The moment I entered the forest, particles of light gathered in front of me.

When they gather, they turn into mirrors.

It is a mirror about 30 cetches in diameter. A large jewel is set into the top of the mirror.

We already know this from the information in the guild newspaper.

It is said that this mirror has a will. And when the jewel shines...

Hello hello hello, fellow adventurers! I'm so jealous! Ha-ha-ha!

A woman's voice started speaking. She was in a different direction from Anna, the receptionist, who was in high spirits.

Nice to meet you, I am 'Magic Mirror'. You may call me 'Ma-chan' or 'Ma-sama' after the initials of 'magic'. However, it is not recommended to use the first letter of "mirror". Because it would be "Ka-chan"! Who's your mother! I am your mother! Hi here's the part where I laugh! Ha-ha-ha-ha!'

My brow wrinkles. Prine is frozen in surprise.

I responded.

'Well, let's go with Ma-chan.
'Yes, Warrior, you're early! Hmm? Mage? Well, to be a senior at your age is admirable! That mage over there has so much magic power that I can't imagine from her looks! And she has big tits!

What a noisy mirror.

I am Rana Prata. The pretty mage over here is Prine Lamode. Nice to meet you, Mar-chan.
'Psst, I'm Prine Lamode! Nice to meet you, Mr. Magic Mirror!
'Yes, yes, it's nice to meet you! I just called you a pretty mage! You're a flirt as soon as you meet me! Five seconds after meeting, you climaxed instantly!

'I don't know what you're talking about, but if you say any more gibberish in front of Prine, I'm going to break you, mirror.
Sorry.'
'Sh, was it a shimmy ......?'

Kagami apologizes quickly and Prine is bewildered.

I cough.

'So, you have an explanation, don't you?
'Yes, yes! You can't go on this 22nd layer with a party! You will proceed solo!

A shiny mirror glows as it speaks.

'Deep in the forest, there are as many "crystals" as there are party members! You are a party of two, so that's two! And you have to touch the crystals in two different places at the same time!

Prine nodded her head. Cute.

''That's why we're splitting up the party and you'll have to go on solo! But don't worry! Don't worry! Because for every person in your party, there will be an extra mirror to support you! Hi, applause!

'Wow, thank you very much!
'Yes, that would be great.

Me and Prine clapping.

'Yay, young man with a great sense of humor! I'll do my best, sister! It's a mirror!

The mirror grew, and then it became two mirrors.

The two mirrors are reflecting each other.

Mirror, mirror, mirror? Who is the most beautiful mirror in the world? What, no............? Me! It's a mirror! Shiny, shiny, shiny!

I don't understand.

Then one of the mirrors jumped and landed on Prine's hand.

What?
'Good day, missy, your boobs and magic are about to be ripped off...'
'Yo, nice to meet you. ......?'

In the mirror I was holding, I saw Prine's reflection and heard her voice at the same time. I see.

So this is how we can talk to each other.
'Exactly! We can even show each other our naughty things in the mirror!

'I said I'd break it the next time you made a simpering comment.'
No, it's not. It was me, the mirror over there, who said that. It wasn't me.
'It's the same thing, isn't it?
'Eh, s*x is ....... Showing Ra the inside of your mouth or ......? Gee, that's embarrassing. ......!

Apparently, showing the inside of your mouth is a naughty thing to do. That's a new one, Miss Prine.

It's not like I'm forcing you to do it every night.

''Well, now that we've opened a new door for the girls, let's get going!

The mirror in my hand and Prine's hand speaks in stereo.

'Prine'.
'Ra,Ra-kun ......'

I turned to face Prine.



From now on, we have to go through this dark forest alone.

Prine must feel discouraged. It's not often that I'm completely alone.

I whispered to her in the gentlest voice possible.

Don't worry, Prine. You have the magic mirror and you can always talk to me. Even when we are apart, we are still together.
'...... yeah, yeah'.
'Call me Ma-chan!

Prine nods with a tearful expression.

'If you get into trouble, you can use your magic - return to the pit back here immediately. If you can't use magic, use the transfer crystals without hesitation. I'll be there to pick you up. Okay?
'Yeah, Ra-kun. ......! I, I, I'm so scared of being separated from you, Ra, but ......!
'I'll explain! Pit-back is a magic that allows you to return to the starting point of the floor!

