753 Who takes over the off-the-beaten-track edition

- Mickey's point of view -

Return to the inn while escorting Arias and the others.

As expected, we can't keep this number alone, so four people are secretly escorted.

Huh?

It looks like Druid's gaze is turning toward the guard he's hiding... I see this.

Oh, I saw it.

Let's laugh.

Mr. Druid is really sharp, isn't he?

I feel something similar to my father.

Definitely would be a disaster if I turned it against my enemies.

My father is usually a good commander, but if you make him angry, it's horrible.

When I really saw the cut condition, my hips fell off.

Well, I was only six years old when I was born, so I couldn't help it.

I don't have to pull my hips out now.

I'm sure.

Nevertheless, I'm a little worried about your father's condition.

She had a slightly impatient expression on her face.

I hid it, but it's my family.

I intend to understand the change.

Is something wrong?

... once Arielus and the others are safely delivered to the inn, I think I'll go and see my father.

What's that?

There's something wrong with Mr. Druid.

Separate action?

You know I'm an escort?

Nhh, I can't help it because I'm really not feeling well.

Oh, I got a secret apology.

Is this a state of helplessness?

Well, let's give Ivy one more escort.

Send a signal to the people in hiding, and Arias and the others will return to the inn first.

Mr. Druid, you look very pale.

I'm a little worried, so I'll tell Mr. Chagu to keep an eye on things.

When I arrived at the inn, Kagu greeted me.

A fellow who, while assisting me, has the role of protecting the people who stay in this inn.

I'm relentless enough to protect you.

Chagu-san, who owns the store, is relentless, but the two of them are the strongest.

Once upon a time, I was contacted to capture three adventurers sent from the church in the capital city, so I came to collect them.

The three captured people cried out to me when I came to pick them up, "Get me out of here."

I was surprised by that.

What on earth am I supposed to do, an adventurer man of a good year crying in earnest?

After seeing that Druid and Ivy are back at the inn, I leave Kagu to go to the vigilante.

One of my colleagues came next to me and informed me of the situation of Arias and the others.

Now, what do we do?

If we let him attack the inn to get him, Druid will cut us off.

If Ivy could get a scratch... oh, just imagine the chill.

An assassin sent from the church would be easier to deal with.

Yeah, let's get him.

When I said "captive," my companion nodded and left.

The fortune-teller and his guards are about to capture Leah.

It seems that the King's Capital has instructed us not to wait until we get to this village.

Maybe you want to catch a fortune-teller who came out of the church a day early.

Or do you want to get rid of it as soon as possible?

... I wonder if it's disposed of.

"Father, are you there?"

Knock on the office door where your father is supposed to be.

"Mickey? You can come in."

Kachiri.

Tilt your neck to the sound of the lock opening.

What's the matter with you when you hardly ever lock your office?

“What's the matter? Lock the door."

When you get in, lock the door.

Close the key immediately to your father's atmosphere.

A large amount of paper documents on the desk.

Pull aside and grab one.

"Father, this."

The magic circle was depicted on the paper in my hand.

Even if I looked at the other documents, all the magic circles were drawn.

I was worried about my father's condition.

I heard that there were people who were fascinated by the magic circle.

Did your dad tell you that?

I'm worried, but it's my usual dad who's checking the paperwork with all his heart.

No, I may be looking at the paperwork more seriously than usual.

"Hmm? Ah, it's okay. I wasn't obsessed with the magic circle. I was just looking for a magic circle. I can't find it."

"That's right."

As for the magic circle, I couldn't help it.

For some reason, my father really hated being involved in the magic circle.

That's why I've tried to stay out of it.

But I think it's time to talk about the magic circle.

I decided to live as a human being in the organization.

Your father needs to be prepared.

"There it is. Here it is."

When I look at your father, a deep wrinkle is engraved between his eyebrows.

Looks like something bad has happened.

My father is sending me anger.

After a long time, my body trembles a little at this feeling.

After all, a serious father might still be scared.

"I didn't notice until Ivy told me."

Ivy?

Did you hear what was going on in the cave?

"I heard. The magic circle appeared out of nowhere, and the tree monster handled it." It was possible that the same thing had happened before, and if the magic circle activated, the village would have suffered a lot of damage. Isn't that right? "

That's what it was, to put it simply.

Damn it, I wish the fools in the capital would give up!

"The space where the magic circle appeared was a space that had not been confirmed until the day before." In the cave, the space suddenly appeared sometimes, so I didn't notice. "

Indeed, in the cave, the path that existed until yesterday disappeared or there was a new path.

There's no space, there's new space.

Various changes occur in a short time.

That's why some vigilantes and adventurers told me that the space where the magic circle was drawn was not the one drawn by the cave itself.

"Spatial movement"

Tilt your head to your father's words.

Moving space?

If I could do that, I could definitely move the space that depicted the magic circle into the cave.

But do you think it'll connect well in the cave?

This is the magic circle that determines its coordinates.

What? Coordinates?

Take the paper from your father.

Say that, can I get involved?

She was sighing when she saw Clinton and her father.

"I really don't want to get involved. But I don't think I can solve it in my time. That's why I'm connecting you to the next Micke."

I see, your father is entrusted with solving the magic circle's problems.

That means you admitted it.

"Fufu. Thank you."

"Be careful, I've seen people doomed by magic circles." If you get involved, you're going to have a hard time. "

I wanted to say it was okay, but I didn't know what the magic circle was talking about.

Therefore, it is not easy to say that it is okay.

”I may struggle, but I'll make sure I don't get swallowed”

I nodded and responded with a bitter expression in my father's eyes.

Look at it and look at the paper in your hand.

Letters and pictures in a complex circle.

Honestly, I have no idea what you're expressing.

"The magic circle is not a tool to activate magic." It's a negative legacy that brings this world to a close. "

Do you want to end this world?

What do you know about the magic circle?

"'It can activate magic without consuming magic power. If you keep using it, you'll lose your ego and go crazy."

When I saw my father, he nodded to me.

Good, it looks like it fitted.

We absolutely need more magic than we need to activate it.

Is that so?

That's why the magic circle is strange.

"But the magic circle doesn't use the magic power of the person who activated it." That's because I'm supplementing my magic power from this world. "

Magic power from this world?

Do you know that the earth and the wind contain magic power?

It was so small that I wouldn't have noticed it.

"Yes, I've been taught that it's the magic power I need to move this world." Huh? Is it okay to use such magic power? "

Oh, the end of the world.

In other words, the more I used the magic circle, the more I would take my magic power from the world.

It will eventually cause this world to go crazy.

You see, why shouldn't we use magic circles?

"Yeah, but why would anyone use it?"

I knew it would destroy the world.

"Because I'm fascinated by the magic circle." Above all, it is said that if you use a magic circle, there is nothing you can't do. "
