I'm sorry.

"Um, Mako-sama. Are you sure it's just the two of us?
　I asked in a voice that was tinged with anxiety.

　The Immortal King's castle, where the Bifrons are.
　There are only two of us heading that way.
　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm not sure what to do.
　However, I still feel uneasy with just the two of us.
　The Demon King, who rules this continent, awaits us on our way.

We've had a good rest in the Great Labyrinth, and the weather is good. No demons are coming out. There's nothing to worry about, right?
　Makoto-sama replied in an annoyingly aloof manner.
　He's my favorite person, but ...... can't we do something about this difference in values?

Where is the good weather? ....... It's raining a lot, isn't it?
　The rain is noisy and visibility is poor.
　I don't understand how you can call it a good day.

"This rain is coming from the Great Spirit of Water, little one.
"I know, Dea.
　I'm sure you're not the only one.

　I'm not sure what to make of it.
　After all, even Master Hakuryu said that he was no match for her.
　I'm no match for him.
　But I don't like the fact that he's always standing next to Master Makoto like he owns the place.

"Makoto-sama, why are you making it rain?
　As I wrapped my arms around him, Dea grabbed his arm from the other side.

I'll explain it to you when we get there. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.
　Makoto-sama (Shisho) seems to be having fun.

　I mean, as usual.
　We're about to fight the Demon Lord.
　It's the same as always.

"Mmm. ......, well, I understand that. But I don't agree with the fact that I'm going to be fighting the Demon Lord for the wrong reasons!
　I appealed to her in a strong tone.
　Yes, I've trained so hard, but I'm not going to participate in the fight against the Demon Lord. 　
　That's not possible!

It can't be helped. You can't help it. According to the Goddess of Fate (Ila), if the vampire peaches get close to the Immortal King (Bifrost), they may be manipulated again.
But ......, that doesn't mean ......
But , that doesn't mean that , that doesn't mean that , that doesn't mean that , that doesn't mean that , that doesn't mean that At least, I can't. So you'll be supporting me this time. If there are any wounded who can't fight, I want you to teleport them out of the combat zone.
"Umm ......, yes ......, I understand.
　I nodded curtly.
　If you say it like that, I have no choice but to obey.

"Huh, I'll take care of my king, so the little guy won't have to.
"What?　You were useless at the Underwater Temple!
What?　If it's not an underwater temple, I'm a very capable water spirit!
No!　I know that the place Makoto-sama wants to go the most is the Undersea Temple!

"Shut up, you little... You're too short for that!
What?　You can't do anything because your body is made of water!
"Hmm, you can do this and that with my king, .......
Wow, I could do that, too, if I wanted to. ......
Okay, stop. There's a demon, you two.
　I'm sure you're not the only one who has a problem with that.
　I hurriedly turned my gaze forward.

　In front of me, a huge demon undead.
　A huge undead demon was dipped in ice.

　Apparently, Makoto-sama had frozen it.

Don't make too much noise.
"Yes, .......
　We nodded quietly in anger.
　We glanced at the iced demon.

　In the event that you're not sure what you're looking for, you'll be able to find out more about it here.

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

　Normally, magic requires some preparation before it can be activated.
　First, there is the spell.
　For those who are not familiar with magic, chanting the spell activates the magic.
　Repeat the process over and over, and eventually you can skip the chanting and get a no-chant spell.
　This is the stage I'm at now. 　

　Gather the magic power, select the target, and cast the spell.
　Two to three seconds.



　Master Hakuryu praised me, saying, "To reach that level in half a year, you are one of the best in a hundred years.
　I was so happy.
　Now I can be of use to you, Master Makoto!　
　That's what I thought.

　I looked around.

　The sky was pouring rain.
　And yet, there was no rain on us.
　Large drops of rain avoid us like a living thing.

　The same goes for the ground.
　Even though it's so muddy, only my feet and Makoto's are easy to walk on.
　In fact, the water was carrying us along on its own.
　It was a strange situation.

　I know why.
　Makoto is using water magic to manipulate rain and water.
　That's why Shisho and I don't get wet and we can walk on the ground full of rainwater.

