What?
　Marina's stern words cast a questioning glance at them.
　But I don't think Marina is trying to deceive me, nor is she trying to imitate me like this without any meaning.
　That being the case, Vihela determines that her spherical emerald always has some meaning, and places it on the ground.

"And, Marina, will you tell me what's going on?"

　The emerald Vihela moves away from the emerald to the marina.
　Naturally, Bune, who first found the emerald, had moved with Viehla to the marina.
　Not only Vichela and Bune, but also Elena, Arra, and Ray look at the serious faces of Marina.
　What the hell happened?
　There's nothing we can do about it at the moment unless we know it, but we don't know why Marina's face is so serious about emeralds.

"This emerald... contains spirits, which are quite high and insane."
"What?"

　Many questions come out of their mouths.
　Many people knew what spirits were like.
　It's only natural that I've seen Marina use spiritual magic so many times.
　That's why Marina has spoken of spirits, but she doesn't look so serious... or so serious.
　I didn't wonder what was going on, but it would be clear that the answer lies in the mad spirit.
　The question is, don't you know what the mad spirit is like?

"In the first place, are spirits crazy? No, I understand that there is a kind of course.

　Ray's muttering was also a question for everyone who had heard it.
　Originally, there are very few wizards, and even fewer wizards can be seen among wizards when it comes to spirit magic.
　Ray and others are usually on the marina's side, so I don't feel that way.
　Nevertheless, I understand only the rough side of spiritual magic.
　That's why I wondered when I heard from Marina that crazy spirits were sealed in emeralds.

"Of course, it is very rare for spirits to go crazy. I have never seen them myself, but... I know that they are bound to contain crazy spirits, perhaps because they use spirit magic."

　It's only because you're a spirit wizard that you can tell.
　Ray and his colleagues are convinced that this is what it is.
　Most of the non-marina people are here only with some special ability.
　That's probably why Marina's words made sense.

"And if there is a mad spirit, and then what shall we do? I see that leaving it alone is not the best option."

　Everyone looks at Marina at Ray's words.
　Marina opens her mouth after a moment of thought.

"At least I can't keep it as it is. I don't know when it's been sealed in emeralds or why it's been in this sealed underground space."

　Marina's mouth was a question that everybody felt.
　This should have been a completely closed space until Grimm pretended to connect the ground and here by a passage.
　But why is there an emerald containing insane spirits in such a place?

(What? Grimm? ...isn't it emerald that Grimm put down for some reason, is it?

　Grimm's lab and this space should already be connected.
　If that's the case, maybe... maybe there's really such a possibility is it?
　I thought so, but there is also a question as to why Grimm would do such a thing.
　and at the same time he thought it was not surprising that Grimm could trap the Spirit in a jewel.
　It doesn't taste good to mention Grimm's name in a place with Arla and Bune.
　When Ray decides so, he gently opens his mouth as he approaches Marina, staring at the emerald on the ground.

"Well, Marina. Maybe... really, maybe it's Grimm's work."
"What?"

　Marina looks completely taken aback by Ray's words.
　It's only natural that I couldn't understand why I put emeralds that sealed the insane spirits here.
　But at the same time, Grimm, who was connecting the lab to this space, felt that it might be possible to do such a thing.

"...but do you do that?"
"To be honest, I don't know, but you know Grimm can do it, right?"
"That's..."

　Marina was aware of Grimm's absurdity, so she understood what Ray meant.

"Well, if you think about it normally... to find out something about that whisper."

　Ray told me so, but I'm sure he knows what it would do to put an emerald containing a crazy spirit.

"Then you ought not to touch this emerald?"
"I think you'd better do that. If this is really Grimm's work, it must mean something."
"Yes. ... All right."

　The words he gave to Ray seemed genuinely regrettable.
　I wanted to avoid the idea of a marina who uses spirit magic, if possible, of leaving a mad spirit as it is.
　I'd like to somehow free the Spirit from the jewels and get him out of his madness.
　It's only natural for Marina to think so.
　But when it comes to Grimm, you can't be careless.
　Though undead, Marina has been rescued by Grimm many times.
　Of course, Marina herself has not been saved so much, but if you think about it at the party called the Wings of the Red Lotus to which Marina belongs, you can say that she is deeply indebted for helping Vihela and for her eyeballs.
　That is why I could not act rashly in this case.

"Ray, can you listen to it later?"

