Walking there, all my legs stopped perfectly as if I'd given up on moving on.

Even the slightest possibility would have inflated expectations disproportionately. In this unit, which no longer functions as a squad, rendezvous with other schools dramatically increases survival. Anything good, if there was something there to help, would it have saved you a little bit?

But only a space with nothing poked a hole in his chest. Loss deprives you of your ability to think and just sticks your feet to the ground.

In that, the only Ferrinella instantly turns her mind around. If the leader who holds the team together stops thinking, that's what keeps the unit from being wiped out. I can't let them feed on demons or anything.

Once he took a big, deep breath, Felinella exhales with a mixed voice with Phew.

Not yet, to the extent assumed. Assumptions that left room for possibility. It is only one of the possible possibilities. Not the best, but not the worst yet.

The best thing to do is to successfully rendezvous with the Fourth Magic Academy, but naturally the possibility that it wouldn't come true was also in perspective.

Maybe he hasn't arrived yet, also because he doesn't see any signs that the Fourth Magic Academy has passed. There's no way everything's going on schedule.

Ferrinella looked around at the faces of everyone.

Anxiety, which has broken slight expectations, like chasing people in the face, covers everyone's face. Fatigue had accumulated in so few fights so far.

Illumina, too, and even Ferrinella, that was no exception. The body is heavy and the wounds treated remain uneven and painful.

After a few moments of sudden self-loss as if forced to rest, his gaze concentrated on Felinella as if in a slight desire.

"It's okay. Let's head straight to the exit. I don't think it's an easy journey, but I'm sure I can go home. If we take the shortest route to the exit... we could possibly even rendezvous with the 4th Magic Academy unit on the way... Ah, ru"

I didn't spin the words well to the end. It was the last time Ferrinella assembled her various appointments in her brain and confirmed her time. It was confusing, as if my brain had been paralyzed. For a moment, I didn't understand what had happened.

Oh, since when... with such a scream of the heart, Felinella's gaze turned to the clock pointing to an unnatural time.

So was the clock in the licensed virtual LCD that I immediately launched, referring to unawares of time. It was not a range of errors, not minutes, not dozens of minutes.

"Five hours… or more, it's off"

Ferrinella, who calculates mechanically, mouthed a potpourri.

The time I just checked a few minutes ago on should probably have been accurate.

At least I didn't get suspicious. The survey progression rate inside the deposits was good.

But inside this deposit, where misrills are dense when asked if it was ever sensibly accurate, you can't even hit the body clock.

Even if it was a little crazy, I wouldn't have been able to notice. Now, if no obvious anomaly had happened like this, I wouldn't have noticed anything.

"Ferri, you can't do this one either. Everyone's going crazy with their watches."

Illumina, who was starting to act with few words, confirms the clock in everyone's possession. And supported the prediction as a solid fact.

Besides, the way time shifts is a city, the only thing we have in common is about five hours or more of discrepancy.

Assuming even that is making your body feel time inside the deposits strange, your speculation will cease to be made.

Probably just an ambiguous imagination of more than five hours of discrepancy.

The suspicion began to provoke the self question that maybe this discrepancy is actually an exact time in itself.

"Liar, could we have been in the deposits much longer than we thought!

We cannot reasonably deny Senior's words that cause confusion.

But...

"No, that's not possible. The clock's definitely going crazy."

Illumina also nods with consent. Even if they are hungry, it can't be more than five hours after their perception.

It was not long before a sense of despair spread to his companions, as if in a tree sea, the azimuthal magnet had gone mad. So is that, the fact that time is crazy means that on the road so far...... no, nothing more than the feeling has been driving me crazy for a long time.

It happens to transform where we stand into something unstable. The confusion of consciousness of self immediately begins to shake confidence and fails to retain oneself.

That is, the initial symptoms of panic.

The situation that is being placed now is as easy to imagine...... bad.

The fact that the Fourth Magic Academy is not here means that it may have passed by a long time ago. Because it doesn't have a mark, I can imagine a few reasons.

Maybe he's even returning from his assignment.

Ferrinella's brain was spinning so fast now that it even caused a headache - the most reasonable guess.

That is to have a huge impact on future choices, above all Setouchi, who can maintain his troops.

Important choice to return safely, safely and in the shortest possible time.

We must give this the highest priority.

"Socurent!! That's terrible sweat."

I thought I heard that voice in the distance. Felinella's consciousness was far deeper, sinking into the sea of thought. The sound of ringing from the outside, which separates the surface of the water, causes the ripples to rise to the surface of the water. That had become a terrible headache for her now.

