Having co out of the Galura Canyon after a few days, Dannoura Tomochika and Takatou Yogiri finally arrived at the ld Plains.

The two people had made it until here by riding on the armoured vehicle.

And now, having stopped at the intersection of the plain and the canyon, they continued to stare at the plain that extended from there.

“It’s quite different from what I had expected……” (Tomochika)

Observing the plain from the driver’s seat, Tomochika complained.

A carpet of greenery was spread out, which reminded Tomochika of fields with beautiful scenery.

The ld Plains certainly were beautiful. However, it was a different and strange beauty.

The things that were here were all like crystals.

Sothing similar to grass that was growing from the ground, the trees were growing here and there, the lizard-like animals were crawling on the ground, and even buildings were in spots akin to sothing of a town. Everything was sharp, they had ford crystal-like things.

Looking up at the sky, there seed to be sothing like webbing made of crystals there, and the sun’s light had been completely scattered.

Thus, the view was wonderful. It wasn’t known if the horizon was distant even though this should have been a plain. With the effect of light being reflected by the crystals, it resulted in it being covered in sothing similar to a thin haze.

“It seems to be called by an alias of ‘The Crystal Plains’.” (Yogiri)

Yogiri wasn’t as surprised as Tomochika, probably because he knew the state of this place.

“Wouldn’t it have been better to say the alias before now?! Why does Takatou-kun know such a thing?” (Tomochika)

“When I accepted the map from the concierge, I feel I received an explanation like that.” (Yogiri)

Said Yogiri without any sign of shyness. Tomochika reconsidered whether or not it really was that important of a thing.

“I wonder whether or not people live in those village-like things?” (Yogiri)

“If they ‘live in that’, I think they wouldn’t be an ordinary human.” (Tomochika)

Just about everything was made sharp. Flesh and blood human beings wouldn’t be able to, by any ans, live.

“I know. Perhaps, people resembling crystalline humans live over there. Look, it seems that sothing dog-like is walking that way.” (Yogiri)

He saw sothing moving in the vicinity of the town. It was a tetrapod made up of crystals. Judging from its movents and figure, it looked like a dog.

“It doesn’t seem like it will go wild and attack. Since it’s nice I don’t feel like killing the dog at all.” (Yogiri)

The dog-like animal seed cautious of Tomochika and the others that were inside of the armoured vehicle that had turned up suddenly, but it appeared to be because of re curiosity.

“Do you like dogs?” (Tomochika)

“I’m raising one. Because it was an old man’s, I was just a little worried.” (Yogiri)

“Our household also has dogs. Because my older sister loves animals, we raise various animals other than dogs, too.” (Tomochika)

『Hmm. The Dannoura family has been raising akitas for generations. The Dannoura-style even has a fighting technique for dogs!』(Mokomoko)

Said Mokomoko as she materialized between the two.

“……Such a technique as going around and biting the nape of soone’s neck, my older sister hadn’t taught such a thing……” (Tomochika)

Certainly, Tomochika had continued to believe she was rely giving an idea of such a technique from her eccentricity, but it appeared that she had done it with the household.

『It is so. It isn’t a joke story about dogs at all. It’s fine, but be careful since sothing is causing a mildly dangerous atmosphere in this place for so reason!』(Mokomoko)

“But you don’t appear like you are being careful with your excessive nonchanlant-ness?” (Tomochika)

『That is so. It is also called a kind of curse. The vicinity of this region has been filled with it. Well, it should be at a level we are able to cope with.』(Mokomoko)

“Takatou-kun, don’t kill sothing arbitrarily again?” (Tomochika)

In the not-too-distant past, Yogiri had completely and inadvertently killed the source in response to the miasma. Whether or not it had beco a similar case this ti, Tomochika was bearing the anxiety.

“I have been careful since then. Besides, about that curse? There isn’t a clear source. I have a vague feeling, but I think it isn’t sothing dangerous right now.” (Yogiri)

Tomochika agreed it would be safe if that was the case.

“Well, nevertheless! We have no choice but to go forward, but I wonder if we can go through this by car.” (Tomochika)

『Since it is an armoured vehicle, isn’t it strong against punctures?』(Mokomoko)

“I wonder if it’s possible to go forward while killing obstacles in the direction we travel. Well, I think so if it’s to the extent that we crush grass-like things.” (Yogiri)

Yogiri was imprudent towards killing anything if it was a hindrance. He took things into consideration this ti. However, there was a point which sowhat differed from Tomochika’s common sense.

