"Oops."

I involuntarily stood up and staggered back down. Immediately I am grabbed by the elbow from the side. In the terrible shaking, my body is stabilized at once. I looked over to see Karin supporting me.

What are you doing, Rust? Let's get you under the desk just in case.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

We both crawled under the desk with our elbows still clutched in place, and Roa was there a step ahead of us. He was scurrying around, eating a piece of candy he was carrying.

"You two are going to be busy later. Here, I'll give you this."

Roa offers the pastry he was holding.

A glimmer of magical elements in his eyes. It seems that he is using both his far-sightedness and clairvoyance.

"Thank you very much. How's the damage, Loa?

She eats the pastry as if swallowing it whole in one mouthful, and Kalin asks Roa about it.

There is no serious damage in Ptarescu. Master Rust's alchemist Eve is really good. However, the tremors are more severe this time. As far as I can see, there have been landslides in several places in the territory.

I also have one, which I gratefully accept when Roa gives it to me. It is not easy to eat while shaking.

"Hmm. I don't know how this shaking works, but it must be getting bigger and bigger."

I tell him this as I eat, struggling with the shaking. Nutrition is important because we don't know when we will be able to eat again.

"Is that a sorcerer's memory after all?"

"Yes."

He manages to finish eating. How Kalin manages to eat this in one bite is a mystery to me. She must have a big mouth for her body.

I mean...

"Oh. There's a time limit.

At that moment, the shaking finally subsides. We looked at each other and started to move to deal with the situation.

"We were just starting to see more brick buildings, but we'll probably have to rely on Eve's building. Rust, Harbor Fulton."

Karin's voice comes from behind a large pile of papers.

"Yeah. I'm on my way to Sailuku. Master Halhammer is flagging off the creation of Eve's sister alchemical beast, and it's almost finished. But in Harbaughton, there is no source of magical elements like here. It won't last long."

"Let's hope it lasts until this ground shaking reaches its limits. If we can't deal with the three seats of iniquity by then, we'll be together in the end, won't we?

Once the shaking had stopped and I had left Karin and the others, I came back to her office.

As a temporary measure against the intermittent increase of the shaking, we are going to grow bamboo buildings in Harbaughton as well. Here's a report on that front.

"So, you're sure that the three seats of iniquity are in the basement of the neighboring country?"

Carene half-pokes her head out and asks, "What's going on?

"That should be it. But it's been sealed up for hundreds of years. The exact location..."

"You have an interesting story, Mr. Rust."

A voice interrupts our conversation from behind. It was the voice of His Highness Lily, who was still staying at Ptarescu.
