The Branded Female Fencer
War and Peace, Part 461 ~ Abandoned Ruins ② ~
Everyone looked around, but apparently there were some similar scaffolding, but there's no way this scaffolding is going through somewhere. Even the closest scaffolding seemed to be a distance for twenty humans. It wasn't something I could very much jump on.
I threw the stones around it into the dark when Betts sounded like it, but I can't hear the sound forever.
"... just like Natsuo."
"What are you gonna do, you're not going anywhere?
"Dear Diore, how can you make a scaffold out of magic?
"Ibran, earthly magic cannot be done without the material on which it is based. With this scaffold, you don't know what's gonna happen in the first place, do you?
It is likely that it is suspended in perfect balance. Imagining the sight of the scaffolding crumbling and upside down, the servant Ibran also relaxed.
"Speaking of which, what about Alphilis?
"Over there."
Alphilis was looking for several places, paying off the dust on the ground of the scaffolding. In one of them, my hand stops perfectly.
"You did."
When Alphilis shed his magic on the spot, a line of light entered the rock in the scaffold. And at the same time, when letters emerged from the ground, they became like a few bands and began to circle around the alphilis.
"The curse?
"No... that one"
Larna denies the closet question. The alphilis at the time seemed to be manipulating something, touching the letters floating in the universe with the wind where it blew.
"I see this ruin isn't completely dead either. This is how the ability to respond to calls is left - yeah? Is this one corner only running? Call Administrator Simola - no, is the function still shut down?
If so, who? "
"You"
Larna spoke to someone who replaced Alphilis. The person responded to Larna's call and looked up.
"What are you doing?
"Whether I'm looking for Ucco or not"
"Ucko?"
"I am the culprit of this ringing. There shouldn't be time to wake up yet... because now is the only time if we're going to stop. But that's strange."
When Alphilis put his hand around him, the spirits of the elephant gathered around him. The brilliance of red, blue and white dancing in the darkness was fantastic, but at the same time the alphilis at its center seems to be something that is not a person.
Unlike the others who would just be taken lightly, the three of them, Larna, Muscade and Closess, were feeling instinctive awe.
"What the hell are you..."
"Yes - there's still no match between Ucco's reaction and the site's operational status. It's funny. Since before Ucco woke up, I wonder if anyone would say that someone intentionally placed Ucco here and woke him up."
Alphilis whining alone for a while in front of Rana looking worried, but when I put my thoughts together, I turned around to Rana.
"Larna, I command you as a witch. Crusade Ucco according to me and check the operation of this site."
"- There is only one person I follow, Alphilis. Your orders..."
"It's also about being involved in Alphilis. And I don't have time for that. If you're saying no, you can force me to enforce it, right?
As Larna was overwhelmed by the pressure of not letting her say yes or no, the closet slapped Pong on its shoulder.
"Larna, let's obey here"
"But..."
"I'm sure it's not just a matter of time. I don't think things will work out as they are. I'm pretty sure we'd do less harm here if we worked together honestly."
"That's right. Sure, it's creepy to listen to people who don't know who they are, but we should instinctively understand who this is. Even more so if you're a witch, you can't go against it."
I know what Muscade says. But even so, Larna's instincts refuse. I couldn't stand listening to anyone but Alpha Reese, but...
