Water smoke thickens as it falls.

Vision was rapidly deteriorating.

An unusually deep valley.

Was that good or bad?

But thanks to all that height, we were able to get in shape before we crashed into the ground.

Natsuki turns his hand around my neck, and I pull Natsuki's hips to support him, too.

"Nao-kun! The metastasis!?"

"I can't!"

Although it is a variety of convenient transfer magic, this magic needs to be activated with an idea of the current location and destination.

But we're changing positions in less than seconds.

In other words, the current location has changed between the preparation of the magic and its activation, a state that cannot be confirmed.

As long as we're moving around Gotgoto in the carriage, we'll figure it out, but at this speed, it's very impossible.

Because I didn't jump out without thinking either.

"" Aerial Walking "Walk On Air"!

I'm glad I did it, magic practice.

Ever since I knew the two layers of the situation, I've even been practicing this magic.

Wind magic, soak up all magic below that level.

As a result, it's safe to use - and you're not, are you?

The world isn't that sweet.

But the effort is not wasted again.

Guggly resistance is created underfoot, slightly decreasing fall speed.

Immediately afterwards, the resistance is lost and the fall begins again.

"Natsuki, put 'Light' down there!

"Yes!"

At the same time as responding, Natsuki flew three 'lights' at regular intervals, pointing downward.

"Nice!"

I can't see the bottom due to the thick fog, but I can confirm the light.

The magic of "light" can be moved at a constant distance from the operator, so if that light goes out or stops moving, that's the ground.

Since the light floats at intervals of about ten meters, you will know that if it reaches about thirty meters from the ground.

"'Aerial Walking', 'Aerial Walking', 'Aerial Walking'!

Incomplete magic.

The effect is half-effect and the magic used is half-effect.

Normally, if a human falls, there is a limit to acceleration in a free fall and the termination speed is reached relatively quickly.

In other words, if we are even seeing the ground, it is very inefficient to slow down the chimatima and speed, but as things stand, we cannot grasp the distance required to slow down from the termination speed - approximately 200 km/h - to a speed that can be safely landed.

'Cause 200 kilometers an hour falls over 50 meters in a second, huh?

Whether magic can be used once, even if the ground can be seen over 100 meters.

That's why we have no choice but to keep slowing down the drop.

- Oh, if this is the case, I should have prepared a parachute.

Even if it was incomplete, it would have added up somewhat.

Even though I realize it now, it's a later festival.

"'Aerial Walking' … 'Aerial Walking'"

Mm-hmm. Kind of sucks.

Today, I don't care about the rest, just because I've consumed magic before.

"" Mental Recovery "Recover Mental Strength". Good luck. "

"Ooh. 'Aerial Walking'"

Natsuki's magic makes me feel a little easier.

But it's just about time - I could see it!

"Surface!? Natsuki!

"Yes!"

Naturally if you think about it.

There was also a natural possibility that the cliffside was not a shoreline, but a river.

Fortunately in unhappiness is it a river that obviously looks deep?

On the contrary, the unfortunate part is that the flow seems pretty intense.

Bashan!!

Me and Natsuki's body sink deep into such river turbulence.

If this is the case, you should probably have practiced Breathing in the Water, too.

But if I had used my time to practice "breathing underwater," I couldn't even slow down on "walking in the air," so I might have crashed to death before drowning.

It's not like there's an infinite amount of practice time, and that would be an infinite amount of stuff.

It was us who breathed in just before we landed, diving deep into the water, but there was still no foot on the bottom of the river, and it flowed through the water into a heavy stream.

But I was lucky to have a nutty 'light'.

I rely on it to kick water toward the surface.

"Pfft! Natsuki, are you okay?!?"

"Oh, yeah, somehow..."

I couldn't move in a tight state, and when I said I was away, I and Natsuki grabbed each other's hands with my fingers tangled in a stream that didn't go off.

"Can you fly 'Light' around?

"Yes, wait a minute"

While being flushed with only my head out on the water, I rely on the 'light' emitted by the nuts to check the surrounding conditions.

By the way, one trick to avoid drowning when you are is not wasting your hands on the water.

The human body becomes buoyant if it is in the water, but when it is put out on the water, it becomes a load in reverse.

In other words, if you raise your arm on the water, on top of decreasing buoyancy for one arm, it becomes a load in reverse, making it easier to sink.

The best thing to do is put your head - precisely the part of your face on the water and wait for rescue, but that's a situation where rescue is possible, and that's also the case for the ocean.

In a situation where it's flowing into the river like we do now, it doesn't apply a little bit.

If you know the situation ahead, it's one option to be flushed until it's a gentle stream, but in a situation where you don't know what it is, that's pretty scary.

