Saikyou Mahoushi no Inton Keikaku

"Something bad is going on, and I may not be able to deal with it when something happens. Then I'm sure Loki won't be back here."

"I think so. But I was wondering if I should get a little more information than I was asked to."

"I'm too preoccupied. That's where I thought Al wouldn't let me go... maybe this time because I'm accompanied by me and Fia, but I guess Al thought the worst mission didn't have to be a success"

That was a reasoning that wouldn't fall from the ground up if it came from a few loki. No, I guess this idea is based on the old Ars. Or maybe it's a casual assumption from Als' mission completion rate. I guess a place called the outside world was switching Loki's thoughts to something else than usual.

- Did Al give us priority over the mission?

Inside Loki felt her chest soaking as she kept her mouth shut.

We should have prioritized the mission initially. Of course, that is only a goal that is required based on considerations that do not harm them.

When considering the possibility of harm, Ars makes the choice to abandon the mission, yes, Alice says.

The possibility that no harm will be done should also include the presence of Loki on the spot.

Think so...... Loki thought of Ars now.

"Convinced."

"Really!? Good."

Loki also leaked a bitter smile at Alice, who was relieved of her heart.

Whatever the truth may be, they may have been glad that Ars looked that way.

"If you ask me, it could have been a bet of one or eight. I'm sure this place feels a little weird after all. Alice's fearless anxiety isn't the only one referring to her current state without Al or Fia."

"Does that mean a demon?

"There's that too. Sometimes there are many demons that you don't see first in Alpha, but I'm also concerned about the slightly higher rates. In addition to that, you have topographical problems. Honestly, the ups and downs are pretty much limited here in Alpha, and as far as the map shows, there are mountains that we've been working on a little further, so we're holding back the march."

In addition to that, the river is passing through one of the causes. The stream in front of you is a tributary and the mainstream should be further down.

"Mr. Alice, let's talk about tomorrow first. Once you leave with the sunrise, aim for the rendezvous point. There should be no [Night Walker] by then, so look for them while you detect them."

"Copy that!"

Loki was telling herself that if it were true, as another means, she would want to find Ars, but if she thought about it as a squad, I'm sure this would be the right decision.

At least it was helpful to be found this resting place in the outside world. It's also unusual to care less about the demon's eyes and be able to stay this long.

"So, Mr. Alice, I'll keep an eye on you here, so rest up"

"What! Fine, Loki rests first."

"No, I train enough to move with a few days of insomnia, and Mr. Alice can be injured… and when I can rest, it's important to rest well"

"Ugh, yeah. Let's take turns."

"Okay. Okay, I'll wake you up in about two hours."

That's how Loki lowers her hips on the wall where she can peek out.

You lay down, Alice put a pouch instead of a pillow and wrapped it in a robe and threw her voice across the fire, "You go to sleep first, Loki," she said.

"Yeah, good night"

Loki also returns at the tip of the shaken fire with a gentle voice. From Alice we could not see exactly Loki's face, but it was a warm voice that guaranteed sleep.

Alice's eyelids slowly descend so that the thread she was strangling would loosen. Wonder and my body tried to build up strength for tomorrow, and I felt like I was losing my strength.

It is certain that this place is a place to avoid for demons. Unless it's a special state, that is, an exciting state, or some kind of crisis situation, the demon won't even come close. Unless it's a release of magic or something that tells us where we are.

Moreover, it is also known to hide the surrounding demons from breath while the demons [Night Walker] walk wide. No one knows why it is, but this phenomenon is so definite that there is no doubt about it.

Right now, this place is safe in the living zone.

If you noticed, the cave was so silent that you couldn't even hear Alice sleeping. No, the sound is gone as if this outer world itself has fallen asleep.

On the contrary, nerves tense when this happens.

Loki holds her knees wrapped around her arms as she sits, her hands crossed from left to right grabbing her arms hard.

This is how it goes all the time. Long after Ars left......

A feeling of mindfulness. The factors vary. The fact that Ars is not coming back, an encounter with a demon that is too puzzling. With that in mind, there is nothing more implausible from the mandate in the first place.

Even Loki has heard about the term [night club]. But it's also about rumours, about urban legendary delusions. There is no way in Alpha that detailed information or anything like that can come in first, and few odd people try to find out what cannot happen within the mandate of their country's jurisdiction.

Rumors like this set the price for what gets tailed. It is also true that the reality is often cleaned up by a good story.

But as Alice had felt a fragment of what Loki was feeling right now, Loki was restless somewhere now. Sometimes revealing a night in the outside world can make these minds vulnerable. I feel a bad feeling all over my body.

In that case, I guess...

"Signs of bad things happening..."

I'm sure Ars will make ourselves a priority, Alice said. Loki feels that way herself, and I guess that's the preferred thing to do.

But at the same time I was able to read to Loki what Ars thought, one end of it.

- Al probably decides that he can't ignore this mission more than he can imagine...

The result will remain the same. Als was forced to make two choices. In his last decision, Alice should do as she expected.

In other words, if he is not compelled to make that choice, surely Ars will complete his mission. It's closer to intuition than because it's work, and that's the feeling that magicians out there cultivate with their experience.

As much as Ars is worth more than intuition. It's intuition and hunch that Ars, who specializes in multilateral analysis, is the last thing he entrusts as an overall judgment.

It's an understandable story for everyone if you dive through the dead line. That failure is only ahead of ignoring some signs. The possibility of avoiding it is something you will notice after the end.

But those who dive through the dead line many times are nourished with the sense of discerning something like that branch.

Ars would have had a "hunch" at the stage of receiving the information on the mission. And that should have definitely gone beyond the hunch and turned into certainty on the occasion of an encounter with a demon.

"And [Night Walker]"

No matter how much of a place the outside world only invites unforeseen events, if we get it all together...

Loki, who was thinking with a view of the blurry and incendiary lights, turned his attention outside to give information to the idea from time to time.

Ahead of Loki's eyes, the flaming lights of the [Night Walker] still creeping out the tree sea. I can see that the queue is aiming for a certain place like some sort of ritual or another harsh festival. I wasn't sure from here, but there must have been the tallest mountain around here. The slope is strong from where we are now, and its top is invisible.

but the sky in the distance was thin and bright as it pushed through the darkness, and I could see the reddish afterlight.
