"... what situation do you think it is?

That's what she said when she asked Lorraine, who was circling her thoughts with her hands on her chin next door as I leaned her neck tightly.

"... something similar happened before. This would be the same as then."

"I knew it... that's that one, right?

"Ah. During my labyrinth exploration, I was caught in an inter-labyrinth transfer trap and met an adventurer from another continent... that's it"

Lorraine said it with a difficult face because things got pretty troublesome.

Briefly recalling the previous......

When I was diving into the Labyrinth of the Crescent Moon with Lorraine, I unfortunately stepped on a transfer trap and was flown once.

Usually, me and Lorraine's eyes can discover such things at a relatively early stage, but I couldn't do it then.

Probably because it was a pretty special trap.

Me, too, in a long adventurer's life, it was the first thing I saw then, and so was Lorraine.

It's just that we were lucky enough to meet a veteran adventurer in the labyrinth over there and manage to get back to where we started.

Is that the nature of the "Interlabyrinth Transfer Trap"... because it is not always just one way outbound, but there is also a return path.

In other words, there is always a way home if you look for it in the flying distance.

We found our way home by getting the help of local adventurers.

"I didn't expect you to get caught again...... can't you discover that one?

"At least you don't seem to catch on to the Devil's Eye like any other trap. If it gets caught up and runs again, it will disappear. Trouble..."

As we talked about that, me and Lorraine sighed,

"... So, did you convince yourself?

And, I can talk from side to side.

The Lord of that voice, of course, is not me or Lorraine, but the person who has been before us since earlier. I'm about fifteen years old boy...... this was a pretty odd person.

He obviously looks like a boy.

It's just not half magic from my eyes.

To be honest, I've never seen anything more powerful than Dragon.

That's it.

Lorraine had been having an unusual conversation earlier, but I can tell.

To say that I am forced to be quite nervous.

If you look closely, you have a little cold sweat seeping into your neck muscles...

To her, it's quite unusual.

"... Your brother-in-law," Stay. "You don't have to be so hasty...... I didn't think it would remain that way, such as a metastasis trap, but where it actually appeared we saw it clearly, too. I don't even think it would be so easy to understand what's going on... if humans were caught up in that."

Following the boy, it was the boy and the girl who told him that in a polite tone.

It has beautiful silver hair and is a light outfit that is very unlikely to be in the labyrinth.

For once, he seems to have a weapon... what is it?

That looked decorative for some reason.

I'm here. I guess I'll wave that one and relate to the demon, and I feel the power that I can actually do that... or this girl is a bit of an unthinkable presence, after all.

What the hell is this pair of people?

If possible, I'd like to escape with Lorraine right now.

However, I know that's impossible, and I also know that I'm not thinking logically about the need to do it because it's a friendly atmosphere again.

So for now, let me talk to you for a minute to sort my head out, and I told you to wait.

Not quite yet, to a certain extent, calmed down.

That's why I tell them.

"... no. I can't say I figured everything out, but I understood the situation for now. I'm sorry you had to wait...... I'm Lent Vivier. He is an adventurer based in the border city of Multo in the Kingdom of Yarlan. The class is copper."

I named the Vivier surname because it's an adventurer official wherever he is, so it's a name I can insist on.

In some cases, if you ask Wolf, he might even make it disappear.

I don't want to borrow it... but I'm caught up in strange things in strange places.

In this case, you can't replace your belly on your back, right?

Go on, Lorraine, too,

"I'm Lorraine Vivier. Likewise, he is a Malt-based adventurer. Class is silver...... so, you two...?

That's what I asked.

To this the boy and the girl look at each other and tilt their necks slightly.

You seemed to wonder something, but for now you thought you needed to introduce yourself, first the boy opened his mouth better.

"... I'm Lulu. It's Lulu Cadisnora, an adventurer... intermediate. There is no particular base. You feel like you're going around the world. So this way..."

The girl also says when prompted.

"I am Iris Cadisnora. I'm an intermediate, just like your brother-in-law. Likewise, we look around the world. I actually have one more with me, a party member, but as I explore this ruin, I have them waiting upstairs to take a look at the carriage"

I see, these two seem to be party members.

