Scratch apart the crowd, weave flashy robes, and follow the shadow of a strange magician, a man in a strange silk hat.

I'm sure he was around then...

Here, Linde disappeared into the crowd in a hurry.

"This is it...."

He disappeared from here to the school building.

What the hell happened...?

The show is all over, and you could have gone home (Linde would have gone home without watching the parade), but were you looking for something...?

If you had anticipated or perceived this disturbance, you would be the most important witness.

And the bandage on Linde's arm... I knew I was worried about you, but what's under there...

The most likely thing to think about is the Pentagon...

I'm sorry, but Linde has a bias in my head that it's okay to lead a non-magician to do something.

--But on the other hand, it is also true that it has an atmosphere that is not hateful.

I don't want to believe he's plotting something on this school festival.

I shake my head.

Either way, we'll have to meet and check it out in person.

I ran toward the school building for now.

However, the neighborhood is full of ordinary customers.

There's been a little commotion around the corner, but other classes and knights are taking care of it.

"Damn, where are you...!

The knights, teachers, Grimms, and Rangers keep the little disturbances down.

If I don't find out the truth by now... I don't know what's going to happen, but this trick still reminds me of Abyss.

My heart was screaming that I couldn't leave him alone.

◇ ◇ ◇

I returned to the corner of the magic experience without successfully finding Linde.

Yufi!

Yufi looks back at my voice.

"Gil....! What happened to Belle and the others just now....."

"Are you okay?!

I grabbed Yufi's arms tightly.

Suddenly, Yufi's body shrank for a moment.

"It's okay... Ahahah. There's Dorothy."

Then Dorothy appeared with a smooth expression from the back.

"Yes, it's okay because I'm here. Don't leave me!

That said, Dorothy's been pulling Yufi away from me forever.

"Besides, where are the bells?

"I went back for a walk. Tell me you don't have enough men. I'm here, and it's annoying, but there's Loki... so what are you doing back here?

"No, I hope you're okay....."

Well, the bells are back on the lookout.

Sure, the footsteps are sparse around here and there are no knights. The Pentagon have also stepped on the inefficiency of causing commotion around here.

"Yes, have you seen Linde Arroy?

"Linde...?

Yufi looked strange.

"Linde Arroy, don't you know? If you don't really know that I'm from the country... I envy you in a way."

"You're as aggressive as ever... Yufi. Linde is an old man wearing a silk hat with a flashy robe....."

Then, Yufi, um, put his finger on his forehead and raised his roar.

"I didn't see it."

Then, after a while, Yufi slapped his hand.

Oh, I think I saw it.

"Seriously!? Where'd you see that?

Yufi refers to the school building without confidence.

"I'm sure someone like that came from the Fountain Square and... took a light look around here and walked towards the back of the school building..."

"Really!?

Hmm, I wonder. I didn't see it because I was working here.... "

And Dorothy.

"Maybe! It was quite flashy, so I shouldn't be mistaken. If there were others like me, I would have done it...."

"No, no, no, thank you! Thank you, Yufi!

That's what I say, I turn my heel back and run.

"Gil, be careful!!

Yufi waved at me with all his might.

"Nh....! Come back if anything happens!

Then Dorothy shouted.

"Don't worry! I'm in a bit of a mess right now, so be careful!

When I say so, I run for the back of the school building.

There's like a ring in the back of a mock game... because the mock game is dormant because of the daytime noise.

I push the crowd further forward.

People gradually become spotted and become idle.

It seems that there are no Pentagon who have been arguing with knights and students on the lookout everywhere.

In the first place, are all the people on this side moving towards the parade?

I'm sure he's rampaging where people are... thorough.

But I'm glad it wasn't a beast or a sorcerer.

If that was the case, the public must have been involved and suffered considerable damage.

While doing so, we reach the back of the school building.

It is not popular, and the dark shadow is dropping behind the school building, where most of the sun has fallen.

I stepped on a branch that fell on the ground, and there was a clanking noise.

"So, who is it!?

In the darkness, you can hear a surprisingly flipped voice.

The LORD of that voice keeps his distance from me, making a noise like a rag.

"Wait, wait! It's me, Gilford!

"Gil... Ford?

Speak my name with a suspicious voice.

Relax, maybe this is the pentagram's best friend.

Don't be alarmed.

I slowly approach the Lord of Voices, ready to activate magic at any time.

"― Bright"

The moment I slid my hand from left to right, a sphere of light appeared in front of me, lighting up the dark back of the school building.

Illuminated by the light, the strangely dressed man blindfolds his eyes with dazzling glances and runs back in his waist.

"Ma, you're dazzling!! All of a sudden, you!!

Its appearance and its hateful tone are not mistaken.

I finally found it.

"I knew it... Linde Arroy. Let me tell you something."

"You are... my troublesome fan!
