The victory has been confirmed.

In that mood, the faces of the soldiers encountered there had unprecedented leeway.

"There you are, Lenore Schneider Groswitz.... Give up now, I won't let you escape."

As the young soldier swayed his sword, he raised the edge of his mouth.

The beginning of the waterway, the spreading of reports of securing Mertina, and the fact that the Lenore we encountered was already groundbreaking.

Based on these factors, the soldier at hand is convinced of an absolute advantage.

"There's no escape anymore... Immediately next door is the street, and the inhabitants are snowing.I can't use the waterway anymore. There are soldiers, of course.There are a lot of friends in your back alley.You can't make a breakthrough with that mess.You have to think. "

Ambition. How much would the prize be if the prize equivalent to 15 million esques were stopped?

(... ku, fufu, haha)

I accidentally blew Lenor out in my heart.

Soldiers' glances, distorted smiles.Far from being a lawmaker, it only looked like a thief with a prey in front of him.

Everyone dances to the law-abiding.For this stupid catch play.

――

Suddenly, Lenore took a breath and ran away.

Don't get lost, head for the front street.

"Damn, it's not my usual life!"

Lenore releases an ice bullet of restraint and runs without looking back.Focusing on chanting.At most, there are only a few more major tricks left.Your health is no longer at its limit.

--But that's enough.

The residents were working on snow clearance, as the soldiers said, as they walked down the narrow path onto the main street.

A city colored by snow.Large square holes along the sidewalk that are evenly spaced about ten miles apart.It leads to a snowy waterway, where you can easily see the person throwing snow in a scoop.

Winter scenery is not uncommon in this imperial capital.

(All right...! Protect me, ice god Cuarlene...!)

After confirming it, Lenore squeezed out the remaining force and ran.

In the appearance of the girl who appeared in front of the street, a clear gaze of the nearby person gathered.

An old man who thinks of something, a surprising housewife. On top of that,

"Ha, you!?"

I noticed one of the silver armour watching the snowflake in the corner of the sidewalk.

"Hey, wait!"

Then the soldier who had just shaken off appeared out of the alley late.

In the meantime, Lenore just ran away with all her might.Towards the nearest snowy waterway hole.

"What are you doing!?"

Behind the shock of the soldiers,

"Haaaaaa!"

Lenore jumped.

He jumped himself into a hole that led to the snow canal.

Then, let go of the technique you were prepared for.As it fell, it revealed a large chunk of ice as tall as it was.

Grasp it with both hands and hit it in the middle of a whirlwind in the waterway.

"... cum!"

The blowing splash is no longer cold enough to be an illusion of pain.From the ankle to the tip, which was properly immersed in water, it seems to have been cut with a sharp blade.

While clinging to the top as much of the ice as possible, Lenore fires even more magic shots.Behind you, towards the emptiness of nothing.

"I, uhhhh...!"

Reverse blast. A horse kicked in the stomach, but the ice on the Lenore is advancing.Driven by an intense flow of water, it accelerates instantly.

"Nh... stupid!?"

Leaving behind the voices of the soldiers and the surprised gaze of the inhabitants who crawled into the hole, the ice cubes loaded with the girl drifted through the snow canal at an incredible speed.

This is Lenore's last resort.

I knew it from the beginning.First of all, it definitely snows.

Hence.

Lenore and Mertina were going to get out of here.

--Failure.

The snow began to snow and the soldiers would have thought so.Lenore and his escape play have now ended in failure.Our victory.

An odd trick pointing to the falsehood.

Throw yourself into the waterway and grasp the resulting ice.The flow of the waterway carries it on its own.A unique means for ice users.

--And it's easy to express in words.

"Ugh, ku...!"

In fact, it was an almost reckless attempt.

With the ice that I created, the ride feels like the worst.The rough currents are teasing me, and if I'm a little out of my mind, I'm going to be shaken off.

It is a product of the self-casting magic "Oracle" and maintains control, so I don't feel cold against the ice.Except for the cold air that rises from that mass and the splash of a rough torrent.

With the acceleration, the cold wind blowing on my body and face were about to freeze.

"Gh...!"

