While Wasat stepped forward with his water tentacle, we entered the ruins that existed in the lake.
I really thought that I should act with the healing magic rabbit now, but in that situation, I decided to move so that I wouldn't get in the way of the rabbit.
― ― ― A ruin where half of the city sank into a sunken lake.
Although the ruins themselves were immersed in water, there are countless inlets that lead to the inside like a membrane of air, and from there, there is no water, but a dark space.
"You guys, check your baggage right now."I don't know what's going to happen, so you need to know what you have. "
Ha!
Subordinates who follow Koga's instructions to confirm the luggage they each have.
As I watched, I looked up... at the entrance behind me.
The entrance was closed from the side you entered.
“Yeah. Looks like someone who built this trap wants to trap us here.”
The entrance we entered was now closed by a stone wall.
With the torch on immediately, it wasn't completely dark, but the ruins are likely to take longer to explore than I expected.
Can you break it, Kannagi?
"I can... but the ruins themselves may collapse with a bad shock."It can be crushed by water pressure due to the time difference, and it is dangerous to think with prediction and magic. "
If so, can't the wall be broken?
It seems difficult to rendezvous with Wasato from here.
"Ugh, but for the time being, I've broken into that kind of place."You're so out of line with the rabbit. "
"She's fine, isn't she?"
Yeah, they'll be in the ruins anyway.
I'm scared of your comments, because I think you've known each other for the longest.
Korga's cheeks pull at Nea and my words.
In fact, I don't think there's enough power in that water to catch a rabbit.
"Often forgotten, Rosato and I have a contract for the use of magic."So if anything happens to that person, I'll know immediately. "
"Huh, is that so?" What's it like to be a rabbit now? "
"Very well."
"I can only imagine what it's like..."
If Nea says so, I'm relieved.
In the first place, I will definitely foresee a future in which Rasat will be in danger.
Thinking like that, Kannagi, who was wary of his surroundings, spoke to Koga.
“Korga, we should move on as soon as we can.”
"What? Why?"
"I'm afraid we won't be able to rendezvous with Wasato here."Our goal is the same, and we may be able to rendezvous with the rabbits if we go ahead and get to our destination. ”
"... surely he might think the same."
Koga, who had been bothered for a few seconds by putting his hand on his chin, scratched his head in a troublesome manner.
"Haha, I'm not good at using my head like this, but let's go through these gloomy ruins first."There's Hannah over there, and the rabbit will be fine. "
"Fu... Captain! I think Hannah is very worried about her mental health!!"
Koga shows his reflection on the point made by one of his subordinates, Nono-san.
Sure looks like Hannah's in a lot of trouble.
"... yes, it's going to be tough"
"It seems to me that the two of you are referring to something else......?"
Me and Nea nodded to the crooked look.
No matter how much we spend together, the rabbit will act beyond our expectations.
It's hard to be swayed by that... but it's also because I trust him to show me the way to break things down if I turn around.
●
"... ahhh, it's soaking wet..."
When I dived into the lake, I didn't see where the good Kogas had gone, so I jumped into the hole I had set up for now.
I was going to look a little inside and look for another entrance, but the hole that got in quickly was blocked by a rock and I couldn't get out.
"... it's dark."
Attach the healing elastic shell created in your hand to the wall.
The green light of healing magic illuminates the passage, and while checking the solid scaffolding, more healing elastic bullets are made and thrown at the end of the passage.
"There is no reaction to the healing sensation....... will you be all right? "
There are no enemies around.
While confirming that, I let out Hannah and Looney, who were wrapped in dark magic on their backs.
Hannah, who was still holding Roone in a stun, stepped out of my back with a squeeze.
"Eh, is it here...?"
“Inside the ruins. Looks like we're trapped.”
"No, why!?"
"I enjoyed diving."
The response was a kick to the shin.
Does the demon woman have a grudge against my shin?
“Calm down, it's an auger joke to get you up and running.”
"It's a fine joke for anyone but you, but I don't think it's a joke for you...!!"
"I am thought to be the one who really enjoy swimming in such a situation...?"
Normally shocked.
And then, Roone wakes up right next to me listening to the exchange between me and Hannah.
"... nnh, onhaha..."
"Good morning. Do you want some sweets?"
Wussat, keep this man away from my ram and Rosé.
Keira says that to Hannah, who doesn't hesitate to give her portable food from her own little bag.
I don't think it's easy to be a better person than a senior in a limited situation.
Well, I know that you like children rather than small children, but it doesn't feel that dangerous.
Rather, as someone who knows Ms. Hannah's past, she also understands how it feels to have a younger child with her sister, so it's a complicated mood.
Sighing with all sorts of things, I sat down and knelt down to match the gaze of Roone, who was cheeking her portable food.
"...... Roone, explain the situation now."Just calm down and listen to me. "
"Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Explain to her how she entered this ruin.
I don't have time for details because of the situation, but Roone nodded to understand.
"Maybe there's a Shia here, right?"
"I still don't know that. But I think it's very likely."
"Nevertheless, I will follow you."
I'm worried that Hannah is going to stubbornly crush my flank from behind, but I've decided what I need to do now.
"Maybe the Amakos are going to rendezvous with us as we move into the ruins, so we'll go into the ruins and rendezvous with everyone."
“That's right, I don't think we can break it and move on, and I think we should move on.”
Nagi-san, Koga, and his men were over there, which was far too powerful.
