"What a creepy atmosphere..."

Landing on the island and opening one shot, Hiroshi blurs things out. Dorte Island was surrounded by an unspeakably gloomy atmosphere.

"Well, just so you know, if there's been an obvious anomaly so far, there's no need to look into the surrounding islands."

"I'm trying to force you to think positively, but you haven't saved me at all."

Makoto puts a tough penetration into Tatsuya, who forced up elements that would be a little positive. The real problem, the island itself has quite a lot of space to investigate, so the need to look around doesn't have that much impact.

"Well, I don't know what to start with, but..."

"As for the Knights, I want to give top priority to the confirmation and protection of the three fishing villages on this island, all their inhabitants"

Ignoring the crappy comments made by Hiroshi, the leader of the Adventurer team and the captain of the Knights begin discussing future policies. There, when I realized that the discussion had begun, the Macro pinched his mouth.

"I'm sorry, but I'd like to start by building a safety zone."

"Building a Safety Zone? What do you mean?

"I don't know what kind of anomaly occurred, what caused the anomaly, or where it occurred from future investigations or anything so far, but at least this village will be affected by the anomaly. That doesn't necessarily happen again, but as a precaution to prepare for it, you need a place where you can work calmly if you do it here?

"... sure"

There is no objection from anyone to the truly correct claim of the Macro. Do your research, protect the villagers, and if the safety zone doesn't exist, we won't be able to talk smoothly.

"But it's good to build a safe zone, but how are you going to make it?

"I've been meaning to do that since the beginning, and I need disposable junctions. It's been working for about a week, so I want to guard this whole village and the ships we've been on."

"Is that a junction device? What exactly is it and to what extent can it be prevented?

"Segregated junctions, of sorts. The type that disconnects the space itself from the world and disables external influences and. In and out only registered people, when bringing in an external person, the registered person is OK if it operates in a specific manner, and if it doesn't do that, it goes bare to get inside the junction. Experiment with the maximum that you can prevent, and I can assure you, you can't go as far as you can treat with all kinds of potions in the third level."

A doubtful gaze pierces the ambition to make another unconsciously drastic statement. The adventurers and the Knights will not deny that the equipment they are wearing is made of Orihalcon, to the point that the performance of the items that Honda is carrying is first-class. However, there is no reason to trust a disposable item that has the same artifact class performance as Hiroshi says.

"... really, does that work?

"Startup experiments themselves succeed, so their effect as quarantine junctions is normal. To the limits of the quarantine junction, we can investigate it in time and place."

An ambition that meets the voices of doubt emanating from the leader of the adventurer as he takes out and prepares the junctions. Everyone but the Azma Workshop official who was on the spot loses his voice the moment he sees the removed junction fixture.

"... what, everyone suddenly shut up...?

To the silence of a sudden venue, a macro unwittingly raises a voice of suspicion.

"Hong-kun."

"Hmm?"

"If a normal person sees it, he'll probably be very surprised."

"Really?

"Perhaps, I'm sure,"

Spring vegetables pointing out the reasons why the adventurers have shut up in a subtle and unreliable way. Because I'm used to it, I don't know if spring vegetables have been surprising so far.

"So, for your information, what's his ingredient?

Tatsuya, who has already gotten used to this one, takes confirmation in a tone that makes her feel like she's giving up somewhere.

"Hmm? The base is Behemoth's fangs, and I've been finishing it with the hair loss of the young leaves and the hibiscus that I got separated from Solomycen in the garden. What's the problem?

"Ahhh, I know I've done a hell of a workmanship with maybe a hell of a lot of material"

Anyway, from the average person's point of view, it is decided to use a material that cannot be determined whether it is incredible or not in the first place. When I got confirmation with that feeling, I got the answer as I expected.

Behemoth's fangs are probably a material that few third-degree adventurers have ever seen, and the young leaves of Solomycen will not be like ordinary humans can get given the difficulty of harvesting fruit.

Needless to say, unto the loss of the hair of the beast of God, Hiraki. When it comes to any more combinations, it will be about whether to use directly removed hair instead of hair loss, dragon load fangs instead of behemoth, or world tree leaves instead of Solomycen. Going that far, artifacts are no longer adorable.

"Well, I'm not going to talk about it, so I'm just going to expand my boundaries. Yeah. Do it?

"Yeah, how about that?

To confirm Hiroshi and Tatsuya, both the adventurers and the Knights continue to shake their heads vertically with faces like souls have fallen out. I don't know if I could hear, say no to, or recognize the words "Behemoth's fangs" or anything, but at least I couldn't help but understand that the items that Macro had were not meant to be disposable junctions, and that they made me feel a single scale of something more horrible.

"Still, I don't feel like using all that material to dispose of it?

"If you don't make it disposable, your performance will be half-ranked. I don't know what's going to happen this time, so I'm a little scared of that half rank."

"Ah, I see."

Tatsuya is deeply convinced by the circumstances of using rigid materials for consumables items. Sure, it's scary to lose half the rank this time because of the smell. Actually, it was an over-spec, but if you don't perform well enough, it can be fatal.

"Oh, yeah. What do you mean, permission to come in and out?

"First of all, only people with adventurer cards or knighthood credentials on this spot and on the ship are free to enter and exit from the beginning. Really, I'm going to ask you to write a single star mark on one of your bodies with this pen for the time being. Isn't that enough?

"I think it's a reasonable place."

"Here, let's roll it out."

That said, the ambition to start moving for the installation of the junction fixture. Drop it off, Tatsuya turning to the adventurers.

"In the meantime, let him take care of the safety zone. What do we do?

"... right. First, do you want to check the situation in this village? I'm concerned that the villagers still don't move even though this is all messy"

"Roger. That's okay with the Knights' husband, too?

"Instead, we were going to move it in the main, so if you could help us, I wouldn't even wish"

Apparently, everything you're thinking about is the same. It is decided unanimously to start checking the situation of the village.

"And well, that's why I'm going to look around with me, Mio, True Harp and Spring Vegetables. And if you ever need a cookout, cut up the real harp and spring vegetables and go around getting ready."

