fist up-high.
“Alright, let’s move out together with the Occult Research Club and the two new members of the student council! Let’s show it to them, the strength of how we break through obstacles like the firepower idiots we are called!”
[Yeah!]
The Devils of the Kuou academy then head out!
Life.3 Let’s Have the Sunlight Together With Me
Part 1
By creating a special barrier within the guest room, we exchange conversation in secret.
As long as that magic-circle has been activated on such a big scale, the inside of this castle as well as the outside is in a pre-battle situation. In other words, it wouldn’t be weird for the coup d’état faction to attack this guest room at any moment.
“Well, since the government-faction that teamed up with the Carmilla-faction will be attacking this castle, I’m sure they will concentrate most of their man power for that purpose. But we still need to be cautious.”
That’s what Sensei says.
Like Sensei said, I can’t feel the presence of any soldiers heading towards our side at all.
Though you can already hear the sound of explosions and screams coming from the outside. ……It means that the battle has already begun.
Sensei takes out a single map and spreads it on the floor. It’s a handwritten map.
“It’s a map I sketched in secret. Take a look at this. There is a huge spacious area that is located really deep down in the castle. The basement is deep, but there are four main floors. The Tepes-faction performs their main ritual that is related to the Vampires on the lowest floor which happens to be a ritual area—. Since that magic-circle activated with this castle as the centre point, I have no doubt that they are performing the ritual to extract the Holy Grail on the lowest floor of this castle.”
“And the Khaos Brigade will be down there too, right?”
Xenovia says that and Sensei nods in agreement.
“The higher-ups who were involved with the coup d’état and their royal guards must be there right now. And the place we are heading towards would be there as well.”
Kiba then starts to put marks on the map.
“I got a fair grasp of the range that the soldiers here work at during the past two days in this castle. I think I can prepare a route to go down the basement without encountering that many soldiers just in case. What I mean by “just in case” is that since this isn’t a normal situation now, I am sure that the formations of the soldiers here have changed.”
Oh, so the reason why Kiba sometimes disappeared from the guest room during our time here is because he went to check out the castle. Since it’s Kiba who has god-speed, he didn’t get caught by the soldiers.
“Either way, the ones that we would be encountering are the strong foes that will be at the basement whether we like it or not.”
Kiba fearlessly smiles.
That’s how it will turn out. Since they are performing the important task of extracting the Holy Grail here, Marius and those around him with important roles would be there……along with that Evil Dragon.
So there will be plenty of strong foes in the path we are taking. Well, it does seem like a battle that the Gremory group would usually face.
I make a big sigh and scratch my head.
“We sure do get ourselves dragged into such situations often.”
