Episode 442: Tower and College, Capture

Sensitively perceived me and Augley approaching, and the water cat (Aqua Hattur) saw this one.

Seeing this trick is really catty, but the problem is the behavior that follows.

The magic senses the air that aggregates, and it creates elongated water before the water cat (Aqua Hattur).

Of course, it's not just water.

"Augley!

"Of course, I know!

The two of us yelled at each other about that and flew sideways from the direction that the water was going.

Then,

- Gah, gah, gah!

The ground shredded with the sound, and the trees that existed behind it were further severed vertically from its trunk, and fell with a roar called Bakibaki.

In other words, the elongated water earlier was a giant guillotine blade.

If applied to the magic used by people, it would mean the water blade "Eadle Kusuifos", but with different activation speeds and scales.

Besides, many people spend seconds to dozens of seconds using magic once, but water magic is equivalent to waving hands and feet for a water cat (Aqua Hattur).

In other words, it is possible to make a series from next to next.

A terrible blade of water flies at us.

But avoiding them all, we gradually pack the distance to the water cat (Aqua Hattur).

It's just an animal in question... but that intelligence doesn't predict the direction we're going, and it unleashes magic in a blocked fashion.

Even human wisdom in this would have made him a terrible enemy.

Of course, it's scary enough in its present state, but how powerful magic is, I hope it doesn't hit.

"... All right! We can go!"

I'll be right in front of the water cat (Aqua Hattur) before Augley.

And I reached out as I was.

Of course, because the water cat (Aqua Hattur) consists of water, it's useless to try to grasp it normally.

But even though its body is composed of water, it can retain its shape, because its magic connects its body.

It's the same magic that connects the bones of the Bone Man Skeleton to the bones.

I mean, if you keep that magic from leaking out there, you can grab it... Apparently.

Apparently, that's the kind of reasoning that people used to demonstrate.

Because of this, there is a magic item in the world that can touch indeterminate demons like water cats (Aqua Hattur).

This time, Lorraine made it and borrowed what she had. Me and Augley are putting it in my hand.

It's like a glove.

So if I can manage to catch it, I'll catch it, which was the primary means...

"... Oops! I knew it!

Shit!

And I had the feeling that I grabbed it, but unfortunately, I was able to twist it and get away with it.

He jumped cleverly and began to escape.

There were a few of them, but everything escapes in different directions.

He also passed near Augley, so he managed to get away without reaching for it or even touching his fingertips.

Not that Augley is incompetent, but that's how fast the water cat (Aqua Hattur) is.

He'll be releasing the water blade Eadle Kusuifos while he's on the run, and it's no longer possible to talk to him about catching him while avoiding it.

If you just want to knock it down, there are many ways to range magic and all that, but when I say catch it...

That's why I didn't have anyone to take this request.

Before I take it, I have to work hard.

In the first place, I let both Augley and I get away with it, but this is only a first resort.

There is nothing wrong with fate.

Of the escaped water cats (Aqua Hathur), we set our aim and chased them in a direction that was convenient for us.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"... what are you doing?

Felicie talks to Lorraine that way.

Earlier, Lorraine asked because she was working and didn't know what that meant.

In that place, which is a trail surrounded by rocks, Lorraine painted a magical formation on many of its rocks.

It's a fine text, but it's even artistic to draw it quickly and carefully while its long fingers shine in magical light.

But it didn't seem to have worked yet, and I didn't know what I was doing from the outside.

Felicie's questions are the most important, too.

Lorraine tells Felicie.

"We're making nets to catch water cats (aqua hatur). You can simply use magic to build nets without using magic formations... but when you do that, you'll notice it, and it's fast. I'm not saying we can't match, but we decided to choose the more certain one. The magic team can also condition the water cat (Aqua Hattur) to activate the moment it enters here. I mean, it's okay if I'm asleep with magic."

It is Lorraine's dialogue, which sounds quite utterly remarkable.

There's not a single mistake in what she's saying, but there was something I just didn't say.

It means that if we build and control nets for water cats (Aqua Hattur) while shielding Felicie and protecting her from other sorceries and dangers, we don't want to do it because there is some risk of neglect.

There's nothing I can't do, but if it's easier to prepare, it's Lorraine who chooses you.

The time I waited was shabby, and if I could shatter my worries a little, it would have been worth it to the extent that I wouldn't be bothered to put the effort into it.

"... Well, I guess we'll be fine here. I'm done with magic. Shall we see Lent's doozy a little further away?"

It is a dialogue that would be outraged if they heard it.

But with that said, observing Lorraine and Felicie at a point where they were distant but could see a trapped spot, a water cat (Aqua Hattur) appeared there first, rushing with tremendous momentum, followed by a man with a skeletal mask that rattled a rash and a black robe, and a man wearing peacock patterned clothes that hurt his eyes, in a fierce dash.

The water cat (Aqua Hattur) is not just running, he keeps releasing a blade of water behind his back, a outfit that the two of us keep avoiding.

"Stay! This!"

"Catch me adultly......!

I also raise my voice like that.

It was just a doozy situation.

However, the situation also ended when the water cat (Aqua Hattur) reached the trail where Lorraine had worked earlier.

As soon as the water cat (Aqua Hattur) stepped in, electric lights emanated from several of the magic formations depicted there, forming a cage.

Still, the water cat (Aqua Hattur) tries to escape from it, but when it hits that electric shock, it falls on the spot, wrapped in a burst of light.

It's a sight that makes me wonder if she's dead, but the water cat (Aqua Hattur) doesn't keep its shape when she dies.

If you return naturally, it becomes just water and stains the ground.

That's what it is.

I mean, I can tell that it's alive, but it's fainting.

"You've got it figured out... well, shall we go over there too? Lent and the others can't do anything like that. Without a cage..."

That's what I said. At some point in Lorraine's hand there was an object like a birdcage.

I guess that means a container to keep the water cat (Aqua Hattur) in.

It is obvious that in a normal basket you will escape, and you will soon know that it belongs to a special processing.

The top and bottom of the basket can be seen decorated exterior, like a work of art, but somewhere inside, the net part is made up of the same electric shock that caught the water cat (Aqua Hattur) earlier.

I guess this makes it possible to keep the water cat (Aqua Hattur) out of the way.

In fact, as Lorraine approached the fainted water cat (Aqua Hattur), she grabbed her gloves and threw them into the cage.

At that moment, the water cat (Aqua Hathur) woke up and hit the cage with a chirping noise, but the electric shock ran and gave up and sat down on the spot.

They're not as powerful as the Magic Formation's, but they also seem a little pathetic.

I'm a demon who's been attacking me to death by a blade of water, but it still looks really...

I guess I read Felicie's feelings like that from her face.

While Lorraine grinned bitterly,

"... this water cat (Aqua Hathur) is to be kept by the noble lady of Wangdu for pets. I can embed special magic props around my neck so I can't unleash magic, but I don't see them too badly. Don't worry."

That's what I said, so Felicie was somewhat relieved.
