"Sounds pretty pinchy."

"Dear Luciel, not if you're comfortable with it."

Milfine stuffed me with a very scary face, so I decided to start purifying it.

"Uh, yes. Do you want to purify it? Lionel needs to be on guard."

"I've been entrusted"

We had arrived at a Hatch settlement about enough distance from where we broke up with Ketty and the others.

... a big hive hanging from many trees and decided it was definitely in the Hutch settlement.

But I don't see the Hutch. The thickness of the visibility covered the area, so it will be purified.

The dark purple temper is more and more purified by magic.

"If we don't do something about the culprit, we're likely to deplete Master Luciel's magic," Lionel so feared.

I know that, but I couldn't figure out where the cause was.

"Milfine, can't you hear from fairies and spirits where the source of anger is?

Milfine answers by shaking her neck to the side.

"Neither fairies nor spirits will come near you if you are so tempted."

I'll answer that, Milfine, but when I realize I'm not feeling well because of the strong temper, I'll give you my robe.

"Well... I'm late to give it to you, but keep this robe around for once"

Thank you. I'll sit down.

Instructions are given where Milfine wraps her robe around.

"Lionel will protect me. Milfine speaks to the Hutch and if anyone comes out, gather information."

Lionel replied with a laugh when I gave the instructions, Milfine bowed her head and replied.

"You're always right."

"Okay. I'll be on my way as soon as I get the information."

I will hang the purifying magic to the Hatch nest.

At first, I assumed it was like steam from the bottom to the top, but when I crouched in just in case, I didn't have any chi.

So as I narrowed my choices down to the trees and the sky, I walked in a direction that seemed intense and kept purifying... "Ha!" Suddenly Lionel's voice was heard and he waved the sword.

"What's up...? What is this demon?

"Well, apparently you're having fun"

Lionel had set up a great shield and a great sword, suggesting to me that there would be more fighting.

The demon Lionel cut earlier was a half-melt undead demon who changed the fly to a dog-shaped size and looked like it had turned green.

"The only pleasure I have is Lionel. Pull over."

As soon as I hung the area barrier and unleashed purifying magic in the direction where the demons had popped up earlier, there appeared a supermassive slime and all sorts of demons that came from it.

"... slime is cuter, right? Isn't that obviously the boss class? Lionel, you have to stay dead at all costs."

"You don't have to be so hasty. Let me take it all down. The enemy is undead, a battlefield worth fighting inside. This Lionel is going to be Lucier-sama's shield."

You almost said you'd definitely come by now.

It's good because I didn't go in there remembering that Ketty and the others weren't there...

"I asked for it because I would be targeted at the time of purification."

I chant to the demons of birth, and when I unleash purifying magic over and over again, the undead and the others die leaving their bodies behind.

The slime that produces more demons than purifying magic is now smaller and smaller... what?

"Hey, wouldn't Theory Street make you smaller like this?

I felt that the supermassive slime was gradually getting bigger when I started doing something like solo photosynthesis, which creates a chi and absorbs that chi like air.

More demons and Lionel is happily hanging up, but my magic will be depleted if I keep fighting like this.

"Lionel will take care of all the demons."

Without listening to Lionel's reply, I began chanting as much magic as I could into my fantasy wand.

[Holy healing hand, Mother Earth's breath, I hope is a sanctuary circle that uses my magic as food and angels with shields of light wing purification to scorch all evil things and unclean things]

When a magic formation appears around a supermassive slime, the demons fly at once, but I trust Lionel won't let the enemy through.

In case they bit me, I told myself I could recover from losing a piece of meat, and when I activated the sanctuary circle, the slime added the usual blue and white light plus a red spiral. It completely covered the slime.

"High Heels"

As soon as I hung the restorative magic on Lionel with the chant discard, I hung it on the demons who had left more purifying magic.

Lionel didn't let me through the demons, but he was getting the price in his body.

"You can't do too much. Recover, Dispel, Extra Heel"

"Come on. I was in a rolling situation."

