Listening to an unfamiliar scream, the four leaned back in a reflexive manner.
Without hesitation to the four students who showed such a natural reaction, the uncle urged them to go in.
“Anyway, come in. The barrier is not so universal."
Barrier?
"It seems to cut off the sound to some extent.Don't ask, I'm not an expert, so I don't know the details. Hurry up. "
»» Yes »»
"All right."
I can't think of why I don't want to let this voice out, why my uncle stays here, or why the pine.Still, in order to help the uncle with the expression that seemed to have spoken, the four went into the house quietly.
A scream of pain that never stops ringing.
What's going on in the back of my head? I feel such fear, but I'm still moving forward.
When I heard the sound of closing the door behind me, my uncle overtook the four of them and stopped in front of one of the doors.I knew immediately that there was something there.
Uncle slowly turned back to the four of them.
"I want you to promise me one thing."
Promise?
"Don't touch whoever's ahead. Don't come any closer."
"Why... shouldn't you ask?"
"I don't know the details, except that if I touch it, I'll die."I told you, I'm not an expert on the road.If you're talking about lemonade, don't worry about it. "
"... yes, I promise."
You won't regret it, will you?
It was not long before I knew what the word meant.
Beyond the open wooden door - in the light blue translucent barrier, a boy who was on fire was in agony.
While being held to the floor by some force, a bright red flame was erupting from inside her body.It regenerates instantly when the eyeballs evaporate, and recovers instantly when the skin falls off.The hair is resurrected from the burning tip, and from the mouth it blows out its flame like a bracelet.
"Phew..."
Chewong unexpectedly pale his face at the sight.
It was a clearly strange sight, and there was a sight that was a little too exciting for the world's top high school students, even though they were about high school students.No, even a professional explorer might find it difficult to calmly see this sight.
And there was another reason they had an unusual reaction.
Their agitation was an inevitable act if the suffering person in front of them became an acquaintance.
Tenji!?
Pine was jumping forward.
I kicked the door open vigorously and entered the room.
However, a woman leapt from the shadow of the door to the pine.Stop the reckless act of tackling from the side and mount it so that it doesn't get any closer to the Tenge.
"What are you doing!? Didn't you hear what I just said?"
The person - Kushiro Mui - held down the pine as he yelled.
Although she has a lavish body, she is actually a good former explorer with a first-class vocation.There was no making her hold the students down like that.
Suddenly, a stranger shouted at Pine, who was just a little upset, but immediately rushed out to get out of the mounting position.
"Who is it?!? Get off me!"
"Professor Majorca Esquerra."
"Sensei!?"
Pine opened her eyes to the fact that the ranting opponent was the Explorer above her.
I had no choice but to react because I was a doctor I had never seen before.
"Well, I'm usually in the lab."For now, if you're a student of Majorca Esquerra, you know why you shouldn't get close to Tenge, right? They're all smart kids, aren't they? "
"... I'm sorry, Doctor"
After hearing that Kushiro Mui was a teacher, Pine calmed down a little.
Still, in front of her, there were classmates who were screaming and suffering, and the three girls couldn't hide their confusion.
"Sensei..."
"Now I'm going home."Leave the tenge to Mui and the others. "
"So, but..."
"Still in first grade?"Then I can't teach you anything more. "
Kuchi Romui and his uncle stood in the way of the students who never wanted to leave this place.In order to avoid showing Tenji suffering any more, he physically blocked his gaze in order to fulfill his adult role.
"Now, go home, you guys." Even Tenji doesn't want his classmates to see him like this. "
That's right. If you want to know more than that, you can learn more and become stronger as an Explorer.
When he forced the four of them out of the room, he left only Kushiro Mui in the room and pulled the students out of the apartment.To the four people who said they didn't know what to say, my uncle finally said:
Well, isn't it okay?
"Where is it?"
The serpent gate, which had been piercing silently until now, slightly strengthened its tone of voice and objected.
Although he was an uncle who was challenged by an expert on the road, he did not pull because he understood the current state of Tenji better than anyone else.
"That's what he said himself.Come to me like that and make me another delicious lemonade. "
"I don't know what that means."
"I don't know, don't ask for details."For now, just go home, and don't say anything else about this place, okay?This is what he wanted.Go home. Go home. I'm out of your way. "
Thus, the pines were driven back by the force of the tenge.
I didn't even know what was going on with Tenji.However, I knew that I was not fighting alone, and it only removed a little of Pine's anxiety.