The members in the absence of Hiroshi are divided into two parts, and Tatsuya instructs them to do so. Spring vegetables and Mio were separated due to the problem of examination ability, and Tatsuya and Spring vegetables did not combine because Mio has no strong recovery magic heart.

"Copy that. Since the Knights are on the south side around the harbor and the team of adventurers is on the whole west side, should we look around the northeast?

"Right. Tatsuya and Mio ask you to go north on the east side, as I and Makoto will be looking around from the northeast."

"Okay."

"Mmm. Copy that."

Together with the Azma Workshop, which decides on a fine allocation and just starts to move.

A large number of visitors had not moved, and there were no signs of the villagers moving.

"... how'd it go?

"... there are three people around six houses who were debilitated, perhaps a little over thirty who are in a state of temporary death. There were no dead people in the meantime."

"People who are debilitated were confused, but I don't know if it's because of their weakness or not"

Tatsuya and Mio answer honestly what they have seen to confirm spring vegetables. The village was in a very different situation.

"How'd it go over there?

"We went around eight houses, two old couples and three infants, and they were dead. All infants died of debilitation, and both the old couple died of shock. Fifty-two people were later in a state of provisional death. We had two big family homes, so it felt like we had more people there."

Confirmed that the dead were out, Tatsuya and Mio with cloudy expression. Spring vegetables and true harp faces never clear either.

"All the dead grandfathers have seen something too scary, or their faces have hardened with fear."

"Some people are in a state of provisional death. Maybe something terrible happened, and the shock put him on probation?

"You too. By the time I got here, it felt like a horror situation."

"Yeah. There's just no trauma, so it doesn't look like something attacked me..."

The more we sort out the situation, the deeper the mystery. It hurts not to be clear what happened because not a single person was safe.

"Without trauma and planting tremendous fear," he said.... I can't think of a monster like that. Don't you realize that?

"If there is, about an undead without a ghost entity, but I'm halfway there for that..."

"That's right..."

Asked by Makoto, Tatsuya crushes the content that anyone is likely to come up with first. I also agree with Tatsuya's words, hold my head.

"Brother Da, Sister Zhenqin. Want to wake up one person who's in a state of temporary death? It's the only way to get testimony because people who are debilitated aren't likely to be able to listen."

"Is your body okay enough to talk about that as soon as I wake you up?

"It's weaker, but better than someone who's debilitated. However, I can't say anything about whether or not I wake up immediately or if I can eat something as soon as I wake up because of the huge personal difference."

A group of elderly people think only a little about Mio's proposal. Ultimately, it's true that the only way to get information is to wake someone up. but I feel a little problematic doing it on its own with the Azma Workshop group alone, which is also not a full member. Anyway, if it's just the villagers and the Azma Workshop, there's also a team of knights and adventurers in this village.

"... isn't it a little bad for us to act like that at our sole discretion?

"Right. Besides, it's scary when you're unexpectedly seriously ill to wake up unconscionable in this place."

After much thought, Tatsuya and Makoto end up making discreet decisions to go.

"Copy that. Then go back."

"Ooh."

It was decided that there would be no further investigation, and Tatsuya decided to protect only the weakened persons and return to the assembly point. Whatever you do, it's hard to move without consulting once.

"Well, how were the others..."

"Maybe it didn't make much difference, did it?

The more I looked into it, the less tense it seemed to be to the situation in the village, while carrying the villagers leaking every bump wow with their weak bodies, it was a line towards a meeting place.

"What happened?

At the rendezvous point, a team of adventurers and cavaliers were waiting for them who were not overly pale.

"... you guys got lucky..."

"Seriously, what happened..."

A word from the leader of the Adventurer team against Tatsuya, who is low in tension but not particularly upset. Tatsuya leaks her words anxiously as she looks at the crap.

"At that rate, there wasn't much crime scene there, was there?

"Egg scene?

"Have you encountered a tragically murdered body or something?

"... no. There were dead people, but the body was beautiful because it felt shocked to death by fear. So there was a body like that?"

"There were three or so houses where residents apparently killed each other. The house felt like every corpse had been chopped to the point of obstinacy, stab wounds everywhere, and it wasn't in decent condition."

Tatsuya listens to the leader of the Adventurer team and puts on his face. It was such a nasty situation because knights and adventurers who were supposed to be used to seeing dead bodies and such would lose their complexion.

It seemed like we were really lucky that there wasn't that bad a crime scene.

"Something's getting more and more horror based..."

"Don't say anything unnecessary. It hasn't gone out of style..."

Leader of a team of adventurers who puts an instant penetration with a blue face in a genuine harp that he accidentally crushed when he heard the story. He is the veteran and the rank is never lower than the fourth grade. He is this reaction. The anomaly that struck this village seems quite handsome.

"... Seems like I've had a lot of troublesome discoveries, but if you want me to tell you more about them at the debriefing. What about you, Hiro?

Spring vegetables noticed Hiroshi's absence in an attempt to hear more about the situation also take confirmation.

"If you're the owners of the factory, we're going to tie up the ship now."

"Maybe the line is over. I think it's time the master arrived this way."

One of the knights answers the spring vegetable inquiry, and Mio supplements it. As Mio said, Hiroshi walked relaxed from the harbor.

"Sorry I'm a little late."

That's what you say with your mouth, but you don't look so bad. No one says anything about a team of adventurers who would normally complain about such an ambitious attitude because of the unexpectedly heavy mental damage caused by exploration until then.

"Hmm? No, I'm a big deal."

"I didn't see it in person, but thanks, it looks like there was a place where I was in a pretty miserable state..."

"... I'm used to saying that to veterans. I thought it was different from monsters and humans, huh?

"If you don't see the crime scene, I can't comment."

"Sure, yeah."

Asked to be embarrassed by Tatsuya, Hiroshi can pull in his thoughts. In fact, Tatsuya has similar feelings. It just doesn't change the fact that even high-ranking adventurers who are good at switching to say that, whether veteran adventurers are used to human tragic corpses or not, had such a frivolous scene that they were about to lose their normal minds. They decide it's dangerous to lose vigilance about it, and they try not to say bad things.