Lionel had one eye sharply lacerated, and his whole body was invaded and discolored by stones and poison.

Good thing I managed to heal my body wounds and condition abnormalities with my healing magic.

"Thank God I didn't pass the demon, but if Lionel dies, I'm in real trouble, so don't die."

"Oh. You're exhausted of ministerial profits."

"Ha ha, you're definitely not reflecting"

Lionel laughed nicely but looked all the way to where the slime was.

"You have an amazing number of demon bodies. The temper..."

"Your temper's slowly fading."

I guess the original chi was still that slime.

"Oh. So that slime... it's not slime anymore?

"That's an odd encounter. It looks like it to me, too."

We have no choice but to recover the pile of demons that were undead into a magic bag, hang the purifying magic where there is still a dark temper, and then get to the point.

"... Purifications Dispel Recover High Heels"

I roll in front of you... a woman who looked like a bee about fifty centimeters down? I hung a healing magic on it.

"Queen ~"

and there came a group of bees pushing over.

And an old bee man who stored a beard with a spear in it? has spoken to this one.

"Master Sage - is the Queen safe?

"Uh yes. This one will live. Sage than that?

"Everyone's things. The Queen is safe. We'll take you to the Queen's nest in no time. Sage, let's move the queen first."

"Oh, yes, please."

"Thank you."

The bee dwarves, about twenty centimeters long, cautiously held the queen and flew in the direction where the hive was simultaneously located.

"Dear Luciel, are you all right... I'm sorry"

Milfine came this way, and when she checked with me and Lionel, she poked her knee and lowered her head.

Yes, for some reason I started to get grounded.

"So? Why are you suddenly grounded?

"... because I did something that was unacceptable. I have no slave prints on me today."

No slave prints?

"The Spirit has told me that he wants my slave prints erased and this village saved"

Are dragons and spirits in this world too self-absorbed?

"............... so what's the consideration?

I guess there's something in return for taking this. But if it was malicious, Lionel or Ketty would have noticed.

"This is the talisman of this spirit. He asked me to give this to Luciel when he saved the Hatch tribe."

Is this development? Milfine gave me the talisman as she sat down and lowered her head again.

"... Milfine can decide whether to stand alone or return to slavery. Think well because if you return to slavery, you will be punished. So you're asking anyway, aren't you, Spirit?

Forgive me, my daughter, but only those who have a strong faith in me have ever been able to decurse slaves.

I knew you were listening. I speak looking into the sky.

"Then you should have told me directly."

"Then the Lord would have made his way to a great number of people, and then he would have made friends with confused people."

That can be said of anything. That's what I tried to say... but I thought it made sense. Even Lionel suffered all those wounds, no matter how many.

"... so what is this talisman?

There was another mechanical sound in my brain after I said it.

"Gained protection for water spirits."

Even here. Will I still get protection here?

"... the protection of the water spirits?

"The Lord will know when He has the protection of the water dragon."

The voice sounded somewhere delightful.

"... what about this talisman?

Don't get lost in these woods. Don't lose them.

"... when am I coming here?

"... I can't tell you that, except that the Lord will know despair, and if he still has the strong will to rise, he will visit this place again."

Despair? What do you mean, stand up? That abstract word of the Spirit made me anxious.

"I'm desperate! Hey, hey!

But then, no matter how many times I called, there was no response from the Spirit.

"Dear Luciel, if you don't hurry up to go to the Hatch settlement or go home, the sun will go down"

Lionel called out to teach me.

"... oh. What do you want Milfine to do?"

"Forgive me for returning to my slavery"

"Huh? Why are you holding me in slavery?"

"Luciel's slave is not a common slave life, and sometimes it's easier to move as a slave."

Lionel smiled and told me so.

"Just don't lie to me anymore."

"Yes."

I sighed as I watched Milfine rejoicing in becoming a slave this way.

He then began walking towards the settlement, thinking about what he would negotiate with the Hatch after this.