Besides...

"I see, the same last name means... are you two brothers and sisters"

Lulu snorted more at my words,

"Oh. Don't be like that. Even so, the blood is not connected."

"... bad. Have you heard anything extra?

"No? 'Cause I never really cared... right, Illis"

"Yeah, of course. It's decided better. Yeah."

With strange force, Illis groaned so.

... Well, me and Lorraine guess that kind of relationship.

And then, when Iris saw me and Lorraine,

"Speaking of which, you both have the same last name. Does that mean... are you a couple?

"No..."

That's why I almost answered, and Lorraine was in my ear,

(It's a hassle to explain, can I leave it at this time? It's a different continent anyway.)

I've said things like that, so well... I thought that would be the case too, I tell Illis again.

"Well, I guess that..."

And it would have been admirable to say it in an ambiguous way.

to this. Iris abruptly embarked on a

"I knew it! I thought you looked great! So... how did you two get married? Again, did you approach it from Mr. Lorraine!? No, I kind of feel like this Lent looks like your brother-in-law...... I know (...) but I feel the vibe that keeps melting, so I'd like you to teach me how to break down who said that...... of course, I'll play thanks! Right, how about ancient magic or something? If it belongs to the junction system, there's already a lineup that can prevent anything from being magic cannoned or banned..."

and so on and began to question and attack.

What you're saying is quite noisy, what is this girl, it was me who started pulling, but when I looked behind her, Lulu with a subtle look turned his gaze on this one, and when I understood that he had eyes, I made a small call.

I'm moving toward Sora and Lulu so that Iris and Lorraine don't notice me.

"... well, what. Sorry about our sister-in-law..."

I felt somewhat intimate with Lulu, who said I was sorry.

Because I felt the same hard-won air.

Of course, I know that the power I have, is incomparable, and I know that I have the strength to pierce my will.

But still... there was something sympathetic about it.

"No... ours... what, my wife too... because that's a bit of it. No problem......"

I thought Lorraine would be stuffed by Iris and cluttered up, and it would be the same thing because Iris changed the color of his eyes around his mouth about magic and conversed with him as he blew out a maddening aura no different from Iris.

That's what I thought.

"I'd appreciate it if you'd say that...... so, she's a pretty good grown lady. Somehow like that."

That's what Lulu says in a disappointing way.

"... are you two aristocrats?

"... ah. Well, it's not that high of a title, but it's a lot out there."

I don't know why I got a little stuck in the answer.

Just don't go in there wondering if there are a lot of circumstances.

I'll tell you about Lorraine myself.

"And my wife... she's supposed to be from a good place... but it's probably what it feels like to grow up a lady unexpectedly."

"If so, that's a horrible story. But fortunately, I haven't met that many daughters yet. Lent, it's about your wife."

"Me too, Lulu, about your sister. I guess that doesn't mean the noble daughters of the world. Nevertheless...... what Illis said earlier, can you really teach ancient magic etc?

I'm the one who talks and asks about important things.

I thought this might be made fun of because it's a really important story, but unexpectedly Lulu answered briefly.

"Yeah, because Illis is pretty familiar with ancient magic. I guarantee you I can teach you enough. It's just... it's subtle if it makes sense."

I tilt my neck to Lulu, who added a strange word at the end.

"What do you mean?

"You still don't get it... right. For example, you are... a monster, aren't you?

I'm surprised at the abruptly said dialogue.

So much so that I worry for a moment about what to give back.

Because it was so natural, with no foreshadow whatsoever, a normal question.

Lulu laughed a little at my reaction,

"... bad. That was a sudden pass. I'm not going to do anything... just to make sure."

That's what I say.

Whether this is for real or not, it should bother you if it is meant to be.

But in the first place, I know Lulu has powers that I can't fathom.

If that's what you're serious about, you can do as much as I can in a flash.

And yet you don't have to go out of your way to sickle.

So I could honestly accept that word.

I say.

"... ah. Because all of a sudden... I'm a monster indeed. I'm not sure what demon it is... I was just a human being. Until then."

