When Cornice's gaze hung directly on the paper...

"... Cornice... when I see him... punish him"

"What!? - Oh, hey, something!?

From the ground stretches out like a plant's jaw.

- Bachin!!

I paid the hand of Cornice, who was grabbing the paper.

"Yikes!? I haven't seen it yet!?

"... if you look... more... terrible..."

To Elina's remarks, Cornice shook her body like she ran even in the chills.

(... where are you?)

I can hear her voice clearly, but I don't see Elina anywhere.

It's not just that I can't see him, it's not even a sign.

(... I would have liked to know just where Elina is if I could)

"Mars, what are you bringing!?

Zermin running forward stopped his leg and looked back.

Together, Nonono stops on his feet, and he looks at this one so that Nonono worries too.

(... think later)

I ran after the two of them.

I can catch up right away - I should have.

"The earth collapses... and turns into a muddy..."

Shortly after that word - suddenly, the ground is muddy.

(…… mud)

I was taken off my leg, but I managed to fall.

However, when the scaffolding gradually becomes muddy (muddy) and tries to move his legs, he sinks deeper.

"... hehe... Mr. Mars... I got you"

I heard Elina again.

"Mars!?

"Wait, now..."

Though I heard Zermin and Nonono.

"You better not come."

I told the two of you who tried to come over here to help.

Given that the two scaffolding hasn't collapsed, you can assume that they are outside the scope of the effects of Elina's sorcery.

You don't have to stay close and fit into the mud until you two do.

"... won't you show yourself?

"Yeah......

Because... if you do that... they'll do it, because "

I heard Elina.

But there's no sign of it.

You're very cautious in sealing my movements.

"If you're in front of someone who can't move, why don't you show yourself?

"... lie... there's room for that..."

Wouldn't I be able to get out of the mud any minute? He seems to suspect.

"Hehe, Mr. Mars, apparently you can't move, can you?

to Cornice laughing with Niyaniya.

"... I wondered what would happen when they took the paper earlier..."

Mistrare, whose vision was restored, approached this way as she said so, picking up the paper with the winning conditions that were falling to the ground and putting it in her skirt pocket again.

"Senior Cornice.

Paper fell out of my trouser pocket. "

"Huh...? 'Cause the paper's in your shirt pocket."

"Bullshit - what are you running at, fool!

Mistrea raged at Cornice touching her chest pocket.

"Right.

You got it in your chest pocket. "

That's all I'm asking.

I exercised my magic.

Collect elements of fire in your palms - forming a larger flame sphere.

"Bye -"

I slapped him on the wet ground.

- Dkaroon!!!

The smoke rose when the mud was scattered along with the roar and the ground was blown away.

And kick the ground worn by the magic of the flames with his feet freed from the mud and free.

Don't thank me.

"What!?

After snatching the paper that was in Cornice's shirt chest pocket, he immediately returned the distance in the backstep and drove towards the Zermins.

Zermin, Nonono, let's go.

Take a distance once.

Let's see how things go once and for all than we can't see Elina.

"Idiot! If you can't keep up with the movement, at least hold your pockets tight."

"... still... not to that extent..."

"Meh, you look disgusting..."

Cornice's voice, apologizing with sorrow, sounded over his back.

We moved from behind the school building to the front of the college building.

From there, furthermore, keep running without stopping your legs.

So far there has been no sign of the mistreas following.

"... Phew... are seniors holding captivity a victory condition?

"Probably so.

I didn't use any damaging magic. "

"I was more concerned about Elina's appearance than about the victory terms - I couldn't even find any signs."

When you say what you thought you were going to say.

"Hmm? What are you talking about?

"If you're Senior Elina, you've been with Seniors Mistrair and Cornice the whole time, haven't you?

The two of them ran, but they looked at me surprised.

"Together? Were you seeing Elina on that spot?

"Mars, you didn't see me?

"... If so, you mean it was under some sort of sorcery?

If you believe what they said, apparently I was the only one who didn't see Elina.

(... heh.

You use funny magic)

I'm seriously impressed.

Is it some kind of hallucinogenic magic? Thought most of it.

(... yeah?

Suddenly, flaming columns rise in a straight line in the sky -.

- Dokan!!

Blast flames roared and blast flames dyed a clear sky with no clouds.

"What?

……

"It's not the end of the game...?

I didn't think so.

When I saw the students gather under the larnia in front of the fountain, I understood that was not a mistake.
