I'm aiming for a ruin in the desert, but I get anxious from time to time if it's approaching because I can't grasp the sense of distance. Even though the ruins themselves have a prominent appearance, they are ideal as landmarks.

"You're still stuck, that tower."

There's no need for Ramis to blur. One stick I've been seeing since long before I left the settlement.

Initially it only looked like one long hair swaying in the desert, but it also looked like a pretty thick stick on the fourth day across the desert.

"The pillars of the desert can be damned, it'll be spectacular if you get close."

The desert pillar in Hulumi's mouth seems to be another name for the tower, which is a relic. Seems like a different real name, but it's been a popular call among the hunters since sometime.

They say the desert pillar is a hundred stories, and the top floor is seated by a hierarchical lord.

Until about the tenth floor, an intermediate hunter team seems to be easy to reach, and the majority of hunters who make pretty good money and live in this hierarchy are looking to make that money, the burning chairman said.

"Oh, it's hot... I want ice cream"

I handed Shui a refreshingly orange ice cream for her fifth ice cream today. I know it's hot, but if you eat too much, I'll break your stomach.

They were the three people who used to stick to my body all the time, but now they seem to be getting used to the heat a little bit, walking a little distance, and when the limits get closer, they stick around repeatedly.

"Ice cream and cold drinks seem exceptionally delicious after withstanding the heat," you said to Shui. Seems like an operation that deliberately increases the deliciousness of the meal by feeling the heat. It's like she likes eating more than anything else.

I can't say that progress is fast enough to flatter you because the hottest days take longer breaks, but the demon crusade is going well and so far no problems have arisen.

I haven't seen anyone since.

Hulumi's reference to anyone includes corpses. Until the second day I ran into some dry bodies, but I haven't seen anything other than demons since.

The lack of change in the landscape is pretty tough, and there is a suspicion that it's really going on. Only the gradual thickening of the desert pillars is a testament to the progress being made.

A week has passed since I left the settlement, but will it be time for me to arrive?

"You said you were talking about the burning chairman. If things went well, you said around ten days. We're moving pretty fast, don't you think it's time to get there?"

Hulumi on the back of the button narrows his eyes and stares at a single stick standing in the desert.

The desert pillars are getting thicker by the day, but they still only look about as thick as a stick. Whatever you think, you still have a distance.

"Kurohachi, could you look forward for a moment?"

"Quack."

When Kikoyu spoke to Kurohachi, who was resting on my head, he rang and flew away.

Don't see a pitch-black body in a cloudless sky. It is also somewhere fantastic to see it slip away soooooo with its big wings.

As I blurted to see that figure gradually becoming smaller, my figure suddenly scratched off...... eh?

"Oh, Kurohachi!?

"Now it's suddenly gone!

"Oh, they did disappear"

"I was manipulating my vision to improve my vision, but it disappeared without any foretaste."

"Master Hackon, it looked like he disappeared on me too"

Am I wrong? We are all witnessing the moment they disappear.

It's unclear what happened, but everyone walked faster to make sure of it. When I opened my mouth, I was alert to zero anxiety. No one said anything, and I was silently walking.

I kept walking for about an hour to get to the point where KuroHachi disappeared, but nothing strange happened.

"Hmm, nothing. I thought it was around here."

"Kurohachi... are you okay?"

"Bufobbfo"

Button shakes his head hard up and down the worried kikoyu and looks comforting.

I also wondered if someone had shot me down as the worst development, but without a body, there's nothing like a part of my body being rolled over.

"I wonder why it disappeared... it didn't look good because it was a flash, but I suddenly increased my speed or something"

Ramis isn't choosing words. He really thinks so. Right.

As far as I'm concerned, I don't want to think he's dead because I don't believe there's any way Kuroshima can get hit so easily. That brings me back to the question of why it disappeared.

"That, isn't something weird here?

Ramis drops me off and then sticks his face out into the void, staring at me.

There doesn't seem to be anything weird about it, but why do you keep taking it so seriously?

I'm also caught looking at the same place...... especially...... whoa, is that any shake?

Just a little bit, but I felt the footage in front of me shake a little. It was like a wave of landscape on the water.

"Again, you rocked, didn't you? I wonder..."

Rummis reached unconstructively and tried to touch that part, so he rushed to fly a pet bottle of the removal port.

When I hit the part where the pet bottle was shaking before my hand touched it - it disappeared. It disappeared just like it did when Kurohachi was around.

"Wow, it's gone! Hackon, it's gone, it's gone!

