"Marina, I want you to try to put the ring in this hollow.

　I urged Marina, who was holding one half of the ring.

　The pirate girl looks puzzled.

The ring, you mean my ring?　But I got it from my father. Are you saying that my father had this 'qualification' or something?

"I can't say for sure yet, but if you try, you might find something. Please.

...... Hmm. I don't know, but I'll give it a try, Brett said.

　Marina said, and walked to the door.

　She removed the ring from her hand and slipped it into the hollow in the center of the great stone door.

　And then...

　Whoosh.
　The Great Stone Door itself shone with a faint light.

"......?　It's glowing. Does that mean I'm right?

I think so. But ......".

　Apparently, there's no further change.
　Does that mean if I push and pull the door, it will open ......?

Brother, this plate is glowing too.

　Rio tells me.
　The eldest of the three sisters is looking at a stone plate next to the door with a warning message on it.

　I approach and look at the plate.

The text is different. What is it? ...... "You have shown one half of your qualifications. Show me the other one. Then the door will be opened. Anya.

"Yes.

　Anya steps forward.

　She's already taken the ring off her hand.
　I think she knows what she's doing.

Marina, I need you to take your ring out of the hollow.

"Yes.

　Marina removes the ring from the recess.

　Marina removes the ring from the hollow, the light goes out of the door and the writing on the plate returns to normal.

　Hmmm ......?
　Does this reaction mean it's different?

　But I have to try.

Anya, please.

"Yes. I'll try.

　Marina steps back from the door and Anya steps forward.

　The village apprentice slipped a piece of the ring that had been handed down from generation to generation in her village into the hollow of the door.

　Once again, the door shines brightly.
　The words on the plate read...

Thou hast shown me one of thy qualifications. Now show me the other. Show me one more, and the door will open." ...... hasn't changed.

"......?　...... off after all this time?　...... How is that possible?

　Maifa tilted her head.

　In the meantime, Iris puts her hand over her mouth, makes a thinking gesture, and says: "Maybe.

It's also possible that the other side of the ...... branch has a similar mechanism as this one. ......

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

　I'm not sure what to make of this.

　I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not. When they all confronted her, Iris made a strange noise and became frightened.

That's it!　That's it! That's Iris, good girl, good girl.

That's it, Iris, you're a good girl." "Wow, wow, wow, ......?

　I hugged Iris with one arm and patted her head with the other hand.

　Iris was red up to her ears, steam pouring out of her face as I patted her.

　In the meantime, two people, Anya and Marina, are watching me and Iris closely.

I'm not sure what to make of this, but I think it's a good idea. ......

I'm sure you'll agree. I'm not sure I understand Brett's part in it either.

　It's like looking at an abnormal person.
　Isn't this just a normal skinship between a teacher and a student?

　No, it's not?
　Well, in any case, the relationship between me and my students has nothing to do with the common sense of the world, hmm.

　I have a feeling that my way of thinking is steadily going down the wrong path, but I don't care.

　I let go of Iris and look around at everyone in the room and say.

"Okay. Let's go back to the junction.

"Okay, Mr. Brett. But that way...

　Marina's eyes narrowed.


　The pirate girl put her hand on the battle axe attached to her body and confirmed its existence.

　I smiled at Marina.

Oh. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.


　But that's like killing two birds with one stone.


　When I returned to the fork in the road at the bottom of the valley, I finally met them near the point of the fork.

Oh, there they are. There's quite a lot of them.

　I muttered lazily at the sight of this huge army.

　They were a school of greenish-blue scaled half-fish, the Sahagin.

　They number a little more than fifty, and all of them have spears in their hands.
　They seem to be led by a four-armed commander named Sahagin Barron.

　For us, this is the first time we've seen them in a hundred years.
　We've traveled this far across the sea in search of them.

"Geez!　How did you guys get here ......?

　I'm not sure what to make of this.

　I stood at the head of the six brave men and drew my sword from its sheath at my waist, smiling and shouting.

I'm not sure why. But one thing is clear. But one thing is clear. You and I are enemies, and when we collide, we have no choice but to fight. "Prepare for battle, Rio, Iris, Maifa.

"Yes!　Guard Cloak Dress Up!

　The three pupils put on protective gear, and each of them put up a weapon.

　At the same time, Marina and Anya also took up a battle axe and a spear respectively.

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

I'm not sure if you're a brave man or not, but you're a brave man.　I'm not sure if you're a brave man or not, but you've got only six women and children with you and you're brave!　It looks like you can't count!　You guys, go ahead, do it!　Don't let a single one of them leave alive!　Don't leave any of them alive! You can eat up all the women and children you want!

You can eat up all the women and children you want!

　In response to the Sahagin Baron's order, a flock of Sahagin rushed towards us, raising their spears in unison.

　The number of them was about ten times that of us.
　The distance between us was probably about a hundred meters.

　The road at the bottom of this valley is not narrow.
　More than ten Sahagin attacked us side by side.

　All the brave men here are concentrating in preparation for this.

I'm not sure what to do. We only need to kill 10 of them each. Anya, can you do it?

"Ten?　I'll do my best. ......

"Hahaha. I'll cover the shortage for you. And besides... there are four of them over here. Don't worry.

　I'm not sure if you'll be able to find the right one for you.

　The first to move here is Iris, who specializes in long-range archery weapons.

"Here we go... [Arrow Rain]!

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.

　The arrows that spread out like a parabola landed on the group of Sahagin.

"Gwah!
"Gaaaah!

　Some of the Sahagin were hit by the arrows that fell on their bodies, and they fell in a heap.
　Some of the Sahagin were struck by the arrows that fell on their bodies and fell down.

"Gahhhh... ......!　What the heck are you doing?　Go on!　If we stop here, we'll only fall prey to their arrows!　Keep moving!　We must crush them with our numbers!

　The commander, Sahagin Baron, issued a message to his subordinates, the Sahagins.

　The Sahagin Baron, the commander, sent out a message to his men.

"Well, I guess they're not that naive. Let's go, Rio, Meifa.

"Yes, brother!

"...... Okay. ...... I have no choice but to work too.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
