C486: Thoughts / Jean

Sorry for the late releases.

Bouddarga loudly complains about his fleeing allies and instructs his ride-hover to move forward.

I admire his guts for not running away in this situation, but I am dismayed at his poor judgment of the situation to continue fighting a battle that he no longer has a chance to win. But then I remember the old Bouddarga and change my mind.

No, no, this fight is too shallow for Bouddarga, who is a……schemer and has knowledge of tactics. It’s as if he never thought about winning or losing from the beginning, then he must have another objective.

When Bouddarga ride-hover paused, several people jumped out of it. Apparently unable to keep up with the President’s actions, they ran away. Naturally, Bouddarga was not among them.

After the people had fled for a while, the ride-hover came toward us again. Bouddarga is firing its meager ship’s guns at me, cursing me loudly.

“Jean! What’s the matter with you!? Try to shoot me down! If you have enough firepower to sink a battle cruiser with a single shot, it would be a piece of cake to sink such a small ride-hover! Why don’t you just get it over with?”

It appears that Bouddarga really wants to end this. Maybe he wants me to kill him in a reckless suicide attack. That guy…….

“Sword Saint, can you capture the ride hover without killing that guy?”

When I asked him that, he immediately replied.

“Mm, okay. Can we destroy the ride-hover?”

“As long as the contents are intact, no problem.”

Sword Saint responded lightly and gave support to Kiyone and the others, who moved quickly.

Brünnhilde’s Onimaru Kunitsuna approached from the front to draw attention, and Kiku Ichimonji got behind Bouddarga’s ride-hover.

However Bouddarga seemed to notice the approach from behind and tried to flee to the side, but Tris was waiting for him in that direction.

Cornered, Bouddarga screams as he fires his cannon.

“Don’t leave it to the magicrafts, try to kill me yourself! You won’t even dare to kill the president of a country!”

He was still about to shout something, but was interrupted by Excalibur’s sword, which struck the ride hover’s power unit with a single thrust.

Sword Saint completely destroyed the ride hover and restrained Bouddarga then returned to Musashi along with the others since the battle was over.

My old friend whom I had not seen in a long time seemed to have lost a lot of weight. I was a little surprised because I remembered that he had a rather stout build.

“Oh, well, surely destroying the whole ride-hover means you won’t feel it. Avenge your brother, feel free to kill me and be done with it.”

“I’d love to, but I need to talk to you.”

“Talk?…. I have nothing to say to you! If you don’t kill me quickly, Dhahran army will come to my rescue!”

“I don’t care how many armies this country has, we won’t be defeated. You already know that, don’t you?”

“How can a bunch of mercenaries have that kind of power? Jean! Why do you always go beyond my imagination! I’m……I’m……”

Bouddarga, who had been so vigorous, dropped the tone of his voice.
