The promised day has come.

A messenger from Archbishop Giovanni Burgundy visited at the end of the breakfast.

The messenger was carrying his first letter.

When checked inside, it was stated that they were allowed to enter the Donago volcano as scheduled.

Daiichi, who was already ready, started acting immediately.

About an hour after the envoy returned, Taichi was at the exit of Paris Stall.

The Donago volcano stands in front of the Daiichi.

Gray smoke rises from the summit, which is a fairly high mountain and is covered in thin clouds.

All right, let's go.

I'm going to challenge the contract with the salamander, but I'm not particularly upset.

At least on the way.

I don't know if it's actually going to go smoothly at the contract stage, but getting there won't be a problem.

Walk straight to the mountain by yourself.

Yes, I'm the oldest now.

Everyone else remains in the inn.

Not to go to the Donago volcano, but to deal with the setup that will happen in the city.

All Taichi has to do is fly to the city, so we can get there at once.

But the outbound route goes to the ground.

Because I don't know where the judgment element is.

Maybe there is a condition that you climb the mountain with your feet.

"Well... I don't suppose I can't make a contract."

Running fairly fast, blurry while running out of sight.

Eventually, through the woods, there was a killer landscape of soil and rocks.

That's an active volcano.

It certainly looked like Sakurajima in Kyushu from afar.

It is not shaped, but covered in green from the foot to the midsection, but only sparsely green from there to the top of the mountain.

It will be affected by repeated eruptions.

It's not hot here yet, but we don't know when the heat will hit us.

After staring at the summit for more than a dozen seconds, Taichi moves his legs again.

Eventually, I felt the heat like a volcano.

I was fine for a while, but by the time I got close to the top of the mountain, I had a pretty high fever.

That is why the temperature at which the hot water boils is well above that.

"Undine, Sylphie"

However, Taichi continued to advance flat.

Because Undine uses her power to sweep the Vale of the water and manipulate the wind to raise the heat.

Besides removing the heat, it was always necessary to take in clean air because it was a poison gas vault near the crater in the first place.

It is a protective clothing that uses the power of nature.

If we don't keep doing that, we can't get close to the crater.

Then we set up a complete system and approached the crater.

Looking down from the abyss of the crater, I saw a boiling lava.

The magma is quite sharp.

"Is this the cause of the heat?"

It is rising, but it seems that the eruption is not near.

"Well... I've come this far, but what should I do?"

At the edge of the crater, he accidentally twisted his neck.

It seems that Salamander has made this castle his roots.

Instead of being a human being, it's not a place where people can enter in the first place. It's a fire element around here.

……

I decided to think about it a little and speak up for a moment.

I thought it would not be good to give a bad stimulus to the crater, even if I could cast a spell on it.

I don't know if I can contain enough energy to explode alone, and the power of magic wasn't strange enough to trigger an eruption.

"Salamander, if you can hear me, answer me!

The sound of boiling lava was constantly rising, and the voice of the Daiichi was about to be completely erased.

But...

……

The voice of Daiichi arrived.

The middle of the lava swelled up, and a silhouette of people emerged from it.

The lava of the sphere rises slowly... and falls slowly without defying gravity.

When all the lava fell, there was a beautiful woman with red hair more than a magma.

Rich, straight red hair concealed his right eye and nodded even though the wind was not blowing.

The hidden eyes of the left eye are golden, filled with a light of will strong enough to be inhaled.

It only contains so-called swimsuit bikinis that hide the chest and lower body.

Looks like you're showing off that rich, beautiful limb.

I've been expecting you, boy.

The red beauty answered Daiichi with a strong voice.

"... a salamander?

"Oh, I'm a salamander."

Apparently she calls herself "me."

It must be one of the personalities.It's nothing to worry about.

"You need my help?

Ah.

The salamander, who received a voice that needed him, laughed.

"Very well. There's nothing I wouldn't lend you."

The thing is...

"But you can't just lend it to me, right?

"Oh, you know very well.I can't wait to talk to you. "

The salamander put his arms together in front of his rich breast.

"Sylvie was almost unconditional, but that's the exception.You know that, don't you?

That's true.

Mi, Normead, Dine and Undine have been imposing some sort of condition.

The salamander will have the same conditions.

"So, what do I do?

I was prepared for the conditions.

Rather, it is the content that bothers me.

I see. I've got some for you. "

"Is there more than one?"

"Who decided not to do it without one?

When I was told that, there was no word to return.

I couldn't help but shrug my shoulders, and the fat one pushes the tip.

"Okay, let's start with one."

Salamander snaps a finger.

"First, I want you to be able to use our power more precisely."

I see?

That's exactly what we need.

Now that I realized that I was lacking in strength, I definitely wanted to improve it further.

No, I just thought I had to.

It's a trial to help.It's where I want it.

"That's the second challenge.There's going to be an incident in the city, right?

Salamander turned his gaze to the city.

And beyond that, Paris Stole.

I was able to grasp the whole picture because I was looking down from high ground.

Of course, you can't see the details in detail.

Even with the best magic enhancements.

An incident in Paris Stall.It's about what Giovanni thinks he's up to.

Salamander was involved, so it wasn't strange to know about it.

"You can only help me once."

"Only once."

That's pretty tough.

"Don't move from here.I want you to complete these two trials first.The rest of the trial is over. "

"... really?"

The difficulty of the trial has increased considerably.It was suggested that the difficulty has increased and there is something other than what has been presented.

"You can't solve the case on your own.What you can do and what role you can play.Think about it and try it with your power. "

"... that's tough."

When Daiichi unexpectedly fell, Salamander leaned forward with his right hand against his hips.

Then point your left index finger toward Daiichi.

"What are you talking about?It won't be easy, but it won't make sense. "

"That's right."

Trials that can be easily completed are not called trials.

It's just a task.

You won't even have a sense of accomplishment you've cleared.

"Here we go."

I looked at Paris Stole.

"What the hell?"

Then I saw a purple film spreading over the whole city.

The membrane covered the city thoroughly and spread further and further, and eventually stopped at the foot of the mountain.

That's what they look like.

"... what does that membrane mean?"

Saana

Salamander said impatiently.

I don't think you can tell me even if I ask.

Or maybe you just don't know.

"Well, that membrane is not the limit of defense.You don't have to worry about supporting an attack or breaking in. "

That would be good news.

"Leave it to your people and do what you have to do."

"... oh, I see."

Yes, it is.

I am concerned about the city, but the fat one must face what is right in front of him.

Salamander is pretty tough.

It seems that this won't be over for long without tightening it.

For the first time, Paris Stole consciously drove him to the corner of his head, and Taichi thought about what he could do.
