Different worlds of the last heaven and knights of the fist.

--Little by little.

But surely, the time is approaching.

"... little one. What's the matter, again?"

Located at the southernmost end of Badalnois, in the border region of Halschwart.

Under Hyodoro Gorch, the soldier captain of the city, Greefoot Martihawk... also received communications from Griffinia again on the twelfth day of the Pure Bud month.

"Uncle... I think there may be a regular soldier named Hefner Agston who has his seat there."

"Ah, what's wrong with him?They should still be there. "

"... one of the Lenore Schne-Growthwitz cases will be solved soon."

Hydro, who had been listening to the paperwork on the desk, accidentally took them off.

"Huh!? Or are you going to fix it!?Finally..... "

Really a month and a half. That much time has passed since Lenore and Mertina disappeared at the beginning of the year.Frankly, it's about time you finished.

"... yeah, well.If things go smoothly like this, it's a story of.... "

"Hmm? And what does Hefner have to do with it?

"... yeah. Actually... Uncle...Now... is there anyone around?

"No. I'm alone."

"... I see, that's good.Now, please... "

In the snow that hives and piles up.

As Mertina and Lenore gazed through the binoculars as they entered the inn, the soldiers exhaled.

How many days have passed since they were found?

(... again... was it just an outing...)

But if you think about it carefully, it is snowing today.The soldiers were as happy as they were now as they had been with the cold ones on their shoulders.

Snow runways are used during the day because it is snowing.At least in the meantime, they can't get in there.

(... yes... yes.You didn't have to be so nervous to watch me....)

Not only physical, but also mental fatigue is piling up.I think I'm retarded.

Night is still the night to watch out for.Fortunately, my time is almost over.I'm supposed to take it over to a colleague.

(... but... how long will it last...?This situation.....)

It's never easy to always be prepared when the "time" comes.Nothing can endure beyond the sight of the end.

(And... the suspicious organization they're giving you... Orchester?I don't know how they'll move, an unknown situation...)

General Bendism, who is in charge, has informed me that you should concentrate on your work without worrying.

Perhaps there's nothing to worry about because that wartime tactician says...

Anyway, the current situation is that the pressures of air continue due to various factors.

Even a trained soldier was approaching his limit.

"Sorry, Len. Looks like we're at our limit."

In a dimly lit room, in a narrow room with no food, Mertina Snow, who sat on her bedside, murmured.

"The buying and selling is already tough.In this situation, it's not very good, but I can't look for the guy... I can't believe I just walked in here. "

".... nh"

Lenore nodded small as she thought.While removing and hanging the glasses I was holding in my pocket.

"Besides, I think Len also noticed that... when we enter the northwestern part of the city here, people are always wandering around.... 'The numbers are almost always with me.' "

Badalnois in winter. It is not uncommon for people to come out to get rid of snow.

However, it is an area that uses a snow-capped waterway that leads to the northwest outlet.The number of people on the street is almost the same.

The facial blemishes and clothes are different each time.But...

"... they're watching us not to enter the waterway."

"Probably. I don't know what to say... it feels like a random thing where people are deliberately placed at equal intervals."

Being so vigilant, I'm sure the northwestern outlet cannot be physically held back.That's how I'm keeping an eye on you, because there's nothing I can do if you jump in.

"Did you notice that we were using a waterway, Mr. Bergrette?

Lenore accepts Mertina's words silently and small.

"... I'm sure it is.... and keep an eye on the road. "

"The content of Len's letter of arrangement changed very quickly.When we found ourselves lurking in this imperial capital, we immediately blocked the exit.... except for one part of the northwest. "

"... yeah"

Hmm. You're no worse than Emmanuel.And of course, there's no way they'll get through this place. "

I wouldn't use a hand that blocks it beforehand.

If we know we can't use it, we can safely remove the outlet from the escape option, and above all, if this place is blocked, the people will be in trouble.Even in this case, you have to be careful about that.The person she is.

(... bell...)

