"It's pretty big around here, one building at a time."

That's the first thought I had when I entered the neighborhood of the Divine Tree.

The outer periphery had the impression that the houses and shops were lined up and busy, but as we got closer to the Divine Tree, the businessness decreased and it felt like there were more buildings with a calm atmosphere.

"Right. The neighborhood of the Divine Tree is home to many of the researchers of the Divine Tree, magic science guild associates, and people who have been watching the Divine Tree since ancient times. And then there will be the magical protection of the Divine Tree, so maybe some of the rich people who asked for it will live there."

"I see.... but it sounds like a district where there aren't even many signs of people in the house, is this normal? 」

"No, it's usually quiet, but I haven't shimmered this far. It has a more soothing atmosphere, but it doesn't feel like that at all..."

I don't hear much living noise from the surroundings. I look at Baselia and the others walking behind me.

"I can barely even hear you in my ear. Looks like no one's walking around here."

"Just like Hydra. I don't hate this kind of tranquility, but it's unusual."

They haven't felt any signs of people either.

... Cecil and George seem to be in such a baffling state, too, and I wonder what's going on.

With that in mind, I tried to walk out toward the Divine Tree again.

That's when.

"- Chikazkuna......!! 」

Our own front.

Such a voice echoed from the shadow of an alley connected to the street. Furthermore,

"Before this, it's a twinkle dome......!! 」

Gashangashan, and made a noise, and a four-legged beast appeared from the alley as if it were made of iron metal.

"- Huh!? Is that a metallic warcraft, the merchant said?... or some kind of golem? 」

"I feel some magic...! 」

Cecil and George both look at it and start putting up arms aggressively.

Indeed, the surroundings of the iron four-legged beast seemed to be clustered with intense magic, with puffy floats like iron spears.

There's no reason for you two to be on guard. It's just...

"That's..."

From me, that iron beast didn't look like anything to be wary of. And it seems the same over there,

"Ah...? That voice and face could be...! 」

With the words, the iron beast dropped the iron spear that was floating around him to the ground and approached him.

With that, I get close, too.

"Oh, hey, Mr. Axel!? It's dangerous..."

"No, maybe this guy's okay"

Saying, staring at each other's faces, for a few seconds.

"Yeah! I knew it! 」

From the iron beast - precisely, such a bright voice came out of the iron armor.

Using that voice as its starting point, the iron armor falls to the ground with gash, and the contents appear. And

"Best friend! My best friend's, isn't it Axel -!!"

I jumped out of something like iron armor and hugged you on this shoulder.

"Oh, you're right. That armor is your exterior, Daisy, the brave man of smell."

A yellow four-legged beast (Carbuncle) with a body about two turns smaller than a fox and a jewel shining in its chest - the brave man of smelting, that human being.
