"Here I go!"
Iris thrust its claw on the demon's den while saying that.
The wall made from earth magic broke without any resistance.
"Well then, I'll be waiting above!"
Iris flew above after it said that.
"...Huh? There's no one inside?"
There's only one room in the demon's den.
And there is no one inside that room... or what it looks like.
Well, in short, it's a concealment magic.
The demon that was outside probably informed them somehow when it saw Iris.
It was far away so I didn't catch communication-magic-kind of mana, but the 【Active Detection】 mana got disordered a bit after all.
『Can you hear me, you two?』
"Uwaa!"
"W-what's this!"
『It's a short-range telepathic magic to protect us against bugs. You can reply by thinking inside your head without letting out your voice.』
『Inside my head....』
『...L-Like this?』
『Ooh! I could hear Ruli's voice even though her mouth isn't moving!』
『Alma's voice too! Magic like this exists too....』
『With my crest, I can only use it at a short distance, like in this situation. To explain this, in short, you can't see the enemy because of concealment.』
『...Concealment?』
『Yeah. It's a magic to hide your form and make it hard to detect mana detection. That said.』
『Which means, with 【Passive Detection】... Un?』
『I can't find it....』
The two immediately concentrated on detection, but they couldn't seem to find the enemy.
Well, these demons might be difficult for their first time.
Particularly the one besides Elhart, they wouldn't have known if I didn't tell them.
『Normally mana reactions are bigger than the surrounding mana.... But the concealment magic they're using is a type that completely erase their mana emission. Don't you feel a place where the mana is thinner instead? ...Ah, we shouldn't let them know that we find them, so don't point your finger if you do find one.』
『Hm.... Ah the corner over there!』
Alma looked toward a corner of the room.
『Correct.』
『True, the mana there feels thinner.... But I can't find the other one... there's two of them right?』
『Yeah. You don't have to worry about that one. It can't be found after all.』
That one must also think that no one can find it.
If we attack Elhart, I'm sure it'll choose to forsake Elhart and continue hiding.
Demons don't risk their life for another demon weaker than them unless it benefits them.
