Thanks to Nina, I was able to seal off the distortion in the space where the monsters flooded.

That way, the rest is easy.

Work with the Fernbirds to kick the invading monsters while protecting the non-combatants.

It was troublesome because it appeared constantly and forever....

If we can stop the reinforcements, we're not just enemies of the monsters.

The monster's sweep is over in about 30 minutes.

Afterwards, under Erfin's command, I firmly sealed the door that runs through four layers to protect the wounded....

It takes about two hours to deal with it.

And... we're going to have to deal with the last problem.

"... well..."

The main members gather in Elfin's room.

Meanwhile, Elfin looked at Lean and Monica in captivity with a frozen gaze.

Lean trembles like she's under pressure.

Meanwhile, Sakura and Finia, who were watching the two of them next door, were trembling.

While knowing that it wasn't meant for me, it seemed like it kept up with Elfin's fear...

Even so.....

……

Although it is completely packed, there has been no significant change in Monica.

The colour of the rush doesn't come to mind, and it's not that I can afford it.

Is this part of the calculation?

Or is he being chased, but he just doesn't show it to the public?

I don't know what to do with it and I don't know how to deal with it.

"The series of disturbances is caused by these two humans... right?

"Yes, that's right. For a little reason... did you come here to disturb me, or did you commit a crime against the most powerful species, the werewolves and the immortals? I can't say that, but I'm sure I did it in bad faith."

"Hey! Don't say such horrible things to yourself... Look, we're friends, right? Hey, what the hell was that, just a mistake?

"Only the Canades are with me. Lean is different."

"This...!

Lean tries to fool me with her mouth, but she's not stupid enough to be fooled by something like that.

In one stroke, I bite my back teeth with regret.

Elfin asks.

"What do you think you should do?

"I have a lot to ask you. Not only about this case, but also about Kagne and... Arios. There are plenty of things to make clear. This time. I want to know everything."

"That's right... do you agree? Inquisition first. Do you want to burn it out after you've heard everything?"

……

It's a pretty radical course, but I don't intend to be different.

I've been doing what I like.

You've done pretty bad things without me knowing.

And... probably, but it was Lean who hurt England.

There's no way I can forgive you.

I don't want to save Lean's life, and I deserve it entirely.

It's true that it doesn't matter what happens.

"Eh, hey... seriously...!?

Feeling my quiet anger and Elfin's cold death, Lean panicked.

"I don't have to...! It's not so bad."

Yeah?

"I really didn't want to banish Rain!? That's just because Arios, Agas and Mina say it so strongly, I couldn't resist and didn't mean it!?

……

"After that, I didn't mean it! Bad luck, I don't know why, but it's like that... I don't know anything! I don't know!?

It was completely unexpected that such an excuse would pop out.

Of course, there is no way to overwhelm such a story.

I don't believe in the shards either.

However, there is no anger.

Feeling fatigued and disappointed.

Even though they are now stripped of their title, for a moment they have earned an unprecedented honor as a brave party.

There's supposed to be pride and stature in it....

But Lean keeps lying and making ugly excuses without shame.

I want you to be prepared, but that's an impossible order.

Really, it's not as different as before.

"You're an ugly man... should I burn you now?

Elfin said that because she felt very uncomfortable.

Lean trembled with a small scream.

I am trying to break the shackles of my hands and feet, but it is not a substitute that can be managed after a long struggle.

It was created by the Fernandos, so there's nothing we can do about Lean, a human being.

Not to mention, they're taking all their gear now.

"No, no... I'm doing more and more fun things here... Monica, help me! You can do something, can't you!?

……

"Hey, don't shut up and say something! Ehhhh!!!

Lean pushed Monica's shoulders to reply, forcing her body to move with restraint.

Then Monica falls as-is.

He fell... his body was like a fog, and he just disappeared.

"To...?

Suddenly, Lean rounded her eyes.

I don't understand what's going on, and we'll catch up.

"Maybe."

A little bit back to me, and I realized that there was a possibility.

"Monica... was creating her own illusion, and she was replacing it?

"What do you mean?

"I don't know how it works, but Monica can create illusions. And you can manipulate it freely. I thought I caught Monica, but maybe it was a mirage."

"I see, it's a nasty ability. Could this woman be a phantom, too?

"Fufu. Rest assured, Mr. Lean is real."

"Hmm!?

A voice rang from nowhere.

"That voice, Monica!?

"Yes, I've come to see what's going on here, but I think it was a good time."

Monica appeared in the corner of the room as to when she had been there.

The Canades are ready, and the Ferrows are ready.

However, Elfin doesn't give orders to attack.

Suddenly, you're alert to Monica's appearance.

"Monica! When did you get out?! I can't believe you left me alone!

"I didn't mean to deceive you. There's not much I can do here, so I'll do my job, and Mr. Lean will do Mr. Lean's. That's how we shared roles."

"Ugh, cuuuuu, uuu! And, anyway, help me now! Help me!

"Sorry, when you get here, it's completely packed. I have the magic equipment to transfer, so there's no problem, but I don't have Ms. Lean's share."

"No, what is it? You're abandoning me!? We're on the same side!

"Yes, I'm with you. That's why I'm here to help you last."

"Help...?

"Honestly, I didn't expect you to catch up this far. Best of all, knock two of the strongest species down together. At worst, we will stop Mr. Rain and the Ferrous. I was just about to... none of this went well, and it's a pretty headache development. So I decided to cut the last trump card. That's you, Mr. Lean."

"Are you kidding me!? How can you use magic even if you can't move in this state!?

"Rest assured. I've recovered Mr. Lean's gear."

Monica had a glassy cane hidden behind her back.

"So, what are you going to do with this state!? I can't move, but there's no point in having a rainbow crystal!?

"So rest assured. I'll support you... like this."

Monica laughs gently and disappears.

A magic tool for the transfer?

I hurriedly searched for it and noticed it was moving by Lean.

Hurry and try to seize it.....

But before that, Monica moves.

"Come on, Mr. Lean. Show me your power."

That said, Monica pierced Lean's chest with a glass wand.
