"Uh, that's over here"

"Mmm."

"What do you say? You got it?

"Like this?"

'Yes, yes. That's as long as it takes. "

"Okay."

We were just cooking on a plain in front of the depleted forest. I don't know if I'll have time to cook when I get into the Wolf Plains.

In the huts and kitchens made of earth magic, fire magic, hydromagic and wind magic will be used to mass produce dishes.

Fran is helping too. I can play with something else, but for some reason, they pushed Fran's motivation switch. No, maybe by helping myself, I just want to get to the Devil Wolf Plains quickly.

That's how I kept cooking in the cabin, and the sound of the entrance to the cabin being knocked.

"Who? The brave men approaching here. '

In fact, there were several signs of adventurers wandering around here. It's just too suspicious of a stone shed that suddenly appeared on the plains. In the end, he ignored it and left.

If you try to get any closer, you'll notice a wolf sleeping in front of the door. Even with an obedience certificate, it's powerful, and those who were there for the robbery get away with it. If you tried to exercise your strength, that would be the main show of the watchdog Ursi.

But normally knocking means I somehow flexed out Ursi. There was no sign of a fight, so maybe you know him?

'The signs are for one...... The magic is pretty high. You're not a rush level adventurer. Who?'

"I'll see."

"Oh, please."

Fran ran a tattered little run and went to look at the door. Though an impromptu cabin made of witchcraft, the door is attached for once. Well, it just cuts the stone like that and makes it look like a door. If it's Fran's arm strength, it can be opened - or it could be a flaw.

By and large, I didn't envisage really using that door, and I was going to finish the dish in about two hours and get this cabin wiped out with earth magic.

I tell Ursi to throw it back, except in cases of extra urgency. Exceptions are when adventurers and travelers are chased away by warcraft or something.

But will there ever be a crisis around here? It seems strong to that extent.

"Fran, what do you say?

"Mm-hmm. It was Alistair"

"Huh? Alistair? Um? '

"Mm. Alistair"

"Er... you can come in for now"

I'm almost done cooking. All that's left is a wash or something, but that's fine later.

It was really Alistair, a divine blacksmith, who led me into the cabin.

"Hey Master. Long time no see."

'Seriously, isn't that Alistair? What's wrong with you? In a place like this. I thought you were in the kingdom of Verios.

"It was supposed to... Sense the battle between the swords. I can't stay or not."

"Oh, speaking of which, does Alistair have some sense of where the sword is?"

I guess that's why you also found out that I'm here.

"Being open makes it possible to feel it even from quite a distance. I know there was a reaction around the king's capital in the kingdom of Kranzel."

The kingdom of Berios was a country in the northeast. If you do go for the King's Capital from that way, it won't be strange that the area around Aretha is a passage.

'So you're saying you're on your way to find out about the Divine Sword?

"That's the thing. Hey, doesn't the master have any information?

"Nothing I know, I'm getting caught up and dying. No, should I say it's about to break?

"What? Can you let me know more?

Hmm. Well, it's about the Divine Sword. You should keep it in Alistair's ear. In a way, it's kind of like the people involved.

'Okay. Then let's talk about everything we know'

"Helpful"

That's how I told Alistair about Fran's adventure play from the moment I got to the King's Capital to my trip.

……

"What's up, Alistair?

"No, I know exactly what Fran is up to, but we need to talk about the God Sword at heart"

"Oops, sorry."

There was too much heat on the way, and I was just talking about Fran. Once again, I make them talk about what they know about Fanatics and the fierce battles that have followed since Groundlers appeared.

"Fanatics... I didn't know it was completely doomed and operational."

Seems like he was half-destructed and couldn't use his powers.

"Still, Fanatics talked? As far as Atashi knows, there shouldn't have been any such function in that sword."

"It's my feeling, but I think that was a collection of different human thoughts, integrated into Fanatics"

"I see."

Exchange some information like that.

"Has Fanatics been completely destroyed"

"Oh, well, I'm sorry..."

I know Alistair has strong thoughts on the Divine Sword. If you destroyed it, how would you react... But there is no unexpected feeling of sadness in that face.

"... no. Fanatics, which have become merely a mess of disaster, cannot help but be destroyed. Besides, it's the corner of the Abandoned Divine Sword with my master. I don't blame you."

