"Alec-sama Alec-sama!
Hmm?

　As I was relaxing in my room at the inn, Angier came running in happily.
　For a twelve year old, Angel is usually very mature, but it's rare to see her so excited.

What's the matter with you, Ange?
"Dear Alec, you have a guest.
"To me?　Who would come to a place like this?
It's me.

　Appearing behind Angel with a familiar voice, and entering the room was Eliza.
　It was Eliza in stealth mode.

'It's been a while,'
Yeah, it's been a while. What are you doing here?
"I've heard rumors. Rumor of a hot spring that makes you beautiful.
"Did you come here just because of a rumor?
"Have you made any inquiries to Alec's mansion?

　Eliza grins.

You're not going to come to a beauty spa just because of some dodgy catchphrase. Just remember your face the moment you try to dismiss it as "stupid".
"My?
"Yeah, I asked the house if you wanted to know what happened, and you said Alec is here. Alec has been there, and suddenly there's a big change. So the change can only be true.

　Eliza, in turn, held up three fingers and said, "I don't like the Father's criteria.

"I don't like your father's criteria.
"What's up with that?
"Let's see--

　I explained to Eliza that I had been called here.
　I explained to Eliza that I was called here, that I found a cannibalistic cave in the mountains I went searching for, and that after I blew it up, I used my magic to rebuild the mountain.
　That magic power is dissolved in the water source and is effective as a hot spring - I told Eliza a series of things.

I see, that's why Angel is so clean.

　Eliza turned to Angel standing next to her, dressed in a yukata.

"The effect seems to be working very well. You've become more beautiful in a little while, haven't you, Angel?
"Yes!　Thanks Alec!

　When someone compliments you on your beauty, Angel is usually humble or even afraid.
　It's my hot springs, so it's rather gratifying to hear that.

It really does seem to work very well. I'm going to take a bath in Alec's hot springs, too.

　For some reason, Eliza stuttered a little at the mention of my name.

There's a hot spring in your room. I'll wash your back, sister!
"Well, let's have a wash.

　Eliza and Angel, like two real sisters, went to the inner bath provided in the room.

　The inner bath in the room is also designed as an open-air bath.
　The roof hangs over the bath halfway up, as if it were a half veranda.
　Not to mention that the bath itself is spacious and comfortable, and the scenery is outstanding.
　Most of the view you can see is that mountain, which I blew up and remade once.

　Eliza was more interested in the view than the bath.

"It's quite nice.

　Eliza said with a satisfied look on her face.
　Emperor Elisabeth, the most discerning woman in the world, who could have all the luxuries of the world if she wanted them, said with a satisfied look on her face.

Speaking of which, sister, you can drink from this spa.
Can you drink?
"Yes!　A spa sommelier checked it out, and it seems to make your skin more skin speckled and your belly feel much less tender.
You mean it's a good way to lose weight.
Would you like to try it, sister?
Yeah, right.

　Eliza glanced at me outside the bath and said, "Normally, this would be dangerous and should be considered poisonous.

Normally, this would be dangerous and should be treated with poison, but it is clear that the ingredients are Alec's magic.
"Yes!　It's the safest in the world!
"I'll drink it. ......

　After the results showed that the spring was available, each hot spring was put on a ladle, and the hot water came out of the ladle and was received by the ladle and tried to drink it.

　When she was about to put her mouth on it.

　A view that would please the emperor.
　At the corner of the mountain there was an explosion.
　The smoke was rising into the sky at a great speed.

　A split-second decision.
　I passed them and stepped over the open-air bath frame.

Alec?
"You two wait here.

　Then kicked out of the frame and flew to the scene where there was an explosion with flying magic.
　I flew to the site where there was an explosion with flying magic.

　After closing the distance of five kilometers at a stretch, I saw the guards and the monster fighting in the mountains.

You okay?

　I landed.


　The city guard of Zerhorse, two dozen men with equipment that I had seen in the city, half of which were already downed and motionless on the ground.

　Half of them are already down, lying on the ground motionless.
　The other man was a ghoul.

　I saw some man-eating zombies in the cannibalistic cave.

You!　Watch out here!　Children should go home now--gg!

　One of the men tried to turn me away, but in a moment of averting his eyes, the ghoul lunges at him and bites him.
　My weapon's spear snaps off in the rush, and the man is bitten on the shoulder.

d*mn!

　Kick as hard as you can, kicking the ghoul away.
　The shoulder is instantly bloody when you forcefully peel it off.

You need to get out of here. Monk, take the boy and run.
But these ghouls aren't the same as before, they're getting stronger and stronger. It's not just the Loids--
"We can't let a tourist kid get hurt. Go.
"......!

　The two of them continue to argue.
　I didn't mind, but I stepped in front of them.

You--
It's okay.

　I said and drew the wise man's sword on my back.

"What are you doing!

　The man was surprised.

"Whatever you do is dangerous!　These guys are monsters, and they have unexplained enhancements.

　It was just as the man shouted.
　The ghoul's speed and power have risen far beyond what it was before.

　There's been a jump of about three times.

Could this be because of the new hot springs?
I'm sure there was one source over there.
"d*mn. ...... My God. ......

　The guard's survivors were all twisted up.

　I stared.
　Well, maybe.
　The ghouls feel my magic in their bodies.

　They carry my magic on their bodies, like an aura of strength.

　It's as if the ghouls that originally lived in this mountain were boosted by the magical source that contains the dissolved magic.

　That ghoul is rushing in--fast!
　Not three times faster, but about five times faster if we're talking about rushing.
　It's a different animal.

Careful--

　Crunch!

　A ghoul jumped into the air, and I sliced it in half with my wise man's sword.
　A ghoul was cut in half at the waist, the lower half of its body tumbling, and the upper half of its body spinning in a circle as its own thrust and the momentum of my slash crossed.

　Another ghoul jumps in, slicing down with his returning sword, and I still cut him in half.

""......"

　The men of the guard were all speechless.
　He created a magic ball of healing power and shot it into the fallen men.

Hmmm. ......

　The men lying in a pool of blood groan and get up.

　I dive toward the remaining ghouls.
　My speed has been increased up to five times, and the ghouls are a pain in the ass, so I jump in with even greater speed and slash them down.

I'm here!

　Being clothed in my magic, it is easier to sense than a normal monster.

Sword of the Wise!
(Pause)

　It creates a magic sphere for each monster it senses.
　The magic spheres began to spin at high speed, their spherical shape reversing to a distorted shape, and then flew out like arrows.

　Each pounced on a locked-on monster that it sensed.
　Nearly a hundred magic arrows rained down on the mountain like a hailstorm.
