"The bats that went into the cave were wiped out. ......

　This fact made Aria's face twitch.
　What this reaction meant, only she could tell.

　But she didn't seem to be disappointed.
　She seems to be interested in the being that wiped out the bats.
　It's an ideal opponent to train with.

"Roze, did you say that the bats were wiped out at the same time?

"Yes, yes. It happened almost simultaneously.

Good!　Rejoice, Lose. It looks like you caught a pretty big one.

　Aria clenched her fists tightly.
　The bats, which used parts of Rose's body, were as powerful as any demon.

　In the event that the bats were killed at the same time, the strength of the hexenbiest can be seen little by little.

"It's decided.

　I'm not sure what to do.
　When they are scattered in the sky, each one makes a sound and transforms into a bat.

　He then flew off to tell them the exact size of the cave.

　The bat's ability changes in proportion to the number of bats it uses, and in the case of a few bats, its ability is almost the same as before.
　On the other hand, if you use hundreds of bats, they will drop to the level of wild bats.

But you're pretty solid, aren't you?

"No, no, this is all I can do. Besides, thanks to the bats, I know the way to the cave. I'm sure I won't get lost now.

"Oh, I'm counting on you.

　While Aria was taking her time, Roze was finishing all the preparations.
　If Aria had been the only one here, she would have gotten in too easily and gotten lost.

　It's the best I can do as a support person.
　She is far more considerate than Iris or Tise.

It's just a matter of how long I can use this weapon. It may become one of the top weapons in my collection.

"Oh, really? ......

Hmm. You get a feel for it the first time you pick it up. If you make it to the top, I'll give you one from my collection.

Oh, really?

　Aria's whim.
　Aria's caprice. This fatuous nature has caused trouble many times before.
　In some cases, she has even been warned by Faith.

　He rarely feels remorse, except when it comes to fighting, and will continue to make the same mistakes in the future.

"Thank you!　Demon Lord!

"Good, good. Well, when you get to the top, that is!

　Aria accepted Roze's words of gratitude and waved her weapon in satisfaction.
　The target was a tree that was standing nearby.

　It didn't seem to catch on at all, and Aria's hand didn't even feel the response in the first place.

"......?　It's not sharp?

"No, it's too sharp.

　She kicked the wood as if to push it, and it slowly fell according to gravity.
　When I looked at the cut surface, it was so flat that it made me sigh.
　If this tree were a demon, it would have the same sharpness.

It's not bad, but there's still something hidden.

Oh, my God!

It's going to be a long one, Rose.

Yes, yes!

　With high hopes for the weapon, the two headed for the cave.
