"There is another territory as Viscount Castra besides this forest and the labyrinth. That's the Dormire, the home of Iris."

"What!?

Our village, too, Mr. Letterio... was the territory of Viscount Castra? I had no idea that, and yeah......!? So Mr. Letterio is the lord of my hometown?

"Iris, Iris, I'm surprised to see you, but is it harder to get closer to the Duke's house?

"What...? Yeah, but... the Duke is too far away for a little closer lord... to be realistic."

Me, you were nervous about offering handmade bread to the Marquis Venesti, but you also fed your hometown lord slime...

"That said, I'm not doing anything in the Dormire right now. It's essentially like Venetian territory. Maybe Castra territory is a place for the keeper to protect. So I'm sure the Dormire Volcano..."

"Oh. Well, that's what I mean by shaking..."

The Princess's Spirit of Fire (Salamander) used too much power with a seal to heal in the volcano... maybe she fell asleep.

"So Ignis is of that flaming dragon... offspring?

I saw Ignis. I'm on Mr. Letterio's arm and I'm happily waving my tail, circle-eyed, this little Ignis...? Descendants of the Flaming Dragon...... really?

"Also ~ Iris ~. My mom said ~ dragon ~?"

"Yes, I said...!

I did say that before this! But wait, could that be...?

"Ignis, no way is the Princess's Flaming Dragon..."

"It's my mom ~! Probably ~! So - I'm glad Flaming Dragon isn't a bad kid - I said - kufu ~"

Oh, well.

If you try Ignis, if you are the princess Flaming Dragon = Mom and they also say it was the Flaming Dragon that attacked Mr. Bardo... that would be scratching.

"Are you sure it's your mom?!? Awesome. Lurus, I want to see Ignis' mom!

"Murray ~"

"Huh? Why? Ignis."

"Is Mom still asleep? Did Ignis wake up first?

"Mm-hmm... I don't know...?"

I don't know...? I wonder what that means. Isn't Ignis with his mom? Yeah, but I never heard of a flaming dragon in the Dormire volcano... and there was a temple dedicated to the Spirit of Fire (Salamander)...?

Is Ignis saying "I don't know" because it's a secret as a spirit, or do you really not know... It's so hard to snoop through those adorable black eyes.

"But what was the Flaming Dragon that Fukuchi fought for?"

"I don't know. I'm not sure about that either. It's just... that was more of a monstrous sign than a spirit."

"Some dragon demons. Tiny over there? Flaming dragons are rare..."

If you consider the "Spirit of the Moon" to be the labyrinth of the nucleus, which prefers beautiful and rare things, it may be without. Even the third layer of Bold Wings (Haritateha) is a very rare butterfly.

"Besides, if it had been a fiery spirit (salamander) with so much power that it could be sealed, not only me, but the team would have been wiped out. Must have been charcoal extinguishing in an instant."

Hahaha! and Mr. Bardo laughs but not at all. It's frightening that it's charcoal extinguishing.

But - it sure is.

The only way to quell the labyrinth anomaly is to find the Spirit of the Moon (nucleus) that escaped somewhere and seal it as the labyrinth nucleus again.

I'm sure it takes a lot of magic. The Spirit of the Moon was powerful enough to be the princess's covenant Spirit. The Spirit of Fire (Salamander) also used his power to sleep against him.

"We need to find the Spirit of the Moon fast..."

"It's rare for silver hair, so I think you'll find it soon. Iris has silver hair, but she's just different."

"Also, of course! You're a human being!? Me!"

I have parents and older older older brothers in my hometown. The Campanella family is a man firmly rooted in the village of Dormire, which also has many relatives. But this hair does stand out. I'm the only one with this kind of silver hair, both within relatives and in the village, and in the first place silver hair is the color of a small number of hair that is also a hallmark of royalty.

"Perhaps it was just the time of the festival. We're checking the city hard, and the Knights are out on perimeter security. So is silver hair, but spirits are such a piece of magic. uncomfortable and you'll soon notice."

"Right. Rumors like what was in the" notebook "haven't come up yet, and you seem to be lurking nearby. Have them look for you in the Knights via Lamberto."

Didn't the notebook say "Man's Witness Ant in Perla, South Sea City a few days ago" or "Daughter Dyed in Silver Hair Caused Injury"? I wondered how to find it, but maybe I should look it up and go, like the princess did.

Besides, the information network should be more developed now than it used to be, and it looks like we can work with the Knights... Spirit of the Moon, surprisingly soon we might find it?

"Ugh! Still, silver-haired maidens, flaming spirits (salamanders), even knights! You're touching the same face that the princess was two hundred years ago!

"Right. Maybe you don't have to worry about it."

When the head laughed and said so, everyone nodded as well.

"... Huh? Worried...?

Besides the Spirit Finder and Seal of the Moon...... anything yet? And I looked up to Mr. Letterio next door. Mr. Letterio then blinks his eyes away from me for a moment and clouds his mouth.

