Reiko stood up with Momoka and jumped out through the skylight instead of the usual doorway.

.

The old man, who could use the Magi Radar, which was much better than the Magi Detector of Capricorn 1, had a more accurate view of the target.

"...... was there."

< magic, but it doesn't work on Reiko now.

She has eyes that can see not only visible light, but also ultraviolet and infrared rays, and ears that can detect ultrasonic waves. She also has a simple version of a magi-detector.

There it is!

A figure rolls out from behind a limestone spire protruding from the ground.

"Kuu!　How did you know where I was!"

It was a man who looked to be in his twenties. Thin, with an eagle nose. He had gray hair, dark skin, and golden eyes that shone brightly.

"Are you of the <> clan?"

"You ...... know such a thing?　That traitor spoke, didn't he?"

The man shouted and threw a stone at Reiko.

"Shut up!"

Reiko brushes the stone away without using her Momoka blade.

"You ...... monster,...... are you giving in to a shameless traitor?"

"<> activated. Paralyze gun.

"Gah ......"

In an instant, the demon tribe's consciousness was cut off. Since the surrounding free magical element (ether) was not free, no countermeasures could be taken, and they were exposed to the radiation of the paralyzer.

Reiko carried the demons to Capricorn 1 and tied them up with a rope woven from the threads of a ground spider. The rope is 9mm in diameter, and even Reiko has to increase the output more than 40% to break the rope.

"...... Belials?"

Istaris, who had seen the demons Reiko had captured, spoke their names.

"You know him, Istaris?"

"Yes. < clan, no doubt named Belialus.

He's good at subjugation magic, isn't he?

Yes. Many of the clans use demons as servants.

What about other abilities?

If you're going to keep them as prisoners of war, you need to know about them.

"The <> clans can use ...... ah, transfer magic.

Hearing this, Jin thought of a countermeasure. The collar that was placed around Erza's neck before, a collar that blocks magic.

Jin himself, who is on Horai Island, hurriedly arranges for the materials to make it.

"Uh, it's like this, as I recall: ....... It's easy since it doesn't need the function of taking away physical strength.

The source of magic power is his own mana. It is very eco-friendly.

The mana is then transferred to Capricorn 1 using a warp gate. Reiko receives it and attaches it to the neck of Belialus.

Since it is made of 64 light silver, it will not come off unless it is removed by magic.

"We managed to get it off before he noticed."

Jin muttered in relief through the mouth of the double inside Capricorn 1.

"Jin-sama, what are you going to do about Belialus?"

Istaris asked with a doubtful look on his face.

"My main concern is to ask him why he tried to attack us," Istaris replied. Then I would also like to know what kind of traps lie ahead."

Capricorn 1 stops until Belialis finds out. It was decided that it would be better to know what kind of traps were out there.

And it wasn't long... 10 minutes later, Belialus grunted and noticed.

"Realized?　Belialus."

"U...... you are Istaris!　...... where am I?"

"Anywhere would be fine. ...... why are you attacking us?"

"......"

Belialus keeps his mouth shut. He doesn't want to talk.

"We're on our way to the country now, loaded with food for the time being."

At these words Belialus reacts.

"A country?　A nation? A group of miscellaneous clans?　That makes me laugh.

"Belialus!　What the hell are you trying to say?　What are you trying to say?

Theon couldn't keep his mouth shut anymore.

"It's not about the country, it's about food now, isn't it?　We all have to eat to survive, don't we?

"Oh, food. I've got it. ...... in the south.

"You mean the land of the humans?

But then Belialus stopped talking.

"......"

"There's no point in going on like this. Let's move on."

"...... I agree."

Jin said, and Istaris and Zion nodded and left Belialus.

"Lando one, go!"

"Capricorn 1, go!"

After a time loss of less than an hour, the group started to head north again. In less than half an hour, they reached the narrowest point of the Pazdekst isthmus.

The area is rocky, with rugged rocks and huge holes in the ground, making it very difficult to advance.

"The color is changing again.

After a certain point, the color of the rocks is noticeably different.

From limestone gray to red.

"...... Radiolaria?"

Akaishidake in the southern part of the Japanese Southern Alps. Akaishidake in the southern part of Japan's Southern Alps. The red stone, radiolarian sheet rock, is also the origin of the official name of the Southern Alps, the Akaishi Mountains.

Like limestone, it is a sedimentary rock, but instead of being calcareous, it is a siliceous rock formed by the accumulation of dead radiolaria.

"Perhaps the Laurentian continent and the Gondorian continent were attached to each other by tectonic movements.

Jin looked at the scenery while muttering to himself.

At that moment, Capricorn 1 came to a sudden stop.

"What's wrong?"

"Yes, there seems to be a magical trap ahead.

What?

I looked into the magi-detector, and saw a magical reaction along the horizontal line.

What is it?　What is this?

"I don't know the details. I don't know the details, but it seems to be a kind of magic net. That would explain the use of .......

A trap.

We don't know what it is, but it's not surprising, since it was expected that they would try something around here.

"Belialus, don't you know something?　"Belials, don't you know something?

Theon turns and asks, but Belialus remains silent.

"...... so I take it you are not going to tell me."

"Father, should we go ahead and check?"

Reiko suggests, but Jin dismisses the idea.

"No, no. We don't know what will happen or what might be waiting for us.

"Then I'll go check it out."

Netros said.

"I know all the traps the demons use."

"Yes, you do. Netros, will you take care of it?

Yes, I'll take care of it. ...... Lukas, you come with me. I'll train you a little.

Okay.

I'll come with you. I think I can help you.

Anne also volunteered to help.

Thus, Netros, Lucas, and Anne went outside to check and disarm the trap.
