6 - High Priest 大祭司

Night.

之夜。

Carrying out guard duty, we kept watch of our surroundings as we stopped to rest. Our movement speed was high, so we made more distance with our pursuers than I had anticipated.

执行警卫任务时，我们停下来休息，同时观察周围的情况。我们的移动速度很快，所以我们与追击者的距离比我预想的要远。

But there was something I wanted to confirm, so I went and asked the former High Priest Gastone-san.

但是我有件事想要确认，所以我去询问了前任大祭司加斯通先生。

A little parted from the campfire, we conversed with warm drinks in our hands.

离篝火稍远一点，我们手里端着热饮聊天。

There was plenty I wanted to ask, but getting to know the backstory of our pursuers was the first priority. And what Gastone-san9;s group had as their objective was important as well.

我想问的事情有很多，但了解追捕者的背景是首要任务。而且加斯托内先生他们的目标也很重要。

Gastone-san made a tired expression, as he explained the situation.

加斯托内先生一脸疲惫地解释着情况。

“Elites of the divine knight brigade?”

“神骑士团的精英？”

He nodded, before muttering in an annoyed fashion.

他点点头，然后恼怒地嘟哝道。

“Elite in name alone, they are an assassination corps. They9;ve always been a unit that carried out some questionable work. The former Holy Maiden Thelma-sama was of the moderate faction, so she couldn9;t help but build up resentment with the knights…”

“光是名义上的精英，他们就是一支暗杀军团。他们一直是一个进行一些有问题工作的单位。前圣女塞尔玛大人属于温和派，所以难免会和骑士们产生怨恨……”

From the Jewel, I heard a voice chastising Gastone-san. It was the Fifth.

从宝石中，我听到了责备加斯托内小姐的声音。这是第五次。

The Fourth.

『Then instead of just opposing them, why not moderately send them out to subjugate monsters and bandits, and make a show of praising them for their efforts? Opposing them to create sparks within the country, and is it already a raging fire? Just abandoning a huge problem like that is unreasonable.』

『……坦白说吧。对不起。』

The Sixth, fed-up.

The Fifth apologized to him.

“关于当代圣女，嗯……”

“……从年龄来看，圣女是一个严格的职位。她们一定总是很漂亮。虽然她还是很漂亮，但我是否可以说她配不上年轻女孩呢？民众也要求有一个新的。”

“Thelma-sama, was it? Then couldn9;t she have just stayed in power, without handing the role to the next generation?”

『This is getting close to rebellion. No, this is rebellion. The former Holy Maiden who stole back her seat, and the High Priest driven out!』

『前圣女对国家的现状感到悲痛，坐不住了！不过要是再年轻一点就更好了！』

加斯托内先生露出了可怕的疲惫笑容。

“She used to be the daughter of a noble family from the neighboring country of【Selva】. Even when we9;re usually supposed to avoid girls from such origins.”

There, Gastone-san made a horridly worn-out smile.

第四。

The Fifth.

（有可能把这些土地聚集在一起吗？不，首先，这在物理上是可能的吗？）

“… Age-wise, the Holy Maiden is a strict position. They must always be pretty. She may still be beautiful, but shall I say she isn9;t a match for the younger girls? The populace was also demanding a new one.”

There, the Third.

『… I9;ll be frank. I9;m sorry.』

『How nice. The previous Holy Maiden, and a High Priest of the moderate faction… you9;ve got the top and her aid in your grasp.』

『Saddened with the state of her country, the former Holy Maiden couldn9;t let herself sit still! Though it would be better if she was a tad younger!』

Unlike a certain two countries, there weren9;t any signs of them going through intense battle.

『那么，把他们两个放在表面上来扩大影响力，把莱尔放在中心上怎么样。如果扎因掌握在手中，就可以以叛乱为借口，彻底改变国家的统治方式。』

『那与其只是对抗，不如适度地派他们去讨伐妖怪强盗，表现一下赞扬他们的努力呢？反对他们在国内掀起火花，难道已经是熊熊烈火了吗？就这么放弃这么大的问题是不合理的。』

那里，第三个。

Even when he abandoned quite a few sparks with his own children, I thought to myself, but restrained from putting it to mouth. I tried softening the Fifth9;s words, and transmitting them.

