"Hmmm... this should be unexpected again or I found something unexpected..."
Traveling about three hours from Wang Du.
That is, Hildegard, who visited the village, which would normally take three days, sighed when he groaned so.
Though nearly a hundred kilometers from the Wang capital, the nearest city is the Wang capital.
Even when it comes to villages, they are of considerable size.
This is not the first time Hildegard has visited here, but if it is as documented, it is said that hundreds of people lightly live there.
The number of dwellings in sight is also an affirmation of that.
But...
"Ha... ha... unexpected, ha... what...? Oh, come on... ha... what are you talking about, ha... I get it, ha...?
"Oh, ha... hey, ha... I don't know, ha... ha... ha... ha... ha... ha... ha... The... ha... quiet, okay... ha... I don't know if it's a village, but... ha."
and leaks a bitter laugh at the voices heard from the rear.
Looking back, there were two boys and girls there.
It is obvious that they both breathe on their shoulders and look like exhausted.
Well, we've come this far together about Hildegard.
There's no need to do that either...... they still have a lot of guts around exploring what's going on around them and trying to understand the meaning of Hildegard's whining words.
But this is not the time to show it off.
"You don't have to, but you can rest now, okay? Your lords are not coming yet."
"Hey, hey... here's the thing, hey... I can't pull my leg, hey... hey... because I'm not going to"
"Ugh, yeah... hah... corner, hah... call me, I got it, hah... so... at least, hah... not at all, hah... useless, he said..."
"Hmmm... I didn't mean to call you lords..."
Two people who even see desperation somewhere...... Hildegard exhales as he looks at Lars and Helen.
They were accompanied simply because they were the most combative of those returning to the College.
There is basically no other intention.
Though, I've heard stories from Soma about the two of us and so on, so if you say it wasn't there at all, it would be a lie -
"Well, it's a good thing you're going to work hard, and I don't know if I'm going to say too much to get in the way."
Except if that's what gets in our way, but so far there's nothing like that either.
In this situation, there is no way out of the way.
"I can't believe all the villagers have disappeared."
Yes, this village was deserted.
The Hildegards have just arrived here, but to that extent I can tell at a glance.
It's not just that he's not out there, it's that he doesn't even exist in the house.
That was unexpected.
I came to ask how the demons around me were... but it was just a miscalculation.
"Well, given that I was able to find this thing, it's not a bad thing... but the decision of the guy who threw the whole thing at me was correct, is it...?
Even though I felt slightly uncomfortable and tilted my neck, that was definitely the right thing to do.
Though it was an anomaly in the first place, if we correct the original, will the adventurers have fewer demons than usual? And it was only to the extent of a few doubts.
At first glance, there is no such thing as accepting that it is because of my mind.
If there was a problem, does that mean it's been going on all around Wang Capital and all the time for the past week or so?
It's just that it's still something that convinces me if I'm told it's my fault.
At least most people still don't think it's an anomaly.
Or Hildegard, where he knew about it, might not have judged it an anomaly if it had not been submitted as a report.
Even so, the report determined that guilds and kings were abnormal... Well, why not?
Hildegard feels uncomfortable there.
In the first place, this information was picked up from conversations that had been chatted at receptions, taverns, etc.
It really was to that extent, not out of the realm of rumors.
I am not going to deny that important information sometimes exists in such a way.
But if you notice it, most of it is knowledgeable in advance of the underlying information.
It is no exaggeration to say that you cannot realize without it.
Even if you notice from the rules of thumb and experience, you need the knowledge that is a prerequisite.
And there can't be such knowledge of such events as these precedents don't exist, as a matter of course.
Yet they judged it an anomaly, and regardless of whether it had anything to do with it, this is how they actually found the anomaly.
I should have said that their judgment was a matter of skill.
"... Hmm, well, not on hold now for now. First, we need to know exactly what's going on."
No whining about that, no gazing around, no sign of a demon, not even a person.
If this had happened, someone would have noticed right away, so you should assume that this has happened recently.
Nevertheless, what the hell caused this to happen?
I just want to do a closer look... glance at the two of them still breathing in the rear and exhale small.
I brought him in thinking he might need manpower, but maybe he failed.
It doesn't mean the two of them are foot in hand, because depending on the situation, they are likely to be in danger.
