"I'm sorry, Sister Anne...... Just now me. ”

After she had completely calmed down, Lilith quietly apologized to Anne with regret.

This kind of thing, since Lisi told her most of the "truth", has become more prominent.

As long as it involves the eldest sister, he will become a little irrational, no, it should be said that he is too rational, and even a little crazy with reason. I was completely thinking about how to find the best move in this "chess game", and for other things, I completely left it behind and didn't care. If there is anything that stands in your way, then you will not hesitate to clear it......

And after completely calming down, it will become very regretful, just like now.

That's right, letting Rose and Quirrell persuade the enemy to surrender is indeed the best way to go. They are now considered their own pawns, so they will not betray, but this point cannot be said. Using Quirrell and Rose to influence the orc army, and using the two of them's special identities to cause chaos among the enemy, is the most crucial part of the whole battle.

★★ The two of them are the breakthrough.

But Lilith undeniably concealed her own selfishness, which accounted for a large part of this, in bringing this forward. This won't be spoken, and it can't be spoken.

"Assistance from foreign clans", "rebellious army", the number of subordinates that Quirrell and Rose can recruit directly determines the quality of their two chess pieces, and they must fight against the eldest sister. And save up enough strength.

"Sister Anne. You...... Are you afraid of me?"

A perceptive Lilith finally noticed Anne's abnormality. However, this is undoubtedly the bitter fruit of one's own plucking.

Anne, who had been holding her hand all along, walked silently in her position later for the first time. She must have been worried about something, or rather, she was afraid of something.

And that object, of course, is oneself.

"Ah...... How could it be, it's impossible. Anne seemed a little flustered at her momentary hesitation. Immediately stiffly diverted the topic, "Lilith, we haven't seen each other in a while. ”

"Well, it's been almost a month. As the topic eased, Lilith gradually moved closer to Anne, perhaps only by Anne, who didn't know anything about the chess game, could she get a short break, "Sister Anne, why don't you wear a mask?"

"I accidentally exposed it, and when I was about to fight......" Anne was a little helpless. "I was determined to play because of the intense exercise. The mask fell off, so ...... After that, I simply didn't hide it. ”

"Sister Anne, the battlefield shouldn't be where you stay. Lilith stopped and looked into Anne's puzzled eyes, "It's too dangerous there, and Sister Anne, your identity shouldn't be on the battlefield." ”

"But I'm not going to be a general, I'm going to be a symbol. ”

"Symbols aren't standing on the front line, are they! Just like chess pieces, Sister Anne, have you ever seen the queen at the forefront? And Sister Anne, are you really the queen? Can you be like the queen, both as a symbol and the strongest in chess? Since it's not, it's better to stand under the protection of others, and don't do such dangerous things, Sister Anne, have you really thought about what will happen to you if I wasn't there in the previous battle?"

"Lilith ......"

"Her name is Samael, and she's probably more powerful than Lucifer, and she's our enemy now, but Sister Anne, you wanted to fight her at the time, Sister Anne, what were you thinking?"

"But ......"

Anne, who was a little overwhelmed by Lilith's words, actually looked a little at a loss, "But Lilith, didn't you appear on the battlefield......?

"I'm different from you! you're a princess, I'm ......."

Myself, I'm just a witch who is struggling for a purpose that I don't even know about. For this, before you defeat your eldest sister, you must earn enough capital no matter what.

"Lilith, I've wanted to ask since I saw you. Anne's tone was also stern, "What happened during the time we didn't see each other!Lilith, you're very strange now, even if we've only met for such a short time, I'm wondering about one thing, Lilith, sometimes you, is it really you?"

“！”

"It's so strange, how can you be the kind of person who seems so excited on a battlefield where the soldiers feel nervous? And then, why, do you say such defiant words to the border guards, and why do you seem to be happy when they draw their swords?"

"I ......"

"It must have been during this time that something happened, tell me, what is it that makes you so strange, you are not the Lilith I know now. ”

"How so, Sister Anne...... Am I still the same one who is fake, your sister?"

Barely suppressing the words that were about to come out of her mouth, Lilith changed her words the next moment.

Pandora said that only the chess pieces and witches can know about the chess game, and no one who has nothing to do with it can know. If I really sued Sister Anne......

No, it's not for this reason that I don't keep talking, it must be because I don't want to take this matter as a burden and put it on Sister Anne.

This is a burden that only belongs to the candidates who are competing for the witch, and they don't want others to share this fearless pain.

"Ahem, alright, let's go see what Quirrell and Rose are doing. ”

Lilith, who was a little afraid to stay by Anne's side any longer, took the lead in taking the lead, although she couldn't see Anne's expression behind her, but she could think of it.

My sister, who has been playing together since she was a child, suddenly got out of the subjective impression, and no one can accept it. But......

Sorry.

What slightly upholds Lilith is that by the time Lilith arrives at the place where the captives are being held, Quirrell and Rose seem to have completed their mission one step ahead. At this time, they were standing in front of this group of captives in high spirits, shouting something. And the soldiers who were in charge of guarding around all had sighing looks on their faces without exception.

In a sense, their failure is really justified.

"Looks like it's been successful. ”

Lilith's arrival made the two little guys who were still in high spirits just now instantly stunned and became respectful.

"Well, I've been convinced. ”

Quirrell was willing to talk more to Lilith than roses, or rather, black cats were a little easier to tame than bears.

"Most of them are my original clansmen, so it's not very difficult to convince, but despite this, master, there are still some who are unwilling to obey, what should we do?"

Disobedient?

There was no need to look carefully, and Lilith soon found a few little ones in the corner of the cage, even though they were trembling with fright, but still staring at them with very "righteous and awe-inspiring" eyes.

Fear of death is the instinct of creatures, and they may have guessed their own end, but even so, they can still resist their instincts......

"Isolate them, and let the soldiers take them away and leave them to the people here. ”

Shaking off the terrible thoughts that had flashed through her mind, Lilith thought of the most peaceful way possible.

As for the result of handing it over to Sister Anne, it's no longer up to me, but at least my life can be saved.

"Did you ask for any other information? Like, who's leading and whatever? ”

It is categorically impossible for Samael to lead a pair of armies, firstly, she is pretending to be a "stupid", and secondly, orcs generally do not listen to the orders of foreigners.

"Well, I did, it's my sister Kate, and that's why they obey orders. ”

"Is she ......?"

I still have a good impression of the Kanban cat lady, at least in the manor on the outskirts of the city, she once stood in front of her, although the purpose is still to control herself.

“...... I know. Don't worry, if it's her, I'll control it a little. Lilith turned, "Don't be happy anymore, since you have a team, it means that you can't stay out of it." ”
