Once inside the ten-level hole, it was a slightly dim downhill passage.

"It looks like Chrono and Sofia have found a new route."

"Is that the case?-At last, I could see the light."

"Ah, really!"

After a few minutes on foot, I came out to a large, bright room.

It's a bigger room with higher ceilings than any room you've ever seen.

Apparently, there is something that emits light in the trees that make up the room, and there is enough light to be seen from corner to corner of the room.

However, because of such a good view, something prominent was placed in the center of the room.

"Is that a box?"

A box made of dark trees and shaped into a rectangular parallelepiped sits in the center with Don.

Somehow it has a cage-like shape.

So if you look closely at what is inside,

"Oh, there's someone inside."

"Eh !? ... Ah, it's true!"

Lisa stares at it and raises her voice.

Among them was a girl with silver hair.

"-Yeah, after all it's Salamad! I was here!

Apparently, she seems to be infiltrated earlier.

Perhaps she heard Liza's voice, a girl called Salamad stood up and turned with a weak movement.

"... Well, why? Here?"

"Oh, good. I was conscious."

The girl in the cage had a wolf-like ear on her head and a wolf-like tail.

Certainly, according to the information, it is a lycan slope,

… But it ’s a girl…

It was unexpected because there was no information.

With that in mind, Liza was approaching the cage with Salamad.

"I'll go over there now and help. Please wait ..."

"--No, don't come."

But the moment Liza took a few steps, the silver-haired girl shook her head.

"Huh? Why?"

"This is a trap"

"Well, is that so? Is there a mechanism to generate monsters? But that's okay. Chrono."

"Oh, well, monsters are fine."

I walk out to Liza, taking out the seal.

"The monsters will no longer go back, because this freshman Chrono found the contracted stone like this."

Hearing Lisa's words, and being surprised at the sign of my contract, Salamad opened his eyes slightly.

And his ears on his head are jerks.

"How is this safe?"

Liza goes closer, saying that. However,

"It's terrible to find the contracted stone .... but no way. No matter how much contracted stones and monsters are avoided, the trap here is the Demon King's legacy. ……! ”

As soon as we approached the cage a few meters, the trees around the cage suddenly rose.

Immediately, it makes a noise and starts moving.

"Wow, Chrono! Temporarily withdrawal!"

"Oh yes, I understand."

But sooner than we can change, the trees will hit.

She bends at my face, bending like a whip. However,

"Ah, this is slower than the first demon spear."

Thankfully, this was avoided.

It only moved in a straight line from the hairline of the tree, so he managed to steer away and escape the range with Liza.

"Well, it was dangerous."

She whispered the sweat from her cheeks and called out to Liza, she was laughing like a tight laugh.

"Ah, yeah. It's kind of like I saw it someday, but ... Is there a difference in speed between the spear and the whip?"

"Yes, Liza-san, did you see it properly? Whip of that tree"

"That's right. Sure, you can see more than the spear sticking out, but I don't have the courage to say this is slow. Hey, Sophia-chan."

"Yes, I can catch it with my eyes, but ... how can I avoid it?"

I don't seem to agree with my opinion.

Well, it's a matter of familiarity, so it can't be helped.

And the important thing now is not how to avoid or how fast.

"In any case, that whip is still dangerous, so let's move the floor for now."

Eliminating the whip of that tree is the first.

That's why I drive "chain of control" on the floor.

Then he slid the floor with all his might. Then

"Wow ..."

At first, the cage seemed to be connected to the floor with the momentum of the slide. And

-Butchi.

Along with the heavy noise, the whip of the tree that grew around the cage was torn off from the hairline.

Then he collapsed as though he had lost his energy.

"Wow, the movement of the whip has stopped, and this can help Salamad."

"Yeah, ok, thank you, Chrono.-But the power of Chrono is really great for trapping or standing traps."

"That's right. I'm surprised at the installation system, and it's helpful to have good compatibility."

While saying, I approach the threaded cage.

"Eh ..."

In a half-broken cage, Salamad seemed uncertain about what he was.

… I guessed that I moved suddenly, so I got out of my waist?

Or was he weak in a cage?

Either way, it's dangerous to keep it, and I'll put my hand in the cage to rescue it.

"Can you grab it?"

"Yup……"

The thin arms of Salamad are tangled, and weak power is transmitted to my hands.

…… It looks like I should pull it up to see how weak it is.

I thought so, slowly lift it out of the cage and hold it with both hands.

The body was smaller than expected, so I was able to lift it.

She tried to fall on the floor, but Salamard stared at me at the hem of her clothes, shaking her beautiful silver eyes.

"Um, what's going on?"

"You are ... what is it?"

He tilted his head and asked a question.

It's hard to answer when asked "what", but should you tell us objective facts anyway?

"――I'm a normal demon, and are you going to be your junior? So thank you, Senior Salamad."

"A normal demon ...? I don't know a bit ...

It was not a treasure anyway, but he seemed to have succeeded in getting a senior.

I was a senior with a much smaller body than me.
