46 [39] Crisis of the Kingdom of Humanion ②.txt (1/2)
After leaving Lieselotte and the others, Virum and Cunaria are on their way to Meldina's room.
Concerned about Meldina's safety, Virum, who is in a hurry but not failing to be vigilant about his surroundings, notices that something is wrong in the castle.
(Strange. Despite the sound of so many explosions, there's no indication that they are moving to respond. No, on the contrary, I can't feel any signs of people themselves...?)
Virum and Cunaria were running and moving from the place where they heard the sound of the explosion just now, but for some reason, none of them could be seen.
However, it seems that Coonaria is too concerned about Meldina to wonder about the fact that no one is visible.
Having arrived at one of the guest rooms given to Coonaria and Meldina, Vilm kicks open the door without pause.
What they saw as they entered the room as if they were collapsing into an avalanche was Meldina, who was about to be swallowed by a black crystal-like object in the shape of a coffin, and Miselio, who was desperately trying to rescue it.
''━━''
'Mel! Big time.
”Kuna! Don't touch it!
The one who reflexively blackmailed Meldina, who approached her to help her, was Miselio, who had a pained expression on his face as he pointed his hands at the black crystal.
Cunaria stopped moving by making her body tense up with a bicuri.
''Miselio, what should I do?''
”If you pour your magic into this black... It's slowing down the erosion! That's why...
All right. Get some rest.
Approaching calmly and a little too quickly, Virum held his right hand in front of the black crystal without listening to the last of Miselio's explanation.
Virum's enormous amount of magic power, which could be described as enormous, flowed into the black crystal with great force.
”Mischief... Mischief...
With a creaking sound, a large crack enters the black crystal, but it doesn't seem to have reached the point of cracking.
(I see. Looks like Miselio's view was correct. But it's even stronger than I thought. More, all at once!)
Phew!
”Pacquiao.
The moment the amount of magic power that is poured in with the spirit is increased all at once, the black crystal shatters as if it were to pop off.
Meldina, who has lost her support and falls to the floor, is hurriedly held by Cunaria.
''Whoa! Doh! Mel, are you okay?
'Yes, it's okay. I used up most of my magic power to slow down the erosion of that black crystal. Coona, Vil, thank you for saving me... and Mio, too.
I... 'Yeah!'
Cunaria and Miselio's faces break out in relief at Meldina's words of thanks.
Miserio in particular has a big smile on his face.
''I'll give Meldina and Miserio the amount of magic power we consumed. Coonaria, please be vigilant of the surroundings.
Yes, sir!
Slowly, Cunaria laid Meldina down on the bed and settled in front of the door of the room.
Wyrm sat down on the bed and placed his right hand on Meldina's forehead, and with Miselio on his left hand, he began to gently send magic power to match the two of them.
'Meldina, Miserio, just let it be. Tell me what happened, as far as you can tell.
Apparently there was no physical damage to Meldina and Miserio, so a relieved Virum decided to hear from them.
''Honestly, I'm not sure. I was getting ready to go to Heishela's place when I heard something explode from above, and when I rushed to go see it, that black crystal caught my foot. It kept going up and up, and my body was freezing up, so I tried to break it and used my magic, but it didn't work...
''It's just that when I used my magic, the black crystal's movement slowed down, so I was pouring my magic power into it, thinking that it might be a possibility. It's a good thing that you were able to make it just in time. I was on the verge of running out of my magic power...''
Neither Meldina nor Miserio seemed to have seen the surgeon, and no information about the ringleader of the commotion was received.
(Was it a bad idea to let Lieselotte go when it comes to this? As I recall, you said it was the King's Chamber.)
After finishing the supply of magic power to Meldina and Miselio while thinking about it, Vilm spoke again to the two men who were stretched out in similar outfits.
'Meldina, Miserio. Go to High Sierra. If the sealing technique is that powerful, I don't think its effect can reach the place where Heishela is. We need to circle around the kingdom and look for any suspicious characters. In the unlikely event that High Shelah is trapped by the Black Crystal, get as far away from the kingdom as possible. If they're that far away, Meldina and the others are the opposite of dangerous.
Okay.
”Maka mekashi nasai!
Virum nodded at their replies, and then turned to Cunaria.
''Coonaria will go with me. The enemy is likely to be more than one, and there is also the possibility that Zeldia, Rumelia and the others are being held captive. Help me.
'Yes, sir! Master's back is safe with me!
Cunaria clasped her hands together and made a small gut pose in front of her large chest to get her spirits up.
