Nine levels were also desert areas, so it was natural to break through using the same method as the previous floor.

And the ten levels we visited.

There was a neat little space.

For the first time in two levels, it has the shape of a temple saloon, but the difference from the second floor is that there are no golems around.

Or rather, there is no sign of the enemy.

On the contrary, in the center of the room, "Intermediate break point. The transfer point is here. "

"Is this a trap ...?"

Asking Sofia, she shook her head with a difficult expression.

"Hmm, how about. I can't hear the sound of traps in my ears."

"I also tried to detect the magic of the surrounding area, but there was no such reaction."

It seems unlikely that Mithra is particularly threatening.

And starting from her report, other members of the super special advance class,

"Nothing is moving except us. The slime vibrations that I can't even feel are magical, but Mithra denies them."

"I agree, the temperature and environment around here are stable. I think it's safe for a dragon who is sensitive to temperature changes."

That's the number of minutes we share our opinions.

As a result, the probability of the trap is extremely low, so we decided to trust the words on the sign.

"Well, it's definitely two levels left. I wanted to have the last supply and it's just the right time."

"Yes. Well, let's have a lunch box from Yukino. Let's serve it.

"Oh, yeah, so let's all eat here."

So we decided to take a break from the meal for the moment.

"I've started this kind of special dungeon, but it's interesting, but it's a bit tough."

"That's right. There are a lot of difficulties, but you can survive much better than the Demon King's dungeon."

Mithra watched the sandwiches received from Sofia in the hands of the super special class, who talked lively while taking a break like that.

"What happened, Misura.

Chrono came next to Misura.

He looks at his face with a worried look.

"Well, it's okay, but not only Chrono, but the people in the super special advance class were terrified and surprised."

Chrono exhales, saying, "That's fine, then." And

"Well, that's exactly what Mithra says. Everyone is so brilliant that everything goes so fast. I'm surprised."

"I don't know if Chrono says it, but it's kind of weird, but ... yes, he's just broken through the nine levels so fast, and he's already in the double digits. And I couldn't imagine if we were a while ago that it would be time to eat rice in the dungeon. ''

There are so many people who can cooperate with us. It's time to dive into the dungeon while chatting and joking.

I didn't even think before I came to this castle.

That's why it was really fun now.

It's the same with her sister, Aria, who laughs happily with her classmates in front of her eyes.

...... Aria is originally bright, but if you dive into the dungeon, it will be a little quieter.

But because I can be with myself and with everyone, my tension is high.

Yes, Mithra really thinks that it would be fun to dive into the dungeon, but it would be fun to capture with everyone. However, therefore,

"Chrono-kun. I want to tell you and everyone, can I have some time?"

"Yeah? I guess it doesn't matter. I mean, the room is small, and if you talk here you will hear it."

"Yeah, let's talk a little."

Misla rises as soon as her sandwich is flattened. And

"all"

I called out.

Then, the people of the super special advance class turned to this alone.

Mithra continues her words, thinking she is a grateful human being.

"Everybody, listen carefully. From here on, I have no experience with me and Aria, so I have to pay more attention. I need to put my strength in. , I know it's a total of 12 layers, but the map at that time is lost and there's no information ... I don't know exactly what danger is waiting. "

It may be full of traps that are worse than higher floors. More ferocious monsters may appear.

Misura asks everyone because of this danger.

"Don't hesitate to say if you're sick, tired, or sick of trying to capture it, because if you lie down enough in this dungeon, you can escape and you're safe now. "

I don't want you to challenge yourself and get hurt.

That's why my important colleagues asked.

It's a terrible thing just to get along so far. I think that people who want to escape here may come out. However,

"Ryokai Ryokai. If I feel sick, I will fall for myself."

“Yes.

"Yeah. Well, I've come this far. I'm going to help you to the end."

Everyone laughed and said so.

No one was trying to leave.

"That's why everyone seems motivated, Misra. Of course, including me."

