But we're in trouble. I thought you could handle it over time, but you're totally crushing me for not even letting me eat.

I can't right now, but they're from Colorful Eating District... remember?

No water either. The bathroom is also the only place that looks like a hole on the edge. Is this how prisoners are treated?

You don't treat me like a human being. No, I'm human. I have to get out of here somehow.

You could have escaped without being caught, but once you're not caught, the damage will be done to the people around you. That's all I have to avoid.

Without a cane, the power of the locks makes it impossible to draw a map of the universe with your fingers. Even if you want to draw a magic formation on the ground, under your feet is stone making.

"Then………………………"

Classic, but let's use blood letters.

I took off my shoes, cut my thumb off with my teeth and started drawing magic formations (,,) on the ground. Pain runs every time my thumb rubs on the ground, but if I'm doing Adventurer, this stuff won't even get into a scratch.

But it hurts, so let's recover later. It's a top priority over stroking Porch's head. Yeah.

Of course, this sorcery team alone does not activate the sorcery itself. Magic and magic are only activated with magic.

Besides, if you can do this, any magician prisoner caught here will be able to escape.

That's why I...

"Alright, magic suction."

Use iron locks as a catalyst for magic.

When magic is applied to an object in the application of alchemy, it becomes an artifact. Magic should dwell on magic.

This is the basic law of magic. Use this as a catalyst to activate sorcery and absorb the magic left in the lock with sorcery.

Then all that remains is... just iron locks.

Then I will be able to map the universe with my fingers. There are two last jobs to be done here.

I worked fine on the sorcery formations painted with blood letters, and finally I used the storeroom... -.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

- Pochizzery store, Azley's room.

"Ugh, escape success"

I unleashed the light source magic and lit the room.

I lowered my back on the bed and tried to recover my painful toe thumb, which was still bleeding.

"I've been waiting for you, Master! What an outfit!

"Mm-hmm. Sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't think you'd be here."

"Why aren't you wearing clothes! Get dressed!

"Damn, I can't help it. It's just in the storeroom...... ho, the storeroom! I'm still..."

I took one coat out of the store room and dressed it snugly in front of me with a porch that blocked my eyes with meatballs.

"Look, how about this?

"Wow... that's a very familiar coat... I mean, did you still keep that?

"It's good to have things."

"I've overlaid the repairs and forgotten the shape of my original coat, but you do have it for about five hundred years..."

"Ha ha, right?

I left that dungeon where Porch and I lived and met the Ryans in Falltown. I met Reed, Mana, Tifa, and Raina. And for the two years I spent with Lina, during which time I put my sleeve through the coat I had been wearing, now again.

There's something emotional about it, but it's also true that we can't afford it that much.

"Oh, you look like you're out, don't you?

"So who is it!?

Porch alerts himself and turns his consciousness to the door of the room, but no one was in that direction.

"Oh, that?

"Mr. Melky, you're being mean. Why don't you come out?

"I'm sorry about that. I just wanted to see her personality."

When Melky said so, she appeared to break the shadow all the time from where Porch was watching.

"And is it too much with the magic of transparency? Even the master hasn't finished it yet!

"The letter sounds thick, Mr. Az?

Zero a small grin, and as Melky laughed to tease, Porch shouted embarrassingly.

"Oh, that's not true! A little of that...... it's me!

Which one?

"Ha ha, this is not transparency, but magic that forces you to blend into the shadows. It's hard to use it at night or unless it's dark. Nice to meet you, Porch. My name is Merqui. Nice to meet you."

"Ah, yes. Best regards,"

"And how did you get out? That lock, Az, you can't take it off with your power, can you?

"Actually..."

Melkie opened her mouth when I explained to Melkie how I'd been from being captured to sucking magic.

"... it's easy to unlock if that's true. Ha ha, well thought out ~"

"So, Master, how did you get here?

"Spatial transfer magic. I set it up here in advance. I flew here in a cell, activated some space transfer magic."

"Mm, Az, you? That would lead to the discovery of the magic trail of space transfer that you set up in your cell?

"We have incorporated into the formula of space transfer magic a formula in which the magic formations disappear over time. The connection is a little troublesome, but there's nothing I can't do. You can't come and go with that magic team anymore. Oh, you have to erase that magic formation too."

"... well, it was officially ignored. No, that's funny! It's not like my master. It's funny."

I heard that voice on my back as I dismantled the magical formation of space transfer magic in the room.

Speaking of which, how old is Melky? I can't grasp you because you're old or young because of the way you talk.

"But wouldn't it be dangerous to be here if we found out there wasn't a master?

"No, I'm already dead..."

"No! The master is going to whitebone -!?

"You don't, fool!

But don't let this guy poke at you every once in a while. And it can be a piece of paper.

