Outbreak

"Uuh . . . the magic that I use for my life is quite developed, but the things for battle hare not changed much . Why is the difference so big? ""There are also types of demons that can breathe fire or blow the wind in a congenital way, so magic for battle is not much emphasized . It helps life a lot . ""Depending on the type, it isn't easy to use sorcery at all . We too can't even use that much . ""It is a good story to approach and beat him . ""So that's how it is . . . ah, but Yukurishishu is a magician, is not it? ""That's right . Well, I can easily do both close-range and magical warfare . "

The royal family and I came to the magical city called Manavary . After buying additional paper, we dropped by a shop selling magic books . With such a thing written, I wonder what kind of effect will this magic produce . Because it isn't so thick, the price isn't very high . As expected, things for battle are expensive . The paper was cheaper than the one sold in the kingdom .

"Another good magic book? I am a bit hungry . . . ""It is about time for lunch . Do we have some snacks somewhere? ""Yes . "

With two meals a day, most people eat something during the day . I'm talking about snacks, but it's quite a lot . . . . This is no different from three meals a day .

"Do you also want to eat something, Tsuchio?""No, I am not hungry yet, so it's okay . "

I ate from morning . . . till the night, so I have to get hungry first .

" . . . By the way, Manavary has a bell . ""Bell?""Ah, that one . It rings every few hours . The capital is too far away, so the sound doesn't reach, right?""That's right . There are magical tools that diffuse sound, but mass production isn't done yet . "

As we talked about it, the sound of the bell rang in the town . It was a beautiful sound that came from the bell installed in the research tower . Magical power is included to the sound and maybe it's some sort of magical tool . It sounds like a healing sound .

" . . . ?"

"What is it, Ruu . "

Ruu pauses with her hand on her ear .

"No, something is wrong . . . ""Ruu? What is strange!?"

Suddenly, Yukurishisu kneeled to the ground . No, it is not only Yukurishisu . Tyres, Toururi and all my familiars are the same . Most of the people around me are falling on the ground . Well, what, what's going on! Why am I immune!?

"Are you alright? Hey everybody, are you okay?""Well, I´m fine . But it is such a strong magic . . . ""What the hell is this . . . the inside of my head is disturbed . ""Uuu . . . "

Yukurishisu seems to have no problem . The sound of the bell earlier, magic power was included . Is that the cause?

"Father! Big Sister . . . !" Lime"Ruu is weak against that magic . . . Lime, are you okay?" Tsuchio"I can't say that I'm fine . I heard someone's voice in my head right now . . . ""What is this disgusting voice . It's almost like a bottomless swamp, it is going to be drawn into my mind . . . " Rin"Defense against magic, I will build a barrier on the main computer . " Nichrome

Shadow-san seems to suffer a little bit, but she doesn't seem to suffer as much as the others . Ruu is suffering more, but her state isn't extraordinary . Opening and closing her mouth like a fish and opening her eyes wide .

"Ruu, you okay?!? Is your consciousness clear? Are you feeling bad?" Tsuchio"Ua . . . Tsuchio . . . ?" Ruu"Ah yes, it's me Tsuchio . Keep your eyes on me . " Tsuchio

Shit, what is going on with Ruu? Nichrome defends herself with her main computer, especially that there is no trauma . . . It is probably spiritual magic .

"Tsu, Tsuchio . . . " Ruu"What? What's wrong?" Tsuchio" . . . Ru, Run away . " Ruu

"Eh?" Tsuchio

"Uaaaaaaa!!!???" Ruu

I hold Ruu´s head who raises a big cry . Her magical power is raging and fire blows from her body and heats up the air .

"Hey, what the heck is with you, Ruu!? What do you mean by run away!" Tsuchio

I shake her shoulders, but Ruu doesn't react . She isn't screaming anymore and is very weak . Shit, what is really going on here!

"Father! It is dangerous to approach her now! Elder sister's magical power is rampaging . . . " Lime

"Then I should cure her! It is easy for me to cure the flow of magical power . " Tsuchio

When I said that, I will restore Ruu's calm magical power . Nice to meet you, I had no choice but to correct . But I'm still worried . Anyway, I have to take a rest somewhere . I think so and hold her hand . She suddenly threw me away, while I was trying to ask what was wrong .

"What!?""Tsuchio!?""Ruu-san, whats your intention!?"" . . . Elder sister?"

I´m thrown into a building like a restaurant and stop finally, hitting the walls while blowing off desks and chairs . It seems that Lime alone noticed something while Rin and Nichrome couldn't react in time . As I got help from Shadow-san, everyone was standing around Ruu as I went back . The crucial Ruu stood standing barely without any expression at all . I see Ruu's face like that of a Noh mask for the first time .

"Father, are you okay? Elder sister´s state . . . " Lime"I can see it . Ruu, you know me! Tsuchio, I´m Tsuchio!"" . . . "

Ruu doesn't respond at all . She doesn't look around and my words haven't reached her . While doing so, the people lying around wake up . However, everyone is strange . They don't utter a single word and their faces are expressionless like Ruu . . . . No, is Ruu expressionless like them? People who stood up bore me for a while, but suddenly turned towards us . At the same time, Ruu spreads her wings . And the people who turned towards us were attacking all at once .

"Why are they attacking!""I don't know! But I don't want to hurt them . ""Oh, it's already hard to do! Hey, wait, Ruu! Where are you going?"

