Saikyou Mahoushi no Inton Keikaku

Take formations such as Felinera and Seniat on the avant-garde, Illumina at the rear of the squad.

There were a few formations that I had assumed beforehand, which did not apply to any of them.

I guess I can't do that either. Only a limited number of people can fight, and those who are injured need immediate and full treatment.

Boys have to lend their shoulders and move slowly. If it's true, we have to put it on the stretcher and keep it at rest, but we can't even hope for it in the deposits.

It is well understood that Felinella should lend her shoulders as well. But the possibility of taking a hindhand against the demons cannot be abandoned, and that is directly linked to the destruction of the troops. I couldn't reduce the number of people I could fight any more.

Because Ferrinella and Illumina were the only personnel who could detect the demons quickly and deal with them instantly.

Senior must focus on the injured's protective wall in case.

Things were more pressing than the word "retreat".

In a situation where demons roam the interior of a bundle of mineral deposits, it can't be safe where you've already knocked them down. If you learn from the outside world, you were very likely to come to the magical remnants of the crusaded demons in the first place due to their demonic habits. I may have to confront a number of demons who will double even if I follow the path I have come.

With the thought of straw, including the treatment of the wounded, Ferrinella and the others decided to seek rescue from the 4th Magic Academy unit, which would be investigating the nearest center. It will be a large area, but we should be able to make a definite return more than we are now.

Since it is difficult to communicate with the outside from inside the deposits due to the influence of misrills, they have not even brought smoke emitting coins for emergencies from the beginning.

Ferrinella, who was walking in the lead, saw a male student floating a ball of sweat on one side of his forehead in a spicy manner. The foot wounds will seep blood every time you walk, and in time, you will begin to draw blood lines to the ground.

He's a shoulder lender. He's never a minor injury, too, when it comes to the extent of his injuries. Though he distorted his face in pain and still never stopped to return step by step.

The map passes to Seniat, and Felinella turns her attention forward with care.

Ferrinella and the others were a long way from the compartment in charge, and it was difficult to follow the exact route home without maps. The Ferrinellas who were investigating the outer periphery were moving toward the center. No, I had to.

"This is the fifth way, straight ahead."

Senior stared so seriously at the map that the hole was empty, showing the way forward.

"Thank you," said the weak Felinella voice.

Rub down the jirries and nerves with great care. I've checked two demons so far, but I've acted cautiously in a hurry to avoid a fight and bypass it.

I try to avoid anything but demons that I know as knowledge. I drove my troops to a devastating situation, only the same mistakes had to be avoided.

And again, I realize, this deposits are heavy on students. Ferrinella, who felt that way, was remembering the story of Karia.

Maybe there's something here.

Perhaps the words vomited inside like stupidity were because the inside of the deposits felt something different from the outside world.

No, the demons we meet are too special. Preliminary investigations that the association was supposed to have conducted should have determined that there were no problems. That should have denied the existence of an unknown demon......

Nonetheless, I wonder if all the demons that the Ferrinellas meet from earlier were new breeds. Not all demons are grasped, but suspicion begins to disturb your mind if demons still show up that you don't remember so far.

"Mr. Seniat, what's wrong?

Until earlier it was Seniat, who showed no hesitation in guiding, but kept her gaze off the map so that she could hit a branch road and mumble.

Sweat flowed from his cheeks, making balls under his chin and dropping drops of water over the map.

"... Mr. Fellinella, from here on out..."

Seniat, who managed to squeeze out with a trembling voice, had signs that she regretted her mistakes.

Engraved, she searches in the map - for an undrawn terrain that suddenly appeared in front of her.

"From here on out, it's not on the map! Why, why... I didn't draw a place like this!!

"- Unsurveyed compartment!!

That can't be right. Ferrinella turned her heels back to be bounced and turned her attention to the map she had widened wide.

He has a bitter face next door as Senior holds his forehead full of strength.

"Why, how could you do that!!

Point your finger on the map to the path Seniat came to.

"I remember it right. Where did you turn! Really, I remember it right!? And yet, why..."

The voices of self-reproach rough and distracting. Gradually, large tears began to overflow from Seniat's eyes. So much so that I'm likely to hear even such screams because of myself.

"Calm down! Calm down!!

Her open pupil looked only at the map. Hold her head, gripping her hair. She was being crushed by "lethargy" to the point where she was going crazy.

To her like that. Felinella gives her full strength, grabs her shoulders and makes her point at herself. Ferrinella forced herself to turn her open eyes.

Don't let her have any room to think about it or anything, but let her have a straight glance.

"Take a big breath and throw up slowly!! It's okay, 'cause it's okay. You didn't make a mistake...... there wasn't. You see!

Cockoo, powerless nodding returns.

Not blind to the map, which spread without sound on the ground, Ferrinella raised her voice to be heard by all.

"Okay? The journey to this point is properly mapped. But if it doesn't match the map from here, it's still okay. I didn't go the wrong way somewhere."

Words you threw up to calm you down.

But Ferrinella had noticed at a glance - that the map differed from the actual structure.

The association's investigation is a close and thoughtful one. Then I don't think I would make such a preliminary mistake. There is a possibility of a mistake in the investigation due to malfunctioning of the equipment, but it should be confirmed with the eyes, not once.