"So, we've all cut off the investigation already, haven't we?

"Oh, I suppose so."

"There's not enough of you two?

From previous stories, a macro who was counting numbers, just in case, hits the question. It becomes an agitated look at the questions of the macro and begins to see who is missing in each of the Knights and Adventurers teams.

"... Elt and Roy aren't back"

The captain of the Knights, who has finished the call-up, tells us that their people are not back.

"Are we going to get in touch?

"... no. No response."

Asked by the leader of the Adventurer team, the captain answers as he shook his head sideways. Leaders who make immediate policy decisions even as they put their faces to that answer.

"You should look. Which area were those two investigating?

"Outside the southeast village, I was going to see a building near the lake shore"

"Both of you?

"Oh. In principle, we were acting together this time."

Outside the village, a leader who sees the macro as he hears and confirms the word. I perceive where I intend, and the macro opens his mouth.

"I don't know if I saw it at the scene, but it could be just around the border. I don't know if you're defenseless at the end of the line, but if you cross the border, it won't work at all."

"Right."

Ask for specifications about the junction and the captain nods with a rugged face. In the end, I don't know until I go check it out. We all decide to act just in case, and take them all to the scene. There...

"One, falls in the water!

"Master, there's another one over there!

There were knights who would probably be drowning, given the time it took to explore, and knights with obvious broken neck bones of what had not fallen into the water. Neither can confirm the expression.

"Mio, I'm sorry, but I need you to come with this rope to pull up the people in the water." I'll get it back from the other side. "

"Master, are you okay?

"I can't tell you anything, but unlike you, it's completely out of bounds. When something happens, the safest thing is me. I better go. Yeah."

"… Copy"

Follow the instructions of the macro, use the aqua brace just in case, then take the rope and jump into the water Mio. The adventurers say nothing, either, because she is the one wearing the most defensive leather armor.

Subtle depths of water where the long knight is completely submerged, but not deep enough to be invisible. In Mio, he dives all at once and comes through a rope from his armpit to pull up a knight who has fallen into a place of depth where his feet can't reach the bottom of the water.

Then he checks the foot of the knight, making sure it's not caught on anything in particular, and surfaces to get out of the water. If anything was at your feet, you would have been the wingman fighting in the subtly unfavourable field of underwater, but this time luckily no aquatic monster existed.

"Fixed. Pull it up."

"Roger. Any chance he's alive?

"Maybe desperate because my mouth is wide open and the air doesn't leak anymore"

The knights pull up the body of their colleagues with a slightly sad look on their face following Mio's report. Where he fights for about a minute in total leads and manages to pull the knight of all-body metal armor out of the water, the Horn returns, who is responsible for the knight who is dead with a broken neck bone.

"I freaked out about something and ran, and I stepped off, and I felt it all the time."

"Perhaps that's the place to be, too. At least there was no sign of him being dragged into something."

I will then tell Hiroshi, who has completed the crime scene inspection, to supplement the captain with regard to his drowned men.

"Then the question is, what did you get scared of and run away from?"

Something a regular knight tries to escape without even checking his feet. We will all remain silent on that serious problem.

If this is a poor quality group named after a regular knight, it will not be so serious. But unlike the upper echelons of government, where alternative chaos still persists, Lauren's knights are by no means indolent or incompetent. It must be a well-trained and well-controlled population. At least it has no connection to the inertia or the breadth of the way it tries to escape without even checking its foot on a cliff.

A brave, resolute knight who is not that incompetent is so scared that he forgets me and flees. Honestly, it's the common opinion of the people on this occasion that I'd like to beg to forgive for encountering the cause, but that's not the case because the investigation is a job. Work is often demanding.

"... Hey, Hiroshi"

"What?

"This is all happening so close to the junction, what was the only reaction to the junction?

"Unfortunately, the investigative formalities in that hand are in. Even if something happens to the union, I can only tell when it is struck out or disarmed. I know that people come and go, but..."

"Oh well."

Spring vegetables that can pull light ideas into the description of the macro. But that doesn't convince everyone. Naturally, one of the things I want to say comes up to people who have been caught up in the overdoing of the macro from day to day.

"Usually you incorporate extra gimmicks and mountain molds, but they don't come with important features at these pivotal times. What do you think?

"That's what I say, Mr. Makoto. It may seem like you can do whatever you want, but you still make it according to the proper rules. Anyway, if it's about two days before we leave, we're going to have a little too much time to incorporate that hand into this performance junction."

I tend to forget because of the extremely high capacity and the extremely wide range of applications, but there are things that even the macro can and cannot do. This junctional association is the same as a secondary panacea or condition abnormality treatment potion, something that cannot be more powerful in the present situation.

"Hey, Hiroshi, Makoto-san"

"What?

"What is it, spring vegetables?

"It's okay to talk, but there aren't fewer adventurers?

Pointed out in Spring Vegetables, count the number of adventurer teams. There were ten of us when we came, but only eight of us.

"Master, Sister Chun, Sister Zhenqin! It's going crazy!

"Mio?

"The two missing signs are moving away! Plus, just a little metal noise!

"Wait, that's it!!

Spring vegetables noticed some potential are faster than mouths continue, and the hong and mio run out toward the metal sound. But......

"You did it too late!

"Also, out of the junction..."

The sound interrupts before you reach the signs, and the smell of blood drifts like it could. Hoang and Mio rush to the scene at full speed, while presumably guessing it's too late in many ways.

The scene, which was reached by running a distance that could be said to have been harshly picked up because it was a hong and a mio, had the bodies of two adventurers who suffered massive cuts all over their bodies and fell to fold.

"... Mio, what do you think...?

"... undoubtedly, fighting each other..."

Hiroshi and Mio desperately expose nausea and others to the sight of the weak-minded who, if seen, are likely to let go of their sanity, while still detecting warm bodies. We couldn't tell just by looking where he was falling, but the two bodies had each other's weapons poking deep into them.

