Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence

It was about the middle of the night when the people fell asleep. The mine near the industrial city is home to a revolutionary army that has fled the battle against the Demon King's Army, but at this hour all the adventurers are already asleep.

But there was a figure of an adventurer outside the building in it. Its identity is Jack, affiliated with the Adventurers Union Dark Department, who is infiltrating the Revolutionary Army, with the Devil's Sword Crimson Bloom with a knife on his hips.

Jack walks away from the building to an unpopular place. Jack was involved in a robbery in an industrial city just two days ago, but the jacks, who had no damage in the incident, were returning to the mine without a thing. However, we have only conveyed the fact that it is impossible to conclude an alliance with an industrial city, and we are now waiting to hear from the Florist, who is going to the Adventurers' Union to negotiate an alliance.

Jack looks around lightly when he arrives on the other side of the unpopular hill.

"Come out."

"That's great."

It was a blonde girl with a mask who grew from the ground of the mine to respond to Jack calling into the void. I've never even seen the face of a girl wearing a mask that resembles a clown before, not even a long-time Jack.

But it didn't matter to Jack, such as the girl's face.

"Long time no see, Jack. I'm relieved you're feeling better."

"You were watching."

"Well."

Jack asks grumpy about the masked girl's greeting, and unexpectedly, the masked girl admits that she was watching her lightly.

It was the last time the two faced each other in a pre-infiltration cemetery shed, but it wasn't long since the masked girl was constantly monitoring the Jack's trends. It must have been a long time to just look at each other.

"It was a disaster before."

"Ugh."

"But I was surprised Jack couldn't get his hands on it."

"Ugh."

Jack showing frustration with the girl's light mouth, but the girl at the time continues the conversation without showing how she cared in particular.

"I thought Jack had fallen back on the demon king."

"Come on, shut up or I'll slash your head off."

"Fine. But that's the last moment I can use that demon sword."

"Shit."

Jack, tongue-in-cheek at the masked girl's words, asks grumpy.

"So you figured it out"

"Yeah. To some extent."

That said, the girl opens her mouth looking at Jack.

"Densil first, but that's a spy sent in by the Demon King's side. The specific affiliation is the demon king Sarnalin-Leviatan, who is now under Forno-Mamon in Dacrea II"

"Right."

"I fought on the Dedemonized King's side in the last fight, but at the end, I showed myself exactly who I was. The purpose of the infiltration seems to be the same surveillance of the demon king as we did, but this time it feels like he gave it to us."

"Did you give up?

The masked girl answers grumpy against Jack listening back to unexpected words.

"The demon king also wanted to monitor the demon king's movements and annihilate him. But at the same time, we stopped surveillance in the last fight because we knew the union was diving in. 'Cause sooner or later, the unions were gonna handle it."

"I don't care."

"Right. But this time, the purpose is to make the Demon King understand that unions are not enemies, so we have to be patient."

"Shit."

Jack doesn't originally like the Demon Kings. So it was something I didn't particularly like about being used by the Demon Kings, but only this time there is also the intention of the organization.

Jack rarely convinced himself that he had no choice.

"The next one's an eng, but that's not a person in any organization. Now included among those captured by the Demon King's Army."

"Do you know where it is?

"That's..."

Jack narrows his lid on the badly toothed masked girl.

"Is there a problem"

"To be honest, I haven't been able to grasp the exact place. I'm sure they're captured by demon kings, but you don't know where that place is."

"Even in your abilities."

"That's right. I wonder if that's why you're being held in a different world."

Jack appreciates the masked girl's abilities, regardless of her personality. So I learned a little bit of interest in the location of the engines, even the masked girl, who hadn't grasped it.

"You mean the demon kings have the technology to connect to different worlds"

"Um, I don't know. I don't know about this until I do a little more research."

"So."

"That's the last of it, missy."

The moment I hear that name, Jack's face shows up with the intent to kill him. Mizuchi is an adventurer who joined the Revolutionary Army at the same time as Jack, and usually an adventurer who uses the magic of water attributes.

It's not far from Jack by his magical prowess, but Jack was convinced that Mizuchi had some kind of secret. One of them is the dark attribute, and Jack even grasped that Mizuchi is a magician who can use the dark attribute, but he doesn't grasp any more about it.

That's why I was most interested in talking about Mizuchi with the masked girl. But the answer returned from the masked girl was unexpected.

"Mizuchi, but that one doesn't make sense. I've never seen anything so creepy."

"What does that mean?"

"It means exactly what it means. You're making me wonder if that's really a person in the world."

Jack staring at the masked girl who returns the elusive answer, but the masked girl who exposes an atmosphere that looks more grumpy than that.

"Simply put, I didn't know anything."

"What?"

"To be precise, the more I look into it, the more I get to being far from Mizuchi. Besides, the more I try to figure out who I am, the more figures come up. It's like God is manipulating the information I grab with his invisible hands to keep me from getting to the answer."

"So much organization, you mean?

"I don't know. It would have been possible to find even the demon king's sending stencil in my hands. If there was an organization like that behind Mizuchi, it would at least be superior to the Demon Kings, but Mizuchi is a Dakulia person at the point where you can use the dark attributes. And there is no such organization in Dacrea."

It's incredible, but I don't want to deny it because it actually is.

"Humans are born to leave traces somewhere, but in the case of Mizuchi, they don't have any. That's what I'd say is suddenly a Gentile from another world, but I reject that paranoid hypothesis that you can use dark attributes. It's really creepy."

Jack was also the first one to feel the frustration that sprinkled from the words of the masked girl. Jack mocks only a little for the first time the masked girl, who is always making small fools of people with an attitude of spare time.

"Fair enough. It doesn't end up killing you."

"Yes, it is."

"So the directive..."

The girl answers Jack's question with a beat.

"Destroyed, no one left to bury."

"That's enough."

Jack, smiling, looked back at the cabin where the revolutionaries rest as he pulled out the Demon Sword Crimson Bloom, which was rising on his hips.
