◆ ◇ ◆

Miralka approaches Kvaris as she destroys the dragon wings that are coming out to intercept with destruction magic. There is a black thunder around Kvaris, but Miralka sees that there is a law where it occurs and runs through the air magically as if there is no effect of black thunder.

(Kvaris... the boundary is unfolding in the woods spreading over the upper part of the floating island. Is that... being attacked by the Dragon Wings?

Three dragon wings roared, simultaneously poking at the boundary with their spears. With enough magic, the boundaries that should have been maintained reached their limits and vanished when the attack bounced back.

The Dragon Wing Troopers will continue to attack - there will be no immediate respite if anyone is inside.

"Leave it around...!

― ― Multiple Destruction Model Untyped Modification Shochu ―

As Miralka waves her sleeves, a magical team expands into space, instantly bringing three Dragon Wing soldiers into range. The dragon wings are crushed from the inside, and even the fragments scatter like petals and disappear.

(If you come this far, you won't get Dick's support... don't use too much magic.)

As a human wizard, Miralka, who has an extra-standard magic capacity, was depleted enough to clearly remember the load.

The amount of magic in the atmosphere has also dropped dramatically around Kvaris. The Dragon Wing Soldier was almost depleted because it captured the surrounding magic just by activating it. No natural recovery is expected, Miralka opens the vial she brought and pours it into her throat.

"Nh... it's a psychic (potion), but you're obsessed with the taste..."

Half impressed and half stunned, Miralka says. Then descend into the woods of the Kuvalis deck, where the boundary has just vanished.

--There was a magician girl who had left her back in the trunk of the tree.

A girl with silver-haired hair smiles without strength as she watches Miralka while remaining conscious.

"... you were working with Kane."

"... I thought the angels had come to pick you up. The golden hair and blue dress are more destructive magic than Miralka Elise has ever heard."

"Looks like you specialize in magic too... but you're running out of magic."

As Miralka approached, Astorte moved the wand in his hand, but realized that there was no hostility towards Miralka, and he relaxed from his hand.

"Hmm... I think it's inefficient to use such a large cane."

"In my country, we have the technology to assist in chanting through the crystals of magic wands (rods). The larger the crystal, the higher the crystal value, but the smaller the crystal, the better."

"Yes... even though such research has been carried out in my country. I don't think you can make anything close to this wand."

"... even in my country. The wand itself is a legacy of my house... discovered in the ruins."

Astorte smiles bitterly. Miralka also returned feelings close to it - they realized that there was an overlap in the path they walked.

"I've been polishing my magical powers since I was a kid, and I thought someone would teach me something if I went to college, but... there's no one like that. Before I became a student, I turned to the teaching side. It's fun, too."

"... I was also asked to train backwards until I left the country. It seems that the people of the country thought that if I had taught them, one day they would be able to produce wizards beyond me."

"That kind of encounter may last a long time. They say we have a gift once in a thousand years, so we don't know if we'll see each other while we're alive. It turns out that if you're not a teacher, this is how you might meet."

Miralka saw and felt the power of Astorte. It is the same on the side of Astorte, with a gaze at a height close to each other.

"... Cain is fighting our leader. What are you gonna do?

"I... couldn't stop Cain. If only I had noticed his thoughts sooner...."

"I've tied my hand to a god in the sky by my own will... even though he said he could take it like that. I think it's really premature to accept his will."

"It's because I've been watching him for a long time that I understand. Cain was always alone. I acted with him as second place in the sequence... and yet he never really saw me as equal."

Astorte should have been able to shake off the Dragon Wings and chase Cain.

Miralka knew why she didn't. Astorte is afraid of relativity again, hoping to stop Cain.

"Still... you're an important companion, aren't you?

"... the truth is, I was thinking of dropping Kvaris. If you convert all my magic, I can half-destruct Kvaris."

"I'm glad you didn't. Even if it falls into the ocean, the Kvaris threat won't go away until everything's completely shut down."

"The power source of the Kvaris... the power of the Pseudo-Nuclear remains little as Cain absorbs a lot. We're still slowly lowering our altitude… We'd better drop it to the sea than fall to some land. It may turn the course to where people live."

"Yes... we must avoid falling into the Oriental Islands. It was only a short time, but neither I nor my people hated the place."

Miralka lifts her hair and smiles like she's good at it. For her, the motivation necessary to protect is not so great as the cause - Astorte envies it.

"Miralka Elis....."

"It's hard to call my family name together, so call me Miralka. Have you decided what to do?

"Yes, I... haven't broken my ties with Cain. It may not mean anything to him anymore....."

"I can't help it, and I need Dick to survive...."

"I still don't know what I can do. But...."

"If there's only one thing you can do, say it."

I may not have enough power on my own, but I still want to accompany you. Astorte, who was about to say so, was surprised by Miralka's question.

Miralka is exploring the possibility of Astorte becoming a fighter. Astorte thought that if the answer was ambiguous, Miralka would not count as a force, even if she helped herself.

"... I can exercise 'Space-Time Transfer'"

"Yes... as long as I understand the principles, I may be able to exercise them. You're ahead of me in that regard."

Miralka bends in beside Astorte and presents a vial of the spirit medicine.

"Thank you very much. Nh...."

"... it'll work, won't it?

"Eh, yeah... I can't believe these medicines taste good... they're delicious..."

Miralka wonders if Dick would be happy to hear this feeling before the first effect of magic recovery comes first.

(I think a man named Cain is important, but I wonder if he's putting something in his psychic medicine...)

"Besides, there are no side effects such as depletion of vitality with a magic healing drug with immediate effect. Did you make this potion?

"It was Dick who made it. If you knew my name, you would have known him."

"Ah... I heard that Dick Silver... is a good magic swordsman, but that's not all. I don't deserve to be called" All Knowledge "more than I do...."

"Potion making is like a hobby to him, so it might be confusing for him to appreciate it so much. He thinks he's clumsy, but he's...."

"It's just... all-purpose."

Astorte tends to be a little reluctant. Miralka put her arms together and chuckled.

"That's right. Both I and everyone want to study and train my specialty together because he can do anything... Yuma alone is not going to be able to do that."

"'Silent Soul Sorcerer'... Surely her abilities alone will be difficult to acquire. But we can make it up to each other."

"Because he also acted as a 'connector', it became so strong that we couldn't reach him. I can't believe we're all going to be so strong together... you're really a brave man."

It was strange that Miralka was telling the truth that she had never told anyone before, but she felt heartbroken.

"Cain also has the ability to gather the power of others. But similar to Dick Silver....."

"Who do you think will win? I'll bet everything on Dick."

"... you might be careless. Don't answer that."

When Miralka reached out, Astorte took his hand and stood up.

They look up at the red sky - the dragon wings attacking from the sky are bounced off by the boundaries created by Astorte and exploded by the magic of Miralka's formation.

"Wizards aren't bad either."

"Yes... but your defensive magic might not be much different from Dick's."

"... you don't know anything about Mr. Dick... no, nothing."

"I think I heard something. I won't ask you right now."

They use their flight magic and fly off the top of Kvaris.

"Eh... that's..."

"... the appearance of Cain is countless..."

Countless people can be seen in the red sky far south. It suggests that the battle between Cain and Dick is at its best - the time is near.

"Dick... if you're not safe, I'll destroy you...!

Miralka and Astorte hurried to the south as they defeated the following dragon wings.
