The letter Wiz received indicated the location Dick wanted her to meet him.

The location was a graveyard outside of town.

If it were a confession of love, shouldn't he have chosen a more romantic place? But if it were a duel, then this place was perfect.

The group followed Wiz with complicated feelings.

When they arrived at the agreed-upon location, Dick was already there, draped in an antique robe and cloak. His attire didn't look like he was proposing or confessing anything, further confirming what they had suspected.

Dick was also surprised to see them.

"I can understand Yunyun and Kazuma Sato being here, but the young lady from the Dustiness family, and even my close friend who discusses wild Neroids with me?"

Enough!

That's Fake News!

Besides, Aqua's social skills are ridiculously strong. How did she become his close friend after just one night?

"Listen, Dick…"

"Shut up!"

Not giving Aqua a chance to play matchmaker with her foolish ideas, Kazuma Sato grabbed her mouth and gave the stage to the main event.

Dick was curious, but he didn't pay too much attention, and then looked at Wiz with a serious expression.

Unlike Dick, who was wearing an ordinary and somewhat tattered robe, Wiz was wearing the same carefully chosen outfit as last time, looking both beautiful and pure.

"Although I'm not in a position to say this, is it okay for you to dress like that?"

"I don't dress like this often, and I'm quite shy, but in principle, when I'm going to fight, I dress like this…"

Hearing Wiz say shyly, Dick nodded. "Forgive my rudeness, I thought you were looking down on me."

"N-No way! To me, you are the first person to make me face this situation… So, I'm not very used to this kind of dress either, I'm really sorry…"

Wiz shrunk her shoulders and bowed slightly.

Seeing her about to cry, Yunyun and the others were also about to cry, but Kazuma Sato held down Aqua and Darkness's mouths with both hands, and Yunyun did the same to Megumin and Yuiyui.

"Then it's about time to start."

Dick seemed to regain his momentum, gave Wiz a fearless smile, and said with a hint of provocation: "We shouldn't need to say anything more, or are you going to run away like last time?"

"I won't run. This time, I plan to respond to Mr. Dick's feelings head-on."

Saying that, Wiz folded her hands in front of her, her eyes never leaving Dick, staring intently at the person in front of her.

Different from her usual timid and docile demeanor, she had obviously mustered up her courage this time.

She said seriously: "I don't plan to quit my current job, and I will never give in on this matter, because… I have a promise with a freakish friend I've known for a long time!"

Unhesitating and decisive.

"Good!"

Dick didn't get angry, but instead showed a warlike smile and said loudly:

"The one once known as the Ice Witch, who led the supreme adventurer team, now fallen into a lich, yet still pursuing the pinnacle of magic. My name is Dick, and like you, I aspire to one day exhaust the pinnacle of magic! Lich, I challenge you to a duel!"

After that, the two fought as one.

In the open space next to the cemetery, scorching hellfire and pure white mist raged wildly in this space.

It was a visual feast of magic.

The fire magic cast by Dick and Wiz's ice magic collided, causing the nearby land to become in a very terrible state. White frost could be seen everywhere on the ground, and occasionally, places could be found boiling and bubbling.

Even non-archmages could clearly feel the mana remaining in the space, as if the atmosphere was being mobilized, and the cemetery rumbled everywhere.

"H-How amazing!"

Kazuma Sato was so moved that he was about to shed tears.

"That's right, that's what a fantasy world should be like! Flying vegetables, saury growing in the fields, monsters seducing humans and designing traps for them, these are not fantasy at all!"

"Putting aside the former, I agree with the latter, Kazuma."

Yunyun and his hand were tightly clasped together.

Heaven knows how much trauma that bizarre planting system brought to Yunyun's young heart when he was planting in the fields as a child. At that time, let alone eating vegetables, even potatoes dared to jump up and hit his knees.

"Wait a minute, Kazuma! The way you're talking makes it sound like explosion magic isn't real magic, are you deliberately trying to find fault?"

Just as he was moved, Megumin said somewhat unhappily.

No matter how you look at it, this guy is trying to find fault.

It is undeniable that explosion magic is indeed extremely powerful, and it is not without basis to be called the ultimate means of mankind, especially Megumin's full-point addition method, which makes explosion magic abnormally strong.

But for Kazuma Sato, Megumin's explosion magic has no romance at all. Rather, it is the result of being too powerful.

There is no balance of power, let alone intrigue, it is simply a gamble to hit the target.

Truly, truly, the two phases of gods and ghosts.

