Shinka no Mi

"............ to?

When I realized I was standing in the woods, I just had to be stunned.

Where am I? Who am I?... not if you're joking.

"No, where are you really?!? Sarrier! Aroo! Helen!

Unexpectedly screaming on the spot, but not returning a reply.

Anxious about that, I remembered the effect of The Endless Neck of Love on my neck and immediately tried to communicate with Salia and the others.

"Salia! Can you hear me!?"

"- Oh, Makichi! I hear you, I hear you!

I was relieved that my voice returned from the necklace, and I exhaled one.

When I went to the underworld, I almost went of my own free will, so I didn't have that much anxiety, but when I suddenly got flown into a strange land, I was anxious and I couldn't help it.

Besides, unlike in the underworld this time, I can get in touch with you with the effect of a necklace, so I'm still fine.

"Hey, Makichi! Where are you now?!? '

(i) I was relieved, and now I heard Al looking in a hurry. Al usually gets me to work as a scratch, and I'm really sorry to worry about you even at these times.

"Wherever they say you are... I honestly don't know either"

Anyway, suddenly there's a depressing forest in front of us.

Looking around is full of trees, and honestly I can't answer where.

However, I'm pretty sure they flew somewhere on the same star because this is how the necklace effect works, so we should be able to rendezvous somehow.

Then, this time, I heard Salia's bright voice.

"Good! Even if Makichi thinks it's okay, I'm still worried... '

"Salia...... sorry"

I'm so sorry that I've always even worried about naive Salia.

"Seiichi can return with metastatic magic from there, right? Come back soon. Sometimes this Destra turns the bastard over to the king... because he wants to see you soon. '

Having seen Al say that while dyeing his cheeks red, I did remind him that metamagic would allow him to go home soon and try to exercise his magic quickly.

But...

"Is that it?"

Makichi, what's wrong?

"No, that's..."

I've tried to activate Metastatic Magic many times, but for some reason Metastatic Magic never did.

"What? Is this place the cause?

Even so, if this place prevents me from using metastatic magic, I can't overlook a body that doesn't weigh itself...

Mr. Brain Announcement, who was very active today, spoke to me in confusion.

"Makoto. This place is like a land where magic can't be used. '

"Huh? So [Evolution] doesn't activate and become available as usual?

'Unfortunately...... The inability to use magic on this land is due to the fact that Makoto is not interfering with this special land, but with the magic itself, with which the effects of [evolution] are not activated'.

Oh, my God.

I came here and for the first time I caught a glimpse of [evolution] weakness or something called a gap.

If I have something that works or interferes with me, I adapt it without question [Evolution], but it doesn't work except for my body.

If you ask me if this diminishes my chemistry, I honestly say, "So what?" It doesn't turn into anything on a level... only inconvenient when these things happen.

Whatever, if I had anything to do with it, [Evolution] would activate, so in the end, instead of cheating, it wouldn't change anything like a bug. Still, I felt a little relieved that [evolution] wasn't perfect.

Anyway, now that I know I can't go home right now, I told Salia and the others over the necklace that I would exhale.

"Hey, it looks like you can't use magic in this place, so I'm gonna move you to a place where you can use magic, and then I'm gonna go back there."

'... are you all right?

Then I heard Al's worried voice from the necklace, and I laughed bitterly.

"Hmmm... I can't say I'm okay, but I'll be right back. Besides, that's how I can get in touch with you, so I'll get back to you as soon as something happens."

'...... Mm. Then I'll wait for you.'

"Oh, let me know as soon as something happens to you, too, okay? That's why I'm going to blow up this forest."

If this forest is going to inhibit magic, I wonder if my thoughts are gradually being dragged by my body as well, around the thought of me having no problem wiping out the forest itself as a last resort... Well, I can't tell you how likely I am to be able to even think like an asshole...

I don't want to destroy the environment or anything, but if anything happens to Salia, I'll just ignore it.

"Well, if there's any progress again,

'Yeah, be careful!

In response to Sarya's words, we terminated the communication.

"Well... I don't even know where this place is and I have to walk appropriately"

He says it's dangerous to move around in the mountains without darkness, but the first place he got down to the other world was also in a super dangerous forest, and now he'll be safer than then, and he'll figure it out.

"So... shall we try our luck here?"

When I picked up the branches of the tree that had fallen on the spot, I stood on the ground.

"Now, in which direction do we fall?

Immediately releasing his hand from the branch of the tree, he fell to the right.

"Hey, right"

I don't know the exact numbers because my status is running away from home right now, but I'm supposed to be lucky, so maybe I'll be fine.... No, on second thought, it didn't even show up before I ran away from home, what do you think, actually?

Anyway, I started to get lost in the woods that I don't even know why.

◆ ◇ ◆

"Damn, Makoto... why would he get in trouble!?"

- After Makichi suddenly disappeared, the Saliahs left in the dungeon made contact with Makichi.

And I took a breather to make sure Makichi was safe in a completely different place than the dungeon.

Usually, however, she should be able to return soon with metastatic magic, but Seiichi's flying place seemed to be unusable with magic, and she was told that she would explore the area for the first time.

"No way... oh, it's my curse!? I thought you were all right now...!

Huh, Al, who has been tormented by the curse so far, blued his face wondering if Makoto was in trouble because of that curse of his own.

"Makichi would be fine! And it's not Al's fault, is it?

"So, but..."

Salia gently embraces Al, who still looks anxious.

"It's okay. Makichi said he'd come back properly, and if Al's curse was really coming down to Makichi, he'd soon escape the curse!

"... what the heck, that... but it's weird that you can't deny it..."

Hugged by Salia, Calm Al grinned bitterly.

"Thank you, Sarya."

"Yeah!"

Back as usual, Al turned his attention to Destra, who was still losing his mind.

"Well... thanks to Makichi for collecting all of his possessions, I don't think he's in danger anymore..."

"... Oh, I remember! Seiichi dropped the crystal when Seiichi fought the soldiers at school before, wasn't it the last one he used?

"Oh, that's when I couldn't even call it that fight! I don't know how it works, but it looks like we can move anywhere, so maybe Makoto's place right now is where this Destra bastard was planning on heading next here."

"Anyway, let's think about giving this man to the soldiers of the country!

"Right."

When Al cluttered up Destra, he noticed how strange Helen looked.

……

"Ah? Hey, what's up?

"... magic... unusable place...? No, but..."

"Helen?

"Huh! What is it?

As Salia peered into Helen's face, Helen finally realized that she was being seen by Salia and Al.

"What... you were acting weird."

"... sort of. But if he's in the position of an executive of the [Demon Order], there's a chance he's moving to Ajito..."

"Hmm? Well... in some cases you are transferring to Ajito..."

He was Al, who frowned on new possibilities, but shook his head immediately.

"Either way, I can't help thinking about it. Anyway, let's get him out of the dungeon. All right?"

"Yes, I'm fine. We have achieved the desired level…"

All right, let's go home.

By the time Makichi began exploring the woods, Salia and the others returned to the king's capital.
