"No one can see this."

"Besides, it's very quiet. The sound is blocked, too.

It was Refia and Mira.

……

……

Lenny and Nina smiled silently.

The river is dyed gray with no waves standing on its surface like cloudy glass.

It's not just the river. The sky and the mountains, everything around them is covered by a grey mist, and they disappear into the depths of it.

No sounds were heard from the surroundings, and no sign of anything could be felt.

He reaches out and tries to touch the fog.

The fingertips are strangely refreshing and don't feel uncomfortable moisture.

"Wonderful magic, isn't it?" It can be called a kind of barrier anyway. "

Liffia stretched her arms forward to touch the fog and exclaimed with admiration.

"It's close to the barrier of confusion." There's no sign of anything. "

"This is a very difficult water magic." It's not just the fog around you. "

So, Ishuru-san, let me tell you something when you're ready.

Mira sitting in front turned around and said with her usual elegant smile.

Yeah.

Ishur's face slightly tightened and he nodded.

Suddenly, I felt another gaze and looked back, and I saw Nokta, a maid with a refia standing in the stern.

The only thing that actually moved the boat was Ishur's magic, and although she was mostly just in shape, she took on the bow with a bow. Not only Nocta, but also Mira's Selia and Romir were staring at Ishur. Everyone was watching Ishur.

Only Ishur knows all about the disturbances that took place in Arsal's ranks last night. I didn't remember the pin that was possessed and manipulated by the spirit god.

After that, Ishur was naturally asked by everyone to explain, but after the intervention of the Spirit God, he could not tell everything in front of the people of the Grand Duchy. Pippin and the others did not know as much about the circumstances as they did about the Lord of the House of Ladis and the House of the Kings, nor did they have any close relations.

Honestly, you can't convince the people of the Grand Duchy by just causing them trouble.

Then Ishur paused his speech on the spot, or made up a mixed story of falsehood, and deceived it accordingly.

In the first place, I could not have told others cheaply about what was involved in the reasoning of the gods.

──He was summoned by Adrienne to Pippin's curtain, where he was suddenly captured by a powerful labyrinth barrier. It was Adrienne herself who put up the barrier.

There was no need to lie so far. Because the Spirit God hasn't appeared yet. Ishur told the truth about what had actually happened. After Aprocius had left, it was only natural, and everyone around him became noisy, but Ishur returned to Pipin and immediately asked Adrienne if she had ordered him to affix the barrier on the spot.

Pipin fought against Ishur's sword curtain, but he clearly denied that "I would not give such an order."

So Ishur took Adrienne, who was desperate instead of Federica, and said to Olvert, who was crying.

If the Grand Duke hadn't ordered it, she'd have used the labyrinth barrier against me.

Albert gazed at Ishur with anger at his tear-drenched face.

"That's not true. Adrienne can't be trying to harm you by activating the barrier of her own volition."... there's no reason... "

I don't have a motive, do I?

Ishur looked down at Orbel with a thin smile.

"Then why did you stand in the way of our return until you mobilized such a large army?"

”That's... you...”

"Is it because I'm that dangerous?" So Adrienne summoned me, which means he tried to assassinate me. "

Ishur said with a bigger smile.

"It's definitely our fault for entering the country without permission." But if all of a sudden I was forced into this army. "

Ishur shrugged his shoulders there.

"Besides, I'm from the Kingdom of Ladyship." I have no intention of being hostile to you. "

"So, what is that?" I can't trust anything with the red witch. "

Albert jerked Mira, who was holding back the Grand Duchy's guards, with his chin.

The sounds were overflowing with raw emotions.

Wrath, sadness, still in turmoil.

"Anyway, it won't be easy to find out the truth after the person who used the barrier dies." Even if your lords argue here, they don't understand. It is up to us to put an end to this turmoil now. If we can cross the Derave, that's fine. Hey, Ishuru. "

I saw Liffia, broke it, and came in.

“Yes, of course. It's not like we have any problems at all, and if we're going to let you go to the East Coast, we won't be dissatisfied.”

Ishur smiled softly at Li Fia and nodded one by one.

It was as if a script had been prepared from the beginning, and it was a cross between breaths.

“It's your problem why she did this. I don't know anything about it."

When Ishur cleared his smile, he turned to the pin and said:

"Ah, ahh... okay, let's do that." I'll leave everything as it is. I'm not looking for anything. "

Pippin nervously shook his head again and again, wandering his gaze and shaking his torso.

……

Albert looked down at the pin for a moment and shook his shoulder regretfully.

Fresh blood was still dripping from Adrienne's body and the ground was dyed black. I could see it clearly in the night vision.

