The person Reynolds was desperately looking for seemed to notice his arrival, and she raised her head with great difficulty and slowly looked in his direction.
The glasses she used to wear on her face were broken.
Her eyes, which used to be full of seriousness, couldn't be gathered.
Reynolds's blank mind was unable to produce any thoughts at all as he was stared at by the pair of eyes whose pupils were dilated as if he could no longer see the things in front of him clearly.
It wasn't until half a second later that Reynolds couldn't help but shout.
"Why didn't you enter the capsule? Mashu! "
With that, Reynolds almost shook his body and rushed to Mashu's side.
In this regard, Mashu didn't feel any pain, and she smiled.
"Because senpai said he would come back soon …"
That's it?
In order to wait for Reynolds to come back, Mashu didn't enter the capsule to prepare for Reiko transfer, and she eventually became the victim of this sudden fire.
"— —!"
Reynolds clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and could only gasp violently to suppress the intense emotions in his heart.
"I'll get you out first!"
After suppressing his emotions, Reynolds activated the magic circuit in his body and let his magical power surge.
"Summon Demonic Ants!"
That was one of the three magics Reynolds learned that could summon mid-level servants.
The surging magical power suddenly formed a magic square, and ants as huge as dogs were summoned.
"Kacha …"
"Kacha … Kacha …"
The ants rubbed their fang-like mouthparts, making a harsh sound like nails rubbing glass.
Reynolds manipulated the Demonic Ants to scatter around the huge Mixed Mud Block and begin to move it.
"Boom!"
More than ten Demonic Ants displayed an unimaginable strength. They pushed away a huge chunk of mud that was bigger than a room and rolled it into the fire at the side, causing a roar.
"Senpai …?"
"Don't talk! I'll take you out now! "
Reynolds squandered his physical strength that had already reached the limit, deliberately not looking at Mashu's miserable lower body, and was ready to carry Mashu on his back.
As long as he took Mashu out, Reynolds believed that his lazy brother would have a way to save her.
Just when Reynolds was about to move Mashu to the automatic door of the control room and was about to go out …
"The wall is activated."
"Central region, seal off."
Amidst the cold and merciless announcement, a door rose from the top, bottom, left, and right of the automatic door. They clamped together and sealed the control room.
Reynolds stopped for the third time.
Looking at the sealed automatic door in front of him, he was speechless. "Bang … Bang bang …"
As the raging fire gradually grew stronger, more and more rocks fell from the ceiling. It was as if the ceiling was about to collapse, causing the entire control room to become shaky and on the verge of collapse, causing bursts of explosive sounds.
Reynolds and Mashu both looked at the completely closed door in front of them and fell into silence.
Reynolds understood.
Whether it was himself or Mashu, they could not leave this place.
The door of the control room was specially made, and it was very well designed for magic. Even the most powerful magician would not be able to break it with brute force. Even if they were to use physical means, it would be very difficult to break this door that was stronger than steel.
Unless he could summon a high-level familiar, it was worth a try.
Otherwise, Reynolds wouldn't be able to escape with his current strength.
And if he couldn't escape from here, he would die.
Not only Mashu couldn't be saved, but even Reynolds himself would be swallowed by the fire and lose his hard-won life.
This was the current situation.
For a while, Reynolds didn't know how to react.
As for Mashu, her voice sounded.
"I'm sorry … Senpai … It's all because of me …"
Her voice was so fragile that it seemed like it would disappear at any time, and the guilt contained in the voice made people feel distressed.
However, for some reason, when Reynolds heard this voice, he felt calm.
Obviously, he was about to die, but his mood was incredibly calm.
And his feelings were even more simple.
"Well, there's nothing I can do about it."
Reynolds's voice returned to its usual casual tone, and he smiled as if he was relaxed.
This made the thousands of words in Mashu's heart dissipated and turned into a weak but exceptionally beautiful smile.
"Senpai … You're really a senpai …"
Mashu only had this mood left.
The raging fire grew stronger again, swallowing Reynolds and Mashu's escape route.
Reynolds held Mashu and sat in front of the sealed door, looking at the sea of fire in front of him.
"Senpai …"
Not knowing how long it took, Mashu's weak voice sounded again.
"Remember when we first met … Do you remember?"
This sentence immediately pulled Reynolds's memories back to the past.
That was two years ago.
At that time, Reynolds had been in Chaldea for a year.
As the best master candidate in the current record, Reynolds was welcomed by many people when he came to Chaldea. But in that year, Reynolds did not cooperate with Chaldea, which gradually eroded Chaldea's patience, and made his interpersonal relationships in Chaldea fall to the lowest point.
To put it bluntly, except for Roman, no one else was close to Reynolds at that time.
At that time, this was something that Reynolds could not have wished for more.
"Instead of wasting my time with these guys who are secretly conducting some inhuman magic experiments, I might as well play a game."
Reynolds sincerely held these ideas, and at the same time, he also held the resistance to Chaldea and lived alone.
Sometimes he practiced magic in places where others didn't know.
Sometimes, he would be alone in his room playing games.
Except for Roman who came in person to ask Reynolds to go out and cooperate with some inspections, Reynolds did not step out of the door.
This was Reynolds's life in Chaldea two years ago.
A life of complete solitude.
Until one day …
"Her name is Mashu Gillett, and she will live in Chaldea like you in the future. You have to get along well."
Roman suddenly came to him with a girl who was about the same age as Reynolds and introduced the girl standing next to him.
Reynolds still remembered Mashu at that time.
Her short hair was no different from today's.
Her delicate face was no different from today's.
Her wonderful atmosphere was no different from today's.
Her intellectual appearance was no different from today's.
