Three days have passed since we left the devastated Ingratus.

Once back to Trancy, go south in the middle of the day.

We arrived in the next town of Alweus around noon the following day, where we stayed overnight and headed to the mining town of Mons.

Joining our guide to the Empire arranged by Planus in Mons, we finally cross the border.

Small in front of the carriage, you can see the township of Mons rising with smoke from all over.

Mons is a mining town as well as one of the best animus producing regions in the Kingdom of Legnatrics.

During the war, and if the border zone were to be close, the craftsmen would always be very busy.

The smoke rising from the chimney must symbolize its busyness.

Well, on the road to Mons like that.

I put Ellea's body on my lap and was swayed by a carriage while I was stuck in a lily.

They're both sleeping tight with my chest and shoulders on their pillows, I guess I snuck in late last night.

Actually, I was asleep just now, too.

I woke up because I heard Planus from the Oracle Stone in the bag.

'How about the tail, when you arrived in Mons?

"Yeah, I just saw the town"

Reply to Planus as he drops the volume to keep them awake.

"Did you make any movement over there?

'Yes, I've decided to join hands with Mizuki'

I couldn't return the words immediately. [M]

Frequent silence.

Only the rattling and the noise of the wheels turning and the slight sleep of the two girls echo.

"Sorry, I didn't hear you very well."

'Yeah, that's why I put my hands together with Mizuki. I'll explain why now, so can you listen to me?

Apparently, it wasn't my mistake.

Is that what you call water trees? That's him. Is it about him who hates enough to kill him?

So, he said he put his hands together.

Mizuki and who? You don't have to ask yourself, Planus.

Pranas' voice was calm enough to tell me that.

As smart as naming a kingdom magician is, Planus is probably smart.

It would be a lie if I said zero springing anger, but I thought I'd talk to you first.

Because she must have a good reason for her.

"Listen, because. I want you to tell me while I'm patient."

'Okay. Now, first of all, we need to talk about this, so let me explain what's going on in the capital. "

Planus began to talk rationally.

That someone is leaping in the castle and that ministers and kings are under spiritual attack.

That the phenomenon she calls ”pollution” and that the pollution phenomenon is increasing in scale day by day.

"Is Orihalcon a great substance?

'Yeah, I repeat like I'm possessed. If there are other topics, conversations are usually established, but if Orihalcon is involved at all, reason will no longer work.'

"Well, I found out the Planas were so cornered. But how can there be water trees out there?

If Ivy says she's still safe, we can just talk about the two of us trying to solve the problem.

'Even I poked at first. But I've been thinking about it for a while.'

"What?

"The purpose of water trees is to avoid pollution and acquire” power ”to combat Mr. Shirotsume. That's what you want, isn't it? '

Pranas seems to be listening to the answers to clear questions rather than to make sure they are true or false.

Then let's answer honestly.

"Sure, I dared to snipe to make Mizuki resent myself. It'll save you a lot of trouble if you come closer."

"You don't want water trees to be polluted, either, do you?

"Well, I guess I'd rather be sane if I were to kill you anyway."

I wasn't exactly refreshed when I washed my clothes, including the fact that Friesha helped me.

'Even for me, I want sources and allies close to me, and then I thought it would be smarter to put my hands together. I don't know if it really helps.'

From what I can tell, Planus doesn't seem to trust anything about the character of Mizuki.

That's fine, because he's a bad guy who can fool others while he faces the good guys.

'Besides, Mizuki doesn't know that I and Mr. Shirotsume are working hand in hand. You wouldn't have thought the information you brought was leaking to you.'

"I see, that's funny."

"Isn't that right?

Unconsciousness is particularly good around.

It's a good punishment for a guy who plays with others.

"So in the future, I think I can give you some information about water trees, too."

"I'm glad to hear that, but are pollution and things really okay?

As strange as it is that Planus and Ivy are safe when it comes to being caught up to the king.

