Aria and Rose are making their way through the pitch-black cave without getting lost.
　Their speed is dozens of times faster than normal adventurers, as they already know the way.

　In addition, both of them can see the darkness as if it were daytime.
　Even if they were to fight, they would not be at a disadvantage.

It's a pretty big cave ...... and with a size like this, you never know what's in the back.

I'm sorry, Demon Lord. ...... I didn't know what the beast was. The bats were killed on the way.

"Tsk tsk, it's nothing for you to apologize for.

　Rosé looked apologetic.
　Aria, however, waved her index finger lightly to convey the message that she did not care.

　She is not the kind of person who blames her subordinates for their minor mistakes.

"Ah, Demon Lord. It might be dangerous from here. It's where the bats were killed.

"Oh. So it's just around the corner.

　Aria closed her mouth tightly and put a finger on Rose's mouth as well.
　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.

"......?　You're looking a little strange. It's so big. Take a look, Rose.

"Yes, yes.

　Do as Aria says.
　From the shadow of the rock, Rose peeked out.

　What he saw was a tail so huge that it could have been mistaken for a wall.

"Well, Demon Lord, ......!　It's pretty big. ......!

That's quite unexpected. It looks like he's not living here, but just resting. It's too big to live here.

What do you want me to do, ......?

Don't bother. We go in head-on!

　Aria slipped past Roze, who was wondering whether to stop her, and kicked its huge tail with a shove.

　It was not an attack aimed at inflicting damage.
　It was intended to make the opponent aware of his presence.

　Then, just as he had intended, he turned around to stare at Aria and Rose.

"-Rose!　It's not a hexenbiest!

"What?

　When Aria realized this fact, the large wings that she had been hiding spread out without regard to the rocks.

　The giant creature was heading in the opposite direction of the entrance.
　The cave was a dead end, but it was forcing its way through by rushing forward.

　The two of them could only stare at its unorthodox behavior.

"Demon Lord!　I'm going to be buried alive if this continues!

"...... No, it's too late.

　One by one, large chunks of rock crashed down on top of them.
　They're probably trying to destroy the cave and get out.

　When the last sound of an explosion reached their ears, they were already crushed by the pile of rocks.