Prine nodded at my words and shook my hand forcefully.

'I'll do my best, even if I have to do it alone. ......! Ra-kun brought me here, and thanks to Ra-kun, my mage level has improved. ...... So, so ......! I'll do my best for you, Ra. ......!
'Prine!
'The moon~is~a~mirror~of~the~night~sky,~when~it~is~full~and~when~it~is~missing,~and~I~ look~at~you~at~night.'

I was so moved by Prine's words that I involuntarily hugged her. Gently, so that my armor would not hurt her, but with my hands full of love.

'Prine, I love you. Take it easy. I'll see you again. I know you can do it.
'I love, love, love you too. Don't hurt yourself too, Ra-kun. ......!
'I, Mirror ....... I'm right next to you. ....... Yes, you are.
Right next to ....... So I want you to let me in....... It was windy and cold....... I'm flapping and cracking....... I mean, a window, not a mirror! Ha-ha-ha-ha!'

And the mirror is loud.

'Whenever I look in the mirror, I see your reflection...' Oh, no! I can't see! It's a dark world! World of Darkness! The Dark World! Ragnarok! Ragnarok is too confusing, so I'm changing it to Battle Royale! You're all going to kill each other now?

I put a cloth over the mirror and threw it in my bag. I can subtly hear the noise still going on inside. What can I do to shut him up completely? Crack it open. If I break it, will it come out again?

'Uh, uh, Ra-kun ......? Mr. Kagami, you seem to be crying, "Let me out", "Forgive me", "Why are you up in the middle of the night?", "Why are you up in the middle of the night?", ......?
'It's okay, Prine. It's okay. Come on. Come on.
'Yes, Ra-kun, handsome.

I pulled myself together and hugged Prine back.

Then we kissed, looked at each other long enough, kissed goodbye, kissed again, kissed for no particular reason, pulled apart and kissed again.

I kissed him for no particular reason, and then we kissed once more.

With shiny mirrors in our hands, we looked back at the forest.

We squeezed our hands together and looked where we were going.

Ahead of us, there are several animal paths.

We each took two mirrors in our hands, and then we let go of each other's hands and walked along another animal trail.

Prine
'Mr. Ra'.

After five steps, we went back and kissed one last time, then both of us glanced back at each other regretfully as we entered the path.

Too much of a couple!

Too many couples!

I could hear them coming from this mirror and that mirror at the same time.

Well...

Let's get on with it! First of all, I need to see Prine in the mirror!''
'To my horror, the same request is being made by me over there.

Prine in the mirror.

'Ra-kun, it's been a long time!

Prine smiles so happily.

I make a sharp face,

--Be careful. The dungeon has already begun!

'Aww, he's so cute! You're an angel, Prine!

I mistook the voice in my mind for the actual voice.

Yes, I'll be careful!

Prine laughs and nods.

The mirror sounded horrified,

'How did you know? What, I'm scared, how did you get through?
'Because, I've been with Ra-kun for a long time. ......'
'Prine knows everything about me.'

''Hey''
'Don't you be flirting through me! Ah, the enemy.



'Tei'.

I got close to the big hobgoblin at the end of the road before he noticed me, and with a single punch I smashed his head into tiny pieces. No need to draw my sword.

'This floor is for solo play, and there are a few weaker monsters on the floor...oh, no, isn't that the point? Brother, aren't they really strong? I thought you could beat the boss by yourself.''

'Well, yeah. What about Prine?

The mirror reflected back to me what was going on over there.

Prine made the cat god's coat invisible, then magically levitated and moved over Black Wolf's head without being noticed at all.

That's Prine! She has done exactly what she planned in advance.

''Ra-kun, I'll do my best!
'Oh! Nice job, Prine!

We both look at each other through the mirror and give each other gut-pumps.

'By any chance, don't you need a mirror ......? Lies......Mirror I'm "my "only'me's part......?'

Listening to the lonely shiny mirror muttering such things, Prine and I continued through the 22nd layer.
