Do You Think You Can Run After Reincarnating, Nii-san?

◆ Azelea/Phil ◆

"Yikes!?

My vision was blocked by brown dust and I screamed unexpectedly.

"Ahhh already! It's depressing. Hey!

"He's gone that way!

As he dusted, Phil's voice led him to run his gaze, a mole-like demon scratched the stone on the wall.

It is a monster that spits like a smokescreen when the stones are scratched and finely chewed.

I can't wait to get my sight blocked again.

I ran through the flames of the Red Lotus.

The mole demon, who was en route to roaming the stone, softens up with an out-of-the-box cute voice when caught in flames.

Oh man......

Anyway, if you're just strong, I'm sorry to be so troublesome and depressing.

At the end of the room lined with statues of the Spirit was a ruin-like labyrinth (dungeon).

A complicated and strange road.

Demons attacking relentlessly.

It's a lot easier thanks to Phil's defensiveness, but when will it be possible to join everyone?

I said I don't have time to be cluttered......

"Hello -. Nice to meet you."

Phil crouched down beside the mole demon and talked to him like that.

Then, a mole that was laid back, crept up.

And he saw Phil with his eyes like he was one of us.

"Kicun"

"Okay! Your name is Wee!

Phil gives the mole that I've rubbed his head against the hand I offered him a name that I have no idea what it's from.

Phil's spiritual art [the indispensable dictionary] is something that you can talk to and hand nostalgic with non-human creatures, but it doesn't look like you can suddenly hand nostalgic with dungeon demons.

Something like dominance seems to be working, and Phil won't listen to me unless I beat him like this once.

At the same pace, Phil had handed out a few demons I had defeated and entrusted them with his enemies and battles.

"... that mole, is it useful? Strength is no big deal."

"Helpful. Yikes! You don't know anything about red-haired people, Wee."

"Ki-yun!

A mole held up by Phil...... er, Wee? sounds like a snort.

... Well, I can't even tell you how cute it is depending on what you see.

I'm not in a position to say that right now.

For once, at the moment, I don't mind because Phil is in time enough with the salamanders and golems he handed me before...

Really, I don't know how I can stay the way I usually do.

With the help of demons, we walk through a ruin-like labyrinth.

Sometimes along the way, this demon gets hit, but Phil replenishes the new demon after one grieves.

Sounds like the fast switching type.

... It's an enviable personality, really.

Eventually, I went out into a large space.

There's a big hole stuck in the way you go, and there's a thin stone bridge over it.

There was a door at the end of the crossing of the stone bridge.

"Why is there such a hole in the building..."

"Wow...... I can't see the bottom."

My spine trembles.

It's no use falling free twice a day.

That's what I thought, and as I stepped on the stone bridge to test my sturdiness, the door on the other side began to open to me alone.

Beyond the door, there's someone.

I instantly switched on the alert.

... It's a girl.

A little older than me.

He wears a flickering, social dress.

He had his golden hair wrapped around a cygnon behind his head.

When she comes out, the door closes quickly.

The girl in the dress smiled at us and bowed (Cartesy).

Never imitating the way things look, the graceful work that goes into the hall...

"Thank you for waiting."

With a smile on her face, the girl says in a soft voice.

"I belong to the Guild of Evil Spiritualists, my name is Adela Eitkin. The position is handed three steps while overstepping. Our King of Evil Spirits tells us not to let anyone pass us by... I will serve you both as a stranger."

For a moment I am taken aback by the declaration of obstruction unleashed on me.

I can't feel anything hostile.

It wasn't like a human being to fight a war from now on.

"... Hmm, three steps?

I snorted.

So just a little bit, reclaim the drained poison.

"The man who got tangled up on the ground said eight steps? Not five more than that. You're just trying to be enemies by yourself?

"No way. My role is to buy time"

"You're going to tell me in a clear light. That's not how they say it, and I'm going to be stupid and honest with you - you don't!!

I emitted a red lotus flame quickly.

Full firepower from the beginning.

Like a man on the ground, I'll finish you off in a flash!!

Red lotus flames approaching a girl named Adela in such a way as to cross a stone bridge over a big hole.

Adela smiled and remained smiling.

"Apparently they're mistaken -"

That smile.

For a moment, I switched to something awful.