"He said he was already dead... what do you mean?

"I've left a skeleton made of calcium that looks exactly like my back length."

"Uh, that's why you were naked!

"Ha, naked!?

Unexpectedly, Merqui turns red. Awesome, sounds like a boiled duck. Ask them to cooperate in the study of blood circulation next time.

Naked, romantic spelling words.

"That's naked!

"Naked......... stripping..."

Hmm, you're running into a totally outrageous delusion.

Is Melky the weak type for this kind of thing? I'm teasing you.

"So, Master... isn't that just what the skeleton finds out?

"Oh, that's why I redrawn the magic team of magic suction when I unlocked it and turned it into an Acid-based magic team. I dare you to make a mistake."

"What happens when...?

Porch to tilt his neck and listen to. It's strange because I listen properly when I'm serious.

I definitely want you to ask me that from time to time......

"Master?"

"Oh, it unleashes magic to melt the iron locks, but it erupts because its magic formation was wrong. A man named Azley died without the magic of getting down on him. The magician who came to investigate my death decided so and settled it in circles. I've put the iron lock off on the skeleton, and I've returned the lock to the same effect, so it'll be fine."

"How can you unleash the magic of the Acid system if you were wearing a lock?

"Oh, Yabe... I can't tell you about magic... what do I do, Porch?

"Ha, not at all...... Why is the master missing somewhere...?

I don't just want you to tell me, but I'm gonna shut up because I'm gonna say it back and it's gonna sound loud.

"Why don't you ask Mr. Billy?

"Oh well! Mr. Billy wouldn't be surprised to be here for an autopsy, and he can't go and be his candidate!

"You can also give me sweets!

It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.

"People who give treats are generally good people! Both Mr. Gaston and Mr. Eileen were good people!

"... I see. That might be an interesting way to get statistics. Let's make it the subject of research next time."

"Ha............ you!?

Looks like Merqui is finally back.

"Az, so... what do you mean you're already dead?

... from there.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

"-... hey, I could ask Mr. Billy"

"What are we going to do...?

"Hmm, it's hard to be in this city while you're hiding, and I'm curious about what Mr. Melky told me..."

"Ha-ha-ha, then, Az, why don't you come to our master? Maybe I can help, and I can train myself, because if the subject of the investigation is nearby, it's easier for the master and me."

At a wise man's place in the Far East?

Sure, that might be interesting, but sometimes I want to do my own research, and more importantly...

"Is that Mr. Lina?

"Oh, and the color-eating neighborhood."

"Oh, Azley, don't worry about it."

It was a familiar voice heard from outside the light source magic that came in to interrupt my words.

"Brutes... were you there"

Silver members who became able to live together and speak in shattered words at some point.

Of course, it was these blues that did so the earliest.

"My impossible request originally led to this one. I can handle this one if I even know how to do it. Betty and Blazer seem to be on board, so we don't have to worry about this."

"But if we're just going to feed them, we're just going to have to educate them."

"I can handle that because I have a little idea there...... no, don't worry, I'll figure it out"

The voice of Brutes, who said so, was powerful and didn't give me room to argue.

It's a bit forceful, but I also find this to be a way of caring for Brutes, so it's troublesome.

Leaving...? When I asked Melky to hang a tight and gentle word, I thought about a lot of things.

The same goes for Lina, the University of Magic, the Adventurer's Guild, and the Colorful Food District. A state where everything is about to be done. No, did Lina graduate... But worrying is no different. There are some things that Lina would like to see grow from now on, but if she was ever close, it could also be an obstacle to growth in a way.

He was recognized by the University of Magic and also scouted by Gaston's Guardian Magic Corps. Billy told me you decided to drop me out, but I also heard that Gaston would accept me. It is unclear if I will join the Guardian Magic Corps, but I am glad that there is a place (,) where I can go.

What will Lina do? I can contact you any time I have witchcraft, and even that paper I gave you (,) will make me somewhat safer.

The matter of the colorful food district (Shigeru) with the generosity of silver will be fine at present. It'll take a while to buy my daughter, but this is where I take the time to do it.

There's no reason to make it an Adventurer's Guild but Bailanaea's. The world is wide and there are countless guilds.

Then it is... then, as Ryan said to me one day... that we must carry out the 'purpose and the obligation to inform the world of that knowledge' thing?

If people tell you to, I still think I'm arrogant when I think about it myself. I could certainly have done more.

Perhaps you could have admitted to witchcraft and made it public. No, I would have if God's use and his doings hadn't shown up. Then I feel like I need to get closer to the truth about the country and do something about it. But I'm still short on strength for that.

Well, then...

"Well, it seems you've made up your mind."

"He's an easy master to understand!

"I'll follow you, of course."

"I will... leave the city... Bailanaea"
