We decided to move into the ruins to rendezvous with the Usat.
Without proper lights, the ruins could not move forward. There was still air and signs of monsters in the ruins. Although it was a dangerous place, it had little to do with me and Kannagi.
"Amako"
"Yeah. There's a monster ahead."Let's go the other way. "
That's right.
Share and explore predictive information with Kannagi.
It is only possible because there are two Prediction Wizards, which allows us to progress smoothly through the ruins with minimal fighting.
"It's convenient to use predictive magic."They think you're on our side. "
"If you don't overconfide."
Answering Koga's murmur, he shrugged his shoulders.
"I know. That's because I can see the growth of Hinomoto's husband."It's interesting to talk about it being too visible and cloudy. "
I often say that I let you run away.
Surely, that's not what you said.
Koga feels guilty about the words of Nea when she's on her shoulder with me in an owl state.
"I'm sorry about your time..."
"I don't care so much."That's the result of Zinya's rampage. "
Zinya, a former Beastman clan elder who had taken Mother's prediction magic.
Now he was trying to take Predictive Magic from me and join hands with the Demon King's army to invade human space, but we stopped him.
As for Koga, Zinya was full of ambition from the beginning, so I guess it was just a trigger.
I was glad I could fight you guys back then.
I think the rabbits were scattered.
"Haha, I guess. I'm aware that I was doing something pretty troublesome myself at the time."
I think it is bad nature to do it while being aware of it.
"When the captain went to Hinomoto?Ah, Amira, when your sister led us. "
And so, El, one of Koga's subordinates, murmured with an unexpected voice.
"No, I was the one leading it, wasn't I?Don't make up your memories, okay? "
"Huh. I know, Captain."
Ms. Elle laughed completely with her nose.
And Koga looked back at her with an irritated cheek.
"...... Well, that Emira sister has been training early in the morning with the rabbit!!"
"Ga, ahhh, ughh!!?"
Er-san suddenly held his chest down and began to suffer!?
It's not serious, it's like this... but it's a sneaky expression.
”Er-san suddenly started to suffer!?”
"Every morning, Emira-san and I train......! I envy you......!"
"Wow, good jealousy!! It's a feast!!"
These people are a lot thicker too.
"But I don't think Usuat said that every morning..."
Besides, I don't think it's such a sexy thing.
I would have played a mock battle that would have attracted all the local people.
"... training?"
I don't want to join the lifeguard group like a suzune, but I wonder if it's okay as it is.
While I've been traveling, I've always been protected by rabbits.
Predictive magic allows me to protect myself to some extent, but it doesn't mean I can fight.
I wonder if I can be as strong as Kannagi.
"Amako, what are you talking about...? Are you insane...?"
I mumbled a little, and Nea doubted my sanity.
No... yeah, I know you're suspicious of your sanity.
"I don't think Amako needs to be a Prediction Wizard like me."
"I've only been protected in my relationship with Usato."I don't think it's as good as Kannagi, but I want to be able to move a little bit. "
"Hmmm..."
Kannagi was bothered by his hand on his chin.
Amako is a little girl, isn't she?
"The growing season is coming."
"... erm..."
Coming
"T-That's right..."
I won't allow you to say anything further.
I'm almost fifteen years old.
I'm sure you'll grow taller and taller like Mom and Kannagi.
"Well, you're the same Prediction Wizard, so if you want to get some help, I'll help you."I'll be joining the lifeguard corps, too. "
"Ah, it's a bit like joining a life-saving group." There's also Suzune. "
"Suzune is the reason I don't want to enter!!?"
Because Shinjuku is under the same roof as Suzune, right?
I thought I'd sneak into bed normally... as part of my journey together.
"Stop."
"What's the matter, Kannagi?"
Kannagi stops walking in front of him.
It doesn't seem that the enemies appeared when Veena, who was spotting the enemy with her magic sensors, didn't react, but what happened?
The torch lights in Kannagi's hand were high...
"There's a picture on the wall...?"
What I saw was a picture painted on the wall of the hall.
