Four hours had passed since the Liberation Army had shot down the target landing craft. They had been searching the area since then but still hadn’t found their targets. The trio in question had vanished like smoke.

“Don’t tell me they were never on board to begin with,” Maxfern muttered.

“That is impossible. The spiritual energy sensor detected the residual thoughts of the crew,” Grevanas said.

“So they’ve skillfully been buying time... The more time passes, the more advantageous the situation becomes for them.”

He slammed the armrest of his chair in frustration. They hadn’t been able to escape, as a new fleet from the Imperial Army had arrived. They’d also confirmed that a ground force had descended to the crash site, so their targets hadn’t gotten to safety yet. That meant they were still active on the surface. The reinforcements were probably a rapid reaction force, and once a little more time passed, normal soldiers would be deployed in numbers that far surpassed the current ones. That would be the end of the Liberation Army’s hunt for the girls. The tables would turn and it would be they who were being hunted.

“We probably have less than two hours,” Grevanas concluded.

The rapid reaction force had arrived after four hours, which must have been a rather reckless journey. If they traveled using the ordinary method, it would take six hours, so there were less than two hours left before more soldiers arrived. They needed to kill their targets before then.

“We have to be bold here, Grevanas,” said Maxfern.

“I agree. But we will need to do something beforehand.”

Healthy girls could walk around sixteen kilometers in four hours, but given the wooded terrain, they’d probably made half of that distance. Even if they put real effort in, they would have gotten ten kilometers at most. It was a wide area, so a bold move—such as using the waste—required narrowing down that area a bit more.

“Do you have a plan?” Maxfern asked.

“I am thinking of summoning magical beasts to chase them down.”

His idea was to use wave tactics by summoning a vast number of weak magical beasts to search for the three. There was no need for the creatures to actually kill them. All they needed to do was find a trace so that a human squad could be sent in to finish the job.

“I will use fairies,” Grevanas said. “They are smart, fast, and cost little mana.”

Fairies were small humanoid creatures ten centimeters tall with wings growing out of their backs. They were the perfect fit for what Grevanas wanted. Moreover, they could also use simple magic, making them highly useful pursuers.

Maxfern shook his head. “That won’t work, Grevanas.” He didn’t think the fairies could chase the three down.

“Why is that? They can hardly be called diligent, but they are ideal for this situation...”

Fairies had a clear weakness, which was that they couldn’t take a hit. An even bigger weakness was that they were very talkative. They would always be chatting with each other. So Grevanas would ordinarily never summon them.
