After climbing for a while, the serpent's carcass appeared in a massive pile of places.

The wound appears to have been dimensioned with a sharp blade, where frostbite is seen.

"The killer is a wizard! And you're a master of ice magic! Definitely."

"If you look at it, anyone can tell."

Well, wait, don't be a yi.

I put my arms together and looked down at a certain carcass.

"But the carcasses here have burnt marks, which means there are multiple culprits!

"So I know. And what, the killer?"

"No, nothing. I just tried to create an atmosphere...... let's go"

Yeah, really, it's disgusting, it stinks of blood...

I just ate the accidental blow earlier, so I pass by paying attention to the falling snake as well.

Hmm, but besides us, there are other people looking to climb the summit while defeating the snake.

"Are you one of them?

"I don't know, even if you're a Sigen soldier, it wouldn't make a difference to defeat a serpent who's been resurrected. Besides, there's no point in sacrificing at the top of the mountain. Until then, it can be regarded as protecting."

But whoever probably fought here hasn't done any damage in the fight against the snake.

There's a lot of confusion in my hands.

If we don't rely on sacrifice, we can defeat it.

"Either way, that's an indeterminate element… now let's hurry up and go for the summit"

"Let's do that."

...... come on.

"Hey, you look pale. Are you okay?"

Mr. Jin just drops by on me fluttering again.

"Never mind. Me, originally weak, so this is normal"

"That's a tricky thing..."

"Really."

... No, I know.

This isn't about strength.

My arm hurts tingly.

Was that an earlier blow?

Possible... poison?

Try to remove the handkerchief from the tool bag and tie the arm closer to the heart than the injury.

"Mm-hmm."

I used one hand and my mouth and tied it up well for the price.

Maybe now, but it would be better than not doing it.

"... hey"

Well, even in the opposite position, I ask, right?

……

"Don't shimmer, what happened?

"Ha... it's poison. Maybe, bleeding poison. I can't stop bleeding."

I think Regenerated Robes works, but it's a powerful poison to surpass it.

Maybe if it wasn't for the robe, he'd be down with a lot of bleeding...

"... turn back, the witch promises to help"

"No, it would be useless to turn back..."

When I put it to the word, I can see that I blued it myself.

"Serum of Yamatanoorochi...... do you have it?

……

Huh.

It was a detour...

Thinking about my future, it's going to get dark in front of me.

"... knocking down a serpent, but the chances of me being helpful... are hard"

I laugh unexpectedly.

That was awkward...

"Stupid......"

Mr. Jin glanced at him with a blurred face.

"Well, well, I haven't decided to die yet. Quickly defeat the serpent, collect the poison, and make the serum. That's all I have."

How desperate, you think I'm going to make serum now?

Maybe we have other means than serum.

If Till stays close, he might do something about it.

"The only way to help Lynn, or for me to survive, is to defeat the serpent. You're in a hurry."

"Why can you stay so bright? Are you trained as a soldier?

"There's no reason for that. Well...... I'm scared. Don't bother, let me tell you."

"... sorry"

It's a spicy one.

You're right about blackheads and brothers.

"Anyway, now climb - what is it!?

Above, a tremendous explosion sounded from the summit that was about to arrive.

Looking up, there's a white flame.

"That flame! It looks familiar!!

"Is that a fight? Somebody's fighting a serpent!

"Let's go!!

"Oh!"

One breath left, running up all at once.

That flame...... should I say white flame?

That's the flame Makina was using!

It's the magic Machina was using!

Is there a makina over there?

As an enemy?

Or...

◇ ■ ◇ ■ ◇

When his breath also reached the summit constantly, for the first time he was able to grasp the full extent of his opponent.

A body like a monster ripped out of a fire exit, in a way, as expected.

Unlike the only snake I've ever had on my opponent's neck, he has a fine torso like a dragon.

And the tail, which is not the noise at the tail of the nine tails, stretches from its giant body to numerous.

Perhaps that's the head of the snake you've been running into.

It was just a tail.

"... this is, well, as expected in a way"

"You monster -!"

Take over my words and Mr. Jin will answer.

Reaching from torso to head is a serpent with eight heads as expected.

