Chapter 395 – 395. Flowers Bloom Even at Graves (3)
– One –
“I’m weighed down by the disaster I brought on myself~♬”
The monohorn hums a song.
Because it was repeated over and over again,
“Heuheuuuuu~♬”
Even Ada hummed and sang along to her song.
“Monohon.”
“Yes, Ada.”
“Is this magnificent song sung during religious ceremonies in Monohon’s hometown? It seems very solemn and solemn to see that it sings about the second coming and revival after judgment while warning of the coming of disaster and destruction.”
Seed profit.
Monohorn smiles.
“It’s an insert song for a children’s play that was invested and produced by a company that produces toys. The person who sang the song is Mawang.”
“Eh…? Is that really true…? Ah, wouldn’t destruction and disaster be too heavy a subject to be used as the theme song for a children’s play…? Crab, besides, Ma, Demon King cares about child welfare… No, do you think the subject became destruction and disaster because Maou-sama cared about child welfare…? Monohorn’s hometown seems too difficult to understand with my common sense…”
“Ahahahaha!”
Monohorn couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
It was because her interpretation was so naive that she felt so fresh and cute.
“Monohon…”
Boo Woo Woo.
Ada’s cheeks swell.
“Are you teasing me again?”
“No, I’m sorry. I let Ada misunderstand. She said that’s what happened to her…”
Mono Horn explains in detail what she knows.
Of course, there was a certain amount of distortion because Ada adapted the explanation appropriately so that Ada could understand it.
But since she’s largely told the truth, Ada squints her eyes at her Mono Horn and relaxes.
“Really…If she had said that from the start, she wouldn’t have misunderstood.”
Haha. I’m sorry.”
Monohorn makes no more excuses.
Just,
Swoop.
Pat, pat, pat.
She taps her hips with her left hand, conveying her apologies with her gestures.
“By the way, Monohorn.”
“Yes.”
“Why did you suddenly sing that song?”
“Well…”
See profit.
A happy smile appears on Monohorn’s face.
Deeing, Deeing.
Jiyiying.
The threads connected to his right hand vibrate and make strange noises.
The smile on his face deepens even more.

“I ate a big shot from the start.”
“So, I apologize, Your Majesty…”
In front of Regal, a man in leather clothes bowed deeply at the waist.
It was to the point of feeling servile.
However, no matter how low-level ordinary soldiers were, the operation he proposed resulted in casualties in the unit of 10,000.
Moreover, even though I already expected it to a certain extent, I was hit one-sidedly to the point where I felt that it was too much.
So it was only natural that he would have no face seeing Regal.
“But isn’t that the end? Besides, the real one succeeded in infiltrating the other side.”
But Regal didn’t seem to be taking the situation seriously.
As if it wasn’t just words, he was looking out of his window with a relaxed smile.
“Anyway, ordinary soldiers are just cards that need to be used sparingly, so don’t worry too much about it. Besides, if you succeed in capturing them, the damage you’ve suffered right now can be treated as a joke. Don’t dwell on it, and constantly devise ways to succeed in capturing them.”
“Your majesty…”
Swoop.
A man in a leather suit raises his head.
Without being able to hide the overwhelming emotion, he burns his respect for Regal.
“And no matter how superhuman they are, there are clear limits. If you induce a constant war of attrition, you will eventually get tired. Pushing with numbers is the only answer, so even if there are some loopholes, we will not be able to fight before. I guess I’ve adopted your opinion.”
“I am the Emperor, Your Majesty.”
Regal looks south through the window, his eyes shining.
“If you understand, push forward more boldly. Even now, the soldiers will be constantly moving north, so it’s okay to consume them much more aggressively than now.”
“Insect!”
Regal was cruel and cold.
As always.

Ding, Ding.
The line rings once again.
Monohorn’s gaze reflexively follows the line.
“What…?”
His face hardens.
It’s because the strings started ringing where they shouldn’t ring yet.
“What is it, Monohorn?”
“Wait a minute…”
When he shows an uneasy expression, Ada starts to get nervous as well.
Monohorn focuses a little more on the movement of the string instead of responding immediately.
It was to check carefully to see if I was mistaken.
Diing, diing.
It was not an illusion.
It wasn’t even a malfunction.
As the string rings again, it proves that it was a real phenomenon.
“This is not the time to relax.”
“Could it be… Did the enemies cross the cliff?”
“Yes. Whether by flying over it or digging a tunnel, some have managed to bypass it secretly.”
