And everyone is well aware of what they are worried about.

The door was opened, but what poured out from inside caused everyone to quickly raise their hands to block their view.

It was a gust of wind carrying endless sand and dust.

"Ugh——!"

"this…"

The two girls, Kudo Asuka and Kasukabe Yo, who were of average physical stature, were most affected and quickly used both hands to shield themselves.

Fortunately, Hatsune Miku quickly transformed her mental energy into a barrier, which helped shield the two girls from the further onslaught of sand.

However, Accelerator, Kakine Teitoku, and Sakamaki Izayoi remained completely unmoved.

They stood in the howling wind, squinting as they looked back and forth at the scene behind the door.

--ruins.

Through the ground, one can vaguely see that the ground used to resemble white ceramic tiles, but now it is covered with black dust that cannot be cleaned off and extremely decayed ash.

The vines intertwined along the edge of the wall, but these intertwined vines had all withered and died, and even turned a purplish-black color like rotting fruit, along with the wall.

The ground is perpetually covered by sand and soil. The pools that were once used as decorations are still there, but they have become like the weathered landscape of a tomb.

This is the full picture of the community.

This is 'NoName'.

"...Three years ago."

Ren walked on the road surface, where the original patterns were no longer visible and even the dust could not be cleaned off, and lowered his head heavily.

"A calamity known as the Demon King struck our community, and from that day on, our community... has remained in this state ever since."

Devil.

That's precisely why Black Rabbit summoned Izayoi Sakamaki and the others. In fact, just as the various factions have said, three years ago, Black Rabbit's community was actually the most powerful in the entire Eastern District.

Everything changed after the Demon King's attack.

Demon Kings, whose identities and races are unknown, are characterized by overwhelming power, enough to crush all hope and even force other communities to play games with them, possessing overwhelming authority as the organizers.

Those who possess such strength are not doing these things for any specific purpose.

The reason they attacked Black Rabbit's community.

I'm afraid it was just something they did for fun.

…It was this very matter that completely transformed their community into 'NoName'.

"Three years ago...?"

Accelerator and Kakine Teitoku each looked around.

The first person picked up a stone, while Kakine Teitoku touched the edge of the nearby pool with his hand.

That alone was enough for the two of them to definitively confirm the date.

"It was indeed caused three years ago, and all of this happened in an instant."

"Ha...that's really strange."

To this, Izayoi Sakamaki gave a wry smile, as if joking.

"From a purely visual perspective, it would take at least two hundred years to achieve such severe weathering."

"But if it's the Demon King... he can accomplish such an exaggerated thing in an instant."

Black Rabbit responded to Izayoi Sakamaki with a somber tone.

Kudo Asuka and Kasukabe Yo, who witnessed everything, fell completely silent.

The two girls' previously excessive self-awareness and charisma were completely and utterly abandoned.

Upon witnessing the tragedy left behind by the Demon King, the two girls' feelings became incredibly heavy.

"I said."

However, compared to the overwhelmingly somber atmosphere among the crowd, Accelerator noticed other things instead.

"What are these lands used for?"

"Ah... this place was originally used to grow vegetables and all kinds of spirit trees."

Following Accelerator's gaze, Black Rabbit's eyes fell into a gloomy expression once again.

"But similarly, due to the Demon King's influence, this land has completely lost its vitality."

"Even if we move to new land, it still won't work?"

"Yes, because it is the power of the Demon King that is causing this. If we don't eliminate this power directly, then even if we replace this place with the highest-grade land, it will be meaningless."

Accelerator and Hatsune Miku exchanged a glance, then looked at Kakine Teitoku not far away.

"...Take us to see the rest of the area."

"what?"

"Huh? What the heck? You're saying that all the facilities and land here lost their original function because of the Demon King's power?"

"That's true, but... but we've tried everything, and no matter how hard we've tried over the past few years, we haven't been able to—"

"Cut the nonsense."

Accelerator merely clicked his tongue in response to Black Rabbit's statement.

The first person responded with concise and to-the-point words, without any hesitation.

"Lead the way for me. Show me all the areas that the Demon King has destroyed, understand?"

Chapter 766 Is it an older brother or an older sister?

As instructed by Accelerator, the group was quickly led into a more intimate space within the community.

