We go deeper.

However, I was in the middle of talking about turning back thinking that there would be no particular change even if I went further.

"Julia, what's wrong?"

Instead of responding to Shelley's words, I just stared at the end of the stairs leading to a further basement.

"There are signs."

It may be close to intuition, not ability.But I definitely remembered the feeling of this magic element.

"Signs? What the hell?"

"The enemy of the time....."

I keep talking as if I were muttering to myself. [M]

A scene that is irresponsibly recalled.

The world when I witnessed Mr. Bell's death.The figure of a full-blown enemy standing in front of you.I felt the magic man's trail. [M]

"Sherry, it was the Magus back then.There are signs of the Magus who beat Mr. Bell... "

"At that time...?"

Moments.

An overwhelming magic element thrown from behind me.Magic elements containing hate are scattered around.Turning around, Shelley, who was in a state of anger, was holding her sword.

It is a magic sword that belongs to Mr. Bell.

The overflowing magic elements dominate the scene as if it were a response to her murder.

"Sherry"

Gently wrap her hands.

Calm down.

"... I'm sorry, Julia. It was almost like that again."

It's like that time.

Mention must be made of a runaway battle.Shelley burst into the enemy in a state of confusion.There was no chance of winning, just spreading my intentions.Of course, I do not deny the act itself.

But that's not enough to beat the Magus.

The opponent is the Magus who slaughtered Mr. Bell.There was no way to be alarmed.

"It's okay, I'm here. Let's prepare for the enemy and see what happens."

I'll take the lead and go deep.The sound of going down the stairs reverberates.

"Yulia, what do you do when you're in battle?"

"... honestly, if I can defeat you here, I might as well.I just feel like they're asking me out. "

Are you asking me out?

"Yeah... it's not normal to leave such a visible trail in the first place."

"... are you aware of our existence?"

Think.

I wonder why the Magus was here.In the first place, why do you dare to leave traces of magic elements?You may think I'm inviting you, but now I'm more pure than that.

What does the other person think and do this...?

"Does Julia remember the traces of the magic elements for each of the opponents?"

"Well... that's right. Because there are definitely characteristics for each individual.Especially, I try to remember the magic elements of the Magus.There may still be times like this. "

"That's very pleasant."

Shelley seems to be falling, but her breathing is slightly rough because she is not sufficiently depressed.

Maybe it's refreshing.

What happened when Mr. Bell died?

Not only Shelley, but I can remember that time clearly.If I could help you a little faster, a little faster... my destiny might have changed.

But you shouldn't be trapped in the past forever.I don't think Mr. Bell wants that either.

And we realized that there was a lot of space before we went down the stairs.

"... Shelly, it looks like they're entirely inviting us."

Why would I say such a thing? [M]The reason for this is that the moment I got down here, my opponent's magic elements were flowing in as if they had the will.

"Yeah, I can see that at this level."

The words seemed calm, but Shelley still seemed excited.I call her again. [M]

"Shelly, I'm in the lead."

"But!!"

My hands were trembling.I'm sure you want to kill, and you can't stand killing.But I can't leave it to her now.

"Is Shelly cool now?"

"That's...."

"Let's see how it goes first. I don't just want to kill each other because the enemy is inviting me."

"... okay."

I agree with the words, but I don't seem to be convinced.But if I let Sherry fight now, it would be the second dance of that time.

Proceed.

"... I was there"

It came out into a big space.The ceiling was high, like a giant shrine.You can see the Magus in front of you.Definitely the Magus who killed Mr. Bell.

"Hey, you two, right?"

"You...!!"

Try to jump Shelley out of the way, and I'll come out.

"Yes, so, what can we do for you?"

"Well, I wasn't watching you guys beforehand.This is where I was supposed to train.I just wanted to talk to you because you guys showed up. "

"Talking? Not killing each other?"

"Oh, we're not a single rock either.You can't kill people anytime, anywhere.There's a time to come, a time to come. "

I thought it was more rational than I thought.

Besides, the voice that answers my questions is well organized. [M]However, in the back, Shelley's eyes turned bright red and she was about to bite the other person.

"You... you're the teacher...!I will never forgive you! Definitely....!! "

"Sherry!?"

By jumping out of my body, Shelly ran away holding her magic sword. [M]
