Miniature Garden Chemister

18. Protecting Chirali

in a room with fish demons on the fourth basement

Having safely descended the stairs, we look out for the many demons in front of us. As far as I read the description of the floor that was written on the wall, the demons called the Miscellaneous Fish.

There were strawberries and colorful slimes. Horns growing or wings growing. Oh, some long slimes vertically!

I had no idea there was such a slime. Should I say that the world is deep or that the slime is deep?

"Whoops! I can't believe there are so many slime subspecies! It's tough to knock one down at a time!?"

"Sure. Saine, do you remember the way?

"Yep. Shall we run through?"

"Ok!! Hinami, hold on tight!

"Heh!?"

If you look at the slime field, I'll suddenly be in charge of Mr. Salina's shoulders. If you are surprised by the sudden, you can see that Mr. Saine is casting a spell.

Mr. Saine should not use offensive magic because he is a healer. I was wondering if anyone had been injured, and I thought so, but I didn't think so.

A warm glow engulfed us.

"Guardian's Light, here's the Guardian of the Goddess."

"Barrier magic?

"Yep. I'll bite my tongue when I'm talking... Yikes!

"Wow!

If I raise a question, Sarina answered concisely... while dashing at top speed. The first recoil is very large due to a big kick on the ground. Tie your mouth together and desperately find your way to Mr. Salina.

Soon the lead will be Mr. Saine, and then Sarina and I will be in charge. And last but not least, Mr. Alfred.

There's no break, the three of them running straight to the stairs. He's also speeding, and if I run normally, he'll definitely leave me. I'm sorry, but I just have to say that Mr. Salina was right to make the decision to take charge of me.

All I can do is be in charge without moving. I think my health will be severely drained due to my responsibility. Plus, there are a lot of healing pills (potions) in the backpack.

"Ha ha! Saine, how much longer?

"About 500 meters?"

"Ok! I'm going last minute!

Sarina, who disturbed her breathing a little, checks the distance to the next staircase. It stays running for about 10 minutes. I would probably reach the stairs in a few minutes, thinking I would definitely be there.

If that's what you think, the overlapping slimes like walls were blocking the aisle. Before I knew what it was, Mr. Alfred, who was running behind him, instantly cast magic and defeated the overlapping slime.

"Wow......"

Will I be able to release my skills while running?

No, Mr. Alfred is a flaming sorcerer who belongs to a brave party. Compared to me is wrong in itself.

Soon the stairs looked down, and we took a breath of the line.

"Well. I wonder what the trick is next."

"What is it...... the mark of the note?

On the door, where the stairs would be, the marks of the notes and the paintings of the people. The painting, like singing a song, looked kind of nice.

Mr. Alfred and Mr. Saine said at the same time, "Do you sing songs?" and say the answer. I think I probably do too, but what kind of trick is it to react to a song?

"Yeah yeah! I don't know any songs at all!? I've always been an archaic sword..."

"I'm something similar. Signe, you're good at singing because you're going to sing at church, right?

First Mr. Salina says he can't, and then Mr. Alfred goes on. And your nomination goes to Mr. Saine. Sure, I have the image of singing hymns and stuff when it's a church.

The church in this world doesn't know if it has it either. But if you take Mr. Alfred's word for it, there seems to be something called a song in the church.

"Ugh, I hope it meets your expectations. Unfortunately, I'm in charge of the chorus, not the main melody."

"Oh, I see. How's Hinami?

"Is that me? Uh, I like the song... but I don't care if you say you're good."

"That's settled."

Alfred's voice, along with Salina's and Saine's gaze, is pointed at me.

... Is that it? This is definitely for me, isn't it? Sure, the song and the piano are my hobbies or stunts, but the blanks are long too, right?

If you look at the Salinas who thought so but are a little sweaty...... all you can say is yes.

"Nice to meet you, Hinami!

"I asked for it."

"Looking forward to it."

Ugh, the three expected glances pour on me. That's just a little bit, I don't know, embarrassing. I used to sing at presentations, but the situation is different.

But if you don't get hungry. I close my eyes quietly and take one big deep breath.

It's okay, I can do it right.

"La, la, la, la... la, la..."

Once I uttered the word, it was already my world from there.

Why is singing so much fun? Everything shut down from me, both the sound of the slime jumping and the voices of Mr. Alfreds.

Speak out thoughtfully. I hope my voice reaches me during this floor. Listen to my song, please open the door downstairs!

"La, la..."

I mumble and thank the last passage.

We got it! And I see everyone with that face. You tried to applaud me, the moment everyone tried to hold hands together, a high voice sounded on the spot.

"Ugh! Hinami, you finally summoned me!

