"... whoa. I'm glad I don't have a chance."

　Brasso breathes relief as he watched the battle end in an instant.
　The air raid by fluorocarbons, which had been feared to have taken place, did not aim at the head, but still killed Harpy with a cut through the chest.
　The blow with the hook and nail that Seto wielded easily wiped Harpy's head as if it were breaking a raw egg, and Harpy, who Ray aimed at with his spear, was also pierced through his head and shattered above his neck by the impact.
　Brasso was breathing with relief, but the spear held in his arm remained pointed at the mouth of the cave.His eyes were carefully turned to the entrance of the cave entrance.
　Fluorocarbons, after defeating Harpy with one blow, moved immediately from the entrance to an invisible place.Seto, too, had kicked the ground with the reaction after the blow which wiped Harpy's head out.

"I don't think you've noticed,"

　After holding his breath for several tens of seconds and observing the cave, Ray also breathes a sigh of relief.
　Fluorocarbons send hand signals to come here from the cave's entrance where they are overshadowed.

"Do you want to go?"
"Yes,"

　Ray and Blaso look at each other and head to where Fluorocarbons are.

"And yet, after Ray's blow, Harpy whispered a little..."
"Yes, the timing is a little off.Do you think you heard it inside?"

　The wilderness is what we call a "wilderness," and as we run swiftly across the bare, grassless land, we ask Blasso in a low voice, but he shakes his head slightly.

"I think the voice meant something like, "What's wrong with you, because your friends were acting strangely.Then, since it was the voice of a fellow near you, you could not hear the interior of the cave.unless Harpy was right in the cave."
"I hope so,"

　While we were talking like that, we arrived at the shadow of the cave.Fluorocarbons greeted the two with proud smiles.

"Well, if you leave it to me, it's like this.It was a quick blow, wasn't it?"
"...I think I took it off for my head."
"Oh!? That blow was aimed at the neck from the start, not at the hard head."

　With Fluorocarbons yelling sideways, Harpy and Seto, who have been cut to the middle of their bodies so that the smell of blood won't spread any more, are stored in Mistilling.
　The two of them, who are still arguing with each other, are kept a little further away, and Harpy, whose head was also lost by a single blow of throwing, is stored here.

"The spear... Is it no use?"

　He looked for a spear that had crushed Harpy's head, but there was no sign of it lying about it, or of it sticking into the outside of the cave or into a tree.He decided that he could hardly kill Harpy and flew somewhere, so he gave up collecting it.
　for, as I have said to Brasso, it was originally a spear stolen from a thief, and it was a cheap thing.In terms of the quality of spears, they are barely ordinary quality.Arms dealers and blacksmiths with a little harsh eyes could be regarded as inferior goods.

"What's the matter?"

　Fluorocarbons come to Ray, who has come back with a sigh, and asks if the quarrel has finally been settled.If you see a blasso with a gloomy face next to him, you can see at a glance who won by arguing.

"No, nothing.I wondered if I could recover the spear I threw at Harpy, but it turned out to be impossible."He muttered, and shook his head as he watched Seto, who had been on guard in the night sky, come down.

"Well, more than that.if you put away your watch."

　Fluorocarbon glances toward the entrance of the cave.
　Following his gaze, Ray nods small, too.Next to Fluorocarbons, Brasso, who has recovered from the shock of losing in an argument, is also holding his favorite hammer, the earth shaking hammer.Next to Ray, Sett, who had landed with wings flapping with little noise, glanced sharply at the cave so that he could move on at any time.

"... All right, then, Ray.Throw your master's magic into the cave.I will leave the power to you, but considering the recovery of the materials, you should avoid cave collapse as much as possible, because it is a low-paid request, and I want to moisten my pocket with materials, magical stones, and punitive sites."
"The reward will change the type of liquor you can drink."
`Hustle and bustle,'

　He muttered a little CFC and turned his eyes back to Ray.

"Not to mention caves, but to the power of magic.Pray that the harpies are large enough not to burn out, unless you know what the interior of the cave is."
"... well, surely there's nothing we can do about it unless we can find out what's going on inside."
"Ray doesn't have to take this drunkard's word seriously, either. Anyway, he just wants to put as much importance on making the whole Harpy as possible."
"Oh, there's no problem.If you're better prepared than that, I'll start at once."

　When they hear Ray's words nod and Seto also sings a little deep in his throat, he begins to chant a spell.

'Fire, thy power is mine.Burn the enemy with magic at will.Your characteristics are spread of fire and fire.Use my magical powers as a spring to increase the firepower.'

　At the same time, more than 10 fireballs created by magic appear in front of Death Size.
　Literally, the area around the cave at night suddenly becomes brighter as if 10 magical fireballs appeared in the way of Ray's fire attack.At the same time, the heat of the flame caused brightness and temperature to rise rapidly around.

"Hot! Hey Ray! I wonder if that's really okay!"

　10 fireballs that float around Ray's death size.Each of them is about the size of a human head and floats in the air as if it were swimming.

"Ten fireballs!"

　As soon as the spell is completed, the ten fireballs fly through the sky toward the entrance of the cave.Then, as if the fireball himself had a will, he went into the cave... before long the brightness disappeared from the front of the cave, and the temperature that had risen rapidly dropped in the autumn night breeze.

