Continuity is the Father of Magical Power

Mr. Elsie and Shelley came out of the room.

Apparently, we got along just fine.

Shelley's face, which was musty until just now, is softening.

It's just... why is Belle's face so red?

That face is what Bell does when he's embarrassed.

Was there anything embarrassing in the room?

Why don't you ask him later?

"All right, then, let's have lunch."

"Okay. I'll get Mr. Lou."

That's what Bell said when his red face couldn't quite fit in, and he walked into Lou's room right there.

Probably, as usual, Lou will still be asleep.

"Mr. Lou?

"It's the demon girl I explained yesterday."

I gave Mr. Elsie, who tilted his neck, an explanation for Lou.

"Ah, that he was an illegal slave..."

"Yes. Now, for once, I'm tying my behavior down because I mean criminal slavery."

"Really?"

Baan!

"Rice! Time for dinner!... Is that it? What's wrong with everyone? And the new guy?

Lou, who jumped out of great momentum, turned his attention to Mr. Elsie, who had never seen him, surprised us all in the hallway.

"Oh, it's Mr. Elsie who's going to be living here. Probably the woman with the most money in the country."

"Really? More than Leo?

"Yeah, I think so"

Probably, right?

If Gotz's embezzled money is mine, it's subtle.

That means Murdine money.

"Hehe. He's richer than Leo. Elsie, nice to meet you. I'm Lou. Call me Lou."

"Okay. Nice to meet you, Mr. Lou. By the way, I don't have that much money. Mostly, to Leo-kun's investigation... no, nothing"

Yeah? Something, I heard a bad word!

Absolutely, you mean you spent a lot of money stealing me or something, right?

Well... I'm not complaining because I can't talk about people either.

"Yeah, nice to meet you! And yet, Leo, what if it's time to refrain from getting your hands on a woman? Shelly might stab you next time, right?

"Ugh, yeah...... I'll keep that in mind."

On boulders. I feel like I'm about to get killed, too.

How many times did you apologize and forgive me last night...

Nothing, I'm not intentionally increasing it.

Will you be careful next time?

"So, what do you do this afternoon?

"I thought we'd all go see the underground. Now that it's a safe place, it'll be okay for Shelley and the others to come. And if anything happens, Lou will be safe."

I've already dealt with the remnants of the party.

It's a dark place, but you're safe because nobody gets in.

Well, for the time being, I'll go with the usual adventurer style.

"Can you go outside? Yay!

When I heard my words, Lou, caged in the room all the time, rejoiced faster than anyone else.

I was hoping I could eat dinner and gobble up in my room, but I knew if I was caged all the time in my room, would I be stressed out?

Stress is dangerous for Lou, so we'll have to figure out what to do later.

"Huh? Are you taking us too?

Shelley was the next one to react.

"Yeah. Let's go together."

Elsie and I don't have the courage to go alone here.

That's why we all came to the underground.

We were all walking around the vast underground space as we lit up around on the Wana Terrace.

"Wow. You were so big. How did you build a space like this?

"Isn't that magic? I used a bunch of wizards to make big holes."

"That's possible. Maybe it's an underground city built by ancient wizards."

"That's funny. Let me use it to promote this city."

An underground town created by ancient wizards... yeah, that's good.

"Yay. It helped."

"The idea that it was built using magic, because I'm the one, right?

"Yes, sir. Thank you both."

Shelley was about to get in a bad mood, so I immediately said that and stroked both of their heads.

Then, immediately, the two looked satisfied.

"True, it's a great place, I'm going to develop this place..."

Ms. Elsie was whining about that while being overwhelmed by the size of the underground city.

Well, sometimes it looks extra wide because it's dark and I can't see ahead at all.

"Right. First of all, could you magic all the broken street lights?

"Is that okay? It's going to be very expensive if you do all the magic equipment? Besides, when it gets this far, it's not enough inventory in the store at all, so I think that's going to take a while?

I've been thinking about it.

"Then let's raise a magician here. You'll be able to make magic in a week, if it's like a street lamp."

"Huh? I can't have a week on a boulder. It will take at least six months for a rookie in my shop to be able to make just one simple piece of magic."

"I know. But that's because one (...) person (...) is one (...) person (...) right?

"Because there's only one? Excuse me, can you explain what this is all about?

"Er... isn't the process of making magic fixtures a way of creating a demon cube, attaching demon stones to it in a good way, and making the outside?

"Yes. Right."

"It's hard to do this one by one. Craftsmen have to do all this alone, don't they?

"Right."

"But nothing, don't you think we could share and make it? We share each process and make it. That should shorten the time to remember and increase the speed of production significantly."

Maybe we can split the itinerary in more detail, not to mention the three.

The good thing about this is that it can be made cheaper because labor costs are lower than having artisans make it, right?

"Ha, sure...... Boulder, Leo, right? I get it. I'll make arrangements when I get home."

"Yes, I asked for it. First of all, if we don't do something about this darkness, we won't be able to start anything."

After the streetlights, you hire a lot of people to start a full-scale development.

"Right."

"Well, we'll just have to look around some more and then we'll go home"

"Le, Dear Leo..."

As I started walking, Belle spoke with a very anxious look on her face.

"Yeah? What's up, Belle?

Could it be that you don't like dark places? That's cute.

"Something... smells like a demon. Besides, there are so many..."

Yeah? What 'd you say?

"Lots of demons...... demons...... demons!? Wait a minute."

Finally, when I was able to confirm the situation, I panicked and put Anna on.

"Anna. Are there demons around here?

(Yes, you are. powerful demons summoned from the demonic realm)

"A demon summoned from the demon kingdom? Yeah? I've heard it somewhere..."

I wonder what it was...... It was very impressive.

(Do you remember? the magic item called 'Summoning Stone of the Devil' found in Dark Market City before)

"Ah! There it is! You're lying, right? You weren't broken? Besides, how did it work?

The other day, when I came to check, every store was broken?

Were you being transported somewhere?

(I don't know. Someone activated it...... Or is it a malfunction...... Anyway, hurry up and get into combat. The demons who have noticed the presence of Leo are approaching!

"You're already here!? They're all coming this way, so hurry up and consolidate."

(I don't have time to be transferring! I'm already right there!

That said, Anna showed me the silhouettes of dark, invisible demons in her goggles.

Wow! There are really a lot of demons headed this way.

Now, we weren't even dusty enough to be nervous, so each and every one of us is away there.

Sure, the demons will get here while they're all gathering at my place, transferring and doing it.

"Everybody, hurry up and consolidate! Lou! It's time! All the demons I saw were gone."

If I give up transferring, I'll fly directions to everyone right away.

First, I give permission to Lou, who can't use sabotage magic without my permission.

"Huh? Can I break it? Yay!

"If we take away the demon, say hello, Belle. I need you to protect the Shelleys!

"Hey. I'll fight you too! I don't like being protected anymore!

"Okay. Get some magic cover from a safe place."

With that said, I turned up and shot the glow magic.

Then... I could see that the appearance was surrounded by more vicious demons than I thought.

This... I'm glad you didn't use it before Shelley and the others started moving.

Probably because if you saw this, you wouldn't have moved with too much fear.

"Ha. I haven't felt this nervous in a long time."

With a dry laugh, he waved the two swords toward a large group of demons.
