'Why?'

He looked around Edwin's feet, trying to suppress his anxious heart.

At that time, the magic circle still floating on the lake caught my eye.

I thought the magic circle would have disappeared as soon as the barrier was broken, but it was shining brighter than before.

"Maybe it's because of that magic circle?"

"It's kind of a bit of a headache."

Edwin, who raised the corner of his mouth sullenly, glared at the magic circle.

'Is it only Edwin? Or others... ... ?'

I turned my head and looked around.

Most of those who had been rowing hard a while ago had arrived near the pier.

They were docking the boat without any restrictions.

'Is it only affecting us?'

The moment I turned my head thinking that I was lucky.

"Huh? Why is this?"

I looked up again at the bewildered cry.

One of the first people to arrive at the wharf could be seen twisting around without getting off the boat.

Seeing that he couldn't move his legs, he seemed to be in the same situation as Edwin a while ago.

Beside the man, he saw what appeared to be his wife and son approaching.

Belatedly, the family recognized the abnormal situation and began to help the man get out of the way.

However, although he could move backwards, he could not step on the pier.

It wasn't just the man. The same was true of his family who helped him.

The panicked people turned to those around them for help, and others began to agitate.

"It seems that everyone on the ship is bound by this magic circle."

Pointing to the people hopping around the marina and speaking, Edwin glanced at them.

"Were we not the only targets?"

Despite the unusual situation, Edwin was smiling as if it was interesting.

Even so, I was curious about Edwin's relaxed attitude from a while ago, so I couldn't hold it in anymore and asked.

"Did you ever know this would happen?"

"I was expecting the magician to do his tricks. I didn't know it would come out like this."

Edwin shrugged as if nothing special.

I felt a little absurd at the carefree attitude that could not find even a single grain of dust as a sense of crisis.

"Then you shouldn't have gone out."

"You have to smoke to summon your prey from hiding. They have good prey here."

For a moment, it seemed that there was a dark light inside Edwin's wall, but it was so instantaneous that he couldn't be sure.

"I have to go to Peyton's estate soon. We have to catch him before that."

If the wizard had any tricks on the way to Peyton, it could endanger not only us, but the Duke of Peyton and Evelynn as well.

In addition, if the wizard even noticed about Sephiroth's sword, he could be in greater danger than when the sword was stolen from the Crown Prince.

But it was someone who could easily be caught by a wizard if he wanted it.
