The voice is Tania.
　She unfolds her dragon wings and unleashes a deadly dragon breath.

　The target isn't Iris.
　It was Iris who cast the spell.

　The magic that tried to bite me is swallowed up by Tania's dragon breath.
　You can't resist the overwhelming rush of light, and all of Iris's magic is gone.

''Phew.''

　Thank God.
　That was a close call.
　Thanks to Tania for the help.

　But I think we were out of range...?

　I looked at Tania in question....

Hmm.

　Nina was with her.
　She was holding the kettle with Tina under her arm, while holding hands with Tania.
　They must have approached with the instantaneous transference ability that the divine race possessed.
　Nina had also received Suzu's special training lightly, so she had become good at such coordination.

　I mean, can't I see Kanade?

'Unyaah!

　Kanade screams from the sky.
　Before I knew it, she seems to have decided to make an oversized jump and approaches Iris as she falls.

''Oh dear, if you do that.......hmmm, good target. Come. Fire of the Otherworld.''

　Flames flooded from Iris' hand.
　It turned into a disastrous jet-black color and raced like a beast.

　Kanade, who is in the sky, has no way to avoid it.
　He can only fall prey to Iris' flames as it is.

　.........and Iris would have thought.

''Nyan!''
What?

　Just before the flames landed....
　Kanade kicked him in the air.
　The recoil caused his body to slide sideways to avoid the flames.

　It's a move that Suzu showed him.
　It's an absurd technique of kicking in the air, but.....
　Kanade had taken over.

　However, the success rate didn't seem to be that high, though he said it was about 30%.

''Unyannya!

　The canade spins around and around.
　It fell like a meteorite....
　I'm going to crash into Iris!

d*mn!

　Falling speed + the power of the cat spirit race.
　As expected, this was irresistible, and Iris's face was twisted.

　However, even so, she didn't seem to have received any major damage.
　Rather, would it be more accurate to say that he was surprised by the unexpected behavior?

　Iris quickly regained her composure and used her usual cool face to work her magic.

'Come. Otherworldly fire. Come. An ice bullet of sorrow. Come on. Annihilation thunderbolt.
Uh-oh!

　Three spells were unleashed one after another, and Kanade panicked.
　A storm of violence loomed over Kanade with no place to escape.

''Fuuuuuu....''

　Kanade took a deep breath and calmed his disturbed concentration.
　Then he put all his strength into his body.

''Nyah!''

　Intercept the oncoming fire with your fists!
　The fist pressure drowned out the roaring flames.

　Continuing, he cleaved the ice bullet with his foot.
　Released like a spear, Kanade's kick pierced the ice bullet and shattered it to pieces.

　But that's the limit.
　Using both hands and feet, there was no way to prevent the third magic.

　But there's no expression of impatience on Kanade's face.
　Is he hiding his back hand?
　No, it's not.

　It's just that...

"Dragoon Howling!

　Tania's magic exploded just in time, almost grazing Kanade.
　A shockwave that mimics a dragon's roar collides with Iris' magic, offsetting it.

　Kanade has friends that he can rely on.
　I'm sure his friends will take care of it.
　It's because he thought that, he didn't do anything rushed.

'Oh dear.'

　Although the attack was unsuccessful, Iris's expression remains the same.
　She still has a spare smile on her face.

''You can do it. As expected of the strongest species like me.
Hmmm, we're strong.
I mean, you've never been good at this. I've never seen or heard of you using four different types of magic at once.

Hmmm ... what kind of a magic trick is that?
Do you want me to tell you?
For future reference.
Well, let me tell you something.
Huh?　You're going to tell me?

　Tania gets a strange look on her face at Iris' honest words.
　Kanade next to her also makes a quizzical expression.

''Nya ... it's suspicious that you're teaching me honestly. Are you up to something?''
No, I don't think so.
"Shit. I don't normally show my hand!
That's normal.

　''But...'' after a pause, Iris continued her story.

''What if there is such a difference in power that there is no warning?　Then there's nothing wrong with exposing your hand, right?　Rather, it's an appropriate handicap, isn't it?　
It's in bad taste.
Hmm, I don't know why I've grown up with this kind of personality.

　Iris laughs while accepting even my words as if she is enjoying them.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one who has the same magical power as the spirit race, but that doesn't mean that you'll be able to surpass the spirit race, at least not by much. It's just a little lower than that, right?　So you can't use more than one magic at a time.
But you actually used to use it.

　Iris responds to Kanade's plausible argument with a laugh.

'That wasn't magic.
"Huh?
What are you talking about?　If that wasn't magic, then what was it?

　Tania says as she bites down.

'Excuse me. I'm sorry to have to say that. It's not that I don't like it, but it's a different kind of magic. The one I use is 'summoning magic'.
It's...

　Does this mean anything to you?
　Tania's face stiffens.

''I don't create flames, I summon flames... that's the summoning magic I use. Any kind of thing can be summoned to this place. And the characteristic of this summoning magic.......is that it can be used endlessly.
Wha...?
The summoning magic I deal with is a very useful thing, you know?　There's no limit to how many you can summon at once. Also, there's no limit to what you can summon. Just like I summoned me, I summoned a large number of demons, and there is no limit to what I can summon,

　Iris laughs.

　I finally understand what that spare smile is.
　If what she just said was true, Iris could literally exercise the same power as magic without limit.
　All kinds of powers.
　No limit to one at a time.

　Does Iris have that kind of power...?
　So if that's the case....

Well I'll ask you again. Do you want to continue?
....
"We've had a light exchange, but I can't give you a definitive answer. I'm not the only one who hasn't given it his all, and it seems to be the same for you, but... giggle.

　Iris laughs innocently, like a child.
　.................A terrible smile that seems to push out the cruel side of a child.

''If you put everything out there.......who will really be able to stand to the end?　Master Rayne is confident that he will bring me down to earth?
I'm not gonna lie.

　I'm confident that I've become stronger after being trained by Suzu-san.
　I can say that the demon tribe that appeared before could handle it all by themselves.

　However, Iris is different.
　She's even more of a monster than I imagined.
　If I hadn't had Suz-san train me, I might not have been able to last a second.
　To be honest, I don't want to deal with it head on, but.......

But I can't leave now. There are innocent people behind me. I'm not going to let them get away with it.

　At that moment, Iris's smile disappeared.

''Innocent...?　You say some strange things.
Iris?
'I have sins. There are sins that cannot be wiped away, that cannot be forgotten, that cannot be atoned for. That's what makes us human beings so sinful.

　That said, Iris's face was filled with a bottomless hatred.
