"Alice, could there be a way to break through that strange electromagnetic whatever field up there?" I asked Alice, who appeared by my side.

"Hmm, perhaps through the combination of Mana Disruption and Void Wielding Arts, but even then, I don't know for sure." She sighed. "Not without risking destroying the tree and burying everyone here alongside it."

"I guess we'll have to find another way then. Maybe those golems know something that could help us. They did say something about a device committing an error of sorts. And then saying that we weren't their slimy friends."

"Slimy friends?!" Asked Pyuku. "So maybe they want to see slimes? Buy why… Just what's going on?"

"We'll find out soon enough." I stood in front of the house, gently knocking the door.

Knock, knock.

"Err, hello?"

"Who is it?" An innocent voice answered.
