Zongman started from grabbing girls with Wuhe Shidao

"Do you think so too?"

"As long as you become an elf, you will naturally become the target of our attack. Is it natural to hide your whereabouts?"

"Who knows. It's very appropriate to think so, but—playing cards not according to the rules is probably why elves are elves." Westcott stood up from the sofa while talking, and walked slowly Go to the window.

Outside the window was a cloudless night sky, with a bright moon sitting alone in the center.

"She might be around watching us," Westcott said jokingly, a smile on his face.

... ...

... ...

At this time, Shidao had already brought the doctor over to help Lin Mu change the hanging bottle, and the anti-fever paste---

The itching of the throat made Lin Mu cough violently again.

Then seeing the doctor leave, Lin Mu said to Shidao: "Shidao, go and buy some food and come back, everyone should be hungry."

"Oh good." Shidou responded quickly, although he seemed to be "running errands", but he had no complaints, after all, the people present were all wounded, serving the wounded or something---this also made Shidou feel that he was at least still There are useful...

As soon as he walked out of the ward and came to the corner of the corridor, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang, Shidou quickly took out the mobile phone --- at this time, he had already guessed who was calling ---

Sure enough, as soon as he answered, Kotori's voice came from the opposite side---

"Shidou?"

"── Kotori! Is it Kotori!" Shidou answered the voice excitedly. After all, Kotori hadn't come back for so long, Shidou was already worried. Now that he received Kotori's call, he was naturally worried. Next loose.

"Ah... great, you are safe and sound. Where are the others?"

"Everyone's fine—maybe it's not like that, but they're alive anyway."

"Really? That's a blessing."

"That's what I want to tell you. Where are you now? Is Fraxinus okay? Because I haven't been able to contact you, I'm worried."

After Shidou finished speaking, Kotori was silent for a while, only a slightly regretful sigh came from her.

"Kinri...?

"Ah──I'm currently in the underground facility belonging to Ratatosk. All the crew members are safe. But... that battle, let's count it as our loss. If it wasn't for Brother Xiaomu, the consequences would be unimaginable..."

"Huh...!" Hearing Kotori's sudden announcement, Shidou involuntarily widened his eyes.

"What... what does this mean?"

"...literally. We were defeated by DEM. The hull damage rate is more than two percent, and it is currently being repaired... However, it is temporarily impossible to use it like before."

"What...!" Shidou choked up his words.He couldn't believe it, it wasn't that he couldn't understand what Kotori said.

However, he couldn't successfully associate the Fraxinus with the word defeat. In his image, Ratatosk was an extremely powerful and absolutely safe air fleet...

But when Kotori told him the truth, after thinking about it calmly, he was not unable to understand it...

Fraxinus is a mighty airship... ...but DEM also has---

The so-called disbelief was nothing more than Shidou arbitrarily thinking that Fraxinus is a place where safety is absolutely guaranteed.

"The hull of Fraxinus is damaged...! However, the performance of Ratatosk's display device is better than DEM..."

"That's the way it is, but... since DEM developed the [Ashcroft. .”

that woman.The moment he heard this word, the appearance of a certain girl appeared in Shidou's mind.Light blonde hair like silk, and blue eyes full of confidence──The strongest wizard Ellen.The face of Mathers.

Hearing Shidou's silence, Kotori thought that he probably knew the inside story.After Qinli sighed, he continued: "Speaking of which, we are the ones who dragged Brother Xiaomu down this time. If we hadn't been exposed to DEM's satellite line of sight, Brother Xiaomu would probably be able to get rid of that woman this time... In short , the matter is over, and it won't help if you keep mentioning it... By the way, where is Brother Xiaomu? Is he awake?"

"Ah, he's awake, but he's very weak and has a high fever—"

"...Really, huh---this operation is really a mess...Forget it, let me tell you what happened to you and Brother Xiaomu before, you suddenly slipped out of the school, and then disappeared."

"Uh..." Hearing Kotori's question, Shidou's eyelids twitched slightly, and then he sighed lightly, briefly explaining what happened a few hours ago.

Imprisoned by Origami, rescued by Kurumi, and what I saw when I ran to the battlefield of the elves──Origami became an elf.

"Tobiichi Origami turned into an elf...!" Kotori's astonished voice sounded from the other end of the phone.

"What's going on here? Has [Phantom] appeared...?"

"I don't know. But---there's only one possibility."

"...How could this happen. Why is it at such a time...!"

Kotori said angrily.However, this is understandable.Because [Phantom] and Kotori have a close relationship...

"So, what about Tobiichi Origami?"

"After Xiaomu flew into the sky, he flew away towards a certain direction... I don't know where to go."

"...Really? I see. We will try to find her whereabouts. Shidou, you should also be mentally prepared."

"Mental preparation?"

"Of course, after all, brother Xiaomu is weak now, if Tobiichi Origami appears, I can only let you play."

"Ah...that's what I said---"

"Well, let's do this first. I have sent agency personnel to pick you up just now, and I think it should be here soon. Follow his instructions later. I will say hello to the hospital first, and you should be ready to go first." .”

"Huh? How do you know we're in the hospital?"

"Nonsense, Brother Xiaomu looked like that after he blocked DEM's space-based weapon---where else could he go if he didn't go to the hospital?"

"You mean space-based weapons?!" Shidou's eyes widened. That kind of thing that sounds like a sci-fi feeling---can people resist it?Shidou once again refreshed his understanding of trees---

"Ah---Ratatosk also has that kind of thing, so don't worry too much about it."

"...cough cough, that's what you said, okay, I get it...but, about leaving the hospital...everyone was injured..."

"Don't worry. Although it's not as good as Fraxinus, there are basically medical visualization devices here. I think the injury will heal faster than lying in the hospital."

"So that's the case, I understand."

"The agency personnel should have arrived at your place. I'll talk about the details later." At this time, the sound of the car's engine came from outside almost at the same time as Kotori said.

Shidou stood up on the spot, looked out the window, and saw several vehicles that were not ambulances parked next to the hospital.It should be the agency personnel that Kotori mentioned.

As a result, Shidou realized that his surroundings had become very dark.The sky was already dark, and there was a bright moon hanging.
