I Don't Know

Weena Rhyn said she was going to do something and left. To be honest, I was not sure if it was safe to leave her alone, but evacuating the students was also an important task.

Fran then went over to the students, it seemed that they had already made preparations to evacuate. They abandoned the tents and everyone was carrying only food and other supplies.

Fran-dono, whats going on?

It was Inez, one of the combat instructors, who spoke on their behalf.

She was well respected by both teachers and students, and I guess this time she had become the leader of the whole group.

A huge magic beast appeared in the lake

A magic beast?

Nn

Frans explanation was met with a puzzled look not only from Inez but also from the other instructors and students.

Hasnt the Director dealt with the situation?

Yes, she has

Eh? Do we still need to evacuate then?

Aah, I see.

Weena Rhyn was like an absolute existence to the people from the Academy. I guess they couldnt understand why they still had to evacuate when Weena Rhyn had made a move.

They must have thought that she could defeat the slightly stronger magic beast without causing any damage to the surroundings.

The magic beast this time was really strong. Even Weena Rhyn said that she was unsure what would happen

F-for real!?

Doesnt that mean, its already certain that it is a magic beast with a threat level of A or higher?

Nn, thats why we need to hurry and evacuate everyone

Understood!

After Fran, the strongest among them explained the situation, they all seemed to understand the severity of the danger.

Weena Rhyn was said to be capable of single-handedly fighting against an entire country, but that Weena Rhyn was unsure if she could handle this great magic beast.

And if Weena Rhyn were to seriously confront the great magic beast, the damage to the surrounding area would be enormous.

Did she say anything about the route we should take?

No. Ill leave this to Inez

Understood

Then the students of the academy began their march to leave the campsite. Similarly, we could see the line of residents fleeing the town.

It seemed that the information had been pa.s.sed from the Adventurers Guild to the town chief.

The refugees were thinking the same thing, to get as far away from the lake as possible. There were many people crowded together on the road heading east.

We went along the road with the students of the academy. But then I realized something.

I dont see Romio and Zelos Reed around

(Certainly)

Are they in the back? Urus.h.i.+?

(Woof)

Even Urus.h.i.+s nose didnt seem to be able to tell where Romio and Zelos Reed were. In other words, I guess they were not among these refugees.

Where did they go?

I wonder are they all right

Hmm

We were actually more worried about Romio than Zelos Reed.

But as Fran started to frown, Charon spoke to her.

Whats wrong?

Romio, do you know where he is?

Romio? Oh, that cute little kid that the Director brought?

Nn

Eh? Hes not with us? Thats a big problem then!?

The students around her nodded in agreement with Charons exclamation.

I mean, the magic beast this time was an opponent that even the Director has to fight seriously, right?

But we may not have enough time to find them now, you know?

This is bad

I didnt know if I would think of the students as kind or lacking a sense of urgency, as they were still able to worry about them even at a time like this.

However, Fran seemed to have a good opinion of them. I guess it was because she shared the same sentiment.

Fran, Weena Rhyn only ordered us to take care of them until they had escaped, right?

(Nn)

And weve already made it out of town

(Aah, I see)

Realizing that loophole, Fran then rushed to Inez, who was walking in the lead.

Inez

Yes! Do you need anything?

Can you handle it from here on out without me?

Yes! Thats not a problem!

In response to Frans question, Inez nodded in agreement.

Now there were also the Adventurers escorting people from the town among them, so the escort force was more sufficient than I had imagined. As Inez said, even if Fran were to leave, there would be no problems.

Besides Its not only the students we should protect, but that kid as well. We shouldnt just turn a blind eye and leave him there

Apparently, the instructors regretted not checking for Romios absence when they left. But it couldnt be helped. On the way from the academy to Lake Vivian, Romio and Zelos Reed were under Weena Rhyns care.

Even after arriving at the lake, there was little to no contact between them and the instructors. So, it was asking too much to expect them to remember their presence during the evacuation.

However, it seemed that they had their pride as instructors.

We leave it to you! Fran-dono!

Fran-san. Well be counting on you. Please help that kid

Actually, it was soothing for me to see him

Yeah. Youre right

I hope hes okay

Okay. Im going to go help Romio

So, we headed back to Sheftent, with many instructors and students watching us as we headed there.

Urus.h.i.+, you find Romios scent. Fran, focus on your detection

Woof!

Nn. Okay

There was still no sign of Weena Rhyn doing anything yet. I didnt know what she planned to do, but we needed to find Romio before the large-scale battle broke out.

Moreover, we had one more thing on our minds.

Sierra told us before, that Weena Rhyn in that timeline used Romios power without caring that he was in mortal danger

Could it be, Weena Rhyn was going to do the same thing?

Ill ask her if theres another way

But what if she says theres no other way?

I dont know
