According to Eel, the captain of the guard in the frontier city of Guianacombe.

　A few hours ago, the ancient monster tribe had suddenly attacked them.

　Since the ancient monster tribe's intelligence is low and only a few of them are able to communicate with their chiefs, they have been concentrating on defending themselves without knowing why they were attacked.

''Normally, our people of Gianacombe and the ancient monster tribe had established a friendly relationship with the ancient monster tribe, but... I have no idea what happened...''　
　As he said this, Eir held his head in his hands.

''I'm wondering if you all can somehow get the chief of the ancient monster tribe to find out the reason for this attack.
　If they are dealing with people from countries that are not directly related to this Giana Combe, the chiefs might be able to show up and talk to them.
　Saying that, he bows his head deeply again.

　However, the magic ship has already been attacked, and
　In addition, some monstrous birds were also captured by the Selvin sisters.

　If these actions were seen as hostile, it seemed dangerous to bypass them.
　I wanted to help them somehow, but I was thinking about the conflict between putting everyone in danger... and folding my arms in thought.
''Let's go. I want to help those in need as much as you do.
　Saying that, Erdena taps me on the shoulder.
''Myself, I haven't been able to test-drive the magic armored infantry, either. Engagement is what we want!
We must not engage in battle at the outset!　I think the best thing to do is to talk about it first, don't you?　It's not all about gimping!
　Although Biblina stilled the motivated Lil Pop, she herself was already wearing her armor and was motivated.
''I'll protect you and Ela too,''
　Aura, the dragonborn, nodded vigorously, and behind her, Aela nodded as well.

　Pressed by everyone's words, I decided to accept this offer.

　Since I have to fulfill my original objective of bringing back the wife of the dead man great sorcerer (Elder Rich) Dorun, I asked Eel if he had any idea of the dead man great sorcerer (Elder Rich) living in this vicinity.
'....Speaking of which, I've heard that there is a dead sorcerer in the caves of Grango Volcano, a little north of here.
　I was able to get the information that
That area is close to the ancient monster tribe's stronghold and it would be dangerous to go near it now.
　This was the case.

　Nevertheless, either way, if that was close to the root of the place, I would have to go to that area to talk to the chief of the ancient monster race.
　I decided to gather everyone together and devise a plan.

　First of all, we moved to the side of Grango Volcano with the magic ship.
　While fending off the attacks of the ancient monster tribe, I'm going to look for the head of the ancient monster tribe, manage to get into a discussion with him, and find out more about the situation.
　After that, I'll decide on a course of action depending on the situation.
　
　Roughly speaking, it was decided that this was the way the operation would go, and that the search for the cave would be done after the discussion went well.
''........Speaking of which, what was the name of Dorun's wife?''
'Oh, it's 'Tiana Tiana Deanna' and she says you can call her Deanna.
We'll get it over with in no time.
　I smile back at Eldena, who smiles so, too.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

　The operation began immediately.
　We left the magic ship for Grango Volcano.

　After advancing for a while, as expected, the monstrous bird from the direction of the volcano flies in from the direction of the volcano.
　However, in addition to the dragonized Aura and Aera sitting on the deck and threatening the surroundings, it seems to be affected by the fact that some of their companions were recovered by the Serbin sisters' forced capture magic earlier, so they only shouted threats from a considerable distance and in the distance.
　At worst, if they were going to attack us here, I was planning to add Aura Aela, plus Lil Pop's magic-armored infantry flying form to start eliminating them, but since this was the situation, I would move to Plan B.

　"Ahhhh, ancient monster race, can you hear me?"

　With the voice extension of the demonic infantry in full effect, Lil Pop speaks to the people around him.

　"We do not wish to fight, sir. Why are we attacking Guianacombe?
　　I would like to know the truth of it, sir."

　As if they couldn't understand Lilpop's words, the monstrous birds around the magic ship continued to shout threats incessantly.
　Still, when Lilpop continued to voice

"Kettai na hitori no yo, damaru ga yo.
　A heavy bass voice came from the jungle below.
''I am Dirano, chief of the ancient monster race. Do you want to hear me get angry?　Man no man.
　At the same time, a huge tyrannosaurus-like monster appeared, pushing away part of the jungle.

　For now, we succeeded in drawing the chief out into the discussion.
　I bring the mage ship to a halt at Dirano's line of sight, and we walk out on deck to face each other.
　
　Since I'm in charge of this ship, I step forward.
　You can also have a look at your own eyes while controlling Aura and others' attempts to intimidate you excessively.
I'm not sure what you mean by anger, Mr. Dirano. I would like to know if you would like to know.
　At least the men of Gianacombe have no intention of fighting with you at all.
　Hearing my words, Dirano shook his head from side to side for a while, and after pondering what was going on
I will not be allowed to sing this abominable song any time soon.
"...a song? .........?

　The story of Dilano was this.
　For the past few days, he said, a monstrous song had been coming from the direction of Gianacombe, night after night.
　The song contained an investigation that seemed to control death, and it was said that all of the ancient monster tribe felt intense fear.
　It is said that some of the monsters, unable to bear their fear, attacked GianaCombe.

"We don't want to be attacked...our song is to be cursed.
　At those words, Eel, who had accompanied him, twisted his head around.
'Wait a minute... that song-like thing was heard in Gianacombe as well, but we thought it was some kind of ancient monster race ritual or something, so we held back...'
　At Yale's words, this time Dilano twisted his head.
''Sole ha-certain ka?''
'Oh, I'm sure of it. I swear to the gods of Guiana.

　South as seen from the ancient monster tribe's settlement.
　North as seen from the frontier city of Guianacombe
　I knew that a mysterious song coming from that direction seemed to be the cause of the commotion, but the question was what that song was and who was singing it.

　The two of them have the following opinions in common
　The song could only be heard at night and was sung throughout the night.

　For now, would it be best to wait until the night to find out the source of that song?
　As I was discussing it with everyone on deck, Lil Pop, who had joined this conversation while on board the Demon Infantry, had his voice extension turned on.

"Then you will look for Lord Deanna after that, won't you?"

　And then he joined the conversation.
　The huge volume from the demonic infantry right next to me made everyone on deck cover their ears involuntarily.
　Hey, Lil Pop, you'll have to turn off the voice extension when it's not needed....

　And that's exactly when I thought, "Who is that?

"Who's that?　Who called me?
　Suddenly, a woman's voice echoed on the deck.
　At the same time, a magic circle unfolds and a transition gate (gate) appears.
''I'm busy preparing for the move, so please make it quick.
　Passing through the transition gate, a figure with a feminine voice appears, completely covering her entire body with a hooded cloak.

　And then...

　Huh?　You called me? .........this guy is not.......

'Yes, I'm Deanna. Tiana Tiana Diana. I'm the Great Magician of the Dead (Elder Rich).
　Then she looked around.
　
　For a moment, Deanna was checking out the mage ship from the deck.
...Isn't this ship ... the DDD, Master Dorn's DDD?
　Deanna confirms to me in a calm voice.
'Yeah, yeah. Yes, this ship is definitely the DDDD, and we're here to pick you up...
　And that's when I said that much.

'Hey! You're here!　It's me! I've been waiting like crazy to see when I'm going to meet my darling!
　
　And Deanna was twirling around on the spot, letting her voice rise in a sweetness that was unimaginable from the dignified, quiet tone she had been speaking in.

　After that, Deanna's story went on and on until she met Dorun and had three children, and then it finally came to an end.

　The words 'similar couple' popped into my mind.
　Beside me, Erdena had the same expression on her face as I did, and I think she was probably thinking of the same words.
