◇ Momo's Perspective ◇
"Um, Makoto, are we really alone?
I asked with a disturbing voice.
Demon King Castle is home to the Immortal King (Bifronce).
There are only two of them on their way.
Master Hakuryu, Anna, Tree Warrior (Julietta), and other warriors in the City of the Great Labyrinth will be coming after you later.
Nevertheless, the two of us are still worried.
It is the Demon King who controls the continent that waits on the other side.
"I rested slowly in the Great Labyrinth, and the heaven (...) is (...) good (...). No monsters came out. There's nothing to worry about, right?
Makoto-sama, who is at heart, returned an answer that was so incredibly hateful.
Someone I like… but isn't there anything I can do about this difference in values?
"What is the best weather...? It's raining heavily.
The rain sounds loud and the sight is poor.
I don't understand the nerves that call this good weather.
"This rain is raining, little one."
I know, Dear.
Next to Makoto-sama was Dear the Great Spirit of Water.
The attitude is huge, but the strength is also amazing.
Even Master Hakuryu said, "That's not an enemy."
I can't stand a damn thing.
But I don't like being beside Makoto-sama all the time with my face.
"Makoto-sama, why is it raining?
When I got tangled up in his arm, the Great Spirit of Water (Deer) also grabbed his arm from the other side.
"Well, I'll explain when I get there. The point is, it's the devil's castle strategy."
Makoto-sama seems to be having fun.
I mean, as usual.
I'm going to fight the Demon King.
Amazing, as usual.
"Mh... well, I see. However, I am not convinced that my (...) eyes (...) against the Demon King are (...) useless!
I complained about this with a strong tone.
Yes, after all the hard work and training, I say that I will not participate in the fight against the Demon King.
That's not true!
"You can't help it. Dear Goddess of Destiny, vampires are afraid to be manipulated again if they approach the" King of Immortality "."
"But... that's why..."
"Me, Abel, and Mel can't fight if Momo turns to his enemies. At least I can't. So please turn to support this time around. If there's an incapacitated casualty, I want it transported out of the battle zone with a teleport."
"Uu... yes... I understand"
I nodded softly.
If you say so, you have no choice but to follow.
"Fu, I'll take care of my king, so there's no time for the little one."
"What?! It was useless being called a submarine shrine!
"Yes, that's it!? Except for the submarine temple, the Great Spirit of Water (I) is super competent!
"Yes! I know that the place Makoto-sama wants to go most is the undersea shrine!
"Ugh, shut up, little one. You're a poor body!
"Hmm!? You can't do anything because your body is made of water!
"Fufu, if you synchronize with my king, I'll do something like that...."
"Well, if I'm going to do it..."
"Yes, stop. There's a monster, both of you."
Makoto-sama blocked the mouth of me and the Great Spirit of Water.
I look forward in a hurry.
In front of me is the immortal (undead) of a giant demon.
but was (...) pickled in ice.
Apparently, Makoto-sama froze it.
Don't make too much noise.
"Yes..."
Angry we nodded quietly.
I glanced at the monster that was slightly ice pickled.
Nevertheless... I learned something because I practiced magic under Master Hakuryu.
How does Makoto-sensei activate magic?
Normally magic requires preparation before it can be activated.
Let's start with "spells."
Those unfamiliar with magic activate magic by casting spells.
Repeat that over and over again, and eventually you'll skip the chanting effort and get the Unchanted Magic.
Now I'm at this stage.
Collects magic, specifies objects, and activates magic.
In the meantime, "2-3 seconds".
Master Hakuryu praised me for "reaching the area in half a year is one of the best materials in a hundred years."
I was happy.
Now I can help Makoto-sama!
I thought so.
I looked around.
Rain falls from the sky.
And yet, it rained on us.
Large grains of rain shun us like creatures.
Even on the ground.
Even though it's so muddy, it's easy to walk at my feet and Makoto-sama's.
No, rather, the water is carrying us on its own.
It was a strange situation.
I know the cause.
Makoto-sama is manipulating rain and water with water magic.
So me and Makoto-sama won't get wet in the rain, and we can swim through the rain-fed ground.