Yeah, I know because I was watching, Ramis. Let's just calm down, shall we?

Tension is rising. When I hit the kink with a chilled can juice on her cheek, I said, "Hi-yay!" I shouted and became quiet.

I take out another bottle of pet and slowly move it closer to where it disappeared manipulated by (Mind Power). When I gently hit the tip of the pet bottle on the part that is still shaking just a little... the part I touched disappeared. Only the areas touched as if they were sinking into the water could disappear beautifully.

I tried to push in another half or so, but it is completely extinguished. I was concerned about the cutting surface of the disappeared part, so I pulled it back - that, there is a pet bottle that should have disappeared.

"Oh, that? It's back."

Again, I figured it out, but apparently if you move on from a part like the water, you just can't see it from here, it's not extinguishing.

"What's going on here?"

Looks like we had a bunch of buddies together while I was doing the experiment, and they're all leaning their necks to that strange sight.

He repeatedly plunges and pulls the iron sphere of Morningstar, his weapon. Shui is doing the same thing with an arrow next door.

"Sounds like a kind of installation-type hallucination similar to my protection. Isn't this where the boundaries are and the future is a completely different sight?"

Does that mean that Kurohachi didn't even disappear, it just seemed to disappear?

"That's funny."

That doesn't stick your head in without thinking!

The tip disappears from Ramis' neck and it's a complete horror. The voice seems to mislead only the sight because it can be heard.

"That's so close! The tower is right in front of you!

Everyone stuck their faces in response to a surprise.

Wow... all my heads have disappeared. I wonder what this surreal sight is.

But I'm a little jealous. I don't like the fact that I'm the only one who can't participate, but I'm a little lonely.

"You really have a desert pillar nearby. Was this hallucination preventing you from falsely approaching the distance? Is it a force similar to my protection?"

"It still looked like there was a distance. You frustrated me along the way and made me illuminate myself wanting to turn back to the settlement."

"Does that mean I was such a smallworker because someone didn't want to get near me?

"I wonder why I did this. The burning chairman didn't say there was such a mechanism."

"I didn't say. Right, Master Hackon?"

"Welcome"

The burning chairman will never forget to tell you such an important thing.

Does that mean someone planted it? The only thing that could be considered for that purpose is that you didn't want to keep people close to this tower.

"You're starting to freak out all at once."

"Right. It may not be a glimmer."

"Whose job is it?"

"Don't worry, I won't let Master Hackon scratch one!

"Is Kurohachi suspiciously checking the area?"

While my colleagues are alert with an immediate understanding of the situation, I am frowning with Rummis tilting his neck.

"I don't know what you mean...... do you know Hackon?

He seemed to realize that he was the only one who didn't understand, and he asked me in a whisper.

You don't have to worry because it's my job to be vigilant, is that too spoiled? This slight slip is part of her charm.

It's not Ramisu's character who's smart enough to detect the danger beforehand. As long as you're carrying me, I can make up for what's missing, so I feel as good as I am now.

Nevertheless, it was a dangerous hunter operation. There are many occasions when comprehension becomes necessary, as life is often at stake. I have to explain it properly.

It takes so long with so little words from what I told them, that when Hulumi gave everyone an explanation of the status quo that he could predict from his current state, he still already grasped it, except for Ramis.

"Uh, someone might be masterful in the desert pillar, so you mean be careful"

Yeah, you're right.

And it means that the Tashite and the Burning Flames regiment that Hebui is searching for in their wickedness may be joining.

This is only a prediction, not a certainty. But I've never been more vigilant.

The tower was really in front of us as we all re-tightened our minds and crossed the boundaries of the waves. The distance won't be a hundred meters.

A giant single pillar is stretching toward heaven. I can't see its tip when I look up and just imagine how tall the top is and I'm going to be dazzled.

"Ah, Kurohachi!

He walks over to Kikoyu and stares at him as if nothing had happened to Black Hachi, who emerged from the back of the desert pillar.

"Good day. How was it, I found something"

He touches his head and asks a few questions. Looks like Kurohachi is asking for information on what he's been up to.

"Uh, he said the tower was too high to reach the top. There were no signs of people around, and the watchful figure looked down from the second floor of the tower. He said he pulled in to pick up the arrows if he was scattered, and he said if he was going, he'd be inside now."

It's all because of you. You can't miss this chance, you made me KuroHachi.

We ran all the way through the remaining distance and stuck it to the big iron door of the tower at once. Even if I peeked from the top here, I wouldn't see the shelter in the way.

Well, here's the real deal. I have to go.