'I also know where the infection came from, so I'm fine... but if I start acting strange, please don't deal with it properly after that. He must be me, not me. "

"... ok. By the way, what was the cause?

"It was mixed with a meal."

"You mean drugs..."

"I wish it had been."

Pranas said that in a sigh mix.

Even though it can be mixed with a meal, it's not even a drug.

Then what the hell do you use to say that the people in the castle were contaminated?

Ivy checked out the castle kitchen and found the green glittering powder.

"No way......"

'That's not true. It wasn't drugs or anything, it was powdered orihalcon itself.'

I thought it was suspicious at the time the three washes were eroded and eventually crystallized.

But when this happens, I can't even say I'm just delusional anymore.

Though I think it's ridiculous, this place asks Planus, shaking off the other world, his own common sense.

"Maybe Olihalcon lives?

It takes in humans, or into humans, and interferes with the will to encourage growth and proliferation.

I felt something close to my instinct to leave seeds there.

'Do you think so after all? There's no certainty, but there's no way you can erode anima, manipulate the human spirit, or just do this to ore. I think it's similar.'

Around letting the host preach how great Orihalcon is, it also looks like a parasite.

Anyway, it's creepy, I hope my classmates are safe as well as water trees.

Otherwise, it won't be refreshing to kill.

"Mr. Misaki!

"Hmm? What's up, Rabbi?"

Being obsessed with the conversation with Planus, I saw Rabbi caught in a hurry.

"There's something wrong with Mons. That smoke, if you think it's coming up from the furnace, it's different."

"Huh, more importantly, do you want to start at this time..."

Pranas, hearing Rabbi's voice, makes a blatantly unpleasant voice.

"Planus, you know something?

Although the war began, Mons' working environment seemed to be terrible. There was an affair between the workers and the capitalists. "

At the end of my gaze, I can see multiple anims still fighting each other of the smaller ones.

In the middle of town, you can crush the building with a gun or a giant foot.

"I don't see that as just a conflict between a worker and a capitalist."

'Yeah, it wasn't supposed to be an armed collision or anything. Anyway, the capital side is holding the flow of gold. But lately, it seems that the Empire has begun to support the workers, and they have gained a force that doesn't fit their length. So, the more opposed the power, the more muddy the civil conflict became,' he said.

The Empire also perfectly performs the work of the hand.

I know it would have been around the knight to put it away, but I can't even afford that right now.

Actually, it can also be an empire that splashed Orihalcon around the castle.

"I want to go to the Empire early, can I ignore the fight?

'Avoid it if possible. If you really want to crush the kingdom, you might want to put your shoulders on the workers' side. '

"He said he could make connections to the Empire."

'That's the thing. I'll leave the judgment to you. "

I've been left to it.

If you think positively, do you mean you can afford to leave it to me?

I mean, aside from the practical use of the back booster, I don't even have plans for the next exam.

If we get out of this town anyway, the Empire is next.

Maybe I can get on with the words of Pranas and try putting them in my shoulders.

Towns of that size would have animators, and it's a hand to boost your power with predation.

"You're lucky to wake up and see Misaki's bad face"

Soon, Ellea's crushed eyes stared at this one.

"Oh, my God, did you look like that?

As I scratch her hair with my hands, I narrow my eyes to make her feel good.

"He looked just like he did last night when he messed with me."

"Ha, that must have been a bad face"

I laughed bitterly when I saw Ellea say it with a puff.

I really enjoyed last night. Hey, I'd love to look bad.

I'm sure Lily looked similar, not just to me.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Ultioh!"

In the middle of a single battlefield, I express my anima.

The worker side has eight old generation planes, Plumbum, and one Anima.

On the capitalist side, 12 current planes, Argento, two Animas, a golden one, flashy Animus.

That's an unrecognizable shape, maybe that's the sharpest machine ”Aurum”.

I wonder if I can afford to be using it for civil strife or something, even though I haven't deployed enough on the battlefield yet.

Now, the worker side is overwhelmingly disadvantaged on the number.

