like a good opportunity for me, so I decided to join.”

It seemed like he didn’t even want to say anything about the contract.

‘but.’

If you want to reveal that, you’ll have to reveal some of the provisions, but you probably don’t want to reveal things like how you have to be kind to your subordinates.

At her words, Abel’s gaze naturally turned to me.

There was a look in his eyes that asked if he had brought up the topic of Prinus.

“Young-ae is right.”

“Even though Prinus is a medium-sized city, I can’t guarantee Youngae’s safety since it’s a war.”

“Leonhard and I will do our best to protect Youngae. Also, Youngae’s escort knight is an exceptionally skilled knight. So, the unfortunate incident you are thinking of will never happen.”

“Hmm…… If you say so……”

Abel, who had been thinking for a moment, met Iris’ eyes.

“Young-ae.”

“……yes.”

“I understand why Young-ae wants to participate, but war is not something that can be easily accepted. You will see many cruel scenes. Even considering that, do you still want to participate?”

“……I want to participate.”

The answer was half decided, because if you don’t participate you’ll get a stomachache.

“If Young-ae wants it so badly… I understand. I will arrange for you to be placed under Kyle.”

Iris tilted her head at those words.

“Have you already decided on a unit?”

“The formation is mostly complete. The expedition is scheduled to begin in two days.”

“……That’s fast.”

“Didn’t Kyle tell you?”

“No. I told you…… But doesn’t it usually take a long time to prepare for something like this? It hasn’t even been that long since the rebellion ended……”

“You don’t need much preparation to deal with a Prinus. That’s true even if we took a lot of damage.”

“…….”

Those words weren’t arrogance, they were just reality.

I don’t know if the viscount had any hidden forces, but as far as I know, there weren’t any.

“Has the commander been decided?”

“Craft Lord will take overall command. Duke will be his deputy.”

Experienced.

Following the appointment of Craft, who had immense skills, as the commander-in-chief, Duke was chosen to assist him.

Originally, it would have been impossible for Duke to have this level of status in this battle.

‘It would have been best to take charge of a single regiment-sized unit of about a thousand soldiers.’

But now things are a little different.

This was because he had strongly appealed to Abel about Duke, citing the need for experience.

‘If you raise them well.’

When the question mark surrounding the guy’s talent is revealed, it could be a huge hit.

In preparation for that time, I had planned to build a good relationship with Duke in advance. That was also the reason why I appealed to Abel.

What if you found out that you were assigned to the position of deputy commander thanks to me?

‘Your favorability rating will go up naturally.’

There, experiencing the act of war together and building a strong camaraderie was a bonus.

Since Craft, a seasoned top-class knight, is the commander in chief, he will be able to control Duke even if he makes a mistake.

The little boy asked a question to Abel’s words.

“Then Sir Kyle…….”

“Oh, Kyle has agreed to take on the staff position.”

“……Staff?”

“yes.”

The guy tilted his head at his answer.

Usually, the staff was entrusted to experienced, seasoned knights or civil servants who were skilled in strategy and tactics.

You might be thinking, “Am I that kind of person?”

By that standard, I can confidently say that I was the best staff member.

I have had numerous experiences.

From small-scale battles to massive-scale wars.

Although my status was different each time, I experienced countless battles vividly.

Putting the experience into practice wasn’t that difficult.

That’s why I strongly requested Abel to include me as his staff member.

Then Abel took out a map and pointed to Prinus.

“I guess it’s time to declare war on the territory.”

“There is no need for that.”

Usually, when attacking another territory, you would first declare a territorial war and then move your troops.

But now there was no need to do that.

“You don’t have to declare it.”

“……Are you just talking about sending out the army?”

“Yes, that would be better.”

“If that happens, the other families will definitely not stay still……”

“Six days. Just delay it by that much. Then it will be easier to capture the Count.”

Abel tilted his head at my words.
