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

After three days of traveling by carriage, we finally arrived at our destination. We finally arrived at our destination.

　---The fortress city of Ausstadt.

　It is the most important defense base in Ausstadt along the border, and is known as the largest fortress fortress in Arcadia.

　A jet-black majesty to behold.

　The black outer walls, physically and magically solid, boast an intimidating presence that would repel any adversary.

　The main gate seen from the front is also out of the ordinary.

　It is so huge and heavy that it cannot be breached by ordinary siege weapons, and it exudes an immense presence.

　Unlike the glamorous royal capital, the city is built with a pursuit of inorganic and functional beauty, as if it were the embodiment of a battlefield.

　A long line of people formed at the main gate of such a fortress city. The line was even longer than the one seen in the royal capital, even though it was along the border, in other words, in a remote area.

　As I was looking at them with curiosity, Doyle spoke up bluntly.

The checkpoints in the fortress city of Ausstadt are the most complex in the world," .

"I see."

　If one looks at the head of the line, at the person being checked, one can see that they are indeed taking a lot of time to check one person.

"Well, we'll probably just walk right through."

Schneizel-power is really great, isn't it?

Of course. You are the only one who calls him by "sir ".

"No, I've been calling him that for a long time."

Normally I would be in awe of you, you idiot."

"Well, that's the way it is with disciples and masters."

While we were having this talk, the carriage carrying us stopped a short distance away from the line of people waiting for the inspection.

　The carriage carrying Schneizel, his entourage and members of my unit also stopped at the same place.

At the head of the halted line, the door of the carriage carrying Schneizel, with its luxurious appearance, opened.

　Naturally, it is Schneizel who gets out of the carriage. He begins to exchange a few words with the knights who have ridden here on horseback from the main gate.

　One of the privileges that high-ranking nobles have is face-passing. I wonder if it will be a variety of Schneizel here as well.

I watched the scene for a few dozen seconds thinking so. Surprisingly, there is no sign of any difficulty, or perhaps they have not yet been allowed to pass.

On the contrary, some of the knights were coming toward us.

'In accordance with the tightening of the security system, anyone who enters or leaves the fortress city, regardless of their status, will be subject to equal inspection. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we would appreciate your cooperation."

　They make such demands.

As a keystone of national defense, the city seems to be under strict vigilance.

　Well, there was no problem. We were just moving and should be able to pass through easily.

　We willingly agreed to cooperate with the inspection, but...

"What is this?"

The knight who looked at the back of the carriage muttered in alarm.

What he was looking at was the wreckage of the study I had accumulated during this move.

　Countless books, countless parchments abridged, the sight of them piled up was totally out of place in the carriage.

No one but me used the back of the wagon, so I did as I pleased, but yeah, this is so much like a mobile library, isn't it?

'The other day, there was an attempt to import fake IDs by inserting them between books.

'Uh, go ahead. Please check it out."

　---- And so it was that we were more than an hour behind schedule when we set foot in the fortress city of Auschtadt.

️.

The streets inside the city were filled with an unusual liveliness.

　The main streets were crowded with many stalls and food stands.

　Just as a special economy once occurred in Japan, a war that creates a lot of demand revitalizes the area.

Numerous merchants have gathered in Ausstadt to find business opportunities. And it is said that the money circulation in the city is so good that most of the stores are thriving.

　Moving along the edge of the street to avoid the crowds filling the main street, we were on our way to the residence of a nobleman who governs the fortress city of Ausstadt.

We must not be disrespectful to the nobleman who will be our host for some time to come. That is why Schneizel is leading the way at a quick pace, even though there is still time to spare.

　Not only is it normal to act five minutes ahead of time, but in aristocratic society, it is also normal to act an hour ahead of time.

　It's a wonderful custom to care, or perhaps it's a virtue to struggle with such futility, even though it is obviously futile.

　 . No, I understand the logic.

The thought process that prefers futility is like that of an entrenched aristocrat, and it's ridiculous.

　Well, I guess it can't be helped. We are not at the top of this society, so we have no choice but to follow the system and customs.

As I was thinking about this while reading a book and continuing to move along, Schneizel, who was in the lead, suddenly stopped.

　Was this a dead end? I looked ahead thinking so, but in front of a group that was clearly aristocrats, the crowd was split to the left and right as if to ask us to go through.

　Then what?

I followed Schneizel's gaze and looked toward the edge of the road.

　There I saw...

"Ah"

　There he was.

　Shaggy hair. A skinny, poor body. He wore only a piece of rags that could hardly be called clothing.

There is not the slightest hint of the glamorous and powerful qualities I am familiar with in his appearance.

However, brilliant eyes and the strong atmosphere she wears speak more eloquently than anything else about his true identity.

No other eyes in the world possess such a strong light.

　Arthur.

The protagonist of  game , swept away by the crowd, leaps in front of Schneizel.
