It's all one flower.

2012. Encounters with intruders

Unda, a small city in the northwestern part of the Aatel Republic.

Rubell waits for Ensign Razzutchik's return in an empty house where his family was eaten and killed by an earthen fish.

The [Devil's Cage] in West Porch contained a Magic Artillery Cannon, but it was forbidden to unlock it here.

The small brown vial [Servant's Cage] required advanced technology and strong magic power to craft, but it was disposable. While we waited for the Magic Artillery to heal, we probably had less to refill.

I can't waste a single bottle.

Rubel sat on the edge of the mattress-free bed and looked out the open door into the hallway.

The miscellaneous demon in the room ran away from the bedroom fearing the [amulet] of the work clothes and solidified in the darkness in the corner of the hallway.

The windows were originally closed and locked, and the thick curtains became blindfolded.

If you don't make noise, even if the neighbors come home, they won't notice.

After confirming the current status of the Aquillo base, the attack was imminent, but Ensign Razutchik returned to General Command for some reason. After the operation was completed, I thought I could report the underground hangar as well, but I can't disobey my superior's decision.

It was not the Nemolaris government that destroyed the Aquila outpost in the summer of the first war. The Nemolaris were the guerrillas.

As a wizard, he proved that even a group of amateurs could crush a base defended only by Kilcruz soldiers and scientific weapons.

Combining the details of the detective's investigation with the rumors that Lubells had picked up in the underground town of Chernocnyjnik on Lanterna Island and the stupid claims that the exterminator and the like had spilled, it turned out that they had [jumped] inside the base and summoned the monsters.

We don't know exactly what kind they called it, but the Aatelites panicked and fired tank guns to kill themselves in the face of damage to the base.

The strength of the Nemolaris guerrillas is unknown, but no matter what, they will not be stronger than the two regular soldiers and the Magic Artillery.

There was a noise from downstairs, and Rubel raised his hips from the edge of the bed.

At some point the sun went down and it was dark around here. It wasn't the wind blowing in through the front door that caused something to collapse. What you can hear over and over again is the sound of someone moving things in the room.

Monsters and wild animals don't bump into things so many times.

Luvel whispered a spell and looked at his feet. The sight of Spotting Enemy slipping through the floor and ceiling captures the first floor.

The room directly below is unoccupied.

Shifting his gaze, there was a young man in working clothes in the dressing room of the wife. A powerful defensive technique is embroidered, and the [Amulet] emits a pale light that is invisible to the naked eye.

... an exterminator?

There are no demons in this empty house.

The brown-haired man opens the fancy mirror battles one after the other and scratches the cosmetics to find something.

... did your relatives ask you to collect the shapeshifts?

In that case, the time was too late, and it was unnatural for the [lamp] to be dotted.

Why don't you look for an album in a bookcase or shelf instead of a cosmetic mirror?

... ah, but I have to go somewhere where I can't find it either.

It's the same for Rubel who is in trouble.

However, I do not know when the Ensign will return. We also have a plan for tonight.

There is a way to contact the Ensign, but the second lieutenant is in close consultation with the General Command. Leave the [Flower Ears] at the reception desk. Even if I forgot to remove it, the [Flower Ear] and other effects were blocked by the strict protective technique applied to the room, and my voice could not be heard.

It would be foolish to leave here without permission.

And I don't know where to go.

The abandoned houses and factories that were used as bases in the capital, Rufus, were demolished in order to suppress the outbreak of demons and prevent them from being used as bases for demon beast nests and nemoraris guerrillas.

The sunny land was not crawling with demons, nor was it possible to hide.

President Podérez is unwilling to give up on the industrial park program.

Even as you head back to the city of Lanterna, the barrier closes at sunset.

If Ensign Razzutchik returns to meet with a suspicious Exterminator after moving on his own, it may turn into a battle.

Rubel took a deep breath and turned to the first floor.

The exterminator pulls out a silver bracelet from the back of the mirror and sees a watermark in the light of the street lamp that shines through the window.

Rubel almost shouted and blocked his mouth with both hands. The effect of Spotting expired when I was upset. I took a deep breath and managed to suppress my palpitations.

... Oriole... why are you here?

Even in my confused head, I immediately came up with a reason.

Use fire thieves to collect gold and use it to fund their activities.

Oriole is a [rapidly descending eagle (eagle)] school. It was a magical warrior with a focus on attack.

Even if you call it a magic warrior in one sip, the [Flying Horn Hawk (Bee Bear)] school's Rubell has no chance of winning the battle. What if they kill us and take the Artillery Cannon?

I realized that I had to jump to the General Headquarters and chanted [Jump].

"Beyond the point..."

Two men suddenly appeared in front of him.

The lubelle suddenly took a breath, and the crowded magic power dissipated into the fog.

One of them was Oriole.

The other was an unknown face wearing the same work clothes, and raised the same [Flying Horn Hawk] school insignia as Rubel.

... have I been seen in Spotting Enemies ... since when?

Oriole grabbed Rubel's shoulder in a daze.

"What are you doing here?"

I'm expecting you, Senpai.

“How's it going?

The two of them let out a discouraged voice.

"I'm going to buy dinner tonight." The wizard didn't let me into the store, and the lodge is full, so are you? "

“Are you going to stay here?”

A man in a group looks around at the galloping bedroom.

The blankets and sheets were folded and hung on the bedside fence, but there was no mattress.

"I didn't think it was like this inside, but senpai told me to wait here, and I couldn't get in touch without being connected to the Internet."

Luvel and the Ensign changed their faces with Makeup necklaces. "The exterminator who came to earn money from the Makodes Republic," I tried to push through with my belly enclosed.

In Oriole's hand, the bracelet shone a pale pearl light.

... what? The [Amulet] bracelet? Why would you put something like that in an Artelian's house?

Oriole noticed Rubel's gaze and twisted his lips.

"We're hollow."

Huh?

Concerns about the mouth seal ran around my brain, but I didn't mind [jumping] while being grabbed by my shoulder.
