1485 War and Peace, Part 23 - Trial of the Instructor ① -

"What!?

"Hey, what are you going to do?

"I told you, the trials have already begun. Unfortunately, even True Dragon has this body. True dragons are better than they were when they fought demons. Perhaps the end is near as a species."

"That great thing. What do you mean, you?"

To Lisa's hostility, Earthgal smiled back.

"It doesn't make a difference to be just human. But I don't think it's any closer to the truth than a true dragon. Oh, speaking of the old race, so does Tetrapolishka. Even though it is an extinct species, such as the multieyed heavens, it would have been useful if at least its demonic eye had been removed at the time of death. I've been a careless woman since I was younger.

If you really think about your daughter, don't you think you should?

Earthgal pointed the water at Victoria, but that was the biggest insult to them. Even the inherently warm Victoria couldn't stand all this.

"I don't know how awesome a wizard you are, but undo what you're saying!

"I'm not a wizard, I'm a mentor. Use the words exactly. Or was your mother only educated to that extent?

"You!"

The moment Victoria tried to grab me by Earthgal, the chains jumped out and tangled her just like Maia did. Wictrier resisted as hard as he could to tear the chain apart, but it was utterly futile. Wictrier seemed careless, this time sunk to the floor.

Line and Fostina, who felt in danger, put up their weapons, but Rana and Alphilis took control of it.

"Wait!

"Calm down!

Two people who stop at that word right there. Groundgal was sitting, smiling slightly.

"Wise."

"... haven't you finished explaining it yet? If you say it's a trial, what kind of trial is it? You should also tell me how to end it"

"I'm afraid I don't have to say that. This is what you do because you need it."

"Is there such a stupid trial! Force me to start without taking the test or asking, and take the two of you away! Shall I have the two of you back soon!

"Calm down, Lar..."

Alphilis tried to embarrass him, but now the chain out of the ceiling entangled Larna. Alphilis grabbed her aggressively, but the chains took only Larna as if she were willing, and disappeared into the ceiling.

Aerial, who stared at those accomplishments in a dazzling manner, uttered words without ever wandering.

"... I see, is it magic that activates under some conditions? Take away only those that match the conditions. That's the place."

"Calm down, daughter of the meadow."

"In hunting we die from those who lack calm. Sometimes when one of your people dies in front of you, you have to aim for the prey without moving a single eyebrow."

Earthgal applauded Aerial's words.

"I see. If that calm had been on future dark witches, this would not have happened. Quality, but are you still too young? Is it also affecting my mother's death?

"Do you know that much?"

Alphilis and the others, unable to hide their surprises in Earthgal's information network, but the line that had been so silent opened its mouth.

"Answer only one thing. How do we end this trial?

"It's a trial to hit it."

"Shit, you can't help it. Lisa, are you okay with your face being gone?

Rhine asks Lisa in anger and in dew. But Lisa's sensors didn't hook anything up.

"... that's crazy. Sensors do not fly from this room first. Did you cover the room in the junction?

"I didn't see any sign of that. Because the room..."

"It is also possible that he was already imprisoned within the contiguity. Or it could have been transferred from space to space. This could already be a different space."

Fostina answered. And I was carefully pushing the entrance to the room with a sword pattern to open it. The door to the room opened safely, and as far as I can see, it's not looking strange out there, but it's not popular at all. The inn was full and busy until earlier. Apparently, some sort of junction is definitely activated.

Fostina stopped trying to close the door. Because it could have been dangerous to leave the room even slightly.

"Fostina, you're not closing it?

"... I'll stop. I've been through this hand trap several times. Among the traps activated in the old ruins, even a few of the determined paths were then transferred. I think that was some pretty old sorcery, but it feels the same way. It's not necessarily lethal, but I've never been over to avoid it. This master will be able to use old magic."

"Are you saying it's a bond? There was no sign."

"It's not the juncture. Different spaces, but you call them? This space itself is likely made of witchcraft"

"Your answer. It's about not going out there. I don't know what's gonna happen to me either."

It just looks like a seemingly nothing inn, but suddenly the space outside has felt creepy. Rhine and Lisa stared to eat outside, but Alphilis began to relax deeply on the couch as she poured tea.

Both Aerial and Earthgal himself kept their eyes round that attitude just as calm.