It appears to be a reservoir or similar place with a large pool and canals.

"It's so messy..."

The girls who loved cleanliness were the first to speak up after seeing this scene.

Whether it was the channels used to release water or the reservoirs used to collect water, everything was a color and level of filth that was even more unbelievable than dust.

Even places used for drinking water have been eroded by the Demon King's attacks.

"This is it. This is the Water Gate that belongs to our community, and then here..."

"It's a channel used for releasing water, isn't it?"

"Yes, but... because of the Demon King's attack, both the waterways and the places used to collect water have been deeply affected."

"Although these structures are still well-preserved, many places have been invaded by sand and soil, and three years of drought have caused many cracks. Moreover, the device originally used to create water droplets out of thin air was taken away by the demon king who attacked us..."

"The gift I brought should be enough, right? Didn't you say it's something that can keep gushing out water?"

"Yes, that's precisely why Mizuki is such a precious gift. We really have to thank Mr. Izayoi for bringing such a beneficial thing to our community...!"

"Alright, alright, no need for such polite words. Besides, I didn't challenge that giant serpent on your behalf, understand?"

Accelerator and Kakine Teitoku approached the edge of the waterway together.

"If we had this sapling, we could solve the water problem directly."

"This... can't actually be completely solved."

"Does that mean your community has an even larger reservoir than this?"

"Because the water structures created by the original community are still in perfect condition, the water output of just one water sapling is not enough to fill them all. Moreover, the waterways in other places cannot be cleaned up in a short time. So now we can only connect them to the main building and the annex."

"It makes no difference, just put it down."

Accelerator walked directly along the road to the back of the reservoir and opened the water gate.

Kakine Teitoku, on the other hand, walked to the side, seemingly intending to do something.

Black Rabbit nodded and planted the water tree saplings directly into the reservoir in front of him.

——Wow!

The moment the sapling packaging was opened, an endless spring of water gushed out directly from beneath the sapling.

"Whoa!"

"There are so many...!"

The rushing water instantly covered all the waterways in front of them and poured into the huge pools on both sides with an even stronger momentum.

The sludge and other debris that were originally connected to the waterway were all instantly destroyed by the impact of the massive water flow.

Gradually, the inside of the pool began to become clear and transparent.

While it's impossible to clean all the pools in a short time, at least this way there's drinking water available for daily use.

Moreover, even this alone is not enough to fill all the pools and waterways within the community.

"So much water couldn't fill it up, it seems... your community was really prosperous before."

"Well, after all, our community used to be the largest, or even the strongest, in the entire Eastern District."

Black Rabbit's expression seemed to instantly turn proud.

Seeing this, Kakine Teitoku and Accelerator nodded in agreement.

"Then that's about right, we should do it that way."

"Instructions received."

BOOM—! BOOM! BOOM!

Immediately afterwards, the clear spring water that had been continuously flowing into the pool all swirled up into the air like a waterfall.

"Varied--?!"

Kudo Asuka and Kasukabe Yo were immediately startled.

The same applies to the black rabbit.

"What happened...?!"

Then she noticed that Accelerator, who was standing behind the reservoir, was slowly raising his right hand.

Even though it didn't touch the water with its limbs, it still easily swirled up all the water from a distance.

"Accelerator... sir? What, what are you doing?!"

"It's alright, Black Rabbit."

Black Rabbit seemed to have misunderstood something. Realizing this, Hatsune Miku simply smiled calmly at her.

"Itaru and Kakine are not going to do anything dangerous."

"Eh?"

"You're right, just watch, Black Rabbit."

Even Izayoi Sakamaki could see the situation before her.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the spring water that Accelerator had conjured up out of thin air did not sever its connection with the Water Tree.

The water streams extending from the water tree act like pipes, directly connecting to the water in mid-air.

As Accelerator was doing this, another figure flew into the air.

Imperial Governor Kakine.

He raised his hand, and instantly a pair of enormous, towering objects appeared behind him.

They are pure white wings.

Like an angel, pure and bright, it shone with a brilliance that surpassed even the sun in this dark wasteland.

Followed by.

With Accelerator's action, all the spring water began to spray towards Kakine Teitoku's direction.

But the second person did not choose to dodge.
