I landed on the ground and immediately looked out over the 30 layers.

　It was a fantastic space.
　Seven-colored flowers bloomed from the ground, and countless pillars of seven-colored crystal stood in a row - and a number of seven-colored stones hung from the ceiling like icicles.

　The thirty layers of construction reminded me of a limestone cave.
　However, the glittering seven-colored ores tell us that this is no ordinary cave.

　It resembles layers 28 and 29.
　Or maybe the 28-29 layer was influenced by this layer.
　The place was so complete (...) that it made me think so.

　Picking up the fallen 'Crescent Pectolazuli's Straight Sword', I walk through layer 30.
　I hear the sound of crunching and breaking flowers.
　I can feel from the soles of my feet that the flowers on the 30th layer are not plants, but minerals.

　Then I continue to step on the beautiful flowers and find a figure at the end of the walk.
　If I'm right, as I expected--.


The Thirty Guardian] The one who steals the laws of the earth.


"...... 30 layers of guardians?

　In response to the voice, the figure turned to me.

　It was a young man with dull chestnut-colored hair.
　He was wearing tattered clothes with an unraveled hem, and he had severely tired eyes. The dark circles under his eyes are distinctive. I guess he's a little older than me.

　The young man puts his hand on his forehead and gives me a curious look.
　And then he replies to my voice.

I'm not going to be the only one. I'm a guardian. I know that. I made a promise to that guy back then, and so... ......!

　He seemed confused.
　According to the story, the guardians (guardians) appear as soon as the explorer enters the layer.

　I don't know how it works, but if it's like a summons, it's no wonder the young man is confused when he's suddenly summoned.

　While I watch, the young man continues to monologue as if to explain to himself.
　His empty eyes wandered around, trying to grasp the situation.

'So ......?　And then what happened to me?　Yeah. As I recall, I ended up with that idiot at ......, --gasp!

　The young man suddenly opened his eyes and crouched down.

　At that moment, a huge black scythe passed over the youth's head - a huge black scythe.

''It's a shame!''

　Out of the middle of nowhere (・・・・・・・・・) the thing appeared suddenly and let out a joyful voice.

　That guy was also not a monster, but took the form of a person.
　The one who wielded the scythe was a girl not much older than her age.
　A girl as tall as an elementary school student was floating in the air with a large scythe that was about two meters tall. She had a stark brown skin, black hair that grew to her height, and red eyes full of murderous intent.
　Everything was abnormal.

　The most unusual thing was that even if I 'gazed' at it, I couldn't get any information about the girl at all.

　The girl clicked her tongue and yet happily swung her next blow at the young man.
　In contrast, the young man roars while showing a clear face of doubt.

''Ah, I see!　d*mn, that's what it means!

　He braced himself with his empty handed fist, dodging the girl's attacks while keeping an eye on his surroundings.
　In the middle of it all, she meets my eyes again.

　The young man shouts at me, "This place is dangerous!

'This place is dangerous!　Run away now!

　The young man feared for my safety and urged me to move out.

'Yeah, yeah?'

　I didn't understand, and I voiced my doubts.

　I didn't expect to reach the 30th layer and be told to run away from its guardians (guardians). I also didn't expect them to leave the explorers behind and start fighting.

''The 'Reapers' (Reapers) are dangerous!　This me - 'the one who steals the reason of the earth' - get out of here while Rowen is in control!

　The young man admitted that he is a guardian (Guardian) 'the one who steals the reason of the earth' and called himself Rowen.
　At the same time, Rowen calls the girl a 'Reaper' (Reaper) and gives her a look of concern for me from the bottom of her heart.

　But I can't move.
　If he's a guardian (guardian), he's the enemy.

　It's an enemy to be defeated, but it's ...... too human.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of your time in the event that you're in a position to do so.

''Oh, that!　Something is wrong!　Rowen, there's something wrong with you!

　But in the meantime, the attack on Mr. Rowen has not slackened.
　Even now, the words are said while trying to cut its head off.

　Ms. Rowen says back while dodging the girl's scythe that is attacking her at high speed.　

