Episode 1209
In the long, winding alleys of The City, a market was formed, crowded with people setting up tents or mats.
Simone, Lethe, and Alaje started shopping here.
Simon and Lete used the money they earned from selling eggs to buy emergency food, clean water, and masks and bandanas that are often used in this world.
Alaze also walked around transformed into a goblin with a face similar to Simon’s, buying up whatever resources he could find in the area. After obtaining some materials, he entered the space on his own, saying that he would immediately begin research. He felt like he could expect good news.
Now the last thing to buy is clothes.
“Sahakri! like! like! Paratheti!”
Simon and Lethe were coming out of the clothing store, leaving behind the shouts of the fish-head merchant. Lethe tried to argue with him, asking if he had just sworn at her, but Simon, who was disgusted, almost hugged Lethe and took her out.
“I guess they’re angry because we cut the price so much.”
Simon said, putting on the long jacket he had just purchased. Lethe snorted in amusement.
“It’s a blessing to be self-employed. “They first noticed that you were an outsider and tried to rip you off.”
She took out her pocket and counted the remaining lumps of pitch-black coal, the currency of this place.
“Now our living expenses are tight. It may only be a moment on the continent, but we may be here for days or months. “We need to find a safe hiding place and a place to summon our companions inside the castle walls.”
Simon smiled and nodded.
‘That’s economical.’
Although Lethe was an enviable active saint, she had a strong sense of life, perhaps because she spent her childhood in a poor monastery. She carefully stuffed the rest of her money into her pocket and walked lightly, humming to herself.
What should I say?
I thought this was a guy who could survive anywhere.
“why?”
With her white hair flying, Lethe turned around and asked.
“never mind.”
“Oh, what again? “What strange thoughts did you have?”
Lethe pursed her lips and spoke in a loud voice, but Simon quickly laughed it off and changed the subject.
“I was thinking about what to buy next.”
“ah! Next, let’s get a map first!”
Lethe’s eyes sparkled as if it was the topic she wanted.
“We must have complete knowledge of the geography of this place before reinforcements arrive through the portal! We also need information such as the location of Hieromir, the shortest route to there, the size of the military facility, the weapons of this world’s soldiers, and means of attack. And again… … .”
As she was folding her fingers and chattering away, Simon suddenly stopped walking. She strode ahead on her own and came back with a sulky expression on her face.
“Are you concentrating?”
“Lethe.”
Simon, whose face was white, pointed forward with a trembling hand.
There was a large bulletin board installed on the wall of the market.
“Look over there.”
Lete’s eyes were filled with astonishment when she saw the wanted sign posted in the middle of the bulletin board.
The image of a woman depicted in a painting instead of a photograph.
With his youthful face, cute protruding fangs, hair falling over his shoulders and bat wings on his back, he was clearly someone Simon knew very well.
“Kah, Mr. Kami? Why is this person here… … !”
“Look next to it too.”
It wasn’t just Camivarez.
The picture next to it was definitely a wanted letter for Jules Vincere and Arendia. There was a fairly large amount of money on the line: 150,000 Pyrona, five times the amount that Lethe earned from selling eggs.
And the two wanted letters next to them were torn in half with a red stamp on them. Simon took the torn piece that had fallen on the floor and glued it to it.
The faces of the representatives of the Holy Federation, Holy Sword User Sigmund, and Inquisitor of Pain Wotton appeared. It looks like these two have already been caught.
“… … Why are these people on The City’s wanted list?”
“I guess-”
Simon closed his eyes.
“I guess they came to this world because they got caught up in the Banish like us.”
“That’s impossible.”
Lethe immediately shook her head.
“This mission was a solo operation between the two of us! To begin with, there was no one in the lake forest except the two of us, and if Banish was detected, the remaining people would be automatically teleported immediately to a safe place on the continent… … .”
Simon had an idea.
“Lethe, your teleportation stopped at the end too. I remember?”
“ah.”
Immediately after Lethe was eliminated from the Rune League, her body turned blue and began teleporting, but the movement itself suddenly stopped.
“I think something is wrong with the teleportation center. “The remaining five people’s emergency teleportation may not have been activated, or they may have been caught up in Banish while it was being activated.”
“The latter seems plausible. “Because those five people weren’t in the lake forest like us.”
There were many other causes worth considering.
Simon used ‘Vortex’, and Lethe used ‘Divine Big Bang’.
A clash between the spatial world and the spatial world.
As the two forces collided and absorbed each other, space was shaken, and if another space transfer device, ‘Banish’, had been used at that time, space and time may have become somewhat distorted.
Of course, since the spatial world was still an unknown territory on the continent, nothing could be guaranteed. Lethe opened her mouth, sucking on her lower lip.