“Ah… What should I do? Should I move on to the next step right away?”
“That’s a bit ambiguous.”
Monohorn smiled bitterly.
Swoop.
He turns his head and meets Ada’s eyes.
His eyes suddenly regained composure.
“It seems that only a very small number of detached units have crossed over.”
“Ah…”
“If we go straight to the next stage, we will surely be able to catch all those who passed.
“Okay…”
When Monohorn was facing a large army, using something on the fly as a means was too inefficient.
For that reason, it was important to predict the enemy’s movements in advance and take appropriate countermeasures.
If an unpredictable situation like now occurred, Mono Horn would have no choice but to be limited in his options.
“Hmm… It feels like the tagger has changed in an instant.”
Swoop, Swoop.
Monohorn strokes his chin.
Ada spoke carefully.
“Are you going to take care of the detached unit?”
“It seems like it should, but…”
I’m not sure about Monohorn’s answer.
That made Ada uneasy.
“I don’t think it will be easy since enemies can see where I am in real time.”
“Ah…”
The tracking spell engraved on Monohorn’s body fundamentally blocks him from succeeding in a surprise attack.
I couldn’t even stay still.
This is because, on the contrary, they could be surprised or be surrounded.
“I need to move first. Ada has to go with me, so get ready.”
“Yes!”
As if to prove that he firmly ate her heart, Ada’s voice also exudes determination.
Squeeze, sizzle.
Flange, Flange.
Ada quickly puts on her clothes.
The only thing she had to equip was that.
Meanwhile, Mono Horn also puts on her clothes.
“It’s all done!”
“I’m leaving.”
“Yes.”
Shrrrr.
Shaaaaa.
The basket they are riding in begins to move stealthily, burrowing into the shade of the trees.
Shrew, shruck.
Rumbling.
The size of the basket is also reduced.
The wall gets closer.
It comes close enough to almost stick to their bodies.
Fluff, fluff.
As if they were sitting on a chair, they naturally put their hips on.
The inside of the basket seemed to embody the driver’s and passenger’s seats of a car.
Squeak, squeak.
Shrek, shruck.
A small gap opens in the front.
Sight is secured.
Shudder.
Tree trunks sprout from the backs of the chairs they sit on.
They cross their bodies diagonally,
Whiririk, clap.
It engages with a loop near the thigh.
Woo woo woo woo.
They shorten in length and hold their bodies firmly in the chair.
“You must fasten your seat belt while driving.”
“Ah…”
Her mono horn whirls and looks back at her.
Check with your own eyes to see if it is properly fastened and if there are any uncomfortable places.
Hwaaak.
Ada’s face turns red.
It was because her two safety belts crossed at an angle, and she felt that her breasts were overemphasized.
“If you get motion sickness, please tell me.”
“Yes.”
As soon as she answered,
Shrrrr!
Whoops!
Rocking, rocking!
The basket started moving at a high speed.
– 4 –
“It’s starting to move!”
“Don’t rush into it, tell them to keep a reasonable distance and track it. If you can drive it to one place, drive it to the target point, if not, tell them to follow it and keep it in check.”
“Insect!”
Regal smiles cruelly.
The fight wasn’t over.
– 5 –
Squeak.
Chuck.
A woman in black leather raises her hand.
Jerk, jerk.
The people who followed stopped all at once.
Swoop.
With your index and middle fingers straight, point at a part of the grass in front of you.
Everyone’s eyes are directed there.
Power in their eyes.
Sureureung.
Clap.
Chuck.
He draws his weapon and starts aiming at it.
Eight small crossbows and 12 blades were fired, ready to go.
Even though 20 people gathered and prepared to attack first,
Gulp.
Parr.
They can’t hide their tension.
It was because they all knew well what had happened to their colleagues who had gone ahead of them.
Repressing those fears,
Swoop.
Chuck!
The woman in the lead gives the signal to attack.
That moment,
Whii profit!
Baek!
“100 million…!”
Something hard is swung, hitting one of them in the back of the head.
Slap!
Clap!
The four of them reflexively turn their heads.
At the same time,
Push!
Wedge love!
The four of them counterattack from the rear.
But,
Pucak!
Visor!
“Damn it…!”
All they attacked were tree trunks.
Hard!
A woman who appears to be a leader grinds her teeth.
“The back is a trick! Attack the target in the front, huh…?!”
Her eyes widen
“Is it gone…?”
