Anomaly
A few days after the chief left
On a windy day, a person jumps into the tent.
"Shiro, the water quality test is finished."
With that said, Yukikaze came back.
"The water on the lake?"
"Yeah, I'm a little concerned."
After saying that, she took out a glass bottle.
There is clear water inside
There was some kind of black sediment in it.
"After separating it in various ways and dissolving it with chemicals, it finally revealed its true identity."
"I won't ask you what you did, because I won't understand it. So you're after the sediment?"
"Yes"
"What is it?"
"It's just sand, albeit a rather fine one."
What does that mean?
"Do you remember the characteristics of mana, or rather, the Almana Quantum?"
"It fuses all substances without altering them, right?"
"Yes, in other words, it can also become a [connection] that can fuse two substances that would normally not mix."
"What is that sand fused with?"
"Carbon dioxide."
"Hmm, is there a problem?"
"Well, it's not a problem unless it's in high concentrations. If it doesn't get too concentrated."
"…So you're saying it's highly concentrated?"
"It's so saturated that it could separate at any moment... and not even the Almana Quantum could hold it."
"Is it dangerous?"
"As long as Shiro doesn't shoot a big magic, there won't be any problem."
In other words, magic is strictly prohibited around the lake.
"Okay. I'll try not to shoot magic... w-what?"
A strong wind shakes the tent
The wind outside was coming into the tent, bringing a smell from upwind.
"It's a burnt smell, doesn’t it?"
The sound of someone running outside
I hear heavy breathing
It's coming toward us.
"Shiro-dono!"
It was Rion, looking panicked.
"What happened?"
"Outside, please look outside! The village of the Isalka tribe!"
I noticed it as soon as I went outside
Bright red flames that can be seen even in the middle of the day
Black smoke rose everywhere
On the Isalka tribe
The village where the chief is located is on fire.
"Rion, call Chrono and Tainy and get on the airship, hurry."
"Y-yes!"
"Yukikaze!"
"Take the fairies and take shelter in the sky?"
"That’s right, don’t forget Tenrei too, okay?"
"I know. Should I go after Shiro and Wince later?"
"Yes. Wince!"
"I'm already here!"
As expected of my partner
"Pack everything you need in the airship. We'll go first!"
"Be careful!"
