So, what can we do about it?

　Since we all had too much fun yesterday, we have to do a proper survey of the ruins today. But I have no idea what to do about it.

I wish there was some kind of spell that could breathe under water... or keep the water out.
'They could put a high wall around the ruins and suck out all the water...'

　Else suggests that, but how much do I have to suck it out, that is.

'Um...I just had an idea, but...'

　Cluelessly, Linse raises her hand to speak. Oh, unusual. She doesn't often express her opinion. She must have had an idea.

"What? Let me know if you have an idea.
'No, it's not an idea or anything, but... I'm just wondering if you should try skipping the visuals with Fuyao-san's 'Long Sense'...
...................

　...it's a matter of skill. d*mn it, why didn't I see it? Isn't that the dumbest place to be. I silently give Linse a thumbs up before activating 'Long Sense'.
　Skipping my vision into the sea, I proceed inside through the entrance of the ruins.

'Well? What did you find out?
"...it's dark and I don't know...
What are you doing?

　Else lunged at me and sent the "light" flying in a hurry. I thought the light ball would disappear once it dove under the sea, but that wasn't the case. Well, it's not a fire attribute.
　Eventually, the area around the flying visuals began to brighten. I moved my vision along with the light ball and proceeded down the stairs.
　After descending for a while, we came to a large hall. There was a tier with a magic circle painted in the center, and six platforms surrounded it. Each of the platforms had magic stones embedded in them, and the six attributes, red, blue, brown, green, yellow, and purple, except for the non-attribute, were shining.
　Other than that, there was nothing else, nothing unusual about it. There were no treasure chests or anything else, no inscriptions or anything like that. That's it?
　He returned to his vision and told Lean what he saw. The chief of the fairy tribe crossed his arms for a moment in thought, but eventually he opened his mouth.

'Probably a transporter formation, that is.'
The transporter team?
Maybe it's just that when you activate the six attributes, the central magic circle transports you to another location. Just like your Gate.

　Hmm. So it's a mobile transporter. Maybe it wasn't this watery in the past, and it was used so often. But with the passage of time, it was submerged and no one uses it anymore.

I'd like to get it up and running somehow, but... But there's no way to get there anyway, unless there's a way to get there. The only way to do that is to find a non-attribute magic that can breathe underwater...
"Lord.

　While Leanne was further pondering, Amber, who was being held up by Yumina, called out to her.

''What? Amber.
"I have an idea of one who can control all the waters and relieve the troubles of the Lord.



　Lean's magic drew a large magic circle on the ground near the rocky shore, away from the sandy beach.

'Normally, summoning magic can't summon a specific opponent, can it?
"I will mix the Lord's magic with my spiritual power. When you call out to them in that state, they will surely respond and respond to your call.

　Amber took Leanne's words in stride. Can you call me that way? Is it a backhanded thing?

''But calling the 'Gen-Emperor'........ I was surprised that that girl was just 'White Emperor', but there's no way that there's another one or anything else.''
Well, well, well, if you care about that sort of thing, Fuyu-dono, you'll lose, that I do.

　Yae soothed the still mumbling Lean and made her leave the magic circle.

It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for in a contract. It's not that they have a violent temper, but they are a bit of a strange bunch, so...''
You know, you keep saying "they" but there's more than one of them?
''What can I say, they're two Xuanzhi. Well, call them up and you'll find out.''

　Well, I guess that's just as well. Let's try it for now.
　I stand in front of the magic circle and concentrate the magic power of the dark attribute. A black fog began to drift in the center of the magic circle, and soon that fog became thicker and thicker. Then Amber, who was beside him, mixed her own magic power into the fog. To be exact, Amber's is said to be called spiritual power, but let's not worry about the details.

'O ruler of winter and water, of the north and the high mountains! Answer my voice. Respond to my request and reveal yourself here.

　From the fog that had filled the room, an enormous amount of magical power was suddenly born. No, I wonder if this is also called spiritual power. A chirpy magic power (spiritual power?) like the time of the amber. waves.
　When the fog cleared, there was a huge turtle. It was nearly four meters in size. It was a land tortoise. It has four legs properly. However, even though it was a turtle, it was more of a monster-like turtle. It looks like a monster that spews out jets from its shell and flies through the air, just like the ones you see in the movies. Unfortunately, though, this one didn't have fangs.
　And that monster was wrapped up in an even bigger black snake. This one was big too. Is it as big as an anaconda? Scales shining like black pearls and golden eyes. Those eyes turned towards me and Amber.

''Ah? It's not the White Emperor after all. Long time no see, how are you doing?
"Long time no see, Gen-Emperor.
"Hmm, I already said, 'Gen-chan' is fine.

