Seventh day of the march.
Ged slime appeared only once, and other vicious monsters appeared frequently, but they were defeated one after another by adventurers active in the desert and brave Jera soldiers. The desert creatures in the air are gladly attacked when they find us, the large amount of prey we see after a long time. I returned everything and recovered the monsters that could be used as food. Since we are consuming a week's worth of food, it is natural to reserve it as a reserve.
The only thing that was dangerous was that during the camp on the 5th day, one of the soldiers had to do something, so he left the camp and got hooked on it. At that time, I, Ariana, and Barbara, who were nearby, rushed to escape the soldier with Barbara's floating magic, Ariana defeated Snajigoku with gravity magic, and I treated the soldier with white magic and got nothing.
"There is a magical remodeling facility over that dune."
"Yeah…"
"Let's rescue everyone at all costs"
"Hmm…"
The study team finally arrived at the destination.
It was a really long week.
Deep in the desert of Kubo, it is a place with a magical remodeling facility. As the Agnas Party crossed the dunes for reconnaissance, I saw an eerie facility with white outer walls standing in the middle of the desert.
After waiting for the night, it was decided to carry out the rescue operation.
As for the flow, as soon as the night comes, advance the carriage to the front of the dunes and create a position using the wood magic lower class "Tree Wall Timber Wall". After that, they divided into an "infiltration team" and a "waiting team" to invade the magic remodeling facility, and returned to the base in sequence from the "infiltration team" party that secured the children. The person who is there goes to the magic remodeling facility again.
After taking a nap and resting, the surroundings became dark.
Ten carriages line up in a row, and Umarakuda pokes his neck into the water that the soldiers put into the tub with "water" and drinks it deliciously.
Because I couldn't fight if I was hungry, the meal before the operation was served.
Because of the fire magic, there was no noticeable cooking smoke. To be on the safe side, the smoke is scattered with a "wind", and the odor that attracts monsters is eliminated by the deodorant magic of the earth system.
Ah soup Umee ~.
Don't calm your mind with warm soup on a chilly desert night.
"Ariana, eat well. It's going to be a long night."
"Hmm, that's right ..."
"how are you?"
"Perfect"
"me too"
"Elie's purification magic is the key to this operation. I'll tell you if anything happens."
Agnus holding the soup laughed at his white teeth.
Agnas can take leadership, so it looks like he will be a good person for managers in Japan. His attitude is generous and nimble, and his subordinates are well-received.
"Hohohohoho, the sake you drink after being banned is delicious."
Grandfather seems happy to drink alcohol.
I, Ariana, Agnus, Pokaji, Jean Jean, three female adventurers and three Agnas parties, a total of eleven, surrounds a simple chair and table made with earth magic. Spicy roasted meat with tomato-style vegetable-rich soup and dried pigoo meat soaked in water and fried. Ariana and I ate the rice balls we made. It seems that the turn of the lookout has come around for Kuchi Beer, and it is not here.
"It 's got rice grains again."
Ariana eating rice balls had rice grains in her mouth, so I'll pick them up.
Is it a guardian? Am I a guardian?
"Thank you ..."
"No"
Smiley and cute.
It doesn't matter if you are a guardian.
"Don't relax with two people"
"I agree"
"Do you think Aniki does that too?"
Agnus laughed funny, Klimt in the priesthood nodded mysteriously, and Don in a short cloak made a smile.
The evening meal eaten under the starry sky was delicious.
The night sky, which is colored in a seiza that is completely different from the earth, shines the stars that are about to fall, and the illuminated sandy land continues to create dunes, expanding the fantastic space that romantists seek and never stop. There is.
The reason why you can feel weird in front of the operation is that these adventurers who have passed through many shrines are nearby. It's comfortable because everyone is natural.
While indulging in thought for a while, I looked up at the sky.
