Mr. Rastiara, can you please level up?

Oh, yes.

As he was told, Rustyala leveled up Maria and Dia.

Since the monsters of higher rank were destroyed, they had accumulated more than enough experience.

The scary thing is that with less than half of the proper level, our wizards were overrunning the enemy.

''Now we have even more magic power. It looks like we'll be able to increase the number of flames even more.''

I'll be able to get more and more power out of this one.

As they grew even stronger, they said horrible things that made the monster feel sorry for them.

After repeated trial and error, the resonant magic that they had perfected turned their strength into something rock-solid.

''Dear, what do you want to name this resonance magic?''

Name?　Yes, it would be more convenient to have it. Hmm, shall we let Kanami decide?　It's like they're making all kinds of magic.

'Yes. Can you decide, Kanami-san?

I came back to myself, still dumbfounded when I was called out to him.

By the way, Rustyala still hasn't returned.

'Name ......, er, 'Aegis' is a good name, isn't it?　In my world, it means armor to protect someone.

'Good. This magic is designed to protect Kanami-san. --Should we call it the Resonant Magic 'Flame Guardian Flame (Aegis)'?

The name of the foul fire magic was decided upon and we resumed our search.

The 33rd layer has a structure with a lot of water air, such as rivers and shallows, and the types of enemies have changed to match the changes.

The number of hard mineral-based monsters has decreased, and the number of aquatic monsters has increased.

I light up my face.

If it's an aquatic monster, it should have a high resistance to fire magic.

I continue on my way, thinking that me and Rastiara's turn will come back, but--

Resonant magic, Aegis Flame Guardian Flame.

Resonant magic, Aegis Flame Guardian Flame.

--that wasn't true.

Deere's rays could easily penetrate even the monsters that were lurking in the river.

A little or a little bit of water is meaningless in front of the overwhelming amount of heat. It doesn't matter if it's aquatic or mineral, because it evaporates the moment it comes into contact with you.

Me and Rastiara are wary of the aquatic monsters, so we keep our swords drawn.

However, the sword will not be wielded.

The fight is over as we stand there with our swords at the ready.

Mo, the monster evaporates before it can get close: ......

'There's nothing to do, Kanami ....... No, when it comes down to it, it's important for me to escort you both ......, you know?

Rastiala's ”Hey? The meaning of

This, there's no reason for us to be here. I don't feel like a monster can get to this point by bypassing the Flame Guardian Flame (Aegis).

To be honest, Dia and Maria are enough for me.

With this, it wouldn't be any wonder if they were said to be parasites on the two of them.

But it wasn't possible for me and Rustyala to put it into words. I felt that if I admitted it, the pride and pride I had built up until now would be destroyed.

The two rearguards smiled with a calm expression on their faces.

''Because of Rastiara-san and the others, we are able to shoot magic without worry.

Those words are kind. Gentle, but--

'That's right. Lastiara and Kanami should just step backwards.

'Yes. It's something we like to do. Leave it to us, Kanami-san, and take your time.

...... It sounds as if you're indulging a no-good man who is pimping.

I can't hide my impatience and Rustyala and I can't hide our impatience.

But the reality is harsh. As long as we can't propose a battle strategy that surpasses the two of us''s resonance magic, Flame Guardian Flame (Aegis), we won't have a chance.

I've pulled out my sword and quietly put it back into its scabbard. It's very sad to repeat the process. I'm really, really sad that I can't play any role in the game, as I have more room and an increased percentage of game-like thinking.

We rely on the two rearguards and proceed through the 33rd layer.

''-- Resonance Magic, Flame Guardian Flame (Aegis)!

Resonant magic, Flame Guardian Flame!

Bits of fire flew all over the corridor, and the monsters evaporated the moment they entered the realm.

This is no longer a battle or anything else. It's just a slaughter - it's become work.

As I gathered up the magical stones that had fallen, I was reminded of the game's dungeon attack.

If the player becomes too strong, no matter what kind of enemy they're up against, they can overwhelm them just by holding down the decision button - that's the current state itself.

I walk with Maria and Dia in tow. That's all it takes to skip all the battles with monsters.

In the end, we make it to the 34th layer safely without seeing a single shadow of the enemy.

During that time, the only thing Rastiara and I did was pick up magic stones.

I'm not as much of an adolescent boy as Rastiara, but I'm also an adolescent boy who yearns for adventure. I formed my first party of four, and I was hoping in a corner of my mind that it would be a varied and fun fight from now on.

But the reality is grim. The only role left for us is to pick up things .......

Me and Rustyala dropping their eyes with a dark expression.

And on the way to the 35th layer from the 34th to the 35th layer, Maria spoke to us, who were in the midst of their heartbreak.

''I'm about to run out of MP. 'Connection' please, Kanami-san.

Oh, yes.

I will do as I am told and create a 'connection'. If I'm already doing everything Maria says, there's no doubt about it. There's no doubt about it: .......

I walked through the Connection with a tottering gait. Rustyala, who is on the verge of losing the meaning of his existence, follows suit.

And the blue sky that spreads beyond the door.

We're back on board the Living Legend.

We finished our first labyrinthine search and confirmed our results on the deck.

In just a few hours, he had advanced to nearly half of his goal, and also acquired a large amount of experience. They had successfully averaged out the levels, and no one had been hurt.

It was a perfect search.

Today's search was what I had hoped for in the past, ”A search like reaping rice”. I have nothing to complain about.

I have nothing to complain about, but...!

'Well then, thank you for your help. I'll get back to my chores.

I'm going to rest in my room ....... Maria rubs me the wrong way and I'm pretty tired.

After finishing their work, Maria and Dia disappear into the ship together.

Their rear view is filled with a sense of accomplishment, as if they had cleared a shooting game.

Then Rustyala and I are left behind on the deck.

My body trembles, probably due to the surplus of power I have from the incomplete combustion.

You will need to level up and recover from the ......?

The first thing that comes out of the opening is that Rustyala starts to confirm his location.

'Bo, I'm useful as a spotters too, and ......!

If they didn't put it into words, they were going to admit that they were useless.

'But Maria, you were able to search for them too!

'If you say so, then Dear can do sacred magic too!

For some reason, we were two people who started grinding away at each other where we stood.

That's how upset we were.

If it wasn't egotism, I was trying to lead everyone as a leader. Rastiara should have been aware that I was at least a sub-leader.

However, if I didn't, I wouldn't be able to stand as a leader and sub-leader.

It would become a piggyback party for girls smaller than me.

I want to avoid that.

I'm not complaining that Maria and Dia are strong. I'm not complaining that they are strong, but we can't let this happen.

Hence, we make a decision.

”--Yo, okay, let's train up!