"I don't know how big the cave is, so maybe a little flame will come out of the entrance.You'd better get away from it for a moment."
"Oh, yes,"
"All right,"

　Fluorocarbons and Brasso ran back to the bushes nodding... the next moment.
　It's roaring!
　I hear an ear-shaking explosion.It's not just one or two, it's many in a row.The fireballs that entered the cave must have exploded in a chain.

"Kikikikikikikikikikikikikikikiko.

　Harpy's confused screams are heard when he is suddenly attacked in his sleep, but fortunately, Harpy does not reach the cave entrance where Ray is waiting.
　at the mouth of the cave where Ray had been waiting."Ray, up there!"

　Ray turns his eyes to the night sky at the warning from the bushes behind him.Next to it, Sett also looks up.
　In the night sky, lit by the flames overflowing from the cave, there was a figure of Harpy spreading the wings of a bird's wings.and it is not only the flames that flow from the mouth of the cave where Ray lives.The lights were illuminated by the other side of the cave, as well as by the other side of the cave.

"I see. There's only one cave entrance, isn't there?"

　muttering and waiting for the Harpies, who had determined that the criminal who killed their comrades was Ray, to dive at the same speed.

"Kikikikikikikikikikikiki"

　He was so delicate that he could not have compared to Seto, but he was still sharp at the tip, with his claws thrusting up enough force to injure the enemy...

"Huh!"

　As if such an attack had no meaning, it was a death-size attack.
　The blade, wielded through magic, cuts the body in a moment when it passes by Harpy, who is rapidly descending, and when it hits the ground, Harpy splashes the body into two parts: the upper body and the lower body, splashing blood and internal organs around the ground.

"Oh, my God!"

　Behind Ray, Fluorocarbons' sword point, which is pushed out screaming, penetrates Harpy's torso.
　Ray shakes his death size to blow off Harpy's blood on the blade and turns his eyes to the sky.where nearly twenty harpies were still flying, watching for a chance to attack them.

"... apparently it was near the other exit that many of Harpy slept in."

　Brasso, who came near Ray, murmured with a bitter expression, with a hammer of earth tremor on his shoulder.
　The head of the hammer was covered with blood and feathers that seemed to belong to Harpy, and it was obvious that it was after a battle like Fluorocarbons and Ray.

"Roll-roll-roll-roll!"

　Seto is also picking up Harpy from above, flapping his wings.

"You look quite relaxed there,"

　Blasso mutters while watching the set.The claws and the kuchibashi that are wielded by Seto do not give Harpy the space to avoid it, but destroy the blow of the claws with his claws to the Harpy who is about to attack him.

"But if things go on like this, they will be outnumbered.No, it's comfortable in a way if it's stuck in the sky."
"Ray?"
"I'm going to use a big magic trick.Please give me a little protection."

　Ray's words look up at the sky lit by flames burning inside the cave.

"... I see. Well, let's leave it to him."

　It was a skilled adventurer who understood what Ray was aiming for.
　Smiling at the scene, he raised his magical powers and opened his mouth.

'Fire, dance, dance.Light up your surroundings with your splendid dance, and fascinate the wandering with your beautiful dance.'

　After hearing the spell, Seto must have remembered what the magic Ray uses.The magic I saw when I got out of the forest.
　There is a difference between the night forest and the mountain, but strangely, the situation is very similar to when we escaped from the evil forest.
　Watching Seto descend to the earth with a loud cry and a momentary pause in which Harpy was frightened, Ray specifies the range of effects of magic and utters the last keyword."Dancing Flame"

　Almost 100 human-sized flames appear at the same time as magic takes effect.It was much less numerous than it was in the Devil Forest, but still nearly five times more numerous than the Harpies flying in the sky.Then, the flames created by Ray fly around within the designated range as if they were dancing.And...

"Squeak!"

　Harpy could not avoid all the flames, and in the next moment, the flames spread all over his body and burned up in seconds.

"I have been an adventurer for quite some time, and I wonder if I have ever seen such magic of fire."
"...yeah. Honestly, you underestimated Ray's power."

　Blaso and Fluorocarbons muttered dumbly.
　Several bodies of fluorocarbons, which had been fighting against harpies until recently, lie around them, but instead of being breathless, fluorocarbons look at the harpies being burned from the side they touch.

"But it is impossible to remove the material, the magical stone, and the proof of subjugation if it is burned so perfectly."

　Blasso muttered involuntarily, turning his eyes to Harpy, who had fallen to the ground and shattered.

"That can't be helped, can't it?"If I had been fighting with Harpy right now, I'd probably be in trouble, for example, if the Harpies, who were afraid of Seto, ran away from here and built their nests somewhere else.If you think about it, it's not such a bad option to make it all go away without even giving Ray time to run away."
"...well, if you come to subdue Harpy, and you just kick him out, you're putting the cart before the horse."

　Ray muttered, looking around for any abnormalities around him.
　There was a figure of Ray, who was so tired that he could not seem to see that he had used magic on the scale of turning nearly twenty harpies into charcoal.

"I think we can still afford to use such large-scale magic."

　Fluorocarbons muttered dumbfoundedly, looking at Ray.
