When Luna Maria and Leah descended the cliff, the first thing they saw was a rock-covered legion.

　Although twitching, it was the last of the Legion's life force. The crushed part is rotting away instead of repairing.

　But that doesn't matter.
　What Lunamaría and the others wanted to know was whether Will was safe.
　Lunamaria and the others split up to look for him, but there was no one around.

...... no way.

　I have a bad feeling about this.

　Maybe it's underneath this big rock, you think, and so you peer at it, or maybe Lunamaria is blind and concentrates on the area around the rock.

　Then I see something there.
　You notice that blood is flowing from underneath the rock.
　It's not Legion's blood. It's because Legion doesn't bleed.

...... something's wrong.

　Lunamaría barely chooses a word.

...... impossible. Master Will is dead.

　Lunamaria says so and bursts into tears.


...... Oh my God, what a stupid woman I am. If I had known this would happen, I would have stopped Master Will at all costs.

"...... because I took Master Will out of that happy mountain. I took him out of that happy mountain.

...... I don't care about the Demon King. I don't care about the Demon King, I don't care if he conquers this world, Mother Earth, please revive Master Will.


　When Lunamaria is lamenting, Leah pats her on the shoulder.
　She did not speak hatefully, but said to a heartbroken Lunamaria.

...... Lunamaria.
　And.

　A simple hug might have brought a friendship between the two of them. But not here.

　Rather, the feud grows.
　Because Leah knows that the body under the rock is not Will.
　It was Leah's prank to show any sign of grief.
　You felt bad, and soon you'll come clean.

"I mean, you're such an idiot. Will wouldn't die like this. It was chimera blood.

"...... huh?

　Lunamaria turns to Leah.

"Are you sure?

True, I mean, I was wondering what it would look like if I didn't say anything, but there's chimera blood in there, because it's green.

　It's inconvenient to be blind in these situations.
　Leah blurted out and grabbed her by the shoulders, flipping Luna Maria over.

"There's a mark there, like they dug in the dirt. Watch, no, listen. It's going to start moving.

　Then, as she proclaimed, it begins to twitch.

"Well, no way.

"Secret technique, the art of seduction!　--Oh, my God. Well, Will can dig a hole and hide in it on the spur of the moment. Maybe you used the matrimony to lure the chimera out of its cave, got it to fight the chimera and Legion, and then dove in.

...... Mr. Will.

　Leah's explanation had not fallen on Lunamaría's ears.

　She concentrated on the sound of raking and shoveling. Seconds later, a gnarled hand emerged from the dirt. Will's head, too.

　After all, Will had dived down into the hole and passed the rocks.

　When the dirt-covered Will emerged from the hole, he heard Legion's death and then turned to face Lunamaria and the others.

I've managed to stay alive.

"Mr. Will: ......

　Lunamaria filled her eyes with tears and dove into Will's chest.

　Leah silently watched it from a distance. Apparently realizing that the prank had gone too far.


　I escape from the dirt and embrace with Luna Maria.
　I enjoy her softness for a moment, but I can't stay like that forever.
　Even though we've defeated the guardian, we're in the middle of a dungeon.
　Besides, Leah was sitting on a tree stump and stretching boringly.
　There's more to it than mockery and mischief.

　So I let go of her shoulder and we agreed to leave the dungeon.

　There was no reason for us to stay in the dungeon, so that opinion was accepted.
　And so we conquered the Dungeon of the Meadow.


　Compliments!


　As a reward for the magical coming back shield, a talking shield.
　As she leaves the dungeon, she speaks to me again.


"Keep up the good work, Will. And your sisters.


　Of course, the voice is only audible to me, but still the holy shield seems to want to get along with us.

　There seems to be more to the journey and I was very happy to hear that.
