Corinth Gardens was in a position to be reached in about half a day from the outskirts of Teito.

Though we go looking for herbs to help Filia, Corinth Gardens is not a relic of great difficulty.

If I had to, there shouldn't be anything like coming home looking for herbs all by myself.

And yet the people I'm going with, I feel a little too luxurious.

One is a genius magician, a professor at the Imperial School of Magic, "Lucy the Crimson"

The other is the Virgin Sophia, who has the non-standard power recognized by the Church.

In the carriage on the road, Lucy sat next to me on the right, and Sophia sat next to me on the left.

It's not that big of a carriage, and when the three of us ride it's pretty narrow.

Besides, the two of them sit pretty packed up on me for some reason, so each other's bodies stick together.

Slightly crease into the soft feel and sweet aroma of the two.

"Dr. Lucy... isn't that, like, too stuck?

"What if I told Sophia that?

Lucy says on my knees, sticking together.

Sophia blushed and turned away.

Plus Sophia is sitting a lot further away from me.

Looks like Lucy was originally going to follow me, but I wasn't expecting to even join Sophia.

"It was just me and Dr. Lucy, and I was fine."

That said, Sophia swelled her cheeks.

"'Cause I was worried about Solon."

"Wasn't the adventurer supposed to retire?

"I was going to. If Soron-kun's going to the ruins, I'm going to have to follow him."

Sophia laughed softly.

"Besides... I'm also anxious that Solon is alone with Dr. Lucy..."

"What are you anxious about?

and Lucy snaps her mouth from the side.

"It's... somehow,"

and Sophia answered naggingly.

As I've thought before, these two aren't close, but they have a subtle sense of distance.

Sophia and Lucy are supposed to value each other highly, but geniuses, maybe there's something strangely conscious about each other.

"I thought you and Solon were alone because of this."

and crush as Lucy whispers.

It's such a small voice that it doesn't sound like Sophia.

Suddenly the carriage stopped.

I hear you've reached your destination.

We got out of the carriage to thank you.

Well, the search for the desired herb will be over soon, so I decided to ask a few of you to wait.

Corinth Gardens, he said, was a garden created by a great nobleman who was a lord of the ages.

It was abandoned until it was abandoned and sank beneath the formation, eventually becoming the residence of the demonic people.

Nevertheless, this garden was attacked a long time ago by the adventurers, and no longer inhabits such a strong demonic tribe.

"Well, let's stick it out! I'll show you what I mean!

"If Dr. Lucy gets serious, he'll burn all the herbs down."

When I laughed, Lucy blurred, "That's too bad."

Lucy is a great magician, an excellent researcher of magic, but not an adventurer.

So I'm not used to the ruins offense, and I don't know how to recover items of value from the ruins in good condition.

I began to descend the stairs leading to the basement of the ruins.

Lucy, and Sophia follow.

In the first layer of the decadent air, there was a snail growing there.

The walls and floors are made of white colored stones.

As we proceeded, a larger rat-like demonic tribe appeared straw.

If you're a rushing adventurer, I think you've become quite a threat.

but when Sophia waved her wand, the Demons vanished in an instant.

"That's the Virgin. One of the five magicians of the Empire."

Lucy raised her voice as impressed.

"That's not true," Sophia said modestly.

Perhaps if Lucy were that demonic, too, she could have defeated him in less than a second.

Speaking of which, I'm worried about Phyllia, but I have another pressing problem.

"Speaking of the Five Mages, Dr. Lucy and Sophia were chosen, weren't they?

"Yeah, and they make you a tool of war."

Lucy says with a flashy look.

The "Great Republic War" between the Empire and the Alemanian Farren Republic was becoming ever more intense.

On the front line, a large number of soldiers are dead, and some say that some fronts are on the verge of collapsing.

Lucy and Sophia will be sent to such a dangerous battlefield.

Of course I disagreed, but this is a government order.

Along with the input of the revived Demon King, the operation to mobilize the prestigious sorcerer at the forefront was to be the highlight of the Empire's counter-attack operation.

It is difficult to relax that decision.

Lucy asked a high-ranking acquaintance to postpone going to the battlefield.

However, as it is, sooner or later the two of them will have to go to the front line.

But Lucy made it clear.

"I won't let you do what the government planned.... because I'm sure I'll try to stop it."

"Is there some kind of operation?

"Yeah. Solon's back in the capital, so you want to stay with him a little longer."

That said, Lucy let me try to close one eye.

They're not going to talk about how to stop the key government plans.

I tried to ask on top of each other but suddenly Sophia slapped me on the shoulder.

"What's going on?

"Solon kun...... that"

It was behind the ruins that Sophia pointed to.

Something red is approaching.

Me and Sophia looked at each other.

And look back at Lucy.

I pulled a good look at Lucy.

"Hey, what?

"The Red Dragon is coming, get down!

I fell on the floor with Lucy.

At the next moment, the red line passes right in front of you with tremendous speed.

Red Dragon clashed against the wall as it was.

How can there be a mighty demon tribe like the Red Dragon here?

Corinth Gardens should have been attacked by now, and no prior information said that anywhere.

When I pulled out the treasure sword Tetracord, I moved on.

"Dr. Lucy, please step back."

"Heh, Solon will protect you?

"I'm a magic swordsman for once."

Lucy and Sophia are far better talented than me, but they're pure magicians, so they're not so good at protecting themselves from enemy attacks.

That's why I need to stand in front of you two as an avant-garde.

"Magic Sword, huh?"

Lucy says as she stares at my sword.

When I was in magic school, Lucy wasn't happy that I was using the magic sword.

Lucy always said, "It's not the sword that's best for using magic, it's the wand. Because using a magic sword is an evil way," he said.

But I chose to be a magic swordsman.

I didn't have enough talent to do it with one piece of magic.

I pulled out the treasure sword Tetracord.

The blue body is shining.

I smile and tell Lucy.

"Yes, it's the magic sword that the teacher hates."

"It's not like I still hate you... That's your precious sword, isn't it?

I nodded.

The treasure sword Tetracord is an important sword acquired in the ruins explored with Sophia and Cleon.

Without this, I wouldn't have survived the battle to this day.

"... if Solon finds his way, I'm not going to deny it. So let me protect you with that sword."

"Absolutely."

The red dragon glowed red eyes.

And turn up a loud enough growl to make your ears hurt.

"Coming, Solon!

"Copy that!"

Put Sophia's words on the signal. We're in a combat position.

Behind me, I could see left and right, and Sophia and Lucy had canes.

After this, the Red Dragon advances.

If you take that first blow, you'll be able to tail the rest with Sophia and Lucy's magical attacks.

I set up the treasure sword Tetracord straight.
