「もうイグニトール継承戦争って始まってたんだね」
「早い話、小競り合いってとこだな」
王城から出た俺達は街の外へ向かっている。
』の指揮下に入るNPC民兵は、街の外に出ると兵舎からもらえるからだ。
既に
「継承戦争のルールは意外と単純でしたわね」
「双方の代表者NPCのキル、もしくは重大な拠点を3つ落とした方の勝利でありんすね」
反乱軍の代表者はハーディ伯爵とグランゼ公爵、こちらはイグニトール姫。
敵方が二人に対し、王家側は一人。一見、不利に見えるこのバランスには理由があり、イグニトール姫は敵の代表二人よりも強いらしい。
「天士さま! どんどん拠点を奪っていきましょう!」
「おー! ミナちゃんやる気だね!」
「お姉さんたちも頑張るからね?」
「はいっ! よろしくです!」
敵の重要な拠点となる場所がいくつかあり、そこを奪い取れば良い。逆にこちらの拠点を三つ奪われたら負け。最初は要人をキルした方が早いと踏んでいたけど......姫からもらった地図を見れば、グランゼ伯爵が居を構える城に行きつくまでには、膨大な敵と施設を相手にしなければならないとわかり、拠点を落とすという方針に決定したのだ。
「総員、天使大将閣下に敬礼!」
いざ街の外へ出陣しようとしていたら、道の両脇を固める一団から号令が飛んだ。
何事かと両サイドを見れば、軍服もどきの装備で統一された
「天使大将閣下、このRF4you! 友軍を率いて参上したであります! タロ閣下におかれましては、ご壮健でなによりであります」
見事な訓練が施されているのか、誰も微動だにしない。
そんな中、ただ一人の小柄な少年が俺の前まで歩み寄り、胸に手を当てながら頭を垂れた。
「お、おう......ユ、RF4youも元気そうで良かった......」
リア友にしてクラスメイトのユウジだった。
そういえば合流する算段だったのを忘れていた。
「おお、そのようなお言葉をかけて頂き、恐悦至極であります。タロ閣下、あつかましい願いではありますが......もしよろしければ、ここに集った勇壮たる
しい表情だったけど、瞳だけはギラギラ輝いていて明らかに何かを期待している。そんな様子を見せつけられれば、何か言わないといけない気がする。
「みなさん、よく集まってくれました。苦しい戦いになるかもしれませんが、一緒にがんばりましょう」
不利な形勢だと知っていながら、ユウジを含めこれだけの人が集まってくれたのだ。愛想笑いの一つでも浮かべよう。
「「「サァーイェッサー!」」」
俺の一言に、地を揺るがしかねない凄まじい返答が響く。
一目で彼らの士気が極限まで跳ね上がったのを肌で感じる。
「ゆ、RF4you......なんだか凄い人達を集めて来てくれたんだね......ありがとう」
「タロ閣下の招集命令であらば、喜んで馳せ参じるであります!」
そう言ってユウジはねっとりと俺を見つめ、次にミナやゆらちー、シズクちゃん、アンノウンさんやリリィさんに視線を運ばせた。
「それにこのような美少女達と戦線で肩を並べられるなど、スクショ班の任務もはかどるであります!」
いや、それは辞めようぜ。と、俺が言いかける前に尖った声がユウジに
「ほう? それは一体誰の事を盗撮すると言っているんだ?」
俺とユウジの間に忽然と姿を現した姉に、その場の誰もが驚く。漆黒の渦が姉の足元から吐き出され、それは空中で霧散していくエフェクトをまき散らす。
「万が一にも私の太郎を無断で撮ろうとしたなら、命はないぞ」
これにはさすがのユウジも肝が冷えただろうと思ってみたら、あいつの顔はなぜか嬉しそうに恍惚としていた。
「邪魔だ。失せろ」
ひどく冷たい視線でユウジを見下ろす姉。
しかし、ユウジはハッとなって俺と姉を交互に見返し、なぜか俺を背に隠すような立ち位置で、姉に対峙し始めた。まるで俺を庇おうとしているかのような動きだ。
「消されたいのか? 少年」
酷く不愉快だと言わんばかりに、綺麗な姉の顔に青筋が走る。
「我らが天使閣下の御身を、不用意に危険にさらすわけにはいかないのであります」
そんなユウジの一言に、敬礼をしていた