There are more than five wounds that can be fatal, and all wounds are so incapable of fighting at that point. Even so, these two seem not to have stopped attacking each other, even if they were fatally wounded, and have passed away with the look of having done what they had to do even as they drew their faces to fear.

"Now it's almost certain to eat a mental state abnormality. Otherwise, we can't fight each other like this."

"Then maybe we should just investigate?

"Outside the junction, we're definitely better off alone. Yeah. I don't have enough handheld items here to handle that number."

Hiroshi and Mio broaden the scope of the junction for now and draw such conclusions while retrieving the body. Both mental resistance enhancement equipment and long-lasting secondary panacea are only available for members of Hongda. More than not knowing where the cause is, the investigation while broadening the boundaries is also dangerous.

The macroscopic quarantine junction does not interfere with one thing that happened inside the junction. Because it was made at the top of strength in a short period of time, it was not possible to incorporate functions such as de-state abnormality within the junction. Still, I have good news for now.

Something that caused this anomaly cannot break through the junction, including a level III or lower attack. That means that, at least as far as state anomalies are concerned, they can be adequately addressed with the secondary panacea available.

"So, Mio. Do you have any idea what these two are doing?

"After we get up from the water, to some extent. I couldn't afford that much while I was working underwater."

"At that point, did you act together?

"I was a little away. In this terrain, trees and trees stand in the way, and it's hard to see each other right away."

"I mean, if the cause is ghosting or something, at least there's a range attack on the mental system."

Mio has a face that does not fall on his heart in the words of the Horn. Apparently, there are some objections to the hypothesis of a macro.

"Something bothering you?

"I've been detecting signs, but I haven't picked up any signs of a decent move except for the members I've been with"

"Wait a minute, Mio. Does that mean you're flying all the way out of Mio's detection range?

"... maybe"

The information Mio has spoken about makes him feel all kinds of stinky things and attract his face. Someone is continuing to launch a powerful state anomaly attack on the entire island. If we consider Mio's range of detection, we can only determine that it is.

Go back and talk to him.

"Yeah. We can't judge by ourselves."

"Maybe I can rub it awesome..."

Hiroshi and Mio get very large information in many ways and rendezvous with other members with a face that doesn't float. It was the reaction of the other Members who heard the two reports that the discussions would be able to be rubbed to a large extent.

"Looking for Jake and Olba's revenge, but we're gonna make a big deal out of this, right?!?

"This one, too, makes a sacrifice: Elt and Roy. I was told to pull in here very hard, and it doesn't fit in."

"Sora, I know how you feel. If anybody dies, I can't grow up. I just..."

As expected, a team of adventurers and knights who rebel against requests from the Horn and are eager to eat. I expected it, but still can't hide my sinister face, along with the Azma Workshop.

"I don't know when you're going to say this, but at least it's certain that our own people will be resistant and powerful. Even if you leave without taking any precautions, it's obvious that you'll just be in the same condition."

"Then give him what you have!

"Saya, prepare only five people. Heh, heh, heh. I don't have enough ingredients, so I can't prepare any more right away. Assuming I gave it to you, who's gonna use it to investigate?

Before the face of a team of adventurers with blood all over their heads and still not a step back. It's life-threatening, so you can't overlook it.

"Besides. You knights need to protect the survivors before they fight? From the Knight Yanen."

"But..."

"Or abandon those who survived luckily and are now debilitated? Even so, perhaps, as things stand, the other villages will be beholden to death in the form of hindsight?

……

To Macho's point, the more blood seeps through his lips, the more fist he squeezes captain. The same is true of the other knights.

"... ok. We give priority to the protection and treatment of survivors. I'll leave the investigation to you."

"I'm sorry. I should have gotten ready..."

"... no. This case is due to a lack of communication from us and the consequent lack of time to prepare. If it's just you guys, there's no casualties in the first place."

"Well, instead, the investigation in the village was a hassle."

Captain who is persuaded by the Macro and who abstains from participating in the investigation with the thought of spitting blood. I'd like to blame the lack of preparedness of the Hongdas, but if I mention that, I can blame the impropriety of the country and the Adventurers' Association that didn't pass through beforehand.

Besides, getting medication for other team members and cavaliers in the first place is a mystery. I don't know how much money I should accumulate, such as medicines that are made by people connecting to deactivate first- and third-degree attacks and prevent state anomalies that top class adventurers can't prevent.

It's exactly the same thing you do with a rotten nobleman, such as just give it to me as a shield of state power.

"In the meantime, just in case, I'll get the food, so the solids can go. If I do that, this way, if I don't, I'll let you out. Because I can do both if I put them in a container and pour them hot water."

To the captain, who is somewhat reflective and depressed, he takes out and gives away the instant ramen and freeze-dried bird glass soup he has prepared.

"... what the hell is this?

"One of the biggest projects currently underway in Farlane, Instant Ramen, all over the place. This is how I don't eat."

If you can't wait to be certified as a hazardous material, Hiroshi prepares hot water and dust to cook and show you. Take a bite of the finished product to show it and hand it to the captain.

"... delicious..."

"That's good. When you think about it, it's time for dinner, and let's settle down a little bit in the belly."

I'm horrified at how the captain seems to have calmed down after a bite of instant ramen, and for now I act like a ramen to everyone on this scene. The appetizing smell of bird glass soup spread around, causing the hearts of the standing adventurers to calm slightly by losing their companions. Because it smells very little soy sauce on a consomme basis, or it is also normally accepted by Loufeus humans.

"… indeed, delicious…"

A leader who intertwined the handed ramen with a fork and tasted a careful bite squeaks in a smudge somewhere. Other adventurers who see it also start eating hot ramen cautiously cold.

Somehow eating something else is a long way off, and Honda can do it with instant ramen from the original Bird Gala. At times like this, eating the same is fundamental to deepening bonds.

"After all, you haven't demonstrated the soup."

"Well, that's not enough, so after you finish eating, yeah, do it"

Hiroshi presents such an alternative to the words of spring vegetables whining while waiting for the ramen to do so. Instant ramen is surprisingly low in calories. There's no way that a person who works heavily in calorie consumption, an adventurer or a knight, can handle it as much as adding soup and bread to instant ramen.