You'd be stunned if you told a normal person. This confession doesn't seem like a big deal to Lulu either.

"Heh. Sometimes that happens... it won't be impossible to do that artificially... naturally do you mean? Interesting stuff."

"... can you do it artificially"

"Well, in this world (...), I used to be able to. I don't know about you guys. By the way, thanks for revealing my secret. I'll reveal mine, too."

He seems oddly instrumental, and that's what Lulu said.

"... doesn't look like you have any secrets?

"You do. This is... don't be surprised, huh?

"Ah."

"... who I am is Luluslia Nord, the 100th generation demon king"

"... Huh?

It was an honest feeling about what you were talking about.

But thank you. Lulu himself seems very serious.

"Well, that's how you react. But it's true... well, technically, it's a rebirth. I can show you the power of proof..."

"No, I know your powers are in isolation from normal."

"Really? But you can't believe I'm the Demon King?

"No, because there are four demon kings... but none of them have a different name, and are they inheritance in the first place...?

"Oh, I see. Is that what you mean? I have to explain it to you..."

Something convinces Lulu, he tells me again.

"Well, maybe you realize somehow... this is a different world from the one you and Lorraine live in. So the world itself works differently. History, too. Only magic seems to be common... so similar magic would work, but it would be different at all. Even if we learn that from each other, maybe we won't understand it deep down until we spend a fair amount of time"

"... another, world?

"That's right. In the first place, we've never heard of your country or your neighborhood. On the contrary, the language is completely different. The reason I'm communicating is because I'm exercising that kind of magic. It's right that we're passing on our thoughts."

I wanted to say what was stupid, but the truth is I've been feeling uncomfortable since earlier.

Because Lulu's words and his mouth move as if they were different.

It even looks like ventriloquism or something.

That supported what Lulu was saying to be true.

I guess Lulu also briefly revealed that he was the rebirth of the Demon King, because he had no problem trying to pass it on to people in other worlds.

And that, on the other hand, also assures me of the possibility of my identity being exposed.

No matter how much Lulu talks, it won't affect me...

No, if I could just go back to where I came from, I'd talk about it.

I guess I understood all kinds of thoughts and worries running around my head.

Lulu waited for me to calm down for a while.

And I say it again where my thoughts have come together.

"Well... you'll be confused, but what, you don't have to worry. Travelers from other worlds like you were rare a long time ago. I'm also making sure I can always go home if I want to... you said something like you came in a metastasis trap?

"Oh...... it should be. I wasn't able to confirm it clearly, but I've had the same experience before."

"Then there must be the same transfer trap nearby to make sure you return to the original world. That's what happened before..."

Hit me on the shoulder so you can help me, and that's what you say, Lulu.

I ask in wonder.

"Why are you so kind to me?

Lulu laughed at this,

"... because I feel something kind of close. Me and you, we're trying to tame the world, but it's actually foreign. Can we work with each other, the bouncers?

"Nothing, I'm not going to be played... but I'm going back to being a human one of these days"

"Oh well. If that's what you think, there will always be a day when you can be... you're not making fun of me, are you?

"I know... well, if that's the case, I'd like to take that cooperation, thank you. I wish I could thank you for something..."

"Thank you...... then can I ask for it?

"What? I'll do whatever I can."

"Can you give me that mask?

"... bad. I can't do that."

"Why not?

"No, I can't take it off if I want to... and some parts of it are helping because of its properties."

"I see, you want to hide your face. So, can I have a little on the edge, to the extent that I don't compromise my function? I'm interested in materials from different worlds..."

"... well, that's about it. Or can you do that?

"I can do it. Anyway, I'm the Demon King...

That said, Lulu grabs the edge of the mask.

Then when I could force myself like a panacea, the edge of the mask, which had never broken no matter what I did with all that, broke with just a little, pakiri, noise.

"... are you serious"

"Well, don't hesitate to take it."

"I don't mind... would you be free to remove it anyway?

When I asked for it, Lulu shook his head to the side.

"We can remove it, but then we won't be able to use our current features anymore. If that's okay..."

I cry because I'm in trouble.

