Keep falling down the pit, and where you get to is .......

"It's hot!

　Lara was the first to shout.

"Looks like a lava field .......

　After a short walk, we came to a place where a sea of lava was spreading out.
　The whole area was so hot that I was starting to sweat.
　The heat seemed to distort the landscape.

The heat seemed to distort the landscape. "This is indeed ...... hot. I'm starting to feel sick.
"Cynthia ...... doesn't like the heat .......

　Marise and Cynthia were also feeling the heat, flapping their hands and wiping their sweat with their clothes.

I can't take it anymore!

　Lara put her hands on her clothes and tried to take them off.

"Hey, Lara!　What are you trying to do?

　Just as her underwear was almost visible, I reached out and stopped her.

It's hot!　It's too hot!　I'm going to die if I don't.

　Lara's clothes were covered in sweat, and the color of her skin was faintly showing.
　Her chest was covered with beads of sweat, which added to her glamour.

You don't have to take your clothes off just because you want to.
But ......

　I look into Lara's eyes.
　There are tears in her eyes. She looks like she's about to start crying.

　I was going to hold back because I was going to get out of here soon, but ...... this is not good.

Control.

　I used a temperature control spell on myself and Lara and the three of us.

I'm not sure what to say.　It's getting cooler.
That's true.
I think I can stand ...... this.

　Then the three of them started to sweat, and they didn't look as tired as before.

"If we apply this, we can transform our bodies so that they can withstand even lava. The three of you should try training yourselves when you get out of this dungeon.
"You can withstand being in lava? ......?

　Lara rolled her eyes.

"Yes.
"How could you possibly be in that situation, ......?
"What do you mean?

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to be doing.
　You'll be able to overcome this with the help of this spell, Control.
　It is also possible to use warding magic to prevent this.

I'll tell you about it when I get back. For now, let's get out of here.

　With that, we were about to start walking again.
　That's when...


"Hey, guys!　You guys!


　A man's voice came from outside of us.

"Who?

　Lara called out.
　I turn to look at the voice.

　There's ........

"No, take me with you!　I thought I'd drowned in the ...... river, but now I'm in this crazy ...... place and it's a disaster.

　There was one sweaty man who walked up to us.
　He is a man of luxury in terms of the equipment he wears.

　But most of it seems to be useless, doesn't it?
　It doesn't even have much magic in it. It would just make him a burden.

　Anyway, ...... this guy looks familiar. .......

I'm not sure what to say.

　This is the first time I've ever seen this in my life.
　The three pointed at each other and opened their mouths.

"Oh, that pickup guy!
"Why are you here?

　Lara and Maryse said in turn.

　"Well.
　If you think you've seen him before, he's the guy who was forcibly picking up girls when we went to ...... buy groceries for the school festival.
　I was too small to remember.
　This is a bad habit of mine. If the guy is too weak, I immediately erase him from my memory. I should go back.

That's my line!　Why are you all here?

　The man asked the same question as Marise.

"We've come to explore this underground labyrinth that has suddenly sprung up. We are still students at the Academy of Magic, but we often visit dungeons like this one. ......

　Marise stepped forward and explained to the man.



"A student at the Academy of Magic ......?　"A mere student did such a terrible thing to me that night?

　The man's mouth moved in a puzzled manner.

　And then, when he finally noticed me...

"Oh!　Look who it is, you're that guy!

　He shouted loudly.

"Well, what do you have to say for yourself?
If it weren't for you, I might have been able to take her home!　And yet, you ...... interrupted me at the right moment!

　A man with obvious hostility.

What's your name?
Me?　My name's Kurt. What's yours?
Mmm-hmm. I'm glad you asked!

　It's inconvenient not knowing your name.
　It's inconvenient that I don't know your name, so I just asked you lightly.

　The man bravely put his hands on his hips and said.

"I'm Ivan!

""............"

　Cynthia, Lara, and I didn't respond to his bravado.

　But only Marise seemed to get the point, clapping her hands and saying.

"Oh. You're the 'hero' they're talking about?

　She said.

　Hearing this, the man ......, or Ivan, looked pleased and said, "Hmmm.

I'm famous after all. You're pretty, aren't you?　Would you like to have tea with me when we get out of this dungeon?
"No, thank you.
"No thanks.

　Marise averted her gaze and Ivan's eyes widened.

Well, I don't care about you. Let's just get on with it.
What do you mean you don't care about me?　I'm a brave man. I'm a brave man, worship me!

　More to the point, I'm a little curious as to why someone so insignificant is called a hero ......, but only a little. Doesn't matter.

　I left Ivan to his own devices and looked at the sea of lava again.

Hmm ......, looks like the proper route is through that moving floor to get to the other side.

　There's a moving floor on the lava, and if you time it right and jump over it, you should be able to get there.
　And on the other side, I see a small door.
　I guess that door leads to the lower level.

If you fall, you'll die in an instant. ......
"You have to jump across the moving floor at the right moment.
That sounds difficult. ......

　Lara and the other three were a little put off by this.

　But.

It's not a problem. The point is, if the floor doesn't move, it's less difficult, right?
"?

　The three of them cocked their heads.

"Don't move.

　That's what I said.
　I put some magic into the words and released them on the moving floor.

　Then .......

"Whoa!　The moving floor has stopped.

　The floor, which had been moving so busily, stopped moving, probably because it was afraid of my magic power.

Now it's easier to get to.

　However, there is still a distance between the floor and the floor.
　However, the three of us can use body-enhancement magic if we make it this far.
　If we jump, it'll be easy to get to the other side.

"All right, guys. Don't forget the enhancement spell. You still have that much magic left, right?

　I posed the question.

"Uh-huh!
We've been relying on Kurt for most of this.
"Cynthia ...... will do her best.

　"I'll do my best," he replied cheerfully.

　It's not so much the moving floor that's a problem, but the levitation and transfer magic that will get you to the other side in an instant,........
　I dared to do this for the sake of training the three of us.

　We wanted to use body enhancement magic to get to the other side, but .......

What about me?　What about me?

　Ivan's impatient voice came from behind me.

"You can wait here. You can wait here. I'll dive down to the 300th level and then come back. You're a brave man, you should be able to do that easily, right?


What?　In such a hot place?　And what's three hundred layers of ......?
Follow me if you have a problem with that.

　I didn't wait for any reply from Ivan and jumped to the first floor.

Yo!
Ha!
"......!

　Lara, Marise and Cynthia soon followed.

Lara, Marise, and Cynthia soon followed. "Yup, there's a lot of distance between the floors, but it's so easy to ......!　And if you step out of line for even a moment, you're dead. ...... Who the hell are you?

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

　The majority of the students are able to use body-enhancing magic since I spread it around the school.
　But Ivan, a brave man from another part of the world, can't even do something as simple as that.
　I've done the math so far.
　Well, he's not going to die.

　After that, we succeeded in reaching the other side together safely.
