A loud voice echoed from the back of the long, branched stone hallway.

"... heyyyyyy!..."

"... Ooooooooo..."

"... ahhhhhh..."

The voices of the dead can also be heard as the wind blows through the cave, accompanied by a sound that invites fear.

I was certain that there was a battle going on somewhere.

Probably in Catherine's Silver Whip range.At least it's a fight.

But with so many enemies fighting, it's packed anyway.

"Damn, it echoes from either side...."

"Something's wrong with the road, but I turned four times in the same direction and went somewhere else."

Unsure of the situation, Catherine and Wilfred, who were left behind, were on their way to rendezvous for the time being.

But something is wrong.

I felt like I was hearing voices from close proximity, but it seemed like I was walking all the way through different places with similar scenery.

Wait a minute.

Suddenly stopped, Wilfred thought his heart might pop out of his mouth.

Because there shouldn't be anyone calling out in a place like this.

It was a man who seemed to be about 30 different ways.

He doesn't look like a ghost or a monster, let alone a survivor.

That said, he was a man with an atmosphere like a wild scarecrow without any distinctive features.

She is wearing a stereotyped prisoner's clothing with black and white stripes, as her beard and hair are stretched out without being trimmed.And he looked at them with black eyes like darkness.

"If you're looking for a place to fight, you're just wasting precious time.

More than that, there's something you have to do in this gap. "

"... who is it?"

"The longer Ji Man talks, the longer. I don't have time for that."

The man approaches.

I heard footsteps and my feet weren't clear.

"There are three parts to be one.....

This is not good. I can't blame you. "

"What do you mean...."

"Listen, calm down and listen!

The people of the Kenneth Empire are showing unexpected struggles.I'll nail the “Vengeful Rose Princess" for a while!

In the meantime, find 'René'! Help me out! "

The man told Catherine something strange and handed her a note with directions.Catherine receives it under pressure of momentum.

"Whether we help the Kenneth Empire or abandon them, that's all we can do now.

... beware of the knights, they are not ghosts.

It's like the devil of the “Vengeful Rose Princess".If you're trying to help René, you'll get in the way. "

By the time he said that, he was beginning to hear footsteps roaring with chatter and armor.

Rumor has it he wasn't just chased from the beginning.

"Oh no... the knights are coming.

I will attract you. Go to that gap!

And it's almost time for the organ to ring.There's nothing we can do about it, just bear with it! "

Just saying so, the man turned his heel and ran away.

Then turn to the crossroad.

Yita...... giggle!

Let's get him!

A group of knight-armored men chased after him, crossing the crossroads in front of them without Wilfred and Catherine noticing.

And everything went away, and only two of them were left behind.

Less than a minute has passed since I met the mysterious man.

It was like a storm blew through.

"What the hell...?!"

There is nothing more stunned than a boulder.

For a moment, I suspected that I had even seen hallucinations in extreme conditions, but Katherine left a strange note in her hand as evidence that they were not hallucinations.

It is a directional note with only letters written on the path to turn and the door to enter.

"... do you follow this? It might be a trap."

"The status quo is already in a trap.

It won't get any worse. "

Well, sure.

"Besides... I didn't feel like a bad person."

Strangely enough, Wilfred thought he wouldn't have to do this kind of roundabout if he was going to fall into a trap.

I am also worried about Winter Le, but the current situation is that I can't find a place to stay.

And if the mysterious man is right, now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to uncover the core of a strange other world.If we don't find a way out of this world, there's nothing we can do to help.

Wilfred walked like a carrot, killing footsteps with his battle sliding feet and exploring the surrounding signs.

Catherine chose the path according to the note that was pushed, but the building still seemed to have a distorted space, and she should have circled back to the same place, but she hit a different corridor earlier, or there was a corridor long enough to be invisible in the sidewalk.

The sound of the battle between the Imperial soldiers and the demons was still echoed from a place where it was not known whether it was near or far.

