Glory to Earth Magic

About a month has passed since the first resolution was made.

Weissman and the others were wary of the attack, but unexpectedly, there was nothing out of tune, and there was no unattainable assault on Arka.

And finally, Adult Ritual Day arrived.

"Nothing. You've arrived safely."

Flam says, like he clapped it out somewhere.

I've never been better off without a raid, but without it, it does feel like I've eaten a shoulder watermark.

The other person is the only one, but I can't stay alert yet.

"I'm sorry. The king is calling, so why don't you come?"

As we chatted, a soldier with a frank tone came for us.

It's due, and I'm guessing we need to talk about something.

We nod face to face and head to King Epitaph.

◆

"Thank you so much for the past month."

And king Epitaph bowed his head deeply, when he was gathered in the midst of the sight.

"Oh, no... we just fulfilled our request, so raise your head."

I have a heavy load on a small citizen, such as letting the king of a country bow his head, and I rush to raise my head.

"But they protected my daughter. Let's just say this is normal."

I've lived this past month and I know that this man is probably very courteous.

I treated him individually regardless of his status, and regardless of his qualities as king, I found him to be a pretty good person.

"So... right. It is true that the request was made in the form of an escort until today……"

King Epitaph has a hard time saying anything.

"Actually, yeah. I'd like to ask Alba, Aldi and Lord Gras to escort Alca to the ritual of adulthood."

Why those three? I thought, we were called to lean our heads.

"Um... can't we?

Ask that question if Flam has the same question.

"Mm-hmm. Actually... the ritual of adulthood takes place in a certain special place. The place is called a magnetite cave. Floors, walls, ceilings in caves… all powerful magnetic fields."

I generally understand it in that language.

"So, other than the earthly attributes, you can't even move properly, right?

The human body also contains iron.

Of course, we don't stick together with normal magnets, but that changes the story when it becomes a powerful magnetic field that goes off track.

If you are a human of earthly attributes, you have the art of fighting it, but other attributes do not go either.

Therefore, King Epitaph must have nominated us as earthly subjects.

"My royal family is bound to belong to the earth for generations to come. Therefore, we can also go to the example cave. If you can go back to the cave, you will be considered worthy and recognized as the next king."

I see.

I don't know how strong the magnetic field in that cave is, but if you have enough strength to go and come back. If not, it is judged to be unqualified as a king, and the right of inheritance is taken away?

Sure, it could simply be a good way to identify the ability of earthly attributes.

Nevertheless... is it a soil attribute all the time? In this world, you would have had a narrow shoulder inside.

Still, it must be thanks to the arms of the kings of history and the magic ship technique that has come to this day as a nation.

"Okay. I'll take that story."

"Um, I'm sorry. Others should also take their time on vacation."

The air of the others relaxes slightly in the words.

The Weissmen were wary and tingling all the time. I have no choice but to relax a little.

"Ah, it's finally over -! I'm really glad there's no Weissman raid."

"Well, as a weasel, I can't get credit for my martial arts, and I'm a little unhappy."

"When you say that, it can be a flag, so you better not say it, right?

Fore, Nobunaga, Kirier, etc. speak up as they please.

Over the past month, we've been living together, creating a strange sense of union.

These days, Flam seems to be finally getting used to Justina, too.

I wish we could all keep doing this after defeating Weissman...... Nah I dream.

Sure, these guys are originally enemies trying to revive evil gods and destroy the world.

Except for some perverts though, I don't think these guys are very bad guys.

Of course you don't work in front of us for blatant evil.

She's a saint to Killier. Oh, naturally, Liebe is out of the question.

"Well, it would be helpful if Aruba and the others did their support quickly. Alca, get ready."

"I understand. Father."

For that reason, we quickly prepare to head to the cave to perform the ritual of adulthood.

◆

"That's why this is the cave. Some of these demons are unaffected by magnetic fields, so we need to be careful."

Riding on a hovercraft, after traveling for about an hour, it is so explained to the example Frank soldier.

"The demons are strong enough for you... are you okay?

"Don't worry. We've been diving quite a bit."

Even if he doesn't, there's Mr. Gras and Aldi here.

As long as there is nothing wrong with it, it will be fine. My only concern is about the Weissmen.

"Roger that. Well, we're waiting for you here, so please go."

Wait in the desert? I don't even know how long I'll be back, but I'm having a hard time.

"Okay, I'll be there."

When Arka bows her head to the soldiers, she enters the cave.

We'll go inside after that, too.

"Oh ⁉"

The moment I get in, my body snaps against the wall due to a powerful magnetic field.

I see, this is certainly not possible except for the earthly attributes.

I activate the magnetic field area (the magnetic field) on my body so that it is not affected by the magnetic field.

From here, it is hard inside because the demons also have to be exorcised while escorting Arca further.

Aldi has no problems because he is a body that does not receive magnetic fields in the first place.

Mr. Gras and Arca were also magically able to move normally.

"Gentlemen, is there a problem?

We nodded at Arca's question.

"Now let's go to the back. On the road, the escort would appreciate it. I don't know... fighting is bad stuff."

"No, leave it to me when it comes to combat."

"Yes, yes! Whatever, we're better at that!

"Um, I'm going on a big boat."

That's what we say to Arca.

"Thank you."

Arca laughed nicely when she heard us.

◆

Then head to the back as you deal with several demons of the mineral body.

