　At the same time, he lifts his blade and cleaves the spot where he was just before.

　A dull thud is heard, and the response is as if he has struck a steel pillar.

　Without a pause, a loud crushing sound echoes through the passage.

　On the far wall of the passageway, two icicles were wedged into the wall like stakes.

　One of them was stuck at an angle, probably because Thor had hit it with his sword.

　While falling to the ground, the steel doll held up its hand once more.

　Sola runs up to me and holds out a silver sword she had picked up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The girl, who had been watching Thor straighten his sword, muttered with a deepened expression on her face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's because you hit it against an icicle, isn't it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Me too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was that fast.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The thunderbolts from the steel dolls on the upper floors are certainly fast, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the timing itself is easy to grasp, since the tip of the wrist glows slightly before it is released.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the attack that sent the icicles flying earlier had no warning.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I noticed it, it was so fast that I can only say that it had already passed by me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Did you see it by any chance?　Thor-chan."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thor nodded silently at the question, remembering the scene that had flashed through his mind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　An image of icicles gouging his chest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Level: 1 / Usable number of times: twice an hour / Activation: instantaneous / Effect: 1 second / Scope: self.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is a terribly useful skill that allows you to know your own future one second in advance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is the reason why the use of is stable.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I used it with caution, and I was right."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, this seemingly unbeatable skill is not without its drawbacks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One is the small number of times it can be used.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since it can only be used twice in an hour, it can only be used in a very critical situation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, the use of is limited accordingly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The second is the short duration of the effect.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since it is only one second away, if the timing of its use is off, nothing will happen in the future.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The fact that we were able to avoid the current icicle was due in large part to luck.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And lastly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is very troublesome, because there is more than one image that can be seen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is not a vision of a definite future one second ahead, but rather a vision of a future with the possibility of such a future.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In other words, in the previous case, there is Thor who died because of an icicle stuck in his chest, but there is also Thor who got down on the floor and avoided it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They are falling down like countless raindrops, filling the entire field of vision.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Without the senses trained through and , it would have been impossible to choose a future in which the icicles would be able to fly away.

"Well, I guess I can handle this next time. "Well, I guess I can handle this one next time..." "You got it, Sora!

I'd like to tell you to wait, but can we go back for a minute?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What's wrong?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Uh, well, I was wondering if I could change my clothes a little bit."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, did you tear it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thor, who touched Sola unprovoked in an attempt to her, twists his head because there is nothing in her history to indicate that she is a Sola.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hm?　I don't see anything."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, I'm not trying to fix it or anything, it's just that you'll catch a cold if it's still wet. Oh, God!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When Thor finally understood what she meant, the girl turned her head to the side with red cheeks puffed out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You're so right, Thor-chan!　That's what I'm talking about!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, Thor, you need to learn to be a little more considerate in that area."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's the point, To-chan."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For some reason, even Moe, with his arms folded, imitates the two of them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thor scratched the bottom of his chin and seriously wondered if he should use before conversations from now on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay. Let's call it a day then."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, the first thing to do was to collect the luggage we had left on the way and return to the sixth floor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
