chapter 41
#2
The streets of District 4 became crowded in an instant.
Whoa, whoa, whoa-!!
In an unprecedented situation, alarms began to sound in all directions, and the students who heard it either sprinted beyond the expected range of damage or watched with fear to see what was going on at the boundary line.
— Entry beyond this point is dangerous! Back off!
— Everyone, please return to the dormitory urgently!
The knights patrolling the streets, following urgent instructions from headquarters, took control of the situation and pushed the students further back.
Terror and fire in the middle of the night.
Although there have been occasional incidents of very simple incidents, this is the first time in recent years that such a large incident has occurred.
The frontier’s building was basically designed for security, but it was clear that it didn’t contribute much in this case. If so, it was such a serious matter.
Strictly speaking, the black smoke rising ominously soaring could be seen to have a completely different nature from that of a regular fire, but it could not cause further confusion among the students by making it public.
For this reason, among the messages delivered to the faculty of Frontier, including District 4, were that it was a demon-related incident, and that the cause of the incident should be identified and dealt with more seriously and promptly.
Tata Tata Tak—
Meanwhile.
There was one student who jumped into the building first before several professors who had received a message from the headquarters prepared for an emergency dispatch.
‘… … Ezio is in danger.’
It was a spontaneous move, as if there was no real concern. Because of that, there was no room for anyone to stop Mew.
Let’s step forward with explosive magic power on our right foot— bang! The floor was distorted and dug deep with the sound.
From that point on, Mew, who rushed forward like a storm, looked straight at the black smoke that appeared in front of him.
It caused a sword wind.
A neat crossbow came in. The black smoke pushed by the strong wind pressure was cut off in an instant.
However, something that didn’t seem like a normal smoke as Mew expected, when it was torn in two, a strange sound was heard. It sounded like a sympathetic monster screaming in pain.
Mu frowned at the sticky discomfort and slammed the floor roughly again. –bang!
Boo woo woo! 👌👌👌👌
There was no time to think.
While cutting and slicing the smoke in front of him, he ran towards the entrance of the building engulfed in darkness.
‘… … I don’t know what floor Ezio is on. You have to look around from the first floor.’
Excessive tension cools a person’s head and calms him down again.
The atmosphere around them was very friendly, but Mew swung his sword towards only one goal with a mind like a calm sleep. Whenever a line with a whitish blue afterimage was left in the space, the black smoke in it cracked and cracked.
“Heh, heh, heh, heh… … ”
Mew, who was running through the wind with her sight fixed on one spot, soon reached the doorway and found a man in a white robe limping out of the door and running away.
“Fuck, what the hell is this… … ”
“excuse me!”
It was probably related. The man with glasses looked at Mew in amazement, and Mew, who reached in front of the man at once, grabbed his shoulder and asked, growling as if he wanted to eat it.
“I heard there is a professor in charge of the epic class here, what floor is he on?”
What kind of spirit is so strong?
The man said trembling.
“… Mo, I don’t know. Epic class or whatever, there’s people all over the place. I, I have to get out of here… … !”
“Answer me.”
“Hey-.”
When the blue eyes met Mu’s sparkling eyes, the man, who was terrified with a hoarse voice, immediately shook his head and spoke quickly.
“… … Gee, I really don’t know! I don’t know! In the first place, this is not District 2, but District 4Ahh!”
The man with wide eyes widened his mouth.
“Hey, there was a professor who was newly appointed this time. I heard that he is a very famous and talented person… I, I don’t know because I’m at the end.”
“So what floor are you on?”
“Hey… Oh, maybe the top floor… work, go… !”
I got a not bad harvest. I wonder if it was needlessly frightening, but for now, it was more effective. Mew nodded and shoved his back to the man with the glasses cracked on one egg.
“thanks. Bye.”
At the same time as he spoke, he clasped his sword toward the man’s path and generated magical power.
In a normal swordsman, Mew’s sword, which had cut something that could not be cut, drew an afterimage of the half moon and continued forward. After opening the way for the man to escape, Mew immediately turned his back.
Immediately after, step forward again.
Quang!
‘… … The top floor, the top floor.’
It was the words of a man who looked young. It was an urgent situation, so I shouldn’t have believed it easily, but first of all, I was able to find out that Ezio was still inside the building because I had not seen Ezio outside the building yet.