No matter how much plumbum is custom, you can't beat the next generation of machines that beat you in numbers.

Plus, even the number of animators is up there.

Whether or not I intervene there and the war turns upside down... depends on Aurum and the strength of the two Animas.

"Who!?

Animal users on the workers' side speak up.

It's a woman's voice.

Anima is yellow and goths, especially even though she looks like a blatant reminder of a construction machine for a boneless claw on her right hand three nails.

I thought you were an old man with a mustache.

"I'll explain later, just think of it as an ally now"

"I don't know...... that would help, because I was honestly tough!

With that said, Anima goes into the Argent herd.

Because my intervention dispersed the attack, there was a clear gap in the barrage of sausage guns unleashed by the enemy Animus.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Jumping into Argento's pocket, he sticks his arm out with a powerful scream and grabs that torso with a claw.

Gashan!

When he captures the enemy, Claw's three claws close, and the grabbed fuselage shrugs and crushes as he looks around.

No matter how much they are Animus, it's too much.

Was the enemy wearing out from the beginning, or does that claw have non-standard power?

Although the surrounding Animus attempts to rescue the sausage gun, Anima is not scared.

Bakie!

Eventually, by Claw, Argento was severed in two and completely shut down his function.

"Not yet!

Anima, full of energy, immediately turns to the next argent.

Anima on the enemy side, on the other hand, was stopped and isolated by eight Plumbum planes on the workers' side.

Anima won't let you bump each other, drain your enemies while you're holding back.

I guess that's the kind of division of roles.

Argento naturally has a higher cost per aircraft compared to the Plumbum of the old generation.

This means that the longer the battle prolongs, the more money the capitalist loses.

But you can't possibly keep as many as two animas in Plumbum forever.

What is required of her as an Anima user is to reduce Argento enough for her opponent to decide to withdraw as soon as possible.

I mean, what I should do is help her do that and destroy even one more Argent.

"Fast!?

Enter Argento's nostalgia with a breath, flashing with a armored sword shiversey.

Of course, countless bullets fly from around, but HP still has room, unintentionally, to continue the attack.

The opponent slaughtered in Shivaji turned his sausage gun towards us at close range, though he did not hesitate.

I activated Freemsulus and kicked up near the muzzle with a magical leg to freeze my enemies.

Paki......

Pull the trigger toward us immediately, but the bullet doesn't come out.

"Why, you don't get any bullets? Fault!?

"No, no, it's frozen."

Confused man friendly I shove my palm against the enemy's head parts as I tell him the answer.

"Agni!"

And he emitted flame radiation from his pressed hand.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

A red flame burns down Argento.

Argento, who had recently lost his HP, although he had endured it at the barrier while standing back at first, melted from head to shoulder.

Must be burning hell in the cockpit in good shape too.

Now the fuselage functions safely, but the pilot is not alive.

"Damn, what a buddy!

"I'll kill you. Whoo!

Along with the commonplace trinket dialogue, two more Argents deploy the sabel to approach.

"Skill activated (boot), envy my realm (Narkissos)!"

Leaps high in the sky with skill while avoiding bullets fired at your feet.

Boosting by magic again in the air while deciding on the Kuruku universe, Argent on the surface and descending suddenly.

"Do you want to use it...... Peel Piercer"

Van, and a thin, sharp purple blade from his heel, extends vertically.

That's the weapon I got the other day when I engaged with the Three Washers.

They deploy a small sausage label on their heels and use it to poke their opponents at the same time as kicking them.

I thought it was plain and hard to use, but I envy how this works. If I use it in combination with my realm (Narkissos)...

Zach!

A gravity-based flying kick from height hits Argento in the middle of the face.

At the same time, a blade unfolded on his heel pierced him like a pile.

And as it is, it falls to the ground horizontally.

"Oops."

He kicked Argent down and jumped up and managed to land.

Argent himself should have been scratched to the point where he could still be active, but I wonder if the pierced sabel was lucky enough to penetrate the cockpit.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Argent, with the other Sabel in his hand, comes on a special attack ready to crush the balls.