It would be much better to cross the back of a rough horse in the snow.

As it was about to collide with the waterway wall, while crushing the colliding snow chunks, the ice chunks loaded with Lenore continued to flow with momentum.

"Hah, haah...!"

If it is shaken, it will be swallowed up by an intense flow of water.Then it's over.

Frozen or drowned first.

Either way, the annual accident of falling into a waterway will end up the same way as its victims.Was it worse than when you jumped in from yourself?

--There are other problems.

Nku!

The shock to his head caused Lenore to accidentally choke his neck.

"Ah!? Hmm, what is it!? Oh, girl!?"

Someone's voice comes down without putting in their hair.

"Pei,....!"

With a shake of his head, Lenore threw it out in his mouth.Your tongue feels cold when you sneeze.

The inhabitants threw snow into their heads.Not bad luck. It was even natural given the purpose of the waterway.

And then...

"Hey, somebody! There's a girl running away!"

"Ahh, so desperately clinging to the ice chunk....!"

"All right, hold on! For some reason, there are soldiers all over the place today, convenient!I'll call you right away! "

While listening to the flowing voice, Lenore shrugged her shoulders for a variety of reasons.The cold snow on your head and neck makes you feel sorry for the disturbance, rather, I feel troubled if you call a soldier.Flip them all over.

"Wow, people are falling in the waterway!"

"What is that big ice!?"

A voice of surprise descending on the way.

Whether or not it is flowing through the waterway is also noticeable during the snow removal work by citing the city.This was one of the biggest problems when I was on the run.Still, they don't realize he's a big sinner with a sweepstake of 15 million esques because of the heavy snow.

(Well, I managed to jump in...!)

The velocity of the torrents is considerable enough that people can't catch up with their feet even when they run.

I want to reach 700 miles to the outlet, and the more I ride, the less I can reach it - but I can't carry it that well.

Snow currents are stretched along the road surface, making it easy to turn around and read where you're going.If you are familiar with it in the first place, you know where and how drifts pass.Or worst of all, just ambush them with a part that leads directly to the outlet.

(It's about time....)

A couple of minutes to start flowing through the canal over time.

(By the time they knew I jumped in here....)

The soldiers would have been surprised to hear the Mertina Guard newspaper at first, but it was time for them to get back on their feet and start moving.

Probably get ambushed not too far ahead.

Before that happens...

(Anyway, it has to shake!)

Look at the plane and get rid of this ice.Once back on the ground, agitate.Fortunately, the snow that falls will also be on my side.As a white curtain that blocks the view.

I just want to be aware of the Whites here.

Until it snowed, they were directed to the sewer entrance and exit where they could enter the channel without removing the lid.But now that Lenore has jumped directly into the waterway, there is no point in protecting such a place.They will come directly to secure the sinners.

The trouble is, unlike Mertina, Lenore can't tell them apart.The Whites are just common names.Those loyal to the Snowstorm White Knights Gracela Duela are just calling them that.General Soldier and Appearance Equipment together.

You'll see when you're ready to confront them, but of course it's too late.

As long as Lenore is complete - and one-on-one - I am confident that I will not follow suit.But now that I'm exhausted, let alone in the crowded and turbulent city warfare, such assumptions are meaningless.

The encounter with the Whites now leads directly to defeat.

(That's why from here on out... I can't even grab the shadow anymore...!)

Make him think. All possibilities.

You may have missed the flow.I may have been exhausted and submerged in water.I may have pretended to escape and dazzled myself.

No matter what you do, it's not crazy.

Deceive everything.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"

Just inside the high rising walls.One of my men flew under a snow-covered Virgin and Legion at the front of a nearby building.

"Lenore, Lenore jumped into the waterway!"

There is no place for the report.The eye-catching Omzolf speaks for everyone's confusion.

"You said you jumped in.It didn't fall... "

"Ha, spontaneously...."

"Did you really think that you were being hunted down and thrown...?"

Self-death is a taboo for those who believe in the ice god Cuarenae.The brazen act of forcing one's soul against the Lord is not acceptable.Did Lenore, who was retreated and impoverished, commit the foolishness at this time?