"- In my guild, the number of (...) characters (...) in the step (...) is (...) small (...) y (...) ho (...) is (...) upper (...) what is it?

A flame broke out.

It's not just a flame.

It's like a deep, watery lake.

- The blue one, the flame.

A blue flame gushed from Adela's palm swallowed the red lotus flame I emitted in an instant.

In her luxurious dress, my flame hasn't reached a single piece of firepowder -

"... blue, flame...?

... Oh no...

Ugh... Shh...

Adela smiles and creates further flames.

Blue flame......

It is the highest of the flames produced by the [lights of dawn] -

"No way......"

My voice was trembling.

"Book Spirit Possessed (Roost) …?"

A blue flame swelled large enough to reach the ceiling burst towards us.

I can't move.

I don't care about hitting my own flames.

Here's the thing...... what is it?

Oh...... yes.

On a burning stone, water.

"What are you doing!!

They pulled my arm a lot.

It was Phil.

So barely returned to me, and I rolled down the ground with Phil, avoiding the impending blue flame.

It was one or two buildings of the house, a flame that could easily be swallowed whole.

Adela is producing it in the palm of her hand again.

I thought it was a big room, but it's too small to avoid that flame.

"Over here!!

"What!? Hey, you...!!

Phil ran with my arm grabbed.

Beyond that...

Stuck in the middle of the room, there's a big hole.

Adela flamed the blue flame.

It was at the same time that Phil pulled me and jumped into the big hole.

Just over my head, a giant blueflame crosses.

A sense of fall penetrated my spine.

"Oh..."

The mocking laughter of Adela's inclusions reaches my ears.

But I don't have time to worry about it.

I made my second free fall today to the bottom of a dark Naruto.

◆◆◆―――――――◆◆◆―――――――◆◆◆

At the bottom of the great hole was a river.

Me and Phil managed to grab each other's bodies, wrapped in cold water.

Barely face the water and leave yourself to the stream.

Moving on through cave-like holes for a while, my vision eventually widened.

It looked like a bell cave.

Elongated stalactites hang like ice columns from the ceiling.

We scratched the water and went up to shore with these bodies.

Slowly throw your body out onto the ground and breathe roughly.

"Ha... ha... Oh, my God, I don't... I do..."

"'Cause... ugh... oh, or I'm hit, I'm fucked... eh!

That might be true.

So you have a hell of a nerve jumping into a hole you don't even know if you have a bottom, this kid.

"Ahhh... Wee's the only one who followed me. Ahh"

"Cun."

The salamanders and golems I relied on were not around to see if they didn't jump into the hole, or if they were detached on the way to being flushed into the river.

Thanks to Phil holding it in his chest like a doll, only Wee, the mole demon, was flying water when he bumped around beside us.

"Ugh...... Where are you, here?

"It looks like a bell cave... but if you think there are ruins like a temple, I can't believe there are caves like this in its further basement. What's going on, this college... - Huh!

I sneezed.

My shoulders shake all the time.

My whole body was wet and my body was out of cold.

Although it was midsummer now, the bell cave was limp and it was visible that he would catch a cold and not be anywhere near restoration of the junction as it was.

I have no choice but to get warm for a moment.

We made an incineration in [Dawn Light], and the two of us wrapped our hands around it.

"Phew... It's convenient at times like this. Hey, this spiritual art."

"I don't mean to be replaced by a firestone."

Even at parties, I'm always the fireman.

My flames didn't work out to cook meat.

... So, what for...?

"How are you doing?"

Phil said as he stroked the back of the mole that was twisting the rock there.

"That girl. It was an awesome flame though. Why was it blue?

"... that blue flame..."

My chest became painful.

Push it to the bottom of my stomach, I go on.

"... the flames of [the lights of dawn] change color depending on their firepower. The blue flame is its finest. Polar ahead of years of training. Just..."

"Just?"

"... I heard Roost could suddenly use a blue flame from the beginning."

The girl who named her Adela was about a little older than us.

At that age, I don't think I can get a blue flame on my own.

If so, there is one possibility….

"... Roost or ah... Ji-kun, Elvis, and the Dean of the Academy... that's the fourth one."

Looking up at the stalactites, Phil said in a blurred voice.

