- Wang Du. At the same time Ain stepped into the twelve layers.

In a room in the Legal Department where the Minister of Justice, the Duke of Vols, stands for you. Dill had a cup of tea in one hand with one book of material in the other and was cleverly turning the page.

There was a voice on his back like that.

"Lord Dill Guard."

"This is the Duke of Forth"

"Did you find any information that His Royal Highness Prince Wang wanted?

"Well, what do you think"

The Duke of Forth hasn't heard anything from Dill. All he knew was that Dill had taken his feet in the investigation by order of Prince Wang Ain.

"By the way, I heard your Duke's son is leaving the Legal Department."

"Yeah, I'm coming to the royal castle next year."

"Be an apprentice with Warren."

"It will. Fortunately, the Chancellor gave me an election."

"I mean... you're the future prime minister"

"It should be appended to the end as a candidate (,). More diligent than Leonard, a gifted being may be unearthed from the wild."

Then the Duke of Forth reluctantly laughed.

"We hope that if as many delicacies as His Royal Highness Prince Wang appear,"

From the dill I've seen his efforts nearby, it's even unrealistic.

I don't overly admire Ain't, but when I thought about whether Ain's equivalent of a delicacy, I didn't deny the possibility, but I couldn't snort.

"- Do."

The last page of the dossier was finished.

From the look on Dill's face, it doesn't look like he had any information he needed.

Even so, Dill was satisfied.

As we explore, the Duke of Forth tells us to sickle.

"I can't allow you to take it out if it's supposed to, but you can take it home today"

"No, I've had enough."

That's what Dill said and put the material back on the shelf.

Then he looks at the watch.

I don't know, he seemed a little worried, but he bowed his head to the Duke of Forth.

"Thank you for your cooperation"

"Already home?

"Yes, Dear Ein, I thought I'd fly the message bird and then head to another job."

"Really? Please tell His Royal Highness the King."

"Yes, sir."

Dill, who broke up with the Duke of Forth, leaves in the hallway. I now understand the meaning of Ein's instructions, thinking about the material I had just read.

"I didn't know you'd come in that short time to make so many assumptions"

Ein was definitely seven when we first met...... no, he could have been eight.

He has been a sensitive boy since that time.

But I've never expected you to grow this much.

The orders given by Warren are full of wondering how they can be considered so far. from Ain this time. It also stirs up very similar emotions.

"Well... let's face it before we go"

We need to stop by the castle anyway.

I'm sure they'll point out that I didn't show my face to her first, but it was a minor issue.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

"Sooo.................."

Ain breathed as she lay her eyes down.

When you put your hands on your hips, you look away from the sight in front of you and look back.

"Aren't you gonna suck?

I pretended not to hear the chewing noise coming from behind me. Chris, eye-to-eye with Ain like that, says with a drawn grin.

"Is it the number of demons? Or... - Um, is it an unusual meal?

"Both."

"... right"

The large room with its feet in it was huge enough not to fit into the outer perimeter of this dungeon.

Even a few times bigger than the eleven layers makes no sense.

I'm not going to try to find out how it works, because this is now.

The problem is in a different sight, as Chris said.

The number of demons that are likely to reach a hundred are all demons very similar to example bugs.

The problem runs out of that all attacking each other.

One demon eats another, and one demon is desperately desperate to wield a sickle and survive.

Another one, another one falls apart.

Just Ain't no word for the way a swarm of demons quickly devours a body.

"Lord Marco, may I?"

"Whatever you want... things are just going to change"

At the end of his gaze, an anomaly is emerging in the bug demons.

The body of the individual who ate the fallen demon was being transformed.

To put it succinctly, my whole body is getting bigger. Sickles that reflect the light in a disastrous way are sharper. The lower body, reminiscent of the hundreds of feet, grows longer.

Continuously, growing individuals begin to eat together.

The victorious individual eats the defeated individual and transforms it into a further giant body.

And again - the same actions are repeated again.

When this happens, the rest is quick.

Soon after the birth of a powerful individual of one's own, the rest of the individual will only be preyed upon.

"... Dear Ein"

Chris called out with the willingness to still not deal with it.

As a matter of fact, Ein was watching because he didn't feel threatened.

Ts -.

