My leg looks painful.

"Because I used to be the same sports club as Yuka. I don't know what to do with this."

Walk down the hallway and up the stairs with patience. It is quite tight because of the heel.

"It's forbidden to use magic in the facility except in the arena and infirmary. Otherwise, I would never have missed a chance to touch your feet."

"I won't let you touch it even if it's not forbidden."

"Whatever you want, Princess, I'll give you a hug."

"It's a limitation because I put my arms together."

It's almost routine with the reward of even whispering and bouncing from before. No longer frustrating, it is easier to go through in a simple working mood.

While walking, the thankfulness of the prophecy is spotting my bones.

Whether to go from top to bottom - I made these two choices wrong.

Since the starting point was on the first floor, I went down to the first basement and crushed each room from there.

And now, on the top floor, the third floor.

I wondered why I didn't go upstairs at that time.

It takes a lot of time to get inside one way or the other and look into it carefully. Continuous emptiness also deals psychological damage to the plain.

By this time, Max and the others encouraged themselves to work hard on the game and managed to reach the remaining five rooms.

Troy went to the security room and borrowed the master key, so there was no trouble getting in. I feel like I'm making him cross the bad bridge, so I think we should ask Isaac to follow me later. That's right, at a later date, if Troy gets a strange suspicion, the aftertaste will be bad.

Then I opened the key to the room, went inside, and went to the back of the furniture yard.

"There it is!

--Finally!!

... I found it...

"... what is this?

I'm glad they found me, but I feel unexpectedly gloomy.

Troy replied twisting his neck.

Pitago device?

You can only see!?

The room is filled with playful and precise tricks that you can see from the first glance. And in the center of the trick, a magic team that seems to be trying to cut the boundary, and in the middle, a glass with a bright red liquid.

The Reaper's previous magic squad has exerted tremendous effect with sacrificial blood. You mean to boost the magic team with blood, which is already working little by little?

It's still before it's activated, but when it starts moving, the moment it's finished, the magic team is bled from the fallen glass, destroying the border completely at once, and deploying a giant Cerberus Summon in the middle of the arena?

What a pleasant hell device!? Who the hell are you supposed to show me!?

Hont, I can't grab that mysterious black hood guy. I wonder how much fun he is. More than that, he's enjoying the show.

I looked back at the starting point, and it was there for the first time.

"Ha!!?

- There it is. The Reaper.

Why didn't you notice!? He is wearing a dark black vibe and shuddering like a ghost.

"Oh, the one who arranged the nomination?

Troy asks in a casual tone. A few days before the summer solstice this year, a person in black robes was witnessed during a second alien summons and was identified as the perpetrator of the Magic Faction incident.

Only my white hands, like wax, staring at me from a dark lump with no face, are spookily and slowly shaking to greet me.

I can't believe I'm meeting him!! I was supposed to be ready someday, but not now!? The picture of myself being killed in my brain is too instantaneous, and my body solidifies without my knowledge.

I wondered what to do aggressively.

Can I catch you? Should we run too? If you can't use magic, can you fight Troy alone? No, but does Troy count? In the first place, can't he really use magic if he's within the boundaries? Ah, call Troy's Shadow Guard!

In a few moments of reflection, the white hand defeated the start domino.

"Ahhh!!?

Follow the device that began to move around in a hurry with your eyes.

It's supposed to be an emergency, but there's that dumb flute BGM in your brain. No, not anymore!! If we succeed, the giant Cerberus will pop out!!

While in a hurry, he rushed ahead and caught the ball flying into space with both hands, and managed to stop the progress.

Damn it, if it wasn't a goal of blood, I'd be enjoying it!! Fucking useless playfulness and craftsmanship!!

And when I looked back, the Reaper was already gone.

"It's gone. Wow. What kind of trick is that?

Behind me, I heard Troy murmuring. The boundary has not been broken. Successfully stopped.

And yet he ran away.

Some people are relieved to escape. For the time being, I was saved today.

Your body is relaxed. Supported by a Trojan in the back.

"Do you really need a princess hug?

"I don't need it!

My body regained its strength. He's a useful man in a way.

I regained consciousness and abandoned my magic team to the point where it became inoperable. Since on-site verification is required later, the status quo should not be overbroken.

"Now you've managed to avoid a catastrophe."

Breathe out with some relief.

In time, it's about time for the quarterfinals.

I can't help being discouraged. I was looking forward to it, but I couldn't see more than half. Some of my friends have already lost.

"Thank you, Troy. Thank you so much."

Sure was depressing, but without Troy's help, I don't know if it would have been the same. Above all, I was not alone when I suddenly confronted the Reaper and kept a little calm.

"I had a wonderful time with you, and I was thankful, and I was helpful."

"--The content of the gratitude needs to be discussed"

"I was hoping I could have your escort by the end of the day, but unfortunately, is this the end of the date?

Troy proposed an unexpectedly light dissolution.

"I'll let the guards know, so you can go now. I'll make it a coincidence I found her in a secret room with a beautiful woman."

Smile and make a really thankful suggestion. But honestly, I can't accept it more honestly. I can't believe you let me go with nothing, even though you've been so persistent.

"What kind of blowing is that?

"I'd like to raise your favor a little bit. I've been useful, haven't I?

"--I appreciate that...."

"I've had a lot of fun, and then..."

Troy took my hand and kissed me in the palm of his hand. Suddenly the palm of your hand instead of the armor!? Son of a bitch!!

"If you want to thank me, that's enough for now. Next, I expect lips."

Unexpectedly exhales with a mild dictation. Is this what women do in the world?

"I'm sorry, but I don't have my hands. But thank you so much for today."

"You're welcome."

He took his hand off Troy with a smile and dragged his foot to the audience seat early enough.