Each and every head of it is so vicious that it cannot be compared to that of the tail.

And it grows from torso to arm in the snake's crotch.

Hiya... disgusting as a creature...

"- Come on! Starflare!!!

A powerful voice caught my eye on the girl floating in the air surrounded by white flames.

He is facing the serpent with a grandiose little body.

The magic you spoke of is the advanced magic of fire!

A blinking flame burst into Yamatano Orochi.

The white flame burns down the serpent.

... impeccable power!

Why don't you take a pull on Eclair, too?

"-Ah!?

"Heh?...... what, eclair!??

I got eyes on the girl fighting the serpent.

... Eclair?

No, it's not Eclair... isn't it?

"Ohhhhhh!!

"What? What!?

I pulled a little into too much shape.

- Ah!?

"Hey, before! Me!!"

"Ma ~?"

A really cute, eclair-like girl tilted her neck.

Awesome. Yeah, cute!

Otherwise!

"- Lightning!!

I bounced off the head of the serpent that was about to strike the girl right now.

"It's not over yet! What are you distracting me from! Do you want to die!!

"Boo!

... Something swelled my cheeks.

Wow, you're a dangerous kid...

Around where I can use Starflare, it doesn't seem like it's just anything.

You're going to re-compartmentalize, and you're coming down to us.

Going down to the ground and extinguishing the flames revealed a pretty face wrinkled between her brows.

Crimson hair, amber eyes quite characteristic and eye-catching.

Finally, the outfit also attracts attention...

Around ten when you were a year old?

We're still in the middle of something.

It's so cute, I'm sure.

……

"Um... are you mad?

"Pfft."

Whoa!

I'm not talking about... or anything, because I'm in front of the enemy with all my might right now!

Capture enemy movements in the lightning field you were already straining.

A serpent's blow descended from heaven more than a bite, but he hugged the plump girl.

"Are you all right?

……

"Uh, you, what's your name?

"... hehe"

Oh?

I don't know what you're talking about, but you look so happy.

Land with the girl in your arms.

Looking at it, Mr. Jin apparently did well, too.

Let go of the girl I was holding for now.

……

……

- I didn't get off.

I can't leave with a hug around my neck.

Here, here, here!?

Really, not if you're playing right now!?

"Mr. Jin!

"If you got your feet together, take the kid away from me once!

I'm not talking about the tail snake, the head snake, and leaving one on my current Yamatano Orochi opponent, who also has an attack of arms from his torso.

"... no, I will fight like this!

I brutally stroke the girl.

I don't know if I'm gonna leave because it's dangerous, including threats.

"hehe"

……

It was a full face, full of laughter.

No, this...

Why would a kid like this be here?

Yes!

Do we have to...!

Run before the serpent with thunder over your body.

Suddenly the tail snake pops out of the ground, so the field expands all the time.

On top of that, we need to make an effective blow......!

"Lightning!"

Jump and tap the magic directly into the snake's mouth, which is over the head of the serpent.

A little rampant, but still weak to this extent!

- And it was awkward to jump.

In the air, where I couldn't change direction, the other heads flocked to eat and kill me.

We have no choice but to do so while we dispel it with repulsion!

"- The Unmoveable Mountain Like!! Isicle Garden!!"

The white ice junction unfolded around us as the girl I was holding screamed.

Plus the serpent's head swarms one after the other, but it can't crack, it can't crush!

"Hehe, awesome?

"... it's amazing!

I mean, I think I saw something really awesome...

This kid didn't rely on tools or anything - did he use two kinds of magic?!?

"Ka ~ well..."

……

A girl roared with a mosquito roaring voice.

He nods his face around his neck and rubs his cheeks like a cat that sweetens with all his might.

I don't know, it's not cute...

"Uh, you... what's your name?

"Yeah ~"

No, this girl...

It's amazing, but isn't it amazing...

No, it's amazing... I'd rather be old...

"I'm Alice. You, your name, can you say it?

I ask her face close as she gently strokes the head of the girl rubbing on.

"... Chu"

"To?"

"If you do, I can tell you"

……

Wow!

What kind of situation?!

