Miraiâs speed slowed down and eventually stopped. And to my horror, the entire floor, which had been looking like an evening scene, lost its light and became completely dark.
âKya!â
Nagisa gave a small cry at the strange situation. Emitz and Mirti also looked pale, so they seemed to be holding back their fear. In the midst of these women, Kiyone seemed to be the only one who remained calm, and she put her hand on the shoulder of the scared Nagisa to reassure her.
âWhatâs going on? Feri is warning me that Viktorâs power is dropping.â
Linnecarlo, who is waiting in her magicraft, sends me a message. It seems that the malfunction is also happening to the magicrafts.
âFeri, do you know whatâs going on?â
Feri was looking at the numbers on a special terminal and thinking. When he came to a conclusion, she said,
âIt seems that a special magnetic field is being generated throughout this floor.â
âIf someone is doing this deliberately, itâs a very dangerous situation.â
âIâm not sure whatâs about to happen, but for now, letâs all board our magicrafts and get ready to fight.â
While Kiyone and I nodded, Nagisa was the only one who didnât like the idea.
âIâm going to be all aloneâŚ..when I board my magicraft!â
You can go up against a strong man like a professional wrestler with no problem, but youâre really weak when it comes to this kind of thing.
While I was waiting in my magicraft to be ready to go out at any time, I heard a strange voice. I think it was a womanâs voice, but it sounded lonely and impatient. I wasnât the only one, who heard it, but everyone seemed to hear it, and it caused a bit of a commotion.
âDidnât someone just speak? Who said that?â
Nagisa forcefully confirms that she wants to believe it was one of her friends.
âItâs not me. Isnât that Kiyoneâs voice?â
âItâs not me either. I donât think it matches the voice of anyone else on board of Mirai.â
Kiyone was the closest in terms of voice quality, but she was definitely a different person. And I agree that it doesnât match anyone else on Mirai.
âWhose voice was it, then? I definitely heard it!â
I could tell that Nagisa was scared and impatient. She seems to be hoping that someone will somehow give her a satisfactory answer, but no one seems to know what that voice is.
âI donât know who the voice is or what it means. Isnât it a little strange?â
Jean suddenly asked.
âWhatâs strange?â
âThat voice didnât come from a spirit box, did it?â
âThatâs true. It sounded more like a whisper in my ear.â
âRight? If it was a real voice, all the people on board each magicraft and us in Mirai could hear it, how loud could it be?â
âItâs certainly a strange thing, as Jean said. There is no way we can all hear each other the same thing, unless we are all using comms.â
âStop it! Youâre starting to scare me!â
Nagisaâs fear level rises.
âBy the way, did anyone find out what that voice was saying earlier? I could tell it was a womanâs voice, but I couldnât make out what she was saying.â
âOh, thatâs true. I couldnât hear what she said either.â
âIt sounded like âsave meâ or âIâll curse youâ to me.â
âDonât say random things like that, Linnecarlo!â
Linnecarlo understood that Nagisa was scared and said it in a mean way. If thatâs the case, it seems that she didnât hear the real content either. It was a voice that could be heard clearly, but with so many people listening, is it possible that all of them canât hear it?âŚâŚIâm getting a little scared too.
