Salvation

Going back a bit.

Shallot said to others, after parting with Owen.

“Let’s break the barriers.”

“How do we do that?”

Emilia asks the question.

“It’s not that hard to figure out what caused it.”

Shallot continues confidently.

“A magic circle and a magic stone are essential to put up such an extensive barrier, and breaking them will stop the barrier.”

“Yes. ……”

Emilia indicates her agreement.

But shortly after.

“But isn’t it better to stop the miasma than to break the barrier?”

Emilia said.

“Perhaps …… will resolve both at the same time, just watch for a moment.”

After Shallot said that, she shot a fireball into the sky.

Then, as if the fireball had hit the barrier, it slipped through the barrier and disappeared outside.

When Shallot saw the scene, she was convinced, “I knew it.”

“What do you mean?”

“This barrier is not a physical barrier, it is a barrier that confines the designated substance, more specifically, it is a barrier that confines the miasma.”

After being told that much, Emilia understood what Shallot was trying to say.

The phenomenon that is happening in the school district – the demonization phenomenon – is caused by people absorbing too much miasma.

The fact that the miasma is kept at bay by the barrier means that if the barrier is broken, the demonization phenomenon can be suppressed.

“By destroying the barrier and allowing the miasma to mingle with the outside air, the miasma will fade and the demonizing will stop.”

“That’s right.”

Shallot nods her head in affirmation.

“We have to find and destroy the magic stones that provide the magic power for the magic circle, and then our mission is complete.”

“Then we’ll have to find the magic stone.”

However, it would take a lot of time to search every corner of this school town.

Emilia’s anxiety aside, Shallot replied, “I’ve got an idea.”

“I’m not going to go into detail, but if it wasn’t for that, the magic circle wouldn’t be possible.”

“The point is to get to the center of the barrier, then I’ll take you there in an instant.”

In the center of the barrier, it is the training center of the primary school.

The miasma in that direction is more dense and easier to spot.

“It’s going to get a little rough, but bear with me.”

Emilia concentrated on controlling her magic.

She imagines Owen.

Emilia has seen Owen run freely up in the sky many times.

And she had a desire to fly, too.

Because of it, she can imagine Owen in flight more vividly.

Imagination becomes reality.

“Wind Waker.”

A gust of wind pushed the three of them up into the sky.

Although it is a bit unstable to call it flight magic, the girls are indeed floating in the sky.

Emilia’s image of running through the air became even more powerful.

And

“Unshackled to the earth, we fly.”

The wind wrapped around the girls and the blast launched them high into the sky.

“Go, go, go, go!”

Emilia shouted with strangely high tension, and the three of them moved through the sky at high speed in response.

Unlike Owen’s flight magic, it doesn’t allow her to move freely through the air.

Just fly straight to the destination.

But in this case, it was enough.

Because what they need now is to get to their destination in the shortest possible time.

The ride was unsteady and dizzying, and the two of them, except Emilia, were affected.

But it was worth it, and the girls were soon in front of their destination.

Emilia lets her magic break once.

But with the momentum they had gained, the girls formed a parabola and fell into the primary training camp.

With the two targeted people at her back, Emilia used magic.

“Come on– water column.”

The water column acted as a cushion, catching the three of them.

However, even so, they couldn’t kill the impact and the girls hit the ground with great force.

“Ouch,” Shallot shouted, falling on her butt.

Fortunately, there were no noticeable injuries to the three of them, and it can be said that the landing was successful for the time being.

After reaching her destination safely, Emilia quickly checks her surroundings.

“I don’t think we have time for this.”

Shallot and Farren follow Emilia to check their surroundings.

Surrounding the girls were monsters wearing the uniform of Sanzar Academy.

They are pathetic students who were forced to change their appearance by the demonization phenomenon.

Shallot squeezed her mouth shut.

“These guys are students at the …… Academy, right?”

No wonder Shallot frowned at her.

It’s only natural that seeing a student from the same school in a bizarre state would cause an emotional upheaval.

Perhaps some of these people might be acquaintances of Shallot and the others.

At that thought, Shallot held her mouth.

She managed to hold back from vomiting, but the vomit was building up in her throat.

“Ugh. ……”

Like Shallot, Emilia’s heart was not at peace.

Rather, it is abnormal to be able to remain calm under these circumstances.

Emilia also felt like letting it out here if she could.

It’s too horrific a sight.

Even in the midst of all this, only Farren seemed unconcerned.

Seeing Farren like that, Emilia wondered how she could be so unconcerned.

“You two watch, and I will save them.”

Farren told them with clear, unclouded eyes.

She turns her eyes like amethyst gems to the monsters and spins a chant with a voice of compassion.

“The ideal of an untainted mind and heart, and the power of a saint to barrier off evil.”

With Farren at the center, the white light spreads out in a circle.

The movements of the monsters touched by the light stopped, they lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

Immediately after, a black haze mist is released from the monster’s body and is purified by white light.

Then they transformed back from monsters to humans and they slept peacefully.

Shallot, who had been watching the sequence of events, let out a gasp of admiration, “Great ……”

The white light converged on Farren.

Farren intertwines her hands and prays silently as if praying to God.

Farren is what she is today because of her various experiences and hardships.

Once, there were those who could not be saved, and she has tried to prevent them from experiencing the same sorrow again.

Farren’s wish was granted and she was thus able to save the students.

It is not a feeling that simulates others, like Sophie, but the result of Farren’s own desire to save and accomplish.

“Thank you, Farren.”

Elimia says, and Farren smiles back.

Farren expression was as serene as a holy mother’s, and Emilia couldn’t help but admire her, even though she was of the same sex.
