Side: Meldy
"Mr. Meldy, it's okay!?"
"Ha, ha, but I'm at my limit already!
We are now desperately fleeing the impending flames. Stamina is not very expensive among the Cat Beasts.
I don't like it when people usually say I look like a cat, and I try never to attach "nya" or anything to the end of the story, but in an emergency, I get out with my old habits.
"Mr. Meldy runs away because I will stop the flames!
Suddenly, Rifa stopped and faced the flame.
"Rifa, I can't! Run!"
I try to pull Rifa's arm and take her, but I don't try to move at all. Rifa began to build up her magic.
"Windwall!
It created a wind defensive wall and put an end to the flames looming upon us. The flames are no longer approaching, but with the wind stirring them up, the flames are clearly gaining that momentum.
"Ahhh! What are you doing? The magic of Rifa won't put out the fire!!
"Wow, I know! While you're at it, Mr. Meldy needs to run."
"What will Rifa do!?
"I will put an end to the flames here. I let Dr. Tina know with a whistle, so she'll be here soon."
"I can't keep this much momentum from the flames all the time!
"This has happened because of me. I have to protect Mr. Meldy at all costs!
"Then we'll run away together!
"Mr. Meldy, you can't run anymore, can you? So go quickly!
This guy, this guy, he's never gonna break.
"Ahhh! Oh, I'm sorry!
"Ugh!? What..."
I dropped my knife after Rifa's neck and stunned her. Hold the rifa down to the ground aside and run out at full speed.
"Absolutely, later, you can take me all you want to eat cake. Ahhh!
The limits of the flesh have already been exceeded.
I magically force myself to move my body.
I didn't want to use it because I couldn't move for a couple of days when I did this, but I can't say four or five right now!
We continued to make every effort to escape the flames that gained momentum because of Rifa's magic.
─ ─ ─ ─
I saw someone up front after a while of running.
"" What, Mr. Meldy?
It was Mai and May.
"Both of you! Running away! Flames coming!!
"What... also, the forest is burning"
"My, that flame, I can't operate it!?"
"I can't! Maybe that was the Flaming Knight's earlier. That flame, you don't listen to my orders at all! May is the water magic that can't handle it!?"
"I can't! The woods are burning, aren't they? That flame, you have to bring the Leviathan class or you won't be able to put it out!
"Bye."
"Yeah."
"" Run!! "
"" "Wow" "
Mai and May go ahead and continue to escape in the form of us chasing.
Then I kept running for a few minutes.
It's really the limit now.
I'm running out of magic too.
So far?
─ ─ When you think so.
"Meldy, Mai and May. And Rifa...... what's going on? Is Rifa okay?
Hart was there who could follow the yoko.
"Ha, ha, ma, when the demon attacked me and Rifa magically responded, the demon exploded and the forest started burning!
"Is Rifa passed out after being hit by a demon?
"Oh, no... Rifa says he won't run, so we hit him and stunned him."
"It is. Well, Meldy, the tail looks like a cat."
That's what Hart laughs at.
"Aah! I'd better run than that already!!"
"" Yes, let's get out of here!
The flames were so imminent.
"But we're all tired of running this far, aren't we? I'll put out the flames. Everybody rest."
-What?
Hey, what are you talking about?
The woods are burning, huh?
You can't turn it off with one magic.
Hart stuck his hand forward and began releasing magic. That magic shapes the magic formation.
"High-place magic, huh?
Are we going to extinguish the flames with the high magic of water attributes?
"Aqualance!"
Behind our predictions, Hart performed his elementary water magic chant.
"Primary magic can't put out a fire flame!!"
─ And I tried to get into it, but something was wrong. No magic formation is needed for elementary magic in the first place. The magic formation was also in strange shape.
It's like what you use to summon magic.
Suddenly, massive amounts of water overflow from Hart's magic formation. Out of that water emerged a beautiful woman with a trident spear in her hand.
"Hurt. Long time no see."
"Oh, it's been a while. How have you been?
"Well, well. I've missed you lately."
"Sorry. Sorry."
Hart and the beautiful woman are bickering.
While we were doing this, we were surrounded by flames, but the water coming out of the magic formation formed a dome around us to prevent the flames.
"Oh, uh, what if it's Master Undine, the Spirit King?
May spoke to the beautiful woman.
"Oh, isn't it Master Mai and Master May? How are you? How's the human world? Have you found a potential contractor?
Mai, the beauty May and Hart summoned seemed to know each other.
"No, that hasn't happened yet though. Um, what if they have a contract with Mr. Hart?
"Exactly. Yes! If the contractor hasn't decided yet, how about Hurt?
"" Huh?
"This one's strong. We had a good fight with the Sea God."
"" With Master Poseidon!? "
"Oh, I fell in love with so much strength, I signed up for a contract from me"
"" What? "
"Hurt it if you haven't decided on a contractor yet, but it's good. I recommend it. I'm sure your Father will be satisfied."
"" I will consider it positively ""
Something, I don't know, but I found out Hart was awesome.
While doing so, the water overflowing from the magic formation was spreading from the dome to the woods on its own, putting out the flames of the trees.
Both our fatigue and the rifa we stunned earlier made Hart recover.
"Rifa, I'm sorry about earlier."
"No, I wasn't calm either. Thank you for bringing me so far."
"I'm glad we're both safe. By the way, what was he like when two people ran into each other and the demon that caused the forest to burn?
Where we settled down, Hart asked.
"Perhaps this (...) I (...)?
Master Undine brought a mass of flames trapped in a water cage.
"Ah! That! That's him!!
The mass of flame to which Rifa refers was in the form of a knight.