The danger that there might be waterfalls ahead, the danger that the flow might become even more intense and be beaten to the rocks, the danger that demons like Flying Gar might be in the river.

There's no point in coming up with it.

So what I can do now is try my best to crawl out of the river.

I look around to see if there's anywhere I can possibly go up...

"Is there any sand..."

The river will be over 20 meters wide where we are now being flushed.

Its two shores are cleaved cliffs, beneath which are bitter rocks.

It's better than a cliff with no place to grab it, but it seems a little dangerous to get hurt compared to the sand.

"Let's just think there's a rocky place that's better. Nao-kun, on that side."

"Oh."

Turn upstream to the left. Swim closer to the cliff where we fell and manage to grab the rock.

"Natsuki......!

"Yes!"

Push Natsuki up onto the rock, and I'll take her hand on it, too.

First, he exhales "Phew..." for his relief at moving to a safe place and his successful escape from a fast flowing river.

As synchronized to me like that, Natsuki breathes again, and we smile face to face.

"Fine, have you been flushed...?

"I was pretty desperate, too, so I don't know, but the flow was fast,"

Even looking up, what you see is a sky closed by white mist.

Of course I don't even know how high the cliff we fell.

Also, you can't even see the waterfall upstream, you just hear it roaring.

"In the meantime, I'll keep in touch"

"Yes. Can I do it twice?

That's what Natsuki took away while he said it was a whistle.

When I say whistle, it's a type of whistle that says caller, whistle, not a whistle as an instrument.

This whistle is an emergency whistle that we each have, prepared for the same purpose as a whistle in a so-called "so-called" emergency removal bag or something.

Ringing twice, by the way, is a signal to keep you safe.

Other methods of communication using light and mirrors are also decided, but they are not useful in the current situation.

It's not completely safe yet, but in a situation where our lives and deaths are uncertain, the Hulkas may not be able to do it.

"Yeah, that would be reasonable"

"Okay, I'll blow it"

When Natsuki breathes heavily and puts his mouth on the whistle, the bespoke whistle Tommy asks him to make sounds high.

Two high sounds echoing in the valley, like the sound of a waterfall, tearing its heavy bass apart.

And after clearing my ears for a while, from afar, twice, the same sound sounded.

Hearing that, me and Natsuki looked at each other and loosened their expression, exhaling loudly.

"Looks like you're safe over there."

"Right. I was worried about Toya up there when she collapsed..."

"We managed to avoid falling, didn't we? Put your sword on the ground."

Natsuki went down second from the end.

Toya was the only one left on top, but the moment the rock collapsed, his body seemed to float in space for a moment, but he grabbed it and hung on a sword protruding on the ground.

It seemed somewhat dangerous, but a quick decision in that situation is honestly impressive.

"But even if we go back with a metastasis, we need to wait for the magic to recover... it's a small place"

"Yes, you're a little restless"

The rock we crawled up is less than a tatami tatami, and it's not like it's a square block, so essentially the place to sit is about as much space as a slightly oblique tatami.

We're sitting there trying to get ourselves together, and Natsuki's right, we're pretty unsettled.

Furthermore, we fall into the river and get wet, surrounded by mist and slightly chilly temperatures.

Even if they tell me to restore my magic in this state, I can't.

"Let's dry our clothes first. Anyway, Nao-kun might catch a cold."

"[Stubborn] can't be overconfident, either."

Only [stubborn] is in me, as opposed to Natsuki, who has high levels of [stubbornness] up to [disease tolerance].

Fortunately, no one has gotten sick among us in the past year, but that should have affected our efforts to avoid imposing ourselves too much.

I don't think [stubborn] is such a powerful skill that I don't get sick under any circumstances.

"Well, Natsuki, please."

"Yes." Purification "Purificate" "

Natsuki's magic eliminates the slightest bit of underwear and refreshes it at once.

Well, that condition is also in a small amount of time, and when it comes to the clothes you're wearing on top, the fog quickly makes you jimmy.

"Thankyou. Natsuki's here, thank God"

"No. Nao-kun can also dry it in" Dry, "right?

"I can, but if I don't take my clothes off, it's tough."

'Dry' of water magic made by Hulka.

You can dry wet clothes with this, but it's a little dangerous magic to use while wearing it.

My skin dries up, to the extent, I can only laugh, but failing it doesn't make me a bit stylish.

Well, no organisms and no organisms.

Compared to the latter, magic is more difficult to work with overwhelmingly, so unless you make a weird mistake, it won't be fatal.

I want to avoid showing off strips in front of nuts, and being bare in such a narrow place in the first place is too dangerous in many ways.

We're wearing clamshots too, so if we slip our hands and drop them in the river or something... imaginatively, it's like a luxury car going on and on.

Hulka will definitely be mad at you for lethally injuring your wallet.