''Of course!　It's all over!　It's over!　Your sorcerer is dead!　There's no more reason for you to attack me!
No, no, no, no!　Don't be horrible to me!
If you move one more time, you won't be able to keep up!

　With those last words, Rowen-san dodged the scythe with a paperweight, grabbed the girl's arm and threw her away.

　Watching the two fight from a distance, the difference in ability was clear.
　Although the girl's movements were fast, she just repeated her assault without any kind of effort. In contrast, Rowen's movements are refined. There's too much difference in skill. With that, the blade of the scythe would never reach Rowen-san for any length of time.

　The girl who was thrown away grunts as she holds her throat in pain.
　She appears to be suffering from lack of air.

'Ugh, ugh. ......'
"Look!　That's what happens when you're constantly losing magic and not replenishing it!

　The girl responds to Ms. Rowen's words by glaring back at her.
　Then she smiles thinly and mutters.

'Yes, no, I can still do it ....... I'm still alive ....... I'm still ......!
Oh, come on. You're not--?

　Sensing the girl's unusual condition, Rowen-san reached out her hand to stop the girl. Immediately after that, the girl's body was distorted and melted into a black mist that dissolved into the air.

　I was aware of this because I had deployed the Dimension.
　The girl turned all of her body into magical power and dissolved into the magical power in the air.
　Then, she moved as magic power and moved behind me--

What--?
Look at me, brother. ......

　It was no longer close to instantaneous movement (warp).
　Surprised at being moved to the back (warp), I turned around as I drew my sword.

　There was a girl with a big smile on her face.
　It's the smile of an innocent child, as if the prank was a success.
　The girl had placed her hand on my shoulder. And then she poked me on the cheek with her fingertips.

"Hee-hee, you turned around (・・・・・・), didn't you?

　I jump and distance myself from the girl - I feel pain and heat in my neck.

'Ow!'

　He puts his hand on his neck and points his sword at the girl.
　I don't feel any hostility from the girl.
　However, there is a strong possibility that she was attacked in some way.

　After I get some distance away, Rowen-san attacks the girl who is laughing happily.　

'Reaper!　Don't bring others into this!
You're late, Rowen!　This big brother was given to me!

　The girl distanced herself from Mr. Rowen as if she were running away from him and expressed that she got me.
　It didn't take long for her to realize the meaning of that expression.

　She focused the 《Dimension》 on the neck where the heat was lit.
　There was a black pattern floating there before I knew it. It resembles a magician's circle (...) as it emits heat, it also squeezes out my magic power.

　The 《Dimension》 makes me understand the movement of the magic power.
　The magic power squeezed out is flowing to the girl named Reaper.

''The Devil of Emptiness, my dear, is behind you. ''That's my only place.''--'

　The girl takes my magic and lets it fill her with power.
　Then she chants the chant and shouts her name.

"It is I, the Grim Reaper, the Grim Reaper who longs for the shadows.

　He then declared himself to be a 'Reaper' (Reaper).

''Hee hee, what a coincidence!　This brother is just like that one!　You're a wizard with the same dimensional attributes!　Come on, come on!　The vacant surgeon was filled by my brother here!　Now what about Rowen!

　Every time the Reaper screams with all his strength, the magic is released from me.

　There's no doubt about it now.
　The Reaper is robbing me of my magic through the pattern on my neck. And that magic power is what's making him move.

　Seeing this figure, Rowen-san moans in abhorrence and comes closer to me.

''Kudos, it can't be helped ......!　Boy, what's your name?!
'Uzumi. Aikawa Uzumi Wave. ......

　I keep my hand on my neck and answer the name.
　Although I sense evil from the Reaper, I don't sense any harm from my guardian (Guardian), Rowen-san. For now, I decide that it's worthy of giving my name.

　When Rowen-san hears my name, she is surprised out loud.

'Ah, Aikawa Kanami!

　Apparently, he had some idea of what my name was.
　However, Rowen-san's expression of surprise was short-lived, and she quickly tied her mouth back together and returned to a serious expression.

''And anyway, Kanami-kun!　I'm sorry, but we're gonna need your help!　If you want to break that 'curse', you'll have to destroy that guy!

