“Shh…! A spirit species… Undine!!??”
“An A-rank danger monster!? Why!? I thought the upper limit for the second floor was C-rank…!?”
“No way, seriously?”
“H-Haru, this is really bad, isn’t it…?”
“A-ah, w-w-wait, i-it’s my fault, I… I made Kasuya get hurt—!”

The water swells.
With a plop, something like an outlet appears.
It takes aim at Snow.
“…! Snow!!”
“Rainwind!”
Juban!!
What the water monster called Undine unleashed was water.
However, due to its highly compressed density and the magical energy clinging to it, it had become a blow powerful enough to bore a hole into the ground.
Snow blocks the water shot aimed at them.
It’s probably a shield of wind wrapped in water, an application of spirit magic.
It seems they managed to defend against it somehow.
“Snow!? Are you hurt!?”
“No problem! Aki, more importantly, this…”
“…We got unlucky. There just happened to be an Undine at that spring. As a being of water, it hates having its waters tainted… It seems it really didn’t like the salt.”
“It’s definitely my fault aaaaaaaaahhhh… Ahhhh, what should I do, what should I do, what should I do, Kasuya got huuuuuuurt!”
Not good, Kotori’s mental state is in bad shape.
I should at least stop the bleeding.
Deploying the spell—Sanguine Blood Canon.
The blood flowing from my palm starts to circulate in the air, then it solidifies.
This is the curse I obtained when dealing with the bandits before, the power to manipulate blood that the huge red golem used, which I reinterpreted into a spell.
Originally, this spell would allow for more direct attacks using blood, but this time, I’ll secretly limit it to its secondary effect, stopping the bleeding.
Alright, bleeding stopped.
“Kotori, the bleeding has stopped, so there’s no problem now.”
“Ahhh… Because of me, because of me, Kasuya is ahhh… Huh, the bleeding stopped?”
“Yes, see for yourself.”
“Oh, you’re right…”
