Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"... Hey, sister. On Null's back...... haven't you grown anything?

"What? If you're the Demon King... how normal is that?

"Oh yeah..."

"Hmm. After the Demon King, the second form, there is no wonder that tentacles grow from the back. Lord Null... I went hunting with Lord Hunter and probably fought some pretty powerful demons..."

"Ugh, yeah...... (I don't know why...... when these two say it, I feel so frigid...... because we both say it seriously...... after all, is Demon King something with tentacles growing from his back......?

From the top of the cloak that was on my back, Lucia sees a null that is producing an unspeakable mysterious tentacle, with a look that seems complicated.

But before Waltz's prejudice and Teresa's words and actions, which were overridden with strange knowledge, she seems to have decided to convince herself that that is what the Demon King is.

Note that, I tell you, only in the world of games is there a transformation of the Demon King after the second form (?).

Ahead of them interacting like that...... well, naturally, Null, the owner of the cloak, and Yuki, the person who stuck it, and Atlas, who had time to cook dinner on it, each seemed to struggle to strip away the Invisible Jerry that he couldn't take by sticking it on his cloak......

"Hey, Null. Give up that cloak..."

"Yes, I don't like it! Give up this cloak... somehow, I feel like I'm going to give up on Boreas too..."

"(Then don't come running away from the country because you don't like to do the emperor...)"

"(If you go back to the country, you'll have plenty of spares...)"

and Atlas and Yuki, each with different meanings, but with the same expression they protested.

As for the two of us, we seemed to think we could just throw it away, but we couldn't leave the null as it looked like we cared about the cape...

"All right, Null. So how about boiling every cloak of it?

Atlas said such a suggestion.

In other words, let's cook (twist) every cloak.

A mushroom called a mushroom jellyfish can be described as one stone and two birds if it works, as boiling gives it its first toothy feel.

"Even if I boil my cape...... will it be okay?

"Come on? But that cloak, it's meant to protect you from the flames, isn't it?

"That's not all, but it does take a flame-resistant enchant"

"Then you'll be fine."

"Is it worth a try..."

and to Atlas's suggestion, reluctantly nodding null.

Thus boiled the invincible jelly from cape to cape.

Result.

"... nothing is different than before you boil it..."

"Looks like Enchant has protected the mushroom..."

"If you accept heat, you don't need an enchant for flame resistance..." Boso

"(That's just Yuki...)"

"(Ains...... are you sure you're a snowwoman?

As their conversation suggests, the enchant hung on the cape did not seem to have the characteristics to protect only those who were equipped, but all things if touched.

"When this happens, the cape won't burn. It's a critical firepower fire magic, and it's going to have to be broiled carefully..."

"Oh, I can't accept that, Ains! What if it burns and burns? It's a felony to burn a national chapter, right?

"(Don't go hunting in such a troublesome cape......)... but what do you do? I don't think it makes any difference that I'm useless..."

"Worst...... I'll wear it like this!

"" Hey... "

and two people who are gnawed at Null's remarks.

Apparently, if left alone, Null is going to really turn into a second form of appearance.

To those three, a hunter appeared who was preparing for dinner.

"What do you say? Any progress?"

"No, you can't. Sister Hunter, I couldn't help but boil it because of the enchant hanging on my cape."

"Right... well, fire magic burns or s"

"Please really stop!

"... well"

Such an exchange, a hunter who figured out how it went so far.

Then she...

"... Oh, yeah"

He came up with something, put his hand in a leather pochette that was on her hips, and took out a vial from it containing something like white sand, and said:

"Why don't you just hang the salt on it? Like pickles."

"" "Salt...?

"It's common, isn't it? Tentacle sea urchins, tentacle snails, hanging salt on tentacle sea urchins shrinks funny, he said. Mushrooms can also be salted and drained."

"Oh, I see."

"Sure, the cloak doesn't have an enchant for salt resistance..."

"Right. I've never heard of salt resistance..."

"Hmm... but"

Though it was good to suggest it, the hunter said there was something wrong.

There seemed to be circumstances specific to them traveling.

"You don't have enough salt to salt the whole Invisible Jerry..."

Salt…….

It is an indispensable part of cooking, while at the same time being the seasoning necessary for a person to live.

Especially when I was traveling, I didn't carry a ton of them because of the unexpected weight, other than purchasing them in a town I stopped by, because I had limited access to them.

Of course, if you gather the salt from the knights, you will be able to gather a considerable amount.

But consuming salt just to strip the Invisible Jerry from Null's cloak was clearly a fool.

There's no way I'm risking the lives of 3,000 knights to get my cape back.

Fortunately, however, there is both energy and potential here, so the choice to fly all the way to a nearby town and go buy salt, was never impossible.

You noticed that,

"... All right. Hey, why don't you go get some salt?"

"The salt in my hand, too, was just running out. It's a good opportunity, and will you buy me one?

"We... are we really traveling..."

"Sister Null... if you care about that, you lose, right?

The hunters can't go out because dinner is ready, but Atlas, Null and Yuki had time, so it seems they decided to head out to the nearby city to buy salt.

Where are they going like that...

"... North Fortress OK"

Looks like he's become a North Fortress rumored to have blown up among the Waltz.

It should be noted that Atlas was on another carriage, that Null was relieved to see Lucia's great output magic, and that Yuki had just arrived...... he may not have heard about what happened at North Fortress.
