The Tale of the Teapot Hero’s Revenge

"Killier, help...... eh"

"Quina!"

By the time I realized it, I was almost there.

Quina was instantly swallowed by a dirt kabe and disappeared from the spot.

It's like being dragged into the water.

"Damn...... Huh!

"... Huh!

I don't know who the hell or why Quina is thinking about it.

Beat might be dragged in next.

Hold Beat's little body and be vigilant while illuminating the area with a lava ball.

... but no matter how long I waited, nothing more happened.

Just on the quiet basement floor, all you can hear is me and Beat breathing.

"Now, what the hell..."

Looks like the guy who pulled Quina in isn't around anymore.

Are you saying the only aim was Quina...?

I want to go after Quina like this, that's how I honestly feel right now.

But I'm just as worried about Beat as that.

If we get into a fight ahead of us, we could get Beato involved in a narrow place like this.

Even if you don't, you seem ill these days.

…………

Take the quina or take Beato's safety.

No, it's settled.

"... Beat, once we get back to the castle"

Send this kid, then we'll find Quina.

At all times, I've decided to think of this girl first.

"...... Huh!!

But to my decision, Beato sweeps his neck beside the boom.

'Let's keep this up. Mr. Quina is full!

"Of course, I'm worried too... But --"

"I, like Mr. Divai, can do it all together. I'm going to give up the whole thing."

"No, you can't do that!

When looking for buried Joana, I know because I did it myself.

I need a lot of concentration and magic.

If I let Beato do that now--

I don't like that you can't make a fool of yourself for me! I don't like it any more than I do!

"Beat......"

"And Mr. Killier, when I went back, I was sifting. You really want to go, don't you?

... Shit, was it in your voice?

But I'm sure Beat said he was going to help, even if he didn't.

It's Beat who's nice to the bottom and can act for others.

That's where I was saved, and that's what I liked about it.

"... ok, if you can chase me, please. But don't do it as soon as you're feeling any worse."

"... Huh!

According to Beato, the guy who grabbed the quina seems to be moving slowly through the ground.

Follow the reaction, first to the former conference room.

The indoors lit up by lava balls looked as if they were different from what they once were.

Long desks and furniture are being brought out, and above all, the entrance to the underground corridor opens its mouth flat where there should have been a cupboard.

Mr. Gillius used it, the way the leaders made it for what if.

If that's all, it's just as I know it......

"... look, this. There are many signs of vandalism."

The boundaries between the room and the way out, plenty of footprints on softened soil.

Maybe it has something to do with a missing person who's out of town.

"Beato, let's go with care"

"... eh"

From here on out, be more careful.

Running through Beat's hand with his right hand, we set foot on a secret way out.

This loophole leads from the leader's shop to the main road in the woods east of Wang Du.

Apparently, the killer who took Quina is now moving through the dirt in this way.

"I'm stuck"

From now on, Beat has alternated with parchment paper that has been soaked.

I think he's letting Quina take his breath.

I don't know if it's dirt magic or some kind of gift, but in the ground, the operator suffocates the quina anyway.

"... Beat, are we still stopping?

"... eh"

Beat with 'stuck' up.

It's a long break, maybe Quina regained consciousness.

"All right, let's reduce the distance at once"

Just a little quicker, go down the aisle with the footprints on it.

When I walked and walked as fast as I could to get to a certain place so as not to be a burden to Beat.

"... Huh!

Quiet, Beato pulled my hand.

Of course I'll stop right there.

"What's wrong? Maybe you're not feeling well?

"... eh"

Sieve neck to side, then slam feather pen.

"If it's easy to hang out, it's not that way."

It was the dirt kabe that Beat pointed to, showing the parchment on which that was written.

There was no way this far apart.

That there are no quinas on the main road ahead...?

"... I wonder if there's anything about this kabe"

I think maybe, I'll put a kabe on it - I'll slap it.

Then, Concon, the light noise cracked like knocking Tovira in a clump.

If you illuminate your feet, there's a sudden (clinging) break in front of the kabe that leaves nagging footprints.

Definitely, this kabe is a hidden tobila made by someone.

The other side is hollow.

"Thanks for the help. I think I lost him here alone."

Thanks to Beato's magic detection.

Well, there's got to be a trick somewhere to open it, but I can't believe I'm lookin 'for hippos...

"Hey, Beat. Is the magic response still far?

"... Huh!

Cochlear and affirmative.

All right, then the story is easy.

"Stay away for a little while."

"... eh"

Lower the Beat, then put your hands on the Kabe and infuse it with magic.

Boil the tobila disguised as a dirt cabbage and turn it into a thin magma plate.

"This is how we do the rest..."

If I released the boiling magic at the end and then gently pressed him, the black hardened plate slowly collapsed and smashed and scattered, and the hidden passage appeared.

"All right. Beat, I'm coming."

"... Huh!

Beato, who nodded, still kept the 'clumped' paper on.

You should be able to catch up if you hurry.

It's obviously suspicious that it's a passage built on the way out.

Must have been made sneaky by the people who think about what never happens.

Grunting Beat's hand, he sometimes goes on checking things out.

Eventually, the light leaking from the bend got into my eyes.

"... eh"

Beato pulls by me too and nods small.

Definitely, the guy who took the quina is right there.

Unboil the lava ball so you can't find it, turn off the lights, and glance softly through the corners.

"... was there"

There was Quina and the other, a knight with long blonde hair.

At least I was the first face to see.

The knight's hands are lit with glowing stones.

Looks like he's replacing me with a lantern.

The two of us talked about something and so far it's working Nashi.

I guess I can keep Beat waiting here and ambush him......

"Okay......, Beat, wait here --"

"He's here, isn't he? It's no use hiding, brave man."

... Oh, he's found out...!

"Come out. It's okay. We're not going to fight each other unless it hits us from that side."

... Is it inevitable?

If you're finding out anyway, it's no use hiding, and I'll make sure you look good.

And this voice, strangely similar to Quina...?

"I was caught with my tail... Dear Celia, I'm sorry..."

"Don't worry about it. As an athlete, I need to talk to the brave man."

... No, no.

It doesn't look alike.

This is Quina's voice.

Because the other voice is totally different from Quina's.

It wasn't the killer I was talking to earlier --.

"Again, nice to meet you..."

When I show up, the quina that was behind me rises up and swoops toward me.

With the same voice, the same face, but a completely different tone, she removed her trademark glasses.
