The chimera looks unhappy as her bed is flooded.

"Nina-san, I'm going to give you a water magic trick.
'No, don't worry. I'll be fine, since I'm not going to be able to step on it.
Okay.
　I've done something annoying to Nina........

Lady Takatsuki, I need your support.
I understand.
　I'll do what I can.
　With this much water, there are a lot of moves I can make.

"Lucy, say hello to the magic chant.
Yeah. But maybe we can avoid it again.
　Lucy looks somewhat shrill.
'I'll hold you back so you can go all out.
Okay, okay!

If it becomes dangerous, we need to take it easy.
　Fujiyan tells everyone, holding the item for the return trip in his hand.

''Then let's go, nay!'' Nina plunged in.
　This guy really doesn't hesitate!

　Chimera is defending against any damage from Nina-san's kicking techniques.
　The rest of the time, she seems to be wary of Lucy's magic.
　I guess I'm about third.
　I'm angry, but I can also say that thanks to that, she's caught me off guard.

'Good!'
　Nina throws a kick.
　It's aimed at the goat head.
　That much is the same as before.

"Water magic fog.
　I create a thick fog around the chimera.
　However, if I cover it completely, I can't see where the chimera is, so I only cover it with fog.
　The chimera has three heads.
　It has three heads: a goat's head, a lion's head and a snake with a tail.
　The three heads are looking around, so there is not much room for error.
　Covering those heads with fog should obstruct their vision.

　Thump, a booming sound echoed and hit the chimera cleanly.
　This time, it falls over on its side.

''Fire magic, fire arrows!''
　Without missing the opportunity, Lucy unleashes her magic.
　However, this is just.........

''Off course.........''
　Nina said ruefully.
　Lucy's magic had dislodged the chimera from a straight line.

　Chimera, who had fallen, saw the danger and rushed to get up, but seemed relieved to see that Lucy's magic was off.
　But, sweet Chimera.

'Water magic, ice floor, water magic, water flow.

　He freezes the floor underneath Chimera's feet and uses more water magic to move Chimera around.
　The chimera seems to be in a hurry and tries to hold on, but it's too late!
　The chimera collided head-on with a no-contact fire arrow fired by Lucy.

　Geeeeeeeeee! Whew!　And the lion and the goat screamed and the chimera was engulfed in flames.

'This is your chance, ne.
　And Nina jumps around the top of the chimera.
　It looks like she's casting a spell.

'Earth magic, big rock.'
　Oh, you can also use chanting magic normally.
　A huge rock several meters long appeared at Nina's feet.

''Shoot!''
　He kicked it down to the chimera as hard as he could.
　With a thud, Oiwa crushed the chimera.
　Geeee," the chimera lets out a pained voice and falls limp.

'Ta, did you beat it?'
Please wait. I'll give you an opinion.
　Lucy and Fujiyan came running in.

'Mm, he's dead. That's great, folks.
''Nina-san, you're an intermediate earth magician, right? You can even use spells like that.
　I thought he was a melee only fighter, but he had some hidden techniques.
　The Silver rank is different after all.

'No, no, it's only because of Lucy-sama's magic power and Takatsuki-sama's support until I hit it.
　Nina replies with a smirk.
　This humility, even though I was the vanguard of the chimera battle all by myself and took the final tome with me.

'Well, it's a choroi under my spell.
　I want this no-contact wizard to learn from me.

'Lucy's magic didn't hit me at all?
"Ug.
You're going to miss one in two.
'Shut up!　It's okay, because it turned out to be right.
　It feels like I forced a guess, but let's just say it's okay.

Then let's go. Fujiyan is sticking out.
'Do you have a strong weapon when it comes to a 1000 year old facility?
　To be honest, I'm a little excited about it too.
　This kind of thing has a hidden dungeon-like feel to it.

　We'll collect the chimera materials later, but we proceeded to the door at the back.

　The door was a thick iron door, but it wasn't locked, and when Nina pushed it, it opened slowly with a heavy sound.

　◇

It's like a research facility.
　On the other side of the door, there were old shelves and a few machines that I didn't understand.
　All of them were rusty and weathered.
　I was expecting to find a pile of treasures!　It wasn't like that.

'What, it's boring!' complained Lucy.
Well, well, you might be able to find a great deal more than you think. What do you think, master?
Hmm, not much of value at first glance.
　He's probably using his appraisal skills.
　Fujiyan is looking around scowling.

　Too bad.
　It seems to have been a mistake.
　Well, gold and silver treasures in a dungeon that was discovered by chance, how could it be good?

''Hey, hey, there's more to it.
　It looks like Lucy, who has no interest in the research facility, has explored the back of the building by herself.
Hey, you can't go in there by yourself. It's not safe.
It's okay. You defeated the gatekeepers, so there are no demons here.
'That's the kind of dialogue that gets you first. In movies and stuff like that.
A movie?
　Next time I'm going to show Lucy the importance of the death flag.

'Ooh, this looks like a dungeon power room,'
　Perhaps worried about Lucy wandering off by herself, Nina-san seemed to have gone along with her.
　'I'm sorry, my girl.

'Ho!　The power room!　It must be a lot of energy to power an artificial dungeon that's been operating for a thousand years.
　Fujiyan exclaimed excitedly.
''Master-. There's a huge, huge magical stone.
　Nina reports well.
　She and Fujiyan are a good pair.

"Fujiyan, did you find anything of value?
　By the way, I'm walking around the city of Shin-gari while keeping an eye out for danger.
　I'm trying to find out if there are any demons hiding behind the iron door to prevent them from coming in, but it looks like there's no problem at the moment.

It's amazing!　I didn't know there was a giant magical stone like this!　That's enough to cover all the energy used in the city of McAllen!
　Looks like they found a bargain.
　Let's see, I think I'm going to take a look.

Wow, I've never seen a magical stone this big even in the village of the elves. Ah, that's something spicy.
Luce?　You don't want to touch it too carelessly...

''Whoa, if you bring this back, the city of McAllen will be reborn.
Master!
Mr. Fujiyan!　What's going on?
　Huh?　What's happened.

'Fujiyan, what's going on!　I mean, this is awesome.
　When I entered the back room, a seven-colored magical stone, bigger than the chimera I saw earlier, was moving slowly.

　Why is the stone moving?

Come on! We've got to get out of here!　We've caused a hell of a thing!
　Fujiyan has a very pale face.

''What's going on here!''
　Lucy, as usual, is panicking.
'......
　Nina is poised to protect Fujiyan.

　I ran up to the three of them.

"Oh no, this is bad. This is not good........
Fujiyama?
　He called out to his friend who was mumbling to himself.

　The seven-colored magical stones in front of me slowly grew upwards, then wiggled and changed shape as they rippled.

''Hi, human?'' Lucy's trembling voice reached her ears.

　The seven-colored magic stone changed its shape into a giant human shape.


--Still, large eyes looked down at me.

　The glowing giant, which looked like a larger version of the ogre we fought before, looked at me and smiled, "Nitaa.

　Oh........this is a bad one.
