The wedding party had begun and a lot of time had passed.
　As the sun was going down and it was getting dark, the candles set up on each table were lit.

　It was dark by itself, so Efreet, Sylph and Undine worked together to float countless softly glowing magic balls in the hall.

　The fantastic scene took the breath away from everyone present.


　A little later, I noticed a few people preparing to leave here and there.

　Now that we've said hello to all the guests, I think it's time for us to go home.

　Since this venue is open until tomorrow, I heard that some people who love to drink have been drinking all night.

　Anyway, it was good that the wedding party was over without incident.

　A lot of things happened, but thanks to Undine, we managed it.

　It was probably because of Undine's influence in this country that King Glendale promised to protect us, the House of Elnor.

　Before I leave, I would like to thank Undine for her help.

　And by the way, I also have to say hello to Efreet, Sylph and Ossan for coming.


Thank you all for coming today. Especially Undine, you helped me a lot. Thank you.

　The Star Spirit King and the three spirit kings were gathered at one table, enjoying the food and drinks.

''Hmm, Halt, are you leaving already?　Why don't you talk to us some more?

'Tina and Rifa look tired, so I'm going home. I'm a little tired too.

　The Star Spirit King beckoned me to leave, but I could see the fatigue in Tina and the others, so I decided to leave.

　I was also tired after dealing with the nobles for the first time in a long time.

''Come back to our mansion at the Magic Academy some other time. I've given you the magic power for the manifestation, right?　If you want, I can give you more now?

No, that's not enough. We've received more than enough magic. Then, after Halt and the others have settled down, we'll be able to get together again in this way.

Yeah, I'll entertain you then.

　With that, I turned to follow Tina and the others who had left the hall earlier.


''Oh, Hurt. I just wanted to ask you one thing, okay?

　Undine has a question for you.

　He's the most meritorious man of the day.
　I'll give you all the answers you can think of.

"What?

'Your magic that didn't go away in my dungeon before. What is the principle behind it?　That time, Hurt said he'd teach me eventually, but you didn't call me over very often!　I'm just curious.

　Oh, you mean that time we burned down the Steel Forest.

　Sure, I said I'd tell you sooner or later.

　I thought it was now, but Undine seemed very concerned about it, and she helped me out today, so I'll tell her.

'Undine's water prison is airtight, right?　So if you normally confine the fire, it'll go out.

'Yes, and yet that Knight of Fire didn't disappear. Isn't it common knowledge that if you pour water on the fire in the first place, it would disappear!

Water is the ingredient that burns fire when electricity is running.

What...?

　Undine is disconcerted.
　It's not surprising.

　In this world, there is no way that water electrolysis or anything else is known.

　The weakness of the flame knight is of course the water magic method.

　That's why I took countermeasures.

　I had a lightning spell built into the body surface of the flame knight that is activated when it comes in contact with water.

　When an enemy attacks you with water magic, it electrolyses the water and changes it into oxygen and hydrogen.

　That oxygen and hydrogen would become the fuel that would continue to burn the Flaming Knight.

　By the way, not only in Undine's water prison, but most water magic laws are composed of pure water and cannot normally be electrolysed.

　That's why I've created a technique where when the flame knight is attacked by the water magic method, my magic power jumps out of the flame knight, erodes the water in the water magic method and converts it into another object that can be electrolysed.

　Of course, with a complex combination of magic that consumes less than 10 magic power.


　The flame knight burns with a considerable amount of firepower, so it won't disappear even if it's sprayed with water.

　Even if they were trapped in a water prison, they would be weak at first, but once my magic is activated and the surrounding water becomes something that can be electrolysed, it will be a state where more and more fuel is supplied from around for the flame knight.

　I explained this to Undine as simply as I could.

'A flame that won't go out if you pour water on it directly?　S-, on the contrary, pouring water on it will increase the firepower...

　The look of disbelief.

　No wonder.

　I once wondered what I would do if the flame knight went out of control, too.

　However, I realized that it wouldn't be a problem because I could create a vacuum space with the application of wind magic and put the flame knight in it and it would be annihilated immediately.

　A knight of fire that was supposed to strengthen fire, and a knight of fire that was supposed to be strengthened by wind and strengthened by water that was supposed to extinguish fire.

　When I invented this guy, I was convinced that not many people could defeat him.

　The only way to defeat a flame knight is to put it in a vacuum space or pull out its core while preparing to be severely burned.

　In this world where the word "vacuum" is not well known, there should be few who can create a vacuum space with magic.

　Also, if you have the ability to regenerate, you can pull out the core, but it's quite painful, so I don't think there are many people who would do this either.

　Even if you succeed in pulling out the core, I usually create more than one flame knight, so even if you pull out one core, other knights will attack in cooperation and it will be impossible to eradicate them.

　To begin with, the weakness of the flaming flame knight is obviously water magic, no matter how one looks at it.


'I see, water only strengthens Halt's magic. In other words, it doesn't matter if it's because I was forcefully summoned or not at all, I, as a water spirit, can't win against Hurt no matter how I scramble, right?

'No, I don't think so but...'

　There's something dark about Undine.

　Well, I have no intention of fighting Undine, so I don't care if I can win or not.


''No, it's just that it was a mistake to sign up with Hurt after all. I will continue to be the shield and the brunt of Hurt's contract I won't cut my contract because I'm useless, will I?

No way!

Well, that helps. Well, keep up the good work.

Yeah, well, it's nice to meet you too.

　Undine's expression brightened.

　She's still a beauty.
　I couldn't help but admire the smile on Undine's face.


　I have to get to my two wives as soon as possible.

　I bowed to the people who had come to the venue and left the reception hall.
