Nick put the name of the man in his mouth and looked at him.

Tiana rather continues the conversation with amusement.

"Yeah, yeah, it's Leon. Didn't you know a lot about excavating and selling magic equipment? Even the Holy Sword was hidden."

"The Knights of the Sun detention area makes it hard, the knights are cross, and you don't really want to go... go though"

"Oh, honestly."

"The other day, the meeting time came and I ran out of butt dragonflies and the conversation ended. Instead, I was stretching and stretching thinking," I'll have to go sometime. "

"If you don't like it so much, can I go?

"No, good. I'm probably the easiest person to talk to over there..."

"Well, you don't have any contact with Leon except Nick."

"That's right."

Other people nod at Nick and Tiana's conversation.

I just don't know what the story is about just Olivia, "? He had the expression."

"Oh, you don't know Olivia. It's a fraud we caught a while ago. I'm familiar with the magic equipment, so I might be able to get some clues. It's too late today, I'll even try to show my face around tomorrow"

"I see."

Olivia didn't even seem to intend to dig that far, and stayed just to snort.

Nick sees it and keeps talking.

"Just don't expect me to because I don't know if it's going to work. Then we'll discuss your next assignment."

"Challenges? Anything else?

"Right. It's not just a weapon to erase signs and faces."

When Olivia twisted her neck, it was Zem who answered it.

"Even if it's good that the base could have guessed, we have to find a way to capture them. Not only does it erase the signs, but it's hard to be agile..."

"So is that..."

"Tatsuoni"

Tiana and Karan sigh convincing and discouraged.

"Can't you handle it with magic?

Nick looks at Tiana, but Tiana shakes her neck to the side.

"In the end, magic is the same as swords and arrows, and what is it? We can get away from the five of us, so being a human is pretty good."

"Is there some sort of magic that seals the motion?

"If you're an advanced sorcerer of earthly attributes, there's a sorcery called" Tree Whip "that moves like a whip on a tree branch or a whip... I'm a little bad at this, aren't I? And even if I could use it, I think I can take care of it."

"Why?"

"The Vajra Shield is a very difficult sorcery that is resistant to various attributes. I guess I have some way to get out of this because I can use superior witchcraft over Tree Whip."

"... I see"

Nick whines with a sinister face.

"When you do... do you have to do that?"

"Arr..."

What floated behind Nick and Tiana's brain was the Combination.

"Merging" dramatically improves physical ability and magic.

You should never lose in strength.

But...

"Oh, do you have any hands?

Olivia has asked with interest.

Everyone's head works with the awareness that they must be deluded.

"Oh, oh, no. It's a simple story. We'll split the rewards, so we can work with other adventurers."

"Hmmm...... I know it's good if you have someone you can trust besides the party members, but if not, it's hard to ask for cheap. It's suspicious that we can work together successfully, and I'll make notes later with the distribution of rewards."

"Right. Let's go in a direction we won't rely on."

Well, Olivia nodding doesn't seem particularly concerned about anything.

Nick's original intent in his remarks had been successfully conveyed only to [survivors] humans.

"In the meantime, the challenges include 'I'm still not sure what Stepping Man looks like', 'I'll be flirting with Stepping Man's movements', 'Magic doesn't work that well either'... around here, huh?

Tiana said as she counted the fingerfolds.

"Does Olivia have any ideas?

"It's not so much an idea... do you listen?

"Well, you don't keep your mouth shut here."

"Okay. First of all, magic needs magic, so you just have to bring it into protracted warfare. Because no matter how strong they are, they are alone. I don't think I have an ally."

"Fight long enough, and you'll avoid your opponents. Run away before they bring it in there. Wisdom turns to the point of withdrawing as soon as you decide it's a failure."

"But there are only a few routes to escape"

Olivia fingers the lines on the map.

"Don't you notice anything here?

"Hmm...?

"Okay, that's not a fairy tale stepper that my magazine readers pursue. I'm not invincible enough to do anything."

"Not invincible... I mean, with flaws?

"First, this is where it first appeared. It's near the fence of the station carriage waiting area."

"Oh."

"Next... the side of the road behind the temple"

"Yeah."

"Where you were, this is... near the tavern warehouse."

Speaking of which, you had a lot of wooden barrels and crates.

I took a serious look at the map as Nick hammered Olivia's words.

"... I don't walk in brittle places like rainbows or private roofs. You didn't go through any wooden buildings."

The lines on the map are drawn to see the scaffolding through solid areas, such as robust stone temples and assembly areas, thick walls of bricks, and working scaffolding.

"That's it."

"... you're saying that places you can travel to are so limited?

"Right. Stepping Man is exactly like a symbol of freedom Phantom, but in his case he is far from free to go. I think you are choosing a discreet, thoughtful and limited escape route. You'll have to be more careful when you run away with your children."

"If you tap the moveable place into your head beforehand, you can anticipate a route to escape to some extent. but..."

"but?"

"If we're gonna get ahead of ourselves, we're gonna have to be able to move the same place as Stepping Man after all."

"You don't have to be as good as a stepman. You know, the extent to which you can climb and jump walls."

"Can you!

"Um, couldn't you... it would have been interesting if you could have been the third stepman"

Olivia sighs sadly.

"Well, I'm confident in lightness, but flying that high is tough. You'll get away with it while you're climbing."

"I think there's some good sorcery out there."

"It's not like you can say you have magic or anything..."

"... No, I might be able to"

Until then Zem, who remained silent, spoke out of the way.

Everyone's gaze gathers at Zem.

"To?"

"It's not like flying magic...... I have a little idea. May I ask you to hang out with me for a moment to the 'Anemone of the Sea'?

"I can't see the story..."

Zem smiles when she sees Nick confused.

"I'll explain more when I get there. And I want to see how the two of you left it there."

"Oh well"

I keep Aida, who was injured by Stepping Man, and Raina, who was about to be taken away.

"It's not a good idea to keep it."

"Well, I'd also like to see how Ada was injured."

"... can we even enter the tavern?

Tiana looks subtle and asks, but Zem was blatant.

"Surprisingly, you have a female guest?

"Seriously?

"Interest-based, noisy customers can get stuck, otherwise it's fine."

"The world is huge..."

"You're letting Karan go, too?

When Nick said, Karan raised his voice in dissatisfaction.

"I don't like being off the hook here, Zo."

"Yes, Mr. Nick."

Nod as Zem agrees.

Nick was troubled a lot.

"... no, okay. If you're going to be an adventurer, you have to get used to dirty places. Olivia..."

"Oh, I have work to do."

Olivia said no with a pulling back.

Deciding that the city might not be very intolerant at night, Olivia and I broke up, and the five [survivors] decided to go to 'Anemone of the Sea'.
