- Then we were rushed to the aftermath of the battle.

The first priority should have been the treatment of injuries.

We have to respond to Falcon, who appears abruptly and has lost his mind without telling us the circumstances, but things have a priority.

The main injured are four knights: Garnett and the Golden Tooth Knights.

Faces that were badly wounded scattered in the blade of water that Austri poured down countless times.

Both physical damage and equipment damage can be fixed immediately with my [repair], but there is nothing I can do about the bloodshed that has diffused the square into the flooded groundwater.

Rapid [repair] was also essential to prevent loss of combat power due to heavy bleeding.

"... All right, now you're all here"

The next step in the treatment was to move to a place that was safe… at least not immediately found.

If you were sitting in a square engaged with Austri, you would be discovered by soldiers of the Demon King's Army who would come to check the situation.

In the unlikely event that happens, you must be forced into a harsh streak of warfare before the fatigue of the death battle with Austri comes out.

So it was one of those deserted houses that was massively present in the underground settlement that was chosen as a temporary lurking place.

It is a choice behind the natural idea that we should soon leave the scene, even if the desire to escape using groundwaterways has been exhausted.

The originator was the commanding lady knight on the golden fang side, and apparently she was first and foremost thinking about rendezvous with the nagi that infiltrated Demon King Castle.

Anyway, we carried an unconscious Falcon into one of the houses, where we were supposed to look at the situation for the moment.

"Falcon's detention, I've put an end to it. I've made it tough on the bees."

"... spellworthy, but also... full..."

"Sorry, that helps"

Alexia and Noir report the completion of the work.

He had asked the two of them to keep the fainted Falcon in custody.

If Alexia, a mechanical engineer, were to impose a restraint from the physical side, and the noir of the black wizard from the magical side, the servant Falcon would not easily escape either.

The personal remorse between him and me hasn't disappeared, but it's definitely a valuable source of information about the Demon King's Army.

A series of events that begin with the brave party not returning - in front of the Silver Wings Knights, whose task it is to uncover the truth, Falcon just wants to take him home as alive as possible.

It is also true, however, that you cannot be trusted enough to allow your company to accompany you indefensibly.

So first, after restraining him, he waited to regain consciousness, and decided whether to let him accompany him as a single person, or "carry" him with so much damage that resistance would become impossible.

"... when you actually see it, you're a little disoriented by the boulders. And what do you say, you remind me of Julia earlier..."

Alexia, clouding her words over and over again, shared her thoughts on the brave Falcon, who had been rebuilt by the Dragon Man.

For her, Falcon is a native of her hometown and a lover of childhood friendly Julia.

I guess I couldn't help but be shocked again before the reality that such an opponent had accomplished outside.

"............... really, that's what happened..."

But what was more shocking than Alexia was more of a noir.

It is white from the beginning, but the complexion is even worse, making me anxious to watch it.

Noir was once part of the Brave Falcon party.

I wouldn't have seemed to have had much of a private relationship, but I'd say it's an extraordinarily close pattern compared to Alexia, who's only about a friend of a friend.

And above all, Noir has a history of being a captive of the Demon King's Army, just like Falcon and Julia, who were transformed into dragon men, and successfully escaped where they were in danger.

If you try her, the Falcon is what she might have been.

"In the meantime, you both need to get some rest. If anything happens, I'll call you back."

I can't push any more work on a stranded noir.

That's how I dropped them off, and as if I had anticipated this timing, the commanding lady knight on the golden fang side talked to me.

"Long time no see, Lord Luke. Though I said that, you never talked to me directly."

"You've faced each other several times when doing the job requested by Golden Fang. Uh, your name is certain..."

"My name is Hazel. This is the first time I've told you my name."

She is a fine adult woman, not much different from Noir at her age.

I'm not a girl knight like Garnett...... or I guess that guy is a special case in many ways.

"Our mission was Lord Luke's escape aid, but this is how the Demons did it. I'm only unhappy that my team and the White Wolf shoppers are safe."

From Captain Hazel's mouthfeel, it seems that those eight were all sent into the underground waterway.

I find that there were no deaths due to the huge increase in water caused by Austri, and I relieve myself in the heart.

"Just now, let me start by talking about future policies"

"About alternative escape routes, right? Are you still looking to rendezvous with the adventurer's nagi?

"Yes, if we do not return to the ground, we are expected to receive another rescue request from ground forces to the Nagi."

I see. Naturally, but the Golden Tooth Knights and Nagi seem to have elaborate links.

"Right, because we don't want to walk around the Castle of the Demon King in vain either. I'm in favor of rendezvous with someone familiar with the structure of Demon King's Castle. But how?

"We have demon props ready in advance"

Captain Hazel pointed to the amulet (charm) on the waist of the armor.

"The mechanism is simple. Nagi had something to pair with this, and when the two approaches, they start to react slightly."

"Do you expect me to rely on you to find it? If so, maybe you shouldn't move poorly."

Nagi knows we're trying to escape the underground waterway in the settlement, and Captain Hazel and the others are coming to pick us up.

If we knew this operation had failed, we would undoubtedly come first to check on the situation in the neighbourhood.

Captain Hazel made sure I gave him my consent and then outlined his future policy briefly.

"Let's say, then, that for the time being, lurking here to rendezvous is our number one priority, and in case we leave quickly. By the way... I don't see the boy in the escort..."

"Garnett is looking for something to warm up around here. It was totally wet."

"Oh my goodness. Then use this one"

Captain Hazel took what was wrapped in a waterproof cloth out of his luggage.

"It's a spelling scroll for heating. I think it will help you dry your clothes."

"Thank you. Then I'll give it to him. If you catch a cold, you'll be in trouble."
