Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

Millenia and Josephine had been abducted by transfer magic. The executioner--

Looks like it went well.

"It's a backup plan in case of failure." Failure is troublesome. "

"Damn... my body still hurts..."

-- A group of 3 adventurers. Those who had attacked the academy before were defeated by Teresa.

When they came to the Academy the other day, they set up magic traps all over the Academy. It was a transfer trap commonly seen in labyrinths. However, it wasn't a normal trap, it was a little customized.

In the case of a normal transfer trap, the adventurers modified the transfer so that it would be triggered when Josephine approached. Put it all over the Academy, and if Josephine stepped through any one of them, she'd be the only one who could transfer her.

In general, the magic trap modification was said to be super advanced. They were undoubtedly geniuses who would do it without difficulty.

That must be true. They are S-class adventurers. Moreover, it was not the Grand Duchy of Restophen, but an adventurer party of the highest peaks of the Emrinza Empire, a country with dozens of times as many adventurers.

They were on the edge of a vast forest that stretched around the Academy. In the hideout there. I happened to have a hideout on the edge of the woods, where I waited for Josephine to fall into a trap, waiting for one of my paralyzed companions to recover.

Their base was equipped with a simple cell in which Josephine appeared. Josephine, who was in the cage, seemed stunned as she looked around without knowing what had happened. I was walking in the hallway of the college, and suddenly the view changed and I was in the cage, so I could say that it was a natural reaction.

Beside her was a millenia with the look of a bean cannon. She was also involved in the kidnapping of Josephine. When I left the corridor to go to the waltzes, Josephine called out to me and asked me where the waltzes were, and I was out of luck. Too abrupt an unfoldment seemed like a small animal to be frightened. Not to mention the temperament of the chairman, she is still a child. Since only strangers were nearby, it was only natural for me to get nervous.

While the adventurers were relieved that they had successfully captured Josephine, they tongued that they had captured an extra student. For their part, they didn't want to touch the students, they just wanted to catch Josephine. A serious act as an adventurer, such as hanging a child at the end of the year. When Josephine was captured, it was a request that there should be some dead people, but their style was not acceptable.

Therefore, one of the adventurers cries out into the cage.

"I'm sorry. My daughter (...) (...) I only need you there, Grand Duke Josephine, so if you're quiet, I'll let you go."

On the other hand, Millenia opened her eyes to the adventurer's words. I didn't think the woman who was transferred together was Grand Duke Josephine. Until now, Millenia had only thought of Josephine as a visitor from outside the college who had accidentally called out to her. Josephine's presence in her everyday clothes also seemed to have had an impact.

"(Whoa, whoa... this is Josephine?!)"

Millenia's head turned pure white. I instantly understood why I was captured, why I was here, and what would happen to Josephine. She was told by her grandmother, Magnea, that there was a conflict in the capital, that Josephine was involved in it, or that the adventurers might come to kill Josephine. The prediction she had in mind was by no means a bright one... It seemed to be a black future close to black.

It's just... there's only one thing she can't imagine. It's too big an oversight. So is Josephine. It was out of the question for the adventurers.

Is that true?

A voice that seemed not to believe in the adventurers at all flew from behind Millenia. Neither a girl's nor a boy's intersex voice.

Surprised by the sudden voice, Millenia turned around, and an unfamiliar student dressed in familiar student clothes was there. The gender is still unknown, even for the purpose of seeing it. Although it looked more like a girl, the clothes she was wearing belonged to a boy student, so Millenia assumes that "he" is a boy student.

In front of her, the boy said.

”Perhaps after killing Lord Josephine, you'll put your hands on us too? At a time when you're kidnapping women who can't resist the bustle, your remarks are not as convincing. It's the scraps of an adventurer."

Millenia panicked in front of the inflammatory boy. For her part, she wanted to find a gap and escape, but because of the boy's incitement, she almost lost the chance.

Therefore she hurriedly tried to stop the boy, but it was already too late. Perhaps one of the adventurers had kicked in, and turned his staff over to the boy student.

And immediately thereafter--,

ZUDOOOOO!!

The inside of the cell was enveloped in light and heat.