“Even if we assu this is really grass, I have a feeling it won’t continue to grow again after that!” (Tomochika)

“If we assu this is grass, however, I think it will continue to grow again if seeds take root. It is grass that is able to be killed.” (Yogiri)

“We~ll, with the feeling I got from seeing the map, I have an impression that the plain doesn’t seem to be wide; I wonder if it’s fine to arrive there all at once. It doesn’t appear to be complicated when looked at, unlike the canyon.” (Tomochika)

The railroad line which went through the canyon also cut across the plain as is. They expected to finally arrive at the royal capital by finding and following the track.

If they avoided the plain, it would beco a considerable detour.

『But that how it is. It doesn’t seem like we are able to pass through a place that appears to be sothing like this?』(Mokomoko)

“Well, this place is sothing like ‘the stage after the canyon’ if this were a ga.” (Tomochika)

“I wonder if the tracks are there if we go to the right-hand side from here. Although, there is also sothing that resembles a station.” (Yogiri)

Said Yogiri as he looked at Tomochika’s map. The plains were wide in the west and east, but not particularly much in the north and south. It looked like they could go through and escape if they travelled for one hour by a vehicle.

“Well then, shall we try to proceed?” (Yogiri)

The engine of the armoured vehicle started, and they started to move smoothly. Tomochika’s driving really had beco a familiar thing.

The grass that had beco crystallized continued to be crushed easily, with the reason being Yogiri dealing with it. It seems they didn’t have to worry about punctures.

With them travelling while relying on the map, they had seen track imdiately.

It appeared it hadn’t around the track hadn’t changed into crystals, contrary to what one would expect. As for the building that appeared to be the station, the model had been retained although traces of so crystallization could be seen.

“Shouldn’t we better keep an eye on the station while approaching it? Although I want to so I could get accustod and tell the circumstances, as there is that unique feeling in this area… I wonder if we are being treated like wanted n.” (Tomochika)

They appeared to be targeted by the sages, but Tomochika and others weren’t captured by Ryouta who was a sage’s follower. They were in a state where they didn’t know what way they would be dealt with in this world.

“It can’t be helped, as we’ve found ourselves having to move sneakily. Although we are going to the royal capital after this, will we run away and hide then as well?” (Yogiri)

Yogiri seed to not mind much even though it was said they might be being chased.

Tomochika prepared herself just in case.

She arrived near the station with the armoured vehicle and stopped.

The station was a compact building. It was just that sort of place. There wouldn’t be many people getting on and off the train here.

The two people stepped down from the armoured vehicle.

“It’s cold! What’s with the sudden change!?” (Tomochika)

Tomochika, who felt a sudden change of temperature, instinctively raised her voice.

It had been a warm climate until they arrived here, it would be due to the environnt of this place.

It wasn’t known whether it was related to the climate or not, but this place that was covered in crystals seed to be chilly in so aspects.

“But it doesn’t seem to be ‘made of ice’. Well, let’s go inside for the ti being.” (Yogiri)

Yogiri opened the door of the station.

It beca the waiting room shortly after they entered. There was a ho-heater placed in the center, and a benches of wood placed so that it surrounded it.

There was also a door on the opposite side of the entrance, and there would be platforms and ticket gates on that side as well.

“There isn’t anyone, huh.” (Tomochika)

“An unmanned station……that can’t be it. It has heating.” (Yogiri)

“Well then, let’s try to look inside as well.” (Tomochika)

Coincidentally, when Tomochika thought of that, the interior door opened.

A young man wearing a uniform entered, but he was in a strange condition.

He was grasping his abdon with a pale face, and he was bleeding to such an extent where he wasn’t able to stop.

His manner of walking was helpless, and his eyes hadn’t settled and were dizzy.

“Eh? Are you okay!?” (Tomochika)

Tomochika attempted to run up to him in a panic, but Yogiri restrained her by holding her shoulder.

Bang!

There was a dry explosive sound.

It was a gunshot. Tomochika realized it imdiately because she had heard it many tis over at her ho.

The young man collapsed, and blood began to overflow onto the floor. It seed he had been shot in the heart from behind. It was instant death.

“You thought you could run away? How disappointing~!” (???)

“Damn! It’s my defeat. That’s not right. But even so, he kicked the bucket quickly!” (???)

“Huh? They won’t just be able to die imdiately from being shot in the stomach.” (???)

“But, you’re unjust. Weren’t you going to spare him if he led us to those fellows’ place?” (???)

“He wasn’t desperate if he didn’t wish to live, so it wasn’t a gamble.” (???)

Then, five n wearing military-like clothing went and entered into the waiting room in a rude manner.

Everyone had a revolver in their hands. Whether or not it was a weapon that was developed in this world, Tomochika didn’t recognize the gun’s appearance.

“Oh? Although it was only a story from the old man, they were he~re. Well, we got lucky~, huh?” (One of the Military n)

The n noticed Tomochika and the others imdiately.