It depicts... a monster with a long torso like a lot of snakes, and a giant monster like the one that made it bigger.
It was difficult to distinguish between the figure of a person wandering down a maze-like path and the space where water falls like a waterfall, but I knew that it had some meaning.
Hey, that's interesting.
The first thing I was curious about was whether it was the nea that was on my shoulder.
"It was drawn by the people who built this place."Is this... a trap? Outsiders? No, they're not.Should this be called a trial? "
Nea, do you know anything about this?
“I don't know what it says, but I can guess.”
When this happens, Nea is strong.
It was a monster that had accumulated knowledge by using the 300 years of its spare time.
The amount of knowledge and the depth of thought are recognized.
"...... Kannagi, it looks like we're in the middle of a trial."
What?
"This is the Labyrinth of Death (...), which challenges those who set foot in it. It started with the magic of the water, and now this monster is progressing through the labyrinth."
... a labyrinth in the lake.
Looks like you're in more trouble than I thought.
Koga tongues after hearing Nea's words.
"Have you been tried on your own?" I don't like it. "
“I agree, but it is highly probable that we will have what we want before we dive through this labyrinth of trials.”
"... is it a fragment of the Demon King's power?"
"Yeah. There's a glowing sphere written on it, isn't there?"
When Nea pointed at the murals, there was certainly something like a glowing sphere underneath the ruins' paintings.
The power of the Demon King is the reward of trials?... when I think about it in common sense, I feel like I want to lower such a dangerous thing from here.
"---"
At that time, my hearing as a beastman heard something like a sound.
Shortly thereafter, the sound of boo boo!! and the sound of something loud falling down echoed through the ruins.
"...... Cannagi, do you hear me?"
“Yeah. I don't think it's that far.The screams of monsters and the sound of something exploding. "
Rabbit, isn't it?
I think it is terrible to instantly associate the word explosion with Wasato.
The battle seems to have ended quickly because the sound has stopped... but that boo-boo!What was that sound?
It was close to the sound of a flame erupting... ah.
"...... Nea, you've been working with Ussato right now."
"Yeah, right. Isn't it okay if there's rabbits?"
"No, it's not like that..."
Somehow, I suspected.
I want my imagination to come off at such a time, but it probably hit me.
Hopefully, next time we meet, Nea wouldn't be in a coma.
●
Through the hall where the horde of water dragons spread, the passageway was once again penetrated into the darkness unchanged.
“My name is Hannah. Do you understand?"
……
"It's the same demon race as you."You're already dead, though. "
……
Still on my back, Hannah's sigh leaked as she tried to communicate with her twin Dark Wizard sister.
Hannah-san, isn't it pointless to talk to someone because they're unconscious?
"Even if I complain to Mr. Usato, I want to say the opposite. I'm going to increase the number of stupidity, so I'm asking him to listen to his stupidity instead."
……
"Excuse me, may I ask you to step out of my back?"
Nooooooooooo!
As she shook her back, Hannah clung to the deformed cloak and showed resistance.
"I understand." The safest place on this ruin is on Rabbit's back!Please carry me until this is over! "
You're not a wagon anymore.
Currently, the cloak is deformed into a rectangle... it looks like a coffin, but Hannah and her sister fit nicely side by side.
"Besides, there's a benefit to carrying me."
"What is it?"
"It will be a good training."
... haha.
Don't think I'll be fooled by the word training.
Hannah's words are laughed at with her nose.
"You can't train with your weight, can you?"It's too light to talk about. "
"... heh, heh, that's right.I mean, Ushato-kun said I was light. "
"You should put more muscle on it."
I was slapped on the head from behind.
I somehow figured out why she was slapped, but I think Hannah should eat more, as usual.
"It's light enough to make me feel worried about it..."
... well, I'm not going to say anything further because I'm going to be rude.
"It's true that Hannah seems to be poor."I don't think I can live in the woods. "
Looney muttered that as she listened to Hannah and me.
"Keira-chan, give me enough food for a day now.I'll eat it and grow bigger. "
It's no good because it's a waste.