Of course Hildegard didn't even think about that possibility, and both of us would be aware of that... if something unexpected had happened so far, there's just something I think.
"... I don't know if I can get away with it... but I think we need to be sure."
I guess I wouldn't have had to think so much about this area if I could have brought around Lina, but I couldn't find Hate and Lina.
Sure, I haven't seen him in the last week or so... well, I can't help thinking about those who aren't there.
He who is now, can only think of what he can do now.
With that in mind and sighing out, Hildegard was able to look around to do what he could now for now.
Somas, who took a day off at the mansion as planned, left the mansion early the next morning.
I took a break and looked around the mansion again, because I still didn't get anything that would serve as a clue to the status quo.
If so, then that's what it is, for no reason is it staying more than necessary.
Instead, in order to find out why this is happening, we should expand the scope of the investigation to the surrounding area.
"Hmm... well, I'm in trouble for this."
But as a result, Soma was to whine such words.
I just looked around, because there was no one there, just like the mansion, and it was a stuffed shell.
Moreover, the condition was similar to that of the mansion.
There is a sense of life, but there were no signs of vandalism, and only people disappeared neglectfully.
I just don't say it's like a god hide, but I couldn't say anything more than I couldn't get any clues.
"I ask you because I have a sense of secular neglect, but have these things not been somewhere before?
"I don't care if it's one or two... I've never heard of it so far."
"... n, as well.... if you've ever heard of the village gone?
"Oh, then I remember my whole life, but surely that would have been something that was judged to have wiped out every village because of magic or some kind of failure? I don't think it's the same as this one..."
Though my mother would have done the same thing, this time only people disappeared neglectfully.
Things are too different, and it's just a pinpoint.
This won't happen unless you even aim for it, and my mother has no reason to do that.
No, in the first place, it wouldn't be possible if it wasn't also space-based magic to do this.
But my mother couldn't possibly use space-based magic.
"So you don't know what this is all about after all."
There's just one thing I found out at the same time.
I don't know what that means, but there's no mistake that something happened.
Although that was almost certain, it was possible that my mothers would still have just done so if only in the mansion.
But if this happens, it just won't be there either.
"Whatever it is artificial, I'm sure something happened... so what are we going to do now? You can't just go back to college like this, can you?
"... I was taken care of by Sophia and the others, and I'm curious about what happened"
"Is Sheila the one who took care of you... she's also your family, and I have no objection, am I?
That means you're rescheduling and telling me to look into this.
Indeed, it is true that Somma is concerned about this matter in many ways.
But.
"... No, so far, I intend to proceed as originally planned"
"... soma?
Are you sure? And Aina asks me with a gaze, but I shrug my shoulders back to that.
Naturally, it's for a reason, and I thought it would be better that way, but it's because of that behavior.
"The... Could it be my fault?
"Yeah? Oh, no, it doesn't matter about Felicia, does it?
Sure, if we were to keep Felicia in the investigation, it could be a problem, but honestly, that doesn't really matter.
Rather than that, should I say that it remains the same either way?
When we try to move forward with the investigation, we end up doing the same thing.
…… What's that supposed to mean?
"I'm not sure I can find any clues when I keep investigating. Then it is probably certain that it will continue to head towards the king's capital. I wonder if that's where the most information comes together."
"... what if you didn't even know it there?
"You won't know anywhere by then. And just because we don't focus on investigating, we're going to gather information on the road."
"I see... but this way, isn't Wang Du necessarily safe, either?
"That's when it happened... and I think it's probably gonna be okay, right?
I don't know how long this has been going on... but it won't even be as far as the King's Capital.
Though inferior to the border two in terms of power on its own, it would be practically the strongest there, given the presence of Hildegardo and Lina, and that shouldn't change looking around the world.
Whatever's going on, it's hard to think that the Wang Capital is doing something about it.
"I don't know if this is the work of the Demon King, but it won't happen."
"... well, yeah. Why are you so troublesome?"
"... I'm really going to say it"
I can imagine that scene is common, and I smile bitterly... and whine.
And.
"That's why we're going to the college as planned."
Somehow, that's what Soma tells him, even as he remembers the unpleasant feeling of not disappearing.
"Hmmm... this should be unexpected again or I found something unexpected..."