　Confirming Ray nods to the words, Marina calls out to other people watching her from a distance.

"I'd like to do something about this gem, but I can't deny it's affecting Whisp in any way. So I'm afraid I'll keep this emerald here."
"Are you sure you're a spirit?"

　Vihela questions Marina's words.
　Others were looking unspeakably suspiciously at the marina.
　It's only natural that I had been talking about the insanity of the spirits, but I suddenly realized that what I was saying was completely reversed.
　If you know Marina, it's only natural that you wonder if she's not a Vihela.

"Yes. It's probably quite meaningful to have it here, so if you move it out of here badly, you never know what's going to happen."

　I don't know what Grimm thought of putting this jewel here.
　But if it had any significant implications, it could certainly have been the worst possible outcome.
　though it is not known whether Grimm really placed the sealed emerald of this mad spirit.

(It's true that I don't know, but that's the only possibility considering that there's such a thing here.)Looking at Marina, Ray muses deeply.
　Elena and Vihela, who knew Grimm, must have had something in mind about her.
　I won't go further than that and ask you anything.
　And if Elena and Vichela remain silent, Arra, who is intoxicated with Elena, and Bune, who was not so interested in her, will also remain silent.

"Now, if you have this emerald-like thing, you can take it easy to look around the underground space."
"Well... "

　Ray's words put a contrite look on his face.
　Of course, for Bune's part, he found a huge emerald... that would be a good deal of money to sell, but the insanity of the spirit kept him out of his hands.
　Bune also wants emeralds, but doesn't need any crazy spirits sealed there.
　If you sell such a thing, it's tantamount to making a mess of it.
　But... even though he knew it, or perhaps that's why he still wanted to find something of value in this underground space.
　It was impossible not to complain because Ray had said something to ban it in such a situation.

"I understand Bune's feelings, but think about it for a moment, that the first thing you found in this situation was an emerald that contained a mad spirit, and if you think about it, do you think it's really normal?"

　Marina's explanation could not have been more convincing.
　That's such a powerful persuasion that the listener would have no choice but to agree with.
　It's easy to imagine what the things that fall into this space might look like, given that the first thing I casually found was... something that could have been called a bad joke.
　That's why, unfortunately, Bune had no choice but to nod to Marina's words.

"Well, isn't that enough of the tour here? I've seen Whisp, too. ... I can only leave what exactly this Whisp is like to the researchers that Mr. Dusker has prepared."

　At the very least, Ray is not familiar with what we call monsterology.
　I knew as much about ordinary whips as I read a book of monsters.
　What will happen if I act like I touch this whisper carelessly?
　It only seems to have the worst consequences, just to think about it.
　Ray, who has enormous magical powers, is not sure how the extra touches will affect him.

"Yes,"

　Finally, when Bune nodded as if he had given up, the result was that no one would complain any more, and that they would leave this underground space.
　... when Elena, Marina, and Vichela, who knew Grimm, looked at him... when Grimm asked them what was going on, they must have told themselves.
　Marina's gaze is very serious, especially since the insane spirit was contained.

(If Grimm says that he has sealed the Spirit in the emerald for fun, I think he will fight against him if Marina cannot forgive him. ... Please, Grimm. Don't tell me he has done this for fun?)

　Fortunately, the Elenas seemed to leave the conversation with Grimm to themselves, so if Grimm really said such a thing, they would need to mislead him.
　Thinking this way, the Rays move out of the underground space.
　...because he was thinking about Grimm, he probably didn't notice.
　The huge whips floating in the underground space were blinking.





"Well... I don't hate underground spaces like that, but it's good to be under the sun like this."

　Out of the underground passageway, the Vihela stretches greatly.
　At that time, the extremely rich Souoka made a strong case for himself, but Vihela does not seem to be embarrassed about it.
　Originally, only women are here except Ray, and Ray can be seen. ... No, I wanted him to be the only one.
　Vichela, looking at Ray for a moment, regretted that he was looking in the wrong direction, but soon realized that his exposed ears were red as he took off his hood and nodded with satisfaction.

"And what are you going to do now? Do you want to go and report to Dusker?"

　Marina, watching Viehla and Ray communicate, asks Ray.
　He had decided that he might as well cooperate with Ray's temptation as he normally does, but given the current circumstances, he should proceed.
　Ray thought about the emerald for a moment and then decided to keep it a secret but report anything else.
