There is a concentration in the twilight. The further east you go, the more dense it becomes, and if the density exceeds a certain level, and the strength of the demon exceeds B rank, the area beyond that point is set as a danger zone. The place can only be dealt with by a 2nd level anti-magician or higher. Also, if they don't hunt there regularly, dangerous demons may enter the safe area. For this reason, the Dusk Task Force is supposed to fight in that dangerous area almost every day.

　It was not unusual for deaths to occur. But still, someone has to do it. There are a good number of people who move through the safe zone. We have no choice but to act to protect those people and to eliminate this twilight.

　Furthermore, the danger zone is divided into ten levels. The further east you go, the higher the level goes, and finally the farthest east is level 10, where I once arrived at Ogre's village, which is also level 10. And the density of twilight is also in the north and south, and it tends to get thicker the further you go to the end. In other words, the Seventh Warding City and First Warding City were also quite dangerous places.


''Danger zone level 1?''
'We're going there today. Maybe we'll go up to level two.
Have you been there after level 3?
'We've only been to level four. So, having gone to level 10, we're counting on you.
Okay.


　The colonel told me that and I nodded. But I didn't know everything about twilight. I had fought, but I was more likely to run away. Especially the further east you go, the higher the density of the dusk and the strength of the demons become in proportion to the density of the dusk and the strength of the demons, so around level 10, I only lived my life on the run.

　Even so, my knowledge and actual battle skills were definitely valued as useful and here I am. I need to firmly fulfill my duty.


Then the vanguard is Julia and Scott. The middle guard is me and Carl. The rear guard will be Eira and Luna.
Copy that.


　When they all said that, we went out into the twilight.


　◇


　We left the seventh ward city and scraped the demons at random in the safe area we came to the dangerous area.


".........
What, do you miss it?
Well that's true, but you're very clear, Lieutenant Bates.
Ha-ha, well. I hope you'll show some respect while you still can, Sergeant Major.
Major....


　He's sarcastic, but that's just as well. He is more than 10 years older than me. But he wasn't being sarcastic to that extent, and I could sense some kind of gentleness in his voice.


　And since Lieutenant Bates and I are in the vanguard, we continue on our way. Then a familiar demon appears in front of us.


''White Wolves it's a pack. There's a lot of them.''
It looks like...


　And we hold up our swords. Then the lieutenant glances at me and makes a surprised sound.

''I've heard rumors but seriously, it's a knife?''
Yeah, well. But it's not just a knife.


　While I'm doing so, instructions come flying in from the colonel.


'Julia, Scott, cut down the enemy!　We'll help from the rear, and we'll clean up the leaks too.
Yes, sir!


　Taking that word as a cue, we try to pour the earth over it....


'Yes, that should do it, right?'


　That voice was senior Eira. The white wolves' feet were completely frozen underneath them, unable to move. In the blink of an eye, Eira-senpai's magic had frozen everything in place.

　After that, it was a simple matter of simply chopping off his head. Using the knives I held in both hands as a starting point, I activated the Invisible Blade to cut off the heads one after the other to annihilate them. After that is done, the lieutenant looks at me intently.


''Hey........Major-dono. What's going on with that?
"Well, this is a type of illusionary magic. It's my original, and it's called the Invisible Sword, the Invisible Blade.
"Wow, that's some serious magic again...
'I see, an invisible blade.......that's quite effective. The advantage of being invisible is stronger than you can imagine. Besides, with a starting point, multiple deployments are possible, right?
'Yes, but you know a lot about it. Captain Hunt is.
''In the meantime, I've researched you guys beforehand. The information on the special class anti-magicians is reasonably public, you know.
'Hmm, isn't it great? My Julia is amazing!


　Eira-senpai comes into the conversation saying that. Why is senpai so proud........


''Your ice magic just now was also brilliant. I see, after all, it seems that being a special class anti-magician is exceptional. With this, you might be able to make it to level 2 today. Colonel, how would you like to go?
'Well there's certainly nothing wrong with that but wait a minute, I'll get in touch with headquarters.


　When the colonel says this, he activates his magic and a spinning magic circle appears. He brings it around his ear and has some kind of conversation with it.


''Eh, what is that thing?''
It's the latest in a long line of communication-capable wizards the engineering department has produced, Major Curtis. It's still having some problems, but it does seem to be able to communicate.
'Well, Lieutenant Gray is that right?
'Yeah. They're still having all sorts of problems, but they can talk to each other for quite a distance. It seems to be transmitting sound by tracing the magic element.
I see...


　As I was so impressed, the call seemed to end.


"Permission granted. You're only allowed to go to level 2. We don't want you to go to level 3. Is that clear?
Copy that.


　Once again we are moving through the twilight.
