Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World

557 Hands That Grab The Void

Early in the morning, shortly after dawn, the Somas left the inn behind.

As planned yesterday.

However, I haven't eaten breakfast.

Because I'm not going to take it elsewhere, I'm going to eat it when I get back.

We'll circle the city with Gurli, go back for breakfast if there's no problem, and when we're done eating, we'll leave again.

That was the plan.

By the way, at noon, as was the case yesterday, something is to be prepared and handed over that can be carried on the inn side.

Again, like yesterday, you'll be eating somewhere along the way.

Soma borrowed a corner of the tavern that is co-located in the guild yesterday to eat, but it is unclear what to do today.

Probably going to eat somewhere appropriate though.

Whatever.

The Somas began to move as planned, parting hands just as they did yesterday.

There were seemingly suspicious men walking along the south side of the city.

Though his face is not hidden, all five men wear black robes.

It is natural to look suspicious.

Sometimes the guys still can't be blamed for simply saying that the time now is time, but one way or another it will be the place.

There are a lot of adventurers in the south who look alike and come close.

It's not enough to care, and if we care, it means we're suspicious too.

That's the thing.

So nothing prevented the men from walking... but their feet stopped abruptly.

In front of you is a crossroads, with a slight blurring coming from the road that leads to the left.

As he stopped in front of the boulevard, the man who was walking in the lead looked back and opened his mouth.

"Well, that's my last confirmation... everyone, you know what I mean?

In the words of inquiry, the four of them nodded equally.

I guess it's only when I think about what I'm about to do that I'm feeling nervous about that face.

No, or because you're thinking further ahead of that?

This time, unless it is too unexpected or too unexpected, there is no way to fail.

It is also natural to think that once this is over…

Nevertheless, it is also true that this time is not yet over.

Depending on the way he looked at it, he seemed to be floating... but the man dared to stop making that point.

Except if you're distracted by this, but what's there is moderate tension.

It's only positive, it's not negative.

It's up to those judgments.

So when a man returns only a snort, he turns back to the front.

Aware that there was good exaltation and tension in himself, he hoisted the edge of his mouth just a little bit and rushed out toward the place of destination.

To put it briefly, it was enough to say that today's guild is very busy and surrounded by hustle and bustle.

The morning sun has just risen, even though it's time to call it an early morning.

Although the building's doors remained stiff and closed, officials were rushing around in it.

That, of course, should be said, is due to the blockade of the city that has been going on since yesterday.

We plan to continue to do so today, and to do so, we need to prepare in advance for any problems that may arise.

There's so much that needs to be done to deal with what happened yesterday and hasn't been resolved yet.

Let's just say this is inevitable.

And in that, accidentally, there was a voice that could neither mourn nor groan.

"Ugh, I'm tired.... Okay, let's get this over with today!

"How stupid are you talking about? Nothing has even begun in the first place."

I thought it was time, but Emily exhales into the unfolding as expected.

But if that's what I was expecting, I could also have predicted that it wouldn't even move in that amount of language.

There is a gaze that does not even try to hide dissatisfaction at this one, which sums up predictions and what to do about the events that will happen today.

"Buh, I sure may be today, but I was yesterday... no, I've been working on it since yesterday - huh?

"It's the same here, and everyone here is."

"Then let's all rest now. And then someone's gonna make me feel good, even if I leave you alone."

If it really is, how good is it?

Or if I can, I'm talking about doing so from the beginning.

What makes you sad and have to work early in the morning after working late at night?

"I don't mind telling you, but it's up to you to make it harder later, right? No one can help you with your proxy work."

"Damn, this is it if you think I haven't been motivated in a long time. I knew I should take my job seriously."

In the moment, I guess the mouth that was releasing stupidity was suddenly shut because I realized aggressively that was not the case.

Perhaps everyone who was there noticed it.

No matter how much you pretend to be a jerk, you can't possibly be unaware of the Alliance Staff Substitute.

It was a sound.

And it's huge...... it can't be heard in a place like this, it's an explosion.

It was quick to make a decision.

"- Everyone, so that we can continue with our current work. And on top of that, whatever you have in mind for battle, you've got perimeter alert."

"... it's easy for me to say something troublesome again. Ma, but you don't have to think about the tavern. It's still better... So, what about the proxy?

