Rice for Enoch’s Second Expeditionary Unit

"Ugh...!

When I woke up, I slept on a hard stone floor.

When I opened my lid, what I could see around me was a white world with white floors on white walls and white ceilings.

It is somehow as bright as day, even though there are no lights or windows for the sun to plug in. I'm sure there's massive magic on it.

This place looks like a long corridor beyond sight. On the wall, ancient letters are carved. It says something about the history of the demonic wars that took place in ancient times.

Apparently, a place like a temple.

How the hell did I get flown to this place?

And I realized there were no signs of people around here.

"Sister?

I don't see my sister Mel. Neither the bandit captain, nor the manly deputy captain Berleigh, nor the moffy gal, nor the wondrous Vulgas, nor the unfortunately beautiful Lieselotte, nor the snow-country beautiful brother Zara.

Then, to Sura the Artificial Spirit, Amelia the Phantom Beast, Stella, there was also no appearance of the Fairy Clan album or Nix.

Guys, where the hell have you been?

Luckily, I feel like there's no sign of a demon.

There seems to be no sign of the magic that drove me here. If there's an exit somewhere we can escape, we have to look.

I'm not just an elf, though I'm afraid to go on my own.

Knights Enoch's knight.

I wish I could do the investigation I was ordered to do.

◇ ◇ ◇

Walking or not, the hallway continued endlessly. The wall depicts people who have lost their magic from the history of witchcraft warfare.

A demonic war is a great war in ancient times.

In those days, incredible magic seemed to be used as a matter of course nowadays.

For example, activating great magic to mediate a person's blood, killing a person with a curse, sucking blood to gain magic, etc.

The wizards conquered the times, and those who were not wizards seemed to be in a slave-like position.

However, when it came to numbers, there were more people who could not use magic than wizards.

For this reason, those who were not wizards consigned, and insisted that magic was wicked.

A bad wizard would have no choice because he was being treated badly.

Those who are not wizards drive out wizards by force.

And I went around burning magic books and magic props.

As they kill the wizard, those who are not wizards go mad.

I guess I can no longer tell between a good wizard and a bad wizard.

In an instant, the wizard disappeared. They've all been killed.

Since the Magic War, those who have relied on magic until then have lost their magic and cut civilization open on their own.

Such a turning point in history came. The Demon King reigned in the world.

The Demon King can only be defeated by magic. For this reason, it seems to have revived the magic that was supposedly forbidden.

Then, the wizard lineage revives the magic one by one.

And ─ although few wizards live in the modern age, they are not persecuted as they used to be.

Rather, he said, as the blood muscle of those who defeated the Demon King, he tends to be respected.

People's awareness of magic has shifted in the right direction.

"In our country, in order to protect the magic, we decided to seal this ruin with a stone slab spelled out with magic books, magic props and history. And I'm letting the Great Spirit keep an eye on me so the magic doesn't spread any more than it needs to. Well, I had a history like that."

"Ranari."

"Ghaaaa!!!!

I got a sudden reply from behind, so I jumped up and was surprised.

Although it was the voice of a sinister man, he looked back and was ahead of him - a mouse about two metres long. The hairs are black. Standing on two legs, looking down at me from too close a distance.

"Oh, you, too, possibly, the Great Spirit who protects this place?

'That's right. That's the Kamiko candidate. Talk fast. "

"Mi, what candidate is Kamiko!?

'I mean those whose job it is to protect this ruin and watch over people's lives. And I do my talking to people often. "

"Yeah ~!?"

What is this about? I have no idea.

"Um, who else?

'It's out of the way, so I flew it to the other layers. If you're lucky, you'll be alive'

"Oh, no!"

I get sad, my tears run out.

"How can you do such a terrible thing?

"Terrible?"

"That's right. It's with the wizards of ancient times to treat life crudely ~"

'Hey, don't come with me!

"Wow! Your sister is dead!"

"Don't cry! He's not dead. He's not dead yet!

"Ho, really?

"True."

The big rat moved his hand somehow and looked like he was spinning magic.

Then a great magic formation occurs.

The circle is surrounded by light and the figures float.

I could see the silhouette in my ear, but the position was too high.

"Sister... Hmm?

"Mill!!

It's my sister! My sister showed up with metastatic magic. but not just my sister.

My sister was in a state of crossing something.

"Oh, thank you."

It's a big white ant. It spans a large ant, about two metres long.

I guess being able to talk means being a spirit or a fairy.

When he looked at me with his crushed eyes, he came to see me. Quite a lovely ant.

"Mill, good!

While the ants are distracting me, my sister hugs me. After a good look, there was Album and Sla. There is also the nix in the fairy bag.

"Sister, you were safe!

"Yeah, I was at Alita's, having tea and sweets"

"Sounds like everything's going to be fine."

He didn't seem to have had a hard time, and he was horrified.

Then everyone else comes too. He looked tired, unlike his sister, although he seemed safe.

Rarely, the captain was at ease. If you listen to me, you're tired of playing with children.

Amelia and Stella seemed to be with the captain, worried.

Somehow, it looks like something like a bond was formed between the three of us.

Urgas, you and Mr. Gull said your hands hurt. Oh, my God, they lost their weapons and were fighting with their fists. When I put healing magic on you, I was happy that it was easier.

Lieutenant Berley and Lieselotte said they saw their disgusting uncle. I'm sorry.

Zara, your brother was pale.

"Um, are you okay? Though I'd use healing magic if I needed it?

"Thank you, Mill. I'm fine because I'm mentally tired."

"Oh, my God."

I'm sure you must have been in a lot of trouble.

Everyone has decided to listen from the Mouse Spirit when they are all here.

"Um, this is how you've been inviting the Divine Son?

"No, it's your first time."

"How did you choose me?

If it's just the amount of magic, my sister wins better.

Why was I chosen when the heart of mercy, the goodness of character, and the appearance are also better for my sister?

"It's because... you found this ruin."

"Huh?"

I mean, I missed you.

……

You mean you put everyone at risk for that?

I kind of feel disappointed and weak.

"I'm sorry. I can't be a godson"

"Oh, well."

Even though he's a great spirit, he's surprisingly weak. Lightly, I pull back.

I'm sure, as I spent a long time here, I may have felt lonely.

It seemed kind of pathetic to me when I saw him soggy.

"Then we'll be friends."

"And, my friend?

"Yes. On a day off or something, 'cause I'm coming to see you."

When I said that and offered my hand, the Mouse Spirit shook my hand back.

Thus, we return to the earth.

In the meantime, I decide I didn't see anything inside the ruins.

All the history that was written is passed on to people, because I didn't think I needed to bother to report it.

The magic and magic artifacts in the ruins will not be necessary in the lives of people today.

People and magic live at a moderate distance. So there's no need for change.

The captain also agreed that we should leave this place alone.

The ruins themselves also seem to hold a strong bond so that they will never come out in public again.

"That solves it!

My sister across Alita the Ant Fairy says that.

"Sister, is that, Alita taking you home with her?

"Alita wanted to introduce you to Master Ciel."

They're going to introduce me to a big hero because it seems kind of fitting.

You think Alita wants to stop working on the ruins and learn about the outside world?

More and more, I felt my sister's surroundings turn into chaos.

"All right, let's go home"

"Right."

Like this, the relic problem is solved (?).
