Juu Sai no Saikyou Madoushi

It was a village about an hour by carriage from the city of Treille, where the school of magic was located.

A small place to call it a town, but as a village, it flourished. Qualitative private houses are built and even exist such as blacksmiths and grocery stores.

But now there was not a single inhabitant in the village.

Huge cocoons grow in the middle of the village. Bigger than a private house, it stretches out white threads and pulses over a nagging pile of nests.

The villagers were evacuated by the army and left the village in a far-flung manner. Then, from a neighboring town, people gather in the wild horses who hear rumors.

Mixed with those wild horses, Ferris, Alicia and Janet observe the cocoon.

"Something... heh..."

Ferris snapped.

"What's wrong?

Janet tilting her neck.

"It's not what I thought…… it doesn't look very loose……………"

"Ferris, that's a cocoon, not a eyeball. See, you'd lock in before butterflies and moths feathered, wouldn't you?

Alicia taught gently.

"Oh! That, you say Mayu! I studied!

"Good for you."

"Good!

Ferris was fine despite the tight air.

"So... is it true that Dr. Lotte is in that cocoon?

"Your father's letter says so."

"Dr. Lotte, did you lock yourself in a cocoon because you didn't want to come to school?

"I'm sure you are! I lost my confidence as a teacher!

"I don't think that's going to be a cocoon at all..."

As the three of them were discussing it, a discerning figure approached from among the troops that had besieged the village.

"Ladies to Ferris! What are you doing here!?

It is Miranda, the head of the investigation unit of the Sorcery Division. I keep an eye out for him in a way that surprises me.

"Ya, till we stop!

Ferris answered honestly.

"Please return the wild horse! Because it is dangerous!

"So, I'm worried about Dr. Lotte!

"…… oh. You know what that is."

Miranda's expression changed. Do your gaze on Janet.

"Did Your Excellency tell you that?"

"That's right! If you're talking about your teacher, it wouldn't be weird for us to come!?

"Excuse me...... not too loud...... It's a secret to the residents that there's a normal person in there. Because it causes extra confusion."

Captain Miranda lowers his head to Janet.

"Well... I guess so..."

Janet mumbles.

Captain Miranda looks around Ferris' faces with a tough face.

"From now on, the Sorcery Division will raise its total strength to launch an attack on the cocoon. You don't know what kind of reaction you're going to get, so stay out of the way."

"Attack!? Even though there is a teacher inside!?

Ferris opened his eyes.

"I have no choice. To date, soldiers have approached the cocoon in an attempt to rescue an internal human being, but numerous soldiers have been fatally injured in an interception from the cocoon. Some of them are too close to be preyed upon by cocoons."

"That is……"

It's natural for the military to launch a total attack, Alicia.

But Ferris is outraged.

"No, that's terrible! Dr. Lotte could get hurt! Maybe, and you're dead..."

I squeeze my tiny gen trick and tear myself up.

Captain Miranda waved hastily.

"Yes, it's okay! Because if Senior Lotte shows a little face and the cocoon attack is loose then I'll pull it out! Because I can't forgive my seniors for dying!

"What if Dr. Lotte doesn't show his face......?

"Yeah, yeah, in that case..."

The tease was stared at with innocent eyes from Ferris, and Captain Miranda was in a hurry. I don't want to make young girls cry, but the status quo, Captain Miranda alone, can't overshadow military operations, etc.

If this is all the damage in the first place, there's no other option.

"And anyway! Y'all stay back! Don't think about doing anything in front of all these people!

Especially Ferris, and Captain Miranda signaled with eyes. That if that mighty power were exercised in public, it would be too difficult to erase it.

Alicia and Janet observe that… Ferris is not sure and does it right.

Captain Miranda rushed back to his unit. The magician's captain has told me to hide Ferris' power, and when that power becomes too public, it has a negative impact on the international situation.

- God's power is great, but relying too much on it is... dangerous.

Captain Miranda snapped inside. Though I still don't know if Ferris is a god or a demon or anything else.

And hundreds of soldiers start attacking the cocoon.

And the magicians shall utter their spirits, and they shall cast forth flames, and the archers shall be showered with rain and arrows.

"No, no, no, no, no!

Ferris screams, but the attack doesn't slow down. Soldiers who have been hurt many times by their countrymen face cocoons in the shape of ghosts.

A flame of sorcery fell upon the cocoon and burned it.

A bow and arrow stab the cocoon, overflowing with purple fluids.

"Yay! It's working!" "Keep pushing!" "It's the vendetta of my people!" "Go, go, go. Eh!

Soldiers bring cheer to life and momentum.

But then, the cocoon pulsed heavily. Black lightning begins to run around and the surface of the cocoon dissolves. Intense temper is emitted and the flaming red is swallowed by the dark black.

At the next moment, a large quantity of white mass was thrown out of the cocoon. The mass rises when it falls or swells to the ground and begins to creep into the shape of a person.

The appearance of countless white dolls is like……….

"Dr. Lotte!?

Janet doubted her eyes.

Dolls like Dr. Lotte's photograph float up in the sky. Sounds like a disastrous scream, attacking the soldiers.

Soldiers bitten by dolls with sharp jaws and desperately trying to shake them away.

Villagers attacked and blown away by magic bullets released from the doll's mouth.

A mayhem has broken out.

The dolls make a crappy laugh.

"Ahahaha! Ahahaha! Awesome! This magic is amazing! This is what I wanted to do! I didn't give a shit about teachers, I joined the army with Dr. Brinda and I wanted to kill a lot of them! Yet! Yet! Why are you all in the army? Shit! Shit, shit, shit!

"This... is Dr. Lotte's voice!

"Chi, it's not. Ugh! Dr. Lotte wouldn't say this. Ugh!

Ferris desperately denies it.

Yes, Dr. Lotte is a very sweet teacher. There's no way I'm going to do anything terrible, hurt people, or even try to kill them. Ferris believes.

"I'm sure they're just saying it under the influence of temper, but that's not good. If we keep rambling this far, the sorcery division will come out harder. It could also send in fortress-type demon-guided weapons..."

"If you do that, every teacher in the village will blow up!?

"But you're supposed to think there's no other way to crack it down. That's what an army is, isn't it?

"Ugh……………."

Janet, who had the father of the magician's captain, nodded. Like Alicia, Janet knows. Think about what the army is going to do, make the choices it's going to take.

But Ferris can't accept it. Whatever choice is realistic, I can't resist emotions. I cannot silently overlook the crisis of Dr. Lotte, who has kindly taught and guided me.

"I…… I…… will bring Dr. Lotte back!

"Ferris!?

From the surprise Alicia and Janet, Ferris rushed out at a fierce speed.

Run through the wild horses' days, tease the barricades, and jump into the soldiers' days.

"Hey! What are you doing! Ferris! Somebody stop that child!

Captain Miranda panics, but Ferris slips away from the soldiers' hands.

And dash all the way to the cocoon.

The dolls that looked like Dr. Lotte attacked Ferris.

"Stay out of my way. Come on! Huh all the time!!!!

But Ferris shoots one flaming mass out of his hands and blows the puppets away.

A large chunk of Qi is sprayed from the cocoon and beaten by Ferris, but Ferris shall not. The clothes don't hurt.

"Hey, what, that girl..." "Is that an illusion of the eye...?" "Magic, I don't think it's working..." "Yes, no, no...?

Flashy soldiers.

"Oh well…… it's hard to handle afterwards……"

Captain Miranda held his head.
