Chapter 75: Masatsugu’s command ‘Defense Tactics’ and mediation with?classmates.
Translator: Mr.Nobody
“King Masatsugu, the report for the Gaius area was completed.”
“Good work.”
“King Masatsugu! We’ve already finished our battle formation on the Keines Canyon.”
“I understand.”
“My king. The negotiations with the nearby country Ferdinant have been completed. We’ll receive their aid!”
“Is that so. When the battle ends we should thank them.”
“My king!”
“King Masatsugu!”
Sigh, I said I understand still preparing for war is hectic.
“I see. Make judgements on the spot to a certain amount. In the end it’s an improvised army. I’m not expecting some advanced cooperation. Don’t let the logistics be cut off. The supplies are finite but the war potential rises to it. If the soldiers don’t get a meal then they’ll morale will decrease.”
“As expected of our King. You are paying attention to even meager parts like this. Moving forward without letting anything slip by.”
“Take care.”
The messenger said ‘Understood’ and left.
We have no time after all.
The army of the dead will arrive on our national borders the day after tomorrow.
The army is invading from 3 directions in scale of several hundreds.
On the other side, our whole army is 10, 000.
If it was like usual then this wouldn’t even be a battle.
It would end with just being trampled down.
The soldiers who are departing don’t have grim faces.
That’s because
“Look, I crashed this stone”!
“If it’s necessary to something like the border I can arrive there in 10 minutes!”
“Look at this jump power! I can look at the limits of the horizon!”
“Hihihi, with this we may beat the ogre commander! Usually it would be relentlessly hard to do it. Now on the contrary…”
“Hou, beating it in it’s own game!?”
“When did you guys!? I heard you…”
“You lot stop fooling around and be quiet! It’s a crusade for protecting the kingdom!”
“Sorry.”
“Fun. I’m 1000 times more powerful. Right now, I might reach the heights I couldn’t reach…”
“Eh, the commander is somehow getting high-strung!?”
“Don’t get carried away!”
“Please forgive us.”
I looked at the soldiers from the throne room and their communication has gotten better and were leaving for the front with quick pace.
Their expressions were clear and they were busy.
They’re excited but as long as they aren’t careless then it’s fine.
Originally they were running from the battle.
But with my coronation they were revived.
And on the contrary it became that the war can be won.
There’s no way that the morale won’t rise. Rather they have been elated.
“King Masatsugu. A strategy room has been prepared for replacing the throne room. It’s a bit dreary room…”
“It’s fine. For the strategy room it’s sufficient if it’s wide enough. By the way, does the strategy room satisfy the condition which I at the end added?”
“Eh? Honestly, myself don’t understand the meaning of the King’s story, but we’ve done according to your orders.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. As the orders we were given, we’ve put the strategy room on the top floor close to the slightly larger room. But, for what cause?”
To the soldiers question I smiled.
“I hate it but you’ll understand eventually. It’s in the case if the dead army conceal itself in the ground.”
“Okay…”
The soldier tilted his head.
Well, it’s not unreasonable.
But, there isn’t time for me to explain it carefreely.
Two girls were working for a long time for this.
I won’t do it in my free time too.
“Then, let’s move out!”
“Haha! We’ll guide you!”
And like this we were moving to the new strategy room.
The time I finished giving all kinds of orders it already became night.
I returned to my room and massaged my worn-out shoulders.
Today almost all of the soldiers finished dispatching.
Also as the soldiers were dispatching one by one, the classmates were preparing for departure.
They’ve plans to leave early in the morning.
They were summoned from a different world and got special skills.
Since Ezuka, Katsuragi and Miyamoto have strategy class skills they’ll stay behind and support the soldiers who’ve dispatched to the frontlines along with the other classmates who hold tactical class skills.
A commander has been deployed to every direction.
Like that, I was resting in my room when a sound came from the door.
Who could it be? For them to come at this time.
Leaving aside the orphans the door opened.
There was…
“What’s wrong at this late in the night?”
“Nothing particular.”
There were Yoshihara, Ezuka and Katsuragi at front and the rest of the classmates gathered here.
“What, did you come for a night assault?”
“Wrong!”
“Then, what? Did something happen?”
“Nothing special happened…”
And they began talking.
“Oi, Yoshihara, you said you’re going to do it. Clearly say it.”
“That’s right, Yoshihara-san. Don’t just go quiet.”
“I don’t need to be the one to say it! I just reluctantly followed you guys since you said you will be the ones to talk.”
“Don’t chicken out now.”
“Indeed. Prepare yourself. We’ve all finished preparing ourselves.”
What’s wrong with you?
I was looking with a quizzically and Yoshihara took a deep breath.
And then.
“We’re sorry for everything up till now.”
She said that while bowing her head.
“Fumu, some kind of trap?”
My skill isn’t responding so there is a holder of concealment skill?
I looked around the surroundings carefully.
“Wrong, I told you! I just normally apologized to you! This me to you! Normally!
….What?
“Do you have an illness, Yoshihara? For a draconian woman like you it must be very grave for you to say it.”
“Why can’t I say that much to you!?”
“Now, now both of you. And then…Masatsugu. No, it’s King Masatsugu now. It’s not just Masatsugu. The whole class… Miyamoto and Ishijima didn’t come but at any rate let us all apologize. We’re sorry that we ignored you till now. Everyone has recognized you. But, anyone would be jealous of somebody who could anything alone without depending on others. Please forgive us.” f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮
He said that and the rest of the class bowed their heads too.
I didn’t expect this at all. I’m lost.
“There’s no need for you guys to apologize to me. I just did as I liked. I thought naught of what you guys did.”
“Masatsugu…”
They closed their mouths.
“But.”
I sighed.
“In that case we might become better. When I came to this world I got to manage the orphanage. I think that I learned there to care for other people for the first time. In the previous world I thought that I was at my limits but that in itself might’ve been naive.”
“Masatsugu…”
“Don’t misunderstand this. I don’t have intentions for us to be friends. But, as classmates certainly then we have the same fellowship. And now I’m in the same place with you and have something close to protect. You guys pledged to protect this Kingdom. I protect the orphanage. Our purposes are compatible.”
I slightly paused and then continued.
“Right now we’re just comrades with same goals. You protect my family. I protect your place. We’ll destroy our enemy together.”
“What’s with that, looking so smug!”
Yoshihara said that and looked away.
“Together! Shall we save the Kingdom under king Masatsugu?”
“Of course! We might’ve been called here selfishly but we have an obligation to pay for the obligation and meals!”
“You just fell in love with Tanya-chan from inn, didn’t you?”
“You…”
Sigh.
These people doing as they like.
And why were Yoshihara’s cheeks slightly red?
I could only tilt my head.
“Master.”
Now, I returned to my room and Lucia waited there.
She has an expression that says she wants to tell me something.
“What is it?”
I asked her.
“It seems you have reconciled with your classmates.”
Fumu. Well, it’s not like I wanted there to be a discord.
Both sides were just ignoring each other.
Wait, that can be said to be a discord.
“Aah. What about it?”
I said and Lucia had an ‘preparing herself for the worst’ expression.
“Ehm, what are your thoughts on Katsuragi-san and Yoshihara?”
“Huuh?”
I once again tilted my head.