That night, Olvert was of no use, and the other near samurai of Pipin rushed round the area and out of the commotion, and Ishur returned to his former quarters. In front of the tent, the guard of the Grand Duke also stood guard, but Federica, the great spirit of the wind summoned by Ishur, clearly appeared in the air and continued to press around all night.

Ishur stopped calling the earth spirits because he thought they were unnecessary, and did not explain in detail to Mira or Rifia, "I don't know where my ears are, let's leave the Grand Duke's side and talk when they are safe." Of course, the Spirit God appeared with the help of Pippin's body, and he escaped the labyrinth barrier by Adrienne, but he didn't even talk about it in the first place. Then I dived into the bed to escape from everyone and quickly fell asleep.

By not touching each other's verses last night, the subsequent meeting with Pippin, and the rush, disappeared. The next morning, Ishur and his party were able to leave their ranks with a simple greeting. From there, we headed straight for the hidden fort when we crossed the river.

The area around the fort was still covered in water by the magic of Ishur and Elrina, but a narrow bridge connected the logs was built so that they could communicate with the outside world.

Ishur, alone, crossed the log and met Thibault, the head of the concealed fort, and arranged for a river boat of about ten people to cross the Direve River.

When Thibault told us that he still had the gems he had previously given him, or that he had met Pipin in Arsal's armies, he was happy to arrange for the Kawabo.

The riverboat of the hidden fort was hidden in a place like a cove in the back of a wetland spreading from the Dylave River. When Ishur got into the boat, he gave a gold coin of the kingdom of Ladis as a reward to Thibault, who came to guide him.

Thibault did not hide his smile this time, but waved to Ishur and said goodbye.

After leaving the wetlands and going out to the Derave River, Ishur activated a new barrier that fused not only the magic of water, but also the magic of the five elements, and covered the surrounding area with fog, almost completely blocking it from the outside world, and began to explain to the Liffirs what happened last night.

──So Adrienne told me to get out of the labyrinth barrier before Pippin arrived.

Oh, no matter what kind of barrier Ishur can immediately break without any hardship, right?

As Ishur spoke to Adrienne's trapdoor in front of the Grand Duke Pippin's curtain, Mira couldn't help but sandwich her mouth. Like I said, he looks really strange.

Hmmm, that Miyazai is the Spirit God's barrier, right?

Meanwhile, Liffia put her hand on her chin and said in a low voice.

"Oh, it's easy to break with strength, but I'm sure Adrienne came up with the name of Spirit God.──"

Ishur thought that the Grand Duchy's laid formation was as complicated as a maze and had become the source of the labyrinth barrier, and he was afraid that forcible destruction might cause damage to the Grand Duchy's army, and hesitated to exercise his power.

"There is still a reason to see how things are going." When I was trapped in the barrier, a bullheaded phantom appeared that I had never seen before. "

... of course, I won't talk about Minotaur. All of a sudden, no one in this world knows, the fact that the explanation of the Greek mythology of the previous life is not too surprising only confuses everyone. I can't even tell you that I'm a reincarnator with memories of my previous life. Now is not the time to talk about it.

"Huh... that's weird again"

Liffia opened her eyes wide and bowed her head in amazement.

……

"The bull's head..."

"Bullhead Phantom, hey"

Mira and Nina took it seriously. In contrast, Leni turned his gaze away and made a stinky face.

"It was a monster I didn't really see." I was also a little curious.── "

Ah, I remember!

But it was Leni who suddenly blocked Ishur by shouting out loud.

"When I was a kid, my grandfather told me about it."

Leni's grandfather is Bentura Alejandro, a wind and magic landlord widely known on the continent.

"The legend of the Gozu Phantom is in the south of Bermura." I wonder if the monster feared and celebrated by the inhabitants of the mountains beyond? Once a year, in the beginning of spring, I dedicate one of my cows to a raw meal. If you fail to do so, I think that the bullheaded── monster will be angry and bring disaster. "

"Oh, that's..."

Ishur's eyes shined and exclaimed with admiration.

... there was also a Minotaur in this world! No, there was a monster that looked exactly like him. And further south, on the other side of the Mediterranean.

I see, if you're an aboriginal monster or a spirit, then it's definitely the domain of Spirit God Aprosius.

And then, from the side, Lifia.

The Labyrinth Barrier activated by Adrienne was the magic of an anarchic spirit god. I've told everyone about it.

The origin of the barrier magic may also be Bermura.

and followed by Mira.

... hmm, it's still the South. Should I go to the Mediterranean Sea?

Ishur nodded several times with his arms together.

Take care and keep explaining.

"... so if I were to avoid the monster attack and explore the labyrinth junction around me, Federica would stab Adrienne in the chest.──"

Ishuru-san broke out of the barrier by necking the Phantom.

and now Nina.

After the disturbance last night, I told Nina and Romir that they weren't there, but I told them how it happened.

Well, that's what happened when the barrier broke down.

