Otoko Nara Ikkokuichijou no Aruji o Mezasa Nakya, ne?

Glad to finally be over with all of those... next on to the good stuff.

Year 7447, Month 5, Day 9

We arrived at the monster room which ogre mages are believed to be in on the 7th floor.

Today Kamu and Kimu are with us so our pace is a bit slow.

The current time is around 10:00 in the morning.

It took us 4 hours to get up to here in the usually fast pace 7th floor after all.

Furthermore, we discussed even more of the fine details with the two of them last night.

A meeting is necessary before we charge into the monster room.

Though I say that the content is just a single sentence.

"I'll go and finish them off so wait here. Let's take a short break."

Just that.

Ah, I also put some hot water into the flask Giberuti handed me and ordered him to make some tea.

It's just the right sort of place for a rest point after all.

After that I carefully sneak up to the center of the room and after discovering the ogre and ogre mage group freeze them in ice using level 8 water and fire magic then it's just a matter of waiting. In reality though it would have been fine to fight them in close combat like usual but this time Kamu and Kimu are here, well~ I thought I should show them a somewhat good show.

Now I already know that I can finish them off with ice made using just level 8. It's not necessary to use it 8 times over like the first time I tried it. That's right, though a single usage of level 7 is a bit tough. At the very least double is needed. If you can at least use 3~4 times the amount then even if the aim is a bit off from the center of the group it'll definitely end the lives of the ogres.

When it comes to level 8 you create an amount of ice that is more than enough to not have to worry about things like that so the consumed MP is plenty at just two types of level 8 magic for a total of 16. It's still plenty even if I don't use all of it and decrease the amount. Additionally it's easier when it comes time to erase it.

I froze them inside of ice that's 5 meters high and 30 meters or so in diameter.

Even this is barely 1/30th of the amount of ice I can make with level 8 magic.

Though it's still roughly 3.5 times the amount of level 7.

The reason I'm so bent on using ice is because even if I were to bury them in the same amount of dirt with Earth Magic at least 1 of them would be able to escape.

If you use Earth Magic to create dirt it either appears from your hands or falls from the space above where you're aiming so it's necessary to create more than the amount you actually need. Obviously there's a time lag before they're completely buried so they can move out the way. Although, it requires less MP so you can create all that much more for that amount but if there's that much more it becomes a pain when you're erasing it with {Anti-Magic Field} to find the corpses and gather the magic stones.

After freezing them in ice I briskly walked back to the place where everyone was waiting. A short break while sipping at the tea Giberuti prepared for me.

"Umm, Greed-kun. What about the ogre mages..."

Kamu who's sitting in our circle so we can keep an eye on the situation behind each others backs asked while taking some tea from Giberuti.

"Hn? Yeah, I went and took care of them. They should die pretty soon."

After entering the circle I immediately started sipping at my tea after taking it. It seems like Kamu and Kimu don't understand what I'm saying at all. They exchanged shocked looks with each other before preparing to say something.

"How many were there?"

Ralpha asked while sitting cross-legged and sipping some disgusting tea so the two who were about to say something stopped. No matter how you look at it Ralpha appears to have no sense of danger at all. However, it's certainly not very good even though it's made with hot water~ I understand what you're thinking but couldn't you make a bit better of a face, isn't this fellow too honest?

"The same as usual. Around 10 or so I guess? I didn't properly count them so no clue. Oh~ give me some roasted beans."

I take some roasted beans as a tea snack from Gwine and start crunching away at them. Beans are delicious.
