Senpensekai no Madoushoshi

Cloudless, clear silver ring. From there, black, black, night book-like light overflows.

And erased in an instant the skin membrane of the water that was enveloping me.

"Kaha... Oh, ho, ho, ho..."

The air, thinly tainted by the smoke of the pine lights, also felt so delicious that it was now comparable to the fresh air blown down from the summit of St. Peak Nogrint St.

"... have you broken my magic? No, you absorbed it? That light... the hell..."

What pops into my ear are the words of the woman in the hood. As usual, I can't read the expression, but there was something amazing mixed up in that voice.

"Ha, ha... Sands One..."

The ring that got stuck in the right hand pharmacopoeia is sealed with Sands Wands. It's been over a month since then, but I haven't once had her respond to my call.

"Sands Ones...... A four-wing dragon, defeated by Lano Route...... You're sealed in that finger now."

The brilliance of the ring faded and the original darkness was restored in the cave (cancer). But it didn't disappear completely, and still a trace amount of black light emanates from the ring, trying to protect me and surround me.

"... why is Sands One on your side? No, is that just what it looks like? Sands Ones is still awesome in it, just craving power?

The ring shines strong again, as if to respond to that question. But the next light was directional. He flies toward the woman in the hood, drawing many arcs. That was like stretching out his arms and trying to grab it with his fingers, depending on what he saw.

"- Huh!?

No, my perception was right. The light was an arm. Black, black, haughty arms. I've seen that arm with sharp claws covered in scales twice in the past.

"What is this... ahhh!?

That's the dragon I saw in the village of Lelton. I saw it in Auschnell's basement, that of Sands Wands.

"And stop..."

The arm catches the woman in the hood or presses to cleave with her sharp nails. With total disregard for my will.

"... I see, put so much power in that body? This is indeed... a vessel of heroes"

The woman in the hood moves around in a hilarious fashion and continues to claw her lacquered black nails. But......

"Come on!"

In the narrow room (rather), the limits soon come. The tip of the nail blurred the woman's hood and cut it open. Even if she's about to take it off. The woman keeps her hood down as she retreats. But the mutilated cloth drips as-is, revealing part of her face. And... characteristically shaped, those ears too.

"... Elves?

"... ugh!?

The woman in the hood rushes to cover her ears with her hands. But the hour is already late. I took a good look. Like a toslin, a pointy ear peeking from between your hair.

Gogo, go, gogo... gogo.

That's when I tried to ask you about those ears. There was a noise coming from the ceiling. It's more of a chest sound than an ear, like you're forcing a hard object to crush.

"Oh, this... what noise?

It was when I shifted my gaze from the woman in the hood and looked up at the ceiling.

Gogah!! And the ceiling exploded. And right after that, something small fell off.

"I saw it."

One of them was Mippo. He poked a tablet in his hand, and put it up with the inscription.

"Chit-chit-chit..."

The next thing that popped out of the hole was Phoenix with a little bird condition. Thanks to the intensely burning girlfriend jumping into the rock cave, it lit up like midday all at once.

"Laplice Expedition, come on!! I don't know what it is, but I'm here to help you, Irie. Zzz!!

It was Laplice who last fell and decided to land dynamically on my head. As always, the voices are so loud, things echo so loud. My ear hurts.

"Laplice, everyone..."

But I can't just be happy that help is here. From the ring there is still a dragon arm stretched around the pitch-black light today, because it is trying to catch the woman in the hood - the elf.

"Ah? What is that arm? And... elves? Why would an elf go here!?

Again, Gang Laplice barks, and my ears become Keane.

"Shit, I don't know. Yikes!! I was resting by the fountain and suddenly I was pulled and fell into the water... here when I realized..."

"... I see. So, now they're attacking us. I can smell the water spirits from that elf, and I'm pretty sure he's the one who followed you here."

Did the Phoenix also detect the sign, chirping again?

"But well, now that this Laplice expedition is here, I won't let you like it anymore!! Mippop!! It's time!!

Perhaps.

When Mippo salutes Laplice, he starts dancing on the spot. Then, goggles, goggles... and the shape of the rock chamber changes.

"Spirit of the earth......?

"Exactly. I don't know what kind of rocky mountain it is, but I can freely replace it."

From the ring of Mippo's right middle finger, this time a golden light is emitted. From me to her, I can see the gnawing and magic flowing.

A low ceiling rock cave felt oppressive spread as if shellfish were opening. When Mippo waved his arms to the left and right as if to pay off the fog, the ceiling finally disappeared and instead the red-burning sky gave him a peek in the face.

"And this next guy... Phoenix. You've heard the name before, haven't you? If this guy's serious, he can vaporize you in an instant when he's helping you with the water spirits, right?

Laplice even speaks confidently and dignified as if it were his own power.

"Come on, what do we do? Do you surrender? Otherwise... we won't have to talk about anything that hurts, will we?

Really, when you know you're in your favor, you're on track, so this kid...

But you've been worried about me.

So I can't hate when my mouth is so bad or so loud. I forgive you. I want to give you my head. They don't like it though.

"What Laplice is saying is true. I don't know who you are, but surrender."

……

The elf woman took advantage of the enlarged space and took a silent distance. Then the pitch-black arms released from the Sands Ones ring come back on hand as if they had lost sight of their goal. And shrugged away in an instant. Are you seeking and reacting to magic, as the elf woman said? But if so, why haven't I attacked myself? Not for Phoenix, not for Laplice.