　Mr. Rowen described the pattern on my neck as a 'curse' and told me to fight to break it.

'I don't know what it is, ......, but I do know that she's something bad. And that it won't be good if it continues like this.

　I find that no matter how much I put my hand on my neck, I can't suppress the magic that is escaping, and I agree with Rowen-san's suggestion.

''Hee-hee, fuh-hee, hahaha!

　And then, with the girl who just continues to laugh merrily, I stand shoulder to shoulder with my guardian (Guardian) and hold my sword.

　It's completely different from my original plan, but it's unavoidable.
　First of all, I have to do something about the girl in front of me. I start guiding the best plan for attacking the girl in my head.

　And in the next moment, the Reaper's scythe is slicing through the surrounding crystal to the roots.
　While dodging it with a paperweight, I ask Rowen-san. I need information to do whatever it is I need to do.

''Rowen-san, is that a monster?!
'No, not a monster!　Of course, they're not guardians (guardians) and they're not human!　That's just 'magic'!　It's 'magic' that works with intelligence!
Magic?

　I return my questioning voice to the identity I hadn't expected.

It's a cursed spell that was created just to kill me. It is based on the motif of a fairy tale, and the magic name is just that: the Grim Reaper, the Grim Reaper. Remember that fairy tale while you fight!
What, a fairy tale?　Sorry, I don't know that fairy tale!

　I don't want to be called a fairy tale all of a sudden.
　I've never heard of Grim Lim Lim Leaper.

'Isn't that a world-famous fairytale!
'No, I really don't know!

　Perhaps it is famous in this world.
　But as a gentile, I have no way of knowing this story.

　I continue to dodge the scythe from the girl's blind spot with a serious expression on my face.
　Sensing from her appearance that she is not lying, Rowen-san continues to talk.

'Okay!　Just get to the point!　That guy said, 'When you are looking at it, it cannot exist. And it only materializes when you don't see it. He's a fairy tale antagonist who lives within those rules. He's going to slash at you from out of sight, so you'll have to counter attack him!'
It only materializes when you're not looking at it: ......!

　That's already tricky on its own.
　That means that even if you attack with your eyes, you won't be able to do any damage.

　Even though it's a non-living magic, it's a foul characteristic.

　It dodges the girl's scythe, which attacks from all directions while repeatedly moving at a moment's notice. Honestly, it's difficult to counter against this.

　However, it feels unnatural.
　The girl gives off a hair-raising killing intent only against Rowen-san, but not at all against me. I feel like the attack also misses the vital point.

'Already!　Just give your brother a break!　Because all I want to do is kill Rowen!

　As I stand around to protect Ms. Rowen's back, the irritated girl pouts at a distance.

''Uh, yeah ....... You mean you're not going to kill me ......?

　I step away and check the girl's intentions.

'I'm not going to kill you. I'm not going to kill you, because your brother is my most important food. You'll only be incapacitated.
'Yeah, bait is ....... In the meantime, can you please stop pulling the magic out of me ......
'I won't stop doing that!　If you stop, you won't be able to fight Rowen and I'll squeeze you to death!
Until you die: ....... So why don't we just fight it out?

　I glare at the girl as I regrip my sword.
　However, I can't get the urge to kill either. It's hard to do just because it's in the form of a human being, but being reacted to like this like this, like a child, is enough to dampen my spirits.

'Kanami-kun, it's useless!　If you get possessed, the last thing you want to do is get your magic sucked out of you until you die!

　But Mr. Loewen threatens me with death if I don't do something about my hesitation.

　I didn't want to believe him foolishly.
　It's not only because you shouldn't believe what someone you've never met before says, but most of all because he doesn't feel as threatened as he says he does.

　Sure, the magic continues to be sucked out of me.
　But I don't think it's going to kill me.

　The magic power is only being sucked out thinly and gradually. Even if it interferes with combat, it shouldn't be a matter of life and death.

　The girl chews on the magic power she took from me with a delicious bite and tries to build magic.

''Hee hee, what a fresh magic power!　Maybe I'm better than before!　That makes it easy to break their gaze!

　It seems that even the girl who is magic itself can use magic.

"--Dimension Black Bubble (Nightmare) magic!

