　After exploring the eighty-sixth layer, I found that I was useless. Since it was my first time to explore this new layer and I felt empty just floating around, I tried various experiments with the help of Bell and his friends. Fortunately?　Fortunately, lightning is constantly striking all over the place, so there is plenty of room for experimentation.

　(i) Pure water

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

　At first, I tried pure water, which seems to be almost impervious to electricity, to the best of my knowledge. When I defeated the subspecies of Sea Serpent in the 70th layer, I had explained this to Rain, so he made it for me immediately.

　Place a plate of pure water on top of the water flowing on the ground. A piece of metal is placed on top of it. I wondered if the pure water would mix with the plain water, but it seems to work. I was wondering if the pure water would not mix with the metal shards, but it seems to be OK. ...... Basically, there is less resistance for electricity to be transmitted to the ground than to pure water, and the metal shards are almost unaffected by lightning strikes.

　The electricity does hit the metal pieces by some chance, but it seems to be reduced to the level of static electricity. When I fearfully checked, I heard a cracking sound and my hand went numb. It was a little stronger than the electric shock goods used in punishment games, wasn't it?　It hurts, but not unbearably so. Would shoes and gloves made of pure water help?

　(d) Vacuum

　Ask Bell to create a layer of vacuum.

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

　Bell did not seem to understand the vacuum well and failed. Sylphy says that it is very difficult to keep a vacuum with wind, so even if it works, it is not suitable for exploration.

　(iii) Lightning rod

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

　We asked Tulu to grow metal pillars deep into the ground.

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

　It works, but not all of it flows into the ground, and the surface of the water makes a banging sound. Hmmm, is it saturated with too much lightning?　It is hard to walk around with a lightning rod bobbing around, so we reject the idea.

　(iv) Joint work

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

　Tulu lifts the ground, Lane drains the water, and Flare dries it completely with fire. Electricity no longer flows, but this too is too time-consuming and is rejected. It seems to me that just lifting up the ground might work, but I am not sure about this either, so I dismissed it.

　We tried many other things and failed repeatedly, and when we lost our way, we asked Tamamo to make a ship of leaves, and ended the experiment by doing something stupid like getting scorched by lightning.

"So what are you going to do?"

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

　Sylphy asks. I felt a hint of annoyance in her voice, but she seemed to give only a sad answer, so I let it go.

"Well, I've tried various methods, but the one that seems to work well is the use of pure water as a countermeasure against electric currents.

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

"That's the first method you tried, right?"

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

"...... yeah."

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

　In the end, I couldn't think of any other way to do it, so it's no wonder. You have done a lot of hard work, so please value not only the results but also the process. For someone like me, who doesn't even know the difference between direct current and exchange, I'd like to say out loud that I'm doing a good job. I won't say it.

"So what do you do with pure water?"

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

"Well, I'm thinking of having Rain make me some thick-soled, pure water shoes and gloves, and then I'll have him divert the water on the ground away from me."

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

　If we had shoes like thick-soled boots of pure water and gloves like mittens, we could make it work. They say that it does not take much force to divert the flow of water, since it only changes the flow of water. Even if an electric current flows through the water, it can be tolerated as long as it is a punishment game. It's not perfect, but we can say that we have a good prospect for our search.

"How do you like it?"

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

"It looks great on you, doesn't it?"

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

　Sylphy, why are you half-smiling in a questioning way?

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

"cool", "cue cue cue", "very nice", "coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" ......"

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

　It's nice to see the pure-eyed admiration of the Belles, but the thick-soled shoes of pure water and the mittens of pure water...... probably have the right reaction to Sylphy's.

　After breakfast and before leaving for the 87th layer, I asked Rain to make me some lightning protection equipment. I'll give up on the looks of it, since no one is looking at it. It's not as kitchen-roomy as nature's armor, so it's easier to feel comfortable. Now we have to summon If before we leave.

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

"Finally!"

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

　As soon as I summoned If, he jumped out of the room full of energy. He had been waiting for it.

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

"Yes, it's my turn, but it's like that outside. Are you okay?"

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

"Hmm?　Oh, it's raining, no problem. Rain don't put out my fire!

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

　If smiles grinning. Flare is smitten by the sight of him. So this is how he learns. It's cool, but it's only cool iff she's mature and wildly beautiful. If Flair said the same line, it would only make me smile. Well, I won't tell you that because you'll be disappointed if I do.

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

"Well, that's good to hear. The demon is an adamantite golem. I'll leave all the demons that attacked me to you.

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

"Adamantite!　Yeah, I'll take care of it!"

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

"Yes, please. I'd like to test the effectiveness of this equipment, so please turn a few demons this way at first.

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

"Equipment?　That weird water?　It looks like it's hard to move."

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

"Cue cue cue cue."

　Rain protests hard against If's problematic comments. She flaps her flippers in the most adorable way.

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

"Hmm?　Rain made that?　Lightning doesn't penetrate?　That's awesome. I'm sorry I said it was weird."