I've been invited.At the discharge port on the northwest side of the Imperial Capital.Come on, come here.

As a matter of fact, Lenore and the others have no choice but to go there.

"I guess I'll have to... do it now."

Fu, and Meltina smiled as she sighed.

Take the other plan and break through.

"Mel...."

"Don't look so anxious.My name is Mertina Snow.Besides, at least... I'm glad Svorne isn't here."Maybe" can be stopped just in case from right in front of me.No, I can't. "

……

There, Lenore kept quiet.Meltina glances at what you have to say.

"Len, are you worried?Um... Lugo Aliumi... "

"... yeah.... he's strong.... niisama will definitely not pull the trigger. "

Lenore himself, I've seen him close by.

A strange boy came to the academy suddenly one day.

Pierce the evil dragon Favernale with his fist and knock down Dino Gaylrowen.Then he contributed to the suppression of terrorism in King Raindeer's capital, and finally ruled over the heavenly bombardment banquet of Lefe.

"It's okay. Well, I admit that oniisan is strong.The world is huge... I didn't think there was such a strong man at that age.And it was useless.... still. "

"Penta", which shines white eyes and has the strongest title in the north, engraves an incredible smile.

He can't reach me.

"... Mel..."

That's inspiration. It is the instinct of a strong person who acknowledges the opponent's abilities but wants to assert that he is stronger.

But that seems to suggest that the boy could stop Mertina, casting a disturbing shadow on Lenore's heart.Actually, it's my first time. Meltina was so upset.

"Well, before that... he can't use Oracle, can he?Then you can't even stop me in the first place. "

That made sense.

The guerrilla can even run at the speed of a horse, but it's impossible to imitate flying.

He is not a chanter (Mage).

Whatever you do, you actually have to distance yourself.We can use this technique to make time for glides and leaps to heights.As long as we don't face each other on a flatland with nothing to do, we'll be fine.

(.... nh.... nothing, flat land...)

Meltina looks up at the ceiling with a cumbersome mouth as she looks at Lenore spreading the map over her sitting lap.

"The hardest thing we can do to break through the siege... will be the Whites."

National heroes calmly analyze it.

Warrior soldiers who entered past wars.In the absence of the Snowstorm White Knights Gracela Duela, their superior organization, Omzolf would have ordered them to participate.

They have been reliable allies in past civil wars, but this time they will be the biggest enemies.Even in Mertina, we cannot be alarmed if we put a lot of them ahead.

"Probably no mercenaries or bounty hunters.I don't want to disturb my footsteps with someone who wants to see Len in front.I don't know who found us, but I think we're gonna end up paying them a 10% tip. "

".... nh"

"What's wrong, Len?Staring at the map with enthusiasm. "

"... here"

It is a map of the northwestern part of the Imperial Capital.We figured out the escape route many times to get to the only escape point.There are a number of lines engraved with a hard pen.

"... 800 miles north of Gotofree Clinic.... the roads on both sides are narrow and tall, so we have to get through this empty space to avoid a raid.... even if it's a simple road, it's closer to getting through here. "

"Nh... which one... is it?I wonder if there's a choice but to go straight ahead... "

And there, Mertina seemed happy with her line,

"... do you have any other choice?"

Lift the edge of your mouth.

"I see. Lyugo Aliumi, if you're going to set it up, it's more likely that you'll be waiting there."

"... Mel"

"Haha, so don't look so worried.It's okay, I know. I'd like to ask him once and for all... but it's not the right time. "

"... yeah"

I'm sure that boxing racket boy will be sent to this place.A flat, open, unobstructed open space.It's a terrain where he can play his field of expertise.

"... his leg strength is comparable to that of a horse.... to shake it off... "

"Oh, that's what you said before.I can't believe it's a little hard on a horse without using physical enhancement, but if Len says so. "

While laughing bitterly, Mertina's white eyes are serious.