"Chitty! Iris. Hang on, will you?

"Couscous! You're Ignis' contractor, aren't you? Ignis would have been the most involved in the anomaly that's happening in the labyrinth right now, right?

To that word of Russ, I still stared at Ignis riding in Mr. Letterio's arms.

"Yes... but saying the same Flaming Spirit (Salamander) would be too magical for Ignis and the Princess Flaming Dragon, wouldn't it?

Even if Flaming Dragon was Ignis' mom, yes.

That may be taking over the quality of magic and basic abilities, but the Princess's Flaming Dragon and Gunnis are not the same.

"- Maybe Leg and Russ, Mr. Letterio, Mr. Bardo and the lead think Ignis should make a seal...?

No way.

Once the successful Spirit of Fire (Salamander) is sealed, we know that the success rate is high.

"But Ignis is still so small, and I'm sure the magic..."

"Are you sure about that?

The head pinched the words.

"Iris. Did the wand you hold turn out to be the result of that little Ignis smashing his magic? Three years ago, a new American apprentice alchemist and a freshly contracted spirit crystallized a wand tree like a demon stone. I'm sure Ignis has a lot more magic than you think."

- No way.

I stared at Ignis, who turned this way.

Ignis was such a powerful spirit...?

But Ignis, he's always been with me on easy formulations and all that stuff, and he's amazingly clever, and he uses unusual magic... because he's started doing that lately.

"Iris?"

"Maybe... because I was the contractor on the apprenticeship, so Ignis wasn't able to use his powers? I..."

- Half a serving, so Ignis wasn't able to use his original powers?

The contractor and the covenant spirits suffer magical interference from each other.

Because if we don't get interference, we can't use that power to exercise magic together or anything.

"Generally, contractors and contract spirits have equal magic power. I don't know if you and Ignis are or aren't, but given that cane and potion-effect bread... I'm pretty sure Ignis is a substandard spirit"

Sure, that's true...

"Iris."

Mr. Letterio pounds on my shoulder, staring at Ignis' little head and leaning over.

They just called me a name, but that voice said, "Are you okay? I don't have that much to worry about," I felt like you were saying.

Then Ignis, too, flies sweeply in front of my face and laughs with his mouth wide open.

"Iris? Me? You're praised for being amazing? Why do you look like that?"

Such a face, and Ignis strokes my cheek with those little hands.

"Because I'm worried about Ignis..."

I know Ignis is an amazing spirit.

High magic, high quantity, I certainly felt that way. My skill just didn't convince me.

"Because they're bad spirits, aren't they? And I'm not sure if there's even a flaming dragon. I can't believe Ignis has to confront that... it's dangerous!

"If you can help me, I'd like to do it for you."

"Iris, I want you to do me a favor, too. If Ignis can help me track the moving nucleus, I don't have to seal it, I think we can fight something."

"Mr. Letterio......"

That's...

Yeah, I can see that, too.

Because it was the Flaming Dragon of the Flaming Spirit (Salamander) that originally sealed the Spirit of the Moon.

It was full of flaming magic in the depths of the labyrinth, it was similar to my wand that the cage in the deepest part made with Ignis, and the more Ignis went to the depths, the more he said, "The flaming magic is too strong - I'm not sure -" and now that I know the truth, it's all natural.

'Cause if the magic that was full of it was Ignis' mom's, it's pretty much the same thing as Ignis's.

- The quality of magic is well likened to ink dissolved in water.

Even if you drop a similar color into the water, if you mix it up, it becomes almost the same one color. It does look very, very similar, although it is a different color.

So deep, wrapped in very similar magic, Ignis must have blurred his own boundaries of magic and paralyzed his ability to detect other magic powers.

"Ignis, I'm worried. Don't push me. Please..."

I hope you don't sleep to rest your body, like the flaming dragon that was in this notebook.

I don't want you to wear out as much as you do that. Absolutely not, I don't want you to.

"Iris - I'm fine -? Because I knew I was a strong, fat dragon mom's kid!"

That being said, Ignis puts his chest up and puts a small flame out of his mouth to show off.

But I can't live up to that smile.

Because, because. Ignis' mom was not in the mountains of her hometown. I've never met him, and when I think of Ignis' "I figured out I was a strong, fat dragon mom's kid!" I imagine Ignis' mom is gone now. Maybe he stays asleep. Two hundred years later.

My mom... Where did Flaming Dragon's girlfriend go leaving such a small Ignis? Could it have disappeared or fallen back into deep sleep again? My chest is about to get ripped off when I think of it that way.

'Cause that could be the future of Ignis, who helped for the labyrinth, right? I would never let such a small, so cute Ignis do that at the convenience of the contractor (me).

Yeah, I won't let you.

"- Mr. Letterio. Let Ignis join us in exploring the labyrinth."
