A red-haired girl shows up shortly after defeating an elderplant.
He has a black wing with a tail, red eyes reminiscent of reptiles, and is obviously not a normal person.
However, I thought it was a demon, but compared to Marignant, it still looked human, and it looked so cute with its short jacket and miniskirt.
Looking at us, the girl laughed with a smirk.
Ahahahaha, don't be so vigilant--
Before the girl finished speaking, a big black sword rang and hit her directly, wiping out the surrounding trees and scouring the ground.
The main attacker was Karon-chan, frowning and making a very annoying face.
"Absolutely, if you defeat the big bumps, you'll get another one." We're running out of time for the banquet, aren't we? "
”Hey, hey, hey... don't attack me without listening to me”
"Wahahaha, don't even think about it!" But because of the peace of mind, he doesn't have any problems. "
Is he okay? "What the hell..."
As she leaned her neck at Karon-chan's remark, a voice was heard from the bottom of the moist ground.
"Whoa, whoa. Don't even talk to me. You're going to attack me suddenly?" If it wasn't for me now, I'd be dead. "
A red-haired girl flapped her wings and flew out of the hole.
There is no scratch at all. Karon-chan's skills are still there, so even that Elder Plant is powerful enough to wipe out her body with a single blow.
And yet, it's intact... how strong is this guy?
In a panic, I grabbed her by the camera on my phone and checked her status.

――――――
What!? You can't see all the stats!
There's a phantom in the name... is that what this is all about?
"That looks like a phantom." Did Karon know that? "
"Even this Karon-chan can be distinguished at a glance." It was a phantom, so even if you looked at us, you could have come out majestically. "
It looks like my spirit magic, but it's only formed by pure magic.
"Hmm, I see. He's a smart guy." Is that a demon too? "
It felt the same as Gralier's Spirit Body.
In other words, I couldn't see his status because he was an idiot using illusions, and Karon-chan's attack wasn't effective.
You saw us defeating the Elderplant, but it wasn't the main body that showed up.
I think it was almost certain that the Ark Demons were just like the Marignants.
This time, there was a magician who used phantoms and really used a wide variety of abilities. This is going to be tricky again.
When Mirage heard our conversation, she strangely tilted her neck.
Wow, am I a phantom?
"What is your purpose?" Are you the one who caused this commotion? "
"I don't want to be asked all at once." Do you think I'll answer that honestly? "
Hmm, I knew you wouldn't answer if you asked me normally.
I don't think we're going to fight for now, but why did you show up in front of us?
And I wondered if this was the root of all the evil this time.
If so, I'd like to get rid of it here, but I don't think the main unit is nearby, so is it difficult to defeat it?
I was worried about how to extract the information, but Mirage made a surprising statement with a smile that didn't seem like a demon when she clapped her hands and bread.
"But I'll teach you!" I'm not the one who did this. Marignant's been doing a lot of work here, so I'm just here to see what's going on. Then it would be interesting! Well, we'll just have to see it! No, I saw something really good. "
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Besides, this incident has nothing to do with him... it's suspicious.
It's impossible to believe this honestly.
Nol and the others were looking at Mirage in a suspicious atmosphere, and Esther asked her to explore.
"Oh, it's like you knew we defeated the Marignant."
"Of course I know." I went to see Sevaria because his signs disappeared, and there were a lot of monster raids, and there was a lot of talk about it, right? And the town wasn't devastated, and the plan seemed to fail, and he's dead. Then there were rumors that adventurers like Okura Haybees had solved it. "
"So you're saying that we beat the Marignant."
"That's right." Well, I was totally convinced by the battle I just fought. You guys are more monsters than I imagined. "
"I feel like I'm being fooled somehow..."
Mmm, I feel a little suspicious
Even though my fellow Marignant is dead, he's giggling and laughing funny.
Marignant was a disgusting bastard, but I wonder if all the demons were like this.
Maybe that's the kind of relationship he had with his people when he caused all that trouble on his own.
However, I know that the signs have disappeared, and I may have shared minimal information about what the plan is.
All right, let's give it a shot here. It's a classic, but I'll tell you the name you can find in the status app.
"Mirage, why did you bother to show yourself in front of us?"
"... did I say your name?" Did Marignant teach you that? "
"Well, I don't know." But you shouldn't think we don't know anything. "
Mirage didn't seem disturbed with a smile, but she seemed somewhat upset with a somewhat awkward atmosphere.
I knew you'd be in a hurry if you found out the name of someone you didn't know.
I wish I could pull some information from here... but the moment I thought about it, Karon suddenly spoke up.
"- Hmmm!?"
