The streets stretching south from Dinde turn west on the way.

Because if you keep going straight down, you'll hit the mountain.

But even if we detour west, it should be noted that we have to overcome that high and low difference in order to reach the town beyond the mountain - the "thame”.

It was the night that passed Dinde, so the time is now late in the day.

Lily sleeps with her head on my shoulder, and Ellea, who is in a diagonal mood, has her neck choked.

The horse-manipulating rabbi is also in a forward leaning position, as you can see from behind, and it is obvious that he is tired.

I don't care what you think about crossing the mountain in this state.

That's why the carriage stopped as close to the river before plugging into the mountains and was to be wild here tonight.

Set up a tent quickly with me and Rabbi, and sleep in it with Lily and Ellea.

"It just doesn't make me feel comfortable sleeping in the same tent as the opposite sex," Rabbi said, apparently sleeping in a luggage car.

Probably the real thing is, 'I can't sleep with a killer like you because I'm anxious'.

Lily and Ellea, who were tired from the beginning, let go of consciousness as soon as they entered the sleeping bag.

On the other hand, not excited to see the battle and predation against Kuniculus, and the doomed town of Dinde, I could hardly sleep as I heard the sound of a burning fire outside that could play patsy.

"Mr. Shirotsume, are you awake?

From inside the bag I kept near my head, I hear Pranas.

When I took out the Oracle Stone, I replied with a small voice.

"I'm awake, but they're asleep."

"Two?

No, you didn't mention Ellea and Rabbi.

"Can I say I'm one of them, I've got two more. One of them is a girl, so she sleeps in the same tent."

"You've been following me a lot"

"Because it's like I was forced to bring you here. So, what can I do for you?

'To see if the journey is going well and to provide information. I want to make sure one thing, why are you sleeping in a tent? It's about the time you arrived in Dinde.'

"Oh, because Dinde would have crushed it"

"To?"

"Dinde was destroyed by the bandit Animus a few hours ago, and all the inhabitants are dead."

'Does that mean literally?

"If it makes any other sense, I want you to tell me."

Planus sighed loudly across the stone.

"I may have chosen a hell of a man on my side."

What are you talking about?

"I thought you said you were gonna kill them all when you broke out of jail? That said, I'm not a ghost either, so I'm not going to kill a traitor like Planus, or a promising growth stock in the future, or anyone else who does harm to the kingdom just because he's alive. And if you kill someone, they won't kill you yet.

"It would be nice to destroy Dinde, it would be only a matter of time before she noticed."

"Nobody will notice, I just guided them, and it was actually the bandit Animus who put his hands down. And if there's not a single survivor, there's no witnesses."

'Ha... it's a mess, but it may actually make sense, considering that after a few hours the whole matter of Dinde's doom has not even reached the king's capital, Caputo'

To be honest, that's just why I made it up right now, if Planus convinced me.

"So, what's informative?

'Which do you want to hear from, bad news or very bad news?

"I don't want to hear it. I want to sleep."

"Then from the very bad news"

I thought that would happen anyway.

"Mizuki has taken his life, the aftermath is likely to remain, but he will join the front line because his will is stiff."

Because I say it's very bad news, if you think Planus has been shaken by Ivy or something like that.

"Heh, heh, heh, heh, heh!

I shudder my shoulders and laugh to keep the volume down so I don't wake the two of them.

Oh, my God, that's rather good news.

This sounds like another ”bad news” to me.

"Why are you laughing?

"That makes me laugh. I plan on getting more water trees to suffer, so I'm glad I didn't get screwed up to this extent. I think so from the bottom of my heart."

'... that's what you think. Then let's get another announcement done as soon as possible because it looks ok'

"Please."

"I have an overview of the new weapons being developed by the Kingdom. It looks like a weapon using the newly excavated Oryhalcon in a mine in Fodina, north of Caputo."

It's called Mithrill and Good Orihalcon, that's just a name I've heard somewhere.

Mithril should have been a magical ore, but now what magical tangling powers does Orihalcon have?

'Orihalcon has the power to amplify magic. Looks like the military is going to use this as a reinforced outer shell material for animation.'

"Reinforced outer shell for anima?

'It means as it is, an outer shell to improve the output and functionality of the anima. Although it also seems to be commonly known as Anima Animus in the sense that Anima gets in'

"Anima Animus..."

I think one of Anima's advantages is that people suddenly turn into giant weapons, dump them there and pursue performance, huh?

Anima to Anima, I don't think the battlefield where Animus bumps into each other would be enough use.

'There seems to be a problem with fuel consumption and development is difficult to navigate, but if it's not all over the body, some of the fuel consumption issues can be cleared (...), and the test operation is about to take place'

"Part of what?

'Back booster, the point is, it's a propulsion device using magic. Just put it on and you'll be able to fly through the sky in any anima'

He said he'd take it.

"Isn't that a pretty innovative technology?

"Yeah, I finally figured out why the military was still making room even when they were cornered by the Empire."

From the mouthfeel of Planus, it seems that so far the only substance to be orihalcon is the Kingdom of Legnatrics.

In this world where Animus crawling through the earth is the standard weapon, I don't think there is enough ground-to-air arming.

Unilateral mastery of airspace control.

That does have the power and impact of just turning the situation of kingdom disadvantage upside down at once.

"By purposefully communicating that information to me, you mean that maybe the scope of the study operation includes the area around Dinde?

"You know. Besides, the members also include Mitarai, who seems to have a strong hatred for you, and the deep cuttlefish connected to Mr. Akabane '.

"Three washes and a laurel? Anyway, the anima of laurel is troublesome..."

The anima of laurels is "haylos".

The golden colour of each part and the appearance of the cape is a brave anima.