太郎が、私と話すのに何の問題がある?」
この物言いにユウジがピクリと眉を動かす。
「貴女からは危険な匂いがするであります。判断基準は、戦場で培った感とでも言えばわかるでありますか?」
「面白い事を言う。自らこそ最も危険な存在だと、どうして自覚できない? お前らのような陳腐な集団が、太郎を取り囲んでいる方が危険だと私は思うのだけど。醜悪にして醜聞ね、私の太郎の品格そのものを貶めているのよ」
「我らはタロ閣下の招集に応じて集った者であります。我らの品格を問うならば、我らにお声がけしてくださった、天使閣下の品格そのものを問う行為でありますな。如何にタロ閣下と親密な間柄であろうとも、尊きタロ閣下の所有権を豪語するなど、危険極まりない存在であります」
「ふふふ......私の事を脅威と認識するなら、なぜ自分から危険に飛び込もうとしている。お前は馬鹿なのか? 迅速な戦闘態勢への移行には感心するが、
「これ以上の侮辱は控えるであります。我らは天使閣下にふさわしい部隊であるために、血の滲むような鍛錬と訓練を重ねてきたであります! これ以上の流言蜚語は敵対行為とみなすであります」
「おもしれぇ、やってみろよ。なぁ
そう問われ、俺自身も体が一歩も動けなくなった事に気付く。
これは......もしかして、さっき姉が放出していた黒い渦が関係しているのか?
「おめぇら、集中砲火あびるか?」
街の建物、高所から10人程の
「たった3秒動けなくなるだけの、時限式行動阻害アビリティ」
「発動してから時間差で範囲内にいる
説明が始まる頃には俺達の金縛りが解ける。
だが、誰もがその場を動こうとはしない。いや、できない。
下手な動きを見せれば、ユウジ達を狙っている傭兵がいつ攻撃を放ってくるかわからない状況だからだ。いともたやすく生殺与奪を握って来る、対人戦で名の通った
「ま、戦闘中じゃこのたった3秒も致命的だわな。事前にタイミング合わせて、高火力アビリティをぶちあてりゃぁ、即全滅っつぅな」
「おまえらさー、対人戦においてよぉ、こんな初歩中の初歩アビリティを知らないとか、何の冗談よ。黒い渦......『
「ったく。俺らがほんとに攻撃してたらよぉ、姐御が天使ちゃんかっさらうのを指くわえて眺めるだけのカカシだぜ、おめえら全員よ」
しかし、依然ユウジを見つめる姉の視線は険しい。
「太郎にふさわしいと言うならば、その太郎が私を大好きであり、誰よりも大事に扱っているという事に気付くべきね」
頼りないとか生意気とか、そんな感じで罵るかと思ったら、明後日の発言をする姉に俺は思わず溜息をついてしまう。
「いや姉よ、そこまでじゃないけどね? まぁ二人とも、喧嘩はやめてね」
「おい少年。タロの写真はあるのか? あるならば撮ったもの全て、私が押収する。いや渡してくれないか、お願いだ」
「あります。ですがその前に一つ、提案であります。これからも、より良い品質をお求めになるのでしたら、今後とも......神々しくまでに輝くタロ閣下の御身と偉業を、歴史に残すという崇高なる任務の許可を頂きたいであります。もちろん完成度の高い写真は全てその都度、姉君にお譲りするであります」
「わかった。それで手打ちにしてやろう、契約成立だな」
「ただし、本人が不快に思うのであったら......ただちに辞めるのだぞ。でないとお前に明日はない」
「お言葉ですが......貴女も共犯では?」
「何を言っている。私は家族だぞ? 姉弟のアルバムを作成して何が悪い。他人であるお前が太郎の写真を、無断で保持するのとは訳が違う。無駄口を叩くなら許可は出さないわよ」
姉がぼそぼそと何かをユウジに耳打ちし、ユウジがコクリと頷いているのが妙に気になる。晃夜や夕輝を恫喝したような事態もあったので、変な事になっていなければいいのだけど......あとで姉に確認しておこう。
せっかく戦友たちが集結してきたのだ。どうせなら、仲良くやっていきたい。
みんなが一致団結できるのか......すこし不安も感じるけど、そこをうまく調整し、みんなをいい方向に導くのも『
195 193 Stories.