He seems somewhat pitiful, but he's also convinced. I suppose you understand that when it comes to fanatics that have maliciously manipulated even their own equippers and become a mess scattering, there is no choice but to be destroyed.

"When I destroyed Fanatics, I absorbed that power by eating together... From Alistair's point of view, is there a change?

"Hmm? Change? In the case of the master, I don't know if I have to analyze it carefully..."

'Oh, no, that's gonna take a while. Excuse me.'

"What's the hurry?

"Well, sort of."

After this, I plan to find out all my secrets, but I don't know how far I can tell Alistair.

I feel like I can tell you everything, but I don't know who they are... If it concerns God, is it permissible to divulge secrets to Alistair in a detour?

It hasn't been stopped, but on the contrary, wouldn't it be such a nuisance to Alistair? The other person is God. I don't even know what the hell kind of reasoning or the way you think.

'Actually, after this, there's a place I have to go. So maybe you'll find out a little bit about me'

"What? Is that true? Speaking of which, this was close to the Devil Wolf Plains."

"Oh."

"Knock. If there's no such thing as a divine sword, Atashi just wants to go with me... You can't ignore a pseudo-fanatical sword."

For a divine blacksmith, pseudo-fanatical swords seem to be an issue that cannot be left alone. Speaking of which, I had a broken pseudo-fanatical sword. I guess I'll give this to Alistair.

"This is the pseudo-fanatical sword."

"Nah! You had it!

'I just think you're losing your ability, though?

"Hmm. Still, this is..."

Alistair did the analysis gently, and sighed.

"Huh. No. I don't know if the incapacity was the result of destruction or because the body disappeared. If something like a Fanatics split stays, there's no chance that he'll do something about it."

I honestly didn't think about that. I thought I was done knocking down the fanatics body...... Is it certainly possible that the pseudo-fanatical sword remains independent?

"I knew you wanted more information."

'Right...... Speaking of which, a blacksmith manipulated by fanatics to join in making a pseudo-fanatical sword wanted to meet Alistair'

"Hmm?"

"It's Garth, an honorary blacksmith in the Kingdom of Kranzel. You know what?

"Whatever. They say you're the closest thing to a divine blacksmith."

'I think Alistair would be welcome, so please listen to me. Give me and Fran's name and I'll see you soon.'

"Okay. Could it be that you know who your master is?

Well, I have to teach you that, too.

'Oh. I took care of you. My sheath, my blacksmith who built Fran's armor. "

"Right! Speaking of which, you said a blacksmith named Garth made it! I must apologize for that. I've altered my work on my own."

"Well, when I see you, I'd love to hear from you."

"Okay."

Garth's request to introduce me to Alistair has been accomplished unexpectedly quickly. I hope all of a sudden a divine blacksmith comes to see me and doesn't lose his hips.

"That's right. Fran's an adventurer, isn't he?

"Mmm."

"Want to hand it over to an adventurer of rank B or higher?

"Hmm? Why?

"Actually, I have a little favor to ask. It's a very simple request, but the reward is good enough. I guarantee the identity of the client."

"Even though it's an easy request, do we need an adventurer above Rank B?

"Well. The content is simple, but it is also difficult in other parts? Adventurers who have personality difficulties even if they have a high rank are a little troubled. So I was wondering if Fran could introduce me to someone she knew just fine."

I see. But an introduction or something...

"I'm Rank B"

"What? It used to be Rank C, right?

"Mm-hmm. I went up in the king's capital"

"Right! Hey, what do you think? Why don't you do me a favor?

"Hmmm......?

"No?

"I'm going to do my training on the Devil Wolf Plains. In the meantime, I don't have time for extra requests."

It wouldn't be the same as doing a little request in Aretha.

"Nothing, it doesn't have to be right away. My client told me to bring them in within five years."

"Five years? That's a very long request."

"I hope you think that's about as loose a request as that"

Alistair explains the request, but I don't think it's for Fran in a way.

"Opponent of a mock fight at the School of Magic?

"Oh. They're kids - well, some of them would be older than Fran. Still not that strong."

That's all right. On the contrary, even if it's very strong, that makes Fran happy. But it's not like working out adventurers in Sparta, is it? I don't think I'll serve Fran.

"Nothing, I don't mind a little too much. Instead, before you go into action, it's a good experience to lose. Well, the reply doesn't have to be now. If you feel like it, please."

"Okay."

Should I think about it when I finish my studies?