The target, which seemed fine until just now, had disappeared.
All they could see was an empty bush.
Taking advantage of the momentary distraction, the target disappeared.
But she didn’t panic.
Piririk.
“This is Article 7. The target has disappeared. Please let us know its location.”
By activating the communication magic tool, the headquarters is requested to update the location information of the target.
However,
– Now… What are you talking about?
“Hmm?”
What came back was a question, not an answer.
Even that question was permeated with perplexity.
“What are you talking about, aren’t you asking about the location of the enemy?”
– The enemy’s position has not changed at all since about 30 minutes ago!
“What…?!”
The communication soldier’s embarrassment is contagious to the leader.
Slap!
The captain turns her head toward the bushes.
All she could see in front of her eyes was still an empty bush.
“There is no target in front of me! Headquarters may have misinterpreted the coordinates, or the target may be interfering with the signal!”
– What?!
The confusion is transmitted from beyond the communication magic tool.
As if he was reporting to the higher ups in real time, his high voice and hesitation could be heard as they were.
After some confusion,
– Respond, Article 7.
“Insect!”
The voice of someone presumed to be superior to her, not her messenger, was output from her magic tool.
The voice he heard was not that of a young man.
However, there was no leisure to guess his identity.
Compared to missing the target, everything else was trivial.
– We are mobilizing shamans to analyze the signal. It will take some time to cross-verify whether there is an error in the coordinate transmission. Also, to see if you misinterpreted the command, report the coordinates of where you are currently located.
“Yes!”
Swoop.
She pulls another magic tool out of her arms.
It was a portable localization magic tool.
“The coordinates of where you are currently located are,”
She reads the coordinates marked on it and reports it.
Doesn’t that just make you feel safe?
Squeak, squeak.
Flutter.
Open the map in your pocket and compare it with the coordinates of the magic tool.
– Hmm… Got it. Stay alert and wait. Don’t forget to report it immediately if there is any incident or other abnormality.
“Insect!”
Piririk.
The communication connection is terminated.
She turns her gaze to her men.
“Everyone keep the borders of the saju thoroughly!”
“Yes!”
Tension begins to rise out of control.
– 6 –
“As expected… This was the answer.”
Ada opens her eyes wide and looks at her Mono Horn.
“Uh, uhm… I still don’t know, Monohorn. How come we’ve just dug under the ground, and the enemy can’t locate us?”
When Ada whispered in a low voice,
Whoops, whoops.
Monohorn smiles and strokes her hair.
Because of her habit of dealing with her ur mama, Mono Hon’s treatment of her was not much different from how she treated her ur mama.
But Ada doesn’t care too much.
She must have been very dependent on him psychologically, and it was because she felt like she was young and she didn’t feel too bad.
“It’s simple, because the coordinates they track can only tell you movement in two dimensions, a plane. In other words, they can’t sense up or down.”
“Oh, I see…”
“So, even if you notice that it’s nearby, you can’t help but panic because you don’t know it’s underground.”
Monohorn and Ada burrowed into the ground beneath the bushes, riding the baskets.
There, with his breathing and sound holes left outside, he was eavesdropping on the conversations of the pursuers, the Regal operatives.
The basket the operatives saw above was nothing more than a camouflage bait made by Monohorn.
Because there was no corner to escape, it was a choice that could be dangerous.
However, it was a bar that had to be confirmed, so Monohorn took the risk and boldly chose it.
The results weren’t bad.
No, it was very good.
“For the time being, I’ll have to buy time by cheating like this. I’ll have to do a surprise attack in the middle to reduce the number of enemies.”
“It’s just because of me…”
Ada’s face clouded with guilt.
Swoop, Swoop.
Monohorn shakes his head with a nonchalant expression.
“Originally, if you gain something, you lose something, right? Thanks to Ada, your ability to sustain a stable war has been greatly improved, and the odds of survival have increased overwhelmingly. Even if Ada is by your side, at least you won’t die from injuries. So, I can bear with such a trivial effort.”
“Monohon… Thank you for saying that…”
Seruk.
Took.
Ada leans against Monohorn’s chest.
She was cozy
“Now I have to sort them out. It’s a difficult method to use many times, so I have to maximize efficiency by maximizing the confusion.”
“Yes, Monohorn. I believe you.”
Squeak.
The monohorn covered Ada’s ears, as it was clear that a terrible scream would come through the breathing and sounding holes.
Look up.
He begins to unleash his powers.
