Magic Gems Gourmet

The time is a little before the date changes.

In Ist, the time period for the lowest temperatures approached.

Rooms for the nobility of the Inn.

In that room that Ain is renting, he was just about to leave now.

I can weave a black coat and carry a sword on my hips made of Marco material.

Standing next to him like that, Chris opens his mouth.

"- Me and Ein are going in, and we're going to leave the perimeter alert to Warren's men."

"Yeah. I don't think that's a problem."

"Haha...... I agree, but it's not always like Prince Wang does"

But I'm also used to interacting with Ain like that.

She glanced off the chill and looked at the vase placed on the table.

"That burn, the dragon flame in the example - will you do it?"

The burns are already fully healed.

but the maneater petals are burnt black by the way and the leaves are shriveled slightly.

She looked at Maneater, who was weak in the way that it was so painful and not acting, and looked away.

"Or did that happen in another experiment... Either way, there can't be anything to treat what was deposited with the princess and Prince Wang like this"

Ein wanted me to look into it, but there are doubts about the means not to think about it later.

In addition, some of the words he said about a Birdland merchant made him convinced.

How did that happen and what happened within the institute?

We must also hurry to the Institute in order to ascertain the so-called detailed situation.

"Oh, and... enough of that painful acting. I'll take vengeance, so this is a reward."

Ain't much of a hand into his nostalgia, he throws a little demon stone at him.

At that moment, Maneater felt better as if he had breathed back, his mouth wide open and chewed away.

'Huh... ah... a...!

"Huh... Huh..."

You weren't dying?

Why are you so well when you said you were so worried?

Chris compares Ain to Maneater.

"... well, that's my family... because they would be sucking away any amount of magic."

When I was with Krone, Maneater had a light resurrection.

For once, even if you are pushed into inactivity, as long as you have a connection to Ain, it is difficult to kill them off.

I see. Chris nods and reiterates that he is out of standard.

"Bye! Why do you look spicy for a while..."

"Sa, come on...... I don't know, personality or something..."

"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

A voice sounds all over the room as if to bruise her.

"- Yes, I did. What a lovely personality. Sounds like a flower."

He distracts himself from a man-eater with a strangely strong personality, and Chris tells him to throw up.

"Dear Ein. Take revenge or nothing. If you let me go, I'll do whatever I want."

"I think the building was collapsing in less than a few minutes after we left the lab."

What euphoria, what a flower true to desire.

Somewhere, it's undeniable that he feels like Ein has a similar personality, and Chris leaks a sigh he doesn't know how many times.

"You're supposed to be protecting the world tree, but you're too free."

"It's not just a world tree, it's a world tree of bulimia... hey, it's time to go"

Ain said and walked, and Chris approached to escort him.

"The nomenclature is about the treatment of goods deposited from the royal family. Until the end of the investigation in His Majesty's name, so I use royal decree to force the situation"

"How do you tell them that Maneater is back?

"He stayed with me until today. So I thought I was a parent and I ran away - but let's just say."

A sloppy, unreasonable response that a normal Ain't would do.

But he also means it because he understands that we have to force him.

Nor does Chris argue, nodding without speaking up.

"The rest shall be a cloudy answer. I asked for an investigation because I don't know the ecology."

"I understand. So..."

"Yeah, now I'm gonna get in the back of the lab."

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

The whole town is less crowded than during the day.

It was snowing, but it was never snowblowing, and there was no obstacle to walking.

As Ain walks with Chris, a drunken-looking man approaches him.

"Whoa... I'm sorry, brother"

Tong, and his body hits, and a man apologizes to Ain.

"Never mind. It's late at night, so be careful and go home."

"Oh, thank you..."

After a brief exchange, Ain took the paper out of his jacket pocket.

"Is there a man now?

Not angry at the man's disrespect, Chris asked.

"Yes, you did. It felt natural."

"May I ask what it is?

Ein opens the paper where it was, and reads out its contents.

"Simply put, the perimeter is clear. Trains and carriages can be stopped at any time."

"Master Warren's hands will contact you as cleverly as ever. Okay, well, when we get there, I'll call the lookout."

That's why Chris wasn't mad at the man.

Today she is dressed in outfits, knights of the king's capital to see.

