A contract. A two sided switch of deserves to each events concerned. For paying the agreed value, you possibly can acquire one thing that you simply had been beforehand missing.

Folks of the underwater metropolis Lulilas made a contract with Kutanid. So that they needed to give one thing to it. And what may they probably acquire in return? That’s the query.

「If we need to get some solutions for ourselves, our greatest guess is to search for them ourselves. No different alternative however to discover the citadel.」

「This, that is……」

I suppose that is it, we are able to solely try this, since we at present don’t have any different possibility.

「A written report. Somebody’s diary or notes. Notes and report logs from an experiment. We search for something which will resemble issues like that.」

A medium like that could be a good tone setter. It helps to maintain the suspense increase, and it provides taste to any horror-like setting. Nothing higher than discovering disturbing, blood-soaked notes. Irrespective of the contents of mentioned notes.

In this sort of setting the standard suspect can be a monster breaking out of a secret underground laboratory, or a navy virus getting launched exterior accidentally or on goal. However it doesn’t matter what occurred right here, we should get to know what it was if we need to have an opportunity at this battle.

And what have you learnt? As luck would have it, our Crew A managed to find one thing. It was a diary alright, however we’ve discovered it not within the throne room as you’d count on, however within the chamber that appeared considerably like an workplace or a research. On the similar time Rust and her Crew B ventured into the highest flooring of the citadel.

「Now then…… Let’s give this factor a learn, we could?」

“I ponder? How lengthy it’s been for the reason that arrival of the ‘Blue’ that introduced with it the tip of the ocean? At first it was solely the cities within the West. Then the cities within the South had been all however swallowed up by it. Those that tried to fled from it on the ships ended up resting on the backside of the ocean. Finally, even this island was devoured by ‘Blue’ and ended up eroding utterly.”

“And it was such a horrifying sight that it was greater than sufficient to solid not solely the widespread folks into despair, however the entirety of the royal household as properly.”

What the hell is that this!? Cease throwing new settings at us already! ‘Blue? The hell is that this complete ‘Blue’ factor all about!?

…… No, no, no. Relax, me. A minimum of there are two essential issues that we’ve discovered at this level. This place was certainly an island, and one thing managed to invade it, though it was not Kutanid.

“The streets are actually utterly overrun with ‘Blue’, and everybody and all the things it touches turns into the a part of the ‘Blue’ as properly.”

“Happily or sadly, we managed to evacuate many of the ministers and harmless civilians within the citadel partitions, giving all of them a temporal secure heaven. Not closing the citadel gate on anybody in want of assistance is the least we are able to do on this time of despair.”

「For now, I get the impression that the one who wrote that diary will need to have been a extremely good individual…… Let’s see what comes after that.」

“I’m scared of this stalemate that’s been going for therefore lengthy now, however I can not voice my worries and considerations to anybody, particularly not the ministers.”

“With our common makes an attempt at driving the ‘Blue’ out of the town, we’re continually shedding small variety of troopers. It’s a loss, however on the very least with much less troopers we’re capable of present lodging for extra residents. At this time limit, the citadel partitions had been in a position to absorb all the remaining folks from across the metropolis.”

“Initially the variety of residents was means greater than what we’re all the way down to now, however there’s nothing that we are able to do to fend the ‘Blue’ off, and it’s that precise powerlessness that I can not completely forgive myself for. Because it additionally turned out, nobody from the instant environment of the His Majesty is aware of learn how to handle this present menace that’s looming over us.”

At first I believed that this ‘Blue’ factor may be some sort of international invader, however the extra I learn the extra that appears to not be the case right here.

The one that wrote this…… I don’t know who it was, perhaps some common citizen or perhaps one of many smartest folks round right here, however there have been utilizing the phrase ‘Blue’ in a singular kind right here slightly than plural.

Eager about it for a second, does that imply the ‘Blue’ is one enormous singular entity? Or perhaps it’s only a idea of one thing? …… May this actually discuss with Kutanid?

“It’s actually irritating that we can not do something however to attend in right here whereas the ‘Blue’ continually besieges us. The truth that a few of the ministers who fled the town by ships took most of our meals provides with them shouldn’t be serving to us, both.”

“Seeing as our present meals and water reserves should not almost sufficient to maintain a whole lot of individuals each single day, I can not assist it however to assume that our destiny is to slowly wither away and die right here.”

「This sample will all the time result in infighting and the surviving neighborhood mainly tearing one another other than the within as time goes on.」

「That being mentioned, there is no such thing as a proof that helps the belief that there was any combating within the citadel’s partitions.」

To sum up: as soon as the invasion began, folks have fled to the citadel for security, however there was no combating amongst themselves. Quite, the most definitely explanation for their deaths was the truth that they died of hunger and dehydration, since a bunch of retarded ministers fled the town by ships, taking meals and water with them for the journey. A minimum of that’s my understanding.

“A horrible storm occurred at this time. The sort of storm that may usually take all the things in its path and return it to the ocean whence it got here from. “

“Nonetheless, it’s inconceivable to easily wash away the ‘Blue’, not now because it has taken roots so deep into the foundations of our metropolis…… On the very least, that’s what I believed.”

Hm? What’s with that movement? It’s as if……
