Right now, Alvin and the others had returned to the entrance of the
monster's nest. Fortunately, no monsters had tried to get out while Flair and
the others were on guard, so Alvin and the others weren’t fight them.
And after calling Flair and Freri back from their watch, Shinji held
up his staff as he had planned to do from outside the mine.
「Clean Water
- <Water Creation>」
The magic Shinji uses is a water-creating magic that can be used by
anyone with enough magic power. It is a magic that is normally used for small
things such as washing dishes or washing hands, and is not meant for combat.
However, by using Freri's magic, Shinji uses it to release a huge
amount of water with tremendous force. Flair, who was standing beside Shinji,
also cast a spell on the continuously releasing water.
「How's
that~noja? Isn't it perfect?」
Heating magic is nothing special because she just interfered with
Shinji's <Water Creation> magic and altered part of it by force.
However, as a result, the water that was released immediately boiled
and bubbled. And one after another, the large amount of water that Shinji
poured out became very hot hot water that flowed into the monster's nest.
At first, Shinji didn't want to do this, but since he couldn't make
a contract with Flair, he couldn't use her affinity magic. Therefore, he took
the method of forcibly modifying the magic from the external source this time. As
a result, the fact that the magic used was a simple <Create Water> and that
Shinji trusted Flair and allowed her to interfere with the magic made it
possible to create this pseudo affinity magic.
Flair, on
other hand, could not say no if Shinji asked her to, even though she has
absolute confidence in her magic. Furthermore, it’s an unthinkable act for her
to interfere with wizard’s magic. But she was more than happy to hear Shinji
say, 「Since you're Flair, I'll leave it to you,」 which made Flair feel that she
was trusted in a special way.
「Yeah. That's
perfect. As expected of Flair」
Shinji nodded in satisfaction at the smugly proud Flair.
And so, the hot water attack began.
◇ ◇ ◇
Shinji's idea of a hot water attack was more effective than he had
expected.
But Shinji was unable to move due to the constant spraying of hot
water with Flair. So, the wizard from another party was the one who watch the
nest with his <Magic Eye>.
「The word “chaos”
fits the situation perfectly」
「Yes. I can
only say that it's very effective」
It seems that the monsters are unable to cope with the hot water
that is invading their nests one after another.
「It seems to
be more effective than I thought. I want to give it a try」
While the wizards were in awe, Shinji continued to pour hot water
into the nest with his magic.
The two beastman wizards saw that Shinji's presence was out of the
ordinary.
It is not
uncommon for a wizard/witch who specializes in making contracts with spirits to
have multiple spirits in his command. This is unless the spirits are a
combination of a high-ranking spirit and an intermediate-ranking spirit.
In the first place, it is rare to have the talent to make a contract
with a high-ranking spirit, and there are no opportunities to meet high-ranking
spirits themselves. Even if someone has the talent to make a contract with a
medium-ranked spirit, many spirit users are unable to find a medium-ranked
spirit and make multiple contracts with lower-ranked spirits.

In such a situation, the other wizard couldn't imagine how talented
and fortunate Shinji was to have contracts with both high and intermediate rank
spirits.
In fact, he had known Freri since she was still a lower-ranked
spirit, and he hadn't made a contract with Flair, but there was no way they
could tell from the side.
“Alvin's
party members were not ordinary, as he was a swordsman who won a fighting
tournament too”, this was the common understanding of all four parties except
the <Running Wolves>.
「There’s a
monster!」
The wizard who had been watching with his <Magic Eye> shouted.
In his vision, he could see a flying monster charging at the entrance of the hot
water spout.
「Gyiiieeek!」
The monster flew into the hot water with such force that it managed
to crawl towards it even though its outer shell was damaged by the heat. Its
wings were wet and no longer useful too, still it tried to move forward in a
stalled state.
However, Renka and the other archers who were waiting patiently,
shot arrows all at once, and the monster was pierced by several arrows and
died. The monster will then be swept away in hot water and thrown into the nest
with the others.
「I'm not
afraid of them if they come alone」
The other adventurers agreed with Renka's words.
「...There are
no monsters coming from the outside......」
「<Increase
Magic power>」
As a swordsman, Alvin is on the lookout for any monsters coming back
to the nest from outside, but there are no signs of any outside monsters as the
other party has already hunted them down. He even had time to look at Milis as
she cast a spell to strengthen Shinji's magic so that he could use it more
easily, despite his vigilance.
「Alvin, I'm
sorry......」
「No, if
there's a safe and efficient way to do it, it's natural to choose it」
Alvin smiled back at Shinji's grimace.
Alvin knows that Shinji's magic power is average. It is natural to
think that releasing this much hot water continuously will definitely be a
burden.
「Freri is
here, so I guess I'll be fine. But when I'm done, I'd like to rest as much as
possible」
「Okay, then
we'll take care of the light source when we check the nest!」
Shinji was honest about his fatigue. Shinji, who values the whole
over his own personal pride, is not vain. Fortunately, there are four other
wizards that Shinji can rely on.
So, Shinji thought that he would be grateful to accept their offer.
「I see. Then
I'll take care of it for now!」
「Yeah, I'll
leave it to you......!」
Shinji just kept pouring hot water all over it.
It's just a matter of time until the hot water penetrates deep into
the nest, scorching the outer shell of the monster and swallowing its larvae,
such as the monster and its eggs.
- Shinji's hot water attack.
- It seems to have a certain effect on killing real ant nests, right?
- Anyway, the only way to get rid of them is to get rid of the ones that can't get in properly.
- Let's move on with the story.
