We arrived at the tower of sunrises seventh floor.
Just like the sixth floor, in the seventh floor, a maze foothold was made because of the water.
Since the reaction on the map are only unidentified monsters, a different monster will probably turn up again.
Onii-chan.
Id also like to do thepond skaterwhich onii-chan did awhile ago.
How did you do that?
I only used the surface tension of the water.
Surface tension??
Do you, by any chance, not know about it?
When you normally pour water into a glass, doesnt it not spill when the water rise a little above the edge of the glass?
Thats surface tension.
Ill try it!
While usingWater magic,
Aya timidly brings her foot close to the waters surface.
I was able to do it.
Ayas right foot didnt sink into the water.
Can I stand on the water just as it is?
Go!
Aya placed her left foot on the water too.
Hooray, I can stand on the water!
Although somewhat unsteady, Aya is indeed standing on the water.
Since I can do it, you can do it too, if you try!
The moment I said so, Aya stuck out her chest.
Ah!
Aya slipped and fell into the water with *splash!*
I-, Im drowning!Onii-chan, help me~.
Idiot
I jumped into the water at once and tried to help Aya.
Due to the reaction that followed when Aya clung onto me, we almost sunk into the water.
We somehow managed to return to the foothold usingWater magic, though not until I nearly drowned.
Aya, are you alright?
Im not alright, jinu[1].
Aya, who had returned to the foothold, had a runny nose.
Although you can useWater magic, why did you nearly drown?
Thanks to you, even I is soaking wet.
It was *sniff*~ sudden, t-, *sniff* thats why[2]
I dont understand what you are saying.
I took out a bath towel from the inventory,
and when I wipe Aya up
Elena and Hilda were warming us up with dryer magic.
Alright, lets try to use a warming magic too.
I made a sphere, which irradiated far infrared rays[3], appear from a slightly remote position.
Oh, this is warm!
Its the Far Infrared Ray magic.
Ah, is it an electric heater?
Yes, it is.
Thats good, its pleasantly warm~.
While being irradiated by the far infrared rays, we took a break and drank hot cocoa for awhile, but I discovered an enemy approaching on the map.
The break is over.
Theres an enemy approaching.
Seriously!?
Aya, who has her clothes and hair half-dry, stands up and looks around restlessly.
Suddenly, apredicted attack areaappeared in front of me.
That area was long and thin, drawing an arc.
When I had Aya and the others to withdraw and watched the area closely
*Schwan!*
When I heard a sound of something shooting with great force,
a largishflying fishpassed through thepredicted attack area.
So thats the enemy on this floor!
After a short time, thepredicted attack areawas displayed where Hildas head was positioned right now!
I moved in front of Hilda usingteleportationat once and put the white belt sword over wherepredicated attack areawas located.
*Schwan!*
The moment when theflying fishflew out with great force and hit the white belt sword
it split vertically into two equal parts.
Theflying fish, which has been cut up into two, falls down on the foothold with *botori* and twitches.
Is aflying fishdelicious?
Seiji-onii-chan, thank you very much.
Hilda seems to be a little scared.
If that attack hit a strange place, she might have suffered a serious injury.
We decided to advance through this floor carefully.
-
When we advanced for a while whilst cuttingflying fishesinto two several times
There was a reaction of an unidentified enemy rapidly approaching from far away.
Be careful, somethings coming!
Aya and the others took their stances at once.
This time, thepredicted attack areawas displayed, but it was aiming toward the middle of my forehead.
When I promptly prepared the white belt sword
*Swish!!*
I-, I cant see it
Almost at the same time as I prepared the white belt sword, from out of nowhere,
that fellow flew in.
And, it was split into two by the white belt sword and fell down on the foothold with a *plop*.
When I usedappraisal
it seemed to be aswift flying fish.
Unlike theflying fish, which has two wings on each of its sides, there are as much as a total of four wings on each of its sides.
This fellow seems to be a wind attribute,
thewind attribute monsters subjugationcounted one.
Scary~.
Aya is scared at its excessive speed,
but its attack damage shouldnt be too high.
Preparing for a little damage, itll be a monster who can be defeated easily if I counterattack right after getting hit once.
But, I cant afford to have the girls take a damage,
lets defeat all of them.
In the end, there wasnt a boss on this floor,
after defeating eighteenflying fishes,
and fiveswift flying fishes,
we found the stairway towards the top.
***
The atmosphere didnt completely change until now,
the eighth floor was filled with terribleheat.
Its so hot~!!
Its hot and the humidity is terrible.
Its totally like were inside a sauna.
Onii-chan, its hot!
Can I take my clothes off?
Dont do such a vulgar thing!
What are you going to do if there are other adventurers?
There isnt any other adventurer here!
Hot~hot~!
Aya doesnt have an awareness as an adventurer
well, shes not an adventurer, huh.
We decided to go home immediately to change into a much cooler clothes.
