Also, um…sorry for being insanely slow. I have no excuses. orz

‘Imperial City’ has been changed to ‘royal capital’ for consistency purposes with Saku’s translation.

“What was that movement just now?” (Knight A)

“Was that the Sword Saint’s gift? It’s said that the heroes use it.” (Knight B)

“No, my eyes can’t be deceived. There were no traces of magical power. In other words, that movement was obtained with nothing but martial arts!” (Knight C)

“It’s too quick! Can people even move like that!?” (Knight D)

“What kind of strength would she have if she used gifts with that……” (Knight E)

“No, she wouldn’t be a knight of the Holy Queen without at least that.” (Knight F)

“Or rather, because that boy is also a knight of the Holy Queen, wouldn’t his strength be around the same?” (Knight G)

The sentinels were all unanimously praising Tomochika.

When Mokomoko saw that, she was extremely delighted.

『Hmm, I see! If it’s this way, it possibly could be said she is broadening the Dannoura Style in this world!』(Mokomoko)

“No……everyone is all right, but are they neglecting that one guy?” (Yogiri)

The man who battled Tomochika, David, the vice commanding officer, was crouching. As a man, Yogiri more or less pitied him as well.

『I do not know how much it does as I am a woman, but I’ve heard that it is the pain of hell. Well, it was just an ordinary kick. They wouldn’t be smashed. As the testicles are fixed, to smash them is something unexpectedly difficult. But, don’t be troubled about them being thought to be unsmashable! In Dannoura, there is a technique to certainly smash them anyway!』(Mokomoko)

“Why are you fixated on such a thing?” (Yogiri)

『That is something that is anywhere in my precious comrades of all times and places already. The blunder of the lower half wouldn’t make up for it at the lower half? If you like, it’s also fine for me to instruct you. It might be useful for something.』(Mokomoko)

“Please reserve it.” (Yogiri)

He didn’t want to hear such a thing in specific. Tomochika came back as he thought so.

“Well, I won somehow, but……was it okay with that?” (Tomochika)

『This is that “the martial arts of a parallel world are too primitive, yet the highly developed Dannoura Style is thought to be the same as magic”. It is expansion!』(Mokomoko)

“That’s roundabout!” (Tomochika)

“So, there seems to be no problems in particular.” (Yogiri)

Yogiri observed the state of the surroundings.

In the worst case, Yogiri had thought about the possibility that he’d be attacked by every one of the sentinels, but the risk at present was unlikely.

“It’s okay to enter the royal capital with this, right?” (Yogiri)

Yogiri asked the commanding officer that came, Torx.

“Yes. Or, how should I put it, without this suspicious car, there weren’t any problems in particular.” (Torx)

There weren’t inspections and the like to enter the royal capital.

As a suspicious car had stopped outside of the city, they just came to confirm.

“As I thought, we had better not enter inside in this car?” (Yogiri)

“That’s right. In the situation that someone knows that this car is a thing of the ‘Immortality Corps’, it might become troublesome again.” (Torx)

“Then, I guess we’ll leave it? But, what’s to be done with it?” (Yogiri)

It wouldn’t be possible to leave it as is here.

Although it was strong as it was an armoured vehicle, there was anxiety in the security aspect. Invading inside if time flew by was possible.

“Mokomoko-san, are you able to curse it or something like that?” (Yogiri)

Yogiri tried to ask.

『Curse it? Although there is nothing I can’t do, in this place, so that static electricity springs forth if you touch the door is the most I can do.』(Mokomoko)

“That will be an ordinary thing even if you don’t expressly curse it, right!?” (Tomochika)

“Um, have you been speaking to someone from some time ago?” (Torx)

Torx inclined his head.

“Aah, how should I say it. A spirit? It’s like that, though.” (Yogiri)

It was difficult to make excuses now as they had been talking plentifully. Yogiri deceived him on the spot.

『Don’t confuse me with the likes of spirits!』(Mokomoko)

“I see. It is also possible to use spirits if you are a knight-sama of the Holy Queen. However, there is a small problem if it’s thus. Inside the royal capital, it’s reaching the point that mysterious existences and magic don’t work well.” (Torx)

“Is that so?” (Tomochika)

Tomochika asked Mokomoko.

『Yeah. There’s a feeling similar to that tower. Doing this and that with this degree is the line if it is to my standard, but I can’t avoid the weakening.』(Mokomoko)

“Isn’t it alright if that’s the case? Mokomoko-san is basically useless, even if she is weakened a little.” (Tomochika)

『You, I think it’s fine to show respect to your ancestors a little more?』(Mokomoko)

“If it’s like that, how about entrusting them with our force?” (Torx)

While Tomochika was quarrelling with Mokomoko, Torx gave a suggestion.

“Is it okay?” (Yogiri)

“Yes. It is a matter of accommodating it, and it is just safekeeping.” (Torx)

“Then, please do so……although I’ve left it alone the whole time, that person seems to be quite bothersome, but is he alright?” (Yogiri)

Yogiri looked at David, who he had been worried about continuously from some time ago. He was still crouching and seemed to be in pain.

“Eh? I didn’t kick him that strongly, though?” (Tomochika)

“I thought you kicked with all of your strength?” (Yogiri)

Tomochika said it falsely, and Yogiri unusually retorted.