But the soldier shook his head to the side many times with the bull.

Well, that's...

After listening to the details, many people, including Omzolf, flew out of the house at once.

Step on the new snow that has already begun to pile up enough to bury your toes in the white running stream that obstructs your vision, and head to the entrance of the nearest snowy running channel.

At the bottom of the hole, where the lid has been removed beforehand, an intense flow of water pushes through several snow masses.

……

There was no doubt that everyone's thoughts were in harmony.

- Did you jump in?Grab a chunk of ice and go into this torrent....?

Maybe it's not impossible.

You will have the feathers to constantly bathe in the bouncing water droplets.One or two frostbites are inevitable.Above all, it would sink by being shaken off the ice.

Ask yourself if you want to do it.

But maybe it's not strange.

Humans, if they're hunted down, they'll act unexpectedly.

"............"

Whether or not you recognize it, concerns arise behind Omzolf's brain.

Weren't Lenore passing by while they were breathlessly avoiding snow under the roof?

"When did she jump in?"

"Until precise time... We received our report long enough ago.From the residents' testimony, we have witnessed it all the way through Ninth Street.From there, Kalovan flows to the other side of the snow clearing road and seems to have lost sight of it...But the path is predictable, so under the command of General Bendism, we are preparing to hold it on Third Avenue. "

"... is that so?"

Omzolf, who knew that he could not have overlooked it in time, pacified his thoughts.

"What's going on with Meltina?"

"The information is mixed.I wonder if there are any soldiers who really think she has been secured...I was wondering if it would take some time to confirm. "

Omzolf retorted that it was the fault of the faction.

Naturally, all of the Omzoruffians, the Whites, and the general soldiers participate in this catch.

While participating in the same operation, the bluntness of such cooperation is revealed.

First of all, Lenore showed unexpected movements.

(That's "Frozen Snow Storm Ventisca"...You mean you won't get caught that easily.But after being hunted down, I'm sure it's a poor solution.)

The flow of water is terribly fast.This should give her a good distance.

The intense snowfall is now like a white thin film that doesn't cover everything.If the wind turns now, you won't even be able to see a few miles away.Definitely make it easier for the soldiers to escape.

……

I'm leaving.

- Really.

Did she have to jump into the waterway?

(I can't believe this... from the beginning)

It was creepy.

Anyone who lives in the Imperial Capital can tell.Weather that can only be considered the former, whether it comes down or not.I wonder how we can trust and act on the latter, even if we are behind this.

At least I wouldn't make that decision myself.

then.

If the former... knew it would descend and started to escape, this situation...

"Currently, my vision has deteriorated, and I have been instructed to monitor the waterway more carefully.Now, let's do it ourselves... "

"Please wait"

Omzolf retained the soldiers who hurriedly tried to turn their heels back.

"Please be vigilant on the ground."

"Ha... on the ground, too?"

"It might be a way to focus attention on the waterway."

If the soldiers were to guard only the waterways, the ground would be neglected.

For example, she may not force an escape.You may feel bad about the flag color, give up escape, and hide somewhere.

While this is distracted by the waterway, relax.

From the viewpoint of expenses and policing, we cannot deploy such a large operation many times.We must succeed this time.

"I know it's very demanding. But how many graduates?"

"... I understand. That's what I'm telling you."

The soldier who ran away with his head down politely disappeared in an instant when he was drunk by white.

In the snow, which made it harder to face up, Omzolf was stunned inside.They were chasing Lenore.Definitely one more step.

But...

(Ah, it's our Cure Renee.....)

It's not settled.

Cause and effect of what? More than that, the situation that I had hoped for - the snowfall is reversing the direction of the wind.

"Please join us on the front lines.Those guarding the sewer entrance and exit... ask the Whites for help. "

Omzolf flies his instructions to the men around him.

"... are you sure?"

You don't need my protection.

Think about it.

If this is the solution she was after.If things are carried as thought in "Frozen Snow Storm" "Ventisca", how do they move from here?As if responding to the swirling snow, Omzolf deepens his thoughts.

If the other party is trying to deceive us.

Discover the truth.
