Sensei, I understand you're worried about Master, but we must hurry.

I have to drop you off, and then go take out those geezers.

I can't let them get in Master's way.

Please let me help!

I might not look it,

but my magic power is actually on par with the hero, Amanogawa-kun.

I don't have any combat experience, but...

I can at least try to give you backup!

I'll be honest, I'm afraid of fighting people.

But there's no other choice!

Just having ideals is not enough!

In order to have everyone survive and go back to Japan,

I, of all people, can't run away!

Tio-san!

If you've already made up your mind, then that's settled.

If that's your decision, Master can't say no to that.

Fine, let's go demolish those fools together.

Yes!

What is that magic power? Is she using Limit Break?

What's going on? Her magic power isn't decreasing at all.

My Limit Break has a time limit... What should I do?

I need to create some space...

Blow up!

Were you hoping to take me out with you?

As if. Please, what a terrible joke.

You should at least be as attractive as my lover before you say stuff like that.

Such a light attack now? Have you exhausted all your options?

What? With such a light attack?

What?!

Let's see if you can survive this!

Irregular...

That's the Irregular's fang, not bad, huh?

Oh dear.

What in the world happened here?

Oh, Sensei, you didn't run away?

She insisted on assisting you.

Um, I just wanted to help Tio-san...

At any rate, it's good to see you're both all right.

Yes! I'm glad you're all right, too. Very glad...

For a moment I thought I was going to die, but I'm alive.

I'm truly impressed by Master's sensei.

Huh?

You boosted the power of my breath so much that it tore down the whole church.

Truly impressive.

Sensei, what did you do?

No, it's not what you think! I didn't mean to do this!

The church's barrier was a bit tough, so...

The barrier was tough, and...?

I was hoping I could improve Tio-san's breath somehow, just to break the barrier.

But...

But?

I see. You used your Farmer skill "Fermentation Acceleration"

to create methane... Highly flammable.

Then you used Tio's wings to collect the gas into one spot and boom?

We were blown away, too. It's been a while since I felt so close to death.

And not only did you destroy the barrier, you blew up the whole church?

Even with my long life, I couldn't think of such a method. I am in awe.

No! It's not what you think!

I didn't know it would explode like that...

I just wanted to avoid half-measures...

Wait, what happened to the people at the church?!

Well, they probably blew up with the church.

They seemed to be overconfident, and it was a surprise attack.

That huge explosion with their guard down;

it's not likely they could've survived that.

But...

But... No... I mean, I thought I was ready, but...

Have you calmed down, Sensei?

Master.

What's wrong?

There's someone there. Someone clearly not normal.

What?

Does he want us to follow him?

Probably. What should we do, Master?

Let's see...

It'd be great to meet up with Yue as soon as possible,

but since we came all the way out here for the God's Age magic, perhaps...

--Sensei. --Y-Yes.

I'm sorry, but I need you to come along. I don't know what'll happen,

but I have to find out who that guy is.

Who are you? What do you want from us?

Are you a Liberator?

Um... What is this place?

Spirit Magic?

Hmm. This seems like a type of magic that can manipulate a person's soul.

So this must be how Miledi put her soul in a golem to survive.

Laus Barn... The designer of the Divine Mountain Great Labyrinth.

Says here, to defeat this dungeon,

you must first defeat two other labyrinths,

have no faith in god,

and must defeat some effect powered by the force of god.

When these conditions are met, a guide to this location appears.

I see, so when that man showed up,

it meant we had already defeated this labyrinth.

The concept of the Divine Mountain is to prove

that a person has a strong will that isn't swayed by god.

Sensei, are you all right?

Yes, I'm holding it together.

This is quite an impressive magic.

If such a thing exists,

perhaps there is also a magic that can take us back to Japan.

Yeah.

By the way, Master, shouldn't we hurry?

Yes! The royal capital is under attack!

I hope everyone is okay.

Let's regroup with Yue and the others.

"A few hours earlier"

What?

Hey! Shizuku-chi!

Idiot!

Careless!

Sorry.

Shizuku?

Kouki, can't you be at least a little bit careful?

Would it be too much trouble for you to at least ask who's there?

What if it was a suspicious person?

We're in the royal palace. How could there be anyone suspicious?

I agree with Kouki. Shizuku, aren't you overthinking this?

Anyway, what was that sound? It sounded like something shattered.

I don't know. Let's wake everyone up and go find out.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Sorry to wake you all.

I'm sure you heard it, too, but earlier, we heard a very loud shattering sound.

I think the palace is safe, but we need to find out what's going on.

Let's stick together, just in case.

Nia.

Shizuku-sama.

Nia?

The Great Barrier has been broken.

What?!

The Demons are invading.

No, but how...

How did the Demons get to the royal capital without being noticed?

We have to buy some time.

Then the people here can evacuate, and the army and knights can regroup.

Wait, Kouki-kun.

I think we should regroup with Meld-san and the knights, not go fight on our own.

But...

Nia-san, how many Demons are there?

Roughly one hundred thousand.

Kouki-kun, there's no way we can hold back so many.

We need a larger force to match them.

To do that, we should coordinate properly with Meld-san. Don't you think?

Yes, I agree with Eririn.

Eririn is awesome. She doesn't wear glasses for nothing!

The glasses don't have anything to do with this, Suzu...

I agree with Eri, too. I think we were losing our cool.

What about you, Kouki?

Yes... At times like this, we can't just jump into action. We need to coordinate.

Let's regroup with Meld-san.

Thank you for coming. Are you aware of the situation?

Yes, we heard from Nia.

Um... Where is Meld-san?

The Commander is doing something important.

For now, though, please, come to the center.

You, the hero, are our leader.

Hey, Shizuku, something's...

I know. Stay on your guard. Something's wrong.

Everyone, the situation is dire, but have no fear.

Let us all welcome our hero.

Today is the day for which we exist. Now, hold up your swords.

A beacon to signal the beginning!

Behold!

Guys...

Endo-kun?!

What's going on?

Oh? I suppose I should be impressed, right, Shizuku?

What?

Shizuku-sama!

Shizuku-sama, help me!

Nia?! Are you all right?

Shizuku-sama...

N-Nia... Wh-Why?

Are you...?

Not even the great Shizuku could see that coming, huh?

Yes, yes, that's right, huh?

After all, that's why I waited until the last moment to "prepare" her.

What's going on...?

Eri?!