I accidentally dropped a drop on my shoulder with my hand.

It's not like there's anything to look up at the high ceiling either.

I thought it was a rain leak or a water leak, but it's not where that happens either. Then I wondered a little bit about what it would be, but the intrusion would be water.

Because it's time to knock it down and go first.

Ain't got his eyes back on the sight he doesn't really want to see. What Ain't seen is a demon figure that's gotten huge a few times more than his original body.

"Big!?

"So Dear Ein... you should have knocked him out sooner..."

"Big is not the problem. The sight of those big bugs eating together was just a little shocking."

"Nor... are you okay?

Stupid question.

"It's okay."

I was never able to afford it.

Honestly, it's true it was a sight of disgust, but I wasn't alarmed.

Only, I wanted to be sure of what demons would be born ahead of that business, and the difference in power came with no fight.

- - Pichah.

Some vivid droplets drip on my shoulder.

Again.

When Ain touched his shoulder, there was water and air that never happened again.

"I don't know, this water"

I said as I pulled out my sword and then looked back.

What Ain then saw was the look of three surprised people turning to the demon.

To be precise, the gaze of the three is directed to the ceiling.

"Oh..."

It was Majorica who said it in a troubled voice, but Ain't got the situation figured out.

Return your gaze to the demon before you ask.

When I look up at the ceiling, I feel the atmosphere is not nice at all. From the ceiling, which has been relaxed by losing some weight, there is a bit of liquid dripping in momentum.

Of course, but the demons are also on guard.

"Sooo.................."

Breathe like the first, then one, two steps back.

It was easy to imagine a tremendous mass of water flowing out.

But it was almost at the same time that the line tried to escape.

The ceiling collapses vigorously, the spherical liquid falls and envelops the demons.

Water? No, that's...

"He's a monster! Master Ain, get behind us!

Marco and Chris moved forward.

Perhaps it was Slime who showed up.

Notably, its size and its digestion of insect demons in the body.

In the body of the slime, bubbles appear spicy.

But in a few seconds, every giant body was melted, and the bubble disappeared.

"Huh..................!

Marco steps deeper and packs the distance from the slime in an instant.

The color of the entire body of the slime changed as time went on. It was a steel color, and what a robust looking color it changed to.

The Demon Stone of Slime is at the top of its software. Jumping up, Marco tried to stick his sword out before the perimeter of the demonic stone turned steely.

Staggered sword and steel software.

Marco's sword protruded with the sound of cleaving iron.

(Looks stiff)

Ain was calmly analyzing it.

Because Marco's expression got a little cloudy.

But the demon stone could be broken safely.

You're a regenerator.

It was Majorica who said that.

"Uh... that regenerator is..."

"It's an old demon. Literature is scarce because of the small number of individuals."

"I just want to ask you once you destroy the Demon Stone, you'll be fine, won't you?

"The individual who destroyed the Demon Stone is breathless. But yeah."

Leaning her little neck and putting her hands on her cheeks, Majorica was creating an atmosphere of listening but declining somehow.

"Ally, even if the demon stone is crushed, it will regenerate when there is magic around it."

"Haha, Mr. Majolica.... you can't do that without man-made magic?

Don't show a lot of pomposity in here.

Remembering what was missing from Chris's opinion, Ein held his head unexpectedly.

"As Chris says, normally it should be. But the problem is..."

Yes, there's only one problem.

"There's no comparison between the magic in the air and the outside."

Here it is. Then how should we defeat it?

Crush by no skin? Or in some other way......

To Ain I was thinking. Majorica sets up a chase.

"Ah, Your Highness. I just want to tell you what I think is wrong, I'm just going to play back the number of demon stones that have been smashed."

Ain't kidding. Ain't got his head again.

Soon afterwards.

"Oh, my God, there's a demon."

"Calm down, it's not a good idea to attack too much."

"Fine! With our power, he'll crusade you too!

The voice of the adventurers heard from behind.

What came was multiple parties being explored by way of example.

"Sooo.................."

Ain't seen it a few more times, took a deep breath.

I'm retreating once like this, unfortunately, but I don't feel very safe about this.

The regenerator broke the ceiling and came down, which means he could leave this big room and come after him.

At the same time, the adventurers get in the way when the Ains wield their power.

