Mr. Alpha thinks that dreaming is a blessing, but....
　But we're not okay with that.
　The conversation is completely parallel, and it can't be resolved peacefully when it gets to this point.

　Which is the right thing to do?
　We'll have to settle this with force.

'Alpha, you said you would wait in my castle. Was there ever a castle in Kagne?
Let's get a better view of the city first, see if we can get a better view of the city.

　He and Iris went to the entrance of the city.
　There was a watchtower set up to guard against demons and bandits.

　We jumped onto the roof further up from the watchtower.

"Hey, hey. What are you guys doing?

　The gendarme at the watchtower notices us and asks us in confusion.
　To that, Iris returns with a smile.

'Don't mind me. We just need a quick break.'

　Is there a more sane excuse?
　I looked around the city while sweating profusely.
　The visibility is quite poor due to the fog, but I can still see what I can see.

　A tower can be seen in the center of the city.
　It's not very wide, but it's quite tall.
　In any case, it is penetrating the clouds.

　With something like that, I would have noticed it, no matter how much fog there was...
　That's it.
　Maybe it was cleverly hidden by Alpha's power.

　The fact that he lifted it means that he welcomes us.
　It's probably an indication that they want to settle the matter.

Let's go, Rain-sama.
Yeah.

　Mr. Alpha must have had a lot of resolve and caused this incident.
　However, the resolve is not lost here either.
　I can clearly assure you that this is wrong........
　So we beat it head on.

　Not long after, we reached the tower.
　It must have originally been a park.
　The tower looms unnaturally in the midst of the lush nature.

　There are no guards.
　There were no guards.
　It was probably Alpha's way of saying that he was welcome to come in at any time.

　However, we are not good-natured enough to believe that completely.
　I'm sure Alpha has already identified me as an enemy.
　It's a certainty that they will interfere in some way, so it's best to proceed with caution.

''At a time like this, the absence of Kanade-san and the others is quite painful.
I think I'll be fine.
What's the...?
'Even if you're dreaming now, you'll wake up. I believe that.
You believe in your people, don't you?
Of course.

　I can't say that there is anything at all that makes me uneasy...
　But it's in times like these.
　I want to rely on my friends and trust them.

'That's lovely. I'm a little jealous of you and your companions who have that kind of relationship.
A compliment?
Of course.
"Well thank you?
Yeah, you're welcome.

　Now we step into the tower and....

Yeah.
What's going on?
As for the rest of what you just said I believe in Iris as well.
What?
I know we've fought before but now I trust you as a dependable ally.
....
'I really want to say mate, but that's not yet agreed to by Iris and... what's up with that?　With a "plop,

　He had an interesting look on his face that I had never seen before.
　Nope.
　Would it be rude to call it interesting?

　When I was seriously thinking about such things, Iris chuckles a small smile with a chuckle.

''Hmph.......really, Rain-sama is already.......''
Hey, what's going on?
No. It's nothing.
That being said...

　It looks like everything.

I guess that means Lady Rain is Lady Rain.
I don't know what the hell that means.
That's all right. Now let's go.

　Withdrawing my bewildered hand, Iris opened the door to the tower, looking somewhat amused.
　I don't have the faintest feeling that I'm going to settle with Alpha-san from now on.

　Well let's not think too much about it.

''Rain-sama,''
Yeah.

　After changing my mind, I stepped into the tower with Iris.

　The tower is a very simple structure.
　It's about twenty meters in length and width, and it's probably about five meters high.

　At the end of the room, you can see a staircase leading to the upper level.
　Other than that, there's nothing special about it.

'It's a simple room, isn't it?'
Only, that's why I doubt there's any kind of trap.

　I'd like to tame the rats and let them search the room, but....
　I'm afraid I can't see any sign of the little animals.

Miss Lane. Leave this to me.
What are you going to do?
It's easy.

　Iris smiled a good smile and said

Come on. Otherworldly fire.

　Suddenly the whole room burns down.

"Iris!
Apparently, there's no traps.
What the hell are you doing all of a sudden...?
We don't want to go through all that trouble, do we?　Then they burned the room down as fast as they could.
....

　Tania says she'll burn the place down if she has to, but...
　I didn't think there was a girl who would run it.

　Maybe Iris is actually a good match for Tania.

Don't tell me you're going to burn it down every time you go upstairs?
Yeah, that's the plan, sir?
Aren't you tired?
That's not a problem. There's no limit to my summoning magic, and my magic mileage is very efficient.
I see. It's up to you.

　I decided to give up my rebuttal and let it happen.

'But...'

　Iris's eyes sharpened and she shifted her gaze to the stairs.
　With that, I pulled out my camouflage.

'It looks like we have a visitor.'
Yeah, I know.

　The ones that came down the stairs were countless demons.
