As we were running towards the place where the seal was, Kagali-san, riding on Swaying Bear, looked up and shouted.
“Is that a wyvern?!” (Kagali)
A wyvern was circling in the sky as if looking for something.
“It’s not just that one.” (Yuna)
I’m getting ten reactions just barely within the detection skill range.
“Wait, what’s that little black bird-like creature?” (Shinobu)
“That’s a Volglass!” (Kagali)
It looks like a black crow-like avian flying in the distance to the naked eye, but Kagali-san’s eyes seem to be able to recognize the Volglass. Is it because foxes have good eyesight? Or is it because she is Kagali-san?
“There’s too many of them.” (Kagali)
Wherever they came from, swarms of Volglass are gathering on the island. My detection skills are getting several times more responses than the wyverns.
“It looks like they’re fighting against the wyverns.” (Yuna)
In the sky, wyverns and Volglass seem to be domineering each other as if in a turf war. The wyverns and Volglass are fighting and moving to the place where the serpent was sealed

Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear stopped.
“What are the bears saying?” (Kagali)
“The monsters are gathering at the locations of each seal, so which way do we go first?” (Yuna)
“All 5 places!?” (Kagali)
“I don’t know why, but it seems only where the heads are sealed.” (Yuna)
I checked with my detection skills again, but they weren’t gathering around where the body was sealed.
“Is it perhaps because of food?” (Shinobu)
That’s what I thought too.
“Even if it’s food, it can’t eat if it’s sealed.” (Kagali)
“Perhaps the seal may be about to be broken.” (Yuna)
“Didn’t we still have a few more days?” (Kagali)
It was close to when the seal would be broken, but when I came, somehow the unsealing was accelerated.
It’s not my fault, is it?
But the words that came out of Kagali-san’s mouth were different.
“Maybe it’s Mumroot’s fault. I had a feeling the serpent’s eyes were fixated on Mumroot when he checked the seal.” (Kagali)
Those creepy eyes. Thinking back, I’m pretty sure it was reacting to Mumroot-san.
“It’s possible that the serpent reacted to his magic. The same magic that sealed it away for so many years has come. Maybe it’s angry inside the seal. The seal weakened further, and it summoned the monsters.” (Kagali)
Kagali-san said one of the possibilities of why the monsters have come to the island.
“So, you’re saying if Mumroot-san hadn’t come, the monsters wouldn’t have come either?” (Yuna)
“I don’t know, but sooner or later, the seal was supposed to be broken. It just happened a bit earlier.” (Kagali)
“That’s the easy answer, but we’re not preparing for anything like this.” (Yuna)
“If Mumroot hadn’t come here, there wouldn’t have been any talk of strengthening the seal. It doesn’t matter either way. In any case, all we have to do is defeat the monsters that come, protect the seal, and hold on until Mumroot comes back to strengthen the seal.” (Kagali)
To put it simply, it’s exactly what Kagali-san says.
Without Mumroot-san, we wouldn’t be talking about strengthening the seal and we would have just waited for the seal to break with no plan whatsoever.
But thanks to Mumroot-san, we can now temporarily strengthen the seal.
There were some disadvantages, but overall, the advantages were more significant.
However, to do so, we here alone must defeat the gathering wyverns and Volglass and protect the seal.
“But four places, it would be troublesome. There are only three of us.” (Kagali)
Kagali-san looked at me and Shinobu.
She doesn’t even know what I’m capable of, but I’m one of the best in the world.
Did she believe what Sakura and Mumroot-san said?
“Perhaps we’ll fight Wyvern and Volglass by ourselves?” (Yuna)
Shinobu gave a troubled look.
“If we do not fight, the seal will be broken and the serpent will return.” (Kagali)
“Yes, but what are we going to do with four locations? Even if each of us protects one, what about the fourth one?” (Shinobu)
“That’s why we’re in a pinch. But there is no time to think about it. Those of us who have finished in our area will have to rush into the last one.” (Kagali)
