Viktor doesn't answer anything. I peek under the cliff. If it falls, there will be no life.

The blood fades. Sweat soaks up your hands, slowly taking a deep breath to calm your heart.

My magic tech might be tough, but I have to try.

"I'm angry."

Viktor muttered something, but now I don't know what he said, concentrating on himself. Leon was dealing with Viktor.

Mainly?

“No, I'm annoyed.... even if you're younger than me."

"... do you like it?"

Viktor smiles bitterly at Leon's words.

"I'm sorry for the woman who pushes my ideals so hard."

"I'll leave you to it."

I interrupt Viktor's conversation with Leon. At the same time that they turned their gaze towards me, I cast a spell on myself.

The magic of getting past the ramp and becoming a learned animal. It turns into a pitch-black bird. They rolled their eyes at the sight.

"The color of my eyes is just like that..."

"This is a very expensive bird."

Viktor opens his mouth after Leon. I ignore them and go down to Maddy.

I've never been a bird before, but I've been able to fly more easily than I thought. Fortunately, there is no strong wind. I remembered Liz a little while I was flying.

Her magic might have made it easier to get Maddy. This is how I can only reach directly into the tunnel and take it.

Sometimes they call me "genius," but I crawled up here in a madness. Well, it was because it had magic power. Even so, I knew enough not to be beaten by a true genius.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Viktor's words returned to me in a haphazard manner.

Now I have to concentrate on what is right in front of me.

... take Maddy out of contact with the thorns.

I can cast more magic on my body and make it smaller. It transforms into a small bird that will be destroyed in an instant in this world of weak and powerful predation.

I proceeded carefully into the poisonous plant. For the first time, Maddy smells sweet and paralyzed. My head is a little rough.

I will not lose myself to Maddie's roots. If we can just cut Maddy loose, we can do something about it.

I was able to change from a small bird to a small squirrel by casting magic on myself again. I let out a sigh of relief.

I've never used magic so quickly.

It is quite difficult to change from animal to animal. Maybe it was because you put pressure on yourself not to fail.

... people grow in adversity.

Your awareness is getting a little confused, and you're biting into Maddy's roots. My teeth are stronger than I thought.... we can cut it off right away.

"Something suddenly plain..." I'm glad Viktor and Leon didn't see us. Something I don't want to show you.... I like cats better than squirrels.

While thinking of such nonsense, he desperately bit off Maddy's stem.

"What has he changed from a bird?"

Viktor and Leon are watching Alicia on the cliff. For the time being, I was relieved that Alicia, who had become a bird, had passed through the poisonous plant.

Leon leans back at Viktor's question.

It's a small animal, isn't it?

”... even those old people don't use magic like this”

“What do you mean?”

Usually, if you use magic multiple times at the same time, you'll faint.

Leon looked back at Maddie with his eyes wide open. From here, I can't see Alicia in the blind spot.

"... Well then, the Lord..."

"It's a monster."

Viktor's low voice echoed quietly.
