Hagusa Spiritualist Examination Record - Knights of the Virgin and Healing Divinity

The wheat fields are spreading as we head south from the fortress. They said the countryside, severely damaged by demons, was further down the road between these fields.

The road is somewhat well maintained, so a carriage was used for the journey. Mr. Presha's men are at your disposal, and the two captains are on their respective horses.

From the window of the passenger car, I can see Mr. Diete moving in line. As she approached her destination, she began to explain to me without this one having to ask anything.

"Rural areas around here are autonomous by the luxuries who ruled the region. I was hostile to my kingdom at first, but since the Fortress of Isle Rose was formed, I have complimented myself without resisting as much as I have."

"If you look at that fortress, you won't feel like trying it easily..."

"That's also true, because the Zirconia threat was imminent across the canal. In militias where the peasants have only been armed, they cannot resist trained knights. I knew that, and I went under the protection of the Royal Army."

The Knights continue to repel Zirconia soldiers feared by the lavish as a matter of fact. But if food production is falling in this rural area, it can also mean that poor luxuries think back to sleep - thinking.

"My feelings for the Knights of the People have improved since Master Astina became guardian of the fortress. Not only against Zirconia, but also because it protects its inhabitants from demons and bandits. But if we leave the demons who waste agricultural land alone, the emotions of the people will gradually deteriorate. Because the food produced around here is shipped to the entire Western Territory."

"... you want to do something about it. No, if we don't do something about it, we're going to exhaust the whole Knights. Loss of cereal and vegetable production also affects livestock. If you have difficulty consuming more meat, I hope you can consume legumes."

"Bean-like fields are also damaged. I was producing ahead of me, but now..."

Look forward, as Mr. Diete noticed something.

"What, that... wasn't that bad before... eh"

"Guys, look! The color of the land over there is changing......!

(... the colour of the ground is gray... completely different from the colour of the original soil)

Look out the window and lose words to the sight. The land on the other side is turning gray with boundaries ahead of the wheat fields.

Is the horse feeling abnormal, too, or is it moving slowly? And forward, from a private house that must be managing the fields around here, people came out on horseback.

"Oh, are you the Knights...... I'm glad you came, but this land is no longer available. Before the harvest, everything will dry out."

"Oh no... how is this happening? Weren't there just demons out there?

In response to Ms Presha's question, the man also looked puzzled, pointing to the grey land spreading in the rear - and the woods further beyond.

"Sure, at first, there were just demons out there. Vulnerable to the flames, burning it down made it a temporary procedure...... The Knights have also helped us on that several times. But for a few months now, the land around that forest has stained gray, and crops have stopped growing normally."

"Oh no... if you defeat the demon, why don't you go back to normal? If crops don't grow, it doesn't matter how many demons you get rid of..."

Mr Raquel would also have received the report and grasped it to some extent. Unexplained, contamination of the land - no, this is' erosion '.

I got off the carriage and listened to the surrounding plants. The crops around here, which are not as clear as the voices heard from the elders and have not changed to gray, are also weakened.

(... there's a wind... you know, coming from the woods. What, this feeling...)

"... Dr. Glass?

"Dear Glass, how was it?

- It looks far away, the gray forest. As I watched it, I was remembering something different from the reality landscape in my own eyes.

In the woods where the sun shined. I'm looking at this one in the light, one girl.

The girl's lips move. But I can't hear you - naturally, because I'm seeing illusions.

I saw it when I signed with the Spirit, that landscape. But it fades rapidly and turns gray.

"... there, are you there? I was... watching the phantoms of that place..."

"Shh, first born... hold on, what do you mean by phantom?

"Ah, oh. Excuse me, I'm worried about that forest. What's in that forest?

Ask the farmer man, he says, twisting his neck too.

"Somewhere in that forest, in the generations of my ancestors, there seems to be a place where I worshipped some god. People stopped coming near me... and I was born this way, too, and I never went inside. There are also rumors that I will be 'cursed'..."

"... a curse, is it? If I were to say that, I think it would be more terrifying for the land to wither..."

Everyone would imagine that there is a cause in that forest for demons to come out. Because the phenomenon of this land becoming gray is spreading from that forest.
