A rock mass that makes a roar and falls over a rock shelf.

Sounding Hulka screams.

And falling, Nao and Natsuki.

They happened almost simultaneously.

At the time of the fall of the cliff, the Hulkas fled the distress by evacuating to the side of the passage, which was a form of shelter inside the rock shelf, but it also took distance from Nao and from the falling Natsuki.

"Na, Nao, my brother, he fell!

"Wah, wah, duh, what shall we do!?"

Hulka answers quietly when Hulka exhales to Marys, who, with her bloody blue face, looks awfully hasty.

"Calm down. Nao didn't fall. I jumped myself."

"... don't jump without thinking about it?

"Yep. Nao has no idea. I can trust you with that."

Though it is the voice color that sounds calm, such a hulka's complexion is bad, and his hand is gripped hard.

And as the earthen smoke cleared by the collapsed rock wall, rushing over to the edge of the rock shelf, he peered underneath.

But all you see there is white water smoke.

I don't see Nao and Natsuki at all.

As you would have understood, once again they show reality, and Hulka holds his fist harder.

When Yuki, standing next to him, gently gripped Hulka's fist and stroked her to loosen her strength, Hulka shook her neck gently and took a deep breath, shook Yuki's hand back.

"Relax, okay?

"Yeah, I know. I know..."

A voice hung from behind Hulka, who repeatedly told herself rather than Yuki.

"What do you say?

When Hulka looked back at that voice, there stood Toya, who had come down at some point.

"Toya... that was fast"

"Right. That's the situation. He came down right away. The rope ladder is down there."

Toya, pointing behind her as troubled, sighs deeply.

What collapsed earlier was the part where the rope ladder was secured, and if it fell as it were, it would be natural for the rope ladder to be its underlay.

Of course, some of it is visible, but in order to recover it, we need to let the rock mass go higher than Toya's height.

"What do we do? Why don't you use the longest rope and I'll come down at once?

"It's..."

Comparing the face of serious Toya to the cliffside, the temporarily meditated Hulka shook his head slowly.

"In the absence of Nao, you shouldn't. [Sovereign] I think Toya can do it, but Flying Gur, and the unknown enemy. Too risky."

"Right. - Are you calm?

"Because that's what I consider myself to be. You can't even look at Nao."

With that said, Hulka strokes her left hand, around its pharmacopoeia, to calm her mind.

"As far as I'm concerned, I think it's somewhat good. So Halka, Nao had an idea and acted, he said...?

"Yep. At the time we found out this hierarchy was happening, Nao and I were practicing" Walk On Air "with a lot of effort. It's still incomplete, but we should be able to slow it down. - I'm better at it, so I really should have jumped."

"It was a bad place, wasn't it? Besides, when you break up with two people, Harka, Natsuki, and everything else, it's not balanced, so I guess Nao's going and you're right?

"Right. The Space-Time Wizard and the Light Wizard, they just split up, didn't they? He's lucky to be unhappy. Wouldn't Nao's metastatic magic allow him to come right back? If you're alive."

"Toya brother!!"

"Mr. Toya, it's terrible!

"Ugh!

Immediately protests came in from two youths to Toya, who added unnecessary words.

Physically as well as verbally.

Toya leaks a little groan and holds her belly to that power, which is a little powerful to say a child's punch.

Only the cladding is not that strong against impact.

"Well, well, both of you. Toya has no offense... no offense, right?

Of course, he was gazed at by Hulka, and Toya shook his head up and down with a boom at high speed.

"Not at all. Toya's not in the right time.... In the meantime, let's fill the transfer point here. Maybe he'll come back to the entrance."

"Right. Let's wait here first."

"I'll dig up the rope ladder. I hope it's not broken..."

"You'll need to check, wire, but it's underneath the rocks."

"Toya, can you ask? The truth is, I guess it's a good idea to use my magic..."

"I'll take care of it. The magic has to stay warm. Biggest rocks are tough... but if you can't crush them, then please"

Copy that.

"Me too."

"I'll help too"

"Well, let's be careful not to pack our hands."

The large rocks that have collapsed are about one metre wide and two metres high, but the majority are about a hug of rocks.

Even such a rock would not spare a fracture if it fell out of balance and over the hands and feet.

A voice hung from Hulka to Toya, who first looked at the whole thing and wondered where to start.

"Toya, don't throw that rock down there by mistake, okay?

"- Whoa, you did. Yeah. Of course you do, don't you?

