”Ohh? It's Hihiirogane I didn't know it could be found in a place like this Truly an excellent ore… Kukuku”

”Just what did you mine… Ah, I found some weird clay…”

”Oh, isn't this orichalcum? You're quite lucky hahaha!!”

”Ha!?”

(TN: 風呂釜[furugama] oyu they look like PCs that heat up your bathwater, basically)

”Iyaa… I did it, I did it, I can't stop laughing… Hahaha!”

”Your race hasn't changed or anything like that, right? This is orichalcu!?”

(TN: race as in ethnic race, I guess it was suppose to be a pun or set)

”With this… With this, I will take the rice back Just wait! Then, s-sake, soy sauce, miso, mirin… sake I will take them all back hahahaha!!”

”Isn't your tension a bit too high!? And why did you say sake twice!? Is it that important!?”

It was incredibly important for this bibulous japanese uncle

The pickaxe striking against the volcanic rock h the bedrock Hisspeed and accuracy are both beyond belief Without a doubt, he would be able to earn a living working as a miner In addition, he will clearly be the top breadwinner in this trip

Nevertheless, despite originally co to rescue her, they seeeon Casually falling froo is ieons that seek to consuh they don't possess an ego of their own, as they grow, they set up their traps constructing so akin to a complex system

To this day, the reason behind this has not been identified and reeons And yet, it's accepted as so natural in this world Most people aren't particularly interested in such topics, with the exception of stubborn scholars that question the cause and effect of every phenomenon

”In any case, that desert-like place looks like a volcano now”

”It was ht it would be It used to be smaller…”

The aftereffects between the virtual world and the real world were different

Previously, the Wor around in that place wereinstantly incinerated by the excessive heat of his eration

It was a habit froic as soon as he found a large number of eneic, he only needed to have enough ic formula itself, just what kind of principle does it use? It's clearly different froerous ic, but it was unexpected that it had such power……”

【Scorching Purgatory Flaic foric formula, and the desired phenoic circle was coic would reproduce and fire the forh-density ic formula is constructed from 0s and 1s, and for humans to be able to use it, they would need to process information at the speed of a supercomputer, which is impossible for the human brain If that was the case, then it was just a ic forht it would be an excellent idea to use it as shells, thus giving birth to a nasty annihilation ic bullet, hprograet, while absorbing the s Finally, said mana, which possesses enorible physical phenoes to process the inforic formula by that means, there's no need to force the hue annihilation ic Acadele person has to be able to process the ic formula in their heads, but in the first place, it's practically ih speed and convert it into a physical pheno humans can endure

Even if it were possible to read the for to their death before they could even finish casting the spell to ascertain its power

In his foraa hi that could've ended with hi the console, the technology of the game was odd It accurately simulated the laws of physics to their ital space

Who created the ram? A model of this world, even to the smallest details of the environment, such as the laws of physics and quantu out of place

Is such a thing really possible? That gareat invention that could fundarettable but it's not so I can confir to this world, he noticed an abnorame he used to enjoy so h-speed processing coinally an information control system developed by the Department of Defense for the sake of national protection

It was created to keep classified information of individuals and the country safe fro to access froetary issues, the project was eventually shut down and sold to a private company And, some time later, said company announced its new MMORPG, 'Sword and Sorcery'

Although it had a simple name, one was able to access and freely adventure a vast virtual world through a readily available personal console, which was, in addition,console along with the ga its massification But, on the other hand one could say that there was an entirely different intention, as if the ga to hide its own bizarreness

[TN: This paragraph was a bit confusing to translate especially because the word 筐体[kyotai], which literallyand I only found pictures of those old arcade led it, but I assua about this now? This is weird… it's as if the world itself was being controlled so there's no feeling on incongruity coame… no way, hey…)

Zeros started to feel a sense of disco he never felt in his forradually beco, as if his consciousness was buried in his thoughts He's once again conscious of his former world's abnormal reality

”…san… Zeros-san!”

”Ah! W-What happened!?”

”That'sto leave this place, but you suddenly started to think about so happen?”

Returning to his senses, there's a world of molten rocks He suddenly re Well, we're done o back up soon”

”That's perfect, but I'ht?”

”A burden? Why?”

”Because… I' down dejectedly, Zeros aardly scratches his head If this is the deepest layer, the nuerous for her to keep advancing with her current ability

As he was thinking, he casually glances at the collapsed ceiling where he could see the adjacent layer

”It's going to be easier froh there, we'll be fine”

”Eh? But, it's too high…”

The place Zeros is pointing at, is the collapsed ceiling where the exposed adjacent layer is Which ?”

”Is there any other way?”

”B-But, I fell off a precipice just now and…”

”You'll be fine, I'll hold on to you tightly Co, we'll be there in a jiffy, alright?”

She seee Her facialher disapproval of flying with Zeros' flight ic

”You don't want to even if your coet here? Aside from here, there are monsters on every layer, you know?”

”B-But… it's too high…”

”If you stay still, we'll be there in a second Only if you stay still…”

Flight ic is a kind of spell that defies the laws of physics It works by creating a repulsion field with the user's own enerated by taking in the s Because of that, the ned to only support the weight of the user, so if the weight is further increased, the burden is coet there, I still don't have the strength to beat the monsters there!”

”Just for this one time, I'll lend you one of my prized weapons You'll one-hit all thewith his coic weapon Most small-fries should receive a burial with only one hit from this weapon It had such a destructive power that he decided to keep it for himself

For him, it's just another weapon, but for Christine, it should hold quite the power

”Can I choose…”

”You can't But well, while we're … Ahhh, I really hope they're not dead already”

”Uuu…”

She hasn't made a decision yet, and she see at the ceiling And given that it would be useless to spendin that place, Zeros decides to forcefully hold her

”Hyaaaahh!!”

”〖Wings of the Black Bird〗”

He ignores her screah in the air… at a treh the air, a scream echoes in the vast space below theet ho appliances

The pitiful Christine was just dragged into it She would later recall, ”The sky is scary… I don't want to fly anyhts It's even more terrible because he was completely oblivious to it

The two people descend on the ground after reaching the upper floor using flight ic Most of the monsters they encounter in the way are kicked around by Zeros while Christine follows behind hih battle prowess, and indeed she eak

They are currently resting on a narrow space in a rocky area Fortunately, Zeros always keeps firewood in his inventory, so he lights up a campfire and prepares for a small late lunch break

”Fuic, Christine-san?”

In contrast to Zeros, who just finished starting the fire, she reluctantly starts talking while lying face down

”I… can't use ic It seeic for like that”

”I see If you could use ic, would you like to learn?”

”I'd like to learn if I could, but it's iic said that”

”This is?”

”I dare say, ic, perchance?”

”But… I don't have the aptitude…”

”Right noe're are practically at the gates of Hades, you won't lose anything trying it”

”Uuu… That ht be true Then, I will try”

As she says that, she pours ic formula, which is then etched into her mind After the process was done, she ht, illuminate my way Torch〗”

The moment she finishes her chant, a small flame flickers on the top of her palm Christine opens her eyes wide in astonishish like when I used the spells I've been taught before!”

”That's excellent Ah, please return the scroll This h”

”I… was able to use ic…”

”My student had the saic as closer to the one of the past”

Christine, who coic However, now that she's able to cast h she's not aware of that fact yet…

”Uht?”

”No, this is soood if you like it, but we have to do sohts will do…iyaa, seriously…”

The knights will surely co for Christine But they will be bothered if she's injured when she joins the it was better to have as feorries as possible, as Christine was trying to learn several spells in a hurry

”I ondering, what kind ofabout to Zeros, as grilling rance wafts in the air
