I started out in this world and entered a dungeon for the first time.

　It's been about a year and a half since I came to this other world.
　It took me a long time to get into the dungeon.
　In fact, I wanted to try different dungeons right away.
　But I kept putting it off, imagining what it would be like to go into a dungeon as an apprentice wizard solo and be surrounded by monsters....
　It felt like my wish had come true, and I was a little impressed.

''This is amazing........''
Wow, beautiful.
　My voice was followed by Lucy's.

　From the unassuming entrance, we proceeded through a cave for a while, and found ourselves in a dungeon with a floor, walls and ceiling made of crystals.
　My expectations of a dark cave are betrayed.
　A faint light emanated from the entire dungeon, creating a fantastic space.

''Hoah, this is stunning.''
What's so rare about Fujiyama?
Yes, the regular dungeons are much spookier. They're not so bad either.
　It was my first time in the dungeon, but it looks like I hit a rare property.

''This place must have been built by a strong wizard. The enemies that appear are all magical creatures.
'What?　Are they magical creatures?

　That was troubling.
　Magical creatures are, as the name implies, creatures created by magical methods.
　The most famous ones are golems and so on.
　And magical creatures are highly durable to magic.

''I wonder if my magic can pass........''
　I don't think they can inflict a single wound on you when you're dealing with magical creatures.

''True!　Chin up!　I'm going to blow you away with my magic!
'Lucy's magic in a dungeon is scary, too.
　We're all going to be burned black.

Oh, God!　I'm just trying to comfort people.
Now, now, please calm down.
　Fujiyan intercedes.

"Oh, here comes the enemy.
　Nina pointed to it.
　A humanoid demon made of wood came out from that side.

"Wood golem?
''That's right. From my earlier investigation of this dungeon, it looks like this is their nest.
'Wood can burn in a fire!　It's my turn.
Hey, a**h*le, stop it.
　She rolls up her arms and covers Lucy's mouth as she begins to cast a spell.

'Phew!　What are you doing?
I think Nina is going to take you down.
Hmmm, you two should feel free to relax.

Come on.
　While we were having this conversation, Nina jumped in a heap and ran into a group of demons.
　Didn't she jump about 10 meters without assistance now?

Nina, wow...
　Lucy has a big gaping mouth.

　Nina delivers a spinning kick.
　With a thud, the golem is blown away with a sound like a car crash.
　The blown-up golem crashes into the wall and is scattered to pieces.
　The enemy wasn't hit quietly either.
　They surrounded Nina from all sides, trying to hold her down.

''Shouldn't we go in to help?''
No, no, it's okay.
　I ask Fujiyan, but my friend has a relaxed look on his face.

'Ha!'
　And Nina stomped the ground with gusto, and Don!　What looked like a shockwave spread out in a circle around them with a sound of "I'm sorry, I can't believe it.
　All the golems around them were blown away.

''Is that earth magic?''
　It looks like he's using a combination of magic with the body arts that Nina uses.
　Is she a magic fighter?

''Eh!　Was that magic?
　Lucy exclaims in surprise.
　Why doesn't the wizard notice?

'Nina-san can also use uncensored magic........'
　He's in shock.
　I don't think it's anything to be concerned about, but let me correct you on that one.

You're going to be able to find out that Nina-dono isn't an un-casting magic," Fujiyan told me first.
''Eh?　Is that so?
That's because we've trained it to automatically activate its magic when you do certain actions. Just like that one time when you stomped on the ground, it sends out a shockwave.
That's right. You are well aware of that.
　Fujiyan says as if impressed.

　I'm a wizard, so I should be able to see that when I see it.
　Lucy-san didn't seem to notice it at all, though.
'Well, then!　Can I copy that?
　Did they think they could shorten the three minutes of chanting?

Can Lucy summon the fighters?
...What?
　Swordsmen and fighters call the power that wizards call magic power (mana) their fighting spirit (aura).
　Specifically, they use it on their bodies and weapons.
　It is said that all warriors above the intermediate level use it, so Jean must have used it too.
　I gave Lucy such an explanation.

'Jean's wind blade was the same type of magic.
'What?　Wasn't that a magical weapon?
That's kind of magical, too.
　Magic, or rather a fighting spirit technique.

'Nina-dono blurted out that she was forced to practice the same technique tens of thousands of times under a magical combatant master.
''I suppose. They say the difficulty of learning a move that allows you to do physical attacks and magic at the same time is nothing compared to magic.
Yeah, I see.
　You can't make it easy, can you?　Lucy.
　I wanted to be a magic swordsman, so I studied that in detail a long time ago.
　I found out that with my magic level, if I used it as fighting spirit, I would run out of gas after about five minutes.
　I've heard that if you put together a fighting spirit, it will strengthen your body enough to wield a sword, but I've given up on using it for now.

''It's over.
　Five minutes later.
　The Wood Golem was all shattered by Nina's Warriors.

''It's outrageous.''
　So this is what the Silver Rank is capable of.
''Nina-san, that's amazing.
　Lucy is clapping her hands.

'Good work, Lord Nina.
It's a piece of cake.
　Nina isn't out of breath.

''These guys seem to be generated by the dungeon and will spring up again after a while, so let's get to the back of the room.
You don't even need us.
Well, well, you say that. Perhaps we have another enemy.
I don't know.

　The dungeon is a simple structure and basically a straight road.
　Here and there, there are side holes from which demons come out.
　I wonder if the demons are infinite springs.
　Nina handles them easily, but there are quite a few of them.
　In the meantime, I also tried generating water with my recently acquired spirit magic and attacking with water magic, but the damage to the enemy is not efficient.
　It's faster for Nina-san to put one kick in than for me to hit ten ice arrows.

''This wasn't possible with just me and Makoto, was it?
'Yeah. My magic wouldn't have beaten her, and Lucy would have been outnumbered and outgunned because she couldn't string magic together.
　We'll use it for future reference.

'And yet there are so many of them.
　Lucy, who isn't doing anything in particular, looks bored.
''Generating and controlling this many golems would require quite a bit of magical power, wouldn't it? There's a chance that the facility that powers this dungeon has something valuable in it.''
　Fujiyan seems to be enjoying himself.
'How far did you casing Nina-san?'
　I spoke to Nina.
　I've just finished defeating a bunch of demons.
''Hmm, there was a staircase down ahead, so that's as far as it goes before that.

　As he said, there was a large staircase at the end of the passage.
　The stairs went on for quite a long time, but there were no enemies on the way.
　Once down the stairs, it was a slightly open space and a large door could be seen.
　Apparently, the deepest part of this facility was near.

''The problem is that thing in front of the door, isn't it?''
Yeah.

　The danger-sensing alert was loud from earlier.

　Right in front of the door, a demon no different in size than the gryphon from the other day was lying in front of it.