　The girl cast a dimensional magic.
　It was very similar to my magic. As long as the word 'dimension' is attached to it, it must be the same kind of magic. But that's not all. The additional idea of "Black Bubbles (Nightmare)" also felt similar to mine.

　The magical power of the dimensional attribute fills the 30 layers and black bubbles begin to spring up within the area.

　I figure out the full extent of that magic with Dimension.

　It doesn't seem to be much different from my 《Dimension》 in principle. Probably, the accuracy is much lower than mine.
　And you can sense that the black bubble is filled with magic for instantaneous movement with my "Dimension". Its usage was similar to my "Dimensional Snow".

　The black color of the bubbles is probably to dominate space and at the same time block the enemy's vision.

　If Rowen-san was right, then if I could free the enemy's vision, I would be free to materialize. That's most likely the main aim.

　The girl scratches off her body and moves instantly to our blind spot.
　I quickly responded by expanding the Dimension wide open. However, the girl grasps the expansion of the Dimension by using Dimension Black Bubble (Nightmare), and she senses the area where the expansion is thin and moves.

　My Dimension is a magic that gathers information in space, but it doesn't always gather information in space automatically. Basically, I'm aware of the information I want, and I only keep track of the ones in the places I want.

　In other words, unless you're paying very close attention, there will always be a slight gap.
　The girl seemed to be moving through those gaps.

　The girl moves near the rear of Rowen-san and swings her scythe to the side. Ms. Rowen turns her body around and avoids it. It looked like the scythe had been snatched by the hem of her clothes. However, just before the scythe was snatched, the scythe had already lost its substance because I recognized it with the 《Dimension》.

　The girl puffed out her cheeks when she saw that the attack didn't even reach the hem.
　After that, she slashed at Rowen-san several times, but all of them were interrupted by my 《Dimension》 and couldn't reach her.

''----!　Ugh, my brother's unfolding magic!　You're in my way!

　The girl, who was disgusted by the situation, changes her target to this one.

　It seems that the girl has no way to counter my Dimension. This one is confident that if it comes down to it, she can use Dimensional Winter (Di Winter) to nullify Dimension Black Foam (Nightmare). However, the girl does not have the equivalent of that.

　The girl focuses her attention on me and tries to strengthen her connection to the pattern on my neck.

''Then I'll squeeze more magic into it and make it impossible to use magic!

　Seeing this, Ms. Rowen panicked and tried to get our attention.

''Kanami-kun!　I'm going to step away and--
No, Mr. Rowen. I'm fine.

　But that's not necessary.
　Enough information had been gathered.

　Although I was surprised at the girl's special abilities at first, I've already gotten used to it.

''--I already have a pretty good idea.

　I quietly declare the end of the battle.

　Leaving the girl who is trying to interfere with us, I build another magic. Honestly, this 'curse''s thin connection is not going to be enough to deplete my MP. It's just a needle hole in a huge storage room. It doesn't affect the big picture.

Switching the operation of all magic power to 《Dimension Multiple Deployment (Multiple)》 and prioritizing visibility in space: ......

　I turn spatial awareness into something more powerful.

　I'm going to fill all of space with dimensional magic, leaving no room for the girl to materialize.
　I won't create any thin spots in the dimension. I'll never let her scratch the back of her consciousness either.
　Just by doing so, we should be able to neutralize the girl.

''Eh, that!　What the hell!　

　The girl senses that my magic power has penetrated thickly throughout the space with Dimension Black Bubble (Nightmare), and immediately melts her body and moves instantly.

　Using the black bubble, I leap within the space many times - and realize that I haven't been able to materialize even once.

''Eh, eh?　Wherever you are, they're watching you!

　The girl's forehead sweats and her face contorts as sweat runs down her forehead.

'Give it up. As long as I'm near you, you'll never materialize again, not a single 0.1 millimeter of space, not a single 0.1 second in between, and I won't miss you.

　Even the momentary, momentary time of instantaneous movement didn't cut off 《Dimension》's line of sight.

　If it was the extent of the girl's dimensional magic, it wasn't that difficult to analyze.
　By sensing the flow of magic power, it is possible to predict the destination of the instantaneous movement. And the prediction of over a hundred black bubbles is already done.