"If so, I don't really want to fight. I want to take a detour, but what I've been waiting for over there means I have to go through there. Hmmm......"

"... how can you be so calm...?

Phil doesn't look the same as usual.

I couldn't believe it.

Didn't you see that flame?

My flame, it was like I couldn't stand my teeth.

You don't think anything about Roost being chosen to deal with geniuses?

Phil looks at me and tilts his neck properly.

"You mean more depressed? Because they're so strong?

"Huh... that's, well..."

"It's pointless, you know. Ji-kun said it before. 'Cause only in your spare time can you do meaningless things. You're not free now, are you?

... Oh, sure.

Now, I'm not free.

I have something to do.

The only thing that bothers me is that I have to wait until later.

Phil's words fell to his heart.

What to do now.

What should we do now?

My head starts working.

With that, the severe pain in my chest gradually came out of consciousness......

"-Oh, preteen too. Where are you?

A voice I remember echoed into the bell cave.

It's Adela.

You've been chasing me......!?

"I won't take you to life. You know the juncture is working - right?

Well said.

How long have you been attacking that junction by nullifying it!

"Burning fire, we need to put it out...!

"Oh, wait."

I suppose you thought you'd find out where you were, Phil, trying to extinguish the bonfire, and I took control of it.

"If I turn it off now, I'll leave that kind of information on when we escaped and how long we've been here. Besides, if you leave it alone, the lights might catch you. In the meantime we can escape."

"Oh well. Okay. Let's leave it like this. I'm coming, Wee."

Phil hugs the mole.

I was amazed at the speed of my judgment and even the words that came out of my mouth.

I feel calm coming back.

We left the burning fire quietly.

Still, try to distance yourself from the sounding voice and travel through the bell cavity.

"If this happens, the detour will be tough...... I still don't know how to get back to the ruins up there."

"Well... even for a while, we need to work out what to do"

"Can't you think of anything? Because he's the same spiritual user."

"Hmmm......"

I recalled what I had learned in the dojo of the Flaming God Heavenly Light Flow.

Speaking of [lights at dawn] weaknesses......

"... I knew it was water. Something hard to flame in the water."

"Is that it? Didn't you evaporate the water the other guy put out during the admissions test?

"We're talking underwater, not flying water. I can't let it evaporate because there's no flame in the first place."

"Then you just have to lure them underwater somehow. There's just a river."

"I don't know... The fact that the water is in danger is something that we all know if we use [Dawn Light]. I instinctively stay away from the water."

Besides, I stare into my palm.

"I could just drop it in the water, and then I won't be able to use the flame either. Do you have a hand in bringing him down?

"Ah, well. It's hard just for Wee."

"Cun."

As things stand, our maximum firepower is my flame.

You can't push Adela out of spirits unless you hit my flames.

"Then I'll drown you?

"You say something scary...... That's uncertain, too. He's older than us."

I guess it's no big deal if you're an adult and you're one or two years different... but for those of us who are only eleven, the difference in age is absolute, especially in terms of physique.

Though there are exceptions like Mr. Gawayne.

"You can only use my flames, you can't use flames over there - it would be best if you could push me into such a convenient situation..."

"What you're saying is impotent."

"That's right..."

I kept running as I pulled out my packed knowledge.

Then the surroundings had changed at some point.

Narrow tunnels, reinforced by walls and ceilings with wooden columns and beams.

Branched vertically and horizontally along the way, it's like an ant's nest.

What's here...

"... a pit?

"Kodo?... what?

"A place to dig resources out of the ground and mountains. It doesn't seem to be used anymore..."

It's like a maze, but you can't leave more landmarks than you're being chased.

We will continue into the abandoned pit as we try to remember the path as best we can.

Turning the corner about five degrees, the piled debris blocked.

It's a dead end.

"Has the ceiling collapsed? Wow."

"No...... wait a minute"

I was a little concerned and approached the rubble blocking the road.

This rubble...... is it burning?

"Maybe..."

Now I'm close to the wall.

Observe carefully and look at it with your fingers.

Not sure I can judge you for this......

"This is a coal mine."

"Tanko?

Leave Phil tilting his neck alone, I spin my head.

My eyes were sucked off by a mole held in Phil's chest.

"Operation... I might have thought of something"