“A new variable has emerged. We must quickly find Mr. Kami, Mr. Juul, and the Arendia sisters and incorporate them into our forces. “We also need to rescue the captured Brother Sigmund and Inquisitor Warton.”
Simon closed his eyes.
“It is possible that those two have already lost their memories or defected.”
“… … no way.”
Lethe said, ‘No way,’ but couldn’t deny it any further than that.
-Pakretula! like! like! Paparote!
But a little later, a piercing voice, characteristic of the fish merchant from earlier, was heard. Lethe, who was already in a mixed mood, made an impression on her.
“Why is that fish head again…” … !”

However, the people the fish merchant was talking to were ‘searchers’ who could be considered the police of The City.
A fish vendor was explaining something to them wearing full-body diving suits and masks and pointing at Simon and Lete.
The searchers also followed the direction pointed by the fish vendor and looked at the two people.
‘ruined.’
The corners of Simon’s mouth trembled. He may have looked suspicious because he was so wanted and had been standing in front of him for so long.
Eventually, armed searchers came this way with weapons in their hands.
“Peto. Aminini Attila.”
“There you two. “Please present your citizenship card.”
Two seekers approached, speaking in different languages. Simon and Lethe looked at each other.
“What should I do? Shall we fight?”
“There are a lot of eyes looking around. First of all, I think-”
Simon said, immediately turning away.
“It’s best to run away!”
Simon and Lethe suddenly started running. The searchers who saw this also chased after him with objects that made loud noises like whistles in their mouths.
-Beep!
-Beep!
Apparently, there were only two searchers at first, but the sound of footsteps echoed from all over, perhaps because their colleagues were around as well.
The situation was unusual.
“Lethe! “Let’s speed up and beat them!”
“all right!”
Simon and Lethe gathered jet black and divinity into their legs at the same time, then kicked off the ground and rose high into the sky. Soon he reached the roof of the building and continued running.
-Suspicious guys run away!
The searchers who were chasing them activated the power of the spears in their hands. Kiiing! With an unusual sound, the tip of the spear turned purple, and he threw it.
Aaaaeaaaeak!
Spears flew out with a threatening sound. Simon twisted his body to avoid him, and Lethe ducked her head to avoid him.
As the windows that passed the two men crashed into the walls of the factory, the strong walls melted and softened like melted chocolate.
“It just worked out well. A survey of power in this world.”
Lethe said while looking at that figure.
“I think I can block it with defensive magic, but it will hurt if it touches my bare skin.”
“Lethe! Come again from the side!”
Weeing weeing!
Searchers appeared on what looked like a ‘board’ with a flight function. Purple flames, the same color as the tip of the spear, were shooting out like a booster from the wide board.
Whoa!
The searchers began their offensive. They threw spears and nets with purple sparks, but Simon and Lete managed to avoid them and escaped through the city’s tangled pipes.
Then.
“ah!”
I’ve reached too high a place.
Before I knew it, the cliff had fallen in front and the small buildings of the city were visible. Behind them, searchers were flocking in this direction as if surrounding them.
Lethe clenched and unclenched her fists as if she was itching.
“Knocking it down at that level is no problem.”
“We’ll be in trouble if we reveal our power, Lethe.”
Simon took a deep breath and continued speaking.
“They still think we’re suspicious, and they don’t know our identities. If we take down the seekers ourselves, a report will be sent to the higher-ups. “I don’t want Hieromir to find out that we’re already in The City.”
“Then what?”
Simon suddenly wrapped his arms around Lethe’s waist. She looked at Simon with a startled look on her face.
“Hold on tight!”
<Cloud>
Simon extended a flash of turquoise light and wrapped it around the end of a nearby pipe. Without saying a word, Lethe clung to Simon and hugged his head with both arms, while Simon jumped off the cliff and stretched out his legs in front of him.
Whiiiiiiiing!
The two bodies fly past the cliff in an instant.
Mobility using the cloud. Although it has rarely been used recently, it is a mobile device that was frequently used in lower grades. Simon moved through the air as if on a swing, repeatedly attaching and detaching the cloud to walls or pipes high in the air.
The searchers, surprised by the incredible speed, threw purple spears at them, but Simon and Lete narrowly avoided them.
“Lethe! “Can we make a foothold in the air?”
“I’ll try!”
Simon let go of the cloud and kicked the pipe with both feet, then straightened his bent knees and flew up with all his might. After that, purple windows rush out and hit the wall! puck! bump into
Lethe immediately concentrated her mana and spread a platform in the air, and Simon flew up on top of it and leaped once more.