Mr. Yamatano Orochi is still wrapping around the ice line!?

Ignore that, Chu!?

"Come on."

Isn't that a cute selfish kid?

I stopped thinking deeply.

"If I was being a bad boy, I wouldn't give it to you, would I? Just this once, it's special."

I didn't even meditate on my eyes, I cuddled on the forehead of the girl whose eyes glowed.

"Uh-oh!

The girl roared as she shuddered.

Doesn't he have poison?

I'm intruded by poison...

"Lumina!!

"Oh."

Did you say it right!

Great!

I caress your head accidentally.

That's a good smile.

You're sweet enough to be no different than this kid, Lynn, even though he's older.

"The greatest genius ever! It's Lumina!

"Hehe, I see"

Genius.

You can't even tell a lie, can you, the peculiarity of manipulating two magics?

Talent to unleash advanced magic at this age.

I'm sure it's great.

...... I mean the stuffing is a little sweet, although I'm a kid who feels anxious.

"Why is Lumina fighting Yamatano Orochi? It's dangerous to fight alone, isn't it?

"That's, uh, wait a minute!

Lumina took a note out of her pocket!

But again and again, it is in battle!

Are you okay, really...

When you look outside the junction, you're so wrapped up in snakes that you can't escape.

Luckily, it doesn't seem so sturdy that it gets crushed, but what are we gonna do...

"The number one reason!

"Yes."

to, Lumina laughs.

"He's the bad guy, I'll take him out!! That's all!!"

- Oh, let's stop suspecting this kid as an enemy or an unidentified man.

It's my first meeting, but wonders and suspicions like that seem stupid.

Somehow, it makes me want to point pro bono love...... it's really weird though.

"... I see, I'm convinced"

"Look at that!

Oh, my God.

"I'm not gonna bust him! - Burst!!

As the word goes, the ice junction exploded.

Naturally, the snake that was wrapped around it is also blown away.

Wow...

We'll land on the ground once we're free.

"You're safe!

"Mr. Jin too!

Seems like he's full of them to avoid snake attacks, but he's managed to survive.

Lumina seems to have settled down for a while... and you're back in order.

All of a sudden I got to the top and went into battle, but speaking of which, is Lynn here?

It was the first time I looked over at the summit.

Then you can see the building on the other side of Yamatano Orochi's back, all the way around the fire exit.

"I mean, the temple! Could it be, over there?

"Likely. There's a strong bond there, and Yamatano Orochi can't even get his hands on it. There may be sigens... but there's a good chance there are witches too!

I want to scratch the attack well and just make sure.

It would be easier to escape than to defeat it.

Running away... my life is tough, too.

Hold off the bleeding from the arm that is still flowing out.

That's what Lumina saw.

He is a child rich in facial expressions.

It turned blue.

"Ka-sama! It!"

"It's okay, not yet, I'm fine"

I'll give Lumina, who finally got off, a gutsy pose.

"Heels!"

Lumina, she heels me on the wound.

This kid really can do anything.

"Phew, I won't block it!? Holy shit!"

Again, Lumina, you start looking at notes.

Uh-huh, what's that note?

While doing so, it looks like Yamatano Orochi, who had been blown away, got in shape.

They're looking at us like eight necks surrounding us.

The tail snake doesn't know when it's going to pop out of the ground either.

... Plus, fangs are poisonous.

Even when attacked with a large army, it's like an army over there.

Even if you attack on a party-by-party basis, the figures are big, tough, and every single poisonous attack is lethal. So this is pretty harsh.

"Yamatano Orochi... the legendary monster the kingdom of Ashitaka feared..."

After all, check the temple and run, but win?

I can't imagine defeating him.

I hope Till can do something about the poison...

Keep it that far, or it might be nothing...

"... I will never, ever forgive you!

Lumina, who had always leaned against me, turned to Yamatano Orochi and turned her strong gaze.

I even felt like I was half playing somewhere, but finally I mean it?

"-!?

Tingly, I feel magical fluctuations that sting my skin!

Lumina......?

Besides, I remember this.

"- Demon Eye, Liberation!!

There was an explosion of magic.