Above all, the place where the black smoke first erupted was on the 15th floor, the top floor of the building. It was certain. It was clear that something had happened to Ezio there… …
Mu bit hard and tightly shut his lips, which was dripping with fresh blood, and let out a shallow voice in a really painful heart.
Presumably, it was the professor who personally called Ezio. Or something went wrong in the process of helping the research, and something like this happened… …
Neither of these had changed as much as the fact that Ezio’s life was in jeopardy, so Mew set aside all the other clutter that crept into his mind and recalled only one goal clearly.
——Rescue Ezio.
Being a frontier like no other, I had to rebuke myself for waiting patiently in the cafe. That shouldn’t have happened again. But in the end it turned out like this.
The best scenario imaginable from Mew’s point of view was for Ezio, who was incredibly strong compared to before, to escape from the building through his own perils.
However, Ezio must have been the first person to be directly exposed to this thick and heavy smoke. Didn’t the man I just met say that most of the people in the building collapsed? If I had suffered damage, I would have suffered, and there was absolutely no reason to be unharmed.
Boo woo woo! 👌👌👌👌
“… … Cologne, Cologne.”
Mew himself was rushing like this, but every time he inhaled the smoke, his body felt a little heavy. Cover your nose and mouth with your left hand and swing the sword with your other hand.
I don’t know how long I’ll be able to hold out, but it seemed like it would be after I successfully rescued Ezio that I was able to speak of Porgy.
‘never… I won’t lose it.’
wow.
Mew, who arrived at the doorway of the wide open building with a broken hinge, clenched her teeth hard, clenched her teeth, and quickly moved forward, seeing the people lying unconscious in the lobby.

District 2, Epic Class 2, female dormitory.
“… … Whoa.”
In a room located in the middle of the hallway on the first floor.
Yuri, who was sitting on a soft bed with only the soft scarlet light on, suddenly sighed. Then he leaned his little body on the back cushion and silently looked out the window over the terrace.
The secret meeting in the middle of the night ended abruptly.
It was because he could no longer afford to flirt with a leisurely snack in the midst of a serious incident.
It was a bit disappointing because there were so many things I wanted to say, but this time was not something I could only spend today. Unlike the royal palace, here, you could chat with your friends at any time until late in the morning. It was something that should be planned for the future.
Aside from such a pity, Yuri, who changed her pajamas after taking a pleasantly warm bath to go to sleep, had a different reason for sighing anxiously.
One hundred percent, no. one hundred and twenty percent.
As soon as Yuri’s parents, King Artina and Queen Artina, heard the news that a fire, terrorism, or anything like that had happened inside the Frontier, it was clear that they would abandon all state affairs and run right here.
“Ugh… … ”
When she imagined her parents worrying to the point of tearing up tears while fiddling with her daughter’s body, she felt like her forehead was throbbing again.
Yes, it was common. it will be anyway The best thing Yuri could do here was to send a letter in advance. He’s fine, so don’t even think about coming. When he comes, he says he will never return to the kingdom on vacation for five years… …
Slurry-.
Yuri ruffled her hair with both hands.
From the very beginning, she boasted silky hair without any special care, but with the fervent combing of the royal maids who loved Yuri, the pure gold hair had the utmost softness.
Yuri, who had let it flow like a waterfall through the gaps between her hands, which had been drooping and drooping due to the loosening of her hairband, once again let out a shallow, meaningless sigh, and then slowly leaked out of her lips.
“Whoa… ”
It’s not that I don’t understand the polarity of my parents. I know why you are doing this, so I can’t tell you to just go away. First of all, I also have a position.
If I disappear like this for three days or so, the country will be destroyed in the meantime, very. What are they worried about? I’m also worried about a lot of things.
Yuri’s immaculate hands, half exposed outside the sleeves of the soft silk pajamas dyed in pale pink, gripped the duvet tightly and covered it to the side of my waist.
Fluffy and warm It was comparable to the bedroom of the royal palace. The room was a little smaller than before, but Yuri liked this room more.
His room was unnecessarily large and unnecessarily large, so when he was crouching alone on the central bed, he suddenly felt an indescribable loneliness.
Yuri, who leaned back on the backrest with only her upper body sticking out, covered her with a blanket, and gently closed her eyes.
