The adventurer who visited the Ville-Zentra guild that day may have noticed a different vibe than usual.

…………

That's a little uncomfortable.

"Hih!?"

All the more so if you're a magician —— a sign of intense magic. Feel like I'm about to be squashed. Nevertheless, we do not see any human emitting that magic, and as always inside - although slightly smaller in number - the adventurer is searching for the request.

It was Lavia who worked out the most magic in the Alliance building, at the end of the day. Turning to Hikaru, "Notice. Notice," he increases the purity of magic.

Lavia had two "life blockades," "magic blockades," and "perceptual blockades" each, but the magic that activated them in full and still couldn't be hidden stood up.

That's when he seemed to pop in the spiritual wizard who was standing still at the entrance to the guild. On the side, holding a little woman.

"--Huh!"

Lavia looks up hacked. He's —— he's wearing a silver mask. He comes straight this way.

"Paula's been taken."

Ravya answers with a cocky nod. But from the surroundings, Hikaru, who hasn't used "secret", won't be able to see Lavia anyway —— and the "secret" is accidentally unraveled, and a person with a silver mask on the same black cloak appears there and the adventurers are a little bit.

By the way, it's Deena who's holding me by the side and relaxing. Hikaru runs at all costs to get here, and is in a glocky state with its swings.

Not that I know of.

Rather, it's convenient because they don't listen to me.

"There was a little raid this morning after Hikaru left the hotel. Soon after using magic —— I was safe and Koo got away with it, but Paula..."

"Right."

Lavia is still trying to hold her sleeping koo. The body is already in its pre-sleep appearance.

Hikaru is turning his mind around. More than Hikaru imagines. Spies over there are spreading their information networks to Ville-Zentra. It won't be overnight, so there's a good chance the spy team was landing here where the Grussels surrounded Dew-Roch Island.

He told Lavia and Paula to watch out for tails while they were acting on their black capes. But they're amateurs too.

In fact, he was defeating monsters and raising the "Soul Rank (Level)" when traveling from the Union of Foresters to Pound. Paula had been granted two of the same "hidden" series as Lavia, but if you still walk in the bright day, the well-behaved will find out.

It caught the attention of some people because of it, or, they found it in the spy himself. It's not so hard to find a room to stay in Hikaru's outfit as long as you're seen walking into a hotel.

Humans over there, starting with Giggy, have a high level of Soulboard skills. The raided Lavias would have been spotted even if they had used "secrecy".

"I'm sorry... I couldn't protect you. You can use magic! I was the only one who helped, and I thought I had to contact you, but --"

Only Lavia helped because they were after Paula alone.

It's not Lavia's fault. It's my mistake to sweetly look at the "desperation" over there —— and Hikaru bit his lip.

"--It's okay. I'll take it back."

Hikaru put his hands on Lavia's head.

"But Paula could have been put on the boat by now."

"I can catch up. Take this guy and he'll be an interpreter"

And, point to Deena.

"Bye, then, me too!

"No, you stay here. You can't take a koo in that state."

"That's... yeah... ok"

Regrettably but reluctantly —— Lavia nodded nonetheless.

"If that's the best way to help Paula..."

"Of course."

Hikaru laughed and showed it —— but his eyes behind the mask weren't laughing at all.

I'm gonna make them regret what they did to us.

As Lavia said, Paula had already been put on a warship. On his mouth he bit a monkey grub, his hands tied behind his back.

'What do you mean, Gorgia? Periodic contact last night told me to secure one of the Recovery Wizards. Other than that, I didn't know you were going to grab a girl like this... and where's Deena'

It's like a storage room close to the bottom of the ship. There are Grussel, the commander, and several other proximities, and even Paula, tied up with the apostle Gorgia, plus the spies who have carried Paula.

The recovery wizard brought by Villeocean knight Luc, along with the other escort knights, is guided to the rooms. There were a total of 10 of you.

'I went to see Deena last night. I would have planned to take Deena out, but she told me about this recovery wizard. Seems quite skilled.'

"More than a knight like Luc brought in?

'Yes —— uh, no, to be precise, we don't have the criteria to be able to judge the arm of a healing wizard. So you'd rather have one, wouldn't you? I don't have time for this anymore. "

'... Deena says that's all right?

Here's what Grussel meant when he asked. "Is Deena willing to die" --.

Gorgia nodded.

"Right......"

When Grussel thought about it, under his feet, he said, "Hmm! Mmm!" Paula raised her protest.

'... let's tell this person what's going on. And ask for help. If you can help me, I promise you my life.'

That would be Grussell's idea of letting Paula go on exchange terms and let Deena go. The Gorgians were sympathetic to such a Grussell.

"-- Hey, Untie the Monkey Guru"

When one of the nearest sides unwraps Paula's monkey groove, Grussel says,

"Listen, there's something I want"

"I won't give in if I do this! Help is coming soon!" "Ask us to help. That way, life will be."

"I'm so strong! He's amazing!

"... talk, listen"

He was a sighing Grussell, but he bowed his head deeply toward Paula.

"I need your help."

…………

This behavior was surprising. Paula also looks at him vigilantly without raising her voice.

"Cooperation, if there is, life helps"

"... we will not cooperate"

"Rewards, too, give"

"... no. That's not what this is about. My powers can only be used for someone. Even if my life was gone, I decided I wouldn't use it for him anymore."

It was now the turn of Grussell and other men to marvel at their strong rejection, their beliefs to the point of stubbornness.

To the fact that a girl who is not even military had so much faith.

"Besides, even if this is on the ocean, that guy is sure to come and help me. He helped me whenever I was in a pinch."

Paula, grinning, had perfectly believed in that future. But Grussel thinks that "can't happen". Because this ship is already moving. It is planned to stay further and further away from the land, first stop at Dew-Roch Island and soon head to the Grand Dream Continent.

Already in the naval battle the technical level of the Villeosean ship is grasped. On a military ship, there will be nothing to keep up with the speed of this ship.

I had to wait until this girl was desperate and ready to cooperate with me here —— when Grussell thought.

"Commander! Commander, come!

The hallway became noisy. I hear someone came running because there are no voice tubes or anything in this room.

'What is it? Was there a problem with the Wizard of Recovery?

The door opened, and when Grussell spoke to the soldiers who came in,

"Nah, something (...) is approaching us with tremendous momentum"

"... What is it, what is it? Make the report clearer."

'That's what I don't know! It's just that there are ripples at sea and something (...) gliding down the ocean with a little momentum!

It was also when Grussel slapped his neck in a report that did not give us the guidelines.

Dwon, the whole ship shook with the sound of

An alarm sounds announcing an emergency alert.

"No way--"

Grussel looks back at Paula.

She smiled and said:

"It's amazing."

and.