Ruu flies with her fluttering wings . I'm gonna reach for you to fight a goblin-like guy who hit me and grab Ruu's foot . But her hands have emptied the sky and Ruu flew away to the center of the town .

" . . . Ruu, why . . . " Tsuchio"Master, we need to clarify Ruu´s behavior afterwards . Now, we have to get out of this situation . " Nichrome"Gather together before they reach us! Hey, Tsuchio, come on!" Yukurishisu

Yukurishisu was inspired and we ran away from the spot . Damn . . . what is going on in this town . . . .

"Tsuchio, we're done talking here . ""Is that so . . . Tyres-san, what is it?""I'm still packing the operation over there . Well, I'm hiding my identity . "

We are now hiding in buildings like the guild branch of the kingdom at the edge of the town . It seems that people who are maintaining normal awareness gather here and discuss measures to break through the current situation .

"So, did you know what kind of magic was set up?""Well, it was magic of mental manipulation and hypnotism . It seems that the magical power was put on the sound of the bell and it spread the effect through the town . Those who aren't manipulated are those who are resistant to magic . Mercenaries, magicians, and higher races . Because Tsuchio is a human, you are immune to the magic . ""So what is the strategy?""Of course, it is a strategy to release this magic . Even if you are spreading the effect of this extensive magic with the bell, it should have been prepared somehow . I also confirmed it while I was there, but there was nothing like that especially . . . ""A magical team?""I feel that way . If you look at it, you know, at a glance, the absolute . ""Is there nothing else on how to defeat the magician who cast this unknown magic?""That's what it is . . . . From that, what is Tsuchio writing since a little while ago? Are you listening properly?""I'm listening, what shall I reply? I am replenishing my talismans, because I will make a battle after this? New talismans made from the newly bought paper . "" . . . Are you following me?""Of course . Ruu was taken away? Are you going to say that I shall wait silently?""I can understand how Tsuchio´s feels . However, the opponent is a magician who can use such great magic against a large number of ordinary people . Clearly, with Tsuchio´s weapons, it is impossible . "

. . . Don't say a lot clearly what you care a lot . Well, it is true or not .

"I intend to follow Tsuchio, but we can't rush to the research tower . You're going to ask for inward death payment . "" . . . Is that so . ""Even so, please don't try to do it sooner or later . Lime, please keep hold of Tsuchio firmly . ""Of course, I cannot let father jump to his death . "

Was she relieved to hear that, because Yukurishisu returned to the room where she is discussing the strategy . . . . Haa, be sure not to endure being stuck with the facts .

"Father . . . are you okay? I was told that, but if father wants me . . . ""No, let's do as Yukurishisu says . I'm going to recapture Ruu while she gets confused by the battle . ""But Ruu is manipulated by magic, right? Fighting with a serious Ruu, can we win?"" . . . If all of us fight Ruu, the winning percentage is about 30% . The problem is that there are other enemies . ""Oh, it's difficult to withhold avoidance . If there are other enemies, Lime will be their opponent and endure it . I crush the enemy with haste and head for support . ""I understand . Even if I change to this life, let's suppress sister . ""No, never die . Ruu comes back and it doesn't make any sense . Sure . "

"Of course . "

"Well, there is no point in thinking about bad things . Let's think about the better side . . . the possibility of winning is low, though . "

"What to do? I will die if she releases her breath . "

"I see . Even if it costs all members, it is 30% . "

"When I was fighting with her, I was getting in trouble . It is miserable . . . "

"You can compete with a dragon at an equal rate . If there is a winner . . . do you have to defeat her with haste?"

"It will be so . It's the only thing that crushes her down to the encounter with full power . "

"Are you alright with it? If I kill her by mistake, you will have neither a wife nor a child . "

"I have no time to worry about the other party, even if the other party is Ruu . . . "

Ruu's serious? . . . She didn't use her breath after all in the fortress battle, and it is impossible to measure it honestly . Well, in any case, I can only disable her before she can release her breath .

"Then, will you write down the spell quickly? Because I want to concentrate for a while . ""Okay, is your burnt hand okay?""Ah, Shadow-san cured it . I thought about Ruu for a moment, but I didn't notice it at all . Tomorrow is early, so please sleep properly . ""Tsuchio too . . . I'm worried about Ruu as much as everyone is . "" . . . Ou"

The connection with Ruu hasn't been cut off yet . . . I feel like its disturbed by something . If I overwrite the taming once more, I wonder if I can solve the magic . . . . Well, let's just do it .

"Ah, father . This . " Lime"Hmm? . . . Is this?" Tsuchio

Leaving, Lime handed Ruu's choker . It seems that it was burned down by the fire blown out when Ruu´s magical power went wild . The cross section is also slightly deformed .

"Please give it back to sister . It was very important for her . " Lime"Thanks Lime . I did not notice it and I was about to lose it . " Tsuchio"Well then . Father, sister is also important to me . . . I absolutely won't let the person who did this to elder sister escape . " Lime"I have the same feeling . But first of all, we need to recapture Ruu . Do you understand?" Tsuchio

"I know . Well then, have a break . " Lime

Well, I have to write talismans quickly and prepare for tomorrow . Before that, I have to listen to the details of the strategy .

"Shadow-san, what happened? Eh, two important stories? Is it related to the operation of tomorrow? . . . I got it, then shall we talk in another room?" Tsuchio

What is the important story? There was never before a time where Shadow-san spoke that much . I wonder what it is all about, what on earth is that . . . .
