Episode 61. Early summer night fireworks (1)
‘Hey yayyyyyyyyyyy! Choked!’
I jumped up and left the room.
it’s a big deal
really messed up
If you keep going like this, you will end up losing Giyeon.
A rocky mountain beyond the wist forest.
The name of Giyeon hidden there is ‘Bape’.
It is a weapon that changes into an optimal form for the user.
In the case of Hurt Locker in the original work, it became a long sword made of black steel from the blade to the handle, which he calls ‘Viper’.
Thanks to Heukgang’s unique simple structure, he was able to disassemble and hide it with mana in an instant, and then take it out and fight when a battle broke out.
What kind of weapon will it be in the case of Schlusz?
‘Calm down. This is not the time.’
This is not the time to think like that.
The important thing is that a map of the location of the bar is hidden in this inn.
The Hurt Locker found it by accident and went to find it secretly at dawn.
That said, without Hurt Locker, the possibility that someone else can find the map cannot be ruled out.
‘Where?’
Let’s reminisce
Where did you write it then?
‘ah.’
I just remembered
I never described where the box containing the map was hidden.
Instead, I just said that it was washed away by the rain.
So, it was an error to find it.
Kwagwang…!
“under.”
When I looked outside, there was already thunder and lightning and it was raining a little.
Then you will never find it inside the inn.
I grabbed the raincoat around my waist and ran down the hallway in a hurry.
“Shulus.”
“············”.
As I was about to pass through the hallway, a low-pitched voice called out to me.
At first I thought it was someone I didn’t know.
“Einz?”
That’s because I never imagined that Einz’s tension would be so low.
Einz sat on a chair in the hallway, opened a can, drank, and shook his head.
Anyone who sees it would think I’m drinking canned beer.

Just chocolate flavored milk.
“I… am I doing something wrong?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Fire magic earlier. Maybe it shouldn’t have been shot.”
“············”.
Einz seemed to blame himself for what he had done earlier.
It’s a little sensible.
With this bastard’s personality, he threw himself into the room again and said, ‘I did well! Why do you blame me!’ I thought you were going to be messing around like this.
He was a guy who could do something called reflection…
Is this also the effect of the butterfly effect that I came from?
A change in this direction was welcome.
“Einz.”
“uh.”
“Do you remember what I said earlier?”
“With great power comes great responsibility…. That?”
“Yeah. Naturally, it must be difficult to wield great power that much. If you wield it without thinking about the future, it would be like a madman.”
“The rabies….”
“Nevertheless, as Professor Sergei said, it turned out to be a good thing. Although it was a wildfire and we had to walk to this place, it is far better than causing loss of life. There is only one thing I want to say.”
“What?”
“Feel the weight of your power, Einz. Power doesn’t make you. You have power. If you become more determined, you won’t be swayed by my power.”
In the case of Einz, I rely too much on power to prove myself.
Geji is mistakenly thinking that he must show strong strength to show his side as a prodigy of Wiegenstein.
But the order is wrong.
It’s not because you’re strong that you’re strong, but because you’re strong, you can wield great power.
Even if he was given strong power, he would collapse like the Einz in the original.
“uh······?’
I thought I conveyed this statement quite intuitively.
Einz tilted his head as if he didn’t understand.
stupid bastard…
It seemed like too much of a spell to wish for awakening, at least during the Whist Forest practice.
At least until the final battle, I wish I had awakened.
Einz’s vast magical powers would be very useful.
“Then I’ll go.”
“Where are you going?”
“Go for a walk.”
“In this weather…?”
He left behind the puzzled Einz and went out.
The rain wasn’t that strong, but the muddy water was already flowing on the floor, and it looked like the soil was being washed away little by little from the mountain.
Then, the box was buried somewhere in the mountains and then floated away.
Fortunately, I looked around and there were hardly any people outside.
great. At this rate, I might be able to retrieve the box first.
“ah.”
As soon as I thought about it, I found the box.
As soon as I saw that red, jewel-like box, I immediately sensed it.
That’s the box with the map in it.
It looked exactly like what was described in the original.
But the problem is-
“George.”
that the inside was empty.
It was said that someone took out a map.
Who the hell are you?
It was probably the person staying at this inn, so it was most likely one of the students.
Should I go back inside and interrogate the students one by one?
“Huh. I found it.”
As soon as he turned his head, he found the culprit.
Exactly in the footsteps of the criminal.
Footprints were clearly visible in the muddy mud caused by the rain.
From this inn to the forest down there.
In this rain, and soon the sun is going down, there is no way anyone can enter the forest.
You’ll probably find it by looking at the map in nine out of ten.
“I can’t.”
licked his tongue
In front of me is a landmine burial area.
There is a road to the beginning of the forest, so I will keep walking, but the road will be cut off along the way.
However, if you walk on the trail made by the animals of the forest, mistaken for a path…
pop.
You enter the minefield and you get horribly shattered.
“hahahaha…. sep. It makes people tired.”
I had no intention of letting the victim come out of this exercise.
Because it’s even worse if it’s named like Professor Sergei or Trier.
I sighed and followed the footsteps in the mud into the woods.
***
“This direction…….. right?”
Treer took the map out of his arms and looked at it.
I was in a hurry to get wet in the rain, but there were no drops of water falling on the map.
“uh?”
Soon the rain had stopped.
Tree walked over the raincoat’s hat and looked around.
This is also a dense forest.
There is also a dense forest.
To be honest…
“Am I lost?”
