So hot
Such a foul s,” Barradually faded The thick pipe next to her was happily operating Bar she was proud to show in front of others The pipe was er than her body and its inside continued to exude heat Thanks to that, it was still extremely hot to walk on the cleaner path next to it Even the water was hot Water for the living passed through this pipe before being purified Because of the heat, the bacteria was having a blastin the pipe, and as such, the smell was much sharper than usual
”I'h her mouth made her frown Even so, she brushed away the tree roots blocking her and continued her walk
Why was she even doing this?
That question had already been kicked flying away
This was the Queen's order, and thatThe Queen's cos in this city Before her words, all of Grendan's citizens had to obey There was no other way That hat it meant to be a Queen
So Barht other people were more suited to this job than her, she could only obey the Queen's order Besides, she thought it onderful to play rock, paper, scissors Noin this gae from paper at that tiht with Cauntia, the idiot who ambushed her, the idiot who had part of her chest cut away from the wind pressure would decide on scissors
She had already played scissors so many times
”Rock, paper, scissors” In the end, Barmelin chose paper She knew Cauntia had a sly smile on her face at that ed her decision to scissors
So she beca idiot”
And everyone else should just go die as well
Bar forward as she cursed and swore The weapon harness hanging from her waist made a ”saasaa” noise In it were a number of Dites, and chains served to decorate her clothes Her face was very pale No one knehether it was because of makeup or if her health was bad Her short hair was naturally black Her lips were painted blue, and black color circled her eyes No one was probablythe aura of the underworld”
Barreat Heaven's Blade Successors There was a reason behind it
The sun was close Sunlight heated her head In thehat with a hand as she lifted her head to look at the sun
”So hot”
The city had entered the tropics Though the air shi+eld had reduced some of the sun's heat, it was difficult to dispel the heat that had entered the city The heat was gaseous and this situation couldn't be helped The air shi+eld was created tohas it been since we last had summer?”
Alsheyra complained on the ha past here bleay the sweat on her feet
”It's been five years,” Kanaris said beside her
”This is the war period There ht be other cities around”
Usually, Grendan e part of the year was in spring, and the rest was spent in winter It wouldn't enter a su in an area it didn't usually enter
”So troubleso here”
Filth monsters were unusually nuo near Grendan This meant Grendan had sole possession of the seleniuain another city's seleniuht filth monsters
”But it's so hot,” Alsheyra said in irritation Evaporated water touched the glass of fruit juice
”Right, let'spool?”
”We don't have any spare ave a cold refusal
Alsheyra looked unhappy
”Well then, is it all right to swi lake?”
”If Your Majesty has finished all the work, then it's up to you”
”Soht to put the problems of reality to the back of thethat all the tihed and curled up on the hamed her way of thinking
”Speaking of which”
Losing to the heat, she gave up curling into a ball and reached for the glass of juice
”Why did we coo?”
”I can only think of the fight with Behe else special happened”
”Ah, BeheicYou still reiven nah the filth iven a na for Kanaris, Lintence, Savaris, and Layfon It took the strongest Heaven's Blade Successor, Lintence, and two other Heaven's Blades to defeat the filth h her eyes and body Even so, she still didn't know the Queen's true strength Did her strength really come from the Haikizoku?
Haikizoku The Electronic Fairy that had gone insane froainst filth y and caer However, no shadow of ant, this was Alsheyra Almonise, but Kanaris knew this was only the superficial side of her Though she was lazy, it wasn't like she never tried Though she was arrogant, she knehat gentleness was like
”Speaking of which, it was just a filth e its path for it?”
”It's impossible to predict the city's destination”
”Well, still”
”Is it all right if I intrude?” A leisurely voice of an old woman suddenly descended
”Delbone? What is it?”
The voice was Delbone's, the only Psychokinesist a the Heaven's Blades
”It seems someone has invaded the inner court of that place”
Kanaris' expression turned horrible after listening to Delbone's report, but Alsheyra's expression reed
”Heh,” she replied ”Well, I don't think anyone can just enter that place, but we can't just let this slide”
”Yes, but that area isn't in operation It's been sealed Even if that person can reach that place, he certainly can't enter it”
”But just in case,” Kanaris said
Alsheyra nodded ”Yes, but we can't send tooa Heaven's Blade?”
”That's the best way”

Barmelin moved in the foul smell as she cursed the tree roots If she had taken the clear path in the Mechanical Departht be other trouble But to Bar the other route was better than this one
However, the Queen's reason had prevented her froe the Mechanical Departht at the entrance of the inner court”
This kind of tree was important to the water purification syste Barmelin could just destroy But in order to release her stress, she was taking it out on the roots Because of the roots, it took longer to get to her destination She had thought for a number of times that it was better to take the normal route
The normal route ran from the Mechanical Departe of the Departs et lost in the maze or even be squashed to death by the walls As such, it'd take a considerable amount of tih the alley
After a hard tied to separate the roots The foul s to her clothes She decided to throay the clothes she wore after everything had finished Then she would need to melt herself in the bathtub As she silently made her vow, she suddenly halted her steps
