"Hey, Marie? I think you should just take a break...?

Migliana spoke in horror.

Sometimes her father plays an executive role in the Royal Palace, and Marie and Marisha have been dating for a long time.

Ever since I enrolled in the Knights College, I've been close sometimes to being on the same Princess Fiora unit.

But even with her like that, it's hard to speak to Marisha right now.

Once he had pulled up his exploration and returned to the safety zone on the twelfth floor, Marisha had been waiting for the Princess to return without even taking a nap.

It's been half a day since then.

After the two of us fell to the bottom of Nara, we surveyed the thirteenth floor with the four of us left, but we hadn't found a place that seemed like we could end up going down that cliff.

……

"If Your Highness comes back, I'll wake you up soon, okay?

……

In Migliana's suggestion too, Marisha is just silently staring down the stairs leading to the lower level.

"Ki, I'm sure he's safe! That Mr. Lucas is with us!

With that encouragement, but Miriana was aware that she herself had doubts about the word.

Normally, it can't help falling off that cliff.

Of course I want to believe that Miriana and I are safe... but I still thought it would be unlikely.

"For the next exploration, you should sleep at all now."

……

"Oh, hey, Marie? Where do you think you're going?

Migliana panicked as Marisha, who suddenly stood up, walked in a different direction from the tent.

It's down the stairs.

"Are you going to explore it alone? At least wait for you two to wake up!

He can't stand still anymore, and he's trying to get to the thirteenth floor by himself.

Miriana tries hard to convince herself to stop such impotence.

"No...... I'm just going to take a look. Don't worry, as soon as the demon shows up, I'll run away. You need to rest."

"He said he was worried even if he said so!

Miriana chased after him.

Marisha went down the stairs and to the thirteenth floor.

There was still so much space there that the edges were invisible.

It is the huge holes that make up the bulk of it.

Marisha tries to walk to the edge of that hole.

"Come on, let's keep it that way! Look, there's demons out there, too!

Now that there's only two of us, if we run into demons, it's dangerous.

Even so, the demons that appear here are only powerful enemies.

I just couldn't see it, and Miriana grabbed my shoulder and held Marisha back forcefully, that was exactly when.

A single demon appeared from across the cliff.

Griffon.

"That's why I told you! I'll run away!"

The two are still close to the stairs.

If we turn back immediately, we will be able to avoid combat.

Strangely enough, demons cannot come and go through the stairs that connect the hierarchies.

"Huh! Your Highness!?

Suddenly, Marisha screamed.

Migliana stops in a hurry.

"What are you talking about? Whatever you think, you're a monster, not His Highness!

Miriana seriously worries about Marisha, wondering if she could have gone crazy and even started seeing hallucinations.

Deciding it wasn't even a situation where she could fight demons, Miriana pulled her arm to take her home, even if it was not.

"No, Your Highness! Your Highness is on Griffon's back! And Lord Lucas!

"No, no, no, that's why -"

So Migliana finally realized that something was on the back of the impending demon here.

People.

Besides, he's waving at me.

"So, Your Highness?

Miriana accidentally raised her tongue.

◇ ◇ ◇

"... I can't believe there's going to be a day to fly in the sky on Griffon's back"

"Hehe, with this power, there's no creation."

At first I tried to escape using a transfer magic formation in the safe zone, but then I thought, "Maybe the Marishas are still on the thirteenth floor," and I still figured there would be no way to climb those cliffs.

As a result, the idea that came out of Fiora was this way.

Griffon, a flying demon, was handcaged with "mental manipulation" and put on his back.

Nevertheless...... isn't it a bit too tight to say that space is limited?

Mostly why are you sitting in the opposite shape...

Thanks to you, I have Fiora's beauty right in front of me.

"Oh, Lucas...❤"

"Wait, wait. Don't try to kiss me in this situation. Look, another individual is approaching."

The other griffons approached me looking a little confused.

That would be so.

The same species carries humans on their backs.

But when Fiora used "mental manipulation," she flew away somewhere with her little neck tilted.

"Is it something so easy to manipulate demons...?

"Oh, it's for your love."

I let all those numbers of low-level demons manipulate at once, and they're unusually powerful.

I don't think I just got a pseudo artifact.

"Because the power of pseudo-artifacts is proportional to affection"

That's even stranger, isn't it?

"Perhaps because my feelings for the hero in the story I've always been in love with have been directed straight to the Lord. Which means it's already matured for years at the moment."

... is that so?

In doing so, he had reached the top of the cliff if he noticed.

"Your Highness is on Griffon's back! And Lord Lucas!

"No, no, no, that's why - Your Highness?

There were Marisha and Migliana looking at me and circling their eyes.
