Munou To Yobareta Ore, Yottsu No Chikara Wo Eru
Episode 406: Encounters
"Guuuuuuuuu..."
Shizuku overflowing from the girl flying over.
It is lit by the lights emanating from the town that spreads beneath its eyes, sparkling and scattered backwards.
To be honest, she didn't understand everything about the story.
But I only understand that my own parents may be in the basement of Sumerian Castle... and thereby her mind aggregates into one thought.
"I want to see you".
I had no other thoughts about her now, I was just thinking about it and headed to my destination.
"Ha... ha... here we are..."
That's how Sumerian Castle arrived, because it looked down from the top differently than usual, or because I heard the conversation earlier, and it was... darker and even tougher in her eyes.
"Ah..."
Come here, she begins to understand the current situation step by step.
He said he was trying to do something terrible right now.
"... don't find out... behind..."
But with that degree of fear, Sophia was in a position where she couldn't stop anymore.
She avoids the watchful main entrance and begins to look for a place where she is likely to go inside without finding it.
My own safety and so on. Second.
Her feelings for her parents are greater than anything else.
"Underground...... gotta get down anyway......"
Perform every action with your mouth open.
This is a manifestation of extreme anxiety.
If I hadn't, my thoughts and body would have stopped moving.
I dare you to put it into words and tell myself.
"... that?
She doubted her own eyes as she moved counter-clockwise over the castle from the main gate.
Because there were so many soldiers lying on the ground.
"Ko, this... no way..."
She arrived at the Brightshaft Mansion and began eavesdropping on the stories of the Blance and the others when Bahamut started talking about "our role…".
So she naturally doesn't know when, how, or what they're going to do.
"So Mr. Lord..."
Sophia realizes for the first time then that "today is the day" and never begins to descend.
That's how she stepped down to the ground, moving to sew through the gap between the soldiers who fainted, entering from the door that was left open to the inside of the castle.
Even after going inside, the soldiers are still falling to fold, and she slowly moves forward with her breath lurking.
"Huh!... this too... all of it?
The entrance to the first floor of the castle, which proceeded without a trace and eventually arrived.
From the closed huge gate to the central staircase, many soldiers had fallen, just like earlier, and there was nothing but her to make a sound.
In no more silence, she pulls out her sword to shake off her fears, putting the shield she was carrying on her left hand.
"The entrance... is a hard place to find..."
"My own parents suddenly disappeared".
"I didn't even commit any crime".
"I mean, for some reason, the Sumerian government must have forced me to take him away".
"If so, the basement is a hidden space and the entrance is in such a place that it is not easily found".
From the statements we heard at Brightshaft Mansion and from our previous history, Sophia concluded so.
"A narrow place... this way..."
Breaking through the entrance, she steps into the aisle on the other side.
Then, taking a careful peek at some of the rooms that were on the road, he proceeded to the narrower and narrower one relying solely on the survey.
Regardless, she has no idea about the internal structure of the castle, etc.
On the contrary, it is even the first time that it has entered the castle.
Hence...
"... alas?
She's really just a coincidence...... she's just walked the right path.
"Huh!?
To that voice heard from behind, Sophia fled reflexively.
"Ah! Here!
"Ahhh!?
But in an instant, "he" catches me up and grabs me by the root of it.
Furthermore, the sword of her right hand, which she swung up, was cast down, and she was lifted straight into the air.
"You... who?
"Ha, let go...!
One of the seven shadows, Sophia, was trying to escape from Dundee's hand, but his hand was not even vicious.
The difference in strength was obvious.
"Ku......!
Still, however, she reaches out aggressively and gives orders against the sword that has been plunged.
At the next moment, the sword rose alone and flew towards his feet.
But...
"Huh!
"Ah!?
Lightly and ruthlessly, the sword was stomped by Dundee and lay low on the ground again.
"Ugh...!
"It's no use. There's no way you're gonna hit me like that. What... is Titanomachia to this extent?
"Huh!? Chi, no... I haha...!
"What... hey, what the hell is that?
Noticed the noise, a long-haired man with black hair shows his face from the room that was in front of Sofia.
Moments later, she skewed her face into despair.
The man also realized that he was certainly stronger than himself.
"I was wary just in case. Aren't you one of the Titanomachias?
"So no... Bo, I'm looking for your father and your mother...!
"Oh?"
"Huh!?
Person who emerged from behind a long-haired man.
That, too, Sophia knows well...... no, if he is the one who lives in Sumeria, he was a strange person if everyone didn't know.
"Your Majesty...... please step back. Apparently it's the lower end, but it could also have some sort of concealed ball"
"Gunnar, if you and Dundee are here, you'll be fine. Better than that... Hmph... I don't think that kid is Titanomachia, do you recognize them both?
"Huh?... ah"
"Hmm? Oh, no, this kid... not the kid who was in the fight!?
"... ugh!
"That's right... definitely below A-rank... dude! Why are you here? Are you one of the intruders, too!? Answer me!"
"What do you think!?
"Bo, I...!
"Well, calm down, both of you. I'll talk to her... after I go underground."
"Huh..."
Sophia's spine froze on the word "underground" out of the king's mouth.
It was already connected in her, Sumerian and her parents missing.
The answer has now been given.
"Your Majesty...... ugh!? Who is that?
Linaria, who had preceded her, also appeared on the spot when she noticed the noise.
"Oh, Linaria, you. Is that what you call a lost kitten? I don't know your connection to the intruder, but I'd like you to accompany me for now."
"Or maybe... but why is she here... Your Majesty, hurry anyway. It seems that there is no longer a safer place on earth than with such a person here. Let's come."
"Yes, sir."
At the same time as the impatience, Linaria was beginning to question her own reasoning...... that is, Titanomachia's involvement.
Assuming Sophia is one of the intruders, the line where the intruder is Titanomachia becomes quite thin.
Because her background in entering the final tournament at the Martial Arts Games has already been examined in detail, and Linaria knew that she was, of course, a raw Sumerian, even leaving this country, only when she received her magic in Celtic.
It is therefore almost impossible to say that Sofia is part of Titanomachia.
Regardless, I can't deny all the connections in the back, but her presence was too much material to doubt it.
"Well, let's just get down. Oh, Dandy, don't be alarmed, okay? Because she can do it for you."
"Yes, Your Majesty... I'll take care of it. Let's tie him up. Gunnar."
"Oh, keep it up"
"Ugh...!
Sophia, with her hands and legs tied up, was placed on Dundee's shoulder and entered the dim hidden passage leading to the basement with King Robert and his men.
Just around the same time, Lord and Levy rendezvous.
He had also completed the powerlessness of the upper castle by the Byrnes.
Brance and his team began moving to the ground floor, and all the actors were... starting to gather in the basement where the showdown would take place.