Let’s sleep in pitch black
Soon, a muffled voice sounds like an auditory hallucination.
— Yuri, my dear daughter. you, you… don’t go anywhere Please stay by our side. Don’t leave this ugly father alone… please… …
“… … ”
It was well past 10 o’clock at night when I had gone to bed, so I was probably tired, but somehow I couldn’t sleep at all.
As I was thinking about my parents, my thoughts came to them as well. It was a memory that suddenly came to mind when I was alone like this… …
Yuri, who had been silently looking out the window for a while, immediately recalled the warning sound that followed the warning sound she had heard earlier.

District 4 terrorism and fire. The possibility of a building chain explosion. It was a terrifying keyword just to hear.
I never dreamed that something like this would happen anywhere else on the Frontier. After all, it wasn’t like the best fortress in the Empire.
How could there be a terrorist attack in such a place? It was a major event that was sure to be talked about for a while.
… … You might have gotten caught up in it.
that guy is
no, what I was just looking for causation based on the facts. If it gets involved, it’s caught up, otherwise it’s not.
It could be that Rubia simply couldn’t find him on the Epic Class premises. Right now, in the dormitory on the other side of the road, I could be lying on my bed and sleeping without any worries. Even so, I had no desire to confirm the facts, though… …
Anyway, the chances are very low. District 4, where he was headed to meet the professor, was quite large, and even if there was a terrorist attack in any one place, he would be able to solve the problem as quickly as it was a frontier.
You’ll be fine, you know. There was no other reason to worry.
“… … under?”
At that point, Yuri sensed something strange and muttered to herself.
… … worry? who?
I?
that guy?
why?
You have to make a sound that makes sense.
This wasn’t a concern. There’s no way you’d be really worried about someone you’re not even close to, or who you don’t even want to be friends with.
To Yuri, that guy was a completely different person. Even so, he was not a complete outsider, but a close friend who had to meet face-to-face.
I stopped by District 4 to see the professor. Looks like he hasn’t come back yet. Something big happened to me in District 4 earlier.
After examining the causality like that, I thought that he might have gotten involved in the work. It was just there. After that, it didn’t matter what happened to Yuri.
You might get seriously injured in your life.
Even if we die tomorrow, it is not strange that our human life is… …
“… … ”
… … uhm.
Nope.
I thought wrong.

Dying is, after all, a bit like that.
If you hear the news that someone in your class has died in an accident, except for him right away, you’ll be concerned in any direction. That was unavoidable.
Isn’t this saying that the face that looked good up until yesterday has passed away forever? Anyone would hate such a grim experience.
okay.
So you don’t have to die.
I die… …
“… … Ai, really!”
Yuri nervously grabbed the blanket and pulled it out.
She covered her head all the way down, slid her body down from the backrest, and lay roughly on the bed.
… … Who says death is going to die?
I’m in the same epic class as me, so should I be subjected to something like terrorism? The reputation of the Epic class is going down. If you’re going to get involved, it’s better to solve the case nicely.
I don’t know. you’ll be fine
Anyway, don’t worry. No, no.
What’s the gain I get from worrying about such a guy? It just makes me feel worse.
I’d rather get hurt a little. I wish I was given a punishment for teasing me and making me angry.
… … However, if I get really badly injured and come back, I feel like I cursed, so maybe one molar would be adequate.
is not it. I think it would be more ridiculous to have my eyes swelled up because of being hit by someone. If that happened, I was confident that I would make fun of them, saying that they are like fish.
“.”
That would be pretty fun. Yuri gasped in the blanket and suddenly smiled.
“… … I feel stupid.”
It was nothing like muttering to that guy to himself, but perhaps it was also applicable to himself, who was imagining nonsense.
So whether you intended it or not.
It was Yuri that naturally made me think of Ezio Cranil, who was going to be in District 4 for a while… …

“Collock, Collock… … ”
1st floor of Lunatic Building.
It was dark and dark inside.
The power supply was cut off by something and the power outage occurred. Maybe even the emergency power supply is broken? I couldn’t see well because of the dark smoke, but it was very difficult because even the light was blocked.
woo woo woo… …
In the end, he had no choice but to start the search, relying on the blue light of his magical power. Mu secured a view of the surroundings through the magical energy emitted from the sword.