与某些两个国家不同，没有任何迹象表明他们正在经历激烈的战斗。

扎印的情况很可能就是这样。我在其他地方很少听说过类似的事情。

The Third continued on.

『Well then, how about putting the two of them on the surface to build up influence, and putting Lyle at the center. If you get Zayin in your hands, you can use rebellion as an excuse to completely overhaul the ruling methodology of the country.』

Selva… A small country, and one with a few things moving about behind the scenes. In this land jumbled up by a complex array of small nations, they were maintaining a status quo.

虽然我认为这在各个方面都搞砸了，但我进一步询问了加斯通桑。

While thinking it was messed up, in various ways, I questioned Gastone-san further.

“你以为塞尔玛大人没有注意到吗？即使我不看，我也是大祭司的血统，你知道的。当然，我们不想维持骑士团，却又不给他们任何工作。”

『规则能顺利传承到现在，我很惊讶。此外，如果它们是漂亮的装饰品，那么任何人都不会这样做吗？一步错了，傀儡岂是那么容易……』

「塞尔玛大人是吗？那么她就不能继续掌权，而不把这个角色交给下一代吗？”

男人听不到，但我也有一些无法平息的感觉。

第五向他道歉。

『这已经接近叛乱了。不，这是叛逆。前任圣女抢回座位，大祭司被赶走！』

“About the current generation Holy Maiden, umm…”

『啊，原来如此。就这样，某个国家的女人成为了圣女，她们利用扎音间接毁灭了那些反对她们的国家。我觉得他们总是和周围的人打架，这很愚蠢。不，请注意，我仍然认为这很愚蠢。』

“… Not invading foreign soil. The high priests and knights conspired against pouring their efforts into internal affairs, and we ended up having to rely on adventurers. We put some needless funding into it, and somehow got the shape of it together, but that took twenty long years to accomplish. Without being able to hand her position over the entire time, Thelma-sama went through much troubles.”

“……不入侵异国土地。大祭司和骑士们密谋反对将精力投入到内部事务中，我们最终不得不依靠冒险者。我们投入了一些不必要的资金，并以某种方式将其成型，但这花了二十年的时间才完成。塞尔玛大人一直没能交出自己的位置，经历了很多麻烦。」

High priest lineage. In noble terms, perhaps count or viscount, or some position around that. There are sure to be un-noble-ish parts to their duties, but their priesthood was decided by heredity.

即使他放弃了与自己孩子的不少火花，我心里想，但又克制住没有说出口。我试着软化五号的话语，然后将它们传达出去。

When I became anxious, the Seventh spoke with delight.

在那里，加斯托内先生一脸困惑地把手放在额头上。悄悄的，他吐露了自己的感情。

塞尔瓦……一个小国家，一个有一些幕后活动的国家。在这片由众多小国家组成的杂乱的土地上，他们维持着现状。

第五。

There, Gastone-san put his hand to his forehead with a troubled expression. Quetly, he spilled his feelings.

当我变得焦虑时，第七人高兴地说道。

“杀妖、讨贼，你推荐他们在那个领域表演不就好了吗？”

“You think Thelma-sama hadn9;t noticed? Even if I don9;t look it, I9;m of High Priest lineage, you know. Naturally enough, we didn9;t want to maintain a knight brigade, yet hand no work to them at all.”

『太好了。前任圣女，温和派的大祭司……你已经掌握了最高层和她的帮助。』

『I9;m surprised rule has been successfully handed down all the way up to now. Besides, if they9;re meant to be pretty decorations, then wouldn9;t just anybody do? One wrong move, and how easy would it be to instate a puppet…』

第三位继续说道。

0;Would it be possible to get these lands together? No, in the first place, is it physically possible?1;

『Ah, so that9;s how it is. Like this, some country9;s woman becomes Holy Maiden, and they use Zayin to indirectly destroy the countries opposed to them. And I thought it was stupid how they were always picking fights with those around them. No, I still think it quite stupid, mind you.』

第六个，厌倦了。

The man couldn9;t hear it, but I also had some feelings I couldn9;t put away.

