　As I was looking away from the boat, Leona-san, who had just joined us, walked up to us.

　I hear Ferrum's voice coming from inside me, and my senpai shouts.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For some reason, Ferm and Nair have been assimilated into me during the journey, and I sigh as I watch their conversation.

　The senpai looks astonished at their incomprehensible interjections.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Ha!　It's true that if you put out too many of the strongest types, they will either be replaced by even higher-level compatibles, or they will usually be beaten up or called a piece of shit. ......!"

"What?　What's this?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ferrum ......?"