The eyes of the n gathered on Tomochika. Their eyes were wicked ones which had been turned towards them many tis since they ca to this world.

“Die.” (Yogiri)

When Yogiri said so, the military n collapsed on the spot. As their faces were grinning broadly, it appeared they had died without understanding at all what had happened.

“Unngh~, how could you do that in this situation……” (Tomochika)

As she couldn’t follow the sudden developnt, Tomochika complained.

“The man who was shot was already dead, there wasn’t anything I would have been able to do. We don’t seem to have been the cause of it.” (Yogiri)

It was a verbal argunt of considerable blunt refusal, but Tomochika wasn’t able to bla it on him. It was because she had a similar feeling as well.

It seed cold-hearted, but her emotions didn’t stir much even when unknown people died from coming out abruptly.

“Well, even if it’s like this, we are completely ignorant to what’s what. Isn’t it better to confirm what they planned to do?” (Tomochika)

“Although it’s like that, because I believed those guys were going to shoot to death imdiately, it didn’t seem like there was ti to ask for a story.” (Yogiri)

Yogiri was able to perceive danger and killing intent. It appears there was a strength to the threat, but it seems it was decided as imminent in that situation.

“So it’s like that, it’s like they did before, they threaten to kill one person at a ti among other things……don’t beco awfully wicked or sothing, ! It’s separate from the current conversation!” (Tomochika)

『Don’t be too disturbed by this situation, remain promising as a Dannoura successor!』(Mokomoko)

Mokomoko folded her arms and nodded.

“Ah~……for just a bit more, I wonder if I had better continue to go ‘kya~ kya~’……” (Tomochika)

As she was being evaluated like a hero taking a stroll, Tomochika had beco miserable.

Yogiri was examining the n who had collapsed, so it seed he hadn’t heard Tomochika’s utterance.

“Let’s take the guns. Mokomoko-san, you also know such things very well, right?” (Yogiri)

『Hmm. The structure seems to be identical to what I know, so the way to use it should be similar.』(Mokomoko)

“The feeling I got from having seen them, because it seems they don’t have that much luggage, there also might be sothing resembling a main army, huh. Although I think there isn’t any people living in the area around here at all.” (Yogiri)

“Aren’t they soldiers of the royal capital?” (Tomochika)

When it ca to soldiers being near this place, it was the royal capital that imdiately ca to mind.

“I can’t say anything for sure because I don’t properly know about such things like the royal capital and this country. As for what to do, it seems better to move quickly.” (Yogiri)

Yogiri was going to leave the station as he had decided to abandon it quickly.

Tomochika wasn’t minding her feelings as she thought those people hadn’t been killed for sothing botherso.

Around the ti they had co out of the crystallized area, huge castle ramparts ca into sight.

The tall and lengthy walls were persistently continuing as far as could be seen. If it was said the royal capital was inside, it seed to be considerably sized.

“I wonder if it is a so called ‘fortified city’. It looks like it is inconvenient and dark even during the day when you are close to the wall like this, huh.” (Yogiri)

Yogiri was being carefree in the passenger seat, but Tomochika couldn’t get used to such a mood.

“Sorry. Although I thought I had grown accustod to it, this has totally drawn back from reality……” (Tomochika)

She was thinking that she shouldn’t try to look, but she continued to look in the rearview mirror as she was bothered by it still.

There was a mountain of corpses there.

『A murderer would kill one person, but there’s a phrase saying ‘what else but a hero would kill thousands of people?’. In accordance with that, how has it been decided that this youngster is a hero?』(Mokomoko)

The number of soldiers that had collapsed in the plain was an amount close to thousands.

Tomochika and the others who left the station had travelled in the armoured vehicle along the track.

Thereupon people wearing the sa military uniforms as those who were killed at the station had appeared, and they had continued to wage attacks on the armoured vehicle.

Naturally they were intercepted by Yogiri, but the soldiers ca out one after another no matter how many he killed.

The car was being forcibly driven to the end of its limits, and as a result, the group that seed to be an army in so regard was destroyed.

Still, it was abnormal to continue to attack until they were annihilated, and Tomochika and the others didn’t understand their motives.

“The people who continued to attack were bad. Moreover, it wasn’t a situation where we could spend ti in such a place. The class might already be in the royal capital.” (Yogiri)

It appeared that the flow of ti was disordered around the circumference of the tower which had sealed the Devil, so it had unexpectedly taken a fair amount of ti to co to this place.

Also, the train appeared to have its service restored, as Tomochika and others witnessed it pass by them several tis. If she assud they had ridden that, their classmates probably have arrived at the royal capital already.

“I am going to lie down as I have beco sowhat sleepy.” (Yogiri)

Yogiri started to sleep imdiately after he said so.
