62-62 "Pride"




 The voice is naturally filled with thoughts of incredulity. Wraith looks at Salamander, who is squirming around with the ladies, and feels indescribable.

 Raffy is a twinkle in her eye, like Raffy is a twinkle in her eye. The sight of her is enough to make me think about giving her some kind of cute doll next time.

 Lace and Seth looked at each other and cowered their shoulders.

''Don't! Don't touch me!
Speaking of which, why did you change your voice?
That reminds me.

 His voice was muffled and dignified a moment ago, but now it has changed to a voice like a boy of about ten years old. However, the appearance has also changed, so you won't feel much different.

 If I had to say so, I would say that hearing the first person of 'me' in a boyish voice is somehow distracting. I'm not going to be able to deny that I'm standing tall.

 You can't imagine that this is the same entity that was releasing flames to get rid of the wraiths just a few minutes ago.

"Is that the true form?
'No way, you just used too much power! You're empty-headed!
Can I blow his brains out?

 Wraith asks with a smile, grabbing his tail with his forefinger and thumb. If it was a pompous attitude that matched the dignity of his voice, but when he sounded like a boy, he couldn't help but be annoyed when he was condescending.

 The upside-down salamander was swaying from side to side, struggling to get out.

'Poor little Ray,'

 It was Lurimes who lowered her eyebrows and saved the salamander from the Wraith's clutches.
 Any further attacks on Salamander, who now looks like a small lizard, will hurt her conscience. Cute is justice.

 Lurimes gently wrapped her hands around the salamander and smiled like a saint.

'Do not pity me, mortal man, know your place!

 With a gabri, the salamander bit into Lurimes' fingers. But her saintly smile did not falter.

 Lurimes gently grabbed Salamander's torso with her right hand, and with her elbow bent, she slowly moved backwards.

''Alright, let's bust it out after all!
Let's calm down!

 Sylvia manages to stop Lurimes from entering into a full-throttle throwing stance with a smile on her face, but Sylvia manages to stop her with a feather-light closure. Lurimes, whose lips are puckered, reluctantly drops her arms.

 Silvia, taking a breath of relief, receives the salamander. If Wraith and Lurimes have it, there's no telling when they'll let her say goodbye to the air.

  I'm not going to be able to get it right.

''Well, we're here to get the metal in this mountain but in order to do that we need to get you to break the spell you're putting on this mountain.
"No. I will not give in to the desires of men.
Well are you still saying that in this situation?

 In case you're wondering, it's the Wraiths who are hunting them down. It's a good idea to have a good time with them. It's not a good idea to do anything more with someone who can't resist.

Then what should we do?
Go home quietly!
If I could do that, I would have done it by now...

 As long as we're here for the request, we can't back down. You've come this far.
 Seth sighs, wondering what's going on.

'Um, Mr. Salamander. Can't you do something about it?
"Mmm...

 When Sylvia asked, Salamander choked up slightly.
 Despite the fact that the Wraiths had said an immediate denial when they asked. Wraiths, who had found a glimmer of light, decided to leave the situation as it was to Sylvia.

''We have something we really want to get. No, is that...?''

 Sylvia tilted her head at Coten and showed a slightly sad expression. Salamander's figure was reflected in her bright red eyes, which seemed to be moistening.
 The salamander groans genuflecting for a while, and then eventually sighs loudly.



 He curled his tail and said in a throwaway voice. Still, permission was granted.
 The power of the salamander that had enveloped the entire mountain was gone, and magic could be used at will. When Lurimes used his magic to try it out, he was able to create water without any problems.

''Thank you, Mr. Salamander!
"Don't do it, don't press your cheek!

 The salamander struggled in Sylvia's hands and escaped in a swoop. He landed on the ground with a flourish and disappeared quickly with a sooty smile.

''Look, don't do anything unnecessary.

 The sign of the salamander disappears completely, leaving behind the nail-biting words.

Why did Sylvia's words get through?''
'A difference in attitude? And Sylvia has a lot of honorifics.
Ah, that's a very likely reason for that pompous genie to be here...

 I don't feel like it's too much to ask for respect from someone who has been laying bare their killing intent, though. Anyway, now we can finally achieve our goal.

