Inside the rebel positions, Moura and Sistoy were watching from some distance from the tent where the rescue target, Sobul, was captured.

　While pretending to be soldiers and looking toward the tent, the only thing that comes out of Moula's mouth is a sigh.

"I can't believe I'm doing something that doesn't suit me to be a soldier, but I don't have any particular information after all..."

　While exhaling, Moura wields as if to observe the long sword in her hand.

　Contrary to what he said, Moura's long sword blow sounded sharp.

　Of course, Moura has survived in slums since she was little.Even if he is not an avant-garde player, he has some ability.

　And as a member of the bell of repose, he has the power to handle a few soldiers with one hand.

　Of course...

"Don't say that. You can't stand out in a flashy way without knowing where crimson is.Anyway, now we should act in a way that is not noticeable

"... then you should cut back a little more."

　Sisto's Harbard makes a roaring sound and swings like destroying the air.

　No matter how good Moula was, he was clearly inferior to the system in which he fought in the front line.

　That's enough for an adventurer who was watching their battle from afar to open his eyes.

　However, the two talk without worrying about the adventurer's appearance.

"But there's a rumor that there's no crimson, right? Then why don't you attack him and get him back?"

　According to information received from soldiers of the bell supporters, crimson has not been seen in the camp for several days.

　No, not crimson, but the demonic Gryphon.

　She wears a plain robe and has neat features, but if she stays quiet, she will never notice the crimson she hides it in the crowd.

　But the Gryphon was different.

　It's obvious that he stands out, and it's impossible to hide that he's moving like Ray.

　That's why the Gryphon hasn't appeared in the past few days was a reason to suspect that crimson isn't in this position at the moment.

　However, neither Moula nor Sistoy will make a flashy move until they can confirm that crimson is not in the position.

　a person who can't be on one's guard.The more you cross the blade, the more you can understand that it is crimson.

　If a crimson figure is not in the position, he or she runs into each other when he or she is off guard.If that happens, it's nothing but the worst.

"It's a nuisance to be around, and it's a nuisance to be around."

　The long sword wielded with irritation cuts through the air with a sharp sound.

　A knight passing by stops unconsciously when he sees Moura's sword.

　He must have noticed that.For a moment, I can think of an expression that Moura herself has done it.

"Well, you're pretty good.Why don't you come to our unit?"

"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to move from the current force..."

"Is that so? I'll accept you with better treatment.

"I'm sorry."

　As I said, Moura bowed her head with an apologetic expression.

　Near the moula, Sistoy puts a little pressure on the hand holding the handle of the Hullabad.

　If the knight tried to carry it by force, he would stop it, even if it took his life.

　Of course, if you do that, you won't be able to stay in this position.However, it was definitely better than abandoning his partner Mula.

"Well, it's a waste to have such a good arm.Please contact me as soon as you change your mind.I am Aurena, a knight in the service of Baron Hindu."

　Fortunately, however, the knight, who has called himself Aurena, leaves without any further aggressive solicitation.

　Well, the person who looked surprised was probably the one who spoke to me.

　I was dragged away with a reason.I was even thinking about the possibility, but I never thought you would listen to me so easily.

"It's very different from the knights we know,"

"...to be sure,"

　Sistoy nods in agreement to Moula's words and relaxes Harbard's grip.

"To be honest, when I see things like this, I feel more familiar with this side than they do."

"Don't tell me. We've already decided what to do.I'm going to dampen that resolution."

"I know. I just told you something.I don't mean to let you down or betray the bell of repose."

"Well, that's fine, but I don't know where the organization is.Be careful what you say and do."

"You worry a lot."

　It was Moula who returned words to Sistoy, but I understand what his partner said.

　Considering the size of the organization called the Bell of Repose, it is certain that there are other collaborators and organizational figures besides the soldiers who told them where Sobre was.

　I don't think that soldier is the only ally in the rebel army.

　If other collaborators listen to this story, it may be considered a disturbing element with an upheaval towards the organization.

　In the bell of repose, the combination of Moula and Sistoy was one of the best, but it's not like no one else has the same strength.

"Anyway, I've found out where the target is, so when will it be done next?"

　Judging that there is no point in telling Moura any more, System Toy changes the subject to its original mission.

"Well, if there's no crimson, I'd like to get rid of it as soon as possible, but I still need to get a doll."

"How long will it take?"

"It doesn't cost much if you only have the number, but in that case, it's really just the number."

　Sistoy nods to Moura, who continues to say, "Fortunately, there are only a few here."

　Among those who are gathering to join the rebels, there are even some of the gangsters around there.

　that it would be less likely to cause a commotion if they were made dolls than soldiers and knights.

"Then, do we have to prepare a place first?"It's also a place with few people."

"If possible, I'd rather stay in a closed room..."

　Moura stops talking and looks around.

　Most of the things that come into view are tents.

　Some of them are like huts, but since it is a place where many people use it, it is almost impossible to make them into dolls.