When the barrier disappeared after the Minotaurs were scorched, there were Federica and Adrienne, Orbel and Rifia in between, and Mira, Charca, and Leni in the distance, and the area was noisy.

"That's when the Archduke arrived..."

Nina murmured with a slightly uneasy look.

The rest of the story is misleading, and I haven't talked to anyone yet. The descent of the Spirit God through the flesh of Pippin could not be spoken in the ears of others.

When Pipin appeared and told him that the spirit god Aprosius was possessed,

"Well, that's not true..."

Oh my God! This time, Aprocius appeared.

After the powerful barrier magic of the Spirit God, you will appear in person.

and Mira, Rifia and Leni thoughtfully raised their surprised voices.

Suddenly, Nokta, who was standing at the stern holding a hammer, was shaking his body.

The spirit gods that appear in many traditions are often depicted as scary gods when angered.

So Aprocius told me to wait for Ishur in the middle sea.

Liffia looked directly at Ishur in a serious and terrifying way.

Yeah, yeah.

Ishur nodded his head against Liffia's sword and nodded many times.

I knew it, South.

Lenny put her arms around her chest and nodded several times.

"... but where should I go in the Nakamai Sea?"

After a while, Nina mouths out what everyone was wondering.

That's the problem, isn't it?

"... no, you can go anyway." Then the spirit god will appear again in the castle and temple ruins in some city in the Mid-sea. "

Both Nina and Mira, who expressed doubts, were optimistic, and Liffier's remarks, like those of other personnel, were valid.

"Didn't Aprosius tell you that I would help Ishur in his troubles?"

And Leni put his elbow on the edge of the ship, and put his chin on his palm, and set his gaze afar off.

If that's what Liffia says, then maybe if we go over there, something will happen again, that is, it will move from Aprocius.

Then Leni moved his gaze and stared straight at Ishur.

"Until now, I think Ishur has not only been obstructed by the Moon God, but he has also been guided at the same time." That's why the spirit gods will do the same. "

……

Ishur lowered his face and turned away from Leni.

... she's right. I've been dancing on the palms of the gods ever since the Bersh village was attacked, ever since I got my hands on a wind tool. I've been dancing.

That's why I collected the magic artifact of the gods to get out of it, and I got the power of the gods.

"But if even that was their intention..."

The contact with the Spirit God may also be said to be inevitable in a sense. Sarcasm, cynicism, treachery, and ruin. Aprosius's intervention in this situation is the most appropriate one for me right now.

"However, just go south, go to the Mediterranean Sea." It's too vague and ambiguous, and I can't dispel my anxiety. "

... it's not something I can accept, like leaving everything to them.

"That's right. I think I'd better head south after I get a little more clue.”

Mira was depressed.

"Hmmm..."

Liffia shouted softly with a difficult face.

"... anyway, that's more than what happened last night. Let's all think a little bit more about what we're going to do next.”

Looking towards Lucia and Romile, they nodded firmly.

Well, I don't have a deadline, so let's talk about it when we get to Solaire.

Ishur looked around at everyone and smiled.

Then he stood up slowly, reaching for his right hand from the ship and swinging gently to the side.

The fog that surrounded her faded and disappeared as it swirled around. Bright sunlight shone on the river, several river boats could be seen in the distance, and the city noise was slightly heard from the opposite Solaire.

Federica, who was escorting the party, seemed to be floating thinly over the sky.

Rifia and Mira held their hair by the breeze across the river and narrowed their eyes to see the scenery on the east bank.

……

Ishur turned his face from the castle of Sorel toward the west bank.

There was a grey smoke rising in the moist sky. Perhaps only Ishur could see and feel far away.

It was probably the cremation smoke that burned Adrienne's body. The gentle sky, barely blown by the wind, was thinly smoked, rising high, and eventually flew thinly to the north.

And Ishur suddenly remembered the words of Olver of Miyazai, which he had spat out, when he departed from the formation of Arsal.

It was a word of hatred: "Shinigami", "Shikamori God".

Albert said, "If you hadn't come, the Grand Duke wouldn't have marched. Adrienne didn't die either.", "You're a plague. That's how you've been wreaking havoc around. No, it's not a plague. It's a reaper."

──Even though I was trying to save the Ladyship and destroy the Red Emperor Dragon, I was the one who attracted all those calamities.

Albert was right. It's also true that the Spirit God possessed Pippin and manipulated Adrienne to make contact with me.

"You can't escape this suffering yet. Until then, there will be no salvation for me."

The souls of many people who may have accompanied me, including the lost family and the people of the village of Berush...

Ishur turned away from the barbecue and looked to the east bank. In the citadel of Solaire, the flag of the kingdom of the kingdom was flying, and the flag of Grand Duke Solaire and Ruflaide were flying.