Not by foresight, but by ability. High among summoned classmates, armed, numbered and powerful again.

And most troublesome was Haylos' skill glory (Gloria).

A constantly activated skill, the effect is to unconditionally increase the output and mobility of the Friends present around you.

Clearly, it's a skill with breaking performance.

Some personalities don't fail to make an effort because of their genius, and they should be on a higher level than they were the last time they saw it - and if that were to strike from the sky, it should be even harder to deal with them.

'There are a total of six people taking the test, including those two. However, they will not actively try to engage because their purpose is not combat, it is only a booster exam'

"I don't know, I think Sanwash will attack me as soon as you see me, but Ivy gave you permission."

'There was no one else I wanted. We all have lives to spare.'

Exactly half of them are dead, do you even want to pull them off?

If we don't drag them out somehow, the revenge won't be over for long.

"But, you know, I think it's overwhelmingly more advantageous in the sky if you're air-to-ground, but is that also why you can't fight anything else?

Not to mention, if you mean to use it up to Haylos, there's no reason not to fight.

If it's just a test flight, other animators should be enough.

'Cause it's still unfinished. First of all the Anima barrier on the booster itself...... the durability problem is tight because HP is not adapted. And if fuel consumption is just flying, it shouldn't last that long.'

"You're vulnerable to shocks and long wars, so it looks like you could do it."

When that happens, I don't know why more and more laurels come out.

Does the fact that Sanwashi's in there also mean these two ran for office?

'I thought you'd say that. But there are six opponents this time, plus a mix of cuttlefish. Yume, please don't be alarmed.'

He said, "I know."

Afterwards, I checked the names of all the test teams from Planus and the timing of their departure before finishing the conversation.

I thought I couldn't fight the guys in my class for a while because I burned the Silva Forest, but I can't believe the opportunity came so soon.

If Sanbai was running for the test, my operation to ”dare just let Sanbai escape” would have been a quick success.

If this is going to catch me easily, I might be able to use it a couple more times.

If you can afford it, why don't you dare miss it during tomorrow's engagement without preying on it?

Well, it's suspicious if I can afford that much while dealing with Haylos.

Still, you're in trouble.

I couldn't even sleep, but I heard you talk about it. You're too excited about tomorrow to sleep extra.

Or so I can't deal with as many as six animas in a state of sleep deprivation.

I went into my sleeping bag, closed my eyes, and tried to force myself to sleep.

Needless to say, it took quite a while for my awakened brain to fall asleep completely.

◇ ◇ ◇

The next morning, I told everyone what I heard from Planus yesterday at breakfast.

It took me a while because I had to explain who Planus was in the first place and how I talked to him, but they all seemed to understand the situation.

"It would be useless to say, so I don't ask," Why do we need to fight, "but in the meantime, what should I and Mr. Labby do?

Ellea said in dismay.

Exactly. Neither do I want the helpless Ellea and Rabbi to join the fight.

No, speaking of which, Ellea also uses anima.

You wouldn't listen to me if I told you to join the fight, but I wonder if you could do as much to protect the rabbi.

"Can't you protect a carriage with Ellea's Anima?

"As you can see, it's these limbs and eyes. My Anima” Teneritus ”is in a similar condition. I think to the extent that we can make some kind of move on all fours, it's just for purpose."

"I knew it would reflect there, too. So I figured I'd just have to ask them to wait away."

"So you're dealing with me on the Cape."

"Gui's here, but are you okay?

"Because Shiro and Weiyue are just friends, and me and Weiyue are not so close. It's okay, I can kill you right now about the Great Moon."

Lily smiling and saying it out.

She looked sexually cute like that, and I held her hand, which was close.

"Eh heh..."

Lily can flaunt her cheeks even happier.

"You two have been the same since morning."

"It's a strange thing because even if you can't see it, you just hear your voice and you know what you're doing..."

The words of Rabbi and Ellea never reached me and the world of lilies.

◇ ◇ ◇

Ellea and Rabbi's carriage is over the mountain first.

Urtio and Illiteum waited for them to come, where they climbed the mountain a little, lurking themselves in the depressed and lush trees in a state of yield.

If the operation is on schedule, it's time for six animators to be caught by a despicable overlooker (Lifetocher).

It has already activated the Demon Bullet Archer (Illegal Sniper) and is capable of firing the variable Sorcery Gun into Sniper Form (Mode Answer) at any time.

The six people who will take part in today's booster test are mixed with a woman named Tsukigi.

She had excellent grades but was always the type of girl who cared about her surrounding eyes and had high pride and trouble.

She showered me with heartless words, sometimes stepping on my feet more than once, or maybe to care about my surrounding eyes and match them around me.

But I never meant to forgive her. [M]

Animals of such castle construction possess ”Thornsia", a sensing skill similar to that of a despicable overlooker (Life Torcher).

So they were caught off guard.

I had decided on my own that as long as I had detection skills, I should not be ahead of the game.

Because they don't know I'm getting the skills inside.

Even with the same detection skills, Thornsia's skills are narrow in scope, instead of obtaining detailed information about her surroundings.

And combined with the Demon Bullet Archer (Illegal Sniper) and the Sniper Form (Mode Answer), you can attack from outside that range.

Fighting 6-for-2 overwhelmingly disadvantages this one, no matter how good Ultio and Illiteum are at it.

Besides, the opponent is flying in the sky, this one, by contrast, has to crawl on the ground.

To turn the war upside down first - it was important to take the lead and be unexpected.

Six animas appear in Ultio's sight.

I eventually targeted Thornsia of the castle, the booster fitted on its back.

Well...... I wonder how many of those I can eat today.

With a tongue-in-cheek, I pulled the trigger for the war.