Every grain of irregularly shaking rain doesn't hit me.
In the first place, this rain is even Makoto-sama's magic.
As far as you can see, the rain clouds are everywhere.
How far is Makoto-sama's magic...?
I don't know.
How can I do this?
But there's only one thing I know.
I don't feel like I can do the same thing...
"Momo, what's wrong?
Makoto-sama asked worriedly.
"No... it's still raining water magic anyway. What's your name?
"Nh ~, I don't know if I have a name. If it's just raining, you can make it rain, right?
"I can't do this on such a wide scale! Besides, it's a complicated technique to keep us from getting wet..."
"If you think 'don't hit' like that, you can avoid water on your own, right?
…………
No, I don't understand.
The magic concept taught by Master Hakuryu collapses.
Is that what you think?
Is that human magic anymore?
Isn't it a miracle of God?
I looked at Makoto-sama's back, which was by no means the biggest but the safest in the world.
(... if you don't follow me, don't leave me here)
I like someone who doesn't know what they're thinking.
That's why I thought I'd try to understand.
◇ Anna's perspective ◇
Mr. Makoto, it's been three days since Momo-chan got here.
We left the Great Labyrinth.
The fog is deep and the vision is poor.
Proceed with caution.
Led by Johnny, who runs the labyrinth.
There are also Warriors of the Earth (Volff), Warriors of the Woods (Julietta), Warriors of the Iron and Warriors of the City of the Great Labyrinth.
In addition, there are the white dragons (Helm Merck) and their companions, the ancient dragons.
The number is close to a thousand.
Definitely the largest I know. [M]
I've never acted with such unity in my life.
Always hiding from the eyes of the demons, they could only move with a small number of people.
But not this time.
You can rest well, prepare your strength, and challenge the Demon King.
In perfect condition, you can challenge.
(Warrior of Fire... this time we will defeat the Demon King)
As I consolidated my secret resolve, I heard a conversation from my neighbor.
"The fog is thick. If this happens, the demons won't have to worry about finding out."
"The Spirits of Water are delighted. As usual, Makoto's Spirit Magic."
"I was worried about how such a large number of people could get close to the Demon King army without being found out... but I didn't think there would be enough fog to cover the forest..."
"But it's a good hand. Makoto is free to control the weather."
"He's the only Spirit Manipulator on this scale."
"The Elves use spirits a lot... but Makoto is different."
It was a conversation between Mr White Dragon and Mr Johnny.
They both praise Mr. Makoto's magic.
But....
Um, aren't you two worried about Makoto and Momo? They're on their way to the Demon King Castle alone.
I really wanted to follow you.
But Makoto couldn't forgive me.
"Abel, it's your job to defeat the Demon King, so come with us. Don't fight on the road. Please rely on Mr White Dragon and Mr Johnny. All right?
"Ha, yes...."
Usually, Mr. Makoto, who doesn't tell me the details, has been cautious in an unusual and harsh tone. [M]
Why are you telling me that?
Are you worried...?
No, it's not.
I'm worried about Makoto and Momo.
The monsters near Demon King Castle are strong.
I can think of something like that.
"Are you worried about the Spirit Master? It's useless."
"You can tell by looking at the Spirit of Water. It would be about a walk for him."
Neither Mr. White Dragon nor Mr. Johnny was worried about Mr. Makoto at all.
Instead, I was told to think about myself.
Ugh...
I knew I should have followed you.
◇
A few days later.
I saw a giant castle rising black in the distance.
― ― The castle of the Devil King (Bifronce).
Last time we were here, the fire hero, who was the leader of the party, was murdered, and we were upset and taken prisoner.
Makoto saved my life on the verge of execution.
But this time...
When I took a small deep breath with a nervous look. [M]
"Hmm! What is that...?
"Hey, Tree Hero (Julietta). Louder."
"Hmm... that was the work of the Spirit Master. This is the operation."
"It's the basics of a castle attack... but I'll do something bold."
I can hear the annoying voices of others.
Something happened...?
I approached the people in the conversation.
I glanced at the Demon King Castle.....
Huh?
The voices that came out of my mouth. [M]
Ugh, you're lying, Makoto-san...
What was there ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