"In that case, there are only tents."

"But it's too small. You can't steal a tent like a knight or no matter of nobility."

"I wish I could do that, but if you do that, you'll find crimson in no time.Well, I wish I had one."

　complain with a sigh.

　In the end, no matter what happens, there is nothing we can do about it when we are in front of crimson.

　I have seen battles many times and have faced each other directly, so I understand their strength very well.

　Especially when they attacked in the waiting room of the stadium, the waves of dolls and system toys, which had been strengthened to the limit, escaped unharmed.

　...no, it's far from being out of the question.Sisty almost lost his life when he was robbed of his weapons and attacked back.

　It is almost a miracle to be safe now.

　Understanding this, Moura never intended to make the folly of facing crimson head on.

　Among the castles in the center of the imperial capital of the Vestian Empire, Rodos trained to use the Fire Eaters he received from Kabazid.

　The training partner is a wizard held by a nobleman belonging to the First Prince's School.Among them, he is a person who specializes in the magic of fire.

　Of course, this is not the only training.We are also conducting the usual training with Perfeel, and on top of that, we are training to use the Fire Eater.

"Good, let's go!"

　Rodos concentrated his attention on the bracelet in his right wrist at the voice of a man in his fifties with a long cane.

　This is the Fire Eater.This magic item is limited to the magic of flame, but it can be absorbed into the magic of the owner.

"Good, do it!"

　Rodos nods and the wizard recites a spell in his mouth.

　The next moment, three flaming arrows were produced around the cane.

"Fire Arrow!"

　magic released.

　The three arrows of flame go straight to Rodos.

"Huh!"

　Just before the fire arrow hits him, Rodos raises his right hand and uses magic to activate the fire eater.

　Then, just before hitting Rodos, the flaming arrow is sucked into the Fire Eaters.

　The only thing left behind was a faint fever.

　The heat that heated up the cool autumn air, however, soon disappeared into the autumn air.

"... well, that's all right."

　The Wizard muttered with satisfaction, seeing that the fire arrow had been absorbed by the Fire Eater... and yet a little chagrined.

　Wizards can't be happy to see their magic disabled so easily.

　The least relief is that the magic item is very expensive and rare.

　If you don't think so, the wizard's pride won't forgive you.

`Phew, Phew, Phew...'

　Breathing out hard, Rodos.

　No matter how much Fire Eaters, as the name suggests, must take out the bracelet on their right wrist for magic.

　In other words, you expose yourself to magic without any protection.

　Of course, I feel scared of the magic that is approaching me, and my body cannot move as usual.

　What if I fail? If I succeed, will I really succeed?

　the act of fighting such fears and doubts.

(This time there were three arrows of fire.But... Ray's flame magic is incomparable to this.Can I do something about that magic?)

　Passing through Rodos' mind was a tornado of flames seen in the spring war.

　It is a thing that caused a great deal of damage to the Vestian imperial army with its power that can only be described as atrocious.

　I didn't feel like I could do anything by myself, but...

(No, I'll do it. I'll do it.Never!)

　I repeat it inwardly as if I were telling myself.

　Seeing Rodos like that, the wizard smiled slightly.

　He thought that the flame arrows he fired must have been so frightening.

　It was a complete misunderstanding, but it was not a bad misunderstanding for both of us, as it satisfied the Wizard's self-esteem.

"What should I do? Should I train more or take a break?I don't care which way I am?"

"...again, please.If I don't do it, I can't cope with Ray's flame tornado."

"That's all right. If you go that far... I'll make it a little more difficult next time."

"Oh!"

　After confirming Rodos' nod, the wizard began to cast a spell again.

　There are 10 flame balls the size of a fist floating around my cane.

　As far as Rodos can see, it doesn't look that powerful.--but since it was smaller than the arrow of fire, it seemed that this was faster.

Fire Blitz

　Blitz just like the spell...In other words, a small fireball is released and heads to Rodos.

　What surprised Rodos when he saw the small flame ball was that it was going to be on a different track.

　Some fireballs attack from the right side of Rodos in a large arc, while others fly straight or as if they were floating from below.

"Squeak!"

　Rodos is confused for a moment.

　As long as each of them flies towards them in a different orbit, they cannot absorb everything at once.

　What I have to do is to rank and absorb the flame ball.

　That's what I decided, but... that decision was too late.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

　He hesitates for a moment about which flame ball to absorb, and that moment becomes a fatal opportunity.

　It hits, it hits, it'

　Fortunately, this was a practice to use the Fire Eater, and the power of the flame ball was almost absent.

　I felt a little shocked and a little hot, but I didn't get seriously injured.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"Sweet, sweet.Put more priority on it and move on quickly."

"Oh, yeah, I know."

　I can't complain here.I'll do my best until I'm able to use this Fire Eater completely.

　With such a spiteful look on his face, Rodos spoke again.

"One more time, one more time!"

　Thus, Rodos' training on how to master magic items continues.
