"Right, because of us... you couldn't stand the fate imposed on us? And so do I."
Crudas began to walk fluttered. My brother Alberto, who can martyr in this fate, is honestly a marvel. No, rather, Crudas was beginning to think that his brother Alberto was the anomaly.
But Crudas somehow knows why. A chest pendant that my brother Alberto never let go of his skin. I didn't know what was in it once, but now I had an approximate idea for not wearing it. Crudas got what he wanted to protect. And that's the same for Rafferty. The sword, the knight, needs what he wants to protect. But that's not for me.
Marion and Miltre are difficult friends for Crudas. But if they ask if they should sift and protect their swords too, I feel a little different. The honor of the Lazar family was also something that honestly did not matter to Crudas.
"From now on... I hope they find me."
Crudas noticed as he walked. That there is still something decisively missing from my sword. No matter how you wave your sword in this, it can't stretch. That's what makes Jake's sword a threat. He has enough reason to sift the sword, and he needs to be strong. I grew faster than myself and deserved it.
Crudas raised his face. If you look at it, the sun will shine. For the first time in a long time he felt such a bright sun. His heart was plugged, as he had even forgotten to see the sky at some point. But now, I felt like a little bit of sunshine.
"You mean it's too early to just put it in the sword? I want a reason to sift my own sword. You mean it's not enough to like the sword. - Okay."
Crudas tried to return to the Deep Green Palace once, and he always saw where he was now. It should be on the north side of town now, but it's a less familiar place. I saw an unfamiliar alley in that somewhat flattered spot.
"This is definitely the entrance to the underground waterway"
The entrance to the underground waterway at the end of a narrow alley is untouched. It should be said that the entrance to the underground waterway, which is often provided there, is precisely for emergency use, and is mainly used for inspection purposes. I don't have a watch, but it's tightly sealed with strict keys and magic that I don't know about.
Crudas remembers fu. That there was hydrology in Gloria's class. The lecturer said it was very rare and that various debates were still taking place in Mayer, the academic capital. It was a strange thing for Crudas, who grew up in Arnelia, but in many towns on the continent it is said that water is not available in a stable manner and that many places are also having trouble handling floods and sewage. Of Arnelia's utilities, much effort is spent on a steady supply of water in each region. There were many theories that seemed to have not yet established the content of that lecture as if it were an open class, but Crudas remembered hearing it with interest.
"Is there also an entrance here? Speaking of which, you said in the lecture that there are a hundred exits for emergencies alone. There's a maze of waterways underneath this town. Is this one of those... hmm?
Crudas looked at the entrance with interest, but thus noticed the discomfort of that entrance, which was in the dark. The key is broken. The entrance to the waterway should be strictly sealed so the children don't get lost.
Any small entrance to the waterway is always managed once a month by the Knights of the Outer Perimeter. If that were to be broken, it must have been broken here recently. When Crudas came closer and looked at the key, there were signs of it being torn from within.
"Weird."
Crudas opened the door gently and asked a little about what was going on inside, sliding it into it. The senses are already entering a combat posture. Keep your footsteps as sneaky as possible and keep your breathing to a minimum. If you look at his feet, it's wet there, so Crudas instinctively took his feet off the water. Stepping on water can also be a footprint, and sensors are easier to do by flying sonar along the water. He knows that even with his feet on the water, it's like he's telling me to discover them.
But Crudas is not reckless either. I'm not wearing a sword right now. An encounter with a suspicious person increases his or her personal danger. I did a little recon inside, and I was planning on pulling it up. But before proceeding 100 meters, he instinctively concealed himself in a horizontal hole nearby, perceiving the presence of something. He himself was unaware of the cause, but Crudas' unique ability to detect danger, the most animal sensation of all time, worked.
"Oh, my God, what's come..."
That much crushing, Crudas found water running through the ceiling. That object, like a jelly mollusc, was moving through the ceiling at such a rate that it had never seen before. Software organisms are very rare demons, but they're not gone. Crudas is also a fact, about twice experienced in combat. But they didn't have a certain will, they were demons who could live by taking in what they touched, and it was considered very rare to travel aggressively because they didn't have a clear will.
But the demons I just saw were clearly different.
"Is that - is that thing in Arnelia's basement? What's going on?
Doubts arose in Crudas, but he stopped worrying immediately and decided to return to the Deep Green Palace once. The enemy is too close here. The demons may return soon.
Just like when he came, Crudas gently followed the place and quickly returned to the Deep Green Palace.