To that dialogue that kind of feels like deja vu, I recall I was. When I sing with my thoughts, I can summon Mr. Kirari, the Spirit of Light.

"Hello," he says, apologizing for what he hastily doesn't normally call.

'Fine. But you're in a rare place.'

"Mr. Kirari, do you know this place?

'Yeah, I know. How many times have I met the Lord here?

Playing with her fingers twirling her beautiful golden hair, Mr. Kilari turns his body toward the stairs twirling her skirt.

In a dress with lots of ribbons and flowers, wings on the back. The figure is divine and makes me wonder if this world exists for Mr. Kirari.

'You're only on the fourth floor, right here. Oh, yeah. Hinami, what can I do for you?

"Ah, uh. The conditions for the appearance of the stairs were the song... so I did the song. I'm sorry I called you out of the blue."

'Oh, that's what happened. Fine, it's been a long time since I've seen Hinami. Besides, thank you for saving Master Lettysreel. Thank you, Hinami. "

"Wow!

Master Kirari, fluttered and smiled, that already seemed... happy. He mouths me softly on my forehead, and I raise my voice in surprise.

What the hell!? That's what I thought, but most of the time I was wrapped in a light.

"My blessing. Take it, Hinami. See you later. '

"Huh!? Ah, Mr. Kirari!... gone."

Mr. Kilari, with his finger on his lips and a smile, disappeared as he was. I saw the stairs down to the fifth floor in front of me, and I was kind of in a hurry... speaking of which, I turned around and there were three delicate faces.

"……… Hinami, who is that now?"

"Uh, it's Kirari, the Spirit of Light."

"Why did you show up?"

"Well, I can summon you to sing."

"Ho?

Wait, wait! Mr. Alfred, I'm kind of scared of your face!?

Your eyes are fixed, right?!? Seeing Jitori and me, I quickly realized that I was apparently surprised by Mr. Kirari's presence.

If you look away from that sharp glance and look at Mr. Salina, "That's Hinami. I knew it was what I thought," and I'm as happy as I am about myself. Speaking of Mr. Saine, he's just smiling beside Mr. Salina without saying anything.

If you look at Mr. Alfred again while you think that no one is going to help me... now he smiled with a grin.

"Looks like Hinami's gonna have to ask a lot of questions, huh?

"What... ahahaha?

Laugh and deceive for now, but I don't think there's anything I can do anymore. All I have to do is exchange diaries with Master Rig, but I can't just say this.

Ugh and I'm worried, but I don't know what to do... I can stroke my head with Pong.

"Mr. Alfred?

"Ha..."

"Uh?

"I don't force myself to ask. Personal abilities are not something you tell people. Instead, if you're washing up here and talking to me, it's a sermon."

Oh, no!

I'm afraid of Mr. Alfred with a smile. But you can only snort because it's what you say and do about me. Always, Mr. Alfred is doing well, and I can't get my head up.

"Well, well, Al. For now, let's move on."

"... right. The next floor was a floor with nothing, for sure. In the meantime, let's take a break there."

"Right. Mr. Hinami must be tired of a dungeon he can't be, right?

Mr. Saine cares about me as a novice to the dungeon. However, I was wondering if this floor was as tired as everyone else because Salina was in charge of it.

Yeah. Whatever you think, Mr. Salina is better than me.

Fifth basement rest space: relax

Slowly down the stairs, we came to the break space.

There's a desk and a couch there, and I can see that it was really made for a break. Why the hell? Is this the Lord's intention in this dungeon?

Looks like there's a living space at the bottom, and if we get there, do we know what it is?

"Hinami, are you okay?

"Yes, thank you very much. How long are you taking a break?

"In the meantime, I'm not sure when I'll be able to take the next break, so let's get some sleep."

I see.

Nodding to Mr. Saine's words, I deposit my body on the couch. We can't all sleep together, so me and Mr. Alfred rest at first. Next, Mr. Saine and Mr. Salina rest.

Because this division is a combination of combat and support jobs.

"You can sleep, Hinami. You must be relieved to be here, your body is looking for a break."

"Yes…… Thank you very much."

Mr. Alfred took the blanket out of his magic bag and put it on me. I think they told me to go to sleep, no questions asked.

But I can't help but sleep to see if the thread of tension has been cut from the moment I sit on the couch. Although I may have no choice because I walk more than I usually do.

"Good night, Hinami"

"Good night."

Mr. Salina and Mr. Saine are also coming to put me to bed.

I wanted to talk to you a little more, but I had no choice. I slowly close my eyes and twirl them into a fluffy blanket.

Oh, but... I remember the last time I wanted to check my status. If you crush "status" like a bedtime speech, the status appears only for a moment but disappears quickly.

I'm sleepy, so I'll check when I wake up. Let's do that.
