Senpensekai no Madoushoshi

Zah, zah, zah... and the sound of stepping on the sand sounds regular.

Going west along the sandy beach...... for a while. Carol resented the sun. He said while looking at it, it's been about an hour since he left the ship.

And we are now starting to walk away from the beach in the desert. The light of the Holy Flower shoots, towards the place of destination.

"Iris, are you okay? Are you okay?"

Carol, walking in the lead, looked back crooked.

"Ugh, yeah. It's okay... it's okay..."

Temperatures are still high, albeit just past the peak and then down. Stabbing sunshine strikes us. Not only that, but the heat emitted by the burnt sand quickly takes away moisture from the body.

"Though it's a little distance to walk in the desert, could we have waited a little longer for the sun to fall?

Toslin looking back from the leading position, just like Carol. Needless to say, there is me at the end of that gaze, and the word "okay" means I breathe on my shoulders.

"What, just take a little break? I think if we go around the back of the dunes, it'll be a shadow and a little cool."

At the tip of Carol's finger, there was a small high hill. It's actually the first thing I've ever known about walking in the desert, but you're not flat in the desert. Rather, there are fewer flat places, almost repeatedly climbing and descending. Thanks to this, my strength was sobered up a long time ago.

"... no, it doesn't extend to that"

Saluena, who was behind me, came to the next door and peered into my face.

"You can go, Iris?

And that's what he says and he laughs at me with a slap on the back.

It's really a tatter, it doesn't work the way my legs think, but it's not completely immobile. There were similar situations in the special training of the Toslins at Eleonora School to build strength. That's when I tried my best to eat up my teeth. I worked hard to accomplish my special training. Then I'll be fine this time.

"Yeah, we can go."

I got one leather bag that Gortmund was carrying, and I sipped the water in it. The lukewarm water swells through the dry body.

"Iris is fine. I'll let this kid carry it when it happens. So let's hurry up. Mr. Toslin."

Your sister will fix my sand removal hood that was rolled up. I was stroked over the hood with my head pumped and simple I just got energized by it.

"... ok. We're almost there. Good luck."

I try to defy the wind that Toslin and Carol are blowing at me and I walk out again.

"I told you so, Iris. That's the adventurer. I won't let you rest because of the moment we're fighting, but I'll help you out a little."

Ritzereich said that and pushed me from behind. The backpack lost its weight and my body enjoyed coming forward naturally.

"Wow, thanks. But is Rizzelaich okay?

"Don't worry about me. Come on, we're going up the sand mountain!!

"Uh-huh!? Faster, faster, faster!!

With the help of Ritzereich, we quickly reach the top of a sandy hill that was holding back where we were going. And so I know that Toslin's words are right.

"Ah..."

Ahead looking down from the top of the hill. There was a rock spread out there. On that spot stained with one side of sand, the rock was sticking out as if to rise.

Slip down the dunes and get close to the rocks.

The closer you get, the bigger the rock sticks out. The tallest of us, the rock of height, twice as good as Saluena, is disturbed as if it were woodland trees.

"Heh, the center of the rock is turning into a water field"

Toslin moving on makes his voice play.

"Oh, really. I wish I had time to take a bath. My tail's full of sand, and I'm ticklish and restless."

Carol says that happily, too, and walks about Toslin.

"The map says the destination isn't supposed to be around here either, but is there anything like that?

Ritzereich trampling on crisp sand. I feel light-hearted or light in her footsteps, too. Some book said Oasis attracts people's minds, but Ritzereich doesn't seem to be the exception.

Me? I'm also, of course, currently straightening toward the oasis. Sometimes it's the first oasis I've seen, but my body craves a lot more moisture than that.

"No, it looks like it's just a water field from what I've seen..."

"Iris, you need to hurry up."

My sister's voice came from behind and my legs quickly tangled in a gap that was distracted by it for a moment.

"Aww!?

Zabah!!

I stick up front, I stick it straight through my head into the water field.

"Gabo Bo Bo!? Gobble!?"

The backpack is too heavy to get up. He also helped to say that he was in a state of general exhaustion and drowned without joking.

"P Huh!?

Bumping his hands and feet, he was grabbed by the hood and pulled up intact. As I breathed heavily thinking it was helpful, Ritzereich's squeaky face caught my eye.

"What are you going to do, Lord..."

"Oh, haha...... sorry. Thank you, Ritzereich."

"Doji. Well, you know, those places are kawayui's, but Rosalis is right, why don't you be careful?

I hear your sister's name, and I'm freaked out. Looking back in horror, my sister-in-law looked at me. That's already with more than Ritzereich's frightened look.

"You don't have to panic. The water won't run."

"Yes...... Sorry, sister......"

After I stand on my own feet, I become a shun.

"Isles is that one. You're the type to die in a trap to blind your treasure."

Same as me.

Soon Laplice and Mippo swimming with Bashabasha while inside the oasis and dressed in clothes.

