Fiona, who was stunned for a while, rushes to Harold and others as to what this means when she returns to me. It wasn’t Harold who answered that, of course.

“As you can see, someone is modifying the inside of the mine”

“… Originally, this kind of reinforcement Did you go? “

” If so, why did you camouflage the brick wall? “

” That’s … “

Fiona probably knows that it’s obviously strange in her heart. I didn’t argue any further.

But that doesn’t stop the pursuit.

“Who does this?”

“There are people who are suspicious, but they have been confirmed including the purpose. I will avoid making a statement because it is not. “

While listening to the conversation between the two, I think it’s justus, but Harold silently spills the tunnel. Go to the back of.

After a while, the man who was holding the light stopped.

“Here it is”

An ordinary passageway in the tunnel. There’s nothing weird about it, and it’s not a split road.

But the man took something like a silver wedge out of his bosom and slammed it into the wall.

“Ah, what’s that?”

“It’s a magic item.>

As soon as I said it, the rock wall that was supposed to be there disappeared as if it had been cut off.

“As you can see, all the magical effects applied within a certain range are invalidated.”

“… It seems to be quite valuable, but “

” There is a lover who is familiar with magic items to acquaintances. “

The man is Fiona’s. I hesitate to pursue it. Fiona seemed to think of such an attitude, but she seemed to be wondering what was in the tunnel with various works so far, so she didn’t step in more than necessary.

A hidden passage that has appeared. It looked like a branched mine to the side, but after a while it changed completely and became a completely man-made man-made passage.

“What is this …”

Fiona leaked how much it was unexpected to have such equipment. The words were shaking a little.

From Harold’s point of view, Japan is familiar to us at Justus’s laboratory, but it seems to be the first time for Fiona who has lived almost without leaving Burston. It may be a thing. What’s more, there is such a thing in the mine, so I can nod astonishingly.

“Don’t be afraid to come quickly”

“Oh, wait!”

However, since the main subject is ahead, Harold goes on without dating.

Is it possible to use electricity? The ceiling was lit like a fluorescent lamp, so I didn’t need a lamp anymore.

The footsteps of three people echo in the inorganic passage. According to the story I heard in advance, I could not confirm the existence of anything other than monsters, but it is not unmanned. Harold is even more vigilant to respond to whatever happens.

I wonder if the tension has spread, Fiona and the others are silent, and the air is tense.

A passage that feels awfully long. After that, I finally saw a corner. The man nodded silently when he looked at him.

Perhaps the sight that the reconnaissance team saw is waiting there. After making sure there are no signs of people, Harold turns the corner.

The first thing I noticed was a large glass with a width of 4 meters or more. It is mounted along the inner wall of the circular passageway so that you can see to the other side.

In addition, I was able to confirm that there was a door that looked like the entrance to the room in the aisle. If even a person comes out from there, it will be discovered soon.

(I don’t want to stay too long)

With that in mind, Harold walks up to the glass window and sees the scenery spreading there. I saw it under my eyes.

A huge number of monsters that I saw in the Sumeragi territory. I heard in the report that it is about 5,000, but is it because they are crowded together that it looks more than that?

“Hit …!”

Harold’s thought that it would be painful to handle all of this … Next door, Fiona, who also looked into the glass window, screamed a little short. It may be that the liver is settled just by swallowing it without screaming.

However, the bullish expression was completely dyed blue. Harold comes up with something in front of her.

(If you raise your anxiety here, will you help the residents to evacuate?)

See if it is the original Harold. It’s an outrageous idea that makes a mistake. Although it was an action based on good intentions, it was also a harmful effect of not choosing the means to survive in this world.

“The purpose is unknown, but that monster is probably the reason why I modified the tunnel and secretly made such a facility.”

“> Half a lie. There may be some reason to keep the monsters in, but Harold glares that building such an elaborate facility might be related to the energy portal, as expected.

However, I will not touch it because it is meaningless and difficult to understand when I explain this to Fiona.

“Why do you do this?”

“You said that the purpose is unknown. Well, from the situation. It’s not hard to guess. “

Fiona’s eyes ask what it is.

It would be a great deal of anxiety and fear if something like this was sleeping under the town where we lived. It’s a terrible story, but I have to get her, who is a town council, to bring it back.

“It is possible to invade the ground using those monsters. The reason why the inside of the mine was expanded is that they can pass through.”

“Well, then …”

“As you can imagine, Burston will be the first target.”

Fiona makes her face even more pale, perhaps because she had a vision of that. I’m barely standing. Harold, who feels sorry, develops a very computational thought that he will cooperate in the subsequent persuasion if he instigates this much.

Suddenly, something caught my eye. At the bottom of the large cavity are monsters moving around, and there is a huge door that will be their entrance. However, apart from that, a door that fits the size of a normal human being was installed at a position about 10 meters from the bottom.

The most uncomfortable thing is the route to reach the door. The wall is carved in a staircase shape, and an iron fence is used to prevent it from falling.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a staircase that was forcibly installed later. It’s true that monster attacks are unlikely to reach that position, but will Justus make something so messy?

“How did you like it?”

“… Nothing. No longer staying, I’ll be back soon.”

I was curious, but I couldn’t understand until I went. And now it wasn’t the time.