For some reason, it is true that there are areas that do not match the map.

There are no branches that could otherwise be called divides from here on down the road.

But what was there was a huge room, a pocket. There can't be a room, Pocket.

No matter how many times I look at it, it doesn't match the sights of reality and the schematics on the map.

Cold and sweaty on Felinella's back.

Seniat's unstudied compartment, for example, would surely go into the unstudied compartment if he was going further back. But if that's the case, the journey to this point won't match the map already.

"Assuming this far was the map, the room in front of you, Pocket, would have suddenly appeared."

Ferri, we can't go back.

Illumina's words were letting us know that there was no time. Yes, it's already taken quite a while to get here. For being injured, the pace of progress is also slow. The choice to return now creates a crack of "futile" and "pointless" for the troops.

Not to mention the difficulty of getting out of the deposits without the cooperation of other troops.

The preceding Ferrinella waited for everyone to arrive when she confirmed that there were no demons in the room Pocket.

"Weird. There's debris under the wall..."

The interior was domed, however different in size as characteristic of the previous room Pocket.

It's not that big of a space. But there are little stones scattered beside the walls.

Above all...

Felinera looked around carefully. There are several traces on the ground where rocks have moved enough to sit on their hips.

And the most puzzling thing is.

Ferrinella turned her eyes to it as if she could see something creepy.

"What's wrong, Ferri? Let's hurry up."

Illumina complained with her eyes about the passage through the room "pocket" so that she could be rushed.

But in the direction of fixing Ferrinella's gaze, she turns to her face as if she can also be sucked in.

Illumina sounded stunned without thinking, "What?"

The reaction has just been done by Felinella.

Yes, this room Pocket has a passageway that goes straight and... another one.

Another narrow sidewalk existed.

"I don't know where it leads"

Ferrinella mouths, perceiving the doubts that everyone has had.

Yes, if you look at the map, it's like you don't know where it leads. Even if this was an uninvestigated compartment, it's odd that there's another main road here.

"Of course, I think it's a dead end,"

The creepy details were dim with little misrills, and I couldn't see ahead as if more and more air was sitting there.

Situationally we cannot explore this inexplicable path.

Ferrinella tried to divert her attention from it and turned her body toward her original path.

"I'm fine now. Let's move on from that. It can't be that the maps are all wrong. Find the landmarks the map points to. If we don't hurry, the Fourth Magic Academy unit may move on."

That would make rendezvous difficult.

I might be able to get you to share the tools you need to treat me, and I just want some pain meds.

At any rate, the path followed by the Fourth Magic Academy is almost straight from the entrance, so it took strength to return on the shortest route.

Survival rates vary from step to step by merge.

Then I slowly proceeded with my steps, checking the sequential map with Senior.

There seems to be some error, but still when they managed to see the room Pocket as expected, Felinera and Seniat both exhaled in relief at the same time.

"Ah!! There! That's the rendezvous point!! Helpful. We can all go home safely now."

I guess the misplaced tension is a recoil of earlier failures. Seniat uttered a brave bouncing word, pointing her finger towards the slightest light.

"Point [K-5], right? Probably from the terrain."

It is possible that the troops of the Fourth Magic Academy have already moved on, but they did not do anything to incite anxiety. There is no doubt that their troops will pass this point as an investigative route. The time schedule for each unit is in my head at once. I wonder if you're in for a break in time.

The original rendezvous point is ahead, but given the speed at which the Ferrinellas are progressing, we should make it.

[K-5] The points are not unseen compartments. Ningro, in front of it.

It's just the right place to rest… no matter, if there's no danger of demons.

Illumina, wary of the rear end, also raises her hand and reports that the demon is not coming from behind.

Everyone will be able to reach the rendezvous point safely.

The leading Felinella first entered, and later the Seniats swelled their chests to expectations and stepped into the [K-5] point.

It was an arched room "pocket" where cylindrical objects were broken vertically.

There are three aisles in total. It stretches to the left and right where the Ferrinellas came in.

There were many rocks and a small misrill rolled over there. Because of this, the brightness drops slightly compared to other places.

But that wasn't the problem.

There should be... I didn't see the person who was supposed to be there. There is no trace of it, only idle silence sitting.

…………

"Oh, why... why is no one here!?

The grieving groan was not what Seniat intended to say. I couldn't help but think of the sight of cancer in front of me. Expectations were tolerable and vanished from sight as if they were fantasies.

Then Senior breaks his leg to collapse on the spot.

Given the current situation, I can't help it if she gets discouraged. But Ferrinella was suspicious because there was no sign of a fourth magic school going through here.

Points, points are to be marked for completion of the investigation as each unit. Even at the point where Ferrinella and the others rested earlier, they have completed their investigation and left their mark as a sign of passing through.

It was a choice to increase survival, but yes, it's only acceptable that it can't go so well. It may have been a long way around, but I guess it's good considering there's less temporal loss and not a single battle with demons so far.

If the Fourth Magic Academy unit hasn't arrived here yet, it's also likely to fit on the road.

It's just...

- I don't know, this unspeakable anxiety...
