Emile led me to leap high up, against the rain curtain onto the wall, then lent slightly on it and tumbled into the forest outside the city.

"Cough cough ...... cough cough--"

The violent jump and fear of heights made me cough violently.

The dense branches of the trees were accompanied by a damp rain mist that emanated a chill around us, but fortunately Emile's unknown magic insulated the rain from getting wet.

Emile pulled me to stand on a larger branch, patting my back gently while looking towards the edge of the city wall.

Tassili used some method to fall steadily from the city wall. He groped something along the walls and eventually stopped at a wall, a dozen meters away from this forest.

"What is he ...... doing here?"

I asked Emile in a soft voice.

"Mmm!?"

Tassili suddenly glanced in our direction.

"Aluerturogey," Emile pursed her lips, "the silent field of sound."

A pitch-black aura, still clearly visible in this cloudy weather, was released from Emile's side and enveloped our entire body.

"So close so close ......" I rubbed my chest, "Can you even hear this? The rain is so loud."

"Well, strange. This guy is so weird. ......"

Emile bit her finger and kept a close eye on him.

Tassili walked towards us and returned to the wall again after exploring in vain, then stretched out his delicate white fingers under his robe that even women should be jealous .

He looked around again uneasily.

Emile and I subconsciously held our breath.

"Phew ......"

He took a soft breath and gently removed a finger ring from his right hand.

-- The ring gradually emitted light as it was removed --

and eventually enveloped his body.

-- The light glowed

......

"Eh!?"

Looking at his gradually dimmed down figure, I couldn't help but exclaim.

Emile covered my lips and looked at him steadily.

The beautiful and smooth dark green hair elegantly tied in the ear into a strand, slid down from Tassili's right eye, swept through her deep collarbone flowing to the back, her slender waist with a soft and seductive curve, showing off her youthful beauty, her plump body even if wrapped in that wide robe is also vaguely visible.

The noble and graceful temperament is visible even in this pouring rain.

"...... Emile, look at that ......"

I pointed to the side of her cheek not covered by her hair.

Emile narrowed her eyes and nodded.

"-Elf."

---------- ---------- --

Tassili took off her ring and then poked her hand up to the walls and began carving a magical pattern.

"What's she carving?"

"I don't know," Emile shook her head, "she covered the place up so tightly that couldn't see anything, but ......"

"But? "

Emile pressed her body down, trying to read her handwriting.

"Do you remember what happened when we just got to Elisis?"

"...... was invited to drink tea by a group of guards."

"Then why did they take us there?"

"Because you took down their wall."

"......"

Emile withdrew her eyes and looked at me speechlessly.

"Eh? No?"

"You really think I can tear down a wall with a casual force ......" Emile helplessly held her forehead, "Think carefully about what the guards said after that."

"...... after ......"

Just as I was trying to remember the scene, a loud shout that broke the rain screen reached our ears.

"--Stop!"

"Back row! Positioning! Put locating magic! We definitely can't let him get away this time!"

That's right! The words that the guards said!

-- The ones who have been destroying the walls for the past few days are you guys, right? --
