But ...... this knight ...... what the hell is that?

　I'm not sure if you've heard of this, but I'm sure you've heard of it.
　That's when it happened.

"Oh, ...... my armor is broken......?

　Cynthia, startled, moves away from the scene.

　It's a good idea.

　The black armor surrounding the dark knight made such a sound.

　And then the sound spread in a chain.

　And the sound spread in a chain, and soon .......

　Palin!

　It sounded like glass breaking, and the armor disappeared.

This person is ......

　Cynthia looked at the man in the armor, and her memories came flooding back.

"Did you say Ivan ......?

　I almost forgot, but I managed to remember.

　Ivan.
　I'm pretty sure it's the fake hero that came to King's Landing.
　He said he was the strongest hero of all time, but his abilities were so poor.
　I remember him getting separated from his party and getting lost in the underground labyrinth.

But why this guy?

　The sight of him tangling with Lara and Marise when they were wandering the streets after the festival.
　I also remembered his shameful appearance in the underground labyrinth.

　The Dark Knight himself wasn't much better. I'm not ready to take him seriously yet.
　But even so, ...... it would have been an outstanding power considering the level of this era.
　I don't think he's the same person as the Ivan in front of me.

　So why ......?

Let me give you a little analysis.

　I crouched down and touched the unconscious Ivan.

　I'll analyze the magic in it.
　I'm sure you're not the only one.　You can't control such a huge amount of magic power.
　I'm not sure what to make of that.　I'm not sure what to make of that.

　...... I see.

I understand.

　He stood up and explained to Cynthia.

It seems to have something to do with Bagnuba's magic.
"Bagnuba ...... is the strong evil god Kurt was talking about ......?
Yes.

　I'm not sure what to make of that.
　Perhaps it is designed to possess those who originally have evil thoughts.
　Ivan, the man, was like a mass of evil thoughts.
　No wonder he was taken advantage of by Bugnuba.

Cynthia, you should analyze the magical power that's possessing Ivan.
Yeah. ...... Okay. ......

　This time, Cynthia touches Ivan.
　This time, Cynthia touches Ivan. At that moment, she shivers.

I've never seen magic like this before," she said, "it's so ...... big and so unsettling. I've never seen magic like this .......

　Slowly Cynthia took her hand away from the man.
　Her right hand still trembled.

　Cynthia is a green magician, a girl who is skilled in analyzing magic.
　She's never seen anything like it, and it's a terrifying kind of magic.
　I'm pretty sure it's ...... Bagnuba.

I have to get there fast.

　I look towards the underground labyrinth and tell her so.

"Or ...... and before that.

　I have work to do.
　I use the consciousness-sharing spell I've been using on the girls.

　And then...


"Kurt?


　I hear Lara's voice in my brain.

"Hmm. How are you doing?
'Well, I think I'm okay for now. I'm working with Avril to patrol the city to see if there's anything strange going on. ......

　It seems that nothing strange has happened in King's Landing yet.

"Is Marlies with you?
"Yes!
I'm not sure what to say.　It's weird. It's weird that I can talk to Kurt like this even though we're far apart.

　I could also hear Marise's voice.
　From what they're saying, they're okay for now.
　But if I'm reading this right, .......

I'm not sure what to say.

　I heard the two of them gasp.

"What's wrong, guys?

　I asked.


"A dragon!




　Lara spoke up.
　Dragon ...... will connect to Lara's vision as well.
　The image of Lara's eyes appeared vaguely in her mind.

"What the hell is a dragon doing here?
'Oh, my God. Kurt!　Please come back quickly!

　I can also see Marise's panic.

　The sky above King's Landing.
　There was a huge, jet-black dragon flying in the sky.
　The dragon is circling around and looking down on the capital.

　The people of King's Landing began to panic.


"A dragon?
That's absurd. That's just a myth.
No, there are records of them appearing in the ...... empire. ......
We don't have time to argue about that now!　We have to get out of here!


　We've got to get out of here!
　Before that, a dark and disturbing cloud had appeared.
　In combination with this, the people of King's Landing are unsettled.
　And with the appearance of dragons, ...... it's no wonder they're in turmoil.

　I can go and help you right now.
　I've regained the power I had a thousand years ago, and I'm sure I can handle the dragon while I'm here.

　But...

Both of you. You don't need me to go.
"What?

　They stopped moving.

Lara and Marise should be able to take down a dragon like that with a little help. I'll leave it to you to deal with it.

　I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

　Lara said, "Yes, yes!

　Lara also nodded several times, "Yes, yes! Lara seemed to nod her head several times.

It's okay. The two of you who have mastered the mind's eye in time and space are fully capable of doing so. Just trust my word.

　I'll convince them.

　Is it too early for you two?
　Even if you have the power to slay a dragon, you won't be able to slay one if you're timid.
　But then Marise's face turned into one of determination.

I'm sure you're not the only one who can't beat a dragon.
That's right. And if you think about it, it's been fine until now.

　Huh.
　I think they trust my words, but more than that, I think they're gaining confidence as well.

You're right. Lara, Marise. I'm going into the labyrinth now too. I'm looking forward to ...... your tales of slaying dragons.
"Yes!
"Yes!

　Yes!" Both of them replied strongly.
　...... Though I'll have to use my shared consciousness magic to watch you two fight the dragon.

"Kurt?
Hmm?

　Cynthia tugs at the hem of my dress.

Cynthia wants to watch too.

　Oh. .......
　Cynthia could hear the conversation between Lara and Marise. So she should have a pretty good idea of what's going on in King's Landing.
　But at this rate, only I will be able to see Lara's vision.

"It's too extravagant for me to be the only one to see it. Cynthia can see with me.
"...... Yes.

　Cynthia smiled happily.

　Cynthia smiled happily.
　I'll use me as an intermediary to connect Lara's vision to Cynthia's.
　Now, let's see how Lara and Marise are doing.