"But it's not a surprise.Luckily, we have two ice attributes.For example, if you freeze the scaffold and make it slippery, you can easily lose mobility. "

".... nh"

He is not a chanter (Mage).Such a solution should be extremely effective, since anything must move its feet to the ground.

"It's okay, Len.Let's get out of here.I'm sure it'll work. Maybe he'll follow me if he finds out I left the Emperor's City. "

"...... yeah"

Voices tend to sink naturally.

Lenore blamed herself because of me.

Mertina alone can break through from anywhere in the first place.However, she will never imitate it.

(... for me...)

Meltina's voice is playing while she is steadily being pursued.Don't let your friends feel any anxiety.

I'm sure you're confident.She is, after all, a legendary hero in the old Civil War.You must confront hundreds of enemies without fear.

"Well, when are we going to decide?First day or night.Of course, it is true that there is no water discharge and the night that is not visible to the public, but the other side should know that.Lunch is noon, and when it is a clear day when the waterway is not used, it is quite limited.I don't know if such a day will come soon, and it's easy to read when I come... "

"... yeah"

Hmm. Len, is something bothering you?

I don't know what I'm thinking without expressions.A lot of people say that about Lenore, but Mertina is different.Notice the emotional movement that should not have occurred in the gift.You'll notice.

……

And so did Bergrette and Mia.

Lenore says as he shakes off the fun days of his college life with the girls and everyone in his head.

"... I have a plan for escape."

--Definitely break through the siege.

How do you get through Omzolf and Bergrette for that?I'm sure if we don't do this much, we won't be able to get behind them.

When I told her about the plan, it was unusual for Mertina to open her mouth and become stiff.

It's just a few seconds.

"-Like that. That's fine.It's funny. "

The female hero, who was also known as a stepmother during the Affiliated College, agreed with me with a naughty smile.

That afternoon, Migas Sintia was relaxing in her room to enjoy reading.

"Fufu"

I'm having fun. Yes, it is.Emotions such as "joy" and "ease" are important.

Essential condiments that add color to your life.

There is no one to blame for tasteless dishes.In other words, feelings that are indispensable for living.

What Migas Sintia is seeing now is a story that links fantasies that are not real events.So-called novels.

It was called the Mystery Book, where various schemes and breakthroughs erupted.

It's naive, unrealistic, ridiculous, and this can't happen.

That's why it's interesting.

Was it more than ten minutes after the door was slammed modestly into the fictional world?

"It's open."

Return to reality with that sound and your own voice.

"Yes, I have a letter for you, Migasinthia."

My peeking men... take it from the others, rather than from each other, called the Whites.

Bye.

"Kuku, thank you."

A name for yourself, written in a beautiful handwriting.It's a woman's handwriting.

While returning to the chair, I turned around and changed the sender.

"... nnh ~?"

But strangely, it doesn't say anything.

If you look at the table again, there are definitely letters written for you.

(Oops. It doesn't seem like it's because of a dramatic woman who's burned by me...?

Oddly enough, he opened it, checked that there were no blade types, and pulled out a few pieces of paper that were inside -

"Fu, Kukuku"

The puzzle is exciting.

All the letters were blank.

Nothing is written on the front or back.

………………

But it is.

(F. Speaking of which, when I was a kid... you played.(with the Griff guy)

He also helped me to read the fascinating novel I just read, and he casually put the idea into action.

Grab the Phosphorus Size "Match" from the cabinet and ignite.I put paper on it.

"Kufu, hahahahahaha"

Letters have emerged.

I didn't think so, but this is really how you set it up.

Oh, that's ridiculous.So fun.

Now, what does this sender want to tell himself?

The man of joy who followed the burnt script with his eyes,

…… Fufufufu, fufufufu, fufufufufufufufufufu...!I see... I don't know... "

After a brief laugh.

"... fun. It's really fun.I haven't seen such a fun reality in a long time..... "

I dreamed of looking out the window in full comfort.

Flying, ridiculous, impossible...

But that reality, which will certainly happen, will certainly be enjoyable.