I care, but I can't help but ask for answers now. I brought the Phoenix ring closer to my lips.

"But if you mean to fight only..."

"We've achieved our goal. No more reason to attack you, no more reason to fight. I'm sorry about that. imitate the absurd. But I really... had to be sure."

But before turning the ring into a magic book, the elf woman wrapped water around her whole body. And in the next moment, he was sucked into the ground... and disappeared.

"... you disappeared... What the hell, that guy..."

"Well, come on... He said he wanted to ask and make sure..."

"Did something happen to you? You don't feel bad or anything?

"Daijibu?"

"Picchy?"

I get a serious look at my face by two little ones, and I'm happy but a little embarrassed. I think I'm getting a little wet with my hair right now.

"Yes, I'm fine. I was tied up. My arm hurts a little, but other than that, it's especially nothing..."

"Irie zuck!!

I thought...... and looked back, Toslin was about to come running to this place, which turned into a rind-bowled indentation.

I was taught on my way home and I knew it, but that place I was taken was in a cave near the coastline a short walk east of the city of Fretelli.

After I'm dragged into the fountain, Toslin will follow the Phoenix in the air to this point.

"While I'm on, I'm sorry. I was totally caught off guard because it was all over the city."

If he stayed a wet mouse, he caught a cold, so he immediately went back to the city inn. So I took a bath and took a trip to church at Ms Ushna's suggestion after giving a brief explanation to everyone who came back. Of course, to report the elf that attacked me.

"No, it's not just Mr. Toslin's fault"

Toslin assembles at the reception where the various things in the example are gyu-stuffed and bows his head toward us. There is no usual softness in the words your sister speaks to her like that.

"Even if it was me beside them, they should have taken the Iries away. Me too, because it's the same. I was relieved without foundation. While I was in the city, I thought it would be okay."

When your sister said so with a willow brow on her face, she saw me sitting next to her in a chair with chocolate.

"I'm really, really sorry. You must have been scared.

"Uh... yes. But it's bad that I was messed up in the first place, and I deserved it."

It's not like me when I was already in the bookstore. I became an adventurer next door to danger. Adventurers defend themselves by the Iron Rule. I seemed to know about it, and I didn't. That's why they took me away easily.

If it wasn't that elf and the monster that took me away, I'd be dead by now. I roared to carve my self-restraint into my chest, then raised my face.

"I care more about the woman who kidnapped me than that."

"Elf... is it"

Master Alitesa, sitting face to face, makes a difficult face.

"At this time looking for dark elves, an elf raid. Normally, I don't think so, do I?

That's what Carol said while eating the snacks she bought by the time she got here.

"Did you really get elves?

"You're absolutely right. I saw it, too."

I saw it. I saw it.

"Yeah, that was definitely an elf"

Even Laplice and Mippo assured me that my mystery of mistakes disappeared.

Then maybe he's the Dark Elf.

I wonder if everyone is, but now that I don't have enough proof to be sure, the word that everyone was about to say. It was Saluena who said it.

"But if it was a dark elf, what would you do halfway?

"Right, I think so too. Did I tell you I wanted to ask you something and make sure you did?

"Yeah...... Am I really a dragon killer, or was I spoiled by a goddess? And then he seemed like he wanted to know so badly whether he had defeated Sands Wands or if he really had that power. So I didn't feel like an enemy when I said I'd been kidnapped."

"Um, did it disappear?

"Yes. If I knew what I wanted to know, I wouldn't be doing it as if it were soluble in water"

When I say that in memory of that time, we all think about it.

Saluena opened her mouth when a quiet time had passed and her hungry stomach was about to curl and ring in a few moments.

"I don't know. If it's a dark elf, I think the loved ones of Illure are just like the enemy, but from what I've heard about the Iries, it can be taken as if it wasn't harmful."

"But, Sister Sally... Is that actually the case with dark elves not being hostile, etc? Don't you have another purpose…"

"Including that, I'm saying I don't get it. It's Rosa. So far, we've only done enough to follow his trail as a provisional dark elf."

"But he travels in the water, right? I can do enough to trace the smell, Atashi, but I can't get to the boulder in the water, can I?

"I hope you're near the city, but if you can travel through the water, you don't need to use the boat, and you might not be here anymore"

"Bye, isn't it best to find the inside of the fairy and wait? The only thing I know right now is that Dark Elves are after the fairies."

We all thought again about hmm and although we don't know how long it would take, it ended up being the most realistic decision.

That's why we're still searching for the dark elves tomorrow, and then we decide to look inside the fairies.

"Speaking of which, I also spoke to Priestess Alitesa about the legend of the city, but I found it a little funny, so listen to me."

"... interesting thing?

When Toslin tilts her neck, Ushna urges Teriassa to explain, 'It's actually fun to hear'.

"Cohon. Uh, you guys have been looking into the legend of the city, so I opened up some of the old literature that even I had left to look into..."

Feeling the gaze of everyone present on this occasion, Lady Alitesa began to scroll with perplexity, taking the one book that had been placed on the bed while making her expression a little stronger.

I can't help it because it's narrow, but maybe Alitesa is surprisingly sloppy to leave such a precious book on her bed unwrought? That makes me kind of intimate.

"There seems to be a slight difference between what's written in this literature and what's rumored in the city."

That's right, and Alitesa told me what it was about.
