There is no space in the Holy Land to park a large airship.

In the end, Aurora had no choice but to ascend by airship.

“Isn’t it okay to attack?”

“Hold on, Sister. Let me hear your story first.”

Zero, who was pulling Aurora’s wheelchair, looked at the part where the barrier was broken.

How dare you come in after so ignorantly breaking the barrier created by the saint’s divine power.

Since the divine power is infinite, it’s not like it’s particularly difficult or anything, but it was just annoying.

“Hello.”

“Hello, Your Majesty. So, can you explain what happened?”

Aurora almost sighed when she saw Elin’s face, but barely managed to hold it back.

Isn’t this a child whose loved one has left?

How upset must you be right now, to have broken the barrier of the Holy Nation… … No, no matter what, I still don’t understand this.

“It’s a bit long, is that okay?”

“Then please explain briefly.”

“The airship I made to catch you had too much magic power in it and it broke the barrier of the Holy Land.”

“… Could you make it a little longer?”

In the end, Aurora had to hear about Elin’s airship development story.

Even though I don’t have the technical skills to build airships professionally.

Converting an abandoned banquet hall into an airship and launching it.

In fact, it was no different than blowing magic power into a building and making it fly.

“That’s possible… That’s… .”

“Isn’t it possible for the saintess too?”

Zero, who was also shocked from behind, asked.

There isn’t as much difference between magic and divine power as you might think.

The only difference is whether it comes from the mana heart or receives the blessing of the goddess.

If we pray earnestly to Aurora, we might be able to make the Holy Land into an island in the sky.

“There is no reason to use the power of the Goddess in such a place… .”

The average person wouldn’t think of converting a building into an airship, even if it were possible.

“Anyway, I understand the situation. … But I don’t understand.”

Aurora added quietly and continued speaking.

“So you came to see me? Your method was a bit extreme.”

“Yes. I will definitely repair the barrier.”

“No, that’s a barrier created by the goddess’s blessing, so I have to pray myself.”

“Ah… … .”

Elin’s stupid hair withered.

It seemed to say, ‘There are things in this world that cannot be done with magic.’

“This time, I will compensate for it somehow in Bertain’s name… .”

“Material compensation is fine. We are not unfamiliar, and if we can continue to have a good relationship with Bertain in the future, that is enough for me.”

If we hadn’t been friends, we might have started a holy war.

However, the opponent is Bertain, one of the five great dukes of the empire.

The Duke was hanging out with the demon followers, and Luke was leaving too.

If these two things could be resolved, it was certain that they would become the best prestigious family.

Especially if a genius wizard like Elin becomes the head of the Bertain family.

“Umm… Is that really okay?”

“Of course. What can I do since the barrier has already been broken? It’s not like it can’t be restored.”

“You are truly a saint… .”

“?”

So you’re saying that you didn’t think she was a saint until now?

When Aurora tilts her head.

Elin’s stupid hair came to life slightly.

“Then, I know it’s really shameless, but can I ask you one thing?”

“Of course. You didn’t walk that far to get here, but you came a long way. Say anything.”

“Please cure the teacher.”

“Oops.”

Only then did I remember.

I thought it was an invasion of the demon kingdom and I was so busy using expensive teleportation scrolls that I forgot about it.

I originally wanted to apologize for missing Luke.

“But what about treatment?”

“The teacher is very sick.”

Does that mean you have a headache?

It was understandable to think that way when someone treated me so well as if they would give me everything and then suddenly left.

“When I use magic, my mana heart reacts negatively, so I vomit blood all the time. My condition has gotten so serious that I’m now extremely thin… .”

It wasn’t a headache.

I’m glad I didn’t say out loud what I just thought.

“Hmm… ?”

But something was strange.

“Luke is sick?”

“Yes. He took my bottle instead.”

“Is that so?”

The Luke Aurora had seen on the northern outskirts seemed healthy.

Didn’t you just escape through the portal when you tried to catch it?

“I was fine even if I used magic… … ?”

“Yes?”

“Ah, actually, I met Luke but I missed him… .”

Kkudangtang!

The chair Ellen was sitting on flipped over.

“Did you meet the teacher? Where?”

Elin’s eyes suddenly rolled back.

If Aurora wasn’t a saint, she would have grabbed him by the collar.

Kukuku… .

The magical power that pours out in a stream is sucked into the airship.

“Now, wait a minute, Your Majesty! I’ll explain everything, so calm down first… !”

Aurora apologized to the goddess and raised her divine power.

I feel like I borrowed too much power today, but I had no choice but to stop Elin.

If things continue like this and the airship suddenly takes off, another hole will be created in the Holy Nation barrier.

“Luke met me in the northern outskirts!”

“… … ”

It was only after Aurora started talking that Elin finally calmed down.

* * * * *

“… … That’s what happened. I apologize again. I couldn’t keep my promise… .”

“No. It’s the teacher who’s bad, not the saintess.”

After hearing the whole story, Elin was surprisingly calm.