"For now, be vigilant around the area and see how it goes, huh? I don't think you're familiar with fighting and selling to the Alliance... so this is likely to be some kind of positive move."

"Ever since the adventurers arrived, even if you do something?

"Hey. By then, it'll be over."

"I don't know..."

If you went out of your way to target this time, it's only natural to try to finish everything before extra trouble occurs.

The sound was pretty loud right now, and if that information gets around, the adventurers will come to the guild regardless of if it was hours ago... but it will take some time for that to happen.

I don't know what you're trying to do... but depending on what it is, there's a good chance you won't be able to deal with it in time.

Especially now that we're doing something else.

"So, can I say something that long?

"Whatever you do, we don't have enough men or power. But maybe it's okay. He said he could fix it. Just a hunch, though."

That was the word that was said without any thought, but instantly the air that was filled and stuck in this place looses.

Because we all know how dependable this proxy thing is.

That was no good and so was Emily, but I still have to sigh.

"Maybe we can figure it out... but in the end, it doesn't make any difference what anyone else does."

"Isn't that okay? If that's what you're gonna do."

That's true, but I still don't interpret it.

I also know I have no choice where I said it though, so I push that thought away by exhaling my sigh again.

At the same time, I think you got caught up in a proxy inquiry about someone.

Maybe it's those people.

"The question is, does this have anything to do with it?"

"If there is, I'd appreciate it if you didn't have to do anything extra. I'm wasting what I've been doing."

"It doesn't matter because I didn't do the proxy today."

And if there's a problem, there's one more thing.

That's what the proxy said, I'm sure this thing will work out even if left alone... but that only means it turns out.

The proxy's reliability is so high that it is said that the proxy was half-projected and thus obtained the status of proxy.

That's why it's trustworthy... but as I said earlier, it turns out to be.

Although it does resolve as a result, it is not synonymous with the fact that it will end without anything.

It can be enough for someone to get hurt or die along the way.

Nevertheless, I just found out that, there's nothing Emily can do.

When it comes to what I can do, I think about the possibility that this noise has nothing to do with blocking the city this time, and I just proceed with the tasks assigned to me.

Still, at the very least, I sighed out to pray that everything would end without anything.

Hans, the master of the northern vitreous pavilion, heard the sound when he was preparing his breakfast.

That's why I never stopped that hand.

If it's what you're asking, there's less than thirty minutes before the time the four of them are due back.

Hans' breakfast is simple but not clueless.

You can't stop your hands in vain and make things happen in time.

Of course, if I told you I didn't care at all, you'd be lying.

If I recognized myself correctly, the sound I heard was like something would explode.

Besides, I feel like it was pretty close, so there's no way I wouldn't mind.

But now we have work to do... and even if something is going on, it's none of our business.

... Though I have only one concern, that's my fault... I should just care too much.

Yeah, she should have said that, too.

My daughter just got lost by accident, and someone wasn't about to take her away, he said.

So...

"... yeah?

And, thinking about it, a small bell accidentally rang.

It's set up at the inn reception to inform guests of their visit.

For a moment I wondered if they'd come back, but it was too soon for that, and above all, there's no point in them bothering to ring it.

I don't even think there will be any other guests in this situation... Leaning his neck, Hans headed to the reception once he stopped his hand from making breakfast.

... I guess I wasn't surprised how I saw you there because I had a hunch somehow.

Oh yes, say something... no, the fact that you kept saying excuses for what it was is is proof that you were half sure of the facts but didn't want to accept them.

I really thought it would be from the beginning... and that's why I was going to leave this city.

But in the end it all seemed slow and only a wasted scratch.

"Hey, it's been a while. Needless to say, what brings you here?... the weapons we created, will you give them back?

Still, looking back and rushing out, it was still only pointless.

A moment later, when his own body rises, he is slammed straight against the wall.

To the shock and pain of running all over my body, I spit red and black liquid out of the back of my throat -

"... Pa?

When I turned my gaze to the voice I heard, there was the figure of my daughter.

I should have put them back to sleep after I dropped them off... but they woke up sometime ago and came.

I want to tell him to run away somehow, but I just opened my mouth, and from there, just a little breath leaks.

Feeling the footsteps approaching from the rear, he reached out his arms… but his hand never grabbed anything, just vain and void.