Chrono beside me also said so.

The eyes are moistened unexpectedly.

Seeing yourself, Aria comes here and holds her hand

"Mislarth, are we really blessed with thankful friends?"

"That's right ... It was really good to come to Demon Castle, Aria."

"Yeah, but it's quick to reassure. I haven't taken it yet!"

"Yeah, that's right. You have to stay focused until the end."

Huh, Mithra takes a deep breath. And

"Well, everyone. I'm done resting, let's get excited!"

"Ah!"

After a rest, Mithra, along with her friends, moved on to an unexperienced floor.

The first thing we saw on the eleventh floor was a vast lake.

To be precise, we were on a land like a small island in the middle of the floor, which was filled with water.

"Is this a lake floor?"

"No, it's not just a lake, Chrono-san, look."

Before Sofia's gaze, the water surface of the lake was boiling.

"This is ... hot water?"

"Well, the steam is only slightly emitted, but the steamy heat is amazing ..."

Sweat is floating on Sofia's face.

Not just her.

Everyone who came here was sweating on his forehead and skin.

"... I don't expect the physical bath to be exhausted in this steam bath."

"Yes. I want to find a transfer point as soon as possible, but there is almost no land ..."

Yes, there was no land in the area visible from here except where we were riding.

The entire floor is covered by a lake made of hot water.

When I was scratching my cheek, it was in a harsh environment,

"Ah!"

Aria suddenly points out and shouts.

"What happened, Aria?"

"Over there! Look over! I saw a magic circle in that shallow water!"

When she saw her point at her words, she saw a magic circle that glowed red and blue.

"What do you mean you can see before we touch?"

"Maybe the hot water in this lake contains magic and reacts to it. But if you look a little closer, you won't know the real thing."

Misla calmly says while analyzing.

In response, Aria shakes her head.

"Yeah! I'll go first if you don't know if you don't see nearby!"

"Well, but Aria. This lake is boiling anyway ..."

Aria shakes her head with a smile against Sophia, who is worried.

"Small, sweet Sophia. My epidermis is protected by magical protection that blocks even the heat of the flames.

Aria is proud of her skin while confidently stretching her chest.

"Oh, yes. Aria is a fireman, so she has very strong magical protection against heat."

"Is that so"

"Yes, that's why. It's easy to swim this kind of hot water. If it's real, you'll have to protect yourself with magic and ride with everyone!"

While saying, Aria took off her shoes,

"I'll go!"

At the moment when one foot swings on the water surface,

"That! Uhhhhhh ..."

I jumped up as if I turned back.

"……e?"

Mithra saw Aria jumping with great speed and retreating.

… Why are you getting hot?

For the first time, seeing how she reacts to hot water, she is strong against fire and heat, but Mithra frozen her thoughts for a moment,

"Hot, hot, Mithralt! I want water!"

“That ’s right!

Misla holds her hands around her feet.

Aria's feet were wrapped in a ball of water.

"Wow, thank you, Mithralt."

"Welcome, but what happened, Aria. You jumped with heat."

"There's nothing! This hot water is so hot! Your feet irritate ...!"

As Aria had said, some of her feet were red and burned.

In other words, she has no magical protection against heat.

However, Aria is developing protection. So maybe.

"This hot water may penetrate the magic protection ..."

In response, Aria looked down at her feet, frowning.

"Yes, that's very likely. I thought it was ordinary hot water, but it's likely to be a special liquid ... I didn't feel like that. ''

Aria seems to have come to the same conclusion as herself.

Tenryu scales have high heat protection because each one has heat protection. It is a protection that is applied to the epidermis even when it becomes a human body.

However, if it breaks through, only a pure body will remain. Therefore, it must have been burned this time.

I understand the properties and effects of hot water. But that is why

"This is a dangerous place ..."

The members of the super-special advance class behind me agree with Misra's idea.

"Seriously ..... it's going to penetrate whatever protection you have. It's just hot water, but it's too powerful ..."

