148 in order to help




 What Allen and his team did, in essence, was to trace the demon.

 When the demon is about to be captured, it vanishes in a puff of smoke.
 Allen knew this to be true.
 He had heard that during the incident in King's Landing, the demon he had captured had vanished before he knew it.

 When he heard that story, there were two things he imagined.
 One is that the captured demon was like an alter ego, and therefore disappeared in a literal sense.
 The other is that it might be designed to do something like spatial transmigration in an emergency.

 However, I concluded that the former would not be the case any time soon, because Allen had once seen the captured demon.
 If it was something like an alter ego, he would have noticed it then.
 That means the latter, a kind of spatial transference, is more likely to escape.

 And the reason why we don't call it a spatial transference is because escaping in a spatial transference is not like smoke.
 So they are not alike.

 But even though they are different, they would still be moving from their current position to a different position in an instant.
 If you are there, there is a high possibility that Allen and his team will be able to figure out where they are going.

 This is why Allen and his team succeeded in figuring out where they were going to be evacuated.

...... In other words, you've got the best of both worlds in the end: ......
No, it's not a good place or anything, it's just the right place for the right person.

 This is not a consolation, it's just a fact.
 We did not know when the demon would disappear.
 If Akira hadn't fought for me, there was a good chance I wouldn't have been able to catch the destination.

 Of course, if Henriette had been there, we would have been able to get some idea of it, but even that wasn't complete.
 It was only a rough location, and it would have taken a reasonable amount of time to find the actual place from there.
 If we don't know what is happening to Amazoness, it is better to rescue her as soon as possible, and considering this, it was best for Akira to fight and for Aren and the others to obtain information.

It's just a matter of time before Akira's activities begin.
"Yeah. In fact, the real work is yet to come.

 If you don't know how many you're dealing with, you don't know what kind of situation Amazons are in.
 However, if we spend a lot of time investigating that, we don't know what will happen.
 They might move, and it's possible that they might kill Amazons.

 I don't need to tell you how hard it is to defeat the demons and rescue the Amazons under such circumstances.

By the way, how many people were in Chloe's village?
"Huh? Oh, yeah, I think ...... is about fifty people, right?
"...... exactly, fifty-two people?
It's not that many, but it's not that many that can be protected by a small number of people, and that certainly seems to be a lot of work.
Hmm ...... that's it, but there might not be fifty of them. I've only seen about 30 people here. I didn't see any old people or children. I hope it was simply because they were not brought here: ......
"If the devil isn't even in the place he escaped to, we're in a bit of trouble. ......

 In that case, it means you are somewhere else.
 You would have to find that location and go to the rescue, which is twice as much work.
 It's hard to say which one is harder because there are fewer people to protect, but you should keep in mind that ...... is a possibility.

 If this is the case, then you should get the information from the demons as well.
 I don't know if the devil will keep the old people and children ...... or not, that is to say, those who would be a burden to him, but we can't just assume that it's a bad idea from the start.

But in the meantime, where did that guy run off to in the end?
Well, ......, I could tell you about it if you'd like to have a rough idea, but you'd better get back to me later.
"Huh? Why?
I think it's because if I teach it poorly, I'll get distracted and distracted.
"...... tsk.

 At the words said, Akira clicked his tongue and looked away.
 He thought to himself.

 Even after digging through the ground, a demon had appeared.
 Even if we could tell where the demon had moved to, it wouldn't be a good idea to have other information as well.
 It was decided to thoroughly investigate other locations of the base as well.

 And in any case, it is impossible to find out the exact location here.
 I'd need a map or something.

 As I said when we found the cabin in the basement, the objects Henriette could recognize were basically sketchy.
 Even if we know that there is a target in a rough location, the specific location will remain vague unless someone specifies a definite location.
 This is simply because Henriette's basic criteria are too big, and although greater is better than less, there is a limit to what can be achieved.

 It is the role of Allen to supplement that, and while Henriette traced the general location of the demon's transference, what Allen examined was the detailed information of the transference destination.
 The reason why he didn't specify a specific location is because in that case, there was a possibility of not being able to reach it.

 Since the basic transference takes place in an instant, the time to analyze it is also instantaneous.
 Of course, there is a limit to the information that can be analyzed, and finding the coordinates of a place is a risky act in its own way.
 If you were on your own, you might still choose to look into it, but Henriette will be able to get the general location.
 That's why Allen dares to obtain information about the transfer point.

 And to identify the location, Allen's information alone is still not enough.
 You need to find the location that Henriette specified, so you need a map.

Do I need to go back to ...... because I didn't bring a map?
Yeah. Well, it would be nice to come back in a transition.
But that's only after you've gone through the whole thing!
Oh, I know, I know. I want to repay that bastard for letting me get away with it, but I'm not going to misplace my priorities.

 It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with your friends.
 In fact, Milene and others also look as expressionless as usual, but you can see something like impatience.
 It's natural if you don't know what's happening to the people back home, but you also know that there's no point in getting impatient here.

 What they need now is more information.
 What may seem like a roundabout way, in hindsight, is quite possible.

 Of course, there is also the possibility that it will end up being a complete waste of time ...... but that can't be helped anymore.


 We discussed which is better, and as a result, we chose to continue the investigation.
 We'll investigate here first, then we'll go back to the city and head back to where the demons will be.
 That's the plan for now.

 To be honest, I'm wondering about a lot of things.
 This hut, and that demon seems to have been defeated too easily.
 It's not a matter of Akira's ability, but rather, it's as if he expected to pull out of the game at a certain point.

 Well, if you say it was just my imagination, that's all that matters.
 Anyway.

Well, ......, let's just go upstairs. There's nothing more to do here.
Yeah. There's nothing in this cabin that could give us a clue after all.
"Was ...... just for a trap?
It's a bit too risky for me, but ......, I can't help but think about it.
Yeah. As long as we didn't find anything, that's what we should think.

 While talking about this, they gathered in one place and lightly held hands.
 Once he was sure that everyone was holding hands, Allen focused his attention to make the transition.
