Hug me as I am transferred by scrolling...... Clinging to it, Amako foresaw that soon after this he would be surrounded by enemies and attacked en masse.

I immediately put on my Thunder Beast mode and decided to leave the place as fast as I could, dodging all attacks, while hugging Amako tightly so as not to shake her off.

Kicking walls and sometimes running as he jumps out of the small doorway of the arena.

The soldiers of the Demon King's army can't even follow my movements with their eyes.

 

"Do you mean it's a narrow passage for me?"

 

However, soldiers patrol the narrow passages quite often, far from the wide arena that has been skipped by scrolls, and if you try to force your way, a large number of soldiers will rush into this narrow passage.

Moving at high speeds is meaningless if the range of action is narrowed.

And the ultimate is--

 

"Suzune, stop, there's a trap in the wall."

"It's scrolling that works on people who have a certain speed, and it does it."

 

Witchcraft written on parchment pasted on the wall.

Amako says that if I get caught in this, a spell-like spell will be applied to Nea's restraint, and on top of that, the surrounding soldiers will be informed of my existence.

 

"Suzune"

"What is it?"

"It's painful."

 

He had just released the Thunder Beast mode and was still holding Amako in his arms.

The reason why I'm not distraught in a cornered and tense situation is because I have someone in my arms to protect.

I hug Amako's body even more, keeping an eye on my surroundings.

 

"There may still be danger......!"

"You can't see anything with your foreknowledge, can you?"

"No, the clairvoyant magic isn't perfect, but don't worry. As long as I'm here, I'll protect you."

"If anything, I want you to protect me from the tins."

 

Saying this, Amako slipped out of my arms and began to walk slowly.

 

"Follow me."

「…… Amako's warmth ......"

"Draw normally"

 

Amako looks sorry for me, but her face turns pale as she walks down the narrow passage.

Judging by the black dome overhead and the changes in the city, it's natural to assume that the place has become a fortress -- or a labyrinth.

 

"The fact that we have been transferred to the interior of the city means that you can assume that the Usato who have also been transferred are also in this city."

"First of all, let's find Mr./Ms. Usato and Leona.

 

Amako nodded and stopped, and from around the corner she heard the soldiers talking.

 

"Did you hear that? The guys in the outer wall squad are busy dealing with the brave flying heroes.'

"In the previous battles, I shouldn't have been flying."

 

"Looks like Kazuki-kun is here too."

"If you want to fly, there's only Kazuki."

 

From here, surrounded by a dim sky, I couldn't see the sky, but it was good to be able to confirm Kazuki's presence.

I wondered if I could gather a little more information, and as I listened with Amako, a new soldier gathered.

The soldier, who looks somewhat delirious, clings to his fellow soldiers in a half-cry.

 

"Oh, dude, what's wrong?"

"Oh...... Drilling...... Goho!'

"Calm down and take a deep breath."

"Oh, the devil...... It'...... out!'

 

"Oh, it's Usato."

"I think you'll be convinced by that."

 

No, I know it's going to be him by the elimination method.

That's why I feel sorry for Usato.

 

"The devil has disappeared somewhere along with the hero who controls ...... ice! I'm trying my best to find them right now, but maybe they're here too, so please tell ......everyone about this!"

"Understood, tell me the characteristics of the demon."

"It has black wings on its horns, and you can tell it when you see it."

 

Is it really Usato-kun?

Glancing at Amako, she also has a subtle expression.

Maybe it's a real devil or a line.

 

"He's usually wearing the skin of a healing wizard, don't let his appearance fool you......

"It was Usato-kun."

"It was Usato."

 

After the two of them are convinced and look at each other, they leave the place and move on.

To summarize the previous information, Kazuki is in the middle of a battle in the sky.

Usato and Leona are just like the rest of us, leaving the arena of battle and lurking.

 

"I'd like to say that the first priority is to join up with Usato-kun and Leona, but it's quite difficult to find them while avoiding the soldiers."

"yes, even if you use clairvoyant magic to avoid patrolling, your range of movement will be limited."

 

First of all, the premise is that we must reach the Demon King while conserving as much magic as possible.

The reason why the Demon King separated us was to exhaust our strength in the battle with the soldiers stationed in each of them.

In this situation, I have only one choice.

 

"We should go to the Demon Lord."

"Why don't you join us?"

"We're going to the same place in the end, so there's a good chance we'll be able to join you there."

"If that's the case, I get it."

 

In order to do that, you have to find out where the Demon King is from the soldiers.

