80 76 Falls from blind spots (behind) (1/2)
Another side
The sensation of floating for a few seconds, and then the magical light settled on what must have been hard stone pavement.
Even though one of the drones had thought so, the sensation coming from his feet was a jarring sound as he stepped on the sand.
He didn't show his agitation, but quickly assessed the situation to react to the unusual situation.
The brick wall was exposed to the rocky surface, and the soldiers who were waiting for you were nowhere to be found.
Unlike the students who were brought to a strange place out of the blue, the scouts are busy grasping the differences between the place and the one they had in mind.
That's probably why you'll be the first to find an expressionless girl with silver hair, unbecoming to be in such a cave waving a small flag.
From my experience as a spy spy, I had to say that this girl was suspicious.
The location, the current situation, and the timing all make her an enemy.
”Welcome, expectant Japanese.
Amidst the hostility lurking in the secret saucepan, the girl began to respond as if she knew the brave men were coming to shift.
She doesn't look nervous as she flaps her flag as if to draw attention to you.
To the Japanese students, they would have thought she was a tourist guide.
But it doesn't take long for the unaware scouts to realize that the girl's nonchalant performance of her role is a trap.
My name is Memoria. I'm like a pilot who will take you back to Japan, but you don't have to remember it. You will sleep here.
In fact, that idea was not wrong.
Sleep.
Does it mean to kill, the scouts think.
The students who thought this was their destination suddenly become agitated, and some of them ask if their refuge is in Japan.
It couldn't be, the spies wanted to scream from the bottom of their hearts as the situation slowly deteriorated.
The students wouldn't know it, but you can't use a technique to move to another world that easily.
Even those who summoned them in the first place don't know how to send them back.
A secret agent from a country that prides itself on being the best at summoning rituals of any country does not show an ounce of frustration and calmly invokes a magic item to inform you of your location in order to seek help.
You have to be careful not to get too much attention from the other people. I don't want to waste my time.
At the same time, the covert operatives were caught in mid-air.
”Biko!
One of the students exclaims his concern for a secret agent who was being fished in midair.
Suddenly, some of the students reach for their swords in a spur-of-the-moment move.
But then...
Is that a body?
”Not moving!”?
”Huh? Why!
They are all neutralized in the blink of an eye.
This is one of the ancient dungeons in Isual, a realm where the Sun God's blessings fade away. I can at least prepare a trap that can contain you immature people, even if you are brave.
The shadow, which wriggled around the girl's shadow as its base point, was attacking the students with a clear intention.
”Don't worry. There's no pain, and it's not life-threatening. The next time it happens, we'll just go back to our somewhat noisy routine.
So not all students can feel at ease when they see a girl who is proceeding with the task at hand, telling them to sleep.
On the contrary, her nearly expressionless face incites fear, and she becomes even more violent.
Still, the shadow mercilessly and surely catches and covers the students.
Some spies realize from their magic and from the sheer amount of magic they're dealing with that they're not human, but with more than half their bodies covered by the shadows, they can no longer scream and it's too late.
The other spies, along with the other students, try to resist, and use magic to wield their arms and legs, but the shadow covers the students without even slowing down, as if they are laughing at such futile efforts.
The scene was like a man trapped in a bottomless pit, desperately resisting to crawl out.
Then, one by one, the shadows cover the vision of the students who were resisting until the last minute, and the place goes silent.
Another side END
Side Memoria
Watching the still slightly wriggling black ground, you confirm that the plan has worked.
It's only a matter of time before you can subdue it.
No matter how high the magical resistance of a brave man, if he is still inexperienced, he can be captured and subdued.
All you have to do is wait until the forced-sleep ritual is in place.
You can't move from here to maintain the ritual.
And since this technique captures the other person's presence at all costs, we can't have someone to talk to.
Simply put, I'm not busy right now.
And I can't move and I have no one to talk to.
I have no book to read.
The only thing I can do now that I'm out of things is to think.
And the first thing that came out was how I captured these brave men.
Just in time, just in time to see if there are any holes in the story so far.
Jiro-san said that emotions come out in action, so I slanted my face a little and thought back to the events that led up to this point.
It all started back before I left Jiro-san, when we were discussing how to bring these brave men back to Japan.
”The first plan is to return to Japan with the agreement of both the country and the students, the second plan is to escape by force with the agreement of the students only, and the third is
Forced return due to abduction against the will of the other party.
Once again, the smell of crime is amazing.
The last meeting in a room at the inn before we parted.
I will keep in touch with you on a regular basis, but the next time I see you, whether you succeed or fail, is when you return to Japan.
In front of me, Jiro was reading the documents and trying to remember the details of the meeting.
There is no problem because I already remembered it, so I'll go along with him to review the details.
I had a maiden's heart that wanted to be with him, so it wasn't hard for me to do that.
The first plan is to negotiate with the country to return the brave men and women without conflict.