Irrespective of that anticipation, the Knights and Adventurers team normally flatten the bread additionally while rounding their eyes to the instant bird glass soup further demonstrated by the Horn. Have you calmed down by eating as much as you can, all the extravagant air earlier gets a little better.

"Is your head a little cold?

"Oh. I'm sorry."

The leader replies with a calm voice when the meal is over and Tatsuya cuts out the story where her stomach is calm.

"So for now, let's just do the policy just now, okay?

"That's the thing..."

The expectations of Tatsuya, who wondered if this atmosphere would be okay, were also sluggish, and the leader tries to say his thoughts with a face that comes to mind somewhere.

"I'm sorry, but I still can't just sit here and watch. This way, we act at our own risk."

"Hey......"

"I know. This is our selfish selfishness, and we're just going to die for nothing."

He controls Tatsuya, who was about to say something with a harsh voice color, and the leader begins to speak quietly.

"I ate dinner and my head was cold. I think I've done something wrong by saying give it to me earlier, or by shelving our lack of preparation and blaming you. So I withdraw there, but my head didn't cool to the point of feeling. So don't bother yourselves, we'll act on a different route, so just miss this place."

"Right..."

It seems that the placement of an interval called a meal hardened my feelings instead. Tatsuya's eyes set on such a team of adventurers.

"Then let me exercise my strength."

Tatsuya gives a final announcement as she looks out for spring vegetables. It receives Tatsuya's attention and activates the magic that Spring Vegetables was secretly preparing.

"Paralysis Eye!"

Intermediate disability magic that paralyzes any subject in sight. Because of the magic that adds a state anomaly called highly effective paralysis, it is quite commonly used, unlike the magic that makes it difficult to use or understand the effects like snares and itches.

Normally, magic is likely to be commonly used by this member, but most of the opponents who are prone to paralysis can be defeated normally in Oxide Circles, so they have never had a chance to use it before.

"Hey, do what..."

"If I let you guys die in vain, that's what I'm sorry about those two who fought desperately. If you find the mastermind, I'll call it right, so just be nice until then. Spring Vegetables"

"Roger. Sorry."

Encouraged by Tatsuya, activate the magic and loon rope for further prolonged detention to restrain everyone. This magic, where restraint time and intensity depend on the proficiency and magical attack power of the operator, is overwhelmingly more proficient in Spring Vegetables, which had done a lot from the Sumikami hand, than Tatsuya, who had made few appearances other than the Oxide Circle and the Holy Heaven Octopolar Cannon since the Game Age. Moreover, due to the influence of building production skills all the time, the magic attack power is not that extreme, so in Tatsuya and Spring Vegetables, Spring Vegetables are much more binding.

"Sakuri, I'll catch you behind bars, so don't freak out."

No more sacrifices were made, and neither Higashi nor the Knights said anything to Tatsuya, who tried to solve them with force moves. A row of Azma Workshops that go through Tatsuya and the adventurers who stare at Spring Vegetables and just start preparing for the investigation.

"Captain, after you, please"

"Okay. Be careful."

"Oh."

Keep ready and entrust the captain with the rest, leaving the village. A series of incidents that had horror flavors unfolding, it was time to start moving towards the last act.

"I'm glad I made it, but where did you find it?

Drink up the panacea and Tatsuya is blurred. In fact, it's not like I'm guessing this.

"In the meantime, there's no doubt that the heart of the island is that mountain, but I honestly don't know if there's a cause there."

"That's right.... Mm-hmm, maybe if I took a shot, I'd know which one you're from?

"Let it go. Maybe that's fast."

Hiroshi nods at the unscrupulous suggestion of spring vegetables and goes out of the junction alone for safety. Originally, the resistance of the macro is significantly higher than the state abnormal deactivation ability of the junction. If it's going to take a macro, the junction is falling apart.

"... I knew it would come from near the summit."

A macro that receives a breeze that causes a state anomaly and is certain of the general direction. A small breeze that occasionally occurs intersecting the wind blowing down from the summit. That's apparently what's causing this.

"Master, how did it go?

"Probably coming from the top of the mountain. I don't have time for panacea, and I'm just starting an investigation."

Copy that.

Mark the direction you found out, and start walking towards the mountain. It's a mountain with an altitude of about three hundred meters. Climbing out to the top of the mountain is not such a big task, even if you could get lost in the beast path. If you climb on your feet in a hurry, there's a chance you'll reach the summit in just over an hour.

With that idea in mind, it is more than twenty years to walk the path that leads to the mountain. Mio stops his leg and begins to concentrate his entire nerve around the time he arrives at the foot of the mountain in the wind about three times along the way.

"What's the matter, Mio?

"Slightly, but there are signs of people"

That said, sharpen the nerves to establish orientation and distance. Mio, who concentrated his entire nerve for a few seconds, began to storm into the midst of the jaw without straying.

"That way?

"Yeah."

A small nod to confirm Tatsuya goes silently. A little over a kilometer at a straight distance to the signs Mio picked up. When it comes off the shortest course to the top of the mountain, but maybe it's the survival of an adventurer who's lost touch, there's no reason not to confirm it.

"… Discover"

It is sufficient to proceed with the splitting of the tweezers. I discovered a woman who was unconscious at the roots of Oki.

"... this man is also in a state of provisional death. Unlike the villagers, it takes that kind of trick, so I'm in a state of provisional death myself?

"Right. He's got a defensive hidden bond around him, and he's conscious of where he's falling and how he's falling, so he's as discreet as possible."

Hiroshi and Spring Vegetables confirming the woman who was falling and drawing that conclusion. It should be noted that although it is a macro that has determined to be in a state of provisional death, it is not even close to a distance within five steps of touching it. Even at that distance, we can observe about magic, the state of breathing, whether or not it is affected by any magic, and to some extent we can speculate about whether or not it is in a state of temporary death.

Most importantly, in this case, the magic of a state of provisional death is practised, so if you have the knowledge, you can't make a mistake.

"So, what do you want? You want me to wake you up to check the situation?

"That's a troubling place."

