And the ground floats.

"Ep!? Damn, Elina's a rough messenger."

It was Cornice, a cat tribe, who broke the ground and showed his face.

Apparently, he was digging through the ground and traveling.

"Let go, please"

"That's not why -!? Because I didn't see it, I didn't see anything"

"Huh...? - Ha!?

Suddenly Cornice lays down his face.

Nonono closed his crotch with his leg grabbed.

"Senior Cornice! Hey, what are you thinking!

"Chi, no. This is force majeure!

"Just get your hands off me for once!

"Yes......!

When Nonono shouted in a strong tone, Cornice followed the instructions.

"Cornice! You let go of my hand!? What are you thinking! We're in a game!

"Yes, no, so, but..."

Mistrea's scolding flies while I'm in custody.

But I know what makes you want to yell.

From her, what do you do when you listen to your enemies? It would be natural to think so.

"Senior Cornice... you will take responsibility"

"Oh, yeah, so that's..."

Nonono crouched and gasped at Cornice's hand.

"Yes, I was there, I was there - hi, hi, good one!? It looks like a ghost!

"No, what are you talking about?

I can't see Nonono's face from my position, but I was only a little concerned about its shape.

(... if you leave that one to Nonono, you don't seem to have a problem)

"Well, shall we put a piece on this one?"

"Ha... that's something that's not working"

Although it was a sighing mistletoe.

But I still have my hands.

I would have prepared yet another hand based on unexpected circumstances.

"O life that dwells on the earth... sprout... and capture"

Only Elina's voice was heard.

And - from the soaked ground with the water magic of Zermin.

"Eh."

Something like a branch of a tree grew up, wrapped around my leg.

(... that's a hassle)

Thin branches get tangled up in my legs as they twist multiple times, restraining me.

"Don't you have to run?

You're gonna be held captive all the time, right?

"Right."

"Isn't it easier for you to untie Elina's restraint magic?

Tree branches that keep growing indefinitely seem to come to me as long as I keep pouring magic into them.

The strength is there too, and I'm not even freaked out to the extent that it moved lightly.

But.

"No, it's just a little troublesome, and it doesn't matter to this extent."

"... ho"

A vigilant grunt.

Mistrea doesn't seem to think I'm lying.

But that decision is half right and half wrong.

What she needs to be vigilant about now.

"Zermin, is it time to untie the restraint?

"- I'm sorry, I kept you waiting!

Inside the hole, Zermin, who was restrained and sleeping on his limbs, rose.

Stretch out your muddy arms.

"Light Ball!!"

Zermin could play in front of Mistrea.

"Gu!?

Mistrare, who couldn't prevent it and looked directly at the light, leaked a bitter voice.

Mistrare, blinded by light balls, can't grasp our movements.

If you're going to act, now's your chance.

"Well, I've got what I need, and let me pull it off."

"Become!? No way..."

I untied Mistrea and was forced to rip off the branches of a tree that bound her legs.

Though the restrained mistress was immediately moving her hand in her skirt pocket to look for something.

"Damn!? - When!?

Mistrea's remorseful voice went into my ear.

What she was looking for - the paper with the terms of victory - was in my hands now.

When you spread the folded paper to see the winning conditions.

○ Conditions of victory

Enemy team players, detain the three by any means.

That's what it said.

Now I'm alone first.

If the other two win conditions are known, my victory conditions can be met.

"Zermin, as soon as we rendezvous with Nonono, we'll pull back."

"Uhm! Roger that!

We rushed over to Nonono in the middle of a war.

Cornice had already crawled out of the ground and had fled Nonono.

"How far are you willing to run!

"Duh, until you give up chasing me!

"Fireball!"

Nonono unleashed the magic of fire.

Flameballs flying towards Cornice in a straight line.

"Oops."

But Cornice avoided it lightly.

"It's not such a monotonous sorcery."

"What about that?"

With his hands sticking out, Nonono said in a light-hearted voice.

"Ha... what are you saying-!?

A flaming sphere that I should have avoided suddenly rested and headed back to Cornice.

Cornice, however, avoids critical flame spheres by crouching.

"It was dangerous."

"I won't let you get away with it."

A flaming sphere struck Cornice as he responded to Nonono's voice.

Fully tracked.

Apparently, he's magically controlling the flaming sphere and manipulating it freely.

"Damn - you sound like a nasty sorcery."

"Hit me hard"

Every time it is avoided, the flaming sphere is disturbed by cornice hanging.

but calmly read the orbit of the flaming sphere, Cornice continued to avoid.

But now I don't have a kiri.

(... most importantly, I'm concerned about Elina, who still doesn't show up)

"Nonono, I'll pull you out of here."

"Ugh... yeah"

As he ran past the side of the dwarf girl, he called out.

Then the flaming sphere disappeared whether Nonono had uncontrolled the magic.

And -.

"Senior, I'll do this."

"What!?

I headed to Cornice and threw the paper I took from Mistrea.

Fly loosely like a flickering wind.

Reflectively, Cornice had the paper in his hand.

(… players will be disqualified if their teammates know the terms of victory)

If he sees the paper as it is, Cornis will know the terms of Mistrea's victory and will be forcibly disqualified.

After that, if you look inside...
