Eterna, who left the wake-up infirmary, sighed enormously when she realized that Linus was no longer there.
Gadio, already awake, smiles bitterly when he sees her.
"Gadio, if you were aware Linus was leaving, you'd be glad you stopped him."
"You think I'm gonna stop and stay adult?
"... that's right. But in the end, it was exactly what Fram expected."
Soldier screams heard slightly from the outside.
Perhaps Nekt is killing the soldiers deployed.
That was starting at about the same time Linus popped outside.
I mean - are you going to play fair, he was waiting for the Flams to come out of the guild.
The reason they went into such behavior is not only because the mute died.
Engraving our presence in the people of the king's capital, for its purpose was fulfilled as of yesterday.
Some residents have already begun evacuation, and those who remain do not appear on the table while locked indoors.
As a result, it's just soldiers who are walking away - where they rammed indiscriminately in such a place, that their other purpose, "time buying”, becomes unfulfilled.
Then all you have to do is jam the flams trying to find Mother's place for the rest of the day.
Only then will their untrained be eliminated.
"Good morning, what's wrong?
Flam, who came out of the infirmary a little late from Eterna, either cared for the still sleeping Eela and Slough or spoke to the two with a lower voice.
"Linus was gone"
When I heard that whiny word, Flam said,
"Oh, I knew it"
Convinced.
She had a feeling about that, too.
At yesterday's stage in the first place, he should have wanted to go looking for Maria.
Maybe it was just better if you waited until this morning.
"And you were polite enough to get an example letter in the Guild mailbox. See?"
Gadio took the letter he had placed on the table and lifted it to show it to both of them.
Eterna scowling at it.
"Anyway, with a day left, there's just a line of poemy words like“ sprout ”and“ bloom ”and all that."
"Well, let's take a look."
Gadio cut the seal when Flam suggested bitterly.
Then take the white paper out of it and read it out.
"For the rest of the day, when they sprout, they came, the seeds scattered out loud, and eventually blossom. But even that's just a piece of the great love that wraps us up...... well, that's a hit, Eterna"
"One pattern, no taste"
"haha......"
Still spicy.
But whatever the content of the letter is, it doesn't change what the Flams need to do.
Find the baby released to the king's capital, destroy the rest of the childrens, and find the mother.
To do this, we have to divide and explore.
"What do we do from here, Gadio"
"If Linus is moving in the West Side to find Maria, we'll check the Central Side and the East Side, respectively, on me and Eterna."
"What am I supposed to do?
"Instead of guild - it's Slough's escort. If it was Luke who was after him, the flam that said it was compatible would be appropriate."
"Okay, then I'll wait here"
Even if I say it's compatible, he's probably going to be using the second core too.
At that time, how far does the inversion of the flam work by fulfillment - a total unknown number at the moment.
But the enemy has two babies and two childrens.
I mean, it's the same number as this one.
If the battle starts multiple times at the same time, it's hard to ask for help.
Somehow, you have to defeat it on your own.
The pressure strengthens the look on Flam's face.
Seeing her like that, Eterna basically poked her forehead with her index finger.
"Ahhh... what is it?
"Nervous is not good, relax"
"You're unscrupulous."
However, the expression is slightly looser than earlier.
Flam told himself that relaxation was just impossible, but not to overfeel it.
"Well, I'm the center of the allocation -"
"No, I'm sorry, but the Central District needs to let me go."
Gadio blocked Eterna's words.
"Hmm? I thought the East End was good for Gadio's with land prospects, but if that's what you want, I can't help it."
Gadio bows his head "I'm sorry" to her as she pulls back lightly.
Something bothers me, or there's something in the Central District - maybe there's something I've got a hunch about.
I don't have a clue where Mother is anyway, it wouldn't be a bad idea to rely on her.
"Then get the hell out of here."
Dwong!
At that time, a low, blunt sound sounded from the south and the ground swayed.
Eterna, who has been blocked from talking twice, has a disgruntled look.
But I don't have time to be depressed.
The three of them immediately went outside and looked up at the sky in the direction of the noise.
In a remote place, white smoke is rising towards heaven.
As I watched how things were going, I continued to hear a fierce burst from the same place.
"Could it be that Mr. Linus is fighting someone?
We have to go back to cover.
"No, I can't seem to say that"
Gadio said as he looked east.
The same way there, the smoke is rising.
Though I can't hear the sound because it's far away, it seems certain to see some sort of battle going on.
"Noisy everywhere"
"Apparently, you made a real move."
"Today is the day to remember each other."
"You can't make me like it, I'll be on my way to the East Side as planned. Gadio is in the Central District as planned, you should look for Mother"
That said, Eterna ran away early.
"Is it okay to be alone"
"If Flam could take it down, you think he should be able to do it, too, don't you?
That's because the baby was still small, so I think it's different today.
But as a matter of fact, it is also true that there is not enough power.
It is difficult to cope without decentralizing the personnel.
"Sweet for Eterna's words, let me head to the Central District as planned, too. The flam-"
"Yes, Slough's escort has been entrusted"
"Oh, I asked you to."
Kicking the ground with heavy armor, Gadio rushes toward the Central District.
The remaining flam takes a deep breath on the spot,
"Well, when will Luke show up"
I unplugged the soul eater and waited for the boy to raid.
