- Around that time Sakura and Ezel were running through the corridor and Hild was running for the Grand Capitol.

Large-scale extinguishing activities were taking place in a balcony-shaped open-air hall protruding from the outer perimeter of the great tree.

The fire is further up the trunk than the open-air hall.

It burns up in a fire as if the night had not come only there, and even now it is about to burn to the vast branches of the great tree.

"How awful...... you didn't realize it until it was so...!

Edward, called and gathered as an extinguishing officer, looked up at the flames burning above the open-air hall and leaked his voice bitterly.

It was as if the hotline of a stray bullet released from the surface had landed, but it was disastrous that it was a difficult position to see from the inside, and it was burning unknowingly.

"Put out the fire anyway! This and... this is him!

I don't know if I can handle it, but I have to do everything I can.

Spread the spelling scroll one roll at a time with your left and right hands, and let the mainstream gush up and bathe.

The other demons try to contain the fire by each means, but before the awesome flames, it was water in literal burning stones, and they were not seen to be effective at all.

"Damn......! Yes, you can't use that! It's magic that can get the water column out of the lake and bathe it!

The nearby demon clan, called upon by Edward, shook his head sideways with sincere regret.

"I can't, I can't reach this far! At this height near the center of the island......!

With its cathedral, this great tree is the largest on the island, and the open-air hall where Eddie and the others are located is even higher than it is.

It was high enough to overlook almost all the trees (freshly), and it was only natural that the water columns of the Aquatic Demons could not be reached.

"... Huh! So you didn't take any measures against the fire!?

"Is that supposed to happen! Master Fraxinus has already been moved! You can quell the fire by sucking up the lake water with the magic of Master Fraxinus and patrolling the trees from the fire...! We should be able to do this!

"Then why not!

An arrow tip where the exchange approached the contention, a human woman popping black and long hair from the indoors.

"Mr. Noir!

"Ha, ha... hey, somehow, in time..."

With his breath constantly flogged to his exhausting body, Noir rushed up to Edward's side to look up at the fierce fire.

"Well, the fire extinguishing mechanism... functions, does... but... and all over the island, there's a fire... and there's a fire, so... the effect is dispersed, so..."

"... for God's sake..."

Two letters of 'Giving Up' float behind Edward's brain.

Fire extinguishing by the water column does not arrive, fire suppression from the inside of the trees does not keep up with the scale of the fire, and it is as if we are not strong enough.

"You don't have a hitter... No, you can't! I can't believe I can't fulfill the role entrusted to me by my sister!

In an effort to find a way to deal with it at all costs, Edward fished a bag containing demonic props.

A thin hand of noir reaches out from across there and squeezes a bunch of spells.

"Become!?

"... this is all, if any...!

A stream of magic winds up at the beginning of the noir.

When the usual curse swirls around the universe and wonders if it surrounds the fiery fire, the noir's gesture jumps into the flames simultaneously as a signal.

"Explode..."

An even more awesome explosion is triggered inside the fiery fire, and the blast sweeps away the surface layer of the open-air hall.

As Edward and the Demons desperately endured not to be blown away, only Noir, the person who created the explosion, fell and rolled without receiving a wooden floor.

"Ugh..."

"Mr. Noir!

In the corner of Edward's astonishing vision, a flame that was burning so hard by then rapidly loses heat and radiance.

The cheers of the demons full of surprise and joy.

The flame, which was burning just above the open-air hall, had no trace, and the burnt and scorched part of the surface of the great tree had been uprooted, forming a shallow, wide sinking.

"Become...! Ho, the flames really went out...... yes, you blew the fire out with the fast airflow generated by the explosion!

"... and... the water, the cold air, the spell... activate... the elemental magic, the, the user... then... could have done better..."

Did Noir come up with this method as soon as he arrived?

No, maybe from the start, as one of my options, I kept it in my head and it was on fire extinguishing.

Running around without time to rest to the right and to the left, if you were thinking about counteracting a situation that you couldn't handle by ordinary means, you'd be amazed in a different way than you immediately came up with.

Noir looked around with only his upper body up and into the floor, except his forehead with one hand.

"Mi, everyone else, go somewhere else... I... rest a little... tired..."