大祭司血统。用贵族术语来说，可能是伯爵或子爵，或者类似的职位。他们的职责中肯定有不高贵的部分，但他们的祭司身份是由遗传决定的。

“Monster slaying, and bandit subjugation, wouldn9;t it have been fine if you recommended they performed in that field?”

It9;s likely just how things worked in Zayin. I don9;t hear about things like that much elsewhere.

“她曾经是邻国【塞尔瓦】的贵族家庭的女儿。即使我们通常应该避开这样的出身的女孩。”

The Sixth.

第六。

『Right. The Divine Knight Brigade? Let9;s crush the elites they9;ve dispatched here, and now. Thinking of the scale of the country, there shouldn9;t be that many of them. I9;m sure it9;ll be a grave blow.』

“正确的。神骑士团？现在就让我们粉碎他们派遣到这里的精英吧。考虑到国家的规模，不应该有那么多。我相信这将是一个沉重的打击。』

… From what I9;ve heard, she officially handed off the position of Holy Maiden. It was a bit forceful, but Gastone-san couldn9;t help but acknowledge it as well. Yet the ancestors were telling me to go forth under the banner of rebellion.

……据我所知，她正式交出了圣女之位。虽然有点强硬，但加斯通先生也不得不承认。然而祖先却告诉我要打着叛逆的旗帜前行。

When I tapped and rolled the Jewel with my fingertip, the Third tried to convince me.

当我用指尖点击并滚动宝石时，第三个试图说服我。

『Don9;t like it, Lyle? Then think about it like this! For Zayin, a country whose ruling order is full of problems, you9;ll use this opportunity to reform them! What, the surrounding countries are already using it to run riot, after all. More than anything, you9;re doing good! To lead this land of endless strife along the right path, why now swallow down your tears here!』

『不喜欢这样吗，莱尔？那么就这样想吧！对于扎印这个统治秩序存在问题的国家，你就趁这个机会进行改革吧！什么，周边国家毕竟已经在用它来闹事了。最重要的是，你做得很好！为了带领这片纷争不断的土地走上正确的道路，何必现在就在这里咽下眼泪呢！』

The Fifth as well.

第五也一样。

『And wait, even if you leave it alone, it9;ll eventually be crushed by Celes. While that thing still has her eyes on her own country, overbearing as it may be, you should more or less get this land together. Even that may not be enough, but you should think of the surrounding situations as well. And they9;re an opponent I can9;t forgive overlooking.』

『等等，就算放着不管，它最终也会被塞莱斯压垮。那东西虽然还把目光放在了自己的国家上，虽然霸道，但或多或少也该把这块土地收拢起来。即使这可能还不够，但你还应该考虑周围的情况。而且他们是我不能原谅忽视的对手。』

The Fifth seemed brimming with motivation. Within that, the Sixth called out to me.

第五队似乎充满了动力。就在这时，第六号呼唤了我。

『Lyle, I get how you feel, but it9;s true that there9;s a need to break the deadlocks on this situation. You9;re just a piece of that. And if you abandon it, Celes is sure to move in the foreseeable future. Look a little ahead, and make your decision.』

『莱尔，我明白你的感受，但确实有必要打破这种情况的僵局。你只是其中的一部分。而如果放弃的话，Celes在可预见的未来肯定会有所行动。向前看一点，然后做出决定。』

His was a kind voice.

他的声音很友善。

虽然他的外表看起来很邪恶，但他是一个很好的人。也许他经历了相当多的麻烦。即便如此，先祖们还是……

“Now then, it9;s about time.”

“… 我明白那个。尽管他们很烂，但他们是骑士团的精英。如果你认为不可能，我不介意你一行人逃走。不过到时候，只要带着塞尔玛大人和亚乌拉大人一起就好了。其他人，如果可以的话，请一起带走。只要他们能拿到我的头，他们就应该满足了……”

“你不介意我们先把它们拿出来吧？”

环顾四周，我用技能确认了情况。我用第五号的【维度】确认了周围的地形，并用第六号的【规格】掌握了敌人的情况。他们奋力追上我们，然后绕了一圈。

“It9;s about the pursuers. There9;s no doubt they9;re still chasing us. I anticipate they were launch an attack on us shortly.”