Asked if he would cancel the procedure, Tatsuya takes it seriously. Everyone's gaze concentrates on that reaction. Apparently, this time, he decided to leave the final decision to Tatsuya.

The technique is not as difficult as Aeris was once caught by Piaranok. Therefore, everyone in this room can normally be disarmed except for Makoto, who barely wears magic.

However, it is a little too risky to wake up on this occasion because it is unclear whether this state anomaly can be reliably resisted.

"If you think about the risk of eating an abnormal state, I think you should put him to sleep like this..."

"Wouldn't it be hard for you to come back to this place again later?

"And I don't think there's enough people on the other side."

True harp and spring vegetables collide in disagreement with Tatsuya's answer, which she gave in troubles. Tatsuya is increasingly troubled because that opinion is also correct. There, Hong and Mio issue opinions from the other side.

"When I wake you up, do I need to hear the circumstances?

"And I know it's okay because I'm in a state of provisional death myself, but this guy might act on the same idea as the adventurers who forced me to wait in the village"

"That's why it might be a bad idea to spend time thinking about the situation on the island."

Hiroshi's dissent is also quite convincing, and Tatsuya can't help but decide. In the end, I came to the conclusion that

"Right. Let's put a mark in it and transfer it to this person alone in the village with metastatic magic. Let me have the paper that wrote the message, and the captain of the Knights will make it better later."

was.

"… maybe that's what makes sense"

"I think that's all right. I think it's better than leaving it here."

"I agree."

"I have no reason to disagree, either."

We all support Tatsuya's conclusion. Take it, for now, unbind around the Sakuri woman.

"Then True Harp looks for a card for now and confirms his identity. Write a message for Spring Vegetables. Hiro and Mio, please check the direction again."

Where the policy has been unanimously decided, Tatsuya gives instructions to everyone as they prepare their magic.

Truth is, metastatic magic that moves only others is very difficult. The magic of Tatsuya is still not activated even after the work on the true harp and spring vegetables has been completed because it also takes quite some time to prepare.

"All right. I'll expand, you stay away from me."

"Ha ~ i"

Copy that.

On the signal of Tatsuya, spring vegetables and mahjong away from women. Make sure they leave, and Tatsuya activates the surgery. A magic formation of such magnitude as to wrap each person unfolds, and in an instant takes the woman away somewhere.

"So, who was that guy?

"He's a third-degree adventurer, and El Verse is the team's Linoa Meltest."

"Oh. In a way, the reason we're here..."

When I hear about my identity from True Harp, I convince myself that I am in a state of temporary death due to my previous surgery here. Perhaps his companion was also the food for the example state anomaly attack, and he ran away and hid because he happened to have a painful and successful resistance. It can be inferred that the decision was based on the fact that the psychiatric abnormality did not result in a state of provisional death. Instead of becoming unprotected for physical hazards, if we consider that death due to dehydration or starvation can also be avoided, it is a decision that cannot be justified.

"I was just wondering, if you were a third-degree guy, maybe you had some information"

"Instead, you might have had to hold in and guard one person you can't work with."

"Well, we've all made up our minds, and they're both long and short, so we can think about the details."

"Right. So, what's the direction?

Over here.

It is led by a macro and continues in a straight line to the point where the abnormal state attack occurs. It's no longer a road-like road, but it was still much more than when we headed for the village of Ortem. Therefore, their speed of movement hardly falls. As it was, the hosts stepped into the steep mountain beast path.

"Hey, hey, yeah?

It's time to see the summit of the mountain, around, and until then, Hiroshi, who was silently thinking about something, opens his mouth.

"Did you notice anything?

"Hey, I'm sorry about the smell of hot springs"

"Hot springs?"

"Seya Nen. Just a slight burn, sorry."

What's wrong with that, Tatsuya, I don't really want to think about it.

"No, if there was a hot spring, it wouldn't necessarily be pomegranate. Besides, I'm sorry to say this, but if Pome's explosive power tries to deliver a shock wave to all this range, isn't the tops of the mountains changing the terrain as much?

"The Pome we know and I don't know..."

"... there are different breeds, are you trying to say?

"I can't say enough about it. Hunter trees around Ortem Village and about three native species."

"Well, yeah, but then I knew I wouldn't fall for it."

I perceive what Tatsuya is trying to say, and one snorts. Given this sphere of influence, if such a variety of Pome is normally native, this island would not be inhabitable in the first place, nor could it be used as a relay point for the route. The poor sitting there not only has the Macro but also the Spring Vegetables and Women.

However, when shown the possibility of pome, some elements, such as the interval between the occurrences of shock waves with no regularity whatsoever, come together as neatly as strangely. From there, the more discussion overlaps, the stranger persuasion is created in the Pome Cause theory, making it harder and harder to deny it.

While I'm worried about such indescribable information, Mio brings me new information that leads to the progress of things.

"… Master. I see something building."

"Are you serious?

"Yeah. Maybe seven hundred more meters"

"Around the top. Let's keep it tight."

To Mio's report and Macro's words, a line that changes feelings and begins to proceed cautiously. It took about five minutes to go through the remaining 700 meters and line up in front of the building Mio discovered.

"From inside this building, the smell of the hot springs leaks. Mio, are there any signs?

"The number of people there. Probably all fainted. While they're passing out, I'm gonna do a little digging."

"Careful."

From here on in, my job, Mio goes into the building survey all the time. Start with the exterior, and as soon as you start looking around the building, stop moving.

"... Master, Master..."

"What did you discover?

"... that..."

Hiroshi, called by Mio, rushes over to see the sight and looks sinister.

"Why, the go-go side..."

"Even if I tell you..."

What Mio discovered was an organism that seemed to be pomegranate, except for the fact that it was in a radio gymnastic-like motion outside the building, on the go-o-o-o surface.

Behind that, Mio accidentally raises his exclamation where a very lovingly shaped botanical monster with crushed eyes came out with short hands and feet shaking the foliage of a head growing and growing larger than his body.

"... whatever's cute..."

"... come out in this stream, let's do that young creature..."

"Master, that kind of dreamless story..."