It's too extreme.
While comforting Hannah, who was plainly shocked by Keira, who had no heart or a cold voice, Aul, who was silently watching our interactions, shrugged his shoulders.
Usato-kun, I think it's better to take a heavy look at a situation where I'm the only common sense person in the enemy force.
……?
…………?
"Aur-san is a common sense person...?"
"Excuse me!! It's still a short date, but can I poke it once?!"
No, I don't think you're a common sense person who works for Rose.
In the first place, it should be abnormal at a time when you are maintaining a solid consciousness without being distracted by the remains.
However, this reaction of Mr. Aul is a good sign.
"Fu, you're finally starting to look like one." Keep up the good work. "
"I-It's so irritating...!! It's exactly the same as my late gorilla colleagues...!!"
I think this kind of exchange is also necessary for Aul-san.
... hmm? Your healing magic bullets have disappeared.
"The healing magic bullet is about to run out." Yes, please. "
"Well, thank you."... after all, I'm not as thin as you think? "
Are you suspicious of me?
Well, let's be a little honest.
"In fact, it's only Aur-san who is thinning it down by saving magic power."Aul-san, healing magic doesn't work, does it? "
"Ah, that's what it was about."Speaking of which, I was a corpse, so healing magic didn't work at all..... "
"Hahaha."
As the two of you laugh, I can feel Hannah's gaze from my back.
I don't know what eyes you're looking at, but I don't want you to look at me like that.
It's for your own safety, isn't it?
"... nh, a dead end?"
While I was talking, the magic bullet I was throwing was blocked by something like a wall.
At first, I thought it was a dead end... but it wasn't.
Unnaturally, a hole in the bottom... Is something like water flowing?
Ussato-san, this is......
Aqueduct, right?
When I headed to the end and illuminated with lights, the sight of water flowing like a river into the space like a newly exited passage jumped into view.
Hannah put her hand on my back and looked around wide, opening her mouth as she thought.
Maybe the water dragon came in from here.
“I see, but there's no scaffolding, and it's hard to walk.”
Besides, I don't know where this waterway leads.
For the time being, I threw a healing magic bullet into the waterway to find out where it was connected to.
What do you say...?
"... it seems to be spreading out over a wide space."
It's far away.
Moreover, I don't know whether the waterway runs like a waterfall or what lies ahead.
"I'm going to run a little blast detection."
"Don't make words that don't make sense."
Throw healing burst munitions that adjust the blast time and detect large spaces.
In a matter of a dozen seconds, the healing burst munition burst, and the broad structure became clear.
"It's quite spacious. I can't grasp the magic power of the bursting shells..."
Is it okay to go on like this?
The course of the waterway is steep, but not so fast that I can't get back.
"But I don't know what it is..."
"It doesn't make sense to turn back, so we have to keep going, right?"
Aur-san spoke such a word to me, who was troubled.
Looking at her with surprise, she put her arms together and raised her index finger.
"This is the time to move forward."It's much better than stopping. "
... oh, I see. This is what Rose was talking about.
The strength of the mind to be positive in any situation.
She felt the strength of her anxiety and fear of being trapped in the ruins just by showing her such a figure.
"Well then, let's move on!" Keira!! Diving form!! "
Roger that!!
"... eh, I want to cum...?"
Cover Hannah and her sister on my back with something like a box made of cloak.
In addition, the collar of the cloak changes like a mask and replaces the cylinder.
"Looney, you're with Hannah."
"... I see."
Looney jumped into Hannah's arms on her back.
At that time, while smiling bitterly at her with a happy scream, she reached out to Aur-san in the same way as when she was a water dragon.
Come on, Aul-san too.
"I won't be surprised anymore... hah, hahaha..."
Aul-san moved to his back and got ready.
".... All right."
Thanks to Keira, you can breathe underwater.
Keira's cloak's ability to move and my healing acceleration fist made it possible.
"Let's dive!!"
Oh!
Jump into the waterway and let yourself be swept away by the current.
Of course I'm worried, but as Aul-san said, it's much better than just stopping here.