"Whoa!?"
Curon flew away somewhere, kicking the ground heavily.
I was surprised by the sudden incident, and Nord and the others seemed confused, not knowing what had happened.
What's the matter?
I flew away suddenly.
After a while, Karon flew away, and the ground shook heavily as the roar rattled many times.
As soon as she thinks what she's doing, she comes back and looks regretful.
"Ku, I'm sorry, I got hit. this Karon-chan is so ungrateful...."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"He was using other phantoms to retrieve something while talking to us." When I asked you a similar question, I noticed that the sign was leaking, but it was already too late... I flew something to the main unit with my transfer magic. "
What... he didn't mean to come out in front of us, but he caught our attention to retrieve something!
It is unlikely that multiple phantoms can be emitted simultaneously, rather than just one, because of a complete lack of imagination.
Girori and Mirage's phantom, who was still in front of her, were in a hurry to wipe the cold sweat with their arms.
Is the phantom in front of you a reflection of the main body?... he's got something like a black jewel in his hand.
"Huh, ahhh." That person's senses are too sharp. But I'm glad I was able to retrieve it. "
What have you got there!
"Hey, hey, hey! This wasn't the purpose, but I thought I'd get it done."
He's winking at me, kissing a jewel, and he's making a disgusting face.
Shit, this guy's gonna totally fuck us up!
I think that jewel is similar to the one Marignant used before... but it's a painful thing to recover because it seems like a troublesome thing to think of.
Breathlessly observing how Mirage moves when she achieves her goal, she puts her finger on her cheek and begins to think about something.
"Um, there's no need to talk anymore, but thanks to you guys, I'll give you this as a thank you for collecting this too"
When Mirage put his hand on it, a black magic circle appeared.
I held my weapon and stood guard, but three rounded objects emerged from the magic circle and landed on the ground.
I took a closer look at what came out... a familiar black coin.
Yes, it was the Divine Demon Coin, the reason we came to pick fruit in this forest.
What, a Divine Demon Coin!?
"You were collecting that, weren't you? I'll give you this instead of taking it. I'm sorry I just got it."
"Heh, you're a very polite demon." It's not very different from Marignant. "
"Ahahaha, don't be like that." I used to be one of them, but I didn't like him. "
Looks like she's really happy that Marignant is dead when she laughs.
I-It's a good guy to give me a Divine Demon Coin... no, I don't think a demon is a good guy.
There must be some kind of trap. She was so alert, but suddenly Martina screamed.
"- I found it! Luna, please attack that way!"
Roger
As soon as Martina touched Luna, a red flash flashed from her spear, so fast that we couldn't react.
And as she jumped up, Martina threw her spear in the direction she pointed.
The spear flew across the horizon so far that it was invisible in an instant as it wiped out trees and debris.
At the same time, Mirage's phantom in front of her began to raise her voice in a panic.
"H-Hey, hey, hey!?" Nooooo! "
Mirage's pale face screamed, and the phantom in front of her disappeared like smoke.
Immediately after that, the sky was reddish and intense light shone on the sky, and the roar sounded late.
Luna's Kazykul hit the target. The spear came back to her at once with automatic retrieval of the evidence.
Meanwhile, Martina, who had asked for an attack, spoke with regret.
"...... I escaped. I'm sorry, if I could find him sooner....."
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I
"At first sight, I knew it was a phantom." I secretly let the Ghost fly and find him. It took me a long time to be far away, and I noticed it right away. It looks like he escaped with the transfer magic... but that might not be the magic of that demon. "
"I thought you were quite capable of using such phantom magic as well as transfer magic, but... if I thought that there were other magicians who could use transfer magic, I'd understand." Another demon may have flown something to the main body. "
Martina had always been an adult because she was looking for the main body of Mirage.
The main body was lurking a long way away from the czwickshare, which means that it only takes the czwickshare like the speed of light.
But when I got away with the transfer magic... that's why the phantom disappeared at the same time.
Karon wants to repent by stepping on Dandan's legs and tail.
"Grrrrr, I didn't expect this Karon-chan to get out!" I defeated the big one, and I was out of my mind! "
"I'm sorry I couldn't get rid of you even though you were being strengthened."
"Without you two being so upset... the other person was willing to run from the beginning, so there's nothing I can do about it"
With Karon-chan and Luna strengthened, we could definitely defeat the opponent.
But Sisha was right. If not just a phantom, but even a transfer magic was prepared, it would be impossible to defeat it first.
It was confirmed that there were other demons besides the Marignants, so it would be quite a harvest.
Hah... I thought I got rid of the Elderplant, but I got more worries.
