Yomigaeri no Maou

Surprisingly, that red light was faster than Barbara, who meant it, even though it remained humanized.

Some parts of the forest were careful not to damage plants and animals as much as they could, but it is still not easy to escape from the ancient dragon (enchanted dragon) Barbara.

But there was also a will there for Barbara.

Even the ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon) cannot be defeated in this chase.

More importantly, that red light is the hateful enemy who took away Barbara's wanted “phantom fruit” in front of him.

I couldn't care less if I caught anything and didn't take away the fruit.

How long would I have gone after him that way?

Following the red light, the place Barbara had reached was a pompous hole in the woods.

The diameter is quite large, close to 100 meters.

Besides, a peek underneath it revealed a burning flame and a drooling lava.

But the red light jumps in without fear of such flames at all.

Po, and Barbara shrugs when she sees the red light disappearing into the lava.

"... illusory, fruit... but..."

It is such a hot place.

There is no longer any doubt that anything would have been burned to ashes.

Now the only way Barbara could get the phantom fruit was to look for other trees, but that's all she chased after.

To that light, I was honest to say I wouldn't mind if I didn't reward you with one arrow.

Fortunately, should I say.

For a person, a hot magma that burns just by touching it rather than getting close is just like a hot pool for Barbara, an ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon).

Looking at the wide open vertical hole, Barbara then steps off without hesitation and plunges into the magma.

Then I was supposed to go into the magma with Bo Bo...

…… For a magma, it's warm... "

The feeling I was touching was more akin to the temperature of the water flowing through the rivers of the South, rather than melted lava in various places, which I felt like I could swim without any problems with people entering.

In fact, if you observe where you jump in again, it's turning into a lake that honors water with a very high degree of transparency, unlike when viewed from above.

If you look up, you can see where Barbara was standing until earlier, and it seems that she has moved somewhere, or something like that, but rather, the sight Barbara was looking at earlier was the mistake.

"... I see, are you confused..."

Barbara nodded convincingly.

And to that fact, I am convinced and smile that the "phantom fruit” will still be alive and well.

"Wait...... I'll eat you......!!

With that said, Barbara dived into the lake - the underground lake.

As far as the surroundings are concerned, I didn't see anything like a shore somewhere, but because I could see its underground lake continuing towards the back.

Perhaps it was the bell cave here.

That was detected by the high transparency of the underground lake and the number of stalactites that grew like spears around them and hung again.

I don't know why the earlier red light came to this, but I'm pretty sure it went to the back.

Barbara started chasing again.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"This is... what is it?

When the wetted Barbara tilted her neck and looked around, there were a number of stalactites growing, again shredded over the years, and a number of rounded limestones had created a strange sight, but nothing surprised me about it.

What Barbara wondered was not so many of the shaping beauties made by nature that she said so, but rather the existence of a complete artifact in which, unnaturally, it existed.

As a result of swimming through the underground lake and proceeding, Barbara reached the depths of the bell cave, where there was a large open space, both in size and height, which was such a large place that Barbara was likely to still be able to afford even if she returned to what she was.

But there is an object there that occupies such a space beforehand, and that is what Barbara stares at and tilts her neck.

It was a strangely shaped building.

It has a neat quadrangle cone on a few scales, and I can see the entrance and thought hole in some parts of it.

The surface is made of a slippery, non-metallic or wood material, just very smooth and straight.

It was obvious that something like this could not have been done naturally and would obviously have been an artifact built for some purpose.

However, whoever built it, and for what purpose, cannot derive it at all from the accumulated knowledge of Barbara, which is close to a thousand years old.

"... come in and you'll see..."

So bumpy, Barbara approached the building.

If you get close, you'll see the size of that building first.

Pretty big.

That might be bigger than Barbara's original figure, to the point where she thinks.

Plus, it's an inlet hole, but it was covered with some kind of transparent membrane, and when I touched it, I felt a little paralyzed.

A little paralyzed with a highly durable Barbara.

If a normal human touches it, he will not escape fainting, and if he is bad, he could even die.

Probably some kind of security device, but only this time, they were bad opponents.

A half-life attack on an ancient dragon doesn't work.

Fortunately, it did not mean that the space itself was blocked, but that it seemed possible to enter the interior if it withstood the impact of paralysis.

I didn't know if that's how much my body was willing to say I wouldn't let it through except for the sturdy ones, or for any other reason, but Barbara goes on.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

The interior of the building was also very different.

The floors and walls were made of slippery material and very easy to walk.

However, it was uncomfortable in some ways because there was a peek at metal parts and wiring there.

Sometimes at the entrance, because I can't get over the suspicion that some kind of trap is being strewn.

Barbara knows that even though she has some confidence in her strength, there is still no absolute.

You're going to tell your mother that you can't fight and win, because you know there are several similar beings in the world.

I should have been more careful than I could affirm that it wasn't that kind of thing that made this building.

Occasionally, a picture was painted on the wall, so I also looked at it.

