CHAPTER 101 – KAKERU’S BLESSING

In a place a little far away from the town of Chigris, there is the fortress called Pishon .

Several kilometers far away from that, we came to a place where we could see it .

「Aruji . 204 under Nana Kanou, preparations are completed」

「Good job」

I turned around, and looked at the troops .

In front of the elite slave soldiers that Nana and I trained, there are three women standing with excitement .

Helen, Rica, Aura .

The three of them are wearing the same clothes as the slave soldiers, but they weren’t mixed within .

Even if they are wearing the same clothes, they have an aura that cannot be hidden .

『Kakeru〜』

This time, I heard a voice from above .

The two transparent maid ghosts landed .

It’s Tanya and Peggy .

I let them go reconnaissance in the fortress .

「How was it?」

「They’re on guard . Their numbers are……」

「531 people」

Peggy answered .

Is she taking distance from me because she’s still afraid of me or is it just her strict personality . Peggy reported more specifically compared to Tanya .

『Right, right, there’s 531 of them . About 2 . 5x of us huh』

「Good job」

I praised the two . Tanya became happy honestly, Peggy made a complicated face .

『500 huh』

「It’s just good enough」

『Even if you’re alone that is』

「If it’s like that, there’s no meaning」

Just like I said to Eleanor, 500 people is “good enough” numbers .

Taking into account the fact that they’re hiding inside the fortress, their numbers would only “make it difficult” for me .

However, it’s not like that this time .

I turned around, and went to my three women .

「We’re going to charge and steal Pishon’s fortress . Are you ready?」

The three of them nodded at once .

「I’ll lend you abilities . Is Helen fine with the dagger techniques like before?」

「Yes」

「What about Rica」

「I’m good at something like this」

She said that, and made a ball of fire .

It’s weak and doesn’t seem practical .

「Flame magic powers huh, I got it . What about Aura?」

「I learned something like this」

Aura said and pulled out one strand of hair . She then rubbed her hands together with it inside .

When she released her hand, it was cut into small pieces . As if it was placed in a mixer .

「Can you use it for attacking?」

「It’s that kind of technique」

「Hmm . Then, try using it to me」

I said that and took distance from Aura .

「Is it okay?」

「Yeah」

I nodded casually .

Aura hesitated a little . She glanced at Helen and Rica on her sides .

The two nodded . As if two say “it’s okay, just try it” .

Aura got resolute, she clasped her hand with the hair strand that she cut with one hand this time, and threw it .

The hair flew while raising a sharp wind cutting sound .

This is bad!

That thought entered my mind for an instant .

I drew Eleanor .

*Kikikikikiiiーn!!!*

There was a metallic sound, I received the hair attack with the whole blade .

It was an unexpected attacking power .

『It’s because you’re letting your guard down……what’s with that grinning face』

It’s because it’s fun .

I got cold sweat for an instant but that made me happy instead .

「You’re quite good, Aura」

「Is that so?」

Aura as dissatisfied like her words say .

「I’ll strengthen that . On what laws do you do that? Is it using magic powers? Is it some kind of life energy?」

「It’s a practical technique using wind magic and recovery magic」

「Recovery? I see」

I don’t really get it, but knowing that is enough .

「Yosh, let’s go then . First, for warming up, let’s take that fortress」

The three nodded, their faces show excitement .

「Lend dagger techniques to Helen Teresia Mercouri」

【The Dagger Techniques will be lent to Helen Teresia Mercouri . Time Remaining: 2 minutes 59 seconds】

「Lend flame magic powers to Rica Calamba」

【Flame Magic Powers will be lent to Rica Calamba . Time Remaining: 2 minutes 59 seconds】

「Lend wind magic powers to Aura Torideca Comotoria」

【Wind Magic Powers will be lent to Aura Torideca Comotoria . 2 minutes 59 seconds】

「Lend recovery magic powers to Aura Torideca Comotoria」

【Recovery Magic Powers will be lent to Aura Torideca Comotoria . 2 minutes 59 seconds】

I used the lending ability that I got from the limited lottery .

There’s a lot of second prizes that I got during the double chance period, so I used those to the three .

「Eh?! What’s this」

「I feel a……surge of power?」

Rica and Aura got confused .

「The two of you, use your powers once again . It must become very different compared to before」

Helen who has experience said to the two .

Rica used flame magic .

A ball of flame appeared, it was far larger than the one earlier, it was like a small sun with flares rising .

Aura also threw her hair once again .

*BUOOON!!*, it with such a stunning sound, and my hand that holds Eleanor got a little numb when I received it .

「It is Kakeru-sama’s power . He lent them to the two of you . Right now, you are in the state of receiving Kakeru-sama’s blessings」

「Kakeru’s……」

「Blessings……」

The two mumbled . Their looks towards me were more and more feverish .

Taking those girls, we charged to Pishon Fortress .

Raising shouts, we charged .

They counterattack, arrows fell down like it rained .

I swung Eleanor blocking the arrows .

I stole a glance to the three .

Helen who had some experience was calm and blocks the arrows with her dagger .

Rica melted the arrows using her flame magic .

Aura who defended using her hair wasn’t able to block all of it and received one arrow .

「A-re? I don’t have wounds……」

Aura thought strangely but immediately got convinced .

「I see, this is also part of the blessings」

She said and got convinced .

More specifically, it’s me but not me at the same time .

The reason why Aura didn’t get injured was because of Melissa that is full of stamina, hidden within the slave soldiers with the powers I lent to her using the first prize that would last for an hour .

The Immortal Saint Melissa multiplied 777 times with what I lent .

『How overprotective』

Say anything you want .

I ignored Eleanor’s teasing .

Making them participate all that they want is what is important .

The fortress fell without lasting an hour .
