It was a black shadowy object. Something like a black space, which we don't even know there might be an entity, looked down at Theresa lying powerless in a forest illuminated by green light by glowing mushrooms. No, to be precise, I wouldn't be able to say for sure that I was looking down. Anyway, there was nothing in that black object that could be called a head.

Waltz and Lucia saw the situation, but they didn't immediately try to help Teresa, neither of whom looked familiar to the black object.

"Cheval......?

"Cheval...?

It looks like a black shadow, an indeterminate body, its unusual atmosphere that is neither gained nor said...... That was just Schwartz.

Though, Schwartz, he wasn't supposed to be here right now. He should now be returning to Catalina, where he would be outside the tree. On top of that, the black object that was in front of the waltzes is far larger than Schwartz, which is only about the size of a person's infant...... It was as giant as a big bear. That too, as if we could take the black bugs...

If you think about it--

"No, maybe that's not Schwartz."

—— which would mean.

"Well, whatever..."

"... Schwartz's friend?

"I don't care what you think, you don't look like your friend...?

"Well, you must...... In the meantime, uncle of the neighborhood, let's just say. Now anyway, I have to help Teresa."

"Ugh, yeah...... Teresa......"

So, Lucia looks worried about Teresa.

Theresa seemed unconsciously lying there. It is unclear whether there is a causal link between such a brand new trail of Oki falling near her and the fact that she was falling, but the appearance was, at first glance, as if there had been a fight here. To parable, Teresa and the ”Black Object” had a fight and as if Teresa had lost...... No way, Teresa climbed a tree, she couldn't stand the weight of it, and the tree broke, not that...

Because of this, Lucia grabs a strong grip on the hem of her sister's clothes and sets herself up... Waltz, on the other hand, seemed to have a different idea.

She uttered this as she walked toward lying Theresa, wary of ”black objects”.

"This feeling, Teresa, you're asleep..."

"What..."

"'Cause look, why don't you clear your ears?

"Ugh, yeah......"

"... zzz..."

"Right?"

"... I wonder if you're really just sleeping? If that's the case... I think you're so nervous..."

"Well, I'm not just sleepy and asleep, but I could be losing my mind, so I still can't be relieved, can I?

Waltz said so, inadvertently stopping on the spot. There is a critical line where she can stably ensure the safety of her sister if she develops into combat with a "black object”. Apparently, she decided to speak from the spot toward a ”black object” that still didn't move off the spot. He could have forced Teresa to retrieve it, but he wanted to do it as peacefully as possible without knowing if there was hostility to the "black object".

"Um... talk, can you?

Waltz to see if “black objects” can talk before we get to the point first. In the present situation, Schwartz in the body was sometimes unable to speak, appearance, schwartz and homologous organisms (?) Because it was not always possible for the "black object” that appeared to speak the word...... She first seems to have decided to see if the "black object” could have a conversation.

As a result ——

".................." Shin

—— There is no response from the black object to her inquiry, and apparently he is unable to speak.

Waltz, even then, tried to communicate by non-verbal bodylanguage, such as waving, but in the end, nothing seemed to have returned from the ”black object”.

"... I can't do this any more, can I? Then we'll have to take care of Teresa on our own. Lucia? Can you do me a favor?

"... yeah, I get it. Now I'll try with care not to fail."

In response to Waltz's inquiry, Lucia replied by saying that Teresa, who was lying about 10 m away ——

Bun......

—— and used metastatic magic to attract them to themselves.

Then Lucia starts asking about her cheapness, shaking about her, when she hands on both shoulders of Teresa, who came at hand.

"Teresa! Teresa!" Yuyusa

".................. zzz" shudder

"It looks like he's alive... but he won't wake up... This, could it be..." Buh.

"Maybe he's just asleep? (I mean, I don't think I can say that I'm alive in the first place...)"

"Teresa..."

With that said and a worrying look on her face, Lucia checks Teresa's body for scratches and stuff, just in case. Luckily, there was nothing unusual about Teresa, and it really seemed like she was just asleep.

In the meantime, Waltz kept his perimeter on alert. Whatever it is, there are black objects in front of them that cannot be mastered, and a small number of worms. Given that they are not sure what caused Theresa not to come near her, but when they change their mind and not necessarily attack themselves, it is very natural to be vigilant.

In the meantime, there was one move. The ”black object” Waltz decided he couldn't talk to, but accidentally...

"... do you know someone who puts (...) and (...) and (...) smells (...) and (...) puts (...) and (...) daughter (...) there?

And I started talking.
