[Black Mage] is treated coldly in the adventurer industry anyway.
　If it was unfair treatment, there would be some who would stand up for justice, but unfortunately, in many cases, it's not unfair.
　The [Black Mage] is not suitable for the modern adventurer's system.
　In such a situation, Beulah didn't declare Reme as incompetent.

''Perhaps it's because I'm colder than the other three. If you were really just a best friend-favorite, would you have allowed me to leave the group even in the end.......?　It would be more natural to get rid of Alba. If it's true that your best friend is your top priority. But the leader is fair, so he didn't pick his team members because he didn't like them. If people like that approve of him, then he must not be as incompetent as the world makes him out to be.

　But,'' continued Beulah.

'If he was a [Black Mage] worthy of the fourth rank, I don't know why he was hiding his abilities. It's not like he was selling his soul to a demon and practicing black magic or the ancient evil laws.

　Beulah was half-smiling, as if she was aware of the ridiculousness of what she was saying.
　I twisted my expression not in dismay, but at being half right, but Béla didn't seem to notice that.
　I didn't sell my soul. I was trained and trained.

'What a joke. If that were the case, you'd be a threat to your country before you were an adventurer. See, the famous predecessor here?　As I recall, you also disappeared after being accused of being a black magician. It's a good idea to be able to use black magic, but you wouldn't choose an adventurer, a job that carries the risk of exposing your abilities. ........I wouldn't want to be in a popular business if I could.

　Bera seems to be an adventurer by earning money, not out of admiration.
　Like me, she might have become an [Ice Hero] because she said something that would make the strange spirits like her at the [Shrine of the Spirit].

''Unless it's black magic, you don't have anything to keep secret, so why not just say it? And that's why a rookie who doesn't know anything would think that...''

　I couldn't tell her that it was black magic and that I was keeping it a secret.
　Beulah gave me a probing look for a moment, but when I didn't say anything, she quickly pulled back.

''But then again, will this place be used for broadcasting?

　They rarely broadcast live. Basically, the station buys the footage and broadcasts it with edits that might be received by the audience. Conversations that are irrelevant to this strategy would also be cut.
　Some people might be concerned about the conversation to the banished [Black Mage], but Beulah is not a naysayer, and they think of it as what it was in regards to his abilities.
　It would be an uninteresting conversation from a TV perspective.

'If you don't make all the cuts or something like that I'd like to be recognized as a member of the Fenix Party as soon as possible.

　Replenishing the members of the Fenix Party became the talk of the world.
　The recruiting process was immediately discontinued because Beulah, the special [brave] who made a contract with a spirit, was found, but there are still many who are not convinced. Every day, adventurers who say they are the one to do this are calling out to someone.

''Didn't I say these five would capture the Demon King's Castle?''

But you still have to show your worth. It seems to be a meritocracy here.

　That's where their story ends.
　Because the three of us have managed to recover.

"Oh shit. I feel like I'm hungover.

'Well I feel sorry for myself. Fenix, Beulah, I'm sorry.

' ... this is a nightmare. Um, let's edit our abominations to be nice and short, and push Beulah's ice-bombing to the front. Honestly, I don't want to be seen, but [Dream Demon] doesn't come around very often, so I think it'll get some attention.

''But I wonder if senior Lark could use it on TV earlier?　And.

A rare demon, a struggling party of heroes, but a promising new member to save the day - that's the way to go. Where we're embarrassed, TV will follow us.

　Three people used a magic body (avatar) repair potion.
　It is a one-time consumable item that temporarily replenishes the damaged magic power. The magic power replenished by this item is not a restorative medicine, as it will be drained at regular intervals in addition to damage.
　Each player can only use it once in a single attack. However, if you are attacking two or more levels in a row, you can only use it once per level.
　In addition, if you get to the safe room, you can purchase a single potion for each player there.
　However, restorative medicines are not favored by adventurers because they are expensive and not popular with the audience.
　Still, it was necessary under the current circumstances.

''The Impregnable Demon King's Castle? This is that, because it's the 'setting' of the demon tribe's headquarters, and along with that, the worst thing about it is that it's all demons.

''It's true that there were some rare demons from the first layer. As expected, we won't be able to have all the races, but we might have the most famous ones.

I'm not going to be able to get my hands on any of them. I usually don't think you shouldn't take them out, but when you get to the Demon King's Castle, it might be possible to do a lap around the castle. We have to divide that area as the first party to attack.

　If you are a newcomer to the game, you can plan your own strategy, but for Fenixes, it's a straight-up attack. If you lose once, you can try again from the first layer, but I have no intention of losing.