Hopefully they will return in good health again, and the four of them will return to the earth.
Instead of telling Tenji about him, he decided to respect his will.
† † †
Before the Majorca dungeon, there were many people running around on the ground.
A makeshift tent set up right next to the gate was extremely busy.Instructions and questions flutter over here.
How much time is left before the lockdown?!
According to the simulator, we have fifteen minutes left!
A government official, Lewis, who was appointed to oversee the search for the missing person nine days ago, replied that the computer graph and the woman who was gazing at him were stuck.
Ironica, the secretary of Dean Limei, came to them.
“Lewis, how's he doing?”
“I'm sorry, I haven't been able to confirm it yet”
"That's right... there's only a few left."Do you know the current dungeon entrants? "
"I've seen all the Explorers passing through the gate."There were five remaining entrants, and they were on the list as missing persons.The two of them were black rumors, so maybe they were distracted by this disturbance..... "
"I see. Then I'll be in front of the gate for the rest of the day." I'll take care of the rest. "
"Yes, I don't have time to close it, so please be careful"
"Thank you, Louis."
After a gentle smile back at Lewis, Ironica stepped calmly in front of the gate.Louis looked back at her like that.
Then ten minutes quickly passed.
Final guidance comes from speakers installed around the gate.
There are 5 minutes left until the gate closes, and we will start the final count.If you are in the vicinity of the gate, please wait at least 100 meters. Repeat. "
The final countdown to the gate closure has begun.
The surrounding display shows the count in seconds, and every thirty seconds an announcement is made in audio.Explorers and military personnel waiting around the gate gradually move away from the gate to ensure their own safety.
Many Explorers gathered there to see the end, including the Explorer who stood by to see this historic moment, the Explorer who was hunting, and the Explorer who dived through the battle with Tenge.
None of the press was alone.
Principal Limei put in place restrictions to keep one rat out.
So - it changed to the remaining two-minute display.
There are two minutes left until the closure, repeat.Two minutes to close. "
As the rhythmic counting progressed, several Explorers crossed the hundred-meter regulatory line and gradually stepped forward to the gate.
Leon grabbed Leon's head and pulled him back against the Explorers.
"Winter Festival, Chigo, if you get any closer, you'll get caught up in it."
The face of the winter joy oozed with regret.
Sengo's face seemed to regret his lack of strength.
I desperately searched around in my sleep, but I couldn't find a single trail of Tenji.One friend and one disciple could not be saved.
When I come here, I feel remorse.
I knew Tenji would definitely come back.
I came back as if nothing had happened, and I thought it would show my usual refreshing smile.But the reality has always been cruel.
The count has passed "60s".
Majorca Island Dungeon is closing in 60 seconds
The announcement was not confined to the vicinity of the gate, but was disseminated in Japan and overseas.
To see the end of this dungeon that the whole world was watching.
Suddenly, a glimmer glowed from the gap between the gates.
Thirty seconds had passed.
A person ran out of breath and escaped.The person was Kushiro Mui, who was on the missing list.The white coat was slightly wet with blood.
The surroundings were wobbly.
Get away from the gate and you'll hear voices from afar.
However, Kushiro Mui did not leave the scene immediately.
She stares at the gap between the gates standing behind her.
Soon after, two people came through the gate.
An uncle who was good at making lemonade and a boy in a shabby uniform walked slowly next to him, dragging his legs.
"You're in danger, you've been in danger for 30 seconds."
"I'm sorry, Uncle."
I'm sorry!
The uncle was scolding the boy, screaming and screaming at him with a clear blood vessel on his temple.The boy gently laughs at the expression of inability to say anything.
In front of these three people, a person in a red-purple spiral lands.
"That was close, Tenji."
Somehow, Leon always reached out to me.
Tenji, who knew that he was really kind, returned with a refreshing smile, as usual.
“I'm sorry, it's getting late.”
"Your life is always so close, isn't it?"
”Really, that's right... ah, ah...”
Tenji was relieved to see Leon's face, and his body began to fall forward as his strength relaxed.Even though the uncle who was supporting me managed to apply force, it was difficult to support the boy who had completely lost his strength from his body.
Leon suddenly took a step forward.
Well done for now, we're going back to Japan.
Leon grinned softly as he grabbed the little boy's upper back with his chest.
Tenji nodded silently.
Thus Majorca closed the curtain on a short history.
At the same time, the curtain goes down on Tenji's study abroad in Majorca.
