749 Story 695. How do you do that?

I kept asking the tree monster questions and figured out that there was another magic circle.

That magic circle had already been disabled.

And so far, there is nothing else.

Gabari-san, who knew about it, had a rather steep expression on his face.

I don't think there was another magic circle.

The tree monster noticed the existence of the magic circle because it felt uncomfortable with the magic power flowing through the earth.

When I asked why I had disabled the magic circle, I heard a confused feeling from the tree monster.

After that, I changed a lot of questions, but I didn't know the answer.

"Wooden objects are often found around this village. Is it the influence of the magic circle?"

A tree monster who answers the question of the head of the Gabari Brigade by saying, "Giya."

When I heard the reply, Mr. Gabari's face turned pale.

I heard there was a sighting of a tree monster quite often.

How often have you been seen by demons?

In response to your father's question, Captain Gabari drops his shoulder.

“It used to be about once every two years, but over the past five years we've seen more and more of it every year. Last year, I saw it five times in a year."

That's right.

Well, that's all, the magic circle was engraved somewhere in the cave.

No, it's not all the fault of the magic circle, is it?

Tree monsters sometimes come to this village for reasons other than the magic circle, right?

Exactly five times a year.

It is originally about once every two years.

Well, maybe there's another reason why the tree monsters are coming to this village?

……

Eh!

I haven't heard back.

Does that mean that the magic circle is involved?

This was a bit unexpected.

I glanced at the head of the Gabari delegation.

“Ivy doesn't have to be sorry. That's something you need to know. However, last year, I was almost threatened by the magic circle five times. No, maybe there were magic circles in two places like this one, so it was more than five times. As expected, we need to do something about it."

Is it a countermeasure?

It was important not to complete the magic circle.

"Speaking of which, this cave was controlled to enter and exit, right?" Don't you know who carved that magic circle? "

Father's words reminded me of the rules of this cave.

For beginners and for training to spend the night in the cave.

Certainly, everything that came and went was under control.

When I saw Mr. Gabari, he shook his head.

"What? Don't you see?"

"Yeah, I checked all the people who came in and out yesterday, but nobody made any suspicious moves."

That's not true.

Then how did you write the magic circle in that space?

"Are there any other places you can go in and out?"

In response to your father's question, Mr. Gabari, who sees the opposite side of us coming in.

"There is an emergency entrance, but you also have a vigilante." That's why it's impossible to sneak in. I searched for someone who was guarding the magic circle at a time that I expected to be written, but there was no problem. "

It seems impossible to enter without telling.

I managed the time to get in, so if I didn't come out, I'd be out soon.

Really, how did you paint the magic circle in that space?

Considering the size of the magic circle and the characters and patterns that were drawn... it's impossible to complete it in a day.

"Father, how long do you think that magic circle will take?"

"That's right. The magic circle was painted big using one side of the cave wall." And there were quite a lot of characters and pictures used in the magic circle. I might need a few days. "

That's right.

Even the smaller magic circle took a lot of time to write.

If I made a mistake in one place, the magic circle would not activate.

"I think it will take more than two days. However, with manpower, it might be possible for half a day."

Arielus and the others nodded to his father's words.

I see, it's not necessarily written by one person.

Two?

No, I need at least four of them.

With four people, it could be completed in half a day.

"I can't do it for half a day. I think the magic circle is complete in a shorter time."

I turned my attention to the words of Mr. Gabari.

An hour before the Druids entered the cave, they were checking the cave for anything unusual.

Are you checking it out?

Father leans back at the words of Mr. Gabari.

"That's right. The beginner's cave looks around to see if there's anything unusual before the adventurer arrives." I'll spend the night in the cave, so I'll look into it very carefully. An hour before the Druids arrived, no space had been found where the magic circle could be found. I don't think I'll miss it because some of you have skills that will help me investigate the caves. ”

After I checked it out... about five hours.

In five hours, when you complete that magic circle, at least six people?

No, do you need more help?

It's impossible to get a lot of people into the cave so that no one can find them.

"Ahh, I don't know!"

Lilia screams and exhales

I know how it makes me want to scream.

You're pretty confused in your head.

Only 5 hours.

Moreover, it is unclear how people entered and exited.

How can I write a magic circle on the wall?

Remote control?

"... yes, it's remote control"

With this, I could write a magic circle even if I wasn't in this cave.

Why didn't you come up with it earlier?

Remote control is magic, but it's not possible because of the limitations.

Huh?

When I look at your father, I shake my head.

It's a magic that can only be used within the range that you can actually see with your own eyes.

Is that so?

I didn't think there was such a restriction.

"There's no other way..."

By the way, you didn't even find the space where the magic circle was an hour before we arrived, did you?

Gabari-san nodded when he saw him.

In other words, that space also appeared in five hours.

However, there were sudden spaces in the cave, so I didn't have to worry about it.

But what if we could move that space written in the magic circle to the side of this cave?

Fufu, that's impossible.

I can't believe you're moving space.

What's the matter?

I shook my head to my side as my father looked strange.

"I imagined it was a bit impossible."

"Nh?"

It's a way to move the space where the finished magic circle is written to the side of this cave.

"Nhh, that's exactly what I'm going to do."

That's right.

It's impossible, isn't it?

I laugh with my father.

No way.

Huh?

Gabari-san turned to his small voice, and there was a Gabari-san with a dazed expression on his face.

What's the matter with you?

Captain Gabari, what's the matter?

"Huh? No, it's nothing. It's time to get out of here."

Father tilts his neck at what seems to be a bit of an impatient attitude on the part of Mr. Gabari.

Um, can I come back here tomorrow?

What, are you still here tomorrow?

In my words, the head of the Gabari Brigade looks surprised.

There is still a black discolored part of the tree monster.

In my words, everyone's gaze turned to the trunk of the tree monster.

"By the way, there was still something left." Tomorrow...... Abal, can you do me a favor? "

Yes, I'm fine.

Does Mr. Gabari have business to attend to?

Looks like you're busy.

There will be a report this time.

Abal-san, tomorrow, please.

"Puppy"

"Giggle"

When I lowered my head to Abar-san, Sora and the wooden monster crowed.

It's like we're asking you to join us.
