　The ground had risen to the height of a person's back on one side, bordered on one side by a certain line. The bumps in the ground started outside of Ptahlesk and ran along the perimeter of the city.

　At a glance, no buildings seem to have been destroyed by the bumps. No one appears to have been seriously injured.

　There was one big problem, however.

　Kareen showed me a map of Ptahlesk. It showed the damage caused by the earthquake. The map also briefly describes the uplifted ground here. Kalin was concerned that the uplifting of the ground might coincide with the magic circle to avoid monsters, and that is why she asked me to help her.

　Unfortunately, her fears proved to be correct.

　Residents whisper such things to each other. Considering the fact that they were stunned by the upheaval of the land, they were probably recent arrivals in the Admiral territory.

　For a moment, I wondered if it would be better not to startle them too much, but since I had told Kalin that I would return early, I couldn't take that long either.

　The compound magic circle, which I have already become accustomed to using, casts light around the area. It is so bright that it drowns out the light from the lighting fixtures.

　As expected, the residents were surprised.

"Hippopo Brothers! Clear that rise in the earth, please!"
