Chapter 143
The basin region called the Shinanju Great Plains to the south of Sacrament, both armies clashed there and, it’s already such that 1 week has passed .
They have a large number of demons so, our force with melee as its main against the Sacrament that came to invade as masters of magic was thought to be at a disadvantage but, the Wilmington, Ashitaka kingdom allied force’s soldiers are well tempered so they fought well .
「Heavy cavalry unit should go forth! Stop the enemy’s charge!」
Even so my cold sweat won’t stop, with this churning cycle of offense and defense .
「What is the rear guard doing! It’s fine if they don’t aim or the like! Support the vanguard more!」
A scream sufficient to hoarsen the voice, from the sky behind us .
My throat hurts despite using a magic crystal to throw my voice……I feel that Krancesca is quite the person .
Be that as it may, if we take too much time the royal capital might end up falling .
The ones being delayed are, over here isn’t it .
Descending from the plateau, I take a breath .
「I’m irritated at, my own inability……!」
「Eclair-sama, please deign to keep your focus on commanding from the rear, I humbly request this . 」
As I’m acting irritated, Noa comes to remonstrate me time and time again in this manner .
「……I understand!」
That it being not just my own life, is this heavy……!
I was unconsciously stroking my stomach .
「Master-sama, this side could transform into a dragon and cut open a path?」
The young dragon that soon ran over, insisting she wants to serve a purpose by killing people is abnormal .
That is, the battlefield .
「……That may be requested eventually but, please stay here for now . We’ll have Retty prepare for an unexpected situation . 」
Retty’s dragon transformation uses too much magic power and, the body will become unable to move as such .
……At the least, with the circumstances of this current Eclair .
「Understood . I’ll do as master-sama says . 」
It’s enough with Alice’s 2nd unit present here to protect the headquarters .
Leoneil and Leymia are on the front lines, there’s no concern that it’ll collapse with the efforts of Jin’s 3 people .
However the lack of a decisive move is something I grind my teeth at though .
「……Today as well, it appears that a resolution won’t be reached doesn’t it . 」
「Everything will become a waste if we rush . Please endure here . 」
「I understand okay . 」
In the end, the sun set again with the battle lines deadlocked on this day .
◇■◇■◇
――In the night, I cried out in the tent .
I saw a strange dream .
A dream where, the child in my belly became a world first magician .
That child had silver hair, she was a beautiful child .
Alice said something like she’s just like Eclair but, this child is……?
While looking at that child in a curious manner, she looks in this direction for an instant with an expression like her feelings are subtly distant――she ends up turning her back and walking away in that manner .
Wait, I want to say that but my voice doesn’t come out――a somehow, sad dream .
I jump awake .
「――Impossible . Eclair, definitely won’t cause you something like misfortune . You’ll be given enough love to die . Alice will also definitely be an obsessive parent . So don’t worry . 」
The eyes I met for just an instant had an appearance that, seemed extremely sad .
Nee, you are?
So as not to cause unease, I stoke my stomach as if to convey something .
I couldn’t sleep because my feelings wouldn’t calm down so, I went out from the tent in that manner .
The soldier on lookout came to do a salute but, I didn’t want to cause an uproar so I made a light greeting and conveyed that I was going for a walk .
Going a little ways out from the forest, I sat down near the lake we secured as a water source .
The moon reflects on the water’s surface, it’s a phantasmagoric night .
「……Somehow, I want to hear her voice . 」
I couldn’t endure it any more so, I used a magic crystal and started a transmission to Alice .
Irregardless of how it was still deep in the night, the person I was waiting for appeared without taking all that much time .
『――Eclair?』
「……Un . 」
I just wanted to hear her voice so, there isn’t anything in particular to report .
……No, well, there is though .
「……」
『……Fufu, did something happen? Are you well? I’m, happy to hear Eclair’s voice . 』
My chest tightens, as she naturally comes to say such things .
「……Funn, I thought so so, I gave you a message . You should be grateful!」
『Ha~i . Thank you, Eclair . Fufu . 』
I become unable to hold out, as I listen to Alice’s voice .
I come to want to feel that body warmth right now .
「……Nee Alice――we made a child . 」
『―――――――――Fue!?』
I smiled .
I came to want to try getting a little revenge .
I also simply wanted to give a report though .
「It’s because you forcibly did it……idiot . 」
『Re, really!? Lumina-chan!?』
「……As stated, why is the name already decided……maa, it’s fine though, it’s real you know . 」
Lumina, Lumina is it……
I felt that, the child of my dream that showed herself for a moment was somehow different .
『uWaーーーーーー!! What is this, this feeling! I can’t express this you know! I’m happy! Eclair, I’m happy!』
Nn……maa, if I can have her honestly rejoice to this extent then, perhaps you could say that’s reassuring .
This side is also really happy .
「Oh right, that’s good isn’t it . Lumina? Please look forward, to being born . 」
『Awawa……Eclair! Come back! It’s no good for you to be in such a dangerous place!』
「Such a thing as abandoning the lines of battle to protect our family, the name of the Fairy of Silver Lightning will cry you know . Not returning is decided right . 」
『U……being told that, bu, but! It’s not like I feel it’s fine whatever becomes of other people! It’s just, because!』
「I understand, I under~stand so!」
Surely that’s, the world’s common sense according to the position of a parent you know .
「I’ll be careful so, this child will, thus definitely be protected . Please believe in Eclair……Or perhaps, you can’t believe?」
『…………I’m weak to being told as such but, but……Aim……ah, no . That’s right . Since, I believe in Eclair . Absolutely……please absolutely come back . 』
「……? Hai hai . It’s fine for you not to worry you know . 」
After chatting for a while, the transmission ended .
My mood became extremely content so, I’ll sleep well――I thought as such .
――Until I noticed that someone was standing, above the water’s surface .
「Who is it!」
「……Oya, was I noticed? You have rather good instincts . 」
She walked over on the lake’s surface, while leaving ripples on the water’s surface .
Small, an appearance that still couldn’t be called a girl’s .
Even so, somehow there’s a sense that she’s complete .
This sensation――
「Witch, of Ice and Snow……?」
「――That’s wrong . That person was a disappointing human resource . She didn’t meet my expectations . 」
「――Don’t speak of things you know nothing of!!」
It made me want to attack without asking questions, but I barely held it in .
……I can’t think she’s an opponent where it’s fine to leave it to my emotions and make her an enemy .
「For you to suddenly act infuriated, kuku . That is to say that Tillbell was the recipient of such reverence isn’t it . 」
「……What, are you . To have done something like coming here, the security shouldn’t have been so thin . 」
「I suppose there does seem to be rather excellent people gathered . But they’re not enough for me . 」
I understood clearly as the other side’s full appearance was illuminated in the moon’s light, as she walked close while she spoke .
A young outer appearance but……also strangely familiar .
This is……
「Alice……?」
No I was just speaking with Alice a bit ago, she shouldn’t be here and, her manner of speech is different .
But that silver hair and amber eyes are identical so, she could be seen as Alice with a slightly younger appearance .
「Kuku . The next generation’s strongest, the child of destiny is it . I’ll have expectations brought out . Furthermore……it seems the next insurance is also ready . 」