　With this, the girl can't harm us.
　As long as the girl hasn't attacked us with anything other than a sickle, this should be a dead end.

'Well, that's not fair!　This is horrible!　Enough!

　The girl repeatedly moves for a moment, then angrily tries to hit my body with both hands. However, I can't even touch her because she can't materialize.

''Feng ....... For now, I can take a breath.

　I exhale loudly and am relieved that the rush that has been going on since I ran into them has stopped.

　From the way the girl looks, it seems that Ms. Rowen understands that as well. She releases the tension and comes over to us.

''That's great, Kanami-kun ....... Is your magic power okay?
'It's not that hard, is it?　Honestly, it's not worth dying for and ......

　Hearing this, Mr. Rowen begins to ponder seriously.

'Isn't it hard?　What does that mean? Is it because of the location: ......?　No, is Kanami-kun's magic simply extraordinary: ......?

　Seeing Rowen, who is not convinced, the girl approaches her, floating fluffily.
　She seems to realize that it's pointless to be out of control, and she seems to have turned off her scythe as well.

　I prepared myself, but the girl calls out to me in a casual manner.

'Hmm, I think it's simply the difference in the amount of magic power. Unlike Rowen, this brother over here has a tremendous amount of magic power. Even if I smoke it, he still seems to have some extra power. Most importantly, they're a great match!
Is it really that different: ......?

　In response, Rowen replied casually.

'Yeah, if your brother is a mellow apple, then Rowen is a dry, dried up apple.
''I'm sorry I didn't have as much magic power. Rather, I'm about as normal as I can be!
'Don't, don't yell at me. Anyway, it's not going to be what Rowen thinks it is. Maybe this big brother can keep me around.
'You think you can keep the Reaper: ......?　That's ridiculous. ......

　Miss Rowen couldn't seem to believe the answer the girl gave her.
　And for some reason, she seemed somewhat relieved.

　--I was the one who couldn't believe it.

　Even though they were killing each other just a few minutes ago, Mr. Rowen and the girl have started a conversation as if nothing had happened.

　They are too close to each other. They even look like friends from the past.
　I decide that I should know more about the situation and interrupt their conversation.

'Um, do you mind?'
Yeah, yeah. Hey, Kanami.

　Ms. Rowen broke off her contemplation and turned to me with a calm expression.

''I came all the way up here to defeat the guardians (guardians) of the 30th layer: ......
"...... That's right, I was. Now I'm a guardian in the maze. For a lot of reasons I forgot.

　Then, with a harmless look on his face, he admitted that he was a guardian (Guardian).

　It was much different from what I had heard.
　Wasn't the Guardian a ruthless monster, an insane monster that attacked the humans it encountered and created countless deaths ......?

'What?　Hey, big brother, are you here to kill Rowen?　Then let's kill them together!　I really want to kill Attah alone, but I'll let my brother join you!

　Instead of Rowen, the girl reacts mercilessly and insanely.
　I would like to talk to the girl as well, but right now, Rowen-san is first.

'Wait a minute. Let's see. ...... Reaper. Let me talk to Ms. Rowen first.

　I wasn't sure what to call him, but I'll call him 'Reaper' for now.

'Mmmm, don't leave me out!　Mix and match attaches!
I'll ask you about it later.
'No, no, no!　I know that. That's how he's going to ignore me to the end!
No, I don't think so--
Hey, hey, hey. That's not important. Solve the spell!　If you have this, don't touch anything--
It's called Di Winter.
'Yes, yes!　It's so painful!

　A limited deployment of "Dimensional Winter (Di Winter)".
　The target is the connection to the reaper extending from the pattern around his neck. What we do is no different from interfering with magic. It's just an application of the vibration stop, suppressing the flow.

　That's all it takes to stop the magic supply to the girl. Rather, if you want to do it, you could even suck it out in reverse.
　The girl whose magical power supply is stopped begins to suffer as if she has lost air.
　The reason I left her alone even though her magic power had been taken away was because I was confident that I could do this.

　Immediately I turn my magic supply back on and chide the Reaper.