"Okay. I'll give up..."

That's what I said.

To this, Lulu,

"Well, that's coming off someday, too. Anything can come true if you wish. I can't believe I wanted to start all over again. I could have been reborn."

"... you're a little out of standard"

"You mutate from person to demon, you keep it sane. You're pretty good from me, too."

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"... hey, Lulu"

"What, Lent?

"Do we really need to go through here?

"Well, we've looked everywhere else, haven't we? And then, if there's a metamagic team, there's only one way to go. In scope."

"Right... So, we're gonna have to..."

"That's what I'm talking about"

All I feel is despair when it comes to Lulu, who answers at his leisure.

Even Lorraine has the face that this might not be a good idea, but Iris still seemed to be able to afford it.

For what, it is against demons that sit in the huge space in front of them.

They say the true king firedragon Shin Oukaru, the demon of this world, was there.

The sense of size is comparable to the ground dragon I've seen before, and the amount of magic and pressure I have is similar.

I mean, you can't win.

It is such a being.

Yet the transition magic team, which is on the way home, is likely to be beyond this room.

They just have to fight.

But Lulu and Iris said to me and Lorraine, who were about to peek into this room and decide that they couldn't, because we were going to live in this world anymore.

"No problem because we'll work together. If that's the case, I don't mind you staying back all the time."

"Don't worry, I'll tie the line so you two won't get hurt. Besides, with the junction technique I taught you earlier, you can prevent enough True King Fire Dragon braces."

Do that.

And Lulu told me,

"... right. I'll give Lent a shot at strengthening his body. I saw the swordsmanship you showed me by the time I got here, and I think if I had enough physical abilities, I'd be able to fight my True King Fire Dragon opponent enough... like this place"

That's what made me do physical strengthening magic in a light way, but this was really awesome.

Hundreds of times the usual...... No, I even felt like I had gained hundreds of times more power.

Surely if I could fight this, it would be enough to think from the bottom of my heart.

"Well, guys, let's go"

That's what Lulu said and opened the door, so we followed suit.

However, even so, it was me who actually felt a little less compelling when I saw it in front of me.

I thought Lorraine was a boulder because in her natural temperament she was able to concentrate on releasing magic without losing pressure.

Still, in my heart, I'd be worried.

But the worry also blew away, at the next moment, at the dawn of the battle and shortly after seeing the power of Lorraine's unleashed magic.

The first shot she fired was just a water bomb (Eadle Bolivas).

That should normally be big enough to blow up about a few humans no matter how much Lorraine let it go.

Yet now they have unleashed something so enormous that it cannot be compared to it.

About the size of a whole house...... I could understand with a force included that it was not half dense either. Speaking of why it happened, if you look at it, Lulu and Illis were pouring a ton of magic into Lorraine.

It reinforces witchcraft… I never heard of it before, such as being able to reinforce it so strongly in the production of others.

And, needless to say, the power of water bullets, which has been given tremendous power.

In fact, shortly after the hit, that huge True King Fire Dragon was blown up and crashed into the wall.

There is no way to miss the gap made by it, and then Lulu and Iris take it.

First of all, I wondered if Iris had jumped without a weapon or anything, and surprisingly, he shook that fist up loud and punched the belly of the Fire Dragon thoroughly.

- Yeah......!?

With that, it was such a stunning sight that such a voice was about to come out.

Strengthen your fists with physical enhancement.

Well, I know the logic, and I don't have a martial artist like that, but there's no one like that to pierce it to such a huge, mighty demonic opponent.

Yet a girl about fourteen or five years old does it and looks cool.

Besides, it goes on to tap into the rush, and True King Fire Dragon is already kept close to the sandbag.

It's as pathetic as it gets with the enemy.

He is a true king fire dragon who spreads his wings in an effort to escape from the scene.

But......

"... that feather is out of the way"

Having said that, Lulu kicked the ground and approached around the back of True King Fire Dragon, waved his sword several times.

Flowing swordsmanship, unnoticed divine speed.

What is cut off by it… is the wings of the True King Fire Dragon.