It became impossible to know where this was.
Still, I followed the road all the way, so if I go the other way, I’ll be able to go back to the inn.
Tree, who was about to set foot confidently again, was-
“Huh? Huh?!”
Suddenly, I realized that the road had disappeared on the ground.
what? Surely there was a narrow road just now?
The tree that was about to turn back and go back the way it came was feeling confused.
Now I didn’t even know where the back was.
Well, let’s move on and find our way again.
I was about to step forward thinking about it, but only then did I see giant trees that had broken and fell around me.

Judging from the messy cross section, it looks like it was caused by an explosion…
it was a landmine
The only thing that could blow up a tree like that was landmines.
“Gee, it’s a minefield area…?”
Tree fell into a panic.
“Eight! I don’t know! Let’s run-“
“Stop, tree.”
“··········································································?!”
The tree froze at the low-pitched voice.
Upon recognizing the voice, Trier’s face turned bright and depressed at the same time.
It was good to meet people when we got lost, but that’s what Schlust is.
His dignity as a teacher was in danger of falling.
“Shulus! I’m going that way…”
“Don’t move even a single step. You may touch a mine.”
“Hey?!”
At Schlust’s warning, Treer stiffened again.
Come to think of it, there were landmines buried in the Wrist Forest where there was no road.
A mine that is buried in the surrounding mana and then thoroughly concealed, making it difficult to detect by any means.
I heard that it explodes the moment you touch it, turning people into rags.
All of a sudden, Tree’s face turned white.
“What should I do?”
“Stay still for now. I’ll figure out a way.”
Beyond the bushes, from afar, Schlus’s voice continued to be heard.
However, neither the direction of the sound nor the volume of the sound were different from before.
That meant that Schlus was still in one place.
“Shulus. Did you come in too? In the minefield….”
“······Yes.”
“Aha.”
Then I understood.
Schlusus had become in a situation where he couldn’t even succumb.
Knowing that, I was fed up and laughed out loud.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Ah. Can you hear me? Your ears are very bright.”
“Actually, I don’t have bright ears, but let’s just say…”
“Well?”
Schlus made a sound that didn’t make sense in English.
“So how do we get out?”
“Don’t rush it. Who made this happen now?”
“How else did you know I was here?”
“I saw the footprints. I was afraid to go into the forest, so I followed.”
“Aha······.”
I thought it was really Schluss.
Because he’s a guy who saves others by blowing himself up, Schlusz.
As a result, he himself was locked up with no way out.
“Ah. It’s slowly going down.”
“············”.
The sun began to disappear through the tall green trees.
With him, the orange light shining through the trees was scattered and spread out by the water droplets on the bushes.
It must be really dark now.
If you spend the night here, you will catch a cold.
No, I’m just glad I catch a cold.
Schlusz, whose body was not strong enough, could even develop hypothermia.
Thinking like that, I felt a sense of crisis slowly creeping over the tree.
That doesn’t mean I can’t think of a way to overcome this situation.
“Shulus.”
“Why are you calling me?”
“Are you always like this?”
“What are you saying.”
“Are you always looking for people so recklessly?”
“············”.
The answer is a little delayed.
Actually, the answer I wanted to hear was different.
Knowing that you were imprisoned, he said he came to rescue them…
I wanted to hear that you came to save me.
“Yeah. It’s always like this.”
“That’s right….”
But not everything was going the way we wanted it to.
The tree had a stiff back from standing for a long time and smiled bitterly.
“But there are exceptions.”
“What?”
“Especially important people. I tend to overdo it when trying to save people like that.”
“for example?”
“Tree. A guy like you.”
“··········································································?!”
Treer almost fell forward at the completely unexpected answer.
Changing postures without knowing where the mine was located had to be avoided as much as possible.
“On the tree.”
“yes······.”
“If we get out of here safely.”
“yes······.”
Trier replied, feeling his heart pounding.
How could the atmosphere be gloomy?
If it’s this flow, obviously…
“Then won’t you be my colleague?”
“ha······.”
Then yes.
The expected self suddenly looked like an idiot, so Tree took a deep breath.
“A colleague? Aren’t you still a colleague?”
“It’s not just about school. Whether it’s during vacation or after graduation, I want to be with you on the tree. I need your sword.”
“My sword….”
“Your sword is unique, Tree. No one dares to catch up with your swordsmanship. If you hold the sword and practice again, I think it will be possible to reach a higher level.”
“Ha. How do you know that?”
“that······.”
Schlusz’s mouth shut as if he sensed the chilly air current.
Trie’s face, who had been smiling until just now, had a hard expression on his face.
“How do you know if I can reach a higher level in the subject of learning swords from me?”
“············”.
“I can’t reach it. That’s another level. I’ve decided to give up. I don’t hold the sword anymore. Except when necessary.”
“I need you, Tree.”
“done!”
“Tree. Even if you put down your sword and use your magic power, you won’t be able to find your father.”
“······································································!
Trier shook her head.
I just heard an unacceptable sound.
Trier’s face was flushed with anger.
“You…! What did you just say!”
“You said you couldn’t find your father by magic.”
“So how do you know that! Have you ever reached the end of magic? Have you reached the height of an archmage! How dare you assert! The limits of magic!”
“I do not know the limits of magic, but I do know the truth of the world. The dead cannot be brought back to life.”
“What are you talking about-“
“Tree. Your father is dead.”
“······································································!
Trier’s expression twisted violently.
Is this something to talk about while standing on a minefield?