''Yes, be quiet.''
...... Yes.

　The Reaper looked severely frightened and scoffed back. On the way, he muttered, "I'm the same as that guy, even the method of chastisement (this): ......". Apparently, he's traumatized by the way he's doing things now.

　The magic I can use and the compatibility of the Reaper helped. Now the Reaper is complete.
　But it's a bit tricky.

　I'm not going to be able to get my hands on any of them. It's as if the magic was prepared for me to use: ......

　No, we'll figure that out later.
　First we need to talk to Mr. Rowen.

''Um, are you sure Mr. Rowen is the Guardian of the 30th layer?
'...... Sorry, Kanami. First of all, could you please stop using the honorific language?　I just can't seem to get comfortable.
Oh, you're a polite term?
'My physical age isn't much different, you know. Please.

　Indeed, from the looks of it, it doesn't look like we're all that different in age. Rowen is probably a little older than me.

"...... Okay, Rowen. You can call me Kanami, too.
Of course, Kanami. So, what was it? Was it whether I was a guardian or not: ......
'I don't think Rowen is that guardian (Guardian). The Reaper would make sense to me. ......
'No, that idiot was just a bonus. He was probably just caught up with me at the end of the ritual because he was so close to me. I'm the right guardian (guardian).
Does that mean that Rowen is a monster?
Yeah, they're monsters. Only, unlike the rest of them, they're not yet corrupted, so they're mostly human.

　With that, Rowen turns her attention to her body.
　For all intents and purposes, she's a normal human being.

''Yeah, yeah, that's a problem. I heard there was a boss monster, so I came to defeat it. ......''
No, don't worry about it. I'm not gonna die a human being anyway. Just think of it as a monster to be dealt with.
Can't you die as a human being?
''Oh, once the heart stops, it will completely turn into a monster. Once you defeat it, you'll be cleared for the 30th test. Do you want to do it?
...... hmmm, still hard to do.
'Well, it's hard to do: ....... I wouldn't be able to pull my sword out if I were in the same situation.

　Ms. Rowen shrugged with a wry smile.

　But I'm in trouble.
　If this is the case, I can't accomplish the deal with Palinkron.
　He didn't think that the Guardian (Guardian) was someone he could talk to like this. I heard that many deaths had occurred in the past when the guardian (guardian) appeared, but Rowen-san seemed to be different.

　For now, let's force him to stop his heart and turn into a monster, even if he's forced to do so.
　If he wasn't in human form, I think the sword would be pointed at him. Probably, but .......

''--Hmmm. Well then, let's make a deal.

　As I'm struggling to come up with a solution, Mr. Loewen makes a suggestion.

'Deal?'

　Another deal.
　Deal with Rowen to accomplish the deal with Palinkron.
　It reminded me of a chain of errand events in an RPG. The "do this" and "do that" basin spinning that doesn't advance the main plot is common in games.

　As of now, all you have to do is deal with those two girls, so I'm even starting to feel like it's better to ignore everything and level up.

''Oh, it's a simple deal.'' --do what I want. And then I'll die.
If you get what you want, you'll die: ......?
The Guardian is dead in the first place. The remaining unfinished business is all that remains of the body, but it is not alive. Hence, if you lose your 'unfinished business', you lose your power, and if you fulfill your ambition, you disappear.

　Rowen told him that he was a dead man.
　It seemed that the reason he had said earlier that he was willing to treat her as a monster was because he was already prepared to die.

''Rather, it is my desire to die. So you can come and kill me without worrying about it.

　And Rowen lets out a faint laugh.
　I can see that she's trying to make my heartache a little less stressful.

　I decided to respond to the kind-hearted guardian.

...... Okay, I get it. ...... If Rowen says so much, that's how I'll kill the Guardian.
Thank you, Kanami.

　Me and Rowen shake each other's hands.

　It was a brief exchange, but I could tell that Rowen wasn't a bad person. Then I'm willing to help with that.

　Of course, there is a calculus.
　Rowen is strong. As far as the fight just now is concerned, he's strong enough to handle a high-speed scythe attacking from out of sight with his empty handed fists with ease.
　Even against that pair of girls, she would definitely be a dependable force to be reckoned with.
　Depending on the details of the deal, they might be on my side until Rowen fulfills her unfulfilled obligations.