In addition to that, there were Nea and Amako, and they were fine as long as there was nothing else to do.
"Let's move on quickly."...... before that...... "
I give Looney the healing elastic shell I made in my hand.
"Why are you giving this to me?"
"It's a light, so light up your feet."
"... amazing, don't do that."
Roone touches the healing elastic in a strange way.
It will disappear over time, but you can give it to me again.
"Hey, even Keira and Hannah."
Thank you!
"It's really useful in a strange place, isn't it?Ahh, even though the user is like this, the healing magic is warm..... "
"Please don't treat me like a bad person..."
Keira wanted it somehow, so I gave it to her.
Now, where everyone has the light, I point forward. [M]
Do you all have healing magic!! Then start exploring!!
Oh!
Ooh!
"What is this strange motivation...?"
The four of us will rendezvous with the Amakos as we explore the ruins...!!
To do this, let's start by going through this ruin wrapped in darkness!!
But it's much bigger than it looks from the outside.
Sure. It's creepy like a maze inside.
What the hell is this place made for?
Throwing a magic bullet while sensing a healing sensation, what you can see as you move through the ruins is like a pattern engraved on a stone pillar or wall.
"I'm sure it belongs to Roone-chan's ancestors... but at a time when we're building such a civilization in such a dangerous place, the contents of the ruins don't seem normal."
"My race of humans may still be somewhere?"
"... I'm sorry, I can't say it's impossible... I can only say it now."
Hannah apologized to Looney, looking sorry she didn't want you to have any hope.
“You don't have to apologize. I'm not telling you how meeting the same species will change now, but if you look the same, I can trust you."
"Looney-chan..."
But you're a little scared. Go away.
Ah, Hannah collapsed from her knee.
When I smiled bitterly and radiated magic power in front of me, I sensed two reactions to magic power sensing.
I'll beat Hannah and Roone in the back.
"Mr. Wasato?"
"Shh. There's someone there. The number of people may be two, because the healing magic does not work, so the demon side may have prepared the corpse."
Well then, I'll be right behind you, so please protect me.
Isn't it too quick?
"At least I think you can support me with phantom magic..."
"Eh... but since my phantom magic doesn't work, it's okay to get involved with you as usual."Well then, leave it to me! "
Sometimes you're so happy with a declaration that you're being attacked on the back by an ally...?
Well, Hannah's Phantom Magic is powerful, so if the fight gets prolonged, her support will help us get closer to where there's a reaction.
"...... muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
It came out in a very large space.
Looks like a passage bigger than before, but I'll see who's hanging out on the edge of the wall.
I created healing magic in my hand, and when I illuminated it, it was there ---,
”Behhhh, Wasato-kun...!?”
Aul-san!?
There was Aul, who looked at me and pulled her cheeks, and one of the twins, the Dark Wizard, who somehow grabbed the hem of her clothes and was able to revive the corpse that had attacked me a short while ago.
"Oh, hey, you're the Usato-kun."I-It's an odd opportunity. "
“Hello, Aul. It's a strange thing to see you there.”
……
……
Strange silence dominates the dark ruins.
Unexpected circumstances, but given what's happened and why we're in this situation right now, there's no way we're going to miss her here.
"Runes"
"... you're the enemy, aren't you?"
"No... but you got the other one."
"All right."
At the same time that I was emitting magic power, Roone was wearing a dark magic coat.
Wrapped in a black flame, she transformed into a leopard-like animal and flew to the Dark Wizard's child next to Mr. Aul.
"I don't really understand your sister. She was attacked by a monster!?"
"I'm your opponent!"
"Geez!? That's right!? I've raided you so many times!!"
Aur absorbed the instant healing fist with his shock magic.
At that moment, I came close to him and wielded the healing magic wrapped around my hands.
"If you're here, it means that the devil is here after all!!"
"Ahh, it's a bit confusing...!!"
Even if you get upset, Aur-san will prevent my fist with a sword held in a sheath pulled from your waist.
Each time I waved my arms, I created a magic bullet and fired it with my fist.
"So please listen to me!!"
"... a story?"
The opponent didn't want to pull the sword just because it was blocking the attack, so he pulled his fist at a distance.
Looking at me, with a reassuring expression on her face, Aur-san then looked puzzled when he saw a healing magic bullet with a light green light stuck around her arms, shoulders, and flanks.
Huh? Why did you give me magic bullets?
“Rest assured. (...) The bursting shell is not attached yet.I wanted to talk to you before I caught you in earnest. "
As it is now, it is only a sphere of healing magic with weak normal potency.
However, if the battle resumes like this, the next attack will be a combination of explosive shells and system enhancements.
"... this is a normal magic bullet, right?"
"Yeah, that's a regular magic bullet, right?"
"I don't know. My instincts don't feel good about this."
Did you unconsciously realize the danger of that healing magic bullet?
... that's exactly what Rose's lieutenant was entrusted with.
The ability to sense danger is reminiscent of Rose's supernatural imagination.
……
Mr. Aul is not hostile to us.
... no, this guy hasn't been aiming for hostility, but he's not going to fight here.
Not one of the twin Dark Wizards that Roone had captured seemed to resist.
I release my stance with a sigh. [M]
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
”Let me just briefly explain... we were separated from the devil”
"... what is it?"
Did you get away with the devil?
Under what circumstances would it be possible for Mr. Aul, who is on the side of the devil, to escape?
Wasn't it the devil who set it up in the first place?
