Volume 6
Episode 127: Isolation
『Master...?
Are you alright?』
My hometown, utterly transformed...
As
I reeled from the shock of the scene, Eliza hesitantly called out to me.
I
took a deep breath and nodded in response.
『Yeah...
I'm alright.』
The
truth was, I was far from alright, but I pretended to be strong.
『Head
straight to the school and let me know when you arrive.』
『No,
please wait, Master.』
Just
as I gave the brief instruction and was about to cut off the Telepathy Link,
Eliza, unusually, stopped me.
It
was then that I finally realized she hadn't contacted me just to show me the
outside scenery, but because something was wrong.
『What
happened?』
Could it be that A-rank monsters have already
started appearing on the surface...!?
As
my expression hardened, Eliza pointed to a certain area on the surface and
said,
『Master, do you see that
building over there, wrapped in thread?』
She
directed my attention to a building wrapped up in a cocoon by a spider or some
other monster.
『Ah,
yeah, I see it...』
Ignoring
my tilted head, unsure of what she wanted to say, Eliza increased her speed and
flew straight towards Tachikawa.
She
continued flying like that for a while...
『Hmm!?』
My
eyes widened involuntarily at the sight before me.
『Have you understood, Master?』
『...Yeah.』
She
slowed down again and hovered in the sky. At the place she pointed to, there
was the building wrapped in a cocoon from before.
『This...』
Is that just another building that happens to
look similar...? No, that's not it. The surrounding scenery is exactly the same
too. What's going on? Why do we end up in the same place even though we're
flying in one direction? Is our sense of direction being messed with?
『Eliza,
go back once and get a compass from the Dungeon Mart on the surface, then try
again.』
『Yes,
Master.』
"...... Huu."
Seeing
me sigh softly, Ai, who had been still in my arms until now, spoke to me,
"Onii-chan... did something happen?"
"Ah, no, it's nothing."
To
my worried sister, I tried to cover it up with that answer and entrusted her to
Athena, who had come to her side.
"I'm going to check out the situation
outside. Sorry, but stay here quietly with Athena."
"Come, Ai. It's alright, I'm here with
you."
"...Okay."
Ai
looked like she wanted to say something, but perhaps thinking she shouldn't
trouble me, she quietly went deeper inside with Athena.
『Master.』
『Eliza,
how was it?』
『It’s
still no good.』
『What
about other directions?』
『I
will try.』
After
that, we tried several times, changing direction and speed, but it became clear
that we were being looped around within a few kilometers radius, starting from
the area around Hachioji Station.
『Is
the space isolated?』
If so, the only one who could do that is...
I
had already gone beyond despair and felt a sense of emptiness as I contacted
Anna and the others for confirmation.
But,
of course, the communication was――――
『Senpai!?
Are you okay!?』
"W-hat...?"
It
went through...
Then, it's not an Irregular Encounter?
Surprised
by this, I answered Anna anyway.
"Yeah... I'm fine. I defeated the Pied
Piper of Hamelin."
『Oo~!
As expected of you, Senpai! So, how soon do you think you can come back?』
"Well, that's the thing, something weird's
going on, and it doesn't look like I can return..."
『...What
do you mean?』
"That――"
At
first, Anna had been chattering excitedly like a child, but as I explained that
the coordinate data for the Hamelin's Flute had been reset due to various
circumstances, and that the space was now looping around Hachioji Station,
making it impossible to leave, her tone gradually became serious.
『I
see... 』
After listening to my
explanation, Anna pondered for a while, then finally asked,
『I just want to confirm
something. You can see Hachioji Station, right?』
"Yeah."
『Then, please contact
Shigeno-san on the Guild side and try to use the Teleportation Gate to
reach the Tachikawa Guild.』
"Oh!"
That's an
option!
I
slapped my palm in realization at Anna's suggestion.
"Got it. I'll try going to the
Guild."
『Yes. I'll also try to confirm
if the same phenomenon is occurring on our end.』
"Okay."
If this phenomenon is only happening around
Hachioji Station, then the cause is likely lurking nearby. Conversely, if the
area around Tachikawa is also affected, then there's a high possibility that
the same thing is happening in other regions as well.
If it's happening nationwide... that implies
we're already in Phase 4. That’s my concern.
『Well
then, I'll talk to you later... Please be extremely careful.』
"Yeah, you too. Take care of my mom."
『Leave
it to me.』
...Alright, then, let's contact Shigeno-san.
"Shigeno-san, is it a good time right now?"
『Oh!
Kitagawa-san! You're safe!』
"Yes, somehow."
『Thank
goodness. ......So, um, how are the children?』
"Most of them are safe... but a
few..."
『Is,
that so...... That's regrettable, but to have only that much damage considering
they were kidnapped by that Pied Piper of Hamelin, it's a miracle.』
"………… ...By the way, I have a problem."
『...What
is it?』
"Actually――"
I
briefly explained the current situation: that the area around Hachioji Station
was isolated.
『...The
space is?』
"Yes. So, I was hoping you could let me
use the Teleportation Gate connected to the Tachikawa Guild.”
『That......
I'm sorry, we can't.』
"......Why not?"
No way. Could it be because I'm an outsider or something
like that?
As my voice inadvertently
sharpened, Shigeno-san sighed before answering,
『Because
we destroyed it.』
For
a moment, I didn't understand the meaning of his words and had to process them.
Destroyed? What? ......No
way, the Teleportation Gate?!
"W-Why...?"
『...While
Kitagawa-san was fighting the Pied Piper of Hamelin, an incident occurred where
monsters infiltrated and spread via the Guild's Teleportation Gates. In
response, we, the Guild, decided to destroy the Teleportation Gates to prevent
further damage from spreading.』
"............"
I
was left speechless by Shigeno-san's grave words.
Monsters infiltrated through the Guild's Teleportation
Gates?
Was some Guild taken over, allowing monsters to
enter freely?
Or did a dungeon appear inside a Guild shelter?
If so, the damage could have been minimized by
destroying the Teleportation Gate only connected to that Guild.
...Did they try to evacuate people until the
last minute, and end up failing to stop the spread?
Or was the monster invasion so rapid that they
couldn't destroy the Teleportation Gate in time?
『That's why, transfer via the Teleportation
Gate is impossible.』
"Is that so... I understand."
『For
now, would it be alright if you brought the children to our Guild? We can talk in
more detail here slowly.』
"Understood..."
I ended the call on my Card
Gear and gazed blankly up at the heavens in dismay.
"What the hell is going on...?"
[Tips] Dungeons and Dungeon Bosses During
Angolmois
During
Angolmois, the Dungeon Bosses can come out of their dungeons, but their
connection to the dungeon is not severed. The Boss's buffs remain active even
outside the dungeon, and no new Boss will be born until the current one is
defeated.
Therefore,
even if a Boss is defeated outside the dungeon, the dungeon will still be
Calmed, and the clear reward will appear at the lowest floor of the dungeon as
usual.
Also, it has been confirmed
that in special type dungeons (commonly known as Trial Dungeons), where a Boss
is generated only when someone enters, the Boss does not automatically appear
even during Angolmois.