As the man who ran away said earlier, the people who could not evacuate lost their minds and fell to the floor.
People who lost consciousness lying on their desks, or overlapping and overlapping. A number of similar sights could be found even in the open door.
Unfortunately, Mu could not afford to rescue them now. Soon, other than yourself, the frontier side will send in personnel to rescue these people.
These men were left entirely to them, and Mew himself had to find Ezio somewhere in this building before anyone else.
Mew removed the hands that were covering her nose and mouth and shouted in a very high voice.
“Ezio-senpai——!!”
Echoes bounced all over the place. Mew’s cry echoes loudly. But the expected answer did not come from anywhere.
“… Isn’t there… … ”
I looked around the entire first floor at high speed, taking care not to step on people, through the smoke, and after confirming that there was no Ezio, I sprinted straight for the stairs. Of course, there was no elevator available.
“senior–!! Where are you–!!”
Mu became more impatient.
I was told it was definitely the top floor. In that case, it would be better to look around the top floor first and then go down one by one.
Jumping up the dark stairs at once, as Mew arrived on each floor, she opened the door and called Ezio’s name.
Tak Tak Tak Tak-
The inside of the building was bizarrely quiet and quiet. Thanks to this, Mew’s cry spread more clearly, but there was still no answer.
Is Ezio also lying unconscious like the people downstairs? When I got to the top floor, I thought that I should check each person’s face one by one.
“Collock, Collock…ね… … ”
The concentration of smoke became thicker as we went up the floor. I couldn’t even cut it properly when I generated the same magical power.
Mu’s magic circuit burned even hotter. The blood rushed through the whole body, and sparks flew away. When he felt a roaring vibration from the sword, Mu drew it horizontally. It wiggles and splits again and climbs the stairs through the open path.
“Ezio——!! Where are you–!!”
Where are you, old man?
If you can hear me, answer me.
please…
If I stayed here, no matter how much Myu was, it wouldn’t be safe. Ezio’s recruits must be secured and escaped as quickly as possible, but even the shadows cannot be seen.
“haha… … ”
Holding on to my breathing, which was getting steeper, I climbed the 13th floor and finally opened the 14th floor door.
“Ezio———!! Answer if you hear… … !”
Mew stopped crying for a moment.
Then he raised a hand.
“… … Wait a moment.”
Soon, he narrowed his brow and listened to something.
… … thud.
… … coo coo.
I was definitely caught up in the feeling of Mew’s edge. Mew immediately poured all his nerves into it and began to focus on it.
There was a slight vibration.
No, it may feel that way from where I am standing now, but it was a shock so huge that the entire floor vibrated.
what. What happened?
The sound, which was initially only small, grew bigger and bigger. A vibrating sound as if something was crashing down from above, gurgling——
——Quaang!
“… … !”
Far from the door that Mew opened.

Dust like crumbs rose like a cloud from the ceiling, then shattered and collapsed with a roar.
Koo!
“Well, what… !”
Something landed in the fallen rubble.
I couldn’t figure it out at all.
“… … ”
Whoops.
Mew had an intuition that something unusual had happened, so he adjusted his swordsmanship again.
Bump, Bump… …
You walk slowly into the open door, ready to respond at any time. The inside, which was engulfed in darkness, could only be seen faintly in the center except for the blind spots in the field of vision.
gulp.
swallowed saliva nervously approaching.
spurt.
A strange sound was heard.
“… … —.」
… … are you a person What do you mean?
The whitish light emanating from the sword in Mew’s hand begins to reveal the form of something buried in the rubble, albeit vaguely.
If it was an enemy, he was ready to cut it down at any time.
But.
“… … uh?”
All of a sudden…
With a cry that didn’t look like a living thing, he got up from his crouched body.
Then, the dirty body of something was illuminated by the light from the magic power, and it was clearly visible in Mew’s view.
At that moment.
“——!”
Mew almost dropped the sword from his hand.
He was so startled that he made his eyes so round that he couldn’t open it any further, and shut his mouth spinally reflexively, not to avoid inhaling dangerous smoke.
“… … Stand up, senpai?”
Something staggering there.
“… … Whoa—.”
The person he had been looking for so much, and at the same time, was in a strange state, unlike the figure Mew knew… … It was Ezio Cranil.
