A large mass of light floating in front of him in the darkness.

　That it was Fraxinus's consciousness, or soul, I understood without having to be explained.

''It seems the time has come for me to fulfill my promise to you.
'Promise ......?　What in the world are you talking about: ......
"I have promised to share with you what I know about ancient magical civilizations.

　It's true that when we defeated the magical beast Skoll and regained the light from the ceiling, he promised to tell us this information as soon as he cleared his memory.

　But why now?

　I'm not sure what to do about it.
　I'm sure you'll find that the threat from the automatons thought to be Agart Ram has yet to be eliminated.

''We are only conscious beings now. The exchange up to this point is only a second's lapse in reality.''

　It's a very good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

It's a very good idea to be able to have a good time with your friends. '

　--However, not many of them did the same thing as us, and they were in a very unique position at the time.

　The leader of the seven is the greatest wizard and researcher of his day, a human man who was called both Nameless and Alphasul.

　The majority of the remaining members were also names I was familiar with.

　Gandalf, Prince of the Dark Elves. Ail, the Bastard of the Sacred Forest.
　Flaxinus, the Cuttings of the Millennial Tree, the Tree Man (Dryad).
　Ivaldi the Dwarf, the Revolutionary Child of Magic.

　These five were the initial members, with two more joining later.

　A priestess of the East, Hinokagahime, a priestess of the East.
　And Loki, a magic researcher of unknown race, Loki--

'We did our best to discover and study new mysteries and to develop our magical civilization. The most prominent of course was Alfazul, but I remember that the second most prominent was Loki. However, ......

　-- Loki had been researching 'something' on his own, keeping the details of it under wraps even from his friends.

　Its true identity was revealed after Loki spread its product ...... artifact named Medallion around the world--

"The medallion artifact Loki created was designed to absorb the magical power of its surroundings to form a body known as a magical or divine beast.
The medallion: "The medallion: ...... No way.
'It could have been an invention that could have been of great benefit to the world if used correctly. But Loki has managed to carelessly spread a threat that could have destroyed the world several times over.

　--his motives remained unknown after all, Fraxinus added piteously.

　Loki was deservedly sentenced to the extreme penalty, but the recovery of the medallion, which had been scattered in disorder, was extremely difficult.

　Although Alfazul also made an effort to take responsibility for the actions of his companions, he finally concluded that a world-destroying disaster was faster to materialize than the sealing of all the medallions, so he decided to do the next best thing.

"By creating a huge space underground that replicates the natural environment, the gods and beasts will reach their limits of activity and self-destruct for a long period of time before the environment above ground is restored. ...... In other words, we have developed what the people on Earth call a dungeon. It is.

　A dwarf from the Demon King's Castle Realm once said.
　Alphasul is the creator god of the world they live in.

　No way, no way. That was definitely the literal meaning.

'Of course, not all dungeons were created by Alfazul. He revealed his method to the entire world and encouraged the creation of countless dungeons everywhere in parallel.''
............
'After all the preparations were made, Alfazul lost his life with several particularly powerful divine beasts in his path. Then, me, Gandalf, and Ivaldi, this dungeon created by Alfazul himself--''
'Wait for ......!　Wait!

　He rebooted his head, which had nearly stopped at the unbelievable testimony, and hurriedly interrupted Flaxinus' narrative.

'Surely that's what we wanted to hear!　But!　Why now?　We'll be fine after the fight with those guys is over!

　There is not the slightest intention to rush the answer.
　There's no reason why we can't wait until after the battle with the automaton is over.

　It's enough to ask slowly after the troubles are over.

　But Fraxinus is in an unnatural hurry to fulfill his promise.

　In the midst of a fierce battle, Fraxinus' 【Restoration】 somehow got on track, and Garnett and the others joined up, and the battle lines were just beginning to pick up.

''You're not going to say that 【Restoration】 didn't make it in time, are you?　I don't think so!　I can see well into this 'right eye'!
"...... Yeah. I can't thank you enough for your healing abilities. But they did bring out the giant Muspel's medallion. Perhaps they were responsible for the appearance of the magical beast Skoll.

　The medal-shaped artifact found when you defeated the demonic beast Skoll: ...... So that was the medallion.

It's not just a matter of time before you get to the bottom of this. As an administrator, I'll at least settle the matter before that happens.
It's settled: ......?
"I don't intend to take my life easily, but a stabbing wound is extremely likely against a fire giant, so I'll have to make an appointment with you first at .......
You're kidding me.

　I was reflexively screaming from the pit of my stomach.

　There was a whirlwind of emotions that couldn't be described in one word, but the biggest one was anger.

　And it was not at the automatons, but at Fraxinus.

'Don't lick my people!　You look so weak that you need to be protected like that!　We've always fought for our lives!　That's when you defeated the hexenbiest Skoll!

　Garnett, Sakura, and even Ezell are not fighting because they have no choice but to get involved.

　They have thrown themselves into the fight of their own volition, without a doubt.

　The first thing he wants to do is to avenge his late mother's death with the first blow.
　To stop the murderous actions of an opponent with whom he has a history through his father.
　To show his great parents that he can be a brave man.

　What do you call it if you don't call it an insult to keep those guys away from a fight just because it's dangerous in the guise of fearing for their safety?

"If you have to fight because you're responsible for the administration, don't think that you're going to settle this case for us!　...... At times like this, it's time to fight a(n) one(n) war(n) at a time(n). Isn't that right, Admin Fraxinus?
