Chapter 6.6

For an instant, she didn’t understand what had happened.

However, she was attacked by the sensation of her body floating weightlessly immediately after Bettina collided with the cart, and when she realised, her field of vision had reversed.

Although she didn’t fully understand what had happened, she could immediately comprehend what kind of situation she was in. She doubted that she’d get used to such things, but at any rate, she was probably blown off flashily.

Valeria’s eyes moved around quickly, and confirming the positions of the sky and ground, she promptly concentrated her consciousness on both feet.

「—To!」

Using the wind created by both feet and rearranging her posture, she landed softly.

「You’re quite good. —You’d have gotten a passing mark if you had been a bit more careful though」

「Ui—!?」

Holding Valeria who had breathed a sigh of relief in his arms sideways, Dimitar jumped back from that spot.

Suddenly, a long-haired girl descended on the spot where Valeria was until just now. The knife that the girl was grasping tightly with both hands sank into the wet ground with a “mishiri” up to its hilt.

「That child…!」

「“Her Eminence” has appeared, huh—」

When they hurriedly ran their eyes over the surroundings, they saw a man riding a horse turning around on the opposite side and running towards them. He was probably that young commissioned officer called “Cyril” or something. It must be the girl—Lampito who had sent rain of flames from above the heads of Valeria’s party, and the young man—Cyril who had dealt a blow to Bettina.

「C, come to think of it, how’s Bettina!?」

「Ma, if it’s one blow, she can probably withstand it with room to spare. …It seems that that man isn’t very skilful at magic」

「Costacurtgeika! Richternach-kyou!」

When they looked in the direction of the voice, Clotilde and Karin were helping the completely exhausted Bettina up. For the time being, the three people all seemed to be safe.

Arranging her breathing quietly, Valeria passed magic power through the magic crests on both arms so that she could use magic at any time.

「…What should we do?」

「You all go first while I prevent those guys from leaving」

「You’re still saying that?」

Valeria smacked Dimitar’s head with a “supan” and instinctively raised her voice.

「—You also said that last time, remained behind by yourself, and then came back severely injured, right!?」

「That was because I didn’t make a serious effort」

「That sort of thing again—」

The “serious effort” Dimitar was saying was probably that, the magic crest that would emerge on his arm. However, if that was the case, then she mustn’t let Dimitar make a serious effort. After all, he said that it was impossible to stop by himself if he went out of control.

Valeria took a step forward to restrain Dimitar and confronted Lampito, who was staring fixedly at them.

「Rather than beating you to stop you, the opponent here seems easier!」

「…That might be a reasonable assessment, but I said that the matter of you fighting against that young girl is reckless」

「Don’t say every single thing that will grate on my nerves! —Karin, Diaghilev-geika! You all go first!」

「I’m sorry, we shall do so then!」

Karin replied with a particularly loud voice. It wasn’t like the usually quiet Karin.

However, it was a response that could be said to be very typical of Karin.

The eyes of Lampito, who had reacted to Karin’s voice, shifted. It was obvious that Karin had shouted to distract Lampito’s attention.

「—Ya!」

Valeria fired “Whirlwind”Razor towards Lampito, who had looked away.

「Don’t lose focus, Lampito!」

Just before the wind blade hit her directly, Cyril who had come from behind stretched his hand and pulled Lampito up onto the saddle in the nick of time.

「Mou! Why did she avoid it!?」

Her attack that had taken advantage of Lampito’s carelessness evaded, Valeria stamped her feet.

Immediately after that, Cyril’s horse pitched forward.

「…!」

「…If you had been a bit more careful, you’d have gotten a passing mark」

When she looked to the side in surprise, Dimitar spat out words similar to just now while in the pose of having swung his sword downwards. It seemed that he had aimed for the moment when Cyril had rescued Lampito and then felt relieved.

「H, how sly! Snatching another person’s achievement—hyo!?」

Dimitar carried Valeria, who had tried to protest, in his arms and started running.

「W… eh!? D, do you normally run away!?」

「I’m not running away. I’m just setting my priorities. …Besides, if we’re going to fight anyway, then I’m changing location」

「To where!?」

「Having companions around will be less lonely」

In front of Dimitar who had accelerated in one breath with his enhanced leg strength, a characteristic silhouette could be seen already.

「Bettina!」

「Au… Valerisama—」

Shouldering the umbrella, Bettina was running while zigzagging unsteadily. Karin and Clotilde had probably gone further ahead.

「Are you all right!?」

「I, I don’t know whether I’m all right, b, but anyway, Karin-sama told me to run—」

「That’s right. They’ll immediately catch up with us if we stop」

When she looked back at Dimitar’s cold words, Valeria caught sight of Lampito and Cyril pursuing them relentlessly.

「—We shall charge in like this」

「C, charge in where!?」

「There」

At the front pointed by Dimitar, a vague silhouette of a big tree could be seen beyond the thin fog.

—No, it wasn’t a big tree; it was a trebuchet.

The things wriggling at its base were probably the Yururogu’s soldiers protecting the trebuchet. Perhaps Karin’s party had already cut their way into the enemy position, vivid battle cries could be heard, and Valeria shivered lightly.