On the contrary, the two are walking down the road with a special sense of intimidation because they are dressed as the Knights of Kingsguard.

"... what the heck, it's been a long time since I've walked with Chris in an outfit"

We have also walked together several times in Strom, but these days I felt like I was not using the clothes of the Knights of Kingsguard.

Sometimes Ain't stopped when he walks to the Adventurer Alliance, but he feels tight.

"Uh... doesn't it look good, does it?"

"I don't think it looks good or anything... personally, I like it like Chris"

"Oh - is that right... Shh, more than anything you like..."

Apparently, she swept away the word and rebutted the word, loosening her cheeks even though she said it was before the matter.

But if this is going to be a vitality, it won't be a bad thing either. Nor does the cold outside world seem to make her feel cold.

"- It's time to ask, Chris."

Institute of Paleontology.

Upon arrival near that building, Ain tightened his face and voice.

Chris also changed from a loose attitude until just now,

"Ha. I will now tell His Royal Highness Prince Wang has issued a royal decree"

Declared with a clear and powerful voice.

Then he walks faster than Ein, faster than he, and closer to the watch standing in front of the building.

"What are you! Suddenly… to…"

As she approached, she noticed the lab watch.

I even got to my feet during the day, but there's a difference in Chris' outfit from then on.

It would be the look I've seen, but the atmosphere was too different.

"We will now conduct an entry survey into our building"

I don't admit to disagreement.

The man on the lookout is frightened by the signs that the strong man who says Chris unleashes.

He opens his mouth to Chris as he shivers his body into small pieces.

"Oh, I'm judging by myself."

"No, I don't need your judgment. This time a royal decree has been issued."

"Royal Decree...... ugh!?

It is rare for the Royal Ishtarika to issue it.

As knowledge, I know that their royalty has such power, but no way, I never saw it used for this institute.

The watchman, bewildered, slowly paves the way.

Ahead, the Paleontological Laboratory stands spookily quiet.

near the laboratory entrance, and, by contrast, the passage begins to show a busy

In Chris, dressed in his outfit as Commander of the Kingsguard Knights, Ain weaves a black jacket.

Ain't that supposed to be widely known as a hero to the famous Crown Prince?

That's why these strange looks caught my eye.

Those around them look away and are intrigued by what happens.

"Dear Ein,"

"... yeah. No one's coming out of the researchers."

"Maybe already -"

"It could be possible that he abandoned the lab and ran away..."

If that were the case, naturally there would be regrets.

I didn't get behind it, until I got the certainty that they were black, which makes me regret it.

If it were white with my hands in the afternoon phase, I would lose faith in the royal family as well as Ain.

Caution is required. This is natural...

"… If it is any more, it will punish you because you are suspicious."

So I can't help but be somewhat of a hindhand.

Chris tells Ain that he has a bitter face.

The two nodded face-to-face, hurrying to step inside the lab.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

Feeling like a stuffed shell, it's quiet back there.

Nevertheless, even after noon, when I took a trip, this institute remained quiet.

The hallway is dim, and from time to time, the magic prop lights just shine around your feet.

Two footsteps echo everywhere, and the two sigh that no one is coming out.

"Huh... Dear Ein. Behind here… something seems to be happening"

That said, the direction Chris pointed at was the wall.

I suddenly thought I'd stopped, and suddenly she said something like that.

"You mean across the wall?

"Yes, I mean a cavity, I see signs of an open space"

(Wow, you know that too)

Knowing her unknown power, Ain feels dependable.

So when Ain't wondering what's wrong with this wall,

"Huh!

Pull out the rapier that you can carry on your hips, and if you're a regular person, roll out the poke at a speed you can't even catch up with your eyes.

Just a wall, a very common one made of wood or something, she stabs it with fierce momentum over and over again.

Damn it, the mistletoe and the blunt sound made a hole.

There was just enough hole for people to go through, and Chris explored it on guard.

Then, a wide staircase leads to the basement, and to the left and right of the hole, a door-like mechanism can be seen.

"Perhaps, somewhere, there's a demon prop hidden to open it."

"I can't believe you're hiding it. That's a good hobby.... As always, there's no sign of people."

While Ein says so, he looks out for the stairs and the space that follows them.

It's not like an institute on the ground,

"It's a lot of money down there."

