”Suela!

As soon as I realized what it was, I jumped to Suela and laid her on the floor.

The sound of a huge explosion rang in my ears.

Ogyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

”......... What the hell?

A situation that shakes the building significantly.

It wasn't a disaster, but a man-made act.

The word ”terrorism” went through my head, but a more accurate word came to my mind.

It's an attack! Suela, children.

And as if to affirm my words, a siren echoes through the room.

Satiera and Yukiera's cries grow louder at its thunderous sound.

'Memoria! HIMIK! Mr. Muille!

It's not just a thing.

Understand that much and raise your voice to wake up the three people who have fallen asleep.

Jiro-san, what was that sound?

What's going on, son-in-law?

But there was no need for that.

While firmly awake, Memoria, Himik and Muille came out of the room.

”I don't know. All I know is that someone attacked us.

I know we shouldn't panic, as we don't know the details of what's going on, but I can't help but feel a sense of urgency.

You'll be able to see that there is a partial break in the frontal ward, someone has broken in. The security team needs to take immediate action, and non-combatants are asked to evacuate to the evacuation shelter. Repeat.

”.........

As if to encourage his impatience, a quick but clear voice announces an emergency.

I have only one idea of the existence of an attack on the demon king's army.

No way.

”......... seems to be that impossible

Memoria was stunned that its presence had invaded the company, and Mr. Muille frowned as he accepted the reality.

For now, we can't stay here too long, let's move to a safer place.

While taking in their words, we can't fight a dangerous organization with our bare hands without equipment.

I'll get down to the bare minimum necessary preparations.

Ah, Lord.

And as I was getting ready to leave the room, Himikku, who had been silent for a while, called out to me.

”What's up?

Its face is impatient.

Its face is pale and clattering, as if it were frightened.

You okay?

It was an emergency, but I felt like I shouldn't leave it unattended, so I turned to face Himik, with Suela and the others preparing to go.

Always laughing innocently.

This is Himik, who is always ready to talk about his problems.

Putting a hand gently on your shoulder, you ask Himiku a question, but he shakes his head in silence.

I know you say it's not okay, but I don't know what's not okay.

Take your time, what do you feel?

We had to hurry, but we knew it was bad to rush.

To bear the fear, I hold Himik's hand.

Her hand has become frighteningly cold.

Her hand is trembling as she squeezes it back.

......... sister.

”Sister?

Repeating deep breaths three times.

When the trembling subsided slightly, Himikku said to him, ”My sister.

”Sister Nisia is here.

The fact that the cutthroat was the attacker .

We have to run! You can't win against your sister!

He grips my hand even tighter, desperately trying to tell me how much of a threat it is.

......... Okay.

I tried to take refuge in order not to waste that thought, but .

”No! I have to tell the demons in the company! You'll kill us all!

Otherwise, Himik buzzed and shook his head.

”Sister Nissiya, you can use the power of the Lord God!

Himik desperately tries to tell them not to fight.

'Enemies are advancing in the dormitory and on the dungeon floor, staff in the vicinity must evacuate immediately! I repeat! Evacuate immediately!

As if on the back of his words, a voice tinged with impatience, as opposed to the initial calm broadcast, called for an evacuation.

The situation is getting worse by the minute and there seems to be no waiting.

Holding the mineral tree that you happened to bring from your room in one hand, you switch your thoughts to battle mode.

”Suela, give Himik's information to security.

”Yes!

If Memoria can also tell the members of the shopping district, tell them.

I understand.

Mr. Muille, this is an emergency. May I address that force?

”I would not spare my life for my great-grandson. I will help you as much as I can, son-in-law.

”Himikku

!

Do what you can now and aim for safety first.

And set safety priorities as well.

Suela and the child are the first priority.

Then Memoria and Himik.

And finally, I'm sorry, Mr. Muille.

Are you ready to fight?

In addition, ask Himiku about the most unsettling elements.

From here on out, you'll possibly be fighting your own sister.

Atmospherically, she must have a far greater fighting ability than Himiku.

Hence the question.

If you can't fight, that's fine.

It's good enough for you to run away with the memoria in your arms.

......... Yeah, that's all right.

But Himik was a strong woman.

Pushing down her anxiety, she closed her eyes once, exhaled deeply, and opened them, her eyes were ready.

”Yes! I'll take the front. I'll take Suela and the kids and let Muille and Himik take the rear. Memoria, support Suela.

When it happens, we act immediately.

I'm armed only with my one mineral tree.

Then I, who can wield it, should lead the way.

”How do I get to the shelter?

There should be an emergency transition gate on each floor, but it's possible that it has been disabled to prevent the enemy from entering.

”Okay. We'll get there first. If we can't, we'll just have to change course.

Determined to protect it at all costs.

Throw yourself into the fray now.

Word of the Day

Sometimes the impact can't be felt on the other side of the river.