After a while, I asked Gastone-san of his plans from here on.

They sounded like they were enjoying it. Enjoying the hell out of it.

“那么，是时候了。”

他们听起来很享受。享受其中的乐趣。

Watching his surprised face, I began explaining the plan.

While his appearance looked villainous, he was quite a nice person. Perhaps he9;d gone through a fair share of trouble. Even so, the Ancestors were…

Looking around, I confirmed the situation with Skills. I verified the surrounding terrain with the Fifth9;s 【Dimension】, and used the Sixth9;s 【Spec】 to get a grasp of the enemy9;s states. They had pushed themselves to overtake us, and had circled around.

艾莉亚一直在警惕，而精灵伊娃似乎也从周围的空气中察觉到了敌人的存在。

这是通往 Beim 的最短路线上的一个山谷。

“有什么事吗？”

There was some worth to be found in purposefully planning following a route that could go no other way than this valley, and luring them out.

『不不，这一次真是值了。你可以削弱你最终要与之战斗的国家的战争潜力，你甚至可以得到一个“正义事业”。现在你应该把一切都准备好，为胜利做好准备』

His marvelous glass-ball eyes looked as if they were sparkling radiantly today as well. Our reliable comrade.

“Lyle-san, the preparations are complete.”

“到达贝姆后，您打算做什么？”

“Something the matter?”

过了一会儿，我向加斯托内先生询问了今后的计划。

Before he could finish, I smiled.

顺便补充一下，这是一个非常适合伏击的空间。碎石太多，马车很难前行。即便如此，波特的移动也毫无问题。

那个被岩石包围的空间是一个难以穿越的地形。但既然决定走最短路线，我们就忍不住要走过去。

『那么等我们有了‘正当理由9;之后，是不是应该去洛菲斯卖掉我们的名字呢？那个人也除了公主之外一无所有吧？国王和王后意外身亡？』

“加斯托内桑。”

『Then once we9;ve got our ‘just cause,9; should we go sell our names in Lorphys? That one also has nothing but a princess as well, right? The king and queen died in accident?』

It was a valley along the shortest possible route to Beim.

“… Hah? Eh!?”

（这些家伙太可怕了。）

『什么？前圣女候选人？那意思就是现在的对手吧？ ……哦，你还有更多的牌要打！』

“… I understand that. Rotten as they may be, they9;re the elites of a knight brigade. If you think it impossible, I do not mind your party flee. But at that time, if you would only take Thelma-sama, and Aura-sama along. The others, if possible, please take them along. As long as they can get my head, they should be satisfied enough to…”

I took a deep breath, and offered a proposal to Gastone-san.

克拉拉向我走来。

『No, no, this time really was worthwhile. You get to chip down the war potential of the power you9;ll end up fighting, and you9;ve even got your hands on a ‘just cause9;. Now you should get everything together, and make the preparations for victory』

看着他惊讶的表情，我开始解释这个计划。

“……哈？诶！？”

“You don9;t mind if we take them out first, do you?”

『It9;s nothing but shady talk. And there9;s an overly large amount of countries maintaining tranquility. Even when their names pop up, for a country not to show a single movement…』

『无非是一些阴暗的谈话而已。而且维持安宁的国家数量太多了。就算名字出现了，一个国家也没有一丝动静……』

『She was good enough for candidacy. There are others giving orders within Zayin, right… this is going to be fun!』

“Once you reach Beim, what do you plan to do?”

0;Porter… you really are a reliable one.1;

“Gastone-san.”

That space surrounded by rockface was a terrain difficult to traverse through. But having decided we would proceed down the shortest route, we couldn9;t help but pass through it.