◇ ◇ ◇
A little time goes back.
That was some time before Linus ran into the “enemy."
He relied on the screams of the soldiers he could hear to track down Nekt.
The distance is shrinking slightly.
I don't know why the movement is being read - there's such a rush, the way it kills has become increasingly cluttered.
"Let me capture it like this!
At the speed of holding on, Linus runs through the narrow alley to skip.
But he was also in a hurry.
Being aware that you are being pursued in this way, and murdering soldiers as if to leave a clue, means that Nekt also has a destination.
Or he could be directing Linus somewhere.
Catch up before then and ruin your thoughts.
That's what I mean. He finally sees Nect reaching out to the soldier.
Raise a bow, connect an arrow, and emit a single shot of sound speed.
"You're here already!?
Nect “connected” to a surprise and moved elsewhere, and the ejected arrow pierced a wall of nothing.
The soldier suddenly involved was flat, but from what I saw, he was not injured.
It seems that life has been saved.
Linus passes right in front of him and continues his attack on Nekt.
"You looked too sweet at me, boy!
"Chi!
Nect trying to leave with a continuous metastasis.
Linus kicking the ground and walking and eating up.
The two chase plays were going on with Linus advantage - but Nect stopped on one spot.
"I was actually going to lead you this far easier."
Throw it away looking tired.
Linus said back in frustration.
"I was going to stop before I got to my destination."
In the end, I got this far as I thought.
"So, what is this place?"
"Where you have an opponent to fight"
"... example baby"
"Exactly. You know you're here, but you can't leave me alone, can you?
Keep your mouth shut and you'll have more power.
Why did Nect dare bring himself this far - Linus scowls at him.
"I have someone I want to settle before I die. That's why I can't deal with you."
"Flam."
"No, it's Gadio Lascat. He got hit hard in the first meeting. Revenge matches."
I still haven't forgotten that I took a handached blow in the fight over ink.
I didn't win then, but with the second core I should be able to overwhelm you.
That confidence was in Nekt.
And once he beats down the losing opponent, he becomes a monster as he immerses himself in that superiority - a good end, he praises himself.
"What if I don't miss it here?
Say, Linus pulls the bow.
Nect, on the other hand, can afford it.
"I can't. I'm telling you, for being unreasonable," third generation ”is worse than us, right?
So I said, "What's wrong?"
Words stop.
On the wind, the smell of raw odor flows unusually.
Looking in the direction of the wind, there was only one uncomfortable house.
It's a big building for the West Side, is it also used by merchants for warehousing?
But the odd thing is that soldiers are standing around it.
Why only around that house, so much - when Linus gave him a surprise look, Nect grinned.
"Look, I can't help but care. And if they notice the hostility they're targeting, they won't get away with it so easily."
Soldiers turn to Linus at once.
He felt something thin in those eyes that were not vibrant.
Obviously insane, to something - probably manipulated by that baby.
Two soldiers pulled out the sword they had raised on their hips.
And then, facing each other, he simultaneously shakes up, slashes, and doubles from the top of his head to his hip in a straight line.
The bodies of mutually slashed soldiers opened (...).
From the inside, it's not blood, it's not built-in - dozens of babies about ten centimeters crawl out with us first.
Using his hands and feet to hike, he moves over the cobblestone, and even the wall, ignoring gravity, approaching Linus.
In that sight, which reminded him of the birth of an insect, he instinctively decided that "it was a presence that had to be killed” and immediately released an arrow.
Arrows bounce along the way, multiple fragments pouring down on the ground like meteors.
One by one, the magic of the wind swept. It exploded at the same time as it landed and scattered the wind violently.
Local storms destroy the born baby and scatter blood and contents.
In my career as an adventurer, I couldn't help but be disgusted with that evil hobby miniature crafted to the inside, even Linus, who was meant to be used to the majority of things.
"Good luck with that."
That's what I'm leaving you with. Nect leaves.
As he said, Linus couldn't let that (...) go.
"Damn, dammit, dammit!
Soldiers slash their companions' bodies one after the other, and produce little babies from the inside out.
Linus felt shitty, releasing multiple arrows and slaughtering them.
Fortunately, the hell was not so strong that it could be handled relatively lightly, but mental fatigue is immeasurable.
Whatever it is, my taste is too bad.
"Whatever... ugh!
The fallen soldier, and Linus approaches the torn apart corpse.
It wasn't moving anymore.
It was an object that I wasn't sure what it was created for, but I felt the will to intentionally blaspheme humans.
And stand in front of the entrance to the warehouse where the soldiers were surrounded.
The smell was drifting from the inside.
"You can't stay out of it..."
Never, take a little distance from the wooden, double-open doors and pull the bow.
It concentrated consciousness, propagated magic, and struck an extraordinarily high power, destroying every door and wall.
Splashing wood pieces and sand dust.
And what I saw from the hole was half the face of a giant baby, hurt and rotten by the aftermath.
There should have been quite a few big holes, but I can't even see the whole face.
The face was wounded by Linus' arrow, but the elusive part twisted, and a large number of little babies crawled out of its interior as if they were maggots.
"Again this pattern is cool......!
Stupidity, string pulling linus.
At his feet, once again, a refined miniature loomed.
