I was running around the city of Lulugus.

If we get out of the city, we can run for real.

Running here for real is gonna be a big deal.

I ran even as I held back the feeling of itching.

"There it is! Gate!"

Finish the process with the gatekeeper, a little from the city.

Away from home, I started running for real.

The destination doesn't seem so far away, gradually.

The woods are approaching.

Is that the Forest of Mirage?

It's foggy enough to tell in the distance,

I thought I was going to get lost as soon as I got off guard.

I've already seen the sunset.

If we don't find it soon, it will be night.

I hope nothing happens.

I went into the Phantom Forest.

The fog was even thicker in the woods, as far as I could not see 10 m away.

"This is not the place to look..."

If you don't know the terrain in your skills, you can't go home.

I was just.

But even if I could go home, they'd find Luli.

It doesn't make sense without it.

... may be useless, but do you want to speak up?

"Hey! Lurie! Are you there?

Hmm?

It's like I heard a voice from over there...

Running in the direction I heard voices, I...

I kept speaking out.

"Luli! Where -!?

Your voice gets closer and closer.

"Right here. Yo!

"That way!

I heard your voice from right around the corner, so I came over.

On his way, Luli was sitting leaning against a tree.

"Ha... finally found...

What are you... "

"Haha... me, I got lost..."

He looks cheeky and faceless.

I reached out to Luli.

"Well, let's just go home today.

I know the way. "

With that said, Luli let his eyes shine.

"Really!?... or why you're here, Al?

Ugh, do you mislead successfully?

"Oh, that's..."

I was about to tell you, I felt zooey cold.

When I checked the perimeter, I saw a shadow of the human form on the left.

"I finally found it...

Hey, although it's good that I lured you in,

I couldn't see the surroundings at all due to the fog and it was hard to find them...

If it hadn't been for my voice earlier, I might have destroyed every forest.

Perhaps. "

That's what I'm saying. Keep coming.

Coming up.

This voice...

"This voice... no way..."

Looks like Luli remembers this voice, too.

And finally, the Lord of Voices is coming from us.

I came to the visible position.

"Oh, there's two of us, so I thought someone

Was the other you?

As far as I'm concerned, I'm glad you saved me the trouble. "

Seeing that face, Luli made his face tense.

"I knew...

You... are the merchant who told me the rumors of a lie...? "

For Luli, a merchant heard rumors of lies.

And...

For me, when I'm looking into evil dragons.

He was a merchant who taught me the way to the library.

"Nevertheless, he said he taught me the corner road.

I didn't know you'd leave right away without listening to me.

I thought you were the one who couldn't get inside...

I didn't expect to jump into this vortex myself! "

That's what the merchant says. He laughs joyfully.

Evil Dragon was horrible, but so was Koitsu,

If I suck, I suck more than that.

I need the discerning power to check my status.

"... oh?

He acted like he was shaking something off with his arm.

Bachin! The sound sounds, and the power of discernment

It did not activate the potency.

"... what?

The power of discernment... was bounced?

"Excuse me, you didn't introduce yourself yet.

You don't have to try to find me like that. I'll teach you. "

Did he... play it intentionally?

"I am the subordinate of the Evil God" Loki Daewa "

See you later. "

That's what I say. I humbly thank you like a nobleman, Loki.

When he raised his face, Loki's black eyes went red.

It was discolored.

"Well, which way do you want to--"

"Hahhhhh!

Luli sets up a sword and jumps at Loki.

The expression took a look at the anxiety.

"Wait, Luli! He's..."

He asked Luli to stop him and reached out but it was too late.

"... then, as you wish, I'll start with you.

Let me give it to you!

For a moment, I didn't know what happened.

but Luli bled out of her body.

I could only understand that he was blown away.

"What, uh..."

Loki was watching the blown up Luli.

"- Brittle"

I shrugged like that in a cold voice that froze everything.
