Saikyou Mahoushi no Inton Keikaku

By the time the rest was over, three hours had already passed since the start of the mission. The Ferrinellas had a thirty percent mission rate.

Regardless, it has sometimes taken some time to reach the area under investigation, and essentially from here on out will be the full task.

"The pace of progress is very high. Everybody be careful because we're unexplored up ahead."

Preliminary investigation of the association has not been able to grasp the details. In the end, they never exceed the size of the deposits, so they haven't investigated the internal structure in detail.

It's just... because of its size, I don't know my way home without a map.

Ferrinella draws attention again and drops her eyes on the map.

"And it's complicated. There are many similar divisions, and there are few features like this."

I can tell that there is no other way out because I keep in mind that even the place where I rested earlier is the outer periphery. But as soon as we started moving, we found a similar room, a pocket.

A pointless space with some endless horizontal holes, like laying the flask down.

In addition, the presence of misrills with varying light intensities makes the thought unnecessarily cloudy. Without a map, we don't even know where we're headed. The glow emitted by the treasure of enchantment drives the sense of direction crazy.

I can't even tell how far I can trust the magic of the detection system in this.

Ferrinella felt her spine strengthen. As a maze to stray humans, that's the perfect creation.

Every time I went to the back, my memories of my journey so far seemed to stir up anxiety. While I still see the way, I get my hair pulled back. Still, you can proceed without being cowardly in this way, probably because you have company.

Do you go even if asked to do so by yourself, Ferrinella holds firm resolve?

"This brings us to the tenth branch."

Stopping at a plugged branch, Senior at the center of the squad wrinkles between his eyebrows and thinks. I shook my head immediately, but the spinning word was "I don't know the way I came anymore".

"I'm not sure it's time either."

"I can't help thinking about what I can't do from the start."

Three divisions appeared in front of the squad.

Ferrinella checks again on the map as she raises her anxious voice.

The broken gavel was issued by Illumina. She stood in each aisle, gazing into her eyes as she peered ahead. Mithrilled and thoughtful, he touches the wall and pours his magic into it.

Mithrills with high conductivity convey magic and illuminate the back if each is close to the other minerals.

The glow that lights up step by step - the pale magic light washes away the dim darkness.

In imitation of Illumina, the boys students also stopped by the two remaining aisles.

"I wonder which is the right path?" "……" Neither do the male students who were asked the answers to the questions they exchanged. Felinera, the captain, is the only one in this unit who can answer that.

But...

I see.

"What's wrong, Ferri?"

"Uh, yeah. It's an unexplored place, but it looks like you're connected somewhere. I mean, it's not just a room like the one I was in earlier, just a certain place like Pocket."

That should be it too. The investigation on the part of the association had been limited to a number of routes only.

"So, where is this divide leading, and the possibility of a dead end again?

"Mr. Seniat, you hit half. Look at this."

That's what I said. Show the map to Senior at the nearest.

Face close, peeking into her. Felinella indicated her current location with her fingers.

Even if nothing is unexplored, not everything that goes back is blank. It just doesn't say on the road until you reach it like a bug eater, and you have a great idea.

Preliminary exploration must have reached the point where the Ferrinellas were headed from another route.

"Go straight or turn right. Given that this is the end side, maybe the right will be in a room like the one we just had?

"Right."

Once I pinched the meeting, Illumina, who was looking at the direct route, returned.

"I think it's a hit. From what I've seen, it's almost a straight line."

"Then the problem is on both sides."

After Ferrinella turned her attention to the passages on both sides in question, she alternated between Illumina and Seniat to ask for her opinion.

The problem is the need for exploration. The Felinellas have been exploring the right edge since entering the deposits. The other troops are given mapping routes to each of the inside and opposite ends.

Naturally, it is often not discoverable in advance previews.

For example, if sidewalks exist in unexplored compartments like this one. Even if it was just a passage connected somewhere, I needed to write it down.

There may be a leak in exploration even if we leave it to the other troops.

Likewise, Illumina drops her eyes on the map and thinks about covering her mouth.

"Sure, this is going to come back. Time?"

"There's nothing you can't adjust for, but you don't know where you're going to get your time. Of course, I have extra time to think about emergencies."

"It's Ferri who decides. I'm just wasting my time even if I'm worried"

"Right. Let's keep going straight. The right aisle is probably dead, so you can check it out on the way home. The left might be explored by other troops. I think the 4th Magic Academy unit might be coming through. There are points where we can rendezvous, so if we're lucky, we can get confirmation from each other."

No objections were raised to Felinera's proposal. Everyone's snort returns, including boys.

There were also reports of no enemy shadows to the extent that they could be seen by male students who were checking the left and right passages.

Seniat gave her hand momentum where she matched.

"That's unanimous. Then let's go. Yeah, it makes the most sense."

"I can also adjust the time. We need to rendezvous and exchange information."

In addition to Seniat, there was also a voice of consent from Illumina.

With any luck, he said, Ferrinella felt that the information actually brought about by rendezvous with other troops was mandatory. At least what is the situation with the other troops, and what unexpected has happened that could have happened?

Has Kalia's reminder become a reality?

That confirmation is also the information necessary for the continuation of the mandate.

The worst assumption Ferrinella can think of is if there were already more emergencies than students could handle. It is also conceivable that the information will be left inside the deposits without being shared.

From a remote position, there is no other means of communication with the troops, so there is no choice.

No matter how high the conductivity of this Mithril is, and how hard it reacts to magic and emits light, there is no certainty that it will help measure the battles and distances of other troops.

"Let's change the formation a little bit."

It was the proposed ferrinella, but everyone immediately understood why.

This is due to the narrower passage you are about to pass than the one you have been going through. The mouth is wide, but the road is narrower enough to narrow ahead and go back. The horizontal width was only enough for the two of us to get through, and the high ceiling was by the way low with rocky skin that was also saving. There is also a sense of compression that is likely to hit me in the head when I am blurry.

Place the illumina at the beginning, and at the rear of the line, with the placement Seniat, Felinera is mainly second from the back.

Although in one row, it progressed slightly to the left and right so that each vision could be secured.

Start walking, that won't be long.

There is still a long way to go, and there is no exit-like wide space within sight. It is the main road where we do not even see a division like that.

Seniat put a ferrinella at the edge of her sight and shook her head at times when it was difficult to see the front. It's a relief to just say that there were people there a while ago, but I can't move quickly when something happens when this is not promising either.

From between my head and mine, it seemed fine for once. While he cares behind his back, he is nevertheless a rear guard, and Seniat, who deals with the magic of the defensive system, is given the role of immediately deploying magic, if at all.

But just after I made sure there was nothing behind me and put my face back in front of me - suddenly, the sound rang as if slapping the kachakacha and the ground with something hard.

Besides, Senior realizes sooner rather than later. The body immediately tenses and the nerves are forced to sharpen.

An irregular sound that gradually approaches to stir up a sense of impatience.

Kachachachachachachachachachachachachachachachacha -.

No one noticed earlier than Seniat, including Felinella, and even the servant Felinella noticed one beat late.

Shortly after stopping his leg, Senior looked back at the noise and leaked a scream drawn from his throat, "Eh". The origin of the sound I thought was forward came from behind unexpectedly.

I should have confirmed that there was nothing until just now. Is it because you're echoing, or because you cared too much about the front?

Either way, Seniat, who looked back at the same time she noticed, instantly turned pale in the face.

Senior turned to be rushed. It was a form worthy of the alien name, and he was approaching the troops with tremendous speed.

"Hi-no-no!!!!"
