It's been a while since I broke up with Grandpa Les.

Relying on the map I received, I came close to Sheila's destination.

We are now on the path that connects the kingdom of Kuzela to the Holy Republic.

This road is paved and sandwiched between the woods on both sides.

It is usually used by merchants and travellers.

It's pretty easy to move around.

Also, the army is wide.

The question was, was it easy to get attacked by monsters?

I used my Spell Searcher, but the monster's signs never stopped. For that reason, only the escorted merchant or someone who seemed confident in his arms could cross.

There is no elevator.

There's another one on the street.

He is a young man who is reading books and scavenging.

Looked pretty alarmed - the monsters attacked.

The monsters were quite eye-catching.

However, I have captured the definite magical power of a young man.

I wasn't skilled enough, but I was able to do enough battle...... The monsters overwhelmed me lightly.

Hey, hey, hey.

I immediately chased away the monster.

I thought I could defend myself, but I seemed quite focused on reading.

"... nnh, thank you for this"

Oh, are you okay?

“No problem. I knew I had a habit of chasing after letters and forgetting about them too much..."

The young man picks up the glasses he dropped on the ground.

Then he stood up, grabbing the hand I gave him.

"Thank you very much. This kindness... hm?"

A young man stares at me in the face while wearing his glasses.

"What? Is there something on my face?"

Mr. Zid?

Oh, yeah?

Does he hate me, too?

I think about it half-reflexively.

However, the young man smiled plainly and looked like he liked me.

Well then, it's the second time I've been helped.

Hmm?

Who was it?

I don't remember it on my face.

"I was rescued during the Stillbeats War... no, is it easier to say this?" He is the son of a skewer butcher. My name is Aegel. "

She has brown hair and looks like a scholar somewhere.

Is it about the same generation?

Ahh!

When I was stillbeats, I didn't remember because I didn't see Roque's face.

I feel like I have the look of a skewer butcher.

Showing the gesture I remembered, young man Aigel looked around with a satisfied expression.

"By the way, what's the matter?" In a place like this? "

“I'm looking for someone. Sheila, don't you know?"

Show the blonde girl on the guild card and ask.

To be honest, I don't expect it. It didn't seem like a very aggressive personality.

However, Aigel nodded positively against his expectations.

"I know this person." I was just looking for you too, so why don't you come with me? "

"Is that so?" What is your purpose? "

It's a crusade. It's causing damage to Astaire.

I see.

Then I can't go with you.

To the extent possible, he is a competing enemy who must be captured unnoticed.

Oh, it doesn't seem to have the same purpose.

"Why do you think that?"

“Normally, I would take a slightly more positive attitude if it was for the same purpose, but in Zeid's case, it seems unfortunate and hostile.”

"That's pretty sharp..."

It's no longer a hassle to hide.

“Can you tell me what Zid's purpose is?”

Why?

It is unequal if we do not answer more than we have heard.

But we are better off with a lot of enemies.

It is not a content that can be easily spoken.

That's why I stood up.

However, she didn't feel distrusted by such an attitude, and Agel pushed her glasses up gently.

“I want to help. I owe you a debt, and my father is gracious to me."

Huh.

I can feel why it's thin, but it doesn't seem like it's a lie at all.

I took a rectangular magic item out of my pocket to prove my innocence if I read it again.

"I know where Sheila is."

It's a magic item. It has a small sphere in its four corners, and I want the rest to be flat.

The plane shows a map and red dots.

That's not all that's distinctive about it.

Thin threads of magic power stretched from myriad magic items.

I wouldn't even notice if I didn't look consciously.

“It looks like we're heading to a sturdy facility where treasures are stored, even within the Holy Republic. I remember that it was a place where Sufi-san was now.”

"... this red dot is Sheila? That's amazing."

"It's a limited magic detection. I'm picking this up as a landmark.”

While saying it, Aegel pulled out a diamond-shaped magic item again.

"Do you know where Sheila is with that?"

"To be precise, it loads magic patterns." At first, I didn't know about Sheila's magic patterns, so after several raids, I finally made her remember. ”

"I don't know, but it's amazing. But did you know that a limited number of people would come to this place?"

"No, this mother display magic item can be displayed elsewhere if you have a magic item that acts as an antenna beforehand."

Aigel will try and load the other maps. There are no red dots on it.

I see.

“Sheila's actions are seen as destroying Astaire. That's why I had the antenna installed in the Astea facility with the help of believers...? is this.....?"

When Aegel describes it, it blurs the magic items for display. The red dot was scratched out, and the map had changed before.

“What's the matter? Even the magic items were broken?"

"No, it doesn't seem to be broken. But it looks like something is happening to the magic items.”

"... I have to go anyway."

"I see. Sufi-san is there, and [that person] is escorting us... well, I think we should head there."

Aigel is on his way.

I wonder if we will only act together for a moment.

But the next moment, we were on a joint pace.

Aigel's magic items are useful.

And you've given me enough help to tell them.

However, there were doubts.

How does the son of a skewer butcher know the whereabouts of Spi, who would not have been known if he hadn't been a high priest?

But... I still have something I don't have.

And by showing this to me on purpose, you're showing me that you really want to cooperate.

Then I should believe it, too.

The skewers from the butcher are delicious.