He soon shoots a cloud from his fingertips, attaches it to the wall of the next building, and tries to fly towards it.
Aaaaeaaaeak!
A purple spear flew between the two at lightning speed. Simone and Lethe made eye contact, nodded, and then pushed each other to the side.
The purple spear flew through the air between the two people who had retreated, Simon looked at Cloud, and Lethe stretched out the platform and jumped up, entering the dense forest of buildings again.
As Simon speeds up, the surrounding scenery quickly moves away.
“It’s over there!”
“Catch it!”
The sentinel reinforcements were already waiting here and were following along tenaciously. Searchers on boards flying in the sky chased after them, accompanied by whirring warning sounds from all over the place.
The residents of The City who heard the alarm were watching Simon run away, wondering if this scene was familiar to them.
‘It’s okay now, but it’ll be difficult if the situation escalates further.’
Simon’s mind became confused. It was not easy to shake off the searchers who were fast in mobility and had a superior understanding of geography.
“Gotcha!”
Sigh!
A seeker on a board followed closely behind Simon and carried something that looked like a mortar on his shoulder. Accompanied by a harsh firing sound, something that looked like a crude missile with purple energy fluttered and sprayed smoke.
Toukwaaagh!
Toukwaak!
However, a similar missile was coming not from behind but from in front.
‘huh?’
Simon, who was about to use a defensive spell, noticed that the trajectory of the missile flying in front of him was strange. The missile in front was not aimed at him. Simon boldly moved forward in the darkness.
Fuuuuuuu!
Fuuuuuuuuuuck!
The missile that flew in front shot down the missiles of the searchers that flew in from behind.
‘Could it be that you helped me?’
“This way!”
Sigh!
Just like the sentinels, a woman on a flying board waved her hands and waved her pigtails.
She also carried a mortar on her shoulder and fired missiles at precise angles, shooting down searchers one after another.
The workmanship was quite good.
“It’s a revolutionary army!”
“As expected, they were part of those guys!”
The woman narrowed her eyes at Simon, dropped the empty mortar on the floor, and used the power of her legs to blow up the metal board she was riding on, hitting the seeker in the face.
That wasn’t all.
“We are there too!”
Windows on the left and right sides of the house where the chase was taking place burst open, and people who appeared to be her colleagues threw nets or, with their upper bodies sticking out of the windows, hit the searcher on the head with a frying pan.
Yay!
Whi profit!
The residents who were watching gave joyful cheers. Simon, who was running along the pipe, looked around him with a puzzled look on his face.
She jumped in front of Simon and ran, blowing up a balloon loudly from her mouth and popping it with a loud popping sound.
“Hi-Hi! I am Davina from the Revolutionary Army. “Are you Simon Pollentia?”
Simon pointed to himself with a surprised look in his eyes.
“Do you know me?”
“of course! “Don’t worry, our group is escorting the woman who ran away with you.”
Grumble!
At that time, another window opened, and a man presumed to be a revolutionary threw two boards. Davina said, holding one of them out to Simon.
“Can you ride?”
She said, getting on the board as if to demonstrate.
Simon also showed his teeth and got on the board.
“of course.”
Actually, I really wanted to ride it.
“There’s an operating lever in the back that turns the engine on! “Keep your balance straight!”
Less evil!
She stood with both feet on the board, pulled the lever, and demonstrated moving forward.
“like this!”
Simon immediately put his foot on the board and pulled the lever.
Hwaaaaaaa!
The speed was faster than expected. The board is cool! Simon, who lost his balance as he was launched out with a sound, stumbled once. But I quickly got used to it and got back on the board and straightened up.
“nice! you are good!”
She gave a thumbs up. * * *
Awesome!
The two people on the board flew away quickly. Immediately behind them, six seekers on boards were pursuing them persistently.
Davina pointed to the place where the factory smoke was spewing out, and Simon also nodded.
“They are going to the smoke zone!”
“Catch me before that happens!”
The guards threw spears emitting purple light, but there was no way they could hit Simon and Davina. Soon, the two people entered the smoke above the factory chimney, unable to see an inch in front of them.
“Chase!”
Awesome!
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
The searchers all flew after the board.
and.
“ha!”
“Whoop!”
Simone and Davina had already jumped off the board and were right behind the pipe in the smoke. The sound of the searchers’ alarms could be heard getting further and further away.
“Follow me. “I will guide you to a safe place.”
She suggested with a smile. Simon looked at her with wary eyes.
“Thank you for your help, but why do you guys know my name?”
“huh? Because I heard it. “Your colleagues who came from the ‘continent’ first are waiting for you.”
Simon’s eyes widened when he heard those words.
‘… … I know about the continent. And the colleague who came first?’
