(As long as I have a clear image, this magic can even bring salt into existence. It really can do anything. Though instead of it being actual salt, it may have brought forth something with a similar effect. It’ll probably disappear in a minute.)
He groaned about his own power. But he did feel glad that he had used it from the depths of his heart. Since the Slug had become small, Arnold impaled it on his sword.
“I’m not surprised anymore, but what did you do?”
“I just put into practice something I wanted to test since I was a kid.”
“…?”
Arnold and Muir stared at him with a blank expression. But they had long ago realized that at this point, they wouldn’t be able to get him to talk any more. So the group pressed forward.
After walking a while, the pathway became quite narrow. They could only tread along it one at a time, so they proceeded with vigilance. Eventually, they found themselves in another open space spanned by a small bridge.
“Can I… cross this bridge? Is it even crossable?”
Hiiro’s question was valid. The bridge was made out of wood, but several places were rotten, and the rope holding it up was visibly decayed. It didn’t seem that this bridge was able to support humans.
But it looked like this was the only way to the other side.
“What should we do, Hiiro? This distance is a bit far for a jump…”
“If I just use 『Fly』, all our problems will be solved.”
“Ah, right!”
But there, Hiiro thought.
(If I use that, we’ll definitely be able to get across. But if something were to happen when we were crossing, the other two…)
If there was some sort of trap laid, or a monster was lying in wait, it would be inconvenient.
(Instead of flying, it’ll be easier to deal with through walking. Though if something does come out, I could just abandon them…)
No, there was something wrong with that train of thought. They were currently important sources of information. For now, they were necessary. It would be too great a loss to lose them here.
“Oy, hurry up and cast magic on me!”
“No, I think I should…”
Hiiro approached the run down bridge. He concentrated magic on his finger and wrote 『Connect』.
“Good, no matter what happens, it’ll hold together for a minute. Let’s go.”
“Eh? O-oh? Oy!”

Though they were surprised at seeing Hiiro suddenly rush forwards, the sight of Hiiro crossing without a problem caused them to join hands and run after him. The bridge that seemed like it would collapse under their feet caused Arnold to apply pressure to the hand connected to his, but he reassured himself that Hiiro had done something again.
(Even so, what magic did he use this time…)
Even with all three of them running on it, though the bridge creaked dangerously, it showed absolutely no signs of collapsing.
(And, like, I kinda wanted to fly, you know…)
Not only Arnold, but Muir as well. Both of them have a disappointed expression.
The group succeeded in crossing the bridge within a minute, but the two beside Hiiro seem to be tired because they thought that the chances of falling to their deaths was high. As Hiiro believed in his own power, he could not understand their fatigue.
“Y-you… what did you do?”
“The word 『Connect』 made it so that for one minute, the ropes would not give out no matter what.”
“Y-you can even do that?”
Muir raised her voice while Arnold glared at him with his eyes half closed.
“Ye~ah, no matter how I look at it, that magic is unfair!”
“No idea. Anyways, let’s go.”
But at that moment, Hiiro experienced an extreme impact on his back, causing him to roll on the ground.
“Hiiro!”
“Kya!”
The two of them watched Hiiro get sent flying before their eyes. But immediately after, it appeared before them.

“G-Ganrock!?”
The Ganrock, as its name might imply, was a monster whose limbs and face were made of rocks. Its height was only around 50 cm, but these monsters were able to build up amazing amounts of momentum, so getting hit by them was no joke.
(Ow… That hurt quite a bit…)
Hiiro lifted up his aching body and glared at the cause. But it wasn’t only one, there were two more for a total of three.
(Right, this cave was supposed to be filled with monsters over Rank B…)
He briefly glanced at Arnold.
(I think it’ll be a bit difficult for that old man…?)
Usually, he would just use 『Burst』 to take them out in an instant, but this was a cave. He didn’t want to cause a cave-in here.
But with a body structure like that, a Sword probably wouldn’t do much damage. It would be difficult for Arnold. Thinking that, Hiiro shouted out.
“Old Man, use your sword!”
That was his conclusion. Though it would definitely be difficult to deal with them with a blade, Hiiro had a reason.