I leave Fiona, who is so shocked and uncertain at her feet, to a man, and this time Harold goes back to the way he brought the lamp.

I was holding my sword in my right hand, thinking that if an intrusion was detected, I could be attacked, but I was able to escape from the mine so easily that I couldn’t beat it. Is it about four hours for the round trip?

“Hey, you”

“… what is it?”

Fiona, who was indignant, opened her mouth for the first time in a long time.

I recommend taking a rest if it’s not an emergency, but I have to get her to do a job with a whip in her tired mind and body.

“How are you going to move?”

“How do you move? Suddenly announcing it will only cause confusion. Should the mayor talk to the lord and then make an excuse to start evacuating … “

Fiona begins to work, muttering and searching for action.

“If you follow that procedure, how long will it take to start evacuation?”

“… at least one month”

“That’s right?”

“To be honest, I wonder if the probability is too high”

” What is the reason for thinking so? “

” We know other places where monsters have been accumulated. Those things have become quite active, so they will start to move within a month. “

” That’s …! What should I do !? “

“You should evacuate immediately and seek the protection of the lord under the leadership of the town of Burston. If you don’t make it in time, you will die, the people of this town”

The man made a clear statement.

Well, it would be difficult to judge this area. Fiona does not have the right to decide to evacuate in the first place.

“If you don’t like it, gather representatives of this town. I will disclose the information you have.”

If you can evacuate immediately? “

” Of course “

” …… At the meeting place in the town tomorrow noon Gather people. “

” It’s good. Needless to say, as long as you see that, you’ll be on your side. “

“I know …”

Always looking from above. Fiona before entering the mine might have thought, but now she seems to have no time to spare and disappears into the town with a heavy footstep.

With this, preparations should have been completed for the time being. At worst, I just hope that things are stuck until the arrival of the apse.

For the time being, I changed my mind to this point today. It’s a decision that the troubles will happen in quick succession until the Liners block Justus’s plans. You need to rest when you can rest your mind and body.

“Hey, guide me to the inn”

“I’m afraid. Please come here”

No, I headed to the inn where Keith and his friends were waiting, thinking that I missed the timing to hear this person’s name.

Although the injury has healed, it is hard to say that the physical strength and motor function are in perfect condition. I want to sweat in the shower, fill my stomach and fall asleep early.

However, it is a man named Harold Stokes who does not fulfill such a small hope. I found a group that made a lot of noise just a little closer to the inn. Apparently they are arguing in front of the restaurant to see the signboard.

I tried to pass by while looking at the distance, wondering if the guy who had been drinking alcohol before dark was making noise.

…… But the noisy people had familiar faces. Or rather, he was a member of Frieri.

(What? What are you guys doing?)

It looks like it’s going to be very natural. I know what’s going on, but I still don’t understand why it’s making a noise.

Let’s suppress it by force before causing any further trouble. Harold also ran into a short-circuit solution to the mercenary collapse but too childish behavior.

…… I ran. I wouldn’t have inadvertently break in if I had confirmed the person who was arguing.

“What the hell are you doing …?”

“Oh, Harold’s husband !?

“What’s the difference?”

“Misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding!”

The two members of Frieri retreat as expected under the pressure of Harold, where the flames rise.

However, they uttered an excuse while squeezing their facial expressions.

“We were just eating rice normally!”

“It was really good. “Meshi!”

I rushed into my heart and urged my eyes to see why this happened.

“So let’s try to thank the chef!”

“That’s right! That was cool. That’s why we too– “

――Like a husband!

“Ah?”

The two words overlap. Like a husband, in this case, reluctantly refers to Harold.

And I remembered when I was told. When the number of Frieri’s staff increased a little, I held a social gathering as a prima facie manager for both face-to-face and comfort.

Even though it was reserved, it is a fuss that nearly 20 strong men eat and drink. However, it wasn’t rampaging, and it was difficult to pay attention to it, and Harold summoned the chef of the store when the feast was over.

An aristocrat with a bad guy. It was Harold seen from the side, and it was already scared by the store.

Harold simply told the chef, who appeared quivering, not to say anything extra.

“It tasted good. Save it. ”

With such words, I threw a bag full of gold coins and handed it over.

I thought it was too expensive to include the nuisance fee, but it’s still like a tip for Harold, who has the funds for PL farming saved via Sumeragi. rice field.

Harold thought it was like a nouveau riche aristocrat’s disgusting guy, but it seems that it looked cool to those who were drinking alcohol nicely. ..

“But we don’t like it, and I’m scared of something …”

“I think”

p>

“So, I think the shop owners will be involved with the people around me …”

“I’m stupid because I’m not used to it”

“I’m sorry …”

The words of the two people overlap again. However, if their argument is true, there is no malice, and as long as they are involved in this way, it would be a good idea to resolve it as the person in charge.

Thinking so, I turned to the person I was arguing with.

And this time Harold’s turn was to twitch his stiff facial muscles, albeit slightly, except when he was ridiculed.

The face that was still young was firmly grown up, but the orange hair, which is reminiscent of the mane of a lion, remains the same as it was back then. ..

I could understand at a glance who he was.

“Oh, you are … Harold, are you …?”

Once a Knights, it was only a few months. Is a man who shared time as a companion.

Sid was there.
