“What the hell is that…?” (Villagers)

“Are we dreaming…?” (Villagers)

　The villagers of the village of Gatel were standing around looking at the strange scene.

　The ivy that suddenly emerged from the ground, completely restrained the nocturnal dragon.

　The nightwalker, which the villagers had been unable to harm even in unison, was now writhing in agony, unable to move.

　Everyone was stunned.

　No one could comprehend the situation.

　And after a while, someone shouts.

“It’s Narugoa-kun…! That’s-Narugoa-kun’s summoned monster!” (Timora)

　――After a long time, I met her again, and she had somehow become very bewitching.

　The huge flower that bloomed on her head was both beautiful and bewitching.

　On the other hand, the ivy entwined all over her body is full of vitality like it is about to burst.

　But she never changes.

　Her self-assured attitude, her sullen face, her habit of twirling her golden hair with her fingertips.

　Alraune, who is in charge of the second level of the cave of the island, was standing there looking exactly the same as she did back then.

“I’m sorry to call you suddenly, Alraune, are you on your day off today?”

　Alraune, with surprised wide eyes and frozen on the spot looked down at me, returned to me in my words.

“… No, he… he was stabbed with those hateful heroes, no way can I mistake a human child for him…” (Alraune)

“It’s no mistake, I’m Thousand Hands Narugoa.”

“Hmm, I don’t know what you are planning… but that is an unfunny joke, remember when the contract is canceled, you are going to pay for using that person’s name…!” (Alraune)

“… Is the cultivation of the luminous moss going well?”

“What…!?”

　Alraune looks at me suprised.

　I went on.

“Is Poison Slime successfully educating the newcomers? What about Kyuuketsu’s anemia, and how is the Goblin Restaurant?”

　――The next moment, a tremendous wind blew through the area.

　Alraune, who tried to hit me, was bound by the pact and had been stopped, and it was the aftermath of the shock that caused it.

“Kyaaa!?” (Timora)

“Waaaah!” (Rigat)

　Timora, Rigat and his underlings scream.

　On the other hand, when she held her hand, I didn’t even make a slight movement.

　Why?

　Of course, I was convinced that she couldn’t really hit me because of the pact.

“… It’s been a long time, Alraune”

“How long do you think we’ve waited… Idiot!” (Alraune)

“I’m sorry, I haven’t even fully grasped my situation yet. When this matter is settled, I will give you a full report.”

“Fufu, that doesn’t change… everyone would be happy to know that you’re alive.” (Alraune)

“… I’m sorry I suddenly pushed the Mid-Boss title to you at that time.”

“Yeah! It was hard! Before I knew right or left, I was forced to be a Mid-Boss and everyone had to rely on me!” (Alraune)

“You had quite the difficult time”

“That’s true! I have a lot of complaints, so when you’re done, have a drink with me!” (Alraune)

“Of course I will, I’ve am unemployed now. I’ve got plenty of free time.”

“Promise…” (Alraune)

　Alraune smiles gently.

　I don’t know how much time has passed since then, but she has learned to smile quite naturally.

　However, it was not long before I was happy to see her again after a long time.

“Oi, oi, oi!? Narugoa! What are you talking about!?” (Rigat)

　As expected, it was Rigat who came and ruined the atmosphere.

“Well, that woman is your summoned beast huh!? Go make it fight, quickly! Then, earn some time! Idiot! Crybaby!” (Rigat)

　…… In this situation, he kept on spouting dumb sh*t.

　It seems foolish to deal with him, so I was planning to ignore him…

　Apparently, his attitude ticked someone else.

“What are you doing? Hurry… Ubu!?” (Rigat)

　Soon ivy shot from the ground entwining the bonbon.

　I look back to Alraune.

　She had a knot between her brows, revealing her disgust.

“… For a lump of meat, you sure talk a lot, that name isn’t something you can easily say.” (Alraune)

“Mmm!? Muuuu!?” (Rigat)

“Oh, hey Alraune…”

“Okay, I know without saying, my role is to return this vulgar human to the soil? I’m not too keen on the idea of a dirty flower blooming, but if you ask me, I’ll do it…” (Alraune)

“Oh no! Do not kill him! It’s the nightwalker over there that I want you to kill!”

“Chi… Excuse me.” (Alraune)

　She snaps her finger, and with this as a signal, the plant ivy that restrained Rigat’s body retracts into the soil.

　Rigat collapsed into a mess.

　…… If you look closely, the stains on his crotch are getting bigger.

“Well? Should I defeat that naïve lizard?” (Alraune)

　Alraune pointed to the nightwalker as if nothing had happened.

　When I saw it, the ivy that restrained him made a rattling noise and began to tear.

　In a few more seconds, he’s going to come free.

“Yes, can you do it alone?”

“Hmm, who are you talking to? I’m Thousand Blossom Alraune, the boss of the Great Labyrinth Cave of Silence.” (Alraune)

“… Then I will leave it to you.”

“It will be over soon.” (Alraune)

　With that said, Alraune held her hand high in the sky.

　Along with this, a flower field bloomed around her.

　A wide variety of flowers scatter their petals and shine with the magic power of Alraune.

“[Chant Shorten], [Flower Chant]—[Magic Plus], [Double Cast], [Concentration], [Acceleration], [Protection], [Enchant Poison], [Drain Life]…” (Alraune)

“… wow.”

　I was really surprised at this scene.

　She’s just lining up spells—not even chanting.

　Despite that, spells are getting activated and her body is given countless buffs.

　Perhaps that petals are the catalyst for magic, but anyway it’s a whole new magic system–

　Immediately afterwards, a terrible noise was heard and the ivy that restrained the nightwalker was torn.

　He rushes in a straight line towards Alraune, who is tinged with the light of enhancement magic.

　Rigat and his entourage screamed.

　The same is true for the adults who were watching in the distance.

　But Alraune laughs, invincibly,

“—Bloom.” (Alraune)

　And with that single word.

　—Immediately, the movement of Nightwalker stopped and his scales exploded.

　And

“Gyaaa”

　Phan! There was a bursting sound, and it broke through the surface of the nightwalker’s body, and countless flowers bloomed.

　The jet-black outer shell became a flower field no matter how much it cuts the flowers off.

　Alraune exhales as she had finished her work.

“I’ve done my best since you’re gone, that’s enough to beat the brave party alone.” (Alraune)

“… You’ve been working too hard, Alraune”

　Alraune smiles softly.

　Just like a dignified flower blooming in the night sky…

　The nightwalker, which was transformed into a flower field, tilted and sank with the darkness.
