Up ahead was a staircase. Ascending the stairs, they soon reached the top floor.
Suddenly, a shutter closed behind them.
“What, they think that’ll scare us? Hah, we’re trekking on no matter what happens.”

“What, they think that’ll scare us? Hah, we’re trekking on no matter what happens.”
Alisa stood up firmly. Even while being showered in flames, she closed in on the dragon.
“I won’t die without putting up a fight…” said Alisa. She plunged her sword through its throat, which would be her last act. “Tyrone… Lutz… Myau… I… leave the rest… to you…”
Alisa slunk down to the floor, mortally wounded. She followed her brother’s footsteps to the end. All she could do now was watch over her comrades from above..
Wanting to find out more, Alisa and party decided to head for the Altiplano Plateau.
“Hey, aren’t those red berries over there the laerma berries? They weren’t very difficult to find at all,” said Alisa.
“But what are they even good for? We don’t even know. It’s just extra baggage at this point,” complained Tyrone.
“Tyrone, you’re big and strong, right? You can carry them without a problem, right?”
“……” Tyrone had no come back.

Returning to Skure, Alisa and the group took off on the spaceship Luveno. Their destination, of course, was planet Palma.
Machinery buzzed and whirred as the Vulcan opened its mouth. A blazing wind came shooting out of its mouth, hot enough to burn bare skin!
Alisa and her comrades flung themselves out of the way.
But the monster wasn’t done yet. Next, he swung down his massive fists! His target appeared to be the ground.
Alisa attacked the monster’s heels. This ended up having a bigger effect than Alisa had imagined.
The Vulcan sharply collapsed to its knees. As if vomiting blood, magma began to pour out from its mouth before its whole body fell and broke apart.
“Phew, finding its weak spot in one strike was really lucky….”
Up ahead was a dead-end, so Alisa and party returned to the hallway they were previously in.
The group entered the tower. When they did, suddenly—
<Mwahahaha, so you’ve come, foolish humans. If you want to run away, now is the time,> said a voice from somewhere.
Shutters abruptly closed behind them.
<Oops, now you can’t even run away. Hahaha, you’ve come here to die!>
“Hah! Do you think you can scare us away that easily?”
Undeterred, Alisa and party pressed forward and came to an L-shaped corridor.
The group came to L-shaped corner. A carving of a serpent decorated the corridor’s walls; it was so real looking it seemed it might jump out at them.
They opened the door to see a long staircase leading up.
Eventually, they reached the top. It seemed they were a good distance from ground level.
Up ahead, the road branched out.
The group suddenly entered a large room. Dozens of ornately decorated pillars supported the ceiling.
“It looks like we’re being welcomed.”
Skeleton warriors appeared from the shadows of the pillars.
“Mad Stalkers, huh. Not very impressive,” Tyrone said coolly.
“Boy, it seems you’ve turned into quite the big talker, Tyrone,” resounded the voice of a laughing woman.
“So then, shall I be your opponent?”
A strange monster appeared from the back of the spacious room. Each tendril of her hair consisted of live snakes. The bottom half of her body was that of a large serpent.
“Medusa, you witch!!”
“Have you not learned your lesson yet, boy? It’s useless even if you bring your friends with you.”
“Go to hell!” Tyrone abruptly sent his ax flying towards her!
“I appreciate the offer, but no thanks. See you.”
“H-hey, miss—”
Alisa and her comrades walked away, ignoring the man. His story was incredibly suspicious. Even if he really had a weapon, it was probably just a rusty sword or a defective gun or something like that.
Having pulled away from the man, Alisa and party:
