Rice's sky stained bright red that day. Of course, it was dyed red by someone's blood, not that. It was stained with the color of the red lotus created by the flames.

However, towns and forests were not on fire. The sky was literally burning when things like "dust” were lit in the air. Yes, the black bugs dancing in the sky.

And what caused that phenomenon...

"1.24476 degrees 78.00442 degrees 223 m, 1.25631 degrees 40.94612 degrees 456 m, 1.262543 degrees 20.32760 degrees 332 m......"

Burn it up!

Doddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

- It was a mass of energy, emitted from the energy, the laser, the maizer cannon that remained moored on the ground.

mk1 captures bugs flying in the air and mk2 shoots...... The sight seemed to be exactly like a breathtaking sniper and observer. Especially since I'm the same individual, I'm not talking about the level of breathtaking.

"Hmm?!

The Messier, who was watching the sight with the waltzes from an observation deck made into a world tree, had lost much of his word of surprise. Anyway, if I changed my mind a little bit, it would have seemed like energy was rampant and burning down the woods.

It's just, of course, that's not what the energy was after, it was just the bugs flying through the sky until they got tired of it. So it was the air that was burning - from a distance, a void seemed to be burning with nothing.

At this point, though he did not realize that what was burning in the air was a worm, Waltz, realizing that there was no flame of any kind in the forest, with his head, began to speak to Messier, with words of explanation.

"Damn it, if he did, I told him no... and it looks like the swordsman who was supposed to have left the stopper to him didn't work either... when he got back, all three of them, punish him. Uh... Mr. Messier? For once, I'm telling you, that's not burning down the woods, is it? There's no smoke or flames out of the woods, is there?

…… Well, that sounds like it...... I thought it was something the forest was burning...... "Huh...

"It's confusing, though. And... the way things are in the woods is very different from your memories, because it's not like the energy did something to the woods, is it? In the first place, if energy is serious, instead of the world tree, this continent itself, in minutes of things, should disappear and disappear..."

"What..."

"Yeah. Nothing"

And I just say what I want to say, and then I turn my attention to the flatlands where Energia was moored. Such seems that she decided to observe what was happening over a super telephoto lens of manoeuvre armor. For once, he stabbed the nails to make sure the energies didn't do anything bad, but Waltz thought something abnormal was going on when they were still attacking something with their weapons.

As a result, she seemed to see something small in her eyes.

"... those girls, you look like you're burning a flying bug..."

"Bugs, are...? No way......"

"Hmm? You know something?

Waltz, who didn't know about the “black bug” characterised by mosquito-like feathers, asked Messier,

…………

- He somehow became silent. Something hard to say - no, he had something he wanted to hide.

Waltz didn't do anything to quality (just) ask what he was hiding, even if he noticed how he was doing, but instead, she uttered these words of confirmation.

"By the way... can it be some kind of insect that shouldn't be exorcised? Actually, a beneficial worm or something...... If it was, I'd make it stop right now..."

"No... if you're going to exorcise me, I'd love to. I don't want you to stop."

"Oh, yeah..." jih.

…………

Messier thrusts through silence, even if he is gazed at by Waltz. He seems to be hiding something the waltzes don't want him to know.

On the other hand, from a different perspective.

Dodd dodd dodd...

"Ooh... the sky is burning..."

"... fireworks?

"It's like a sunset and it's beautiful..."

"What, what?! That's..."

It seems that Teresa and the others were having such an exchange looking out into the sky in front of the liquor store. More specifically, Teresa, Lucia and Beatrice looked out at the sky as they were used to, and the liquor store woman, Randy, was panicking, and so on.

By the way, Randy wasn't the only one in a hurry. Almost all the inhabitants of the town of Rice, such as another shop and passers-by around the tavern, seemed surprised, fearful, and bewildered, looking at the bright red sky. Well, one day suddenly, if the sky burns even though it's not even a morning burn or a sunset, there's no choice but to be confused.

And another place.

"It could be on fire! ♪ Whoo ♪

"Marie wants to be able to use magic like that too!/(adv, adv-to) (1) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk) (uk)

"... hmm. Looks like those white airships at Margaret's are loaded with some hell of a weapon, huh?

"... you wouldn't know if I asked you about Energia, would you? Looks like it's been modified every time..."

On the terrace of the florist, which was near the liquor store, the two girls seemed to raise their yellow voices as if they would enjoy the festival. Nevertheless, the two adults on the spot had a difficult look on their face and never seemed to feel festive, etc.

"You say" energy ”? The name of that airship."

"I was at first..."

"... what? So, now it's a different name?

"No? Sure it's" energy ”? But that name isn't just the name of that battleship..."

"Hmm. Much better, huh?

"Don't you think... I just don't want to tell you because I don't think you know how to explain it?

"... I don't care."

Say so, and look at your cousins, Dahlia.

By contrast, when Julia looked across the terrace without worrying about its gaze, she narrowed her eyes and opened her mouth again.

"I hope this, at least a little, reduces the bugs..."

"Are you trying to tell me that a airship called Energia is attacking bugs?

"Probably. Maybe... someone you love was harmed.

…………

"But even so, most of them must still be on the ground. There will still be bugs in the state of cocoons and larvae, stopping at grass and ground..."

"Right..."

With that said, Dahlia, like Julia, turns her gaze to the view outside, which was stained in bright red. Such were the looks of both of them with a harsh look on their faces, and even with the sky burning, they didn't seem optimistic.

And it is at some point in the town of Rice, starting with Julia, that words like this are squealed at about the same time.

"It's a hassle..."

"It's no bother..."

"That's a pain in the ass..."

'Wow! Trouble!

With that mouth, holding or scratching your head together. Apparently, almost everyone from Mid-Eden was haunting their heads against the black bugs that were threatening the town of Rice.