"Yes, this is Aria, a flame-resistant one ... this is a problem ..."

This time, the members of the super-special advance class seem to be frowning.

Everyone is looking at the lake with a difficult face.

"How do you break through this? I'm pretty frustrated that I can see the magic circle of the transfer ...

"Yes. There are some people who can fly in the sky in my house ... but still that magic circle is in the hot water, so I have to immerse it."

"I'm strong in the skin itself, and if I use a recovery magic, I may be able to proceed with only a slight burn, but ... except me ..."

"Yeah, I'm not that strong, so ..."

Do you have to step on that transfer point in preparation for damage to your body?

That's a dangerous bet.

I can't force anyone to do it because I don't know what's waiting.

What should I do?

Mithra worries with everyone in the super special advance class.

If Mithra looks around while thinking that there is nothing usable,

"that?"

Chrono was in the boiling water. I mean,

"Oh"

He was singing with his eyes.

Everyone seemed to notice in that voice and looked at Chrono all at once.

Chrono looks at this situation with mysterious eyes,

"... Yeah? What happened, everyone. Why don't you come?"

"Can you go?!? Or, what are you doing, Chrono ?!"

"No, Aria was jumping in, so I just tried to move on ..."

There was a chrono that was calm in the boiling water.

I was standing on the lake and swimming, listening to everyone on the land.

"Cho, wait a minute, Chrono! A lake is boiling like lava ?! Isn't it hot?"

"No, it's pretty hot. I can put up with it."

"But, do you put up with ... Huh? Burn or not?"

"I'm okay with this. The bath temperature that my grandfather liked in my hometown was just this much."

"What is ...?"

"When I live in the countryside, I boil the bath with wood, but it gets really hot, so it's going to be a temperature that won't make me sick."

The grandfathers said, however, that this is exactly the right thing, as they get colder when they get older and they prefer hot baths.

It was a temperature that I would like you to understand from me who uses the same bath, but if you have been in since childhood, Oita seems to adapt,

"It's still hard to get in, but I'm sorry to be able to endure."

"Eh ...? Well, I guess the temperature of the hot water is going to rise ...

"Oh, let's just say, I can't do it for a long time.

It's hot enough not to want to swim honestly. If you tell so,

"Ah, yeah. The overcoming standards may be a bit different .... because we're just too hot to put them in."

"Oh, yes.

"" Yeah, pear. "

Everyone speaks with a straight face and a voice.

Really. Then there is no help for it. You should take another approach.

However, if you know the location of the transfer point, there are many ways to do it.

"And then ... make a bridge to the shallows?"

"bridge?"

"Yeah, that's just normal rock. Wait a minute."

I stretch my dominant chain towards the bedrock visible from the water. And

"Rock, go up thin and long."

Setsuna gave the instructions.

The bedrock gradually rises toward the surface of the water.

Eventually, part of the bedrock protrudes from the surface of the water, and the land slightly increases.

Nevertheless, there was enough space for two people to walk.

"The rest is the transfer point over there."

Now fly the chain towards the transfer point and lift the lake bottom around the point.

…… It ’s not good if you touch the points and make a mistake.

It is only around you to move. Surround the transfer point with land.

After that, if you scrape out the hot water left inside,

"This is okay. You don't have to get in the hot water!"

I tell everyone while squeezing wet clothes on the land next to the transfer point.

Then, the members of the super-special advance class were surprised, walked here, and arrived before the transfer point.

"I can move with this .... I'm okay, Misura. I'm wandering."

"Ah, I'm fine. Just because I'm just crazy to see people who can swim in a hot water bath ..."

"Mr. Misrart. It's okay. We've seen it for the first time."

"After all, when I look at the chrono, I feel like I'll be able to work harder, yeah."

Everyone is muttering, but it would be fine if there was no problem.

"Okay, then, go to the last level?"

"O, oh"

Then we were transferred to the last twelve levels.