Well, here's the problem.

When will the Lenore escape the Emperor's capital?

(Hmm....)

With such a question in his head, Iwate looked up at the ceiling of the waiting room.

There is no doubt that it will happen soon.

So, day or night?

In the evening, there is no snow removal work and snow runways are not used, so you can pass through here peacefully.In addition, it is easily disputed into the darkness of the night, and it is difficult to see.It is a good way to escape, so many people are wary of "destiny".

On the other hand, snow removal work is carried out almost every day during the day, and a large amount of water and snow flows through the snow flow channel with great momentum.

That is no exception to today's rule.

Water is not always flowing throughout the day, but the time varies depending on the amount of snow that falls every day.Basically, it is said to release water once in the morning and once in the afternoon, but the time is not clearly fixed, so it is called random.It is suicide such as entering a narrow path without knowing when a torrent will come.

Even if you're aiming for a sunny day where snowflakes don't occur, that's not often the case.

There is also a court casting magician (Mage) who can imitate weather forecasts, so it is possible to predict a clear day in advance.It doesn't seem like it's all going to happen, but we should pay more attention on a sunny day.

In light of these elements,

(After all... at night.In the other side, you might want to make me think so and shake it in the daytime.)

Looking out the window, the powdered snow flickers.I don't need an umbrella, but I don't know when this will come down.In just five minutes, it may be snowing like never before, or on the contrary, it may be peeking in the clear.The weather in the area is so volatile.In fact, it was quite snowy this morning.

Including that, today's "forecast" Julie heard from the shop owner where she bought it is snow.Naturally, the world does not acquire information from meteorological satellites.It's a lot of stuff.

Anyway, 'I don't know when it will snow' means' I don't know when a snowy waterway will be used '.

We don't want to try to escape during the day, but we can't go through the waterway at our own convenience.

In principle, water is released to the waterway twice a day, but depending on the amount of snow, it may be activated more often.In other words, it is dangerous to decide not to go through it for the third time just because the second discharge is over.

(After all.....)

And there, Bergrette came in with a laundry basket from the next room.

"It's only night, isn't it?

A subjectless blur of protection that came out of your mouth on the extension of your thoughts,

"... nh, if you think about it normally"

The knight picked it up as usual.

"Uh-oh, that's a quick talk... that's an inclusive way to put it, Beleko-san"

Yo, she puts her basket down in the corner of the room and looks out the window.

"Perhaps Lenore... of course Meltina is aware of the surveillance.This adhesion will not last long and will eventually have to move.Then I guess we both want to make the most of it. "

"Hmm. Well, that's not what I imagined... the most unlikely option, is it?... that's right... for example, to set it up in a normal day like today. "

However, if they can do it, they won't have any trouble.It was a complete joke as a godsend.

"... that's right.Yeah... I can think about it. "

Bergrette's expression is serious.

"Eh!? No, but it doesn't happen that way right now, but I don't know what's gonna happen.The weather around here. "

"Yes, it may or may not come down in earnest."

Just be quiet and connect your words.

"This is the place to be watched by Badarnois god empire... ice god Cuarenae.That's why I can think about it.I believe it won't rain, and I entrust the future to Curiennais. "

"... that means..."

You can call it faith.

But if you're protected by atheists, it's just a blow job.Gambling.

"Do not descend" in one or eight places, aiming for escape.

(No, but... maybe that's where we'll end up...)

Reading, guessing, thinking.Over and over again, you end up there.

The opponent moves like this.Makes you think so, moves in the opposite direction.Both are possible. So, which one is it?There are only two simple choices left.No matter how much I read in my heart, I don't know because I'm not the person.

Bergrette thinks, "Lenore might bet."Lenore thought, "I'm sure it won't come down."

As a result, only God knows...

"If we get here, maybe we should... get ready."

With her hands on her chest, Bergrette tells her to tell herself.

"Whatever happens, it's not weird.Maybe you should think about it and stand still. "