"It's just a pseudo or something up there, and it sounds like the institute of fate down there"

Illuminated by blue and white light, one building material is very good.

The depth of the basement came firm when I saw the ground from a five-story building, thinking of it.

And a large door is provided downstairs from which dazzling light is leaking.

When they cross words lightly, they run down the stairs vigilantly.

I never found anything particularly disturbing or weird on the road.

If I ran down for more than a dozen seconds, I immediately stood in front of the big door.

"Dear Ein, I..."

"I'll open it. Chris, I'll take care of my back."

"Ah..."

Because I'm stronger, don't say I leave my back to you.

That's what they say, Chris watches him move forcefully, yet stands behind it to heighten his vigilance.

I set Rapier up small so that no matter what came, it was okay.

Ain, on the other hand, puts his hand on the door and puts momentum into it in both openings.

……

The door opened wide and the basement room widened to a full view.

The ceilings are high and the walls and the ground are all made of the same material.

A stone whose surface glows and glows blue and white, it is the same material where the stairs were located.

After viewing that material, which does not seem like an artifact, Ain slowly advances his legs.

"The illegal research that Lili and the others found, it's like that"

"... yeah. What a creepy study."

What the two of them saw was a giant glass cylinder several times their back length.

A bison with two faces or a Wyburn with multiple wings is sunk in the adhesive liquid.

There are many of these glass cylinders around.

From below, a thick tube is pulled and connected to the ground.

Also, a little further away, Ain't and Chris don't know what it is, there's a line of precision equipment-like magic equipment.

The only thing I can tell is that this is an enormously expensive laboratory.

"- Dear Ein! In that glass over there..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Ain't looking back at her panicked voice, if you look at the direction she pointed, it's a glass cylinder with no liquid in it.

smaller than the cylinder in which the bisons and others were sunk, but in which evidence remains that the man-eater would have been delivered.

"Oh, my God, did they set you on fire there?"

The color of the unburnt petals is identical to the man eater that Ein summoned.

In another flower? It was also possible to say that, in view of the current situation, it makes sense to make it a man-eater thing.

"Nevertheless, how could I burn..."

"I wonder why. I don't know what kind of experiment I did either..."

And while I was telling you, I was just looking around.

Ein noticed a large glass cylinder a little further away.

I'll walk there early and see what's going on inside.

"... I think it's been a very troublesome story"

I sighed loudly and gazed at Chris for coming after me.

Because I noticed what disturbing leftovers were in the cylinder.

"Oh, uh... what's wrong?

"I didn't want to find what was inside..."

"Is it in this glass?

Chris looks away from Ain's expression and closes in to see what bothered him so much.

Similar to what was in the man-eater, this cylinder is not filled with liquid either.

The difference is that something like a pedestal is delivered and

"Huh, could this be..."

Nearby Chris noticed.

To have something scattered around the pedestal, like a large fragment.

"Yeah, it's another dragon breed, but I've seen twin eggs, so I know better."

When he said so, Ain waved his sword and broke a glass cylinder.

It was quicker than Chris earlier. That buys her remorse.

But there are more important things than that,

"The problem is... yes"

He reached inside the broken cylinder and took the fragments scattered around the pedestal.

Bright red, then thick, streamlined fragments will pull Ain's cheek.

"Why do you mean there's no existence that would have been in there? In the other glass? Or do you mean..."

Here recently...... no, maybe the most mysterious face I've had since the Heim War.

Chris looks like that and looks at the fragments Ein has.

"Either way, you're already hatching..."

"And I guess it was quite a while ago that you were hatching. It's dry on the inside."

Abominable.

All I'm saying is that, Ain't crushing that fragment with a grip.

"Chris, I'm gonna hurry up and get out of here."

We have to find a fellow who escaped.

Let's go outside and tell the coverts.

(But he doesn't look anymore... so I haven't discovered the researcher has left)

Hidden should have alerted the lab.

Even so, we haven't received any information that the researchers have disappeared.

What plunders Ain's brain are the men of Robe, who was also a leap in Strom.

They were even hard-won opponents of the covert head Lili. Then I realized that this laboratory might also have an impact.

"Hurry up and contact Wang Du. Red Dragon may already hatch (,,,,,,,,)"

"- Ha!"