Is the oasis quite large and would there be about a lake at the front desk? So somewhat where the Laplice and the others have broken out, the water remains transparent and continues to shine beautifully.

"No, that's crazy."

Carol snapped that way as she filled the leather bag with water quickly for now.

"Ah? What is it?

To Laplice's question, Carol snapped his neck instead of answering.

"Come on, what do you got?

"Oh? Oh, are you kidding me?

"No, wait, Laplice. Just be quiet."

Toslin stopped where Laplice tried to bite, as usual.

"... oh yeah. It's too quiet."

A little bit, Carol seems to have come to the point of being uncomfortable. Ha, look up, and start looking around.

"Oh, sure... When it comes to water fields in the desert, they are overflowing with birds and animals..."

"Oh, shit. Iris, get away from me right now. Laplice, Mippo. Get up there. There's something here!!

That's when Toslin said that absurdly.

Gragragra...... gogoggo, zusasasasasasassassassassassassassassassassassassassassassassa!!

"Ground tremor!?

I suddenly sounded ground and said I had just gotten up, but I knelt on the ground again.

"The ground is booming!?

"This one's starting to crack. Yikes!?

I can hear Laplice and Carol in a hurry.

"We're off the water! Hurry!!

At Toslin's direction we rush back in the direction we have just come as the sounds of the ground and sand flow echo.

"Ha, ha... hey, what!? What's going on?

"We'll check later!! Now just run!!

Hihihi said, climbing to the dunes that came down earlier. I stopped listening to my legs on the way, but I managed to get to the top thanks to Ritzereich and her sister pushing me from behind.

And we see it.

"Ha, ha, come on... are you serious..."

A bunch of rocks that were protruding around the water field to surround it. where they are moving simultaneously and are starting to protrude.

"Is that... is it all?

Toslin and Carol staring next door squeeze out their plundered voices.

"Apparently you do. That water field was quiet because we already had a client."

Exhaling, I narrow my eyes, too. Magic into the magic guide glasses, clarifying the contours of the blurred statue. That's how it popped into my eyes was a big big, rocky chunk.

"... Moss... Frog?

A chunk of rock is one after another crawling out of the sandy ground and starting to tremble. Seeing it reminds me of a story from Ritzereich about a frog who admired the dragon and tried to be a dragon.

Gego, gego, gego... Gego, gego...

What I thought sounded like was the sound of Moss Frog. What I thought was on the ground was Moss Frog's back.

But I can't help but notice that... Because they're far more gigantic than the individual they were when they fought on the Flummy.

"Right. Although I'm confused as to whether to call a frog that size."

I held the shield your sister had kept in Goltmund and carried it on your own. And then tap the free space by it and get used to it, then make a call at me.

"Iris, get in here."

"Huh..."

I'm confused. Sure, your health is close to the limit, but not enough to walk. When I get here, I also want to walk through to the end.

"Yes. I'm sorry......"

But maybe if you do, you'll annoy everyone. I am not here to put my own self through. I'm here to stop Mr. Waff from unsealing Quadriga.

"I have nothing to apologize for. You've worked so hard so far."

That's what your sister said and praised you for when you crossed Goltmund. With that one word, I'm glad I did my best to get this far. This would have been better if I hadn't nearly drowned at the end (...) eh (...) ko (...) n (...).

"Well, I'm pretty sure that's where the map says it is."

"Yeah...... I think the legend," those connected to the earth and hungry, "is them."

They, the Moss Frogs, admire the dragons that fly in the sky, and those who, in an attempt to do so, are on the contrary abandoned from the sky. But still, he can't stop admiring it, and still blindly continues to grab the stone looking at the sky.

"This watershed looks like their breeding ground."

"Um, because with water and sand, they can live."

"'The mourning that cannot fly through the sky is full of earth'"

More than a hundred Moss Frogs are still ringing with Gekogeko. But a dozen of them began to move as if they had waited for the inclination of the day.

"'Eventually disappeared, in the woods'"

Your sister will inherit the end of my grunt.

"'Now, mind you. The forest is upside down. You'll never get out again, upside down forest'"

"Well... are you sure there's a forest or something where they're going?

Moss Frog is moving in a direction, south. We continue on the sand by pulling our large bodies together and making sure they are guided by the sun's rays that set.

When he realizes and sees, the dozens of Moss Frogs left on the water field crouch in with their feet together again as if nothing had happened, buried by the sand carried by the wind that blows.

Seeing that, I thought. I was wondering if that's more like a waiting area than a breeding ground. Yeah, then I turn my body down on the water field, do the day, and then I start moving around after sundown. They repeat this regularly, maybe every day.

"What, you'll see if you follow me. I wonder what they're doing that for."

Saluena pounded my knee. Goltmund is drawn by her, and begins to move on.

The sun, which was raging sunshine, has also begun to blush at some point.

Behind us, walking out after Moss Frog, only the footprints and the long stretched shadows remained.