There were a lot of things that I wasn't sure what the subject matter was, but it was mostly what people looked like fighting something.

Some people were arguing with each other, and some portrayed the battle between a glowing woman and a man wrapped in darkness.

If we were to find unity in them, Barbara would haunt his head because there were probably more than one painting in the past that he felt strange about, although it would be appropriate to argue with the ancient demons and people (human beings).

However, after just a few thoughts, Barbara looked at the universe like she was staring at the

"... it was more of a phantom fruit than that. That red light should probably have gone inside this..."

I say and start hurrying ahead.

Painting memories are distant in those days.

space where this building was, but as far as I could tell it seemed to be the end of the line, and no further signs of red light could be felt anywhere earlier.

That said, it would be most appropriate to see that the red light entered the interior of this building.

Nothing Barbara entered here because she was intrigued by the strange building.

Most importantly, it was the fruit of illusion, and it was only to ascertain its flavour.

Then, as he went down the path, he reached before the great door.

It was a huge double-open door.

But Barbara won't even try to touch it and open it.

Barbara, the ancient dragon, won't open it.

"Oh no..."

Eye opening Barbara.

But Barbara's desire for food is not weak enough to give up here.

Staring at the huge door, Barbara begins to make those amber eyes shimmer, releasing the magic that dwells in its body and letting it aggregate into her fist.

Obviously, he was willing to destroy the door with violence.

But it is.

"... wave of demons... force confirmation... search... match II... authority... 10th... unlock large... locks... faint?

The voice suddenly sounded on the spot.

Barbara looks up in panic and screams.

"Hey, who is it!? Is anyone there!?

But I have not responded to Barbara's voice like that.

It's just that the voice lacking discouragement,

"... disarm...?

I just ask.

Even the boulder barbara isn't so bad of a guess that you don't understand what it's asking.

I found out he was probably asking if he would open the door.

"... If you can open it, I want you to open it..."

And don't hesitate to say,

"… Copy………"

With the words, a red light runs through the main door in front of me and opens to the left and right.

Very heavy looking door but very quiet when it opened.

Slowly opening doors.

What is beyond it?

I don't know that.

However, the road to this point is mostly a straight line, and all the split doors that were along the way have been opened and checked inside.

If there's that red light, I can tell you there's nothing else ahead of me.

"... phantom... fruit..."

That's what Barbara said as she roared heavily, and she stepped out.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

- Shh. Shh.

The sound sounded like that as Barbara went inside.

It is the sound of someone chewing something.

The room was large and, to put it roughly, hemispherically shaped.

And there were two things at the center of it, like some kind of table, one of which was covered with a translucent capsule, but on the other there was one man sitting down behaving badly.

Who is that?

Who is it?

It is an immediate and alarming Barbara to think so, but it was astonishing that such a Barbara's eyes captured it.

That, a man sitting on the table.

The red light I saw earlier was flying around in a moody atmosphere, and the man was carrying it to his mouth with something in his hand.

And the sweet scent that spreads into that room......

"Wow, my... my fruit... whoa!

The man noticed and turned to Barbara, who shouted so like a scream, holding his cheek down.

In that hand, he was grasping the last piece of phantom fruit, and while observing Barbara, the man threw a piece of it into his mouth.

Shh, shh, shh.

Barbara collapsed after seeing such a noise, and finally, sagging, until her throat swallowed.

There is a glimmer of tears in its cheeks.

"Ugh... I've been chasing you for a reason... not really..."

No longer, did you also lose your temper to stand up, Barbara, staring down on her knees and continuing to cry?

Such a barbara, it took a shadow.

I look up, and there stands a man who was sitting on the table.

He was a tough guy with red hair.

However, the light that resides in the eyes is a deeply aged color that does not suit that age.

Barbara tilts her neck to that glow at a glance that she is not just a person.

said the man.

"... no, I don't know what it is, but don't cry, sister. I don't know what happened, but you're gonna live with it?

and.

Barbara wanted to scream who caused it, but for some reason, she didn't.

Because Barbara felt something strange and calm in the atmosphere of the man, who spoke in a strangely smug way.

"... good thing... if I could just get the fruit you were eating right now, I could snort at that word... I could only find that wherever I looked! You did it!

That said, I couldn't say I wouldn't say anything.

And they found it, and they took it away from me.

I couldn't help but say about one of my grudges.

The man, to Barbara's words, seems to have guessed why Barbara was crying, and says with an odd face.

"Yep...? Was that all you were crying about? Because you couldn't eat fruit? Hey, what kind of guy..."

And as frightened.

But the man continued.

"Huh. Okay. All right. Hey, that guy from earlier. Get me another one. I'm awake. I don't know where it is, but you do, don't you?

When a man tells him that towards the red light, he turns around and heads outside the building. It flies.

Then the man,

"Wait a minute, sister. I'll have them picked up now. Until then... be my talker."

That's what made me laugh.