　Not even a single drop of water from the erratic rain hits me.
　Even this rain is the magic of Lord Makoto.
　As far as I can see, the rain clouds are spreading everywhere.
　How much of this is the magic of Makoto-sama? ......?

　I don't know.
　I don't know how it's possible.
　But at least I know one thing.
　I don't think I can do the same thing. ....... 　　　

"Momo, what's wrong?
　Momo, what's wrong?" Makoto-sama (Shisho) asked worriedly.

No, ......, but this water magic that's making it rain. What is it called?
"Well, I don't really have a name for it. I don't know. If it's just to make rain, even a peach can do it, right?
Not over such a large area!　Besides, it's a complicated technique to keep us dry. ......
It's not like we can just think, "Don't hit me," and the water will avoid us, right?
"............
　No, I don't understand.
　The concept of magic Master Hakuryu taught me is broken.

　If I think it, it will happen?
　I'm not sure if that's magic for humans anymore.
　Isn't it a miracle of God?

　I stared at the back of Makoto-sama, who was not big, but the most reassuring person in the world.

(...... I have to keep up with him, I don't want to be left behind)

　The person you love you don't really know what they're thinking.
　I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.



　I'm sure you'll understand.


　I'm not sure what to do.
　We left the Great Labyrinth.

　The fog was deep and visibility was poor.
　We'll go carefully through it.

　led by Jonny, the leader of the labyrinth city.
　There are also the Earth Brave (Wolf), the Wood Brave (Julietta), the Iron Brave, and the warriors who live in the city of the Great Labyrinth.
　In addition, there is also the Shiro Dragon (Helpmelk) and his companions, the Ancient Dragons.

　There are nearly a thousand of them.
　It's definitely the largest scale I know of.
　I've never seen such a large group of people in action before.
　We've always been able to move only in small numbers, hidden from the eyes of the demons.

　But not this time.
　We can take a good rest and prepare our forces to challenge the Demon Lord.
　We can challenge him in a perfect state.

(Fire hero ......, this time we will defeat the Demon Lord)

　As I was making my secret decision, I heard a conversation from next door.

The fog is thick. I'm sure the demons won't be able to find us now.
"The water spirits are happy. The water spirits are happy. "As usual, Makoto-dono's spirit magic.
I was wondering how such a large group of people could get close enough to the Demon Lord's army without being detected. ...... I didn't think they could generate enough fog to cover a large forest. ......
But it's a good move. But it's a good move, especially since you can control the weather.

He's the only genie who can control the weather on this scale.
There are a lot of elves who are also spirit users, but ......, Makoto-dono is exceptional.
　I'm not sure what to make of that.
　They both praised Mako's magic.
　But ......

I'm not sure what to make of this.　I'm sure you're not the only one.
　I really wanted to come with you.
　But Makoto wouldn't let me.

"Abel, you're supposed to defeat the Demon Lord, so please come with the others. Don't fight on the way. You can rely on Hakuryu and Johnny. Is that okay?
"Yes, yes .......
　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.


　Why are they telling me so much?
　Are you worried about me ......?

　No, no.
　It's Makoto and Momo I'm worried about. 　
　The demons near the castle are strong.
　It could happen if...


"Worry about the wizard?　It's no use.
I know a water spirit when I see one. It's just a walk in the park for him.
　Both Bailong and Jonny were not worried about Makoto at all.

　I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out.
　Ugh. .......
　I'm not sure what to say.



　A few days later.



　A few days later.
　A huge black castle came into view in the distance.



　--The castle of the Bifrons.



　The last time we came here, the leader of the party, a fire hero, had been killed and we were taken prisoner because we were upset.
　On the verge of execution, we were saved by Makoto.

　But this time, .......
　When I took a small, deep breath with a nervous look on my face.


"What?　What is that ......?
"Hey, Julieta, the wooden hero. You're talking too loud.
Oh, ......, that's the work of a spirit wizard. Is this what you mean by strategy?
It's a basic castle attack, but ......, it's a daring one.

　I hear other people's voices buzzing.
　What's going on ......?
　I approached the people who were conversing.

　With my eyes, I looked towards the castle of the evil king. ......


What?


　A dumb voice came out of my mouth.

　You're lying, Makoto-san. ....... 　

　There was -------- a huge lake submerged in the water. It was the Demon Lord's castle.