I told Amako about it, and she nodded sternly.

 

"Then let's find someone who can be caught."

 

As soon as he said that, he began to walk again without warning.

No, it's not that she's unguarded, it's that she's already safe because of the foreknowledge she sees.

As proof of this, he has a complete grasp of the location of the soldiers passing by.

 

"Hmm...... It's just right."

 

Amako picks up a stone lying at her feet.

Then I hear the footsteps of soldiers nearby.

 

"Suzune, do as I instruct."

"Uh, yes?"

"Don't hesitate...... Ah, now. Stop."

 

Amako's voice stopped her in her tracks, and five soldiers of the Demon Lord's army crossed in front of her.

If even one person turns to look at you, he will be caught, but for some reason, no one will look at you and will cross the aisle and disappear to the other side.

 

"Okay, go ahead, maybe we should run a bit."

 

Next, run to match the amako.

As she runs along with her walking in front of her, she sees a soldier coming from the front just as she is about to turn a corner to the right, but at the same time, Amako throws the stone she picked up earlier forward.

 

"Hmm, what? …… Stone?'

 

The soldier's eyes turn to the stone that fell at his feet.

In the meantime, we turned the corner to the right and avoided being spotted.

…… It reminds me that clairvoyant magic is really bad magic.

After that, Amako, who has a complete grasp of the opponent's behavior pattern, slips past the patrolling soldiers.

And then...

 

"I found it."

 

Amako muttered, stopping and pointing to an alley a little further on.

 

"In ten seconds, there will be only one soldier coming from here, and even if you catch him now, you won't be caught."

"It's okay."

 

He pulls the sword he holds in his opposite hand from its scabbard and jumps into the alley at the right time.

Just as Amako had predicted, I saw a soldier appear, and in an instant I went behind him and put the blade to his throat.

 

"Don't move."

"Hi, Yu, Brave ......"

"If you keep quiet, you won't take your life."

 

For the time being, he throws the sword and tools he carries at his waist to the ground and sits on the spot.

 

"Amako, how long is it before the next round?"

「…… yes, I'll be fine for a little while."

"Then I'm going to interrogate you--"

"Well, leave it to me."

 

Amako makes eye contact with the soldier who crouches helplessly.

Seeing the look on Amako's face and looking a little relieved that she judged him to be a child, she didn't hesitate to ask him a question.

 

"Where is the Demon Lord?"

"What?"

"Tell me where the Demon King is."

"Well, I can tell you that--"

"Can't you say? Yeah...... Yeah...... I'm in a castle. Did the Demon King's magic sink the castle underground? The Demon King has given you a map beforehand...... To whom? yes, yes, yes."

 

In front of a female soldier who stubbornly refuses to interrupt her mouth, Amako wrestles with an unnatural soliloquy.

Even though she hasn't said anything, Amako says more and more information that she should be hiding, and the soldier begins to tremble as she struggles.

 

"Suzune, I heard that this man's squad leader has a map of the castle that has sunk underground."

"Oh, why!? Why ......!?"

"I'm a clairvoyant wizard, so I just put into words what scared you."

 

Amako says so, and then stuns the soldier with a light electric shock.

I've thought about it many times when I look at my master, but I think that clairvoyant magic is a scary magic.

It can also be used in battle, and above all, it's honestly amazing that it can be used in this way.

 

"It's like you're constantly redoing important choices."

"Don't say anything you don't understand, I'll go get the squad leader as soon as possible."

"Oh, yes, I'm sorry."

 

Involuntarily becoming an honorific word, I follow Amako.

The female soldier was put to bed in the shadows, so it is unlikely that she will be found for the time being.

 

"By the way, what did you say when you said that you were scared?"

"It looks like he's met Usato's on the battlefield."

"Oh, that's right......

 

Well, it's not crazy because Usato seems to be running from one end of the battlefield to the other.

But why are you here, Usato-kun? As I was thinking about it, Amako, who was searching around, uttered the following words.

 

"So I told him that if he didn't speak, he would give it to the devil, and he cried and spoke."

"Don't you say you're starting to look like Usato-kun?"

"Really? Well let's see...... Thank you?"

"I'm not complimenting you, are you?"

 

What is the reaction?

I'm in a lot of alikes!

Feeling a little jealousy, I quickly changed my mind and clutched the sword in its scabbard.

 

"Usato-kun, you're fine, aren't you......?"

 

A voice that will never reach him who is not here.

We are in the middle of enemy territory, and we are in the same place, but the distance feels helplessly far away.
