(Previous episode part, ended with Sonsaku and Enjutsu heading to capture base, while Sousou is heading to help main force)
Kazuto: Okay... that went well!
It did... but I hope that won't make alliance lose, right?
It's okay. See.
Huh? Those are...
Sousou-san's army. It seems they're attacking Kayu force from side.
That means... battlefields gets even more chaotic.
Then I'll use that chance to have a duel with Kayu! And then Rinrin will win with a bam and instantly change the tide of battle!
Kazuto: ...Yeah. That's one of the options.
Now that we, the vanguard, are broken through and enemy's fighting the main force, both allies and enemies are confused.
If we take use of that, defeating enemy general, Kayu, is possible.
If we defeat Kayu, letting the enemy through and everything, we can explain with it being our plan.
...I try to explain that idea to everyone.
I see. It's a good move.
I wanted to defeat someone as strong as Kayu fairly... but there's no choice.
Right. Then... Rinrin-chan. Can I leave Kayu-san to you?
Leave it to me!
Then we'll support Rinrin. I'll lead my squad and fight Kayu's right wing.
Then it's the left one for me.
If you attack at once, even if for a moment, the path to Kayu's main squad will be open. And then...
Rinrin will charge and claim victory! (Very risky, I'd say, but effective)
That's it then... but, Rinrin-chan. Don't do something too dangerous, okay?
That is impossible. Duels are all about betting your lives.
That's true, but...
Don't worry, Touka-sama. Rinrin will certainly return safe.
Yes. Rinrin won't lose to the likes of Kayu... Be at ease.
That's... There's now way I can be at ease there.
As she's probably worried about still young Rinrin, Touka looks at her with a worried look.
Onee-chan, be at ease. Rinrin will return for sure.
...You promise?
It's a promise!... Then, Aisha, Sei, I'll leave opening the path to you!
Leave it to us. We'll take you to Kayu safely.
Yeah. It's finally time to strike back. So let's bring all the havoc.
As those two smile fearlessly...
Kazuto: Strategy is decided... now only to act on it... You three, be careful.
I said the best thing I could think of.
Your will... Well, let us go.
Mylord, be careful too... Well then.
I'll be going!
...I'm worried.
Kazuto: Indeed, I'm worried... that's why we have to make it easier for them.
Suitable roles again... Why don't I have the power to fight, I wonder... (Cuz you never trained. Don't start again)
Kazuto: That's not true. Touka has her own power. But, unlike Aisha-tachi, it's not the power to fight the enemy directly.
Kazuto: Fighting the enemy is not all. Uniting people is a power too. (Battle, Leadership, Commerce, Strategy... I suppose they all fit those roles)
That's right. And that can be said not only about Touka-sama, but about Master too, right?
Kazuto: I'm... not as strong as Touka. (You're a bit of all types, though mostly Leadership)
Some people don't notice things about themselves... Master's one of them.
Kazuto: ...I wonder.
Even if I think calmly, I don't think I have such power...
Someone's value is not decided by them. From their behavior... as well as from what they achieved, that value is decided by people.
And you two are great leaders after all. That's what we think.
...Thanks. I'm all motivated now somehow!
Kazuto: Your... no, to answer everyone's expectation, we have to do our best.
Yeah!
What can we do to reach our goal... I don't know that yet... But to figure that out, we just need to do what we can.
Am I correct. Am I doing things properly...
I'll never stop thinking and thinking about that... I want to help people who believed in me and followed.
Kazuto: ...Touka. Let's make a diversion too, so Aisha-tachi's plan works.
Diversion, you say... but how?
Kazuto: We move to Kayu's rear... no, we turn troops so it looks as if we're doing so and we wave a lot of banners.
Ah, I see. And Kayu'll be a bit worried seeing this, right?
...Even if Kayu-san doesn't, I'm sure soldiers will.
It'll look as if their retreat is blocked... Master, amazing strategy!
Even though they're a bit young, being praised by the strategists, whose name remains in history, made me a bit confident.
Kazuto: Well, since you two approved it... Touka, let's move troops right away.
Understood. Well, everyone, grab all the flags we have and head east.
Following Touka's orders, main force's soldiers all begin moving.
Kazuto: I hope this'll work as a diversion...
Totaku soldier: Kayu-sama! Enemy at our rear are moving to the east! At this rate our retreat route will...!
You fool! This is obviously a diversion! See through at least that much!
Totaku soldier: B, but soldier at our vanguard are getting confused!
Solving it is your officer's role! Do something!
Totaku soldier: Y, yes!
...Huh? There's confusion in enemy actions?
Yes... That must be the cause.
Huh? A lot of flags are moving.
I see. Make a scene at their rear.
Our force alone is not enough to cut them off. They're probably just moving so it looks this way, I suppose.
I see... Hinari's plan, I bet. As expected... that'll make it easier for us. (Hahaha, nope, not Hinari. Kazuto can think of good plans sometimes)
Yeah. Leave preparations to us, Rinrin.
Yeah! Rinrin will beat up Kayu, so don't you worry.
Yeah... then, let's go.
Let's go!
Well then, let's commence strategy! Kan'u squad - enemy right wing! Choun squad, attack enemy left wing!
This time defeating enemy is not the objective! It's to lure them! Everyone, bet your lives on it!