“莱尔小姐，准备工作已经完成了。”

我深吸了一口气，向加斯托内桑提出了建议。

（波特……你真是个可靠的人。）

“我们不能太大惊小怪。我只希望确保那些被卷入这一切的人的安全。塞尔玛大人，还有前圣女候补者亚乌拉大人都在我们身边。至少，让他们在我身上留下印记，也许我就能结束这一切。”

『What? Former Holy Maiden candidate? That means the rival of the current one, right? … Oh, you9;ve got even more cards to play!』

他那双奇妙的玻璃球眼睛今天看起来也闪闪发光。我们可靠的战友。

Clara approached me.

有目的地规划一条除了这个山谷之外别无选择的路线，并引诱他们出来，这是有一定价值的。

If I may add on, this was a space quite suited to an ambush. With so much gravel, it was hard for carriages to press on. Even within that, Porter was moving without a problem.

在他说完之前，我笑了。

“这是关于追赶者的。毫无疑问，他们仍在追赶我们。我预计他们很快就会对我们发动攻击。”

0;These guys are scary.1;

Aria was keeping lookout, and Eva the elf seemed to have noticed from the surroundings air, that enemies were around.

“We can9;t be working up too much a fuss. I only wish to secure safety for those that were dragged into all this. Both Thelma-sama, and the former Holy Maiden candidate Aura-sama are with us. At the very least, perhaps I can end it by having them set their mark on me alone.”

『她足够优秀，可以参选。扎音里还有人在发号施令吧……这会很有趣的！』

➐

Rather than us, they were going for their designated target: the carriage. I sensed the tense presences around, as I issued orders to May at her position.

他们不是冲着我们去的，而是冲向指定的目标：马车。当我在梅的位置向梅发出命令时，我感觉到了周围的紧张气氛。

0;May, you can hear me, right? Can you see my map?1;

（May，你能听到我说话，对吗？你能看到我的地图吗？）

On the map floating up in my head, a number of red dots were shining. A little separated, was a group keeping watch over us as well. And if the main force failed, they likely planned to return, and give a report.

浮在我脑海中的地图上，有许多红点在闪闪发光。稍微分开一点的地方，还有一群人在监视着我们。而如果主力失败了，他们很可能会计划返回，并报告。

But we couldn9;t let them get away.

但我们不能让他们逃脱。

0;I can hear you. And wait, it9;s pounding in my head. So which one am I supposed to be attacking?1;

（我能听到你的声音。等等，它在我的脑海中轰鸣。那么我应该攻击哪一个？）

I had her undertake the attack on the party watching us from further away. With that distance between us, another risked letting them get away.

我让她对从远处观看我们的队伍进行攻击。由于我们之间的距离太远，另一个人冒着让他们逃跑的风险。

0;I9;ll leave the further ones to you. We9;ll take down the ones launching the attack.1;

（剩下的就交给你了。我们会打倒发起攻击的。）

0;… Sure. I9;ll be back soon enough, but will I make it in time?1;

（……当然。我很快就会回来，但能及时赶到吗？）

I achieved communication with May through the Skill 【Connection】, and told her to beat down ones keeping watch.

我通过技能【联络】和梅伊取得了联系，并告诉她去击倒看守的人。

To a quilin such as herself, a small force of knights was easy enough. The greater problem was the main force that was going to be attacking us.

对于像她这样的奎林来说，一小股骑士部队是很容易的。更大的问题是，主力将向我们进攻。

当周围的敌人就位时，艾莉亚很紧张。她感应到了气氛，将力量注入体内。

我们当场停了下来。他们试图逃离那些小螺栓，但在这封闭的山谷里无处可逃，他们被马车什么的贯穿了。每一处的输出都很低，但这么多的刺穿，敌人毫无抵抗力地崩溃了。

虽然他似乎对我的话有点感兴趣，但我面前的长袍男子毫不犹豫地伸出了长矛。虽然碎石很容易让人失足，但他却准确地瞄准了我的要害。

我用左手的刀击退了它的尖端，转动身体，用右手的刀砍下了悬崖上射来的箭。我借着这个动作，将刀插进了长袍男子的身体，把他踢开了。

0;So she managed to user her Skills to defeat him.1;

“By the way, you really should pay attention to the sky.”

To Clara walking beside me, I called out.