"The problem is that if this layer is full of [Dream Demons], the three of us will be useless.

Arrow ... fires an arrow. Well, that is, if you can attack from outside the area of effect of the Enchantment.

I'm going to use my own magic sword. I'm not going to be able to do anything if the clutter in this space continues. This is the space and arrangement you want to break up a breakthrough party.

　Listening to the three of them, Fenix makes a decision.

'Me and Beulah are ahead of you.'

Oh, well, I'll take the lead then. Mr. Fenix, please instruct me.

　Perhaps her confidence was boosted by her successful magic at the Demon King's Castle as well, Beulah's voice had a heartfelt tension to it.

''Then I'll leave it to you.''

Yes, sir.

　She proceeded to avoid the ice pillar as she advanced.
　Most of the trapped [Dream Demons] have exited from the damage of the ice magic, and those that haven't will do so soon.
　Blood does not flow in the magical body (avatar). Instead, magic power flows. There is no pain. But you can feel a shock. This is a strange sensation, but you'll soon get used to it.
　Although the magical body (avatar) doesn't need to breathe, it seems that if you don't replicate the functions necessary to live essentially, even pseudo-actually, there will be problems when you return to your body, so it breathes in air and then breathes out as it is.
　When she found the door to the next space, which was hidden by a banner - she was crestfallen.

'What's wrong?'

　I asked, but I didn't get an answer.
　But I would soon understand what Béla was trying to say.　

'No, you can't~. Just because you're on ice doesn't mean you can't look the other way when you're near an enemy that hasn't left.'

　One of the icy ones, a pink-haired girl, shattered the icicle and escaped, and with a moment's notice, her arm pierced Beulah's chest.
　Particles of magic power glittered and danced, and Beulah's body, which was damaged to a lethal level, collapsed.

''Ah........''

　Béla looked at me. I guess I was about to say I was sorry. Halfway through, she disappeared completely.
　Exit.
　I'm not going to die, but I can't come back for this fifth level of attack.
　With the last of her strength, Béla was pulling the hanging curtain as hard as she could and removing it.
　A falling curtain, a door to be exposed.
　The door had a dungeon crest painted on it, a dungeon crest that was only painted on the one that led to the safe room between the levels.
　In other words, this place was a floor boss battle tier right after entering.
　There was a floor boss hiding inside the [Dream Demon].
　And it was probably a pink-haired girl.
　She is careless, and even though she is an inexperienced rookie, she has the skill to dismiss 【Brave Girl】 with a single blow.
　She takes a deep breath. Then the scattered Beulah's magic power was swallowed into her mouth.

　--Absorption (Drain) can be done by non-humans?　Then that's how they broke through the icicle, too.

　The other [Dream Demons] who hadn't left yet also crushed the ice pillar one after another and came out.
　Although their numbers have decreased considerably to seven, it's troublesome to be able to 'charm' their friends again.

'I was a bit surprised, but as expected, it looks like you had to lower your magic power to freeze everyone that fast.

'I didn't know I was going to be fighting a floor boss all of a sudden.

You're the one who takes down the floor boss in one blow, right?　If the Ice Child hadn't done anything, you would have used your fire. Then your pretentious ways would have failed.

Then I would have had to burn you to the ground with a single blow.

She's not a pretty girl.

"[Brave men] must be cool.

I hate you.

"I like you. I've devised a plan for victory and dismissed a difficult enemy with the least amount of effort. You've cut down the strength of everyone but the brave ones. You're a really good monster.

You guys are all straightforward for a lot of things.

"That's the kind of person people admire.

　The holy sword - an ordinary sword turned into a holy sword due to being inhabited by a spirit - is drawn from its sheath.　
　If this is a floor boss fight, there's no reason to worry about the wear and tear on my companions.

''Oh, shit!''

　Alba didn't extend the magic sword and wielded it as a mere sword. The [Dream Demon] who was trying to approach drew back significantly. Lark played the enemy with his shield, and Lily responded with a machete instead of a bow.
　With their numbers greatly reduced, they were able to endure some of the 'fascination'.
　They would know what they had to do, too.

''There is no defeat in our battle.''

　The girl's face twitched as she saw the magic erupting from the sword.
　The will to fight doesn't go away.
　--Excellent.

''But I'm down one. Don't think you can reach the Demon King Sama.'

"[Fiery hero] Fenix, the one who will defeat you and move on.

...the Devil in Love] Citry I hate you so much.

　With the holy sword clad in a powerful flame in my hand, I pushed forward to the Citry.
　On that day, we attacked the fifth layer.
　As soon as possible, we decided to proceed to the sixth layer.