　And just as we were about to talk about the future, the Reaper, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't resist shouting.

'Nope, no, Rowen!　I'm the one who killed Rowen!　That's not the way to die, ever!

　Apparently, the Reaper was obsessed with killing Rowen with his own hands.
　If the Reaper was a magic created only to kill Rowen, it might not be surprising that he would come to such an answer.

'So!　The guy who ordered it is dead. You don't get it, do you? You don't have to kill me anymore.
That much is clear to me ....... But what should I do then ......?　What am I supposed to live for ......?
It's your choice. That's what living is all about. It wouldn't be right if it was decided before you were born. What you have to do, you have to live and find out for yourself.

　In a powerful and sure tone, Rowen told the Reapers to live.
　I agree with him.
　At the very least, I think it's wrong to live to kill someone.

That's hard to do: ......

　The Reaper looks like he's about to cry when he hears this and turns into a black mist.

'Oh, wait!　Where are you going!

　Rowen looked flustered and tried to call off the Reaper.
　But I knew where the Reaper was running to. Or rather, I was rattled.

　The Reaper had turned into a black mist and was entering me.
　I thought about rejecting him with the Dimensional Winter (Di Winter), but the sad expression on his face before that made me feel sorry for him, so I accepted it.

'Rowen, the Reaper is in me ....... He's kind of fiddling around inside.
'In Kanami, ......?　Yeah, right. That's good then.

　Rowen was relieved to know that the Reaper was safe.

　Apparently, Rowen had a section of concern for the Reaper who was trying to kill her. It seemed as if she was worried about the future of her poorly made sister.

'But I feel like my body is getting heavier. ......
'The Reaper is a 'curse' magic. It's a 'curse' of the highest order.
I don't know what to do about it. ......
...... Well, the Reaper is an idiot, but he's not a bad kid. If you can talk them into it, it's magic that can be used properly. Good job, Kanami. From now on, you're a legendary Reaper user.

　Then Rowen gives her a look as if she's found someone to take care of her poorly made sister.

'I'd rather not, if possible: ......

　Rowen may be fine with that, but I'm not going to be convinced.
　I'm not going to die, but I'm sure I'm losing my precious MP.　

I'm sorry. That was a joke. I'll help you get rid of the ...... reapers. I wish I could find a replacement sorcerer or even seal him up ....... But magic is not my specialty, so I can't do anything about it. Hey, are the other guardians (guardians) still alive?
'No, I've heard that both the guardians of the 10th layer and the guardians of the 20th layer are dead.
''d*mn. If we had a guardian (Guardian) who was good at magic, he might be able to help the Reapers: ....... I see. So they're all gone: ......

　Rowen naturally said that he would "help" the Reaper.
　After all, the two of them are killing each other, but that doesn't seem to be the only thing they do.

　We'll find out more about that later.
　I'm going to go over the most important things now that we're done talking.

　I'll make sure it's the most important thing.
　That's the most important thing.

"So, what does Rowen want: ......?

　"The thief of earthly logic." How to kill Rowen.

'...... hope, huh? Yeah, it seems like a lot of things have happened.

　The crispness of Rowen's answer is poor.
　Slowly, however, he spins the words out, changing his expression several times as if he were remembering something.

'As I recall, your best hope was to become famous as a knight ......

　I continue to confess to myself as I open and close my right hand, which isn't holding anything, as I tell myself.

'Oh, yes. I've always wanted to show the world my sword. That's been my dream since I was a kid. There is no doubt about that ....... That wish is the only thing I'm sure of: .......

　Loewen shyly put into words the kind of poor dream that a young child would yearn for.
　Then, with a look of conviction on her face, she continued.

'I want honour and glory. I want so many people to honor me.

　He smiled like a child and wanted a very simple desire.
　It was so innocent and beautiful - and somewhat fragile.

Otherwise, it wouldn't pay off (・・・・・・・・・).

　With that last murmur, Rowen finished his confession.

　After all, the figure looked somewhat fragile.