With 【Select】 setting my aim, I fired off a few arrows at the sky. After the first one flew up high, it soon went out view.

When I looked around, I saw Aria stained in blood, clenching her spear, as her legs gave way below her. I ran over, and looked at her foe.

【选择】设定目标后，我向天空射出了几支箭。第一个飞得很高之后，很快就消失了。

“Stone Bullet!”

When the surrounding enemies took up their positions, Aria was nervous. She sensed the atmosphere, and put power into her body.

当我环顾四周时，我看到阿莉亚浑身是血，她紧握着长矛，双腿在她的下方垮掉。我跑过去，看着她的敌人。

Confirming with my Skills, there weren9;t any surviving enemies.

And avoiding it, his gaze fell on me. Those eyes of his were filled with hatred.

我看着他们，张了张嘴，但他们似乎没有要回答的意思。我咧嘴一笑。

（所以她设法利用自己的技能击败了他。）

当武装人员向我们跑来时，我将手中的宝石改为弓，并使用了技能。

当车夫从马车上跑下来时，天空开始发亮。我们对手的注意力转向了那里，一道道细小的光箭如雨点般落下。

“干得好。休息一下。”

“消息已转发给 May。我把看守的人留给了她。她计划完成这件事后与我们会面。”

I looked at them, and opened my mouth, but it didn9;t seem they intended to answer. I gave a wide grin.

我向走在我身边的克拉拉喊道。

0;Sharp movements… but softer than the Sixth9;s!1;

The robed figures apart from the ones that came at us broke down the carriage doors, and marched in. What they were searching for was likely the former Holy Maiden and candidate, as well as the High Priest.

“Don9;t focus so much on me… I9;m sure I said it already.”

在马车周围和波特周围，浮冰墙形成了；仿佛专门针对这些点一样，火开始降下来。他们也射出了箭，但冰墙挡住了他们。拉车的马匹兴奋不已，车夫拉缰绳又让它们平静下来。

“所以，即使我们试图阻止他们，你也会去追寻他们的目标……多么忠诚啊。”

Around the line of carriages- and around Porter- floating walls of ice came into being; as if specifically aiming for those points, fire began to come down. They shot arrows as well, but the walls of ice blocked them. The horses drawing the carriages were excited, and calmed down by the coachmen pulling on their reigns.

我用左手指着敌人，地上的一些石头飞向了他。他甩掉长袍以避免受到伤害。

I left the sabre in him, getting hit a bit by the blood spurt, and used my free left hand to prepare magic. When I turned, I saw the enemy trying to cut at Eva in front.

我把它变回宝石形态，挂在脖子上，拔出了两把军刀。

伊娃也注意到了敌人，但她假装没有。到底目标在哪里，部署在哪里。我对它们的理解就像手掌一样。我左手握住宝石，举起右手施展魔法。

While he seemed a bit intrigued by my words, the robed man before me displayed no hesitation in thrusting out his spear. While the gravel made it easy to loose one9;s footing, he accurately aimed for my vitals.

Our opponents seemed suspicious of my actions, but they sent four running after the carriages. The remaining ones came at us. I stood in front of Clara, weak in close combat, to protect her, while Aria and Eva met them head on.

“Good work. Get some rest.”

As the armed men ran our way, I changed the Jewel in my hands to the Bow, and used a Skill.

“石弹！”

我把刀留在他身上，被喷出的鲜血击中了一点，然后用空闲的左手准备魔法。当我转身时，我看到敌人正试图从前面切向伊娃。

I used the sabre in my left hand to repel its point, turned my body, and used my right sabre to cut down the arrow shot from atop the cliff. Using that motion, I managed to plunge my sabre into the robed man9;s body, and kick him away.

After I warded off attack after attack, a robed group jumped down from the cliffs. Seven in number. Two held back in wait atop the crags.

在我挡住一次又一次的攻击后，一群穿着长袍的人从悬崖上跳了下来。数量为七。两个人在悬崖顶上等待着。

“Ice Wall!”

“Message relayed to May. I left the ones keeping watch to her. She plans on meeting up with us once she9;s done with that.”

