「… So, what are we going to do about this situation… ?」

「W-Whatever you say…」
「… That was grotesque…」
「… I guess I agree with you on that~…」

Unusually, Furin-san is not in good spirits. That’s because, as it happens, a person died a cruel death right in front of her. A stab to the heart, and then straight up… No, it’s better this way.

「…Ah… Master… !」
「…」

The butler is sobbing in front of the dead body of the landlord, who is no longer in the shape of a human.

「… We should leave early too…」
「「「… Agreed」」」

Everyone’s hearts are in agreement with Suzu’s suggestion. I wouldn’t want to stay here under these circumstances either…

「… What’s… this…」
「What’s going on… ?」

We left the mansion and returned to the center of the city. What we saw there was a burning city.

「That! What happened here!?」
「I- I don’t know! Kyu, suddenly the city… !!」

I asked around and found out that the city had suddenly become like this… It was such a beautiful city, I can’t believe this happened…

「… The players around here are getting impatient…」

「Some are happy with the event, though~…」
「… What should we do now… ?」
「Iris… cough! I-I wanted to make a weapon…」
「Eh~? You should just make it. Why don’t you make it~?」
「Eh? To make it under these circumstances… ?」
「Because we have no attachment to this city~? I do feel sorry for the people who live here~… But we are strangers after all…」
「… That’s… Yes, but…」
「Mm-hm! Because we had nothing to do with it!」
「Even Suzu…」

But I think it is quite challenging to make it under these circumstances…. I mean, how did we end up in this situation…. At the very least, I would like to know the purpose or reason for whatever it was that attacked this city.

That’s when it happened.

『Gentlemen. Here in Formana, we are effectively under the control of our Heavenly Prison Chapter』

Suddenly, a voice comes from somewhere, which is indistinguishable as male or female.

『With this, the Great Labyrinth of Formana became the property of our Heavenly Prison Chapter, but to our dismay, the entrance to the labyrinth is still blocked by a certain force』

『──Therefore, I say unto you. If you who are here in Formana want to liberate this place, you must lift the blockade. We do not want to hurt the people of Formana. Do not forget that』

Then the voices stopped.

I understood the purpose of the forces that attacked Formana, which I just wanted to know. But why don’t they fight the certain forces that are blockading the Great Labyrinth of Formana when they have the power that can make Formana fall? I think I could normally do that…. I mean, the certain force that is blockading the Formana Labyrinth may or may not be…

「The Ayane-tan love club, huh…」
「Yes, that’s right…」
「I never thought they would ever be related to us~…」

「Eh? Does Merlin-san and Furin-san know about that meeting?」
「Of course! Because I recruited them!」

Suzu confidently boasts that she is the leader of the group. Maybe it’s because the association has my name on it, but it’s kind of embarrassing to be so smug….

「… I mean, it doesn’t matter!」
「Ah, that reminds me…」
「No~ I never thought this would happen because of the actions of our members~… Haha…」
「…」

She defends herself while looking away immensely, but I am not angry with her or anything like that. Because in fact, I didn’t think it was any of my business either. However, I’m indirectly involved in this case because it’s related to the meeting led by Luna-san. that’s why…

「… We have to do something….」
「… Well, I knew Aya would say that… Yes…」

When I said that, Suzu was taken aback… Why?