　It's so light! What kind of snake is this? He is a guy who speaks very clearly. But his voice is thick. It's like a transs*xual....

"And what about you, brother?
"My Lord, Fuyao Mochizuki-sama.
"Lord?

　The turtle looked at me with a giggle. He turned his gaze towards me as if he were treading on the price. I imagined the voice of a stern old man or old man from his appearance, but surprisingly, what I heard was an even more feminine voice than the voice of the snake just now. I had the impression that it was a bit harsher.

''To think that such a person is the Lord.......you have fallen, White Emperor.''
"Say what you will. 'Whatever you say, my dear, but he will be your master soon.
"Nonsense!

　Ember passes off the turtle's challenge with a cool face. The turtle looks at me with angry eyes and the snake looks at me with curious eyes. It's kind of troublesome.

''Very well, Fuyu Yoru, you. We're going to test you to see if you're worthy of signing a contract with us.''
Okay, but what are you doing?
'Fight us. If you can stand in one piece until sundown, I will acknowledge your power and make a pact with you. But if you leave the magic circle, or faint, or are unable to attack us, there will be no deal.

　You don't say that if you beat him, I win. You think there's no way you can lose. From what I've heard from Amber, they're good at defending themselves, so they must be that confident.

''So you're hoping we can stand there until sunset?
Yeah. Yes, you may run away all you want. "if you can keep running until sundown.

　The turtle returns that with a ridiculous sneer. Ah, I'm a little pissed off.
　The size of the magic circle is about 20 meters in diameter. It's not too big to keep running away. It's about noon now, so it's about six to seven hours before sunset. There will be a limit to how far they can keep running.
　Well, I guess that's what they're trying to do. Unfortunately, that's not going to happen.

Okay. You know what to do.
And, Fuyao-san, are you okay?

　Yumina looks up at me with a worried voice, perhaps because she's worried. That's sweet. I stroke that golden head to reassure her. There's nothing to worry about.

It's going to be okay. Well, it's going to be all right.

　After saying that, he entered the magic circle. The turtle was still laughing, but well, you can do whatever you want.

''You're surprisingly calm.
"I'll only praise your courage. Here we go!

　Like a turtle announcing the start of a fight, gogaaaaaah! He roars. I knew it was a monster, this guy.
　Well, the battle is a preemptive one.

"Slip.
"'Whew!

　Boom! The snake and the tortoise fall over with a ground shaking. That's a huge body, I think it's pretty damaging.
　While the effects of the slip are taking effect, I take a bullet from the waist pouch at my waist and begin to cast a spell on it.

'Enchantment: slip,'

　As it is, he activates another magic and applies a trick to the bullets.

"Begin programmed.
Activation condition: When the slip effect disappears/
Activation Spell: Slip
Condition: Surgeon's release order/.
Program End

　Okay. Now the work is done in style, and the finishing touches are done.

Yeah!

　The created bullet is shot into the ground under the turtle's feet as it tries to stand up.

''Ugyou?''

　Thud! The tortoise tumbled over with another earth shaking. Every time the turtle tried to stand up, the sound of it rang out grandly and the ground around it shook around.

''Are you........a demon?''

　Leanne turns her zit eyes to me as if she is dumbfounded. At his feet, Amber was rolling around on the ground laughing. It seems to have gotten to the point. Even Paula is rolling around on her stomach. How much are you really "programmed"..... This is the culmination of 200 years of work.

'When the effect of a slip wears off, another slip is triggered as a switch. When that slip wears off, another slip is triggered... it's not a permanent loop. Normally, the magic would run out immediately and that would be the end of it, right?

　I actually got the idea yesterday when I saw Paula looping in the waves, and it worked out pretty well. The recovery rate of the magic power is higher than the consumption rate, so there's nothing wrong with that.

''Now, shall we wait here until sunset? As I recall, you brought your lunch, Linse.
Oh, yes. I have it with me, but...

　Do you think Linse is a good choice? I look at the "Gen-Emperor" who continues to fall down with a look of "I'm not breaking any rules, right? I'm not breaking any rules, okay?

How pathetic.... that is...
''I've seen a lot of things like that in Fuyao Yoru before, so it's a bit late for that now, but I think you should consider the other person a bit more. ........Read the air.

　It's kind of a bad reputation. But a game is a game, and I haven't broken any rules, and if I can win safely, that's the best thing I can do.

''Ughhhh!''
　Boom!

　I spread out my lunch and munch on Claire's special sandwich. Yes, it's delicious. The ham and cheese is the best.

''Phew!''
　Thud!

　The vegetable salad over here is delicious too. The dressing is also excellent.

"'Buggyu!
　ZTEEN!

It's annoying how the ground shakes and shakes all the time.
" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "

　Oh, yeah?