除了冲过来的人之外，其他身穿长袍的人也破开了马车门，大步走了进来。他们要找的，很可能就是前圣女和候补者，以及大祭司。

“So even as we try to hold them back, you9;ll go for their mark… how loyal.”

他避开了，目光落在了我身上。那双眸子里，充满了仇恨。

Aria nodded, hung her head, and vomited. I patted her back, and looked around. Eva was sitting down. She didn9;t seem to be injured.

我们的对手似乎对我的行为表示怀疑，但他们派了四个人追赶马车。剩下的人向我们冲来。我站在近战能力较弱的克拉拉面前保护她，而艾莉亚和伊娃则迎面迎战。

When the coachmen ran from the carriages, the sky began to shine. Our opponents9; attention turned there, as small arrows of light began raining down one after the next.

克拉拉的目光转向波特。她满头大汗，看上去并不焦虑，反而像是在努力工作。

Eva had also noticed the enemy, but she was pretending she hadn9;t. Just where would the aim, and where were they deployed. I could understand them like the palm of my hand. I gripped the Jewel in my left hand, and raised up my right to cast magic.

We stopped on the spot. They tried to flee from those small bolts, but in this enclosed valley without a place to run, they were pierced through carriages and all. Each one of them was low in output, but with so many of them piercing through, the enemies collapsed without resistance.

她浑身颤抖，呼吸也变得奇怪。她一定受到了与击杀怪物时不同的精神震撼。我把一只手放在她的肩膀上。

She was trembling, and her breathing was strange. She must have received a mental shock unlike what she felt when slaying monsters. I put a hand on her shoulder.

“别太关注我……我确定我已经说过了。”

（动作猛烈……但比六号要柔和！）

“顺便说一句，你真的应该注意天空。”

I turned it back to Jewel form, hung it around my neck, and drew two sabres.

艾莉亚点点头，低下头，吐了。我拍拍她的背，环顾四周。伊娃坐下了。她看起来没有受伤。

Clara9;s eyes turned to Porter. She was sweating, and rather than anxious, it looked as if she was working hard.

“冰墙！”

I pointed my left hand at the enemy, sending a number of rocks from the ground flying into him. He swung off his robe to circumvent some damage.

以我的技能确认，没有任何幸存的敌人。

And jumping down from the cliffs, May landed on the ground.

梅从悬崖上跳下来，落在了地上。

“As I thought, it9;s already over. Just as I said.”

“正如我所想，一切都已经结束了。正如我所说。”

Seeing her stick out her chest in pride, I gave a light, ‘you9;re right,9; in response, as I patted Aria9;s back, and looked at Porter. The back door opened, and the former Holy Maiden and co. came out in succession.

看到她自豪地挺起胸膛，我轻声说道：“你说得对。”我拍着阿丽亚的背，看着波特。后门打开，前圣女等人进来了。陆续出来了。

They had been forcefully stuffed into the narrow loading tray.

它们被强行塞进狭窄的装载托盘中。

Seeing the aftermath of the battle, Thelma-san spoke in surprise.

看到战斗的结果，塞尔玛小姐惊讶地说道。

“Could it be you really defeated them? There should have been close to ten.”

“难道你真的打败了他们？应该有接近十个。”

Eyes of disbelief were sent our war, and after Gastone-san disembarked, he also looked between us, and the defeated elites.

难以置信的目光投向我们的战争，加斯托内先生下船后，他也审视着我们和战败的精英们。

From the Jewel, the Third.

来自宝石，第三个。

『Now then, with this, Lyle has left a strong impression. While we9;re at it, was it fifteen elites? You were able to beat them, but… Lyle, this is only the start.』

『那么莱尔就这样给大家留下了深刻的印象。说到这里，是十五名精英吗？你能够打败他们，但是……莱尔，这只是开始。』

On his serious voice, I gripped the Jewel. But beside me, Aria was still spitting up. I patter her back, and continued calling out to her.

在他严肃的声音中，我抓住了宝石。但在我旁边，阿丽亚仍在吐口水。我拍拍她的背，继续叫她。