It's not that big of a deal.

Bum!

Gently dodges a servel waved down at the mercy of force.

When you make sure Argent hasn't looked at this one, who's been passing with momentum.

"Skill Activated (Boot), Dear Friend (Swindler)"

Skills simulated the appearance of "Argent” in an instant.

The enemy who immediately turned around was puzzled.

There's an allied plane where the enemy was supposed to be just now.

Funny, from a distance, an ally can't move over there in an instant, but the enemy is nowhere.

What the hell is going on?

As I walked over to him confused, I immediately seeded him.

"Vajra"

"... to?

Activate the weapon to instantly solve the simulation.

It's too late for them to finally realize that Argent in front of them is the enemy.

The ultra-high temperature beam emitted at close range instantly wiped out the opponent's HP - Argent melted his upper body in various places, leaving his lower body alone and falling.

In an instant, as many as three planes were dropped on their side, and the morale of the three remaining pilots was down to see.

"Do it, you!

The woman's riding anima said as she crushed the second plane with a claw.

From what I've seen, is it a melee-specific anima?

It covers armed impoverishment with high durability, output and mobility.

If Anima symbolizes the soul of the user, she must be a greedy and bright woman.

While we were destroying five Argents with two planes, two enemy Animas were destroying three Plumbums.

The loss is never small.

However, the opponent lost as many as 5 of the 12 Animus.

Damage is not this ratio, it will no longer be possible to continue the operation.

Two Animas on the enemy side interrupt the fight and take a distance from Plumbum.

At the same time, the remaining seven Argents, and one Aurum, also stopped and lagged behind the attack.

No, I didn't do anything to you, that Aurum, state-of-the-art aircraft, but I wonder what you came out on the battlefield for.

Is there a great man on board or is that aircraft just Halibote again?

"Come here, you bastard! Beh!

Yellow Anima showed her tongue-in-cheek bare gestures against her back and retreating enemies.

You look surprisingly childish......

"I don't know who it is, but it helped. Thanks!"

"You're welcome."

I really didn't mean to help either.

First of all, I was going to join my guide to the Empire, listen to me, and consider if I'd join the fight on top of that.

I will never forgive you for taking my family's life!

I heard that voice, and I couldn't help but add up.

Apart from the thoughts of empires and kingdoms, as the same avengers, there were parts of them that I could empathize with.

Sure, she's a person in the kingdom, but if you're saying joining her would be revenge for the kingdom, you don't have to hesitate.

"My name is Soleil Heliansus. So, this anima is called Wales. What about you?"

"My name is Misaki Shirotsume. This anima is Ultio."

"Oh, well, hello, Misaki!

For the sake of familiarity, I don't find it strange and disgusting.

I suppose you say this is highly communicative, I envy you.

"Why don't you come to our base? I don't have much room for money, but I think I can thank you."

"Don't hesitate, 'cause there's a place I need to go"

Even if you side with them, you must meet with the conductor once.

I disarmed Anima and tried to chase the carriage.

Then Soleil also follows to unlock the anima and approaches with a nostalgic smile.

Her hair was orange, a shortcut to the extent that her ears were hidden, and her slight blurring seemed the most symbolic of her personality.

I wonder if he is around 20 years old or he looks a little older than Ellea.

"Wow, you're younger than I thought"

With that said, she offered me her hand.

They're asking me to shake hands.

I had no choice but to grip it, and it was gripped back with stronger force than I thought.

"Thanks!

They came all the way down to disarm Anima just to say that.

"I heard that earlier."

"" Thank you "doesn't hurt how many times I've said it. It's true that I was helped, so let me show you how sincere I am when I can't thank you."

Really, the one who doesn't dislike this one either.

I know you're a good man, but there's also the danger that others are going to fool you easily.

If I let him wait too long, Lily and Ellea would swell, so I immediately finished greeting him and walked away.
