Fog-wrapped barren wilderness.

That was what Lucia's hometown was like.

Exactly one piece of peppergrass has not grown, the expression is appropriate.

Lucia standing next to me, as usual, doesn't have much expression.

But her fist was very gripped.

The skin of my palms was torn with my own nails, so that my blood could spill out.

"Lucia."

I held Lucia's left hand with my right hand.

When I realized, I was doing that.

I couldn't watch.

"I'm sorry. I'm a little confused."

"Sentiment, let's do it later"

"Yes, I'm on a mission now."

I haunt my heart, pull Lucia's hand, and walk out.

A leading soldier pointed to some of the extinct walls that suddenly emerged from the mist, "Here it is," he said.

"Here, is the entrance to the intrusion?

"No, ahead of climbing this wall, a Courtove team is currently launching a towing attack. Break through all enemies and follow the path."

Courtove...... High Department, oh, you know what?

Besides, is the Higher Department buying me time......

Ma, if that's the case.

"Sammon Griffon"

I called the Eagle Demon with the lion's lower body.

It's a monster with a total length of more than five meters.

Rise to its back.

Lucia rode behind me and hugged me.

Two soft puffs on my chest are crushed on my back.

A bit of a heartbeat, but once again ignored.

Drive the griffon and rise to the sky.

Due to the deep fog, I order you not to go too fast and increase altitude as you swirl.

Out on the cliff.

On the wind, I hear a fierce sword strike.

The sound of anger, screaming, and shengqing.

Ahead, someone is fighting monsters.

But because of the deep fog, I'm not sure where it is.

"Let's get off the griffon"

Lucia came.

"On earth, I think I can show you the way."

"Even if the forest disappears?

"If it is this land. If it is the soil of this land."

I see, let's try to believe her.

I make Griffon lower his altitude.

Griffon landed on a chopped cliff.

Get off the griffon and convert this user demon to MP in a dipotation.

Lucia licked the dirt on the ground.

I wonder if you know anything about that.

"This way."

Walk out without hesitation, toward the front left.

Oh, you really know...

That's the elf, I wonder.

Or because she's a princess?

Because you were specially trained?

I don't know.

It's just that ever since I got here, Lucia's expression is dark.

Well, if my hometown was changing like this, would it be hard?

I rushed after her and wondered if I should speak up.

In the end, I couldn't speak up.

Because her expression has never been harsher.

While searching for words, from side to side, there was another voice.

"It's Lord Cuz."

The voice of a man with a unique tone.

Me and Lucia stop.

Coming out of the fog, of course, was a young man in a ninja outfit.

"Senior Nobushi. It's the same."

"Mm-hmm. Reinforcements, I've been waiting for you. Lord Cuz seems to be doing well, more importantly. So, the... the note I gave Mia..."

"I have a good potato for seniors and a lot of it, but for now, thank you for providing gas."

Senior Nobushiki started whistling at him after he muttered like a toad.

I can afford this one on the battlefield......

"You don't have to worry, I don't resent you. Rather, thanks to my predecessors, this is how I live. I sincerely think so."

"Mmm. If that's what you're saying, even as an awkward..."

"Oh, well, what can I tell you?

Behind Senior Nobujo, the voice of a woman.

A ninja, fearless of nothing, trembles in awe.

It was Keiko, my fiancée, who made me a senior at Nobushiki.

"Hey, it's nothing! Come on, Lord Cuz, Lord Lucia! Come quickly!

"Oh, my God, I'm in a hurry. Cuz, didn't you tell me what happened later?

Keiko sneered, dyeing her hands with blue blood.

I said yes to the power.

Or I just had to answer.

Senior Nobushiki may have been looking at this one with a slight glare.

But, 'cause, hey.

Even I can't resist Keiko...

"There are currently several large monsters hanging near the entrance to the hidden intrusion route."

"So you're saying the intrusion route is clear?"

"It's possible..."

"Probably not," Lucia raised her hand.

"What is that monster, in Crimson Turtle?"

"A local soldier would have said that when he saw that... It would be more than five meters long, it's a giant turtle."

"Okay, no problem. Originally, our country created an entrance to and exit from the Crimson Turtle habitat."

Lucia says Crimson Turtle is a gentle monster, although his sense of territory is strong, and he doesn't do anything about following someone's orders.

A long time ago, he was summoned by the elves and rooted in a land of his own accord.

He says it's not a dangerous monster if you don't get close.

"Do you have such a monster?"

"It's hard to understand because we call everything a monster, but essentially, that's like a demon of use. However, I like the Mana of the land on my own and am still sitting there after the summoner is gone..."

For once, they called it something like an experiment in ritual summons.

Ritual summons, huh?

I see, is that what you have......

"So with Lucia, we can handle Crimson Turtle, too?

"Crush it with fire magic, do you mean"

Nah, it's natural now.

Keiko chuckles.

"If there's a royal elf, there's a way to follow it."

"If you were a royalty caged in the land, you could have mastered such magic. But I..."

Oh, well.

Lucia's no ordinary royalty in the first place......

Luckily, he seemed to know how to manipulate Rown's underground trees.

"If that's the case, it's not the turn of the awkward!

Senior Nobushiki stretched his chest.

You mean you'll come out with a maneuver?

Um, I guess I can crush it if I want to crush it with Lucia's offensive magic, but I don't want to wear out the MP here right now, and I wonder if that's the best.

"Please don't push me"

"Regardless. Easy for us first-rate ninjas to buy their dull monsters time!

"Yep. Kōjo-kun, 'Leave this place to the awkward! I've been wanting to do this for a long time."

I saw Mr. Nobuo with my eyes. [M]

Senior Nobujo twisted his hips, "Yiyan".

"It's disgusting. And it's like Mia."

"Don't forgive me for making fun of my sister!

"Does it cut backwards there..."

Oh, yeah, and I take a pack of clay out of my rucksack.

It's plastic explosives.

"In our case, Lucia's fire magic is more convenient, and use it there"

"Oh, thank you very much."

Ninjas were happy to receive plastic explosives.

But on second thought, I wonder if this stuff works against a monster.

No, depending on the installation, maybe there is something like that?

That, aside.

The four of us stop at the foggy valley entrance.

Ahead lies the Crimson Turtle habitat, and the entrance to the secret intrusion route.

"Crimson Turtle exhales flames from his mouth. Attention."

Lucia said so, putting a high resist fire on all four.

I'll only keep it for a few moments, but if it just works positive and breaks through, this one would be better

Thirty seconds after the Awkward, we're going in.

As such, Senior Nobuo and Keiko rush out into the valley.

So much less, I heard the roar of the beast.

Boom, and the wind roars.

The fog is blown away.

The hot air came to us.

This is the aftermath of the braces!

Wow, is that how it gets here?

Seniors, I don't know...

No, well, I can't imagine those two losing visions.

You two are insane.

"Thirty seconds, it's been"

In Lucia's words, it returns to me all the time.

"Let's go."

Haste and kick the ground.

The two of us are still entering the hot air gushing valley.
