"The plan is simple. First, Aqua will remove the barrier of the Mobile Fortress Destroyer. Then, use Explosion Magic to destroy its feet. Megumin and Wiz will attack from the left and right respectively with magic. Finally, the other adventurers will swarm in and take down the (non-existent) operator. Is that okay?"
The saying goes well.
Plans can't keep up with changes.
Especially when the target group is a large number of adventurers who are not very intelligent, the more elaborate the plan, the more likely it is to go wrong. The best approach is to finalize a simple plan and then decide based on the situation.
Afterwards, the group devised a battle plan with Megumin, Wiz, and Aqua as the main characters.
Just in case, even though they knew it wouldn't work, they still added plans such as setting traps and building roadblocks in front of the town.
The designated location to confront the destroyers is the plain in front of the town's main gate.
In front of the town, not only adventurers but also the town's residents gathered and worked tirelessly to set up temporary roadblocks.
Charlotte was among them.
Although he initially complained about these things constantly, he actually had a lot of experience in infrastructure construction. His insights, even just a little bit, opened the eyes of those who built roadblocks—creators by profession—and they kept coming to him for advice.
It was at this moment that Kazuma Sato arrived with a headache on his face.
Charlotte raised an eyebrow.
"What's wrong? Is Aqua throwing a tantrum again?"
"No, it's Darkness." Kazuma Sato pointed to the perverted female knight at the front of town. "Charlotte, go and persuade her. No matter what we say, she won't leave, and she's causing a lot of trouble for the others."
"Then let her be."
"Hello!"
"Yes, yes, I understand. I'll go and try to persuade them—though it won't do any good anyway."
Charlotte muttered something under her breath, then walked towards the ground, planted the newly bought greatsword in front of her, placed her hands on the hilt, gazed into the distance, and imagined the Destroyer who had not yet appeared. She walked without moving.
"—Darkness, what are you doing here?"
"Charlotte, it's all my fault for acting this way normally, which makes you think that way. I can't help it—but do you really think I'm a woman who's so loyal to my own desires, even in this emergency?"
"Isn't that obvious?"
"Uh! No, no! I am a paladin. Besides, there are other reasons that motivate me to protect this town. Perhaps one day I will tell you that reason—please also pass this on to Kazuma, as I feel bad that he has to worry about me."
"yes."
Charlotte nodded in realization and said, "So there's a hidden story behind it all. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were cosplaying as a speed bump. I was wondering when you transformed into a city wall."
"I didn't!" Darkness blushed, then explained, "I can't say right now, but I have a duty to protect the residents here. The townspeople might not think so, but I certainly do. So—no matter how reckless this might be, I won't leave this place!"
"————Darkness".
"What's wrong?"
"Although what you said was touching, I still feel like you just want to experience what it's like to be crushed by a Mobile Fortress Destroyer—I mean, you don't really think that way, do you?"
"That kind of dangerous thought—ha—how could I possibly—ha—think like that—"
ha----"
Darkness could no longer maintain her aloofness and began to pant.
This guy—
"Never mind." Charlotte waved her hand dismissively. "You have your own principles, so I won't try to persuade you. Well then, good luck, Miss."
"Leave it to me! I am—hmm?" Darkness blinked. "Charlotte, do you know something?"
"What?"
"I—oh right, you went to the palace and met Princess Alice, you must have learned something from her, right?"
That's not surprising, that's not surprising.
The sudden arrival of Dihua left people completely bewildered.
Charlotte called Darkness "Miss Darkness" simply because she thought Darkness was stubborn and willful, no different from the stereotypical image of a noblewoman. She never imagined that Darkness would mistakenly believe she knew Darkness's true identity—even though Charlotte already knew.
Back in town.
His profession was merely that of a high priest, and unlike Darkness, he lacked the courage to stand in front of the crowd. Therefore, he retreated to the town and stood with Megumin and Wiz.
He was a little worried about insufficient firepower.
Megumin and Wiz's Explosion Magic is very strong, but the Mobile Fortress Destroyer is even stronger. In addition, Aqua might fail at crucial moments, so Charlotte is prepared to be a power bank.
If the two burst spells fail to intercept the mobile fortress destroyer, Charlotte will have Wiz absorb and transfer her magic, allowing the two of them to unleash magic without limit.
The fear of insufficient firepower is ingrained in his very being.
"Speaking of which—"
Charlotte looked at Huihui beside her, who was gripping her staff tightly and trembling slightly, and asked with concern, "Are you alright? You're shaking like a newborn fawn. Are you scared?"
"Who's afraid? Who's afraid?!" Huihui couldn't stand the provocation and immediately retorted loudly, "Our Explosion Magic is invincible! It's just a mere Mobile Fortress Destroyer; watch me blast it to pieces without using Explosion Magic!"
That sounds very domineering, but there's always a sense that he's all bark and no bite, like he's forcing himself to do something he's not.
no way.
"Huihui, actually I envy you."
Charlotte's sudden words surprised Huihui.
"—What?"
"Because not only is your profession the Archmage, which I've always dreamed of becoming, but you've also mastered the most powerful explosion magic in human history—a spell I've coveted for a long time. However, I can't become an Archmage, nor can I accumulate enough skill points—"
"What are you referring to?"
"It's nothing. I just wanted to say—if I learned Explosion Magic, I'd definitely be stronger than you."
"What?!?"
This really provoked her.
Megumin is incredibly competitive, especially when it comes to her figure and her most prized and irreplaceable skill: Explosion Magic. However, Charlotte's claim that he could surpass Megumin's Explosion Magic after learning it is simply unacceptable to her!
"You're provoking me, aren't you? Fine, I accept! The Crimson Demon Clan never tolerates provocation! This time, I'll show you that my Explosion Magic is the best in the world!!"
"Okay, it's up to you now."
Huihui was fuming, her mind consumed by the urge to prove herself. She was no longer afraid; instead, her emotions were running high.
Charlotte's strategy succeeded.
Then, he looked at Wiz, who seemed more relaxed beside him, and marveled at how the other was indeed a powerful archmage and a knowledgeable former adventurer.
"And Wiz, don't feel guilty. If one burst spell isn't enough, then two! — You're a lich, you can absorb mana, right? Don't hold back when you do that."
"Okay, I understand!"
Wiz nodded seriously.
At this moment—
[Adventurers, the Mobile Fortress Destroyer is almost upon us. Residents of the town, please move out of town immediately and get away from the town! So, adventurers, prepare for battle!]
Amplified by magic, the voice of the guild counter lady echoed throughout the entire plain.
