"This tattoo. Can't I break it?

Anna speaks the question.

"I tried to destroy it too, but it's hard to apply or subtract force. Half-force won't scratch one, and if you use too strong attack magic, you're going to hurt even those who are taken in..."

"I see. But maybe a sword can do it"

Anna unleashes the two magic swords she was carrying - the Magic Sword of Thunder (Keraunos) and the Magic Sword of the Wind (Anemoi).

And at the same time, swing it down to the kotatsu.

It was a beautiful slaughter to see. But I get bounced back by the cocktails.

"... really tough. If it's a stronger slaughter, it's going to kill everyone inside."

"Dean. Any good ideas?

"Hmmm... this is taken in by everyone in town, isn't it? Finding a way to help would take too long if I did it one by one. Mr. Arthur, do you have any idea where the cottage came from?

"Yep. It's from the back of a newly dug pit. Let me show you around."

The moment Arthur said so.

From the mountains, the kotatsu flew in.

That number, twenty.

"It's an interception!

"I'll take care of it!

Laura and the others unleash attack magic. Anna also flies an electric shock from Keraunos to attack Kotatsu.

There are no people inside this time. I can attack as much as I want.

The Great Sage quickly released his magic into the wrong digits, wiping out ten cocktails with a bullet of light.

Laura also blew up six cocktails with a losing ball and a fireball.

And for the remaining four, the offensive magic of Charlotte and Arthur. Anna's electric shock. And Haku's flaming breath strikes.

It was all a powerful blow.

But don't the four cocktails come toward the surface while scorching it, keeping the speed.

"I can't believe my magic doesn't work like that...!

"Hehe, boulders are relics of ancient civilization!

The Great Sage had just unleashed ten powerful attack magic shots, but went on to shoot four more.

So I thought I shot down all the snails. but one cocksucker takes evasive action and pushes forward.

"Holy shit!

Laura unleashes a fireball on the cocktail that the Great Sage shot off.

Direct hit. Blast.

"Laura, it's a nice follow. Thanks."

"Eh heh. But even if I didn't make it, the dean could have fired another shot, right?

"I could shoot you, but I'm gonna get tired"

That would be so.

Because we're here in large numbers, don't let the Great Sage work all the time and relieve you of the burden with Laura and the others.

"Charlotte, it's dangerous!

When I defeated a bunch of cottons and relaxed.

Arthur shouted and thrust Charlotte.

Moment after moment, one of the cottons flew in from a different direction than the earlier one, enveloping Arthur.

"Become! Father... Father!

Charlotte leads to the cottage.

Laura and the others have no choice but to stare stunned at the condition.

This is the middle of the enemy line.

I was relieved just to defeat the enemy I was seeing.

Totally Laura's mistake.

In the meantime, only Arthur noticed a new knack and protected his daughter.

"Charlotte... I can't do this anymore... I entrust this map to you..."

"Oh no... Father, please crawl out of the cocktail!

"I can't... I can't feel too good... I really don't like getting my arms out like this either... Come on, get a map..."

"Ugh... Father..."

Charlotte receives the map given to her in tears.

Then Arthur pulls his arm right in, and he looks so happy.

"Oh...... what is a cottage so great...... Charlotte...... I hope you get taken in by a cottage soon too...... nothing to fear"

"Father!? What are you saying! We came to save the people who were taken in by the cottoos...!

Charlotte cries out.

But Arthur doesn't answer anything anymore.

Just close your eyelids quietly and sleep hey.

"I'm sorry, Charlotte... if I'd been firmer..."

"Me too... I couldn't feel the signs of a snail..."

"A monster would be willing to kill. Kotatsu sneaks in without a sign...... but only Charlotte's father notices"

"Only your father looked around while we were caught off guard... to find a way to stop the snails for your father too...!

Charlotte gets up wiping her tears.

There was no sadness in that look. There was only a determination to definitely help his father.

Look at that. Laura and the others pull themselves together.

First, follow the map entrusted to you by Arthur and head to the pit where the snails appear.

"If that cocktail spread to the whole world... mankind is doomed!

Not a moment more alarm is tolerated.
