第２６０堀：布陣発表 (Part2)
"To repeat, first, I will explain the types of teams we are splitting into.
First, the team to protect Roday. This is to prevent the Holy Sword Users from annihilating Roday. The method involves befriending Samantha, with me at the center, and a few others heading to the Roday Duke’s residence to pay our respects. In the process, we will encounter the Holy Sword Users by chance and proceed to repel or capture them.
Second, the observation team for the area around the Academy. This is because, in the unlikely event—or rather, it is quite likely—that magic power will disperse during the repulsion of monsters and Holy Sword Users, there is a possibility that monsters will emerge from the forest. The goal is to nip that in the bud.
Third, since there is a possibility of a diversion, we will leave a minimum defense team to account for potential invasions into Betan, Zilba, and Enaria. Note that the Roday group cannot use the dungeon’s teleportation system, so they cannot return to other locations instantly. Conversely, this means reinforcements cannot reach them immediately either, so I intend to concentrate a fair amount of combat power in the Roday group. Now, is everyone with me so far?"
Everyone nods.
"Then, for the main Roday team: myself, Cleena, Ria, Rurua, Deryu, Shera, Eris, Labyris, Aslin, and Firia. Also, Jessica, has the escort of Princess Miffy been completed?"
"Yes. I have already returned to Zilba."
"Then, Jessica, come along as well."
"Understood."
"Now, regarding the means of travel to Roday, we will use Amanda’s monster, the wyvern Wai-chan. Well, since Aslin, myself, and my subordinate monsters have been secretly training it, carrying people like us should be no trouble at all. As you might have guessed, Amanda and Eoid will be coming along. For the sake of appearances, these two are going under the guise of delivering a letter from the Academy Principal to the Duke. Though in reality, they are just our transport. I can’t exactly use Aslin’s den or our subordinate dragons as transport, after all. I considered traveling by car, but that would likely invite unnecessary interference from Roday’s nobles, so we won't be using that this time. Considering the flight speed, it shouldn't take even a day. There are no obstacles in the sky, after all."
Ah, I see.
So we're using the wyvern I gave to Amanda as a vehicle.
If it's that, we should be able to make it without any issues, right?
"Next, for the observation and defense of the Academy area: Tori, Riel, Popuri, Lara, and mainly our subordinates, including Kirika. That should be enough to manage. If something truly dangerous appears, retreat into the dungeon immediately. We have the overwhelming advantage inside the dungeon. Tori, please use your experience from your days as an adventurer. Because of that, I’m leaving the command at the Academy to you. I’m counting on you."
"Yes. Leave it to me."
Whoa, Yuki-san is actually entrusting it to me. I have to do my best!!
"Finally, for the other defense groups: with Seraria at the top, Betan will have Kaya and John. Zilba will have Zargis and Steve. Enaria will have Milly, Ratz, and Mino-chan. Also, Kirue, if it looks like any of those three are struggling, please head out as reinforcements. I’ll make sure the standing army inside the dungeon is ready to be deployed."
"Yes, understood."
"And, for both the other defense groups and the Academy group, since movement via the dungeon is simple, it’s fine to go and assist others. However, just in case, make sure at least one person remains on-site to keep watch. Especially Enaria, since it borders Roday, there is a possibility of aftershocks. Please be careful about that."
"Understood. Leave it to us, Big Brother."
"After all, we’re known as the Saintesses in Enaria."
Ah, right. Because of the commotion in Enaria, those two were being called Saintesses, weren't they?
Thanks to that, they seem to have a wide circle of acquaintances, but whether those idiots know they have a husband named Yuki-san or not, there are quite a few who try to hit on them.
Well, they usually turn them down, and if anyone goes too far, they seem to just crush them.
"The deployment is fine, but is it really okay to include Rurua and Deryu, who weren't involved before, in the Roday team? I understand you want the combat power, but..."
"That's true. I am supposed to be in Enaria, after all, and if I disappear, it might cause a bit of a stir."
"For that, just say I summoned you or something. If anything, 'don't interfere with family matters' should be enough to pass."
"Yes, understood. I’ll make sure to blow away anyone who complains about me joining my husband."
Yeah, Rurua has become quite extreme, hasn't she?
"Deryu, is that okay with you?"
"I'm not particularly busy, so I don't mind going. Though, it does mean I'll be pushing the childcare duties onto Kirue."
"Ah, there was that. So the defense group that can provide milk is just Seraria, Kirue, and Ratz..."
"That won't be a problem. We will prioritize the children's care, and if any issues arise, we will move immediately."
"We can help with everything else besides the milk, so please don't worry."