Though buoyancy is gained by magic, the foundation of it was more than on the wings. It was only natural to crash if you did that.

A lizard that fell unnecessarily on the ground and a truly king fire dragon that was finished.

Its neck is offered, and I no longer even feel sad.

Lulu and Iris, and Lorraine's gaze gathers on me.

I'm guessing that's what stomping means.

I flew all the way to the head of the True King Fire Dragon.

Literally, wings out, is.

It is not possible to use this in public first, but there is a problem in front of the demon king and his sister in the other world.

That's what I thought.

And I wield my sword with all my might.

If it were my usual sword, it would easily be bounced on the scales and wouldn't give me any scratches. I go in that skin lightly as if a heated knife were a mild cut of cheese or butter.

True King Fire Dragon couldn't help but raise his voice and tried to escape... but Lulu and Illis made him do it and held him down with sorcery and arm power.

Brace was released from his mouth to me, but it used the junctional technique that Lorraine had learned from Illis, and it protected me perfectly until my sword did completely chop off the neck of the Fire Dragon.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"... Well, now that's goodbye. Lent, Lorraine"

That's what Lulu said in front of the blurry and glowing magic formations.

Next door stands Iris,

"Sister Lorraine. It's a shame... Please, just a little bit more, so I wanted to ask you something called tips for becoming a couple..."

He was in tears saying things like that.

Lorraine, what the hell did you tell him?

Hissing and asking,

(… 100 Ways to Drop a Mighty Man I Used to Ask Married Friends)

and returned.

I thought I might have taught Lulu something extra. I look at Lulu and tell him I'm sorry.

Lulu had a dead eye for a moment, but he got back on his feet immediately,

"We should both be able to get back to where we came from if we get on it. Probably going to say goodbye to this life because you can't come here anymore...... it was fun, albeit for a short time. If there's any coincidence, I'd like to see you again."

"Neither do we... Hey, Lorraine"

"Of course. There are more things I'd like to ask of Illis… I'd expect it one day by chance."

"Sister Lorraine...... then look forward to that time. And you both, happy forever...... the next time I see you, me and I will marry you......!!

Guess what Illis started saying suspiciously, or how Lulu panicked,

"Then you both get on the magic team! Because if you leave it too long, it can disappear... Okay, you got on. See you sometime!

Waving Lulu and Illis.

The two figures are kept away by the magical light emitted from the magic formation.

And the moment I thought my surroundings were completely white, it felt like my body was being carried away somewhere, and we disappeared from the spot.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"... today is not a dream, is it?

Back home, Lorraine asked me in a dreamy tone.

"Of course. I remember clearly. Besides, here's some proof... True King Fire Dragon fangs and scales... they won't sell. Or can it be used for magic props... it's a waste and I don't know how to use it"

Strange red glowing scales and large fangs with a huge hug are placed on the desk.

This is what I got for the loot.

It was almost something that Lulu and Illis could defeat, so I gave up the bulk of the material, but these are things that I was pushed to take with me to commemorate as well.

Of course, I received it thankfully, but it was too wasteful for me and Lorraine to use it.

"... I don't know how to use the material... or the magic I learned from Illis... I can't use it. No, not at all..."

"Oh, you had that, too. About that..."

When I told Lorraine what I heard from Lulu, she looked stunned,

"The foundation... is different! I thought there was something oddly unmeshing if you ask me... but I could certainly use it over there"

"Maybe the principles are subtly different, too. The movement of magic in this world and that of the other world too. So the only way to reproduce it is to build your own new theory... so it's almost like inventing it yourself"

"... I'll do it. I'll do it! Just knowing the finished shape is very different. It's also different that you can be sure that you can. One day, I will realize that strong art of junctions too......!! And these materials... you can't use them until you can build a solid theory...!

Then a few days later, Lorraine immersed herself in research, but little seemed to stand for the realization, and a few days later, she came out of the lab with a ghostly foothold,

"... make this my life work. One day it will come true. But it's not now."

And, scratching dinner, he said something rarely like a loser.

Of course, the material was also to be stored dead, but someday, she would use these and that otherworldly sorcery to make some new invention.
