But that wasn’t necessary, as soon as we were sunk to the ground, we immediately appeared on the ground on the other side.
I thought it took us quite a while to get there. ……
Is that tunnel distorting time and space?
No, in this case it was warped.
I looked ahead and saw Maria a little surprised when she noticed us.
“That was quick. ……. No, I expected it.”
“What were you guys doing?”
“Warming up.”
“Hee.”
Rackrackrackrackrack!!!!
I heard a sound like a tree being snapped off by a large crane or something.
How could such a sound be echoing in such a place!
When I looked in the direction of the sound, I saw that Alena was floating and deforming the tree while Roze was teaching her something.
What are they doing?
“…… is that sorcery?”
“Yes,……, it seems so. I’ve never seen a skill like that before. ……”
“It’s not gravity, it’s telekinesis.”
That’s not something I want to fight with,…….
But it doesn’t seem to have much lasting power.
The floating tree fell to the ground with a whack.
Alena seems to be breathing heavily.
She must be very focused.
“Haa…… haa…….”
“If you can do this much, you’ve done well. But it may not be usable in battle yet.”
“W-why not?”
“Because you’ll soon run out of breath, and it’s probably difficult to catch a moving enemy, isn’t it?”
“Uh….. right……”
Roze’s point seems to have been spot on.
If she could use such a strong technique, it would be more difficult for her to handle.
The two of them also noticed us there.
The training seems to be temporarily suspended, so I’m walking toward them.
“That was quick, wasn’t it?”
“Thanks to Uchikage. Where is Houen …… and Yurie?”
“Dunno. I’m sure they’re probably warming up somewhere.”
“That’s good.”
“So, how did it go?”
“Not everyone is there, but that’s okay. Let’s see…”
Then I told everyone in the room about the information I had gathered on-site.
Reizen is currently living in the Vulpan Kingdom.
The Church officials may be involved in the war against us.
And the location where Prince Kreis is being held captive.
When the church was mentioned, Maria and Roze made difficult faces.
“This is the kind of information we’ve been gathering.”
“Was Reizen-kun in there?”
“We couldn’t find him. We could have looked for him, but Prince Kreis has a higher priority, so we came back to report on him first.”
“I see. …..sigh …… the church, huh. ……”
“J-just as expected, it’s going to be a pain huh?”
“That’s right. I don’t know what they believe in, but believers are very troublesome. To them, the word of the priest is synonymous with the word of God.”
“No shit. ……”
I guess it depends on the place, but they say that’s the way it is in the Vulpan Kingdom.
It’s going to be a hassle after all. ……
Is there a possibility that we will end up fighting with the church if we try to rescue Reizen?
Couldn’t we do something about that?
When I asked that, Roze answered.
“Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult. But if the devil is guiding them behind the scenes, the church would indeed not be able to say that they are borrowing the devil’s power. ……”
“In that case, would there be fewer enemies?”
“I don’t know…….It would depend on how the devil appears. If it doesn’t show itself, then the whole church will be against it.”
“Do you think there’s a chance they’ll show up?”
“Hmmm………”
They’re going to blame it on the idea that it was a human being who did it.
They don’t involve themselves directly, but manipulate behind the scenes. ……
This is what happened in the Kingdom of Salettana.
Up until the middle part.
“…… we have a lot of enemies. Since we are in an impromptu situation, the Vulpan Kingdom must be in full battle stance.”
“That’s true.”
That doesn’t change what we have to do. All we have to do is not to be found.”
