"... Inside, are you awake? Are you a ref?

When I spoke to the first door, someone who seemed lucky to be awake approached me.

As I glanced through the gap to get my meal in and out, my dirty Combat suit and military uniform trousers approached me.

"What about you?

"I'm an adventurer who worked in the ref demon guidance empire. And you?"

"I'm the chief of the Imperial Air Force's 4th Flight Force."

From the beginning, I've been twisted with people with a class.

"I'm one of those people who got sucked into the sky, but I've managed to survive and I'm looking for other survivors."

"Where am I?

"... it's another separate world, the so-called 'back world'"

"What's that?"

"Unfortunately, I don't have the time to explain. Can you tell me what your situation is?

"... you think you have the power to save us?

"Possibilities can be presented"

"Okay."

I guess this chief is a mindless man, he made a decision right away and talked to me.

Thirteen survivors, 45 dead —— that figure matches the number of bodies I've seen.

The airship was working fine, but it was riddled with a goat huge enough to rush through heaven and let it crash.

It's a forest eater.

Later, the impact of the crash killed many refs and apparently surrounded them by underground people where they were survivors and hit by rescue work.

"... they said they would relentlessly attack if they resisted. We had a lot of Magic Gear, and we could have fought hard enough... but the deputy captain said he was going to give up his life."

"Deputy captain?

"The captain died in the crash. And the deputy captain was in command... but this is a bad idiot who enlisted just Conne."

"Oh......"

Since the ref demon guidance empire is a small country, I guess it is often the case that Cone enlisted that his father is a great man or something......

"But the enemy also clearly had a strong man. Therefore, if we had fought, the dead would have come out..."

"Are you a strong man?"

"The problem is that the powerful man has been crossed by a demonic weapon. You can't escape if he finds you."

"... what are the characteristics of that person?

"It's a young woman with purple hair tied behind her back. I took a long cigarette like a pixel, but my eyes died. Those are paralyzed eyes that killed too many people."

"Okay. I'll be careful. So, there's everybody here?

"There's probably all 12 of them"

"Twelve? Earlier there were 13 survivors..."

"... the vice captain begged for his life first and sold his charm to his enemies. I'm not in solitary confinement right now, and I'm getting into enemies."

…………

Too much, I can hear the toothpick. I'm so angry. I know exactly how that feels...

"Gentlemen, are you okay with the treatment? It's hard to get out right now, so I'd better get ready and tomorrow if possible...... I think if it looks tight we should do it by the end of the day"

"Rice tastes bad, but it's Myka mushrooms, so I can stand it"

"... is that right"

Is it like "I forgive the rice because it tastes bad, but it's white rice" to me?

I think back to the traces I've made. [M]

Destroyed the key to the entrance to the police force. Destroyed the hangings on the roof of this building.

The former would make you think it was lost if you renovated the key and hid it somewhere. I haven't left any other traces.

The latter can be managed if it feels finely worked and deteriorated over time.

I'll be back tomorrow night.

"Oh...... if you can find the deputy captain, will you beat him up? No, if I find him, I'll do it with this hand."

No, because if you do that, I'll find out.

That's when my nose sniffed off the smell of cigarettes.

Katsun, Katsun, and footsteps up the stairs can be heard.

"... go"

Did the chief also hear footsteps, that's what I said.

"Yes."

I go back to the stairs with [sickness] to kill my footsteps. [M] As soon as we get up there, it's on the rooftop -- but the demon gave it to us. I wanted to see who was coming up.

If there is a "strong man" called by the chief, there is no harm in watching it in [Mori Luo Wang].

Lurk your breath on the dance floor.

There is no light here, so my body is completely assimilated to darkness. It's suspiciously dark whether or not you can see it even with [Night's Eye].

Footsteps approach.

On the stairs leading down, the po and the lights were given.

The light maintains a constant luminosity —— a magic guide lamp.

Footsteps approach.

Liquid purple smoke appears.

Then —— a grounder in a hood appeared on the stairs, and a long xel stretched out whether it was on his mouth.

…………

I stopped.

Jiji...... and the fire of the xel glows red, then the air is thrown up without sound. Looks like he threw up through his nose.

Did you stop for a piece of clothing...?

The underground man goes up the two remaining steps to the hallway lined with cells.

Suddenly I looked back at this one.

…………

It was dangerous.

Be alert, I almost stretched my neck to see your face.

I pulled my neck in as fast as I could. [M] I think it was faster than a turtle trying to protect itself.

Silence descends.

Cigarette smell reaches my nose. [M]

(This is...)

Then I heard the footsteps go away. Apparently, he went into the aisle.

Should we see what went to a cell on a night like this for a purpose?

(Answer is no)

No way, I don't think I'm gonna kill him. I was lurking around just in case, but it was something quiet, just like walking down the hallway —— the move was like that of a sleepwalker.

I snuck back to the roof and let the hanging squeak before I went outside.

I think I figured out why the chief said that the underground man was a "strong man".

You must have been given some kind of gifted pearl. The underground man who's been sniping at me also used magic, and unlike the Dragon City, I'm pretty sure there are quite a few gifted pearls here.

Among them, the Underground now... is probably what the Chief said "the mighty," she has a gifted pearl with a high number of stars.

Five, maybe six, something special.

(That cigarette smells......)

According to [Mori Luo Wan], that cigarette —— has an intense analgesic effect.

I remembered the pain and suffering when I used [Shadow King Demon Swordsmanship (Shadowking) ] - I thought it might be a cigarette to relieve it.
