Well...

How should I judge what is happening?

From somewhere, a magic beast happened to enter - no matter how much I think of myself as a stray stone, I don't have a smooth head.

Normally speaking, there is nothing more to interpret as' brought in '.

You should leave it where it came from for now.

Most importantly, 'how' it was brought in.

........

I'm imagining things that aren't very pleasant right now.

The imperial castle is well guarded and has regular walking tours.

And today, on Clara's apprenticeship exam day, the soldiers would have been more eye-catching than usual.

Nevertheless, a bug appeared here.

Even if Michemon's "vision of the future" is blocked, this series of disturbances cannot be considered a "mere coincidence".

I mean, intentionally.

And then, arrowheads...

(Same method as Cyril....?

Um, a small 'gate'.

It's easy to carry around...

Assuming so, the beast will suddenly gush out at this moment.

(But there's something worse...)

If only it were the same.

(Mm...?

But before that,

"... uhh, uhh..."

Clara seems anxious.

We need to find a clue. Whatever it takes, we need to make sure she's safe.

(Should I join Michemon first?)

Looking a little further ahead, a "Rock Wall" appeared there.

Probably not before.

The fact that I deliberately added it...

("Don't come here.")

Is there anything you don't want her to see?

Or did you decide it was more dangerous?

Either way, we should respect Michemon's will.

And what should I do?

(If a crisis of the same mass as Cyril is imminent, we should rendezvous with Abel without one or two.)

Or should I rely on the village girl's strong faction?

But the problem here is Michemon's behavior.

His only message was' Don't come '.

If he were just a careless person, he would have made a 'mistake', but I don't think that hideout is busy.

After what happened on your granddaughter's test day, we should consider this a disturbance targeting the Marquis of Ventershoven.

Then perhaps it is bad for the "other factions" to know about the noise.

(The shade on the other side was also sealed off, so it probably won't be completely windless.....)

I don't think it's a mistake to rush into trouble right now.

Then there's nothing I can do.

Find out where the Gate is.

I think this is it.

Regardless of whether you deal with it internally or rely on the 'External Forces', there is nothing you can do without knowing where the magic equipment at issue is.

(If Fei or Abel were here, they'd be able to pick up the signs right away...)

Unfortunately, I'm the only one here who's a Pompom Magic Apprentice.

I have to do what I can with my hands.

"... hi!

Clara screamed.

It was just there that the fanatic wolf "out of space" was gushing out.

I have come to the inference that I may be using the "gate".

But you saved my life in a double sense.

One is that it's easier to get rid of it on the way out than after it comes out.

(Sticky water...!

He poured muddy water into the wolf's mouth, where the place was fixed.

My mucous water has a duration, and after a certain amount of time it becomes just water, but this time I will make the most of this characteristic.

If you fill your organs with viscous water, you can't spit it out, and your lungs can flood and be disposed of easily.

And over time, it becomes just water, and you can hide the existence of "special water."

And the other one...

"Ah, Alto-sama...!?"

I filled up the distance and touched the space.

(Root, interference...!

I have this in my few hands.

The opening and closing time of the space has been learned in Cyril.

That's why I know I don't have time to manipulate this magic.

But if you touch magic, you'll know exactly which direction the "gate" is at its core.

(I saw it....)

Mitchemon had a lot of reactions.

They disappear as soon as they show up, but is this a quick fix?

Beyond that rock wall is the Son Machine.

This will create a small "exit" over there.

Was it to attack Michemon and the others from behind?

But the road is blocked by rock walls.

If we abandon this place, we won't be pinned down.

(If so, you should move immediately)

She lifted up the princess who was lying down again.

"... cum!? Ah, Alto-sama...!?"

Is this a very disrespectful act?

But I don't have time to explore other means.

"I'll run. Don't bite your tongue!

"Fhh!? Fhhhhhh...!

I ran as far as I could through the unseen route I saw before I got here.

That's how we got to another empty spot.

As usual, this is the back of the building.

The man who caused this disturbance - I don't know if it's singular or plural - seems to be familiar with the construction of this castle.

(Well, I also know the existence of a secret underground passage and the correct route to the castle, so I may be one of the bad guys....)

But look, there's nothing here.

During Cyril's time, there were obvious and suspicious magical objects installed...

(Do you hide it more subtly? Or is this a diversion?

I have no power to sense magic.

That's why I don't know the exact location, even if I come close.

It would be quick to talk if the monster came out earlier, but that's what I call it arbitrarily in the "submachine", and it wasn't like Cyril on the other side. I can't expect anything convenient.

In the first place, the killer probably doesn't know that my presence is coming here, and he probably didn't intend to expose the monster next to the "parent machine" before that.

(Now, how do I find a suspicious machine...)

It would be nice if you could find something that works with attention and can be discovered from the thought that has been played, but it is a problem if you don't understand it like that.

In that case, it's the only way to discover something like Michemon-san's...

(Who can predict Michemon-san's vision of the future and take countermeasures? Even if other futuristic people were here, could they discover it?)

If anyone can do that, in some cases, it will be a monstrous existence to outnumber or enlist that old magician.

Such a convenient person...

"Rururururu... Rururururu...."

There was a terrible fainting voice in the empty space behind me.

At the same time, someone stuck his back tightly.

"Ah, you..."

Clara is shocked.

Mm-hmm.

I'm surprised, too.

Because I never imagined this girl would come here.

By the way, I was on maximum alert, and I didn't think I'd get clams and my back.

"Mmm... Al, did you catch him...?

Someone was climbing up to my back with a loud voice.