"Mr. Majorica, is there a way to completely defeat the regenerator?

"I do."

"Okay, I've got a decision to make."

"Dear Ein... I'm looking up at the ceiling... are you sure you want to do this...?

"If you run, the adventurer's in danger, and you have no choice."

I am an adventurer in a profession that gives up my life, but I don't want to see my life taken in front of me.

That's why Ain decided.

"Marco!"

"Ha! I know you!

Thick tree roots arise from Ain's feet and extend over the collapsed ceiling.

"Shall we even use demonic perfume?

"… how many hours does it last, it"

"Maybe six hours..."

"Which means we'll be fighting for about six hours."

I can't replace my belly on my back. It's the perfect strategy to bring the regenerators under us.

I've had enough from now on, but Chris looks up to the twelve layers like he has no choice.

"Shall we go..."

Ain runs out to cut her voice off.

As I climbed the roots of the trees, I was swayed with demonic perfume.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

Six hours later, when the perfume ran out of effect.

Ain, who breathed that it was finally over, lowered his back in the great hall of fourteen layers.

"But enough slime already..."

"Chris... he's a regenerator, not a slime"

"Both are the same......"

Fluffy, Chris fell on Ain's lap as he reached his limit of health.

Eventually I hear a regular sleep.

Sooo... sooo...

He looked relieved, pointing his alarmed sleeping face only towards Ain.

"I wonder what that would be like in a position to serve."

"I don't care. Chris' position is complicated in the first place."

"Phew, it's complicated... it's complicated indeed"

"A lot of things."

Even in the sense of men and women, that trend is stronger than before.

And then it depends on Chris' blood muscles. Because she's not in a position to serve. But there's no way I can tell Majorica that, so Ein rested his body to heal his fatigue for now.

"Your Highness."

Karan Karan and a number of demonic stones that made noise and were dropped on the floor. They are all vibrant demonic stones of cobalt blue, with a refreshing scent as Ain breathes consciously.

"Want some?

"Eat"

"Quick answer, then."

One randomly chosen demon stone was handed to Ain.

When placed over his palm, little by little, the colour is lost.

"Oh, this is amazing. I might love it."

Aroma of sweet, savory fruit juice that cannot be said by the word quality fruit.

It also seems to mix a lot of fruit flavors, but the sweetness and flavor that most strongly stimulates the palate and doesn't stop is very similar to the melon.

Okay, Schwah! and also exciting.

The carbonation stimulation that reminds me of soda is pleasant.

The sobriety that comes out later is brilliant.

It also moisturizes nature and Ain's throat.

The tiredness so far seems to disappear.

"It looks delicious and absorbs it, Your Highness."

"Because it's actually delicious. Something like this… it's not the same as an assortment of extravagant fruits enjoyed at the Royal Castle."

If that's the case, yeah.

"Set up an umbrella on the sandy beach near the summer port town of Magna with a chair where you can lie down. A good, chilled fruit soda to drink overlooking the calm sea there......! It feels even more delightful because it's an excellent cup."

"Not the best. That's all you can accomplish."

"Right? Well, I've never done that on a sandy beach near Magna."

It's just an imagination, Ain't said that and laughed.

"Dear Ein, please stay and enjoy a little longer. I'll take care of the camp."

"I'll help you, too."

"This is... thank you"

"You can still rest. Marco's tired too, isn't he?

"I do have tiredness, but in my case, the power of my family has given me the help of Lord Ain. So I thought it would be more efficient for Ein to take a break."

I have to be convinced when they say that.

Majorica whistled that it was something I had come up with a lot in this moment.

Naturally, Ain also replied "OK", lost.

"Look, Your Highness, I'll leave you a replacement, so do whatever you want."

"... Oh, thank you"

I also feel comfortable resting next to the two of them working.

But until recently, Ain was the most active player in the fight.

The way the regenerator is defeated is simple and lucid, pulling the demon stone away from the body without damaging it.

This way it won't play.

I can't help but feel tired fighting the way I usually don't.

That said, it is also true that I have learned well.

"Ha... yummy..."

In the meantime, because of this, let me rest.

Looking at the dominant landscape of the camp, Ain put the remaining demon stone on his palm.