Kazuma Sato only slightly mocked a few words, and Megumin couldn't help but want to argue with him, but his mind was completely attracted by the battle between Wiz and Dick.

"Hmph, as expected of the Ice Witch!"

Dick gasped slightly.

It's not that he's not strong, but Wiz is too strong. As expected of a strong person crowned with the name of Witch. Even if it's a thing of the past, even if she looks gentle and weak on the surface, Wiz's strength is still among the best.

"Although she's a little worse than me."

"Yunyun…"

"Look, here's a video of me fighting the Monkey King."

"What are you talking about, just the Monkey King… Wait, the Monkey King!?"

Kazuma Sato was dismissive at first, but when he heard who it was, his expression changed drastically, and then he rushed over to stop Yunyun from playing the memory.

"Put it aside for now, we'll watch it when we get back!"

"Hey…"

He was looking forward to Yunyun's battle with the Monkey King, but he couldn't give up on this one either.

In the arena.

The battle between Dick and Wiz was approaching its climax. The two moved around, using the trees growing nearby as shields, attacking each other back and forth.

It looked a bit like turn-based combat.

However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Wiz was actually holding back. Her magic attacks were not powerful advanced magic, nor did she use lich-type magic.

Dick was the first to notice this, and he shouted loudly: "Why don't you have any decent attacks! Are you looking down on me!?"

"Hot, hot, hot!" Wiz blew out the flames on her sleeves with a cold wind, and replied in the same way: "I don't plan to defeat you, nor do I plan to quit my current job! Liches are not afraid of magic, no matter how many moves you make, I will endure to the end and make you give up willingly."

The ground turned into a lava swamp, and Wiz used magic to cool it down, instantly solidifying the swamp, and then chanted resistance magic to escape.

Compared to Dick, who used attack magic continuously, Wiz was more flexible and versatile.

Honestly, Yunyun was inspired a lot.

In fact, he knows swordsmanship, martial arts, magic, and authority. It is no exaggeration to say that he is omnipotent.

But he has a relatively fatal problem.

That is, he basically only uses one system when fighting, rather than linking all the abilities together. In other words, he is not so flexible and versatile.

Just refer to the Monkey King to know.

Its stick skills, martial arts, and spells are all used well, not to mention that it can also link its own abilities together, and can organize suitable combat methods in the fastest way when fighting any enemy.

"I see, I see."

Yunyun kept pondering and thinking in his heart about how he should respond if he regarded them as imaginary enemies.

At this time, Darkness said somewhat shyly: "I said, as a crusader knight, shouldn't I intervene between the two and stop them from fighting it out? Wiz doesn't seem very interested in winning, so I…!"

"Stay put and don't move! You just want to rush over and experience the pleasure of being besieged by advanced magic, right!?"

Kazuma Sato used the bind skill.

The perverted female knight, bound into a caterpillar, wriggled her body on the ground, and said pantingly at the same time: "Using the bind skill on me at this time, making me unable to move while only watching, you still know how to stimulate my nerves as always…"

"Enough!"

Kazuma Sato shouted loudly, not only to her, but also to Wiz.

"Wiz, it's about time you showed your true skills, otherwise you'll be letting your opponent down!"

"You can't say that! The person who has been pursuing me so enthusiastically suddenly wants me to duel with him, how can I possibly do that!"

Wiz responded so tangledly.

— That's just your wishful thinking!

Before Kazuma Sato could say these words, Dick, who had been desperately casting spells, showed a determined expression.

"It seems you really are looking down on me!"

"I'm not, I'm not!"

"In that case, I'll make it so you can't be so leisurely! How about this move!"

After saying that, he conjured up a divine magic circle large enough to surround the entire cemetery, and Wiz let out a cry of pain the moment she was enveloped by the light.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch— — — — — —"

The sudden divine magic made Wiz a little overwhelmed.

Dick said loudly: "Alright! Hurry up and show your true skills, no matter how strong you are, if you continue like this, you will disappear!"

"P-Please stop, Mr. Dick."

Wiz had no intention of fighting back, and said as if comforting a disobedient toddler:

"Even if the form is not the same, this is the first time someone has thought of me so strongly… Honestly, I was a little happy to hear you say that, but no matter what, I don't plan to quit my current job. And, I'm not very familiar with you, so…"

The lich girl showed a gentle smile.

"If possible, can we start by being friends first."

Silence fell all around.

As for Dick, he had an expression of not knowing what he had just heard, and when he looked at the crowd to confirm what had happened, he found Yunyun and the others painfully covering their faces.

As expected, it was exposed?
