It's all one flower.

The gap in the building, across the alley, makes Lake Lacus look thin.

Leno gave up crossing the National Highway west and decided to head to the lake.

"Excuse me, please let me through"

Speaking up, scratch the crowd in a swimming motion.

I finally got out in front of the hardware store. Beyond the show windows, shopkeepers and clerks watch anxiously the crowd overflowing the street.

Leno snuggled along the show windows, sliding his body between the store and the private house.

Freed from the oppression of man, goosebumps appeared in the cold of the wind blowing from the lake during the bundle of horrible as well.

I don't have a coat or anything. I just put an apron on top of my everyday clothes. If you are a wizard, you will overcome the cold with clothes woven with [cold] resistance.

In Reno, a people without power, it does not go that way.

... if you run, it'll warm you up.

Tilt your body slightly, and it's finally through the alley for a small run that passes by one person. For two private houses, I ran through and looked up.

At the edge of the fishing port. Lake Lacus shines gently on a thin winter day.

Leno prayed to Panisea Uni Flora, goddess of the lake, looking south. The explosion sound is followed by a splash of fragments.

... bomb... huh?

I remember Cruillo's words and my legs trembled for reasons not cold.

Firehands and black smoke approaching from the south.

The unfamiliar light sound is followed by screaming and yelling.

... guns... machine guns? Father, Mother......!

The tip of the flame is only about ten private houses away.

A dozen cops and residents of the people of the lake have combined to set up the lake water with the art of [manicured water] and hit the extinguishing fire.

Despite all the people with weak magic, only a few buckets of water can be discharged at a time. It also suddenly falls like a jerk lost his mind. Spills to the ground before it reaches the source of the fire, completely useless in extinguishing the fire.

Extraordinary fire squads are caught in smoke and fire increases within coughing.

Reno, a powerless people, ran north.

As expected, the fishing boats are paying for everything. With no extinguishing pump or anything, there was nothing Leno, who was not a wizard, could do.

Heading north on the eastern shore of the lake, he drove west along the poking Njefried Canal, deciding to go for Iron and Steel Park.

The canal flows through the border between the district of Seljebro at the northern end of the city of Zerneau and the district of Jelizo, where the fishing port is located.

Leno made every effort to run through an almost deserted fishing port.

From time to time while running, peek down the boulevard through the gaps in the houses. I could see people getting stuck tight and unable to move.

... Why are you so stuck?

If you reach the Njefried Canal, the national highway and sidewalk will also turn west. From there, you can go up the hill to the hinterland of Nenia.

I don't think we'll extend the burning to the other side of the canal, to the Seljevrou district.

Where the national highway meets the canal, there is an open and closed bridge. There must be a lot more people fleeing there and further north. The road to the west will be empty.

Leno thinks as he runs, but he didn't know anything due to lack of information.

Hundreds of hearings are only at first sight.

... if you go, you'll see.

My sisters are worried, but at school, I felt like the teachers were going to do something about it. They may be turning the school building into a shelter and freeing the house to the burned people.

The police and the army should also use the school yard as a base for rescue and defense.

My parents were more worried.

Firefighters are already at home and shopping (of course), passing a remote point. We're all the same.

My parents and Cruello have to believe that they're near here, too.

The people of the lake and the powerful people of the land are not arching their hands at all. Some residents join firefighting activities, not at the disposal of the fire department or the police.

... Even those who fight back against terrorists will be there.

About 30% of wizards are long-lived races that live for nearly a thousand years if nothing happens.

Among ordinary people are warriors who survived half a century of civil strife. Nor is that old in only thirty years. Enough, I can fight as an active warrior.

... The Autonomous Communities don't think about it. Even though I don't have a wack to win.

If the wizards turn to counter-attacks, they will soon be suppressed.

What happens if we sell fights that have no prospect of winning? Leno felt sorry for Kirkuls in the Autonomous Region for a reckless bee he didn't think about later.

Reno ran. I ran anyway.

My legs have been fast since I was a young girl, and I've never lost to a kid my age in a rush. I like to run and still run about an hour in the house and neighborhood park every morning except on rainy days.

Leno... "Reindeer" was a designation given by the color of his handsome feet and hair.

Run even, through an unmanned fishing port.

Both the fish market and the drying plant were quiet.

Breathing disturbed, sweat in my eyes. Wipe (soak) the sweat that flows with your sleeves, it won't stop.

If you go to the steel park at the rendezvous point, you'll see everyone.

Believing that was all, I kept running with my white breath running back.

By the time the sun began to tilt, he went out to the Njefried Canal, which flows along the northern edge of the district of Jerizo, along the border with the district of Seljebro.

The bridge is rising. The bridge's operating board is locked and there's nothing I can do about it. People and cars inevitably turned west on the road along the canal.

You can see the crowd ahead. Leno loosened his legs slightly and approached the crowd. Wipe sweat with your sleeves as you breathe roughly. On the left hand side the walls of the houses continue. Beyond that, I have no idea what's going on down the road.

The cause of the crowd was a pile of rubble.

Closer, I found that people were removing rubble with their bare hands.

... are you buried alive?

The smell of petrol is thick around. Seeing it, a large truck had been overthrown and devoured into a pile of rubble. He couldn't get through the corner and knocked down two or three private houses.

The lane continues beyond the private house.

Both cars and pedestrians were slowing down to avoid the accident scene.

The explosion sounds in my belly.

"Hey there! Give it up already!"

"The fire's getting that far!

"We're gonna ignite the gas!

To the voice from the sidewalk, those who dig the rubble raised their faces simultaneously, and turned south. Leno is also followed and looks back.

... You're lying, right? I ran so much...

Stunned.

The fire was imminent in front of a section. The sound of the machine gun is also closer than earlier.

A runaway kills into an alley and steps over the rubble. I'm not anywhere near rescue anymore. Leno is also pushed away by the flow of people.

It overcomes the debris and flows westward and west along the banks of the canal.

Some of them fell into the canal out of momentum.

Which way (Michi) can't help falling in the middle of winter canal with his clothes on? I can't even afford to help now.

The water thrived.

The people who fell into the canal disappear one after another shortly after they scream. Water moving like a creature swallows one who clings to shellfish attached to the shoreline in an attempt to crawl up.

Lake demons.

Lost in this world from the ghost world, they inhabited Lake Lacus.

Things that have just appeared in this world don't have a certain flesh. It is almost (mostly) integrated with lake water, but due to the protection of the lake goddess, the growth rate is much slower than that of terrestrial demons.

Whenever we eat the creatures of this world, our presence in this world becomes certain. In the civil war ahead, some things ate a lot of human flesh, gained flesh and gained even more strength.

Demons also inhabit (at best) the canal that connects Lake Lacus to the Niefriet River.

Leno proceeded through the crowd as he stopped inland to stay away from the canal. Slip through people and through dense areas. From there, I ran again.

You must be tired, but your legs moved on like reindeer.

The sunset is dazzling.

Leno ran with his eyes narrowed.
