Munou To Yobareta Ore, Yottsu No Chikara Wo Eru

I ran up the stairs and headed under the Balmunks.

After Levi popped out of the room, I wish I had left the room too, sadly for a while now... no, I don't care about that anymore.

"Anyway, I need to find Levi...! Something's going on... Ah!

At that time, a wet balmunk appeared from the top of the stairs.

"Ba, Balmunk! Levi..."

Shortly thereafter, I was suddenly grabbed by Balmunk and slapped against the wall.

"Gu...... bal......!?

"What did you do to Levi?!?

"What!? No, I don't... I don't know...!

"If so... then why was she crying!

"... Huh?

Levi... cry...?

"Duh, what do you mean...? Where did you see Levi?!?

I mean... I'm nothing like crying Levi...!

"I saw it from the roof! Didn't you say something!? It's like hurting Levi......!

"Yes, I didn't say it! I really don't get it!

"You must be true...? Then you did something to make me mistake it!?

"And I didn't! I really don't..."

No, wait...... well in retrospect, Levi has been a little crazy since he got back.

Levi came home just after I went back to my room......

That means no way......

"Hit me... were they watching...?

I was just meeting with Mariana.

"... seen? I knew you did something!?

"Chi, no! It's not like that!

"What is that!?

They wanted me to keep it a secret... but I can't help it this way.

"... I was seeing Mariana. She said she really wanted to talk..."

"Mariana......? Oh, you were the head of the Armenian knighthood. So, what are you talking about? Did you say something?

"Oh, I'm not talking about that! Mariana... wants to take revenge on her best friend who was murdered... that's what she said!

So Balmunk's power weakened, and I was finally liberated.

"... you mean that. Hmm? Then why does Levi need to cry?!?

"Ya, maybe that's because... I lied to Levi..."

"Huh!? Why not!"

"Ma, it seems Mariana has decided to travel alone to take revenge if she can repay Greece. I only told him because I wanted to hear about Titanomachia in person, and he kept it quiet... because if Jill found out, I could definitely stop him. So don't even tell Levi you're close with Jill... that's what they said..."

"Ha... I see"

Of course I stopped it.

But her determination is pretty stiff, and she hasn't convinced me out yet.

"... I get the story. But talk to Levi properly. I don't know if you realize... but she's... pretty anxious, isn't she?

"... Huh?

Les, Levi...?

"I don't know what you think of yourself... that there are times when you don't know. I'm not gonna let you talk."

"Oh, I take care of Levi......!

"I know what you're talking about, idiot! Tell that directly to that girl! I'll tell you what, it's sweet to say you know by attitude. At the end of the day, it's words! Besides," I told you once, that's enough. "Girls don't... I don't know if they have to tell me again and again!

Oh, really...

I'm on my own... I just think it's something I'm passing on...

"Oh, I'm sorry... I was stupid"

We've been together forever... and I couldn't even notice you at all.

Sorry Levi......

"... it doesn't make sense to apologize to me. Levi's got Ascaron after him... I'm just leaving!

"Oh...... ok!

Sorry, Levi.

I'll tell him right... so again...!

――――――――――――――――――――――

"Rich River Mizgals" flows northwest of Greece.

The river width is preferably more than dozens of kilometres in a wide area, and the water depth is proportional to it and has a depth of more than 1,000 meters.

It may be said that it is not an exaggeration to say "sea" rather than "river" at the earliest, but only the difference between freshwater or seawater.

And there was one country at its estuary.

Name is Arkmarin, a water state.

That country, which exists to cross the mouth of the Mizgals, has long been a medium-sized country with deep ties to Greece.

So why is Arkmarine called a water state?

It comes not only from land, but also from the sprawl of towns like those on giant boats above Mizgals, where they live with water.

During this period, Arkmarine has brought all of a number of water cities to the banks of the river, anchored it by giant chains.

This was due to the risk that the water volume in Mizgals would increase at once due to heavy rainfall, which could destroy the town.

Several embankments with narrow river widths near the estuary allow some adjustment of the water quantity, but this year's rainy season was as different as usual.

"Yes, Captain! The embankment stays like this...!

"I know! Free all water gates! When the embankment is destroyed, there will be no ex or child! Hurry!"

"Ha, ha!

"Chi... too much water! He said it hasn't been a few minutes since he started coming down yet......!

From the unit leader column that manages the embankment leaks weak sounds that would normally never be spoken of.

That was impossible, and this Mizgals water increase was unparalleled with his long experience.

Mixed with a fierce pounding rain sound, an unpleasant noise rang from all over the embankment.

In addition to the fact that the sound was so loud that it was not comparable to the usual year, water was pushing from the surface of the water to the top of a certain embankment several dozen meters.

"... something is wrong with this rainy season. Sure, there's a lot of rain, but that's not all this is going to happen......!

Though the river was narrow, a few kilometres were above a huge embankment, with hundreds of soldiers rushing around.

What needs to be prevented more than anything now is that this embankment will be decimated.

Even releasing all water gates can weaken the water momentum to some extent by the presence of the embankment itself.

However, assuming that the embankment is destroyed, the water you are clamping will push over at once and the town at both ends of the estuary will suffer enormous damage.

Plus, things don't just stay that way.

Now the embankment is going to break down, because it's going to help the dragons invade.

"It's not weird when they come...!

Usually, towns on the water are brought to the banks of the river, making it easy for the Dragons to enter Mizgals from the sea, and their surveillance capabilities have fallen significantly compared to normal times.

Furthermore, the heavy rains make it difficult to grasp the sight and sound, as well as the expression on the surface of the water that the Dragons would know if they moved.

Column thought it would be almost impossible to detect the movements of the Dragon Clan if we then decimated it to the embankment.

The news reaches me as if to mock the columns who were struggling to stop that worst.

"Captain! So, the fourth embankment... has been destroyed!

"Gu......!

"A large number of missing persons... said the second embankment was also the limit...!

"There is communication from the third embankment... partial breakdown...!

The column is currently located on the first embankment, closest to the estuary.

Two of the four embankments built in total had already been decimated, and the remaining embankments were also more likely to be decimated in chain.

Of course, it's not like I've never broken it before.

However, in this short period of time, it has never occurred to me that multiple locations have been destroyed at the same time.

"Hey what's going on... this storm isn't the only one... this is something else...!

"Captain, no! The amount of water... is already at its limit!

"Shit! This is the only place we're gonna defend ourselves at any rate! All right! Our hands depend on the fate of Arkmarine… and hence Greece! You're not allowed to pull!

Even with the power of magic before the mighty power of nature, it cannot be easily resisted.

And things were beginning to turn in a more serious direction.