I was thinking of subduing him right away if he started to run wild.

Aurora lowered her hand awkwardly.

“Well, even if you were a teacher, you would have had to go to the surrounding area to move the magic tower… and if you joined the secret task force in the northern outskirts… … .”

Elin, who had been muttering to herself, bit her lip.

“… It’s annoying.”

Why is Luke in the North?

It was obvious that he was traveling with a secret task force.

The idea is to find the sign in the north, where the last clue to the Demon Resurrection Circle is located, and prevent the danger.

For Elin.

That was so annoying.

I might have been less angry if he had left for his own happiness.

But, the thing he does after abandoning Elin like that is to track down traces of the devil…

“… How should I scold him.”

Elin’s voice is eerily quiet.

Aurora, who was in front, had a gut feeling.

If Luke is caught, he will never live a good life.

“But the teacher was fine?”

“Yes. He doesn’t look particularly sick, and he’s good at using magic, right?”

“… … ?”

Elin’s stupid hair curled into the shape of a question mark.

If you took the curse instead, how could that happen?

Before meeting the saint, there was a method of treatment… … .

“… … !”

“Why are you like that?”

When Ellen suddenly got up again, Aurora also became nervous.

It was because he unconsciously thought of Elin as a time bomb.

It wasn’t exactly a wrong idea.

“I think the teacher did something stupid again.”

Luke had taken Elin’s curse with him by making a pact with the dragon.

And the dragon is in the north.

If Luke had made another pact with the dragon in the North… .

You may not have much time.

Ellen recalls a creepy family.

Just take out the long-distance communication paper.

Changed the sender to Leo.

The only family that didn’t abuse Elin during her childhood.

My older brother was someone I resented for leaving me alone, but now he was just a prickly stranger.

There was never a time when I would speak first.

Since the situation was urgent, I wrote it down right away.

Not long after.

Swish.

The letters that had appeared on the long-distance communication paper were erased.

Ellen was aware of this phenomenon.

“… I hung up.”

The other party disconnected.

No matter how dry Leo is, he is not the type of person to just cut off contact.

There was only one possibility.

“Teacher… … !”

I was just convinced of that.

Luke is with the secret task force.

“If it’s the northern outskirts, can I just go up from the Glaze Estate?”

“Yes? Yes. But it’s really cold, so you need to prepare well… .”

“Thanks for the advice, and I’m sorry.”

Exactly.

Ellen waved her hand away.

A portal opened in the air and swallowed Aurora and Zero.

“… … ”

I blinked and it was down.

Aurora realized it all at once.

You’re about to head to the northern outskirts right now!

Woof-!

Elin’s airship took off, vibrating the surrounding air.

Aurora shouted urgently.

“Princess! You have to go back the way you came in!”

I was worried that the Holy Nation’s barrier would be broken again.

“Whew… .”

Fortunately, the airship disappeared without causing any further damage.

It was a sudden departure as much as it was a sudden visit.

“I… My Lady. What is going on…?”

A short period of time, about an hour.

What the hell just happened.

The priests, dumbfounded, approached Aurora.

“It’s a bit long to tell you now.”

“Can you explain it briefly?”

“Princess Elin Bertain entered the Holy Land to find a tutor, and the barrier was broken.”

“… … Please make it a little longer… .”

It feels like something I said earlier.

Aurora thought about it and smiled as if she was troubled.

“Please wait a moment. First, we need to restore the barrier.”

* * * * *

Northern Outskirts, Luke’s Tower.

Luke, who barely managed to escape to Aurora, almost fainted.

“Luke.”

“Yes?”

“Look at this.”

It was because Elin contacted Leo through his long-distance communication paper.

“!!”

I was so shocked that I snatched Leo’s long-distance communication paper and cut off the connection.

How on earth do you not know?

Did Aurora contact Elin in the meantime?

I had to steal Aurora’s long-distance communication paper before she escaped…!

“Are you okay?”

“No.”

“Yeah, you don’t look okay. Your face is pale.”

“The princess might come here.”

“Well.”

Leo crossed his arms.

“The location cannot be determined based solely on the clue that he is with the secret task force.”

“That’s right.”

That’s right.

but.

“Your Highness is the one who will search the entire North to find me.”

Elin’s abilities should not be overlooked.

Mana is infinite.

The realm of spatial magic has already surpassed Luke.

If you’re Elin, you can travel through the portal and wander around the North until you find Luke.

Of course, Luke would never have imagined that he would build an airship.

“… … ”

Leo looked at Luke with a look that said, ‘Did the guy who knew that run away?’

Luke, oblivious, spoke to the secret service.

“Let’s move again. If you catch me now, I can’t lend you my spatial magic anymore.”

Luke, who borrowed the map from Leo, pointed to the last unfilled section.

“If the Duke remains in the North, he will definitely be here.”

Elin must find the Duke first before she can find Luke.

“Arm yourself. Prepare for battle.”

Will Luke find the Duke first?

Will Ellen catch Luke first?

The time attack has begun.