“Ah, the people who have sticks use magic, right? Can’t they heal injuries?” (Tomochika)

Whether or not it was to shift the blame onto them, Tomochika spoke such a thing as if nothing happened.

“Hmm. As sage candidates, by coming from a parallel world, you don’t know much regarding magic?” (Torx)

“Yeah. I only know about that they use a staff.” (Tomochika)

That, was also knowledge that she heard a little at the time of being attacked by the magicians.

“First of all, magicians cannot use every kind of magic. They have strong and weak points. And, those who can use magic that is usable as treatment are quite few.” (Torx)

“Well, isn’t there someone who can use something like recovery magic?” (Tomochika)

“As we are the army, there are users of treatment magic deployed as combat medics, but……they aren’t that useful substitutes. First of all, pain that is occurring already cannot be erased. And, quite a lot of pain occurs even while in the process of treating. As it is like that, treatment magic is something not used unless the pain is to a large extent.” (Torx)

“Is it something like anesthesia?” (Tomochika)

“If you use anesthesia, it will inhibit the treatment magic.” (Torx)

As treatment magic seemed to be a quite troubling substitute, it appeared that it wasn’t something to be used for the extent of receiving a blow to the jewels.

“Ah, it’s best to lie down and be at ease if it’s like that. My father did so well.” (Tomochika)

It was as though Tomochika remembered good things.

“Mokomoko-san. ‘That’?” (Yogiri)

Yogiri asked with a dejected face.

『Yeah. It was said it was for the sake of Dannoura’s prestige. It is natural to guard against and defend a male’s crotch, and the form is aware of that.』(Mokomoko)

Tomochika’s stance hadn’t been face-to-face to the opponent. This was to hide the vitals.

『Of course, there are also techniques to make an opponent that is on guard receive a technique, but the biggest reason is that this fellow’s father was sweet on his daughter with dochakuso. It was because although he was a trainee he was a guy who didn’t make serious efforts. He was kicked so that she absorbed it without considering the pros and the cons.』(Mokomoko)

Yogiri thought about whether or not it was such a thing.

Though how sweet it was, it wouldn’t be easy to receive it simply like that if there was a difference in ability.

If so, it was that he had received them on purpose.

If Tomochika’s father wasn’t the owner of a unique characteristic, that was to drive that it was fine to attack a male’s crotch without hesitation into Tomochika.

It was a plenty effective means against men, and it seemed he thought about an emergency.

——Well, maybe it was sweet.

Shaking his head as if he was thinking too much, Yogiri pulled himself together.

Passing through the sentinel-dedicated gate, Yogiri and others entered into the royal capital in the armoured vehicle.

That place was a base to protect the south central gate.

Stopping at the side of the castle walls where they weren’t too much of a hindrance, Yogiri and others stepped down from the vehicle.

Yogiri had put the minimum luggage into the backpack already. Tomochika had been carefully investigating the things that were brought in on the roof rack.

Yogiri observed the thing he had felt uneasy about while waiting on Tomochika.

It was the castle walls of the royal capital.

They were stubbornly tall castle walls, but that itself seemed to be possible by the construction technology. However, he felt an uncomfortable feeling on the castle walls that looked white before this abnormality.

There wasn’t any dirt.

It seemed to be surrounding the entire gigantic royal capital, and it was white anywhere as far as the eye could see.

Yogiri gently stretched his hand close to the castle walls. Thereupon, he bumped into something a little before touching the wall.

He didn’t see anything, but there was certainly something there. It moved in a little if he pushed, but he wasn’t able to touch the wall even if he put in all of his might. It was as if the castle walls were covered in transparent rubber.

“It is covered in magic.” (David)

While he was enjoying the feeling of the something that he couldn’t see, a voice was raised from behind him.

“Are you alright already?” (Yogiri)

“Well, somehow.” (David)

It was David. As he was walking normally, it seemed there were no after-effects.

“These castle walls were created by the Grand Sorcerer Igleshia-sama long ago. It is said that it can endure any attack.” (David)

“The Grand Sorcerer Igleshia……I’ve heard it somewhere. Aah, are you a gilded splendor person?” (Yogiri)

Towering over the surroundings in the canyon, the tower to seal the Devil.

In the middle of the trials done in that tower, Yogiri recalled that he had met a man calling himself a grand sorcerer.

Wearing a golden robe, and many clinking gem-type things were attached to his body; at any rate it was a gaudy man.

“Hou? Do you know? Certainly, in tradition, it was something of wearing golden clothes on your body.” (David)

“Well. If so, we thought that he had a threatening atmosphere at first, though.” (Yogiri)

He couldn’t say that he had killed that grand sorcerer, Yogiri changed the topic.

“That is……well, that I lost is certain. I have to meekly recognize it.” (David)

“Ah, good. You seem to be okay!” (Tomochika)

Tomochika came down from the roof rack. She was holding in hand a trunk case, and was carrying a backpack on her shoulder.

“Ye, yeah.” (David)

David’s face stiffened a little.

“And, what are you here for?” (Tomochika)

Whether or not she thought it odd, Tomochika asked.

“It seems that you all came to meet the sage candidates? I was wondering if I could guide you if it was okay.” (David)

David said such a thing, and Yogiri and Tomochika exchanged glances.