 The Wraiths breathed a sigh of relief and began to search for the light silver.



 *****



Wow, I didn't know this place existed.

 A cavernous hole that is gaping open like a hole in a wall. Looking at the dimly lit path, Lurimes creates a ball of light. The fluffy ball of light drifts through the air and precedes the darkness.

I wish it was here.

 It's been more than an hour since I started looking for the light silver. However, there is no sign of him being found at all. Since the fatigue is starting to reach its peak by now, I really want to find out as soon as possible.

''I think I'm going to fall down if I'm not careful.

 Rurimes and Raffy, following behind Wraith, walked carefully on the lumpy and uneven ground. It's easy to fall and it's not hard to imagine that even after a fall, the end result would be disastrous.

 The topic of chit-chat is exhausted, and the group proceeds in silence while checking the ground.

 Eventually, Rulimes, who was leading the way, caught a black shadow in his field of vision.

''Oh, could that be...''

 Expecting it to be light and silver, I let the light at hand advance toward the shadow. Then the shadow suddenly moved as if it hated the light.

 In a cave that still doesn't have the size of a shaded area, it will lightly illuminate a few meters in front of you. The shadow was exposed to the light and its identity was revealed.

''Ugh........''

 Seeing Solee, Sylvia and Seth let out a drawl.

 It had a black shiny body and countless legs that wriggled and wriggled. The antennae that twitched as if seeking prey gave them a sense of physiological disgust without being denied.

 Bugs. There are large numbers of insects in the unevenness of the walls and ground.

 Regardless of their strengths and weaknesses, few people would feel good about seeing a swarm of insects in front of them. As usual, the wraiths froze their expressions and went rigid.

 Only their legs jiggle backwards.

 However, there are people in this place who have a ridiculous dislike for insects regardless of their numbers in the first place.

''Noaaaaaah!
Hey, idiot, Master!

 The insects begin to move in unison in response to Lurimes' voice, which screams with all its might. The direction of travel is straight towards the Wraiths. Lurimes, who is in the lead, is the first to make contact.

 Wraith hurriedly tries to back away from Lurimes' hand, but.

'Stay away from me!

 The moment Rulimes let out a second scream with a look of heartfelt disgust. The swarm of insects that was about to touch her toes at any moment froze with a sound.

 The cold air that leaked out of Rulimes' body was unconsciously released with all its might. The walls and ceiling were frozen without mercy, and the breaths of the Wraiths turned white.

''Hii........''

 Lurimes retreated in a hurry with tears in the corners of her eyes. In doing so, she bumped into Wraith, who was in the halfway position trying to grab Lurimes' hand.

''Ah, wait...!

 The staggered Wraith went straight into a hefty buttock with a thud. An intense pain rushed through her buttocks and her throat tightened.

''Are you okay!

 Sylvia rushed over to Wraith, who was shaking and purring like a newborn fawn. Wraith tells her that she is safe with a hand gesture, and she puts all her strength into her legs to get up. That's when he finds something running across the ground.

''Liquid, or...?''

 The others noticed that Wraith had discovered something and saw the liquid running down the ground as well. They moved their gazes to see where it was coming from--

Oh.

 A black mineral that existed quietly in a depression in the ground.
 The mineral, which had been unnoticed by the army of insects, had been transformed into a blue-black liquid by the cold air released by Lurimes.

''This is........''
Light and silver, right?

 Seth and Wraith approach the mineral that appears to be luminescent silver, unconcerned with the frozen insects. The women are sickened by the insects and look behind them to see what's going on.

'What an odd find,'
'Well, it was definitely weird, but...'
Well, I finally found one. Let's get it out of there.

 After more than an hour of searching, we found it. Hard work pays off.

 Wraith takes out an empty bottle and dropper and collects a sufficient amount of luminescent silver. He put the lid on the bottle tightly and smiled with satisfaction.

'Here we go.'

 All we need to do now is to bring back the silver.

Okay, now that we've got the silver, let's get the hell out of here.
'Yes, it's the best thing to do!

 Chuckling at Rulimes' fierce agreement, the Wraiths left the volcano by way of transition.