"You've already started a war on Ignitol inheritance."
"Quick story, it's called a skirmish."
Out of the royal castle, we're heading out of town.
Evening Fai and the NPC militias who come under the command of "The Flagger (Royal)" get it from the barracks when they get out of the city.
There have already been some platoon-sized battles led by mercenaries (players).
"The rules of the inheritance war were surprisingly simple."
"It's a victory for both sides' representatives, NPC kills, or those who drop three critical bases."
The rebel representatives are Count Hardy and the Duke of Granze, this is Princess Ignitol.
against two enemies, and one on the royal side. At first glance, there is a reason for this balance, which appears to be unfavourable, and Princess Ignitol is stronger than the two enemy representatives.
"Heavenly Lord! Take more and more bases!
"Ooh! Mina, you're motivated!
"Because the sisters work hard, right?
"Ha! Nice to meet you!
There are a number of locations that can be an important base for enemies, and you just have to take them away from them. Conversely, if they take three of these bases, they lose. At first I stepped on the idea that it would be quicker to kill dignitaries... but when I looked at the map the princess gave me, I knew that by the time I reached the castle where Count Granze was staying, I had to deal with a vast array of enemies and institutions, and I decided on a policy of dropping bases.
"General, salute His Excellency the Angel General!
As I was about to make my way out of the city, the decree flew from a group that consolidated both sides of the road.
If you look at both sides, there were less than 30 unified mercenaries (players) in uniform gear.
"My Lord Angel Admiral, you RF4you! I led my friends up! Your Eminence Taro is magnificent and above all."
Nobody makes it slightly mobile to see if they have brilliant training.
In the meantime, just one little boy walked up to me and drowned his head with his hands on his chest.
"Ooh... Yu, RF4you look good too..."
He was my classmate Yuji as a rear friend.
Speaking of which, I forgot it was an arithmetic to rendezvous.
"Oh, you say those words, and it's the ultimate in pleasure. My lord Taro, it is a gracious wish... if you will, only the brave silver soldier (Silverray) gathered here. If you say anything, you will gain even more morale!
Everyone had a harsh (wax) look on their faces, but only their eyes were glittering and obviously expecting something. If I can show you how that is, I feel like I have to say something.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you've come together well. It could be a painful battle, but let's stick together."
Knowing it was an unfavourable situation, it brought all these people together, including Yuji. Let's even float to one of the loving laughs.
"" "Saar Yesser!
My words echo an awesome response that could rock the ground.
At a glance I feel their morale jump to the limit with my skin.
"Yu, RF4you...... you kinda got some amazing people here...... thanks"
"If it is the order of His Eminence Taro to convene, he will gladly come along!
That's what Yuji said, staring at me naggingly, then letting Mina Yukari, Shizuku, Announ and Lily carry her gaze.
"Plus the task of squad squad squad squadrons, such as being able to stand shoulder to shoulder on the front with these beautiful girls!
No, let's quit that. And before I could say it, a pointy voice was stabbed (...) by Yuji.
"Hmm? Who the hell are you talking about stealing that from?
Everyone on the spot is surprised by my sister, who showed up neglected between me and Yuji. A pitch-black vortex is thrown out of my sister's feet, which scatters the effects of fogging in the air.
"In case you tried to shoot my Taro without permission, there's no life."
I thought Yuji just about had cold liver on this too, and for some reason his face was happily tranced.
"Out of the way. Get lost."
My sister looks down at Yuji with a terribly cold gaze.
But Yuji hacked and alternated between me and my sister, and somehow started confronting my sister in a position to hide me from her back. It's like you're trying to shield me.
"You want to be erased? Boy."