It was, and I don't think he even knows it, but Hulka doesn't scratch it, and he looks under the cliff with his arms together.

In such a state of Hulka, Toya and Yuki look at each other and shrug their shoulders silently, parting with Mary and moving the rock towards the aisle.

And as for the biggest rock, Toya broke it in two for kicking it down, and managed to deal with it without using magic.

It was a rope ladder recovered that way......

"A little suspicious?

"Yeah. Maybe I'm just a little anxious to put my life in this?

The left and right wires are not cut, but the metal crosswood on which the feet are placed, this has bent several places and the wires are also scratched, making them a little questionable in terms of safety.

"This is a repair -"

"Shit!"

Haruka puts her finger on her mouth and sharply controls Yuki's conversation with Toya, who was testing the rope ladder.

Peep, peep.

"Coming!

What I heard was the sound of a high whistle.

"Twice. Looks like you're safe!

Yuki exhales relieved, and Hulka's rugged face loosens a little too.

"Yeah. The whistle, that helped."

"When Nao suggested it, I thought I wouldn't use it..."

By Nao's suggestion, the whistles they each have, in case they fall off.

By the number of ringing it, the Hulkas had decided in advance to give a signal so that they could communicate.

Although it seems primitive, there is nothing convenient about communication magic, so the truth is that whistle is an excellent means of communication.

On top of the sound being delivered in kilometers, if you make a decent object, the sound sounds pretty good.

Its functionality can be said to be adequate because it still hears the sounds of the waterfall and it has arrived well.

By the way, the signals they were deciding on were three SOS rescues, two signals to let them know they were safe, and one just a signal.

Other than that, there are signals that determine several kinds in length, like the Morse code, but the only thing I remember that to some extent is about Halka, a state where even Natsuki and Yuki can't figure it out completely without looking at the corresponding table.

"But it was good!

"Yes! - Oh, I need to respond!

"Right! Uh... Toya, can you do me a favor?

"Whoa. That's good twice, right?

"Yep."

When Toya, who had taken the whistle away, took it in her hand and confirmed it to Hulka, she nodded immediately.

"Bye..."

Toya inhales heavily and, like the whistle sounds she hears, blows loudly twice.

"Phew...... Will you be back in a while?"

"Probably! It's a long way from hearing a whistle, so Nao should be able to transfer with Natsuki."

Hulka also breathed a little relieved of Yuki, who said so forcefully...

"You're not coming!

"No, I don't care if you tell me that..."

I was in a good mood for the first minute or two, Hulka, but after that I started to move my legs with a little impatience, and after five minutes I finally ran out of patience.

"What do you mean? Could it be that Nao's lack of magic...?

"That could be possible, too." Walk On Air "is still incomplete, isn't it? It's not stupid to consume magic."

It is well known to the wizard team that using the magic of disproportionate minutes consumes so much magic that it becomes immobile for a while.

Hulka also remembers that.

"Then I can't come back for the time being...?

"Mr. Hulka, I had two signals with a whistle. Don't you have to worry about that much?

"Nao, if you and Natsuki are going to be okay! Toya, you're not like your brother!

"... right"

Toya drops his jaw stunned against Hulka, who is told by the youth group and regains his composure again.

"What a contrary sense of trust! That's how I treat you!?"

"It's about whether magic works or not. Right, Meatier?

"Huh?... Ugh, yeah! It is!

Yuki asked me, and Meetia nodded as she panicked.

A young girl who can read the air properly. Exactly.

"Absolutely not!

But unfortunately, they didn't get through to Toya.

Naturally.

"... well, I'm sure you have a better chance of survival than I do of falling ~"

With a little dissatisfaction, you're not sure you're beating the Natsukis when it comes to calm and circumstantial judgment, and Toya looked up on the cliff, blurring, not saying any more.

"Nao, maybe you went back to the entrance? You told me you were going back to level 20 when you finished this, right?

"That's possible, too. Yuki, can you do me a favour?

Hulka said, 'Can you?' and takes the form of a question, but its gaze is rather 'I won't let you say you can't'.

Yuki, who was turned such a gaze, snorted and affirmed only.

"but good luck! Not much magic, though!

Soon everyone gathers around Yuki to meditate his eyes and concentrate his consciousness in an attempt for Yuki to activate his magic.

But...

"... that?

"What's going on?

Hulka, anxiously frowned, asks Yuki, who opened her eyes and leaned her little neck in a bit of a hurry.

"Uh... metastasis, I can't, maybe?

With a dry laugh, Yuki replied so.
