More than a dozen minutes walking through the Spirit City talking to Palm.

There was a place called Spirit Fountain away from the residential neighborhood of the Spirit City.

A circular fountain, surrounded by trees.

Until I got here, Palm told me that the Spirit Fountain water was a very beautiful place, originally with a refreshing water color, and the greenery of the surrounding trees combined.

Where God likes it too, in fact, the place itself has a sober magic.

That's why they used it to refine their magical weapons and give them protection.

But the explanation is backwards,

"The water of the fountain is black and cloudy...?

The water in the Spirit Spirit Fountain that I reached was dark and cloudy. Moreover,

"... best friend. I can feel some poor quality magic from the fountain."

"Right.... Is this why you can't?

Palm nodded sadly when he asked.

Dirt "Yes. At the same time that the Spirit Path becomes unstable, it's nice to meet you at the Fountain. As you can see, if you work with refinement, the opposite has become the place where weapons deteriorate." "Do you know what caused this?

"Once, close to this, the spiritual path became unstable and the fountain became dirty. At that time, the magic of the fountain was eaten by the Warcraft."

Warcraft feeds on magic.

To that end, it may eat animals and humans, but this place called Spirit Fountain does not seem to be the exception.

"Then there was a warcraft near here?

As far as the surroundings are concerned, there is no atmosphere at all like there is a warcraft.

That's why I asked.

"No, I couldn't discover it even if it was looking. Having a" hunter "profession with the skills to sense warcraft is completely fruitless"

"I see... surely there is still no sign of the Warcraft. How's Daisy?

"I don't either. There's no magical trace of it."

Daisy has a high ability to be vigilant around because of her easy-to-target species called Carbuncle. That's more extensive than my ability to perceive simple signs, and I also know the existence of warcraft.

But you can't find Daisy like that.

"Do you have some kind of cover? Have you run away yet, or what? You haven't even figured that out yet, have you?

To my words Palm lowered his eyebrows, affirming with an unfortunate look.

"Yes. There are a number of anomalies, such as the destabilization of the Spirit Path, that have been pursued by various investigations... I know that the time of occurrence is the same period, and I have a guess that maybe everything is caused by the same thing... sorry. There's a lot of uncertainty."

"No, you don't have to apologize. I can't help it when things are going wrong."

Problems are not all that can be solved immediately because they are found. If you're investigating, you're doing what you do, so you won't have anything to apologize for.

There's just one thing I want to make sure of.

"... it seems that people in Spirit Cities in the human world don't know about this issue. You haven't been able to report it, have you?

The other information hasn't come here. I wouldn't have been able to send this information over there either. Asked for confirmation, Palm affirmed again.

"Yes. The spiritual path is unstable, and we haven't been able to secure a line for sending information. And there's a problem with opening up the spiritual path."

"Another problem?"

"Yes, I'm really sorry for all the problems"

"No, no, it's good.... What is the problem with that spiritual path?

When asked, Palm moved for a few seconds to lay down his eyes and think about something,

"Right...... no, from here on out, you're more certain to listen to those who represent this city, not from my mouth. Because it also manages spiritual paths."

"Representative? The master of the Spirit Alliance, Palm, isn't the representative of the city, is he?"

"Yeah, because I'm only the representative of the guild and I'm not ruling this city....... so it seems to spin around a lot, what, can I show you to that person?

Right. If it turns out that the fountain cannot be used as it stands, there is no choice but to stay here forever.

You'd better do it from what you can.

"I don't care."

Also, it's not just me, Daisy seems to agree.

"I have no objection either. It's easier to understand a professional story than to ask a professional."

"Thank you. Then I bring you both to the palace where the Spirit Princess reigns over this deep Spirit City of Involk."