"The structure of the building is messy.I can't go any further without knowing the way. "

Wilfred murmured as he walked through the kitchen, where the spider's nest was hanging, where there was no context.

--But if you can trap us like that, why haven't you done it before?Is it a serious risk?

Well, Wilfred was concerned about Winter Le and the events just before the Imperial soldiers disappeared.

Perhaps we diverted them and threw them into the middle as the evil spirits waited, but we should have done so sooner.

That was when I was thinking about it.

"The sound of orgor... from somewhere..."

Catherine murmured and stopped.

"What?"

"This song....

The white light of my country will be eternal. It's the Siel-Teira anthem. "

No matter how clear Wilfred is, he can only hear the sound of battle from afar and the echoing groans of the dead.

That being said, Catherine said that on her first night in the world, how was Orgol?

The second night was in the basement, the third day on the far east side, and she said nothing.

"I can't hear anything like that...."

Ugh!

"Catherine!?"

Suddenly Catherine nodded with her head in her arms.

"... uhh, ahh... stop... what's going on...?"

Well, what's wrong!?

"Sleepy... why..."

Catherine twitches and turns round as she squeals her throat like a crushed scream.

His face was pale and his breathing was severely disturbed.

In this situation, Catherine was about to fall asleep.

The eyelids are heavily lifted and the body loses strength and relaxes.

There is magic in the world that makes the other person sleep, but Wilfred felt it was similar to the reaction when he received it.

Catherine pulls out a knife for outdoor activities that was stuck to her belt with an insensitive hand.

And then...

"Ahhhhhhh!"

Huh!?

She screamed the knife.

I stuck it on the back of my left hand.

Sharply polished (possibly a "sharpened" magic item), the knife penetrates Catherine's hand to produce a blade from the palm of her hand and is reddened by the dripping blood of her hand, which is as white as snow.

Her eyes, which were closing, were opened.

"... haah, haah..."

"Catherine...."

"It's okay... it's okay... but like this..."

She sweats cold as if she were wearing water, saying in a wobbly tone.

"Uuuu...!"

She pulls out the knife as she groans.

Then, the healing potion was removed and the wound worn by the patient was treated.

"Strange... I had a dream.

So I realized a lot..... "

Catherine talks like she's possessed and moved by something.

"Neil Mayridge… seems to have been a part of the upheaval in the former Siel-Taila."

"What?"

"During the coup d 'état by Hilbert II, the Republic of Falaia sent special forces to support Hilbert II, such as those that hit the so-called 'secret'.

Looks like he was in there too.

I remember what he did... and I was beaten up.Perhaps René's own memory..... "

Catherine holds her chest and takes a short breath.

She skilfully avoided telling the specifics of what she saw.

"I'm sure Rene... is using music-mediated magic to propagate that image.

So the evil spirits figured out who the "sinners" were and came to get them..... "

So Catherine finally saw Wilfred as if she finally remembered that there was someone beside her.

Red and ash Odyssey stared at Wilfred in an uncertain gaze.

"... by the way, did Wilfred see anything?"

"No, not at all....

The sound of Orgol, the shards. "

"... the Imperial soldiers have never said anything before.

Maybe this only sounds like a woman..... "

Take a deep breath to consolidate your resolve, and Catherine stood still.

"I'm sorry, I'm fine. Let's go."

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"Even if it wasn't okay, it wouldn't be a situation where we could stop."

"Well, that's right...."

The mysterious man said, "Endure the Orgol." Here's the thing.

Catherine staggered for a moment, but stood up resolutely.

"Wilfred, if you were to help Marge, would you ask him on my behalf what happened?"

Fine, but why would you do that instead?

"I'm not sure I can speak calmly."

Catherine whispers to Wilfred without showing her expression.

Unusual for Catherine, who always seemed to behave in a quiet way, Wilfred seemed to think her words contained the utmost contempt.