Claris, Barry, and Amy in Grafner. Joe and Misa are creating new designs. Elizabeth wonders if her love is going well. Everyone at Kobashigawa Shokai. Dried squid and gargain, and flax shit. Anxious Golden House.
And many events in Japan passed through my head and disappeared like a flash of light. Presentations that I couldn't do, and days when I exchanged many business cards by exchanging greetings many times. Is Tanaka sad because I'm dead? No, I don't think so, but miraculously if my body still remains in some way, he'll watch over it. For example, becoming a plant human.
There seems to be such a miracle.
It was confirmed that he was dead, and if he had been cremated, it would be out to return to the original state.
No, somehow I could call the wreckage over here and play it with supermarket miracle white magic. If you don't think you can do it, your spirit will go crazy. Even though I am an iron-hearted genius, it is a little difficult to live without hope.
Then, when I revived as me, I would move to Japan with some kind of super miracle magic.
Yaba. I'm really positive. Positive man. Yay.
"Mmm!"
Thoughts were interrupted by a poker voice.
――Gagagagagagagaga!
Suddenly, a lump of ice, about the size of a two-story building, flew like a bullet, and a poker jumped onto the table and caught it with his right hand. Along with the sound of the tableware cracking, the simple table made of earth magic broke in an instant, and the poker landslides several meters.
An unpleasant fricative sounded, and on the right hand of the Pokaji who seemed to have strengthened his body, a lump of ice sharpened like an arrow rotated like a dance and melted steadily.
"Mun"
When the Pokaji got enthusiastic, the ice block shattered into pieces.
"What the hell is that ?!"
In a hurry, jump away and get ready for battle.
"Pull the carriage and leave here!"
Pokaji shouted with a sword curtain that he had never seen.
Even if that is said, the carriage cannot be started immediately without knowing the reason.
When I looked up at the sky where the ice flew while kneading magical power so that anything could happen, a man in a robe was floating in the night sky with floating magic, and I took a breather in spite of the strange atmosphere.
What is that man?
The man's face had arrogance that seemed to have been gathered from all over the world, and his cold eyes glaring at everything were directed at the adventurer and Jera's soldiers. However, perhaps lost interest in just a few seconds, he quickly turned his gaze to Pokaji.
He is nearly two meters tall, and despite his cheeks being muffled, his eyes are wide open like birds of prey aiming for prey, causing fear and unreasonable aversion to the viewer.
The deep blue hair that cannot be found on Earth extends to the waist, and even his beard is blue.
He holds a terrifying cane about two meters in gold in his hand.
It 's dangerous. Absolutely bad!
It 's the strongest I 've ever had.
I feel the magical power of bare hostility.
A warm enemy?
I've been glaring at Pokaji since a while ago.
I'm just working on magical power!
I'm trying to use magic that even I can tell that it's abnormal!
The blue-haired man shook his height by nearly two meters, slowly approaching us, and staring at him with caution.
He will be in his fifties. He released his hatred from his whole body with magical power, and a red bird like a big parakeet was on his shoulder.
What is that guy!
Are you definitely trying to attack? !!
"What do you mean by Pokaji !?"
When Pokaji looks at me, he mutters to me, "That man, Icarerius," and tells me to run away with his eyes.
What! ??
Icarerius? !!
Icarerius is the legendary wizard Icarerius who Claris said many times that he had fought with Pokaji in the past? !!
Officially, is it the southern mage Icarerius?
The one on the shoulder is that red bird that Pokaji told me to take a look at before.
Hey, hey, hey, it 's really good!
The other side isn't ready to fight!
Icarerius, a blue-haired, blue-bearded man, slowly descended into the desert land, as the king drips past his subordinates. And when he raised his cane, he muttered in a quiet voice.
"" Absolute Zero Simplicial Complex Absolute Gengar "..."
Suddenly, two 10-meter-sized magic circles with a geometric pattern appeared from the man's back, attached to his back like feathers, and absorbed by Icarerius' shoulders as if sucked.