"Okay. But I'll stay, and I'll have him hang out with someone who looks like he can fight. If anything happens, I can't face my sister or Lord Luke."

"Well... yes, but..."

This isn't just a fire scene, it's a battlefield with enemies attacked with killing intent and hostility.

No matter how handsome the wizard was, it's too dangerous to leave an exhausted woman alone.

or, if you pull back a large crowd, it will hinder fire extinguishing activities.

In the end, two beasts, for whom Edward spoke, remained on the spot, keeping their weapons in their hands and their surroundings alert.

"(Noir to the two warriors on the Athlopolis side...... I can cover with magic props too, so I should be able to resist the doll as much as I can)"

Automatic doll combat ability outweighs even the brave Ethel one-on-one, but salt plums can reverse the situation with the addition of the same degree of strength.

These beasts are strong enough not to extend to the brave Ethel, but if Noir and himself were added there, they would be more than equal to the Automatic Dolls as a whole - Edward was estimating his power in this way.

Unexpectedly the cold night breeze blows through and cools the body lit by the heat of the flames.

Edward shuddered at the drop in body temperature, meditating strongly on his eyes to withstand the cold.

- The smell of vivid blood thrust through its nasal cavity.

An animal man who falls, sprinkling blood without a voice.

Another warrior shouts out a spear that instantly cleaves and turns into multiple pieces of wood, cutting his whole body open and bleeding as it moves.

Second-death - Before the literal tragedy, Edward couldn't move a finger.

"(... no... obviously moving differently! It's separate from the other dolls! This guy is special......!

Having watched the battle of the brave Ezel up close, Edward understood precisely the enemy's power, which suddenly appeared.

Speed. Power. Accuracy.

All of them are distinct from the automated dolls we've encountered so far.

Intuitively, Dustin the Demon King Hunt came to mind.

This has reached his realm.

"- Eh!"

The hand holding the dagger waves like a flash.

I can't even see where Edward's aim is with his moving vision.

I understood that the aim of the attack was my own throat whistle, after a shadow like a black belt tangled my dagger and arm at the critical point and painstakingly stopped the blade approaching the carotid artery.

"Let... ru, things, or... Huh!

"Oh, this is a funny coincidence."

Round your eyes with the look of Noir straining urgently.

It was something Edward could not have known, but an automatic doll that defeated two Beastman warriors in an instant and even nearly took Edward's life - it looked like the girl Noir met in a human settlement.

The girl-shaped doll waved her arms at an unnoticed speed to untie the restraint and gently jumped backwards to distance.

"... you, the... who, what...!

"Do I look like an honest person to be asked and answered? Besides, if you die where you answered, you're dead. Just disappear with other memories..."

That's a far-fetched declaration of murder.

While knowing it was a futile scratch, Edward reached into his bag and tried to retrieve the demonic props for the attack.

The next moment - a tremendous wave of magic shook his whole body, slightly delayed and the vibrations and roars of the explosion rocked the entire great tree.

Edward and Noir, as well as even girl-shaped dolls, expose their amazement at the sudden events.

But it was the girl shaped doll, the raider, who first exposed emotions other than surprise.

"Too soon! Too much! What's he doing! Totally enough to this extent...... Huh!

The girl-shaped doll suddenly glanced at him rudely, jumping even louder and moving away from the melee interval.

"Things have changed. I leave this place to you (...) woman (...). You can do that, can't you? If you screw it up, they'll take you back to earth and bring you to justice as a felon... you don't like that, do you?

After calling in a sweet voice in a space where no one is present, the girl-shaped doll runs down the surface layer of the great tree at a rate that is very untraceable.

There is no time to be surprised by the human secluded act of running and moving through tree trunks close to the vertical, and the space where no one was supposed to be swaying like a mirage, where one woman shows up with an interrupted effect of cover-up magic.

It was a woman with two looks: a noir and a melon.

Speaking of differences, my hair is white, long enough to reach my shoulder, and I have a deep scar on the left half of my face - and I'm losing my left arm.

No way, that was... sooner than Edward uttered the word of confirmation, and Noir raised his sad voice.

"Blah!"

"I'm sorry, sister... I, I...!
