To Save My Favourite Character, I Decided To Destroy the Game’s Plot

If we add Haiyan to the men we have , isn't that already overstrength?

　If the enemy has a superior commander, and if they use tactics that kill our individual strengths, we may lose.

　However, it is almost impossible to say who would be able to follow such a strategy against Schneizel and Haiyan.

　But I never expected that Hyann would make a move.

Have the underworld's policies changed much while I was away?

To a certain extent. The boss has decided that we should be in the public eye too.

That's a big decision.

". Well, it's a pretty ambitious goal for a boss who is too timid. But you have to get out there sometime.'

　There are limits to one' s fame and status within the underworld alone. If you want more than that, the only way is to come to the surface.

　It makes sense and is even understandable. But I didn't think Hyang would be drawn to such snobbish things, so I'm far from convinced.

We're talking about eliminating the difference between the two sides of the coin," Kaine added.

　Kaine interjected as if to add to the conversation.

"The difference?'

'Yes. 'It's something that . Haiyan-sama said, but there are benefits that come from connecting the two sides of the coin, or something like that."

'Huh. I have never imagined such a thing. "

　In the game , the underworld and the front were treated as separate areas, and this image has not changed even in this world where the game has become a reality.

　The two are so dissociated from each other that I thought they would never cross paths.

"I thought the two would never cross paths because they were too dissociated from each other. But if we could really do that, wouldn't it make the underworld a lot safer?'

　Kaine said with hope in his smile.

　It is precisely because Kaine has been robbed of his father's and his own place in the darkness of the underworld that he is attracted to the future that Haiyan is offering.

"Well, that's what I'm talking about. We're here as a first step toward that."

"I see."

　Kaine is the head of an organization entrusted with the maintenance of security in the underworld, and Frankel is Haian's right-hand man.

　If these two shine on the front stage, they could certainly be the bridge between the two sides.

　And the only way for these two men with their guilty backgrounds to quickly rise to the top is on the battlefield. That is why they are in this ten-man team.

　I would also like to add that the reason Kaine was selected was probably with the intention of getting him out of the security organization.

　Two years ago, when I left the capital, that organization had already left Haiyan's hands and was centered on Kaine.

　I wonder if Kaine knows that.

　Well, it's not for me to point out, since I am in favor of Hyannis.

"Well, I'll be looking forward to working with you for a while."

"Oh, and use it well, will you?"

"I'm looking forward to working with you."

"Hmm. It's a pain to be under the boy's command, but if it's for the young man's sake, I guess I'll have to do it."

　Frankel, Kaine, and the old man responded with their own reactions.

Norwin," he said. If you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to ask me.

Thank you very much. I don't have any experience in running people yet, so I may cause you a lot of trouble at first.

"No problem. It is my role to correct them."

"Then I'll be counting on you to do a lot for me".

Ha.

　After finishing my exchange with Vasel, I turned my attention to the rest of the group, whom I was meeting for the first time.

　The members are a mix of men and women. Many of them are young, but they are by no means inexperienced. The atmosphere that they wear seems to be very well-honed.

　Yes, that's probably why.

　That's probably why. It is because they are strong that they are so resistant.

"Commander Schneizel. I don't want to be under this kid".

　One of the members stared at me saying that.

"Let's hear the reason, just in case."

"Reason? What reason? I can't put up with this kind of treatment, no matter how much I admire his Excellency!"

　The young man who was so agitated pointed at me and continued to shout.

What's the use of working for such a brat? I'd rather roll the dice and advance my army!

"Enough, you!""

　It was Vasel who revealed his anger at the young man's words. But Schneizel subdued him with his eyes and opened his mouth with a smirk.

'I see."

'"Because he's eight years old! How can such a kid move on the battlefield against an grown man!"

'Well, you make a good point. There's no way he can cut across a grown man head on, and there's no way he can talk about tactics."

"That's why..."

"Normally."

'You think this kid is a genius? Yes, I admit it. He's a genius. I saw him at a martial arts tournament two years ago, and if he's grown even more from that, he must be very strong! But there is a limit to the strength of an eight-year-old! Are you going to risk our lives to test something like that?"

"You know, Norwin," he said, ""I've missed this. I've missed this."

"Yes, indeed. ".

　Two years ago, right after I started showing up on the battlefield, I was often mocked like this.

　Well, I guess that's the general opinion.

What if a kid gets mixed up in the fight where life and death can change in a minute or a second, and gets in trouble with the chain of command?

Even if they don't, just being there is a disheartening experience. It would be strange to have a child in the room under normal circumstances.

　Recently, I don't get many comments about it anymore, perhaps because of my reputation on the battlefield, but... yes.

　If they point it out, it means that either this young man is more worried than others, or he spends his daily life at a distance from the battlefield where he can't hear the real voices of the people there.

'Hey, Doyle."

"What is it?"

　Schneizel, with his hand on the shoulder of the young man who seems to be Doyle, slowly opens his mouth.

"Three days, and you'll know this kid is crazy. I guarantee it. So, for that time, you and Vassel will be his assistants."

"Huh?"

'You'll see a lot of things when you're around him all day long. You'll see things, too, won't you?"

"Well, not particularly."

"That's why. We are all going to fight together from now on, so let's all get along."

　---Schneizel summed it up nicely and our meeting was over.

　From now on, we will prepare for a quick departure and head to the Ausstadt region.

 

️.

　At that time, at a certain place in the Ausstadt region.

'Oh no, I haven't had a vacation in a while, what am I going to do?'

A strange man dressed as a clown was walking aimlessly down the street. The people who pass by stare at him suspiciously, but seeing no particular harm in him, they leave him alone.

"Do you want to join the fight? Yes, it's not so bad. It seems that Veldra has set up a lot of things for the war, and kicking Arcadia's suffering ass isn't a bad idea either."

The clown continued to talk to himself, twirling his fingertips and manipulating his magic at will.

"I'm going to join as an enemy of Arcadia and fight against the strongest one. It's not bad. Yes, it's not bad. It's not bad. But if it's a vacation, I'd like to get in touch with Norwin-kun, too."

Little by little, the amount of magic power that he could control increased, and after a while it shone so brightly that it surpassed the magic of the modern age.

The clown kept walking, wrapped in that glow...

"Okay, I've made up my mind! Let's go with the development of the mysterious atmosphere of the older sister, who is uncertain whether she is friend or foe, giving dubious advice!"

The resonant tone of her voice transformed into that of a young woman.

When the glow subsided, what appeared to be there was not a clown, but a young woman with platinum blonde hair.

"Mm What would you say if you saw me like this?"

The woman was in a good mood, stepping and twirling as she advanced.

　It would be a little while before she would encounter Norwin.
