Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Kang!

Kang!

Saku......

"Ugh!

"Did you even hit a mosquito ~?

".................." Chi

Arrows released again from the elf man. That was a speed that went unnoticed, drawing a straight line to Yuki, Cortex and Julia's forehead and hitting them as they were. The tip of the arrows also seemed to be painted with something like poison, but their bodies could not seem to do effective damage, either because more than 70% were made of machinery or because of this. It should be noted that only one person was alive and seemed to be reacting like a walking dead, but she is also intact.

Look at those three ——

"Is that junction magic?!

—— Something about an elf that looks wrong. Then he goes back inside to set up the system once or for reporting... On the spot, he jumped, staggering, onto the branch that was on the tree.

Then Cortex moves when he sees him.

"Do you think you can get away from me ~?... Should I keep it with this grudge sunshine ~..."

When she said so, she lifted the stone that was rolling onto the ground, and put it ——

Bum!!

—— and threw him in the direction where the man disappeared.

As a result, the stone away from Cortex's hands seemed to have scattered in pieces in the air. But that doesn't mean that the stone was brittle and broken down. Because of his unimaginable twitching force, he couldn't stand the shock and seemed to fall apart. Whatever, that stone fragment--

Zdwong!!

—— because it scattered into the woods with a sonic boom that...

What happens when such fragments hit the trees in the woods?

Dogogogogogogogogo......!!

Mekki mekki mekki............!!

It was like a giant shotgun fired from a tank, shattering a tree called the tree that was there to further ground the scene.

The party who was watching the sight began to utter words of regret, even though when he put his hand on his forehead in such a deliberate manner that it seemed as if he had no regrets.

"Ahhh... I followed you ~. Now you're going to lose the point of asking Lucia to send you in a sneaky metastatic magic ~"

Yuki reacts with a bitter smile to the word.

"For once, you cared..."

"Of course that is ~? Well, the first person I've had my hands on is the ones rolling over there (...), so I'm going to have them wash up and talk to me in front of Elf's chief ~. Oh, by the way, who hasn't died alone ~?

With that said, Cortex counts the number of elves that were rolling in the narrows of the fallen trees. Apparently, she had noticed from the beginning that the elves, other than the first men she met, were hiding in the woods.

And that seemed to Yuki the same, but she was her and seemed to have a different view than Cortex.

"If I take these people inside... will the people inside listen to my explanation?

"Mm-hmm, you do have that concern ~... I've been worried about it gradually too ~. I can't help it, so why don't we torture the people rolling there ~? As far as we're concerned, as long as we can get the information, we don't care about friendship, etc. ~"

and Cortex speaking relatively loudly, not only to Yuki and Julia, who were there on the spot, but also as if someone else could hear them. And in fact, the voice seemed to be directed towards the others as well. Many elves still seemed to be hiding in the woods that were spreading behind her, as the only woods that Cortex blew up were within sight.

Then right away......

One of the men in the elf, thinking that he wanted to see what was going on from the shade of the tree, showed himself on the spot and said this to the three of them.

"To protect the clan... I still can't let you go through here first...!

Again Cortex responds to him like that...... What made the words spoken differ 180 degrees from the last remark was that it was her identity (?) because it was......

"Wait a minute. I'm not going to harm you guys ~?

"I was listening earlier. You will not fool me! Everybody! Let's go!"

At that moment ——

Brrrrr!!

Dogogogogogogo!!

—— and a rainstorm of arrows that will kill the Cortex. If a resident receives it, it will look so miserable that it cannot be broadcast on the ground.

But there were women with sturdy machine bodies...... For them 2 (...) people (...), it did not seem to be any problem.

If there's a problem, it's just the biological Julia, but she's also not a normal person, and the title is the director of the Mid-Eden Intelligence Agency. He was, so to speak, the man who presided over the shadow part of the country.

There's no way she could easily get into a crisis situation like that... By the time the storm of arrows pouring out of the sky stopped ——

………… Disappeared, you say!?

—— He seemed to have disappeared, as the elf said. That and all three, including Cortex and Yuki......
