A chill shuddered through me, and my steeling resolve gave way to a sea of doubts. The next thing I knew, I was trembling.

I’m supposed to hit that? But...how?

My doubts quickly turned into despair. The monster was enormous, but it moved through the sky as though it were lightning. How was I ever supposed to land my shot...? The battle being fought in the sky surpassed the limits of my imagination.

My naive plan—and it really was naive—had fallen apart at the eleventh hour. I was going to fail. My scheme depended on the impossible, and as that harsh reality became clear to me, my true thoughts—my weakness—began to show on my face.

“No...” I whispered, doing everything I could to oppose my inner voice. “Impossible or not, I need to do this.”

I couldn’t let my weakness stop me now—not when everyone had worked so hard to get us this far. I mustered the last dregs of my courage as I raised my hands skyward, took a deep breath, and issued my final command to those around me.

“I will no longer be attacking the monsters on the ground. The rest is in your hands.”

It wasn’t an adequate explanation, by any means. Nobody who wasn’t already in the know would understand what my intentions were. But in my current state, I was lucky I’d managed to say even that much.

“Huh?! What’s that supposed to mean?!”

Miranda’s panic was only natural; I’d elected not to tell her or any of the others the whole truth of my scheme in case the monster noticed something was amiss. That...had been a mistake, in hindsight, but I no longer had time to allay their concerns.

“Understood,” Sigir called out. “You can count on us. Everyone, form up around the princess!”

“W-Wait! What on earth is going on?!”

“This is the climax,” Holy Prince Tirrence explained. “The moment of truth.”

“Fear not,” Astirra added. “Things will all work out in the end. You’ll see.”

Despite my decision to leave them in the dark, Sigir, Tirrence, and Astirra had all deduced what I was about to do. My scheme had teetered on the edge of disaster, but their decisive action was now keeping it steady. The rest of our struggle on the ground was up to them; I needed to focus on my next move.

Indeed, everything we had done thus far had been for the sake of this one, conclusive attack.

The battle in the sky was developing at such a blinding speed, but Ines was still managing to use her shield to lure the monstrosity directly above me. In a dozen seconds or so, it would be in the perfect spot. I would need to unleash my attack at that precise moment, and with as much strength as I could summon.

Failure wasn’t an option. I needed to steady my nerves. So...why was I continuing to tremble? The more I tried to control it, the worse it became.

I don’t understand...

It made no sense, I thought...but then the obvious truth dawned on me. My next move was a gamble in the truest sense—an act of sheer recklessness no matter how one considered it.