Mio protests with a rare and distinct change of expression to a macro who speaks of what would most likely be predicted from the situation.

"Well, let's put that aside for once, ya. It doesn't matter if it's just a different face."

"Want to crack it?

"Let it go. Do you want to crack it a little? Brother, Haruna, Makoto! I think it's a little suspicious. I found it, so I'll crack it! Stay defensive, just in case!

Nodding at Mio's suggestion, he puts up a soundproofing junction just in case, and then a macro who gives warning words to the other three who are wary of surrounding the building.

"Copy that!"

"There's no problem over here! Anytime!

"This way too! I don't know what's gonna happen, so watch him!

I get a reply from the three of them, a macro who hits something that I think is a go-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o At the next moment, the estimated pome ruptures heavily in response to the impact.

Instead of blowing up the body. Being cancerous without even kneeling was not powerful enough to disfigure you, but instead something is mixed up that causes a mental state abnormality that is powerful enough to be taken to mind in one shot without countermeasures. It's pretty much the same shockwave we've had so far.

"... Pome subspecies, confirmed"

"Finally, the cause is almost certain. Just..."

"Just...?

"I don't know why nothing's happened before."

Mio snorts deeply, to the comments of Hiroshi. This is all the dangerous stuff. If it had been native for a long time, there should have been a case long ago, and it would be impossible to say that no measures would be taken at all.

However, we have not examined the range of effects, but it cannot be unrelated to the fact that the shock waves that were exposed to when they burst are almost the same as the shock waves that were flown by the time they came here.

"In the meantime, we'll have to check the building."

Copy that.

I don't have enough information as it is. Decide so and move on to the next action.

There's a good chance there's a clue in this because it smells like a hot spring from the inside and there's a creature roaming around that seems obviously to be a kind of pome.

That's what he thinks, and the moment he peeks inside through the gaps in the walls that are here and there in search of clues, Hiroshi and Mio end up unexpectedly. The condition inside exceeded expectations.

"Who or the guy who made this..."

Beyond the walls full of gaps in the amphibious, there was a clump of hot springs, so much floating that the earlier subspecies of pome covered the surface of the water. Because I was convinced it was Pome in an earlier experiment, I expected more mass occurrences than there were hot springs inside, but there was one other unexpected presence. That's...

"Ah, I'm starting to pose..."

"I don't know, I'm here..."

It's a hot spring. It was something that would have been demonically modified, standing a little high behind the town and posing to show off a body builder-like torso. Seeing where the goo-go-surface, the adult of the subspecies pome, is on top of the position that hits the head, I guess the base is still the ones floating around here. Honestly, having a normal torso in Pome is still so uncomfortable.

An earlier experiment demonically modifies this dangerous organism, which no longer even the macro is willing to get his hands on its too dangerous. I'm not sure who went, but it's something I did recklessly again. When Hiroshi and Mio think about it, the demon-modified subspecies Pome move picklessly to gain strength.

"... this sucks! Mio, just in case you're in the mood!

"Copy that!"

The moment the demon-modified subspecies Pome (pseudonym), who was posing for Double Biceps, put his strength into it, he feels something cold in his spine and the macro screams. Shortly after Mio is tempered to resist when he hears the cry of the Horn, the demon-modified subspecies Pome (pseudonym), which have put too much effort into posing, burst. Its shockwaves, scattered with stronger momentum earlier, fly away from the surrounding creatures with tremendous momentum without any interference with the obstacle.

"... this is what this is all about..."

A series of incidents, a macro that confirms its cause and throws up with desperate groans. Now there's no other way to deal with this than to wipe it out.

"... Master, that..."

Mio points to Hot Springs so as to block the thought of Hiroshi, who began to think about how to annihilate them. Seeing it, the juvenile body of the subspecies Pome, which came in from outside, is attached to the hot spring. The fact that it comes from outside means that it was still inhabited here from the beginning, and instantly the poor toddler is in the demon-modified Pome (pseudonym).

"... after all, do we have to destroy..."

"My toddler body is just adorable, I learn to kill the guy who did this..."

Anyway, it doesn't taste good to burst any more. Once we deploy the quarantine junction to surround this building in a great hurry, we will self-destruct all the subspecies pomegranate inside with a magic brit.

"In the meantime, now we can buy time for the time being, but it's a fundamental solution or it's all too subtle..."

"That's right..."

Spring vegetables, who at some point had checked the situation nearby, leak the word of consent to the blur of the macro, which was meant to be solitary. It was born from the beginning. Otherwise, in some cases, it may affect the route too close to people. Therefore, although there is no alternative to total eradication, it is troubling to say how to achieve it.

"Master, I'm going to investigate inside for a moment"

"Let it go. First of all, it's definitely a magic trick, and there's got to be some assholes who messed with it."

"Maybe now I'm wasting it, but just in case, we're all careful"

When I nod at Mio's words, we all step aside just in case. Inside, a large number of Evil Gods have fallen,

"Master, log discovery"

"I'll just check.... I see Bardo brought it... … from north of Lauren…"

"Oh, I also found a research journal here. Uh, what?... he said he was going to adjust to blow himself up when he moved independently and into battle because he was too vulnerable to shock and had difficulty transporting. So, since Baldo is gone and the effect of the junction is diminished, and the shock starts to leak, the measures are interrupted."

"I could almost read the truth..."

Various pieces of evidence remained, including the research journal.

"... horror och all the time doesn't mean many things wow..."

"... you don't..."

Two days later. After completing the investigation of all the missing persons, Hong and Spring Vegetables smudge about this incident on the boat returning to Loufeus.

"Those who died because of it must be pathetic..."

"Some people even killed each other..."

"I know they try to modify the demons by nature, but at least they look and move a little bit more..."

"Don't you say it, Hiro..."

In the conversation between Hiroshi and Spring Vegetables, Tatsuya sandwiches his mouth again in a quiet manner.

"Why am I being told that?

"You know, I would be doing much the same thing to my Baldo opponent in Farlane..."

"Am I bothering the average person?

"It's exactly the same in the sense of humiliation on the side of the hit..."