Everyone was speaking out something towards us. It doesn't go through the tympanic membrane, it's like it's going to slap your brain directly.

"Mr. Ferrinella, he won't have any more!! Now......"

"Be quiet!!

For her, I shouted enough to call it the first time in my life. All the elements that disturb thoughts are only in the way of Felinella today.

Panic is a lifesaver in the outside world.

The magic a magician deals with depends to a great extent on his mental state. And even building magic correctly can be harder and can even lead to a runoff. Regardless, if you get that far, the end is the end.

Mental loads, such as stress disorders, make behavior simpler to prescribe. It is often seen that we recognize all the beholders as enemies or harm ourselves.

Magic reacts obediently to such monotonous movements of the mind.

Nobody can help you like this. Determined so, Ferrinella considers a reasonable explanation. While we can all still understand......

Now, if demons attack us, we'll have to cover everyone with just Ferrinella and Illumina. Whatever, that's all I need. Bringing home a panicked companion also poses a considerable risk to the normal.

So...

"Let's make sure we go, one at a time, as we head to the exit"

Checking the map, Felinella looked from the road she came in and showed the road to the left. Speaking at length seemed relaxed, and it was necessary now.

"Time went crazy on the road until we got here. I think there's some kind of cause for at least five hours of discrepancy."

Ferrinella tried to make the speculation pale and as close as possible to the facts.

You perceived the intent, and from behind, Illumina also joins the increase.

"I agree with Ferri, too. Five hours is an anomaly, even if it's physical. Which means the Fourth Magic Academy hasn't reached the pocket yet."

"It feels like it's only likely. Mr. Senior, if rendezvous was our top priority, we could have waited for the Fourth Magic Academy unit to arrive there. It's not realistic, but there was also an option to head to the earlier rendezvous point that was originally planned. But then we wouldn't have been able to cut through."

Sometimes the Fourth Magic Academy has abstained from the mission as much as they do. I don't have enough certainty to just go far. Then the Ferrinellas just dragged the injured around for a long time.

Go to a point that will pass more firmly than that, and if you are lucky enough to rendezvous, your word. It's a choice of results considering temporal risks and demonic encounters, even if we can't rendezvous.

More ideally, they were alarming about the interior of the deposits, wanted to rendezvous with Kalia's troops, but they were investigating the opposite direction with the Ferrinellas, which is difficult.

So when I was thinking about such dreamy hope - it happened abruptly.

"Awwwwwwwwww!

It was an uninterrupted cry. The scream, which just smashed his throat, echoed, running a scare like a current on the back of the Ferrinellas. The Terminator, yes, even seems to be the biggest scream a human can make.

Everyone looked back reflexively towards the ringing voice.

"Hih, people's voices...... right"

Seniat shrugged alone, not asking anyone. Surely it was the voice of a person, or at least for a moment now there was something difficult to discern. It was such a crushing, cloudy voice.

"Definitely. People's voices, that too..."

Felinella dares swallow the words that follow first. Speaking of people here, yes, there are only students.

Besides, behind it, that's likely a 4th Magic Academy unit.

But now... it's hard for the Ferrinellas to get to the rescue. It is only reckless for the side seeking rescue to take the side of rescue.

"Feri......"

Everyone's strong gaze is the captain, waiting for Felinella's instructions.

Helping each other but carrying out our mission safely is what we want. This task will mean a great deal not only to students, but also to humanity in the future.

It's just...

- It's just that now it's my job to get everyone home safely... I won't let anyone miss it. So the other troops......

There's no way out of a cornered thought, and I can't find a way to overturn it or anything.

The selfish idea that even my own troops are safe is the utmost desire that a student has at his or her height. Wanting more than that is the same as taking troops on the road.

Injured male students are life-threatening if they don't show the healing magician soon enough. And we definitely need Ferrinella and Illumina to be able to fight to get it delivered safely.

"I'm sorry."

Ferrinella did not speak much and bowed her head to her companion by saying just one word.

The answer you can both take.

The faces of all were nodding, without understanding the meaning correctly. A statement of intent that she will not contest her decision.

Then, at the next moment, Tan, the footsteps sound nearby.

It was Illumina that reacted prematurely.

She used to put her hands on the AWR pattern so she could pull it out at any time. No, I had already floated just a little bit of my thin self.

but it wasn't the threats they were concerned about that showed up...

"Why are you here -!"