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

　If apologizes, perhaps over Rain's protests. Rain nods, cooing. It seems that he has forgiven her. After the conversation, Flair greets If happily, followed by Belle and the others.

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

"Hey, you're looking good. How are you doing?"

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

　If pats the greeting belles, and one by one, they give him a firm answer. He had taken care of the younger ones in the volcano where he used to live, he said. She is taking care of Belle and the others in a familiar way. She's like a big sister.

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

"Osh!　Yuta, let's get going!"

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

"Okay. Let's go. Rain, you clear the water around me, and Flair, you take the perimeter. Bell, Tulu, Tamamo, Moon, you search the chests and stairs. I'm counting on you.

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

"I'll find it, I'll do my best, I'll do my best, I'll do my best, I'll do my best, I'll do my best, I'll do my best, I'll do my best. ......"

　The search party runs out into a heavy thunderstorm. Since the heroes have not fully explored since the 87th layer, we can expect a lot of treasure chests. Good luck finding the treasure chest containing the magic wand.

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

"All right, let's go!"

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

　If can't wait either, he jumps into the thunderstorm without waiting for me. I thought ...... well, I don't have a specific destination in mind, I'll follow If, ...... but I can't see him anymore.

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

"What the hell!"

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

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm just saying, I can't collect the demon if it's defeated without me. It would be a waste of Adamantite if you throw it out there, so at least fight them where I can see it."

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

　I ask iff he resumed and complains.

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

"...... Hmm, well, I see. Okay. I'll go slowly, so follow me."

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

　Good. I think spirits are wonderful because they understand us when we talk to them. With the human battle-crazy types, it's easy to end up talking like you don't know what's going on.

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

"I'm coming for you!"

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

　If runs out into the rain, waving his right arm in the air. I rush after him. I catch up with him as he said he would go slowly, but his hands are already lit. He's really going for it. Flare, that's not what I meant by "watch the perimeter"...

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

　Our job is to watch where the demons are coming from, not to fly around the perimeter and guide If to the demons!

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

"......I'll warn you if the demons are about to surprise you, so why don't you let them do what they want this time?"

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

　Sylphy gives me a wry smile. ...... Well, I guess it can't be helped. Flair loves ifs. I feel like I'm losing to If, but Freya seems to be having a good time, so I'll give up this time.

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

"Thank you, please."

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

　I thank Sylphy and follow behind If as Flare leads the way. A little further on, three orc adamantite golems appear. Iph is happy to see them. Ah, the fire from his fists disappears as if it bursts out of him.

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

"Adamantite indeed!　This much fire isn't enough. Next time I'll go even hotter!"

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

　If is happy that his fire is extinguished. I immediately light both fists on fire and strike the orc that was coming towards me. Gains!　The orc is blown away with a dull thud.

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

　I wonder why metal and fire collide, and why metal is pushed down. Does fire become matter when it becomes dense?

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

"You're dealing with me!　Don't look the other way or you'll get burned!"

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

　Well, even a golem will come to me rather than to the fire. And does metal burn?　You've got a lot to be picky about this time. I watch the ifs fight in a daze, making clanging noises.

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

"Hmm, this is just right!　If you make it too hot, you lose the feel and it's boring. And remember the flare."

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

　Flare nodded with a cooing face. It seems that he has found the right temperature to melt adamantite while still having a certain degree of responsiveness. I wonder what the temperature is?

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

"Hey Sylphy. I think I'm starting to get a weird gifted feeling...should I stop?"

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

"Even if I stop you, you'll learn on your own because you'll be watching."

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

"I see. ......"

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

　Results of the IF experiment. An orc adamantite golem, melting into mush like an avant-garde work of art, but still moving awkwardly. Am I wrong to feel a little sorry for it?　

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

"It's time to move on."

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

　If gives the battered golem a quick blow and walks away. I guess he's forgotten all about my request for a few demons to turn around. I guess I'll wait until Iph is somewhat satisfied. I stow the melted orc golem and chase after Iph. If she's not satisfied by the end, we'll go to the 88th layer to verify it.

"You can call me again anytime you want!　You can really call them if you want!"

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

　You definitely want us to call them. I understand.

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

"I'm going back to Izumi's house at the 90th layer this time, so I'll call you again next time."

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

Absolutely!

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

"Yeah, no problem. I'm going to send you back now, so give my regards to the others."

　If had been in a good mood after the riot earlier, but now that he was to be repatriated, he was anxious to see what would happen next. He must have been bored to death. I feel a little sorry for him, but I send him back.

　Well, compared to the battle with the undead, the battle with If was worth watching. The fight against the dragon adamantite golem was especially great.

　A beautiful woman with fire in her fists punches a huge dragon in a heavy thunderstorm. If you don't mind the fact that her high pitched smile reminded me a bit of a berserker, it was a mythical world.

　Just as she was about to lead us to the treasure chest, Belle and the others were excited to see it!　It was like a hero show. I wish I could fight like that. It's a little sad when you use hammers and saws.