Tatsuya says it all out, a subtly uninterrupted face of the Hiroshi. Reality issues, just the difference between whether the subject was or was not a cult official, do not change at all in terms of the frying sentences that demonized and tailored the foolish-looking creature to dangerous objects, causing great harm to the opponent in serious situations.

If you stand on the side of getting hit, you'll know better. On a day when I was hit hard in this way, my regrets and nastiness are many times worse than losing normally. Negative emotions are also likely to be amplified many times, which will generate distractions very efficiently.

It may be a coincidence that the research started more than 10 years ago, but this time, it's like Farlane's Baldo was given back the same interest.

"But whatever it looks like, as nature suggests, it's even more dangerous, isn't it..."

"They're not aggressive..."

"Rather, it's hard to get rid of it because it's not aggressive."

This case ended unexplained in many ways. In the end, the first uninformed ship and the first investigative team sent in had more than half of them dead, including the starving dead, and a team of third-degree adventurers also ended up with the result that one was nearly irreversibly injured and one more was still unconscious with a lot of damage. Those who did not die felt lucky to escape death from starvation or dehydration because they were in a state of temporary death as a condition abnormality that came close to a time stop.

With regard to the subspecies of pome, under the judgment that it was impossible to eradicate the finely escaped portion, the immediate response was at least to seal off the facility so that the demon-modified pome could not be produced, and to crush the hot spring. It is a common perception on the part of the parties concerned that, perhaps eventually, they will confirm all the places where the hot springs have sprung up and seal them with ties.

The damage alone will affect Lauren, the Knights and the Adventurers' Association considerably, but to this point, there is little that the Macros can do directly. At best, it would be about accommodating supplies.

"Were you here?"

"Ah, I'm tired"

By the time it was time to arrive at Loufeus, this time the captain of the Knights would show his face to Honda. Beside him is Linoa, a third-degree adventurer rescued by the leader of the Adventurers team and Higashi.

"This time, I really took care of a lot of things"

"No. I'm sorry if I'm unprepared and I'm out. I'm sorry if I let the dead die."

"No, without you, we would undoubtedly have been wiped out first. I'm not going to blame you, even if I have something to thank you for. Wouldn't you?

"... oh. There's no reason to think that I left you behind in a violent way, but thanks to you, I can live and hate you."

The adventurers who were taught the cause of the joke and were terribly depressed also apparently blew it out completely in two days. Conveniently there is a clear vendetta called the cult, so there is a place where anger bumps would be salvation in a sense.

"Before that, when it comes to the dead, it's not like you care. Jake and Olba died because in the end we weren't strong enough and ready enough. As far as the inhabitants of the island were concerned, there was nothing left to do when we arrived. I'm angry with the people who made strange modifications to the phrase that brought that joke here."

To the words of the leader, the captain of the knighthood nodding as he agrees.

"Everyone at the Azma Workshop. It's one of the iron rules of the adventurer not to carry the life of an adventurer like it was too late from the start and you never had a chance to get involved. 'Cause there's always a reason why monsters can wipe out villages and cities after a late start. If I care anyway, I'll break it. Besides, the only person who's really sad about saying that is the one who lost someone close to him."

He really cared about the magnitude of the damage and the fact that he was shocked to see it in person. As Linoa teaches, she tells of her experience of facing many situations as a high-ranking adventurer.

"One more thing later. As in this case, when it comes to a companion who was almost faceless, you basically are responsible on a team by team basis, so unless someone else on your team died or something, you don't have to feel responsible for reflection, rather you shouldn't feel responsible"

"What?"

"As far as I'm concerned, two of the Knights and two of your teams, so to speak, went outside the boundaries and suffered that damage because of a mistake in their judgment, didn't they? 'Cause it's a line where you can see the way in and out again."

"Right. So it's your own fault Jake and Olba are dead. If you guys feel responsible for that, then we're screwed, and there's a guy out there who's gonna shelf this immature and pass the blame on to you. Well, whoever shifts responsibility, whatever the circumstances may be, will shift responsibility."

"That's the thing, so you guys shouldn't feel responsible for doing what needs to be done properly and paying attention beforehand. In some cases, that's the same thing that insults them."

Linoa and the leader tell me, and I'm convinced it's something like that. I'm insulting you, I don't pin the meaning of it, but I'll leave it in a corner of my head that you'll see.

"And it was later in the conversation, but thank you for helping us. Sorry I'm late to say hello."

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

"Those two were also prepared to have no life, so I'd rather be thankful to have them treated that far. That's why I want to say thank you, including that. If it's true, you can pay for the treatment in words..."

"With such incomplete treatment, I wonder if I can take any money. Hey, Spring Vegetables?

"Yeah. It was as far as I could possibly fix it, but I couldn't fix it, so it's a little bit of a money taker"

Linoa smiles painfully at all sorts of words that come from her pride because she is a first-rate human being, and bows her head one thing. Look at that, Honda with a troubled face.

"If you keep doing this, you can't thank me for one thing, so call me anytime you need any manpower. I can't bother anyone else, so I can't do it on a boulder while I'm at it, but I'll run our team" El Verse "anytime else."

"Neither do we. But for the time being, I'm going to be busy giving the cult bastards a blood festival."

"Our team will cooperate fully within their authority if anything happens. Most importantly, I know what I can do..."

Three groups offering their full cooperation along with a heartfelt gratitude for not being able to make a big deal of it. The heavy heart lightens up just a little.

"In a real sense, it's still over, but thanks to Linoa and the others, something's finally over, I'm so uncomfortable"

"Right. But I'm sorry about the deceased, but honestly, when I get home, I want to at least have a par excellence at your birthday party and change my mood. I understand your point about Linoa, but it's still hard not to care, so if you don't do something about it, it's going to snap at the bottom..."

"I knew you'd do it..."

"Right. If there's a celebration or something, do par well. If you're not used to it, you won't be able to switch."

"Yeah. So hey, I'll try my best thoroughly"

Perhaps the biggest impact of this incident was that I turned on the extra spring vegetables. It was a great idea to think of such a thing as hard.