All I'm saying is it's terribly unpleasant, and blue muscles run on my beautiful sister's face.
"You can't inadvertently endanger our angel."
To Yuji's words, the mercenaries (players) who were saluting move at once.
"What's wrong with my (...) taro talking to me?
Yuji moves his eyebrows in this narrative.
"You smell dangerous. Do you know what the judgment criteria are when it comes to feeling cultivated on the battlefield?
"Say something funny. How can you not be aware that you are the most dangerous? I think it's more dangerous for a cliched group like you to be surrounding Taro. You're making it ugly and scandalous, you're denigrating my Taro personality."
"We are those gathered in response to the convocation of His Excellency Taro. If you are asking about our character, it is an act of questioning the very character of His Majesty the Angel, who has spoken to us. No matter how intimate you may be with Lord Taro, it is extremely dangerous, for example, to hyperbole the ownership of His Eminence Taro."
"Hehe... If you recognize my thing as a threat, why are you trying to jump into danger from yourself? Are you an idiot? I admire your swift transition to a combat posture, but the only decision you can make (...) is that you don't deserve to be beside Taro or any dust."
"We should refrain from any further insults. We have been heavily trained and trained in the seeping of blood to be a unit worthy of His Majesty the Angel! Any further gossip is considered hostile."
"Funny, try it. Hey, sis?
They ask me that, and I realize that my body can no longer move a single step.
This... could it have something to do with the black vortex my sister was releasing earlier?
"Hey, you got a concentrated fire?
About 10 mercenaries (players) appeared sassy from the city's buildings and heights, pointing their canes and bows at this one with the trick of finishing the magical chant.
"A time-bound behavioral inhibitory ability that will only make you unable to move for 3 seconds"
"Since it activates, it activates to mercenaries (players) who are in range due to time difference, so it's a completely unusable ability."
By the time the explanation begins, we'll be able to untie our gold.
But no one tries to move the spot. No, I can't.
Because if you make a bad move, you don't know when the mercenaries targeting Yuji and the others will unleash an attack. The famous mercenary regiment (clan) in the interpersonal battle, which is easy to grasp, ... is this the strength of the "Neck Hunting Madness" ....
"Man, this is only three seconds deadly in battle. Pre timing, hitting high firepower abilities, it's all gone."
"You guys, in a people-to-people match, you don't know these initial abilities, what's the joke? Black vortex..." The Vortex of Black Death (Peste) "leaves before 10 seconds pass from within a 3-meter radius. Is this common sense?
"Damn. If we had just attacked, it would have been just a kakashi watching my sister's angel take her away."
But my sister's gaze at Yuji is still harsh.
"If you say Taro is worthy, you should realize that Taro loves me and treats me more than anyone else."
If I thought I'd curse you like that for not relying on you or being busy, I'd accidentally sigh at my sister for making a statement the day after tomorrow.
"No, sister, it's not that far, is it? Well, both of you, stop fighting."
"Hey boy. Do you have a picture of Taro? If there is, I will seize everything I take. No, give it to me, please."
"Yes. But before that, one thing, it's a suggestion. If we are going to continue to seek a better quality, we would like to receive permission for the noble task of keeping in history His Holiness Taro, who shines by divinity. Of course, every complete photograph is given to your sister each time."
"Okay. So let's get it hands-on, you got a deal."
"However, if you are uncomfortable with yourself... you will quit immediately. Otherwise you won't have tomorrow."
"With all due respect... aren't you an accomplice?
"What are you talking about? I'm family, right? What's wrong with creating an album for my sister and brother? It's not like you, the other person, hold Taro's picture without permission. I'm not giving you permission if you're wasting your time."
I am strangely concerned that my sister ears at Yuji for blurring and something, and Yuji is nodding cocklessly. I hope things haven't gotten weird because there have been things like intimidating Shaking Night and Evening Fai... I'll check with my sister later.
Because of this, our comrades have gathered together. Anyway, I want to get along.
Can we all be united... I also feel awkward anxiety, but I will keep in mind that it is also my role as Commander (officel) to coordinate well there and guide everyone in a good direction.
