37.クレブスクルム解放戦線その6
助けた姉妹たちがなにやら手作りのペンダントを作ってくれました。不思議な生き物を象った物なんですが、普通に司教から奪った物よりも高性能だったので素直に戴いて三田さんを移しておきます。
そうこうしているうちにロン老師に呼ばれたので、会議室に移動している最中です。会議と言っても最終確認のようなものらしいですが........................。
「............めっちゃ見られてますね」
「カッカッカッ、どうやら好かれたらしいな? 」
まぁ、確かにこの二日間せがまれましたので子どもたちと遊びましたけど......ニアさんと恐縮するメアさんと遊んでたら遠巻きにしてた子どもたちがそれを見てワラワラ寄ってきたんですよねぇ。なので積み木や肉の解体の仕方なんかも教えてただけなんですけど、妙に懐かれてしまいました。
「良いことじゃて、警戒心の強くなってしまった子どもたちと仲良くなれる者はそう多くない」
「そうですか? 」
私小さな子にあまり良い思い出ありませんけどね? まぁ、そうですね............悪い気は、しないです。
「そうじゃて。......さて、ここじゃ」
どうやら着いたみたいですね、船の船長室を会議室として使っているみたいです。促されるままユウさんと一緒に入っていきます。
▼▼▼▼▼▼▼
「皆の者、集まっておるな? 」
レーナという娘とユウという小僧を伴って会議室に入っていく。見ればここに集まった皆が覚悟の決まった顔をしておる............ここに居る何人が生き残れるやら。
「......大丈夫なようじゃな、これより作戦会議を始める」
そうして会議の開始を宣言し、詳細を煮詰めていく。
「まずロノウェとそこのレーナという娘が今回の主力兼本命じゃ。この二人が本丸を落とす前に街を混乱させ衛兵共を我らで足止めする、これは確定じゃ」
「......ロノウェ殿はわかりますが、そこの女の子が、ですか? 」
ふむ、見れば他の者も大小あれ不安や困惑の表情を隠し切れておらん。
「案ずるでない、この娘は少なくともあの四人より確実に強く、下手したらロノウェと同等以上の実力者じゃ」
「っ?! まさか?!! 」
皆一様に驚いておるな、驚愕の眼差しで娘を見ておる。まぁ、真に驚くべきはその様な眼差しを大人数から向けられてなお首元のペンダントを弄っておる娘の胆力か......。
「じゃから安心せい、それよりも他に意見がある者はおるか? 」
「では、私から。四人のうち二人は、決行予定日に広場にて反抗した奴隷を見せしめにするためのショーをするために出張るようです」
「ふむ、であるならば......レーナとやらそちらは任せてよいかね? 当初は二人で行動してもらうつもりだったが............」
「私は別に構いませんよ? むしろ一人の方が気楽です」
さすがと言うべきか頼りになる娘じゃな。これで混沌に属しておらねば......子どもたちからも好かれておるし、本当に残念じゃ.........。
「では、概ね当初予定していた計画に変更はないでよいな? 」
「『はい! 』」
ふむ、良さそうじゃな? ならば後はそうじゃな............。
「一応聞くが、この中に統率や鼓舞といったスキルを持っておる者はおらんか? 先遣隊が混乱を起こしている間に、本陣にて戦闘員に対して演説を行ってもらいたいのじゃが............」
ワシの言葉にみんな黙ってしまう、さすがに望み過ぎたか――――
「――――それなら両方進化スキルを持っていますよ? 」
――――この娘は本当に底が知れんのぉ......斥候や暗殺者の類かと思っておったがな?
「......そうか、ではそれも頼んでよいか? 幸い広場は領主館よりも近い、多少遅れても問題無かろう」
「えぇ、構いません」
「すまぬな......それでは他に何か意見のある者は.........おらぬな。ではこれで会議を終了する、決行は明日じゃ!! 」
「これより我らクレブスクルム解放戦線は自由の身となるため戦うぞ!! 」
長かった隷属の時代はようやく終わるかも知れん......いや、終わらせる。少なくとも我らの代で......これからこの左頬の印は隷属ではなく自由、早さではなく速さの象徴に戻る!!
Chapter 37 - Krebskulm Liberation Front (Part 6)
The sisters I had helped gave me some kind of hand-made pendant. It was decorated with a strange creature, but as it had better stats than the thing I took from the bishop, I accepted it gladly and put the old one away.
Shortly after, Sage Ron came to call us. We were currently moving towards the meeting room. Though, it seemed like it was mostly about confirming a few final details...
"... People are really staring."
"Hahaha. I guess they've become fond of you?"
Well, it was true that the children had pestered me into playing with them during the last two days... I had been playing with Nia and the more hesitant Mea, and then the children saw us and came forward. With no other choice, I taught them about building blocks and butchering meat. And now they seem to like me.
"It's a good thing, though. It's rare for people to be able to get close to children who have become very guarded."
"Is that so?"
I don't really have any good memories attached to small children, you know? But, well... I don't exactly hate it now.
"This is it."
Apparently, we had arrived. The captain's room was being used for meetings. And so Yuu and I entered as we were told.
******
"Is everyone here?"
The girl called Rena and the guy called Yuu entered the meeting room. A quick glance showed that everyone present had expressions that showed that they were prepared... How many of them would survive?
"... It seems like it. Now, we will start the war council."
I declared, and we went over the details.
"First, Ronove and Rena over here will be our main force. Before these two take the castle, we will create confusion in the town and stop the guards. This has already been decided."
"... I know who Ronove is, but who is that girl?"
Hmm. Judging by their expression, the others were quite worried.
"Do not fear. She is at least stronger than those four. In fact, she may be just as strong as Ronove, if not stronger."
"Surely not!?"
They were all so surprised. They looked at the girl with wide eyes. Well, what was really surprising was her boldness. She was being stared at by so many people and yet she was more interested in the pendant around her neck...
"So, do not worry. Now, does anyone else have any opinions?"
"I do. I heard that out of the four, two will go out to the town square in order to put on a show with the slaves that rebelled."
"Hmm. In that case... Can I rely on you, Rena? I had initially planned for the two of you to move together..."
"I don't mind. If anything, it's easier when I'm alone."
She really was a reliable girl. If she wasn't so close to chaos... and even the children like her... it really is too bad...
"So then, are we all in agreement that there will be no changes to our initial plans?"
"Yes!"
Hmm. Seems to be fine? In that case...
"I'm asking just in case, is there anyone here who has skills like Leadership and Encouragement? While the advance party is causing chaos, I want someone to give a speech to the fighters..."
Everyone remained silent. Perhaps I was asking for too much...
"... If that's what you want, I have both skills."
... Does this girl have no limits...? I thought she was just a Scout or an Assassin type?
"... I see. Then can I rely on you? Thankfully, the town square is closer than the lord's house. So it won't be a problem if you're a little late."
"Yes, that's fine."
"Thank you... Now, if anyone had anything to say... no, I see that no one does. Well, the meeting will end then. We start tomorrow!!"
"We will fight at the Krebskulm Liberation Front in order to be free!!"
This might be the end of the long age of subordination... No, it will be. At last, in our generation... From now on, this mark on my left cheek will once again be a symbol of freedom and speed, not hurrying!
