Chapter 101
CHAPTER 101 – KAKERU’S BLESSING
In a place a little far away from the town of Chigris, there is the fortress called Pishon .
Several kilometers far away from that, we came to a place where we could see it .
「Aruji . 204 under Nana Kanou, preparations are completed」
「Good job」
I turned around, and looked at the troops .
In front of the elite slave soldiers that Nana and I trained, there are three women standing with excitement .
Helen, Rica, Aura .
The three of them are wearing the same clothes as the slave soldiers, but they weren’t mixed within .
Even if they are wearing the same clothes, they have an aura that cannot be hidden .
『Kakeru〜』
This time, I heard a voice from above .
The two transparent maid ghosts landed .
It’s Tanya and Peggy .
I let them go reconnaissance in the fortress .
「How was it?」
「They’re on guard . Their numbers are……」
「531 people」
Peggy answered .
Is she taking distance from me because she’s still afraid of me or is it just her strict personality . Peggy reported more specifically compared to Tanya .
『Right, right, there’s 531 of them . About 2 . 5x of us huh』
「Good job」
I praised the two . Tanya became happy honestly, Peggy made a complicated face .
『500 huh』
「It’s just good enough」
『Even if you’re alone that is』
「If it’s like that, there’s no meaning」
Just like I said to Eleanor, 500 people is “good enough” numbers .
Taking into account the fact that they’re hiding inside the fortress, their numbers would only “make it difficult” for me .
However, it’s not like that this time .
I turned around, and went to my three women .
「We’re going to charge and steal Pishon’s fortress . Are you ready?」
The three of them nodded at once .
「I’ll lend you abilities . Is Helen fine with the dagger techniques like before?」
「Yes」
「What about Rica」
「I’m good at something like this」
She said that, and made a ball of fire .
It’s weak and doesn’t seem practical .
「Flame magic powers huh, I got it . What about Aura?」
「I learned something like this」
Aura said and pulled out one strand of hair . She then rubbed her hands together with it inside .
When she released her hand, it was cut into small pieces . As if it was placed in a mixer .
「Can you use it for attacking?」
「It’s that kind of technique」
「Hmm . Then, try using it to me」
I said that and took distance from Aura .
「Is it okay?」
「Yeah」
I nodded casually .
Aura hesitated a little . She glanced at Helen and Rica on her sides .
The two nodded . As if two say “it’s okay, just try it” .
Aura got resolute, she clasped her hand with the hair strand that she cut with one hand this time, and threw it .
The hair flew while raising a sharp wind cutting sound .
This is bad!
That thought entered my mind for an instant .
I drew Eleanor .
*Kikikikikiiiーn!!!*
There was a metallic sound, I received the hair attack with the whole blade .
It was an unexpected attacking power .
『It’s because you’re letting your guard down……what’s with that grinning face』
It’s because it’s fun .
I got cold sweat for an instant but that made me happy instead .
「You’re quite good, Aura」
「Is that so?」
Aura as dissatisfied like her words say .
「I’ll strengthen that . On what laws do you do that? Is it using magic powers? Is it some kind of life energy?」
「It’s a practical technique using wind magic and recovery magic」
「Recovery? I see」
I don’t really get it, but knowing that is enough .
「Yosh, let’s go then . First, for warming up, let’s take that fortress」
The three nodded, their faces show excitement .
「Lend dagger techniques to Helen Teresia Mercouri」
【The Dagger Techniques will be lent to Helen Teresia Mercouri . Time Remaining: 2 minutes 59 seconds】
「Lend flame magic powers to Rica Calamba」
【Flame Magic Powers will be lent to Rica Calamba . Time Remaining: 2 minutes 59 seconds】
「Lend wind magic powers to Aura Torideca Comotoria」
【Wind Magic Powers will be lent to Aura Torideca Comotoria . 2 minutes 59 seconds】
「Lend recovery magic powers to Aura Torideca Comotoria」
【Recovery Magic Powers will be lent to Aura Torideca Comotoria . 2 minutes 59 seconds】
I used the lending ability that I got from the limited lottery .
There’s a lot of second prizes that I got during the double chance period, so I used those to the three .
「Eh?! What’s this」
「I feel a……surge of power?」
Rica and Aura got confused .
「The two of you, use your powers once again . It must become very different compared to before」
Helen who has experience said to the two .
Rica used flame magic .
A ball of flame appeared, it was far larger than the one earlier, it was like a small sun with flares rising .
Aura also threw her hair once again .
*BUOOON!!*, it with such a stunning sound, and my hand that holds Eleanor got a little numb when I received it .
「It is Kakeru-sama’s power . He lent them to the two of you . Right now, you are in the state of receiving Kakeru-sama’s blessings」
「Kakeru’s……」
「Blessings……」
The two mumbled . Their looks towards me were more and more feverish .
Taking those girls, we charged to Pishon Fortress .
Raising shouts, we charged .
They counterattack, arrows fell down like it rained .
I swung Eleanor blocking the arrows .
I stole a glance to the three .
Helen who had some experience was calm and blocks the arrows with her dagger .
Rica melted the arrows using her flame magic .
Aura who defended using her hair wasn’t able to block all of it and received one arrow .
「A-re? I don’t have wounds……」
Aura thought strangely but immediately got convinced .
「I see, this is also part of the blessings」
She said and got convinced .
More specifically, it’s me but not me at the same time .
The reason why Aura didn’t get injured was because of Melissa that is full of stamina, hidden within the slave soldiers with the powers I lent to her using the first prize that would last for an hour .
The Immortal Saint Melissa multiplied 777 times with what I lent .
『How overprotective』
Say anything you want .
I ignored Eleanor’s teasing .
Making them participate all that they want is what is important .
The fortress fell without lasting an hour .
