Well, no matter how much we complained, there was nothing I could do .
We first needed to figure out what were we going to do about that floating fortress .
But at the moment not a single soul in this open space would listen to a word I said .
“Hey, Lucia . Teleport magic can still be used at Rin-san’s falcons’ starting place, right?”
“Right . We can use this falcon to ask Rin-san to do it . ”
A falcon that was perched on top of the water tower as though as if it had been there all along came down and perched on Lucia’s raised arm .
Rin-san’s familiar nodded a couple of times .
“Everyone, we’ll be making preparations to evacuate you to the land of the citizens of light . ”
The falcon spoke .
Shiki-san and the others were staring at us with a blank expression on their faces .
Right . There was that language issue .
I then used ‘Many Tongues’ on the falcon .
Rin-san understood the first time the falcon spoke, but it still repeats itself .
Shiki-san stared at me and we exchanged glances .
“We’ll only evacuate the people in this gym . ”
Then, I continued:
“Of course, we won’t be taking those guys that are outside along with us . ”
I can’t imagine a scenario where those guys would want to quarrel with the citizens of light .
So I think it’s best if I stayed behind and bait the monsters here .
Shiki-san did not seem to disagree .
In general, ordinary people would disagree with someone strangling another person to death with their own hands .
But on the other hand, their hearts would normally not be in so much pain knowing that countless people starve to death every day .
And this is especially true for savage and cruel men with not a single shred of morality .
That’s not the problem, though…
I looked at Mia .
Her face seemed to be lacking any expression .
Right, if we do that, Yuki-senpai and the others would abandon us .
The guys at the High School Section would not be able to help us .
Mia’s brother and the others would be abandoned to their own fate .
As usual, there was little change in Mia’s facial expression .
Still, I could not see anything but her face, and she looked like she would burst into tears at any second .
Nevertheless, neither Shiki-san nor myself could allow ourselves to reach a decision about the matter then and there .
The enemy was getting closer and closer .
Every minute, every second was crucial .
I clenched my fist tight and turned to Shiki-san…
“Kazu-kun, how long would it take five people to fly all the way to the High School Section?”
Shiki-san suddenly spoke .
Huh?
Oh, I see .
“It shouldn’t take more than five minutes… I think . And if you fly while under the effects of ‘Greater Invisibility’, you should be able to fly safely without attracting any unwanted attention . ”
“I see . Oh, that’s great then . ”