As it seemed, it was just a waste of hard enemies, but from what we have now, it is no different than a miscellaneous fish, so we proceeded without much difficulty.

Even Arca said he wasn't good at fighting, but he didn't want to get in our way. Besides, the magic technology that can normally move in this cave was something inside.

Sure, if I could clear this cave, I wouldn't be ashamed of myself as a king.

That's how we came to the lowest level.

"Perhaps this is the lowest level. Open this door and I think it's a goal."

In front of me, there was something like a giant Sphinx sitting, between Sphinx's legs and legs...... I mean, there was a door on Sphinx's body part.

"All right, let's get inside."

"Wait, no."

Nope, I can hear voices from somewhere trying to get inside.

"Aldi, did you just say something?

"Hmm, you didn't say anything, did you?

"So, Mr. Gras?

"It's not even me, is it?

So who is it?

"Above"

As we tilt our heads, we hear voices again.

When I followed that voice and looked up, how dare Sphinx look at me?

"From here on out, you can't pass without answering my question."

"Ask?"

To my question, Sphinx nods to Eagle Deep. I mean, you snort.

Even though it looks like a material stone. Well, isn't it rude to say that in the fantasy world?

"Until I came here, it was a measure of my magical qualities, my strength. And here we measure wisdom. If you don't have the knowledge, you can't do it."

Sure, I don't like a retarded king or anything.

I mean, ask in Sphinx, it's betty again. Sometimes it's a surprise.

"Um... Am I the only one who answers?

Arka asks if she was anxious to answer.

'Of course, others may answer. It is also the king's qualities to obey his best men. "

I'm not a subordinate, but that would be fine.

If everyone has the right to answer, we might figure it out.

'Each person has the right to answer one question at a time. If they all come off, they are disqualified. Okay, here we go.'

To the words of Sphinx, we swallow Gokuri and spit.

'Question one. Four in the morning. Two bottles at noon. What's with the three-legged creature in the evening?

Hmm?

Hey, what is this...?

"Nah, that's... that's hard."

"Hmm, I don't know."

Arka and Mr. Gras are greatly troubled, but no matter what you think, the answer is yes.

"Hey, Alba. This is the answer………………………."

"Yeah, I think it's probably the one I'm thinking about right now"

Aldi's been talking to me, so I snort.

"Um……………."

"What? You got the answer?

"Ah, Yes. The answer is human, right?

This is too famous for the planet.

Four in the morning are babies walking high. Two at noon are adults walking on two legs. The three of the night are old men with canes.

'… Correct'

In that word of Sphinx, Arka looks here as impressed.

"Mr. Alba, that's amazing! I can't believe you solved such a difficult problem right away!

"Ha, well."

Because it's a famous problem on Earth. I'm not going to say anything, so I'll respond appropriately.

'Okay, second question. A child took a break from the school using a pseudo illness. When a child is resting at home, outside the window is a cow named Mo...'

"Pseudomonas."

This was another famous story, so I'll answer it in the middle of the problem.

"Ki, you…… what are you going to do, answer in the middle of the problem?"

Sphinx talks a little grumpy about whether he didn't like being blocked from the issue.

"No, well, because I get it. So, what's the answer?

"Let it be, you're right! Then the third question! The answer is simple. Ah... '

"Easy"

"Guuuuuuuuuuuu! Correct! '

Once again, he is answered quickly, and Sphinx seems to regret it.

Yeah, that's it. Wisdom. You said something big, but it's an elementary school classmate.

I lost it because I was nervous.

Then again, I will solve every single thing I've ever heard on Earth.

"The final problem……"

said Sphinx with a slightly tired tone.

... maybe a little too much bullying.

"King of the history of the Empire of Kubatha… among them, answer the name of the king who was a woman"

What...?

Come here, it is the history of the Kuvasa Empire.

If it's the history of the country I lived in, it's hard to tell, but when it comes to this country, it's hard to see.

"Hmm? What's wrong? Can't you answer that? Ha-ha-ha! Then you are disqualified here!

Until just now, Sphinx talks in a very happy tone when he sees me stuck with the answer he was answering right away.

Mm, annoying! Damn, you're laughing like you took a ghost's head off!

"Uhm, I compliment you for coming to the final issue, but you are here too" … "hmm?

"From the old order, it's Cleo, Yokihia, Cuccolo, Onocoma. If I become king, Alcaria will be added."

Yes, I did! Arca was the empress of this country.

Naturally, I am familiar with the kings of this country's history, etc.

"Hehe, I didn't learn history from Dada. Even so, I encouraged the King and I to study as much as possible. So? Is that correct?

Arka laughs at Sphinx.

This princess. You have a good character inside.

'.................. Correct'

After a long silence, Sphinx opens the door when he says so to squeeze it out.

"Now, if you take what's inside, go home!

Sphinx doesn't say a word after the last time he yells like that.

"... I don't know, him? You did something you're sorry about."

Arka says so with a sorry expression on her face.

Well, it's a trial, so I don't think you have to worry about it.

When I went inside like that, there was a pedestal in the back of the room, where the ring was placed.

"This is the ring that will pass to the royal family………."

The ring had an emerald on it and some kind of crest on it.

Maybe a royal crest or something like that.

"…… So let's go back."

Arka turns to us and says, "I think you've been staring at the ring for a while."

"There's a magic team over there, so I think we can go home from there."

Arka must have listened beforehand.

After looking around for a moment, I point to a magic formation that glows white.

As per Alca's instructions, when we ride in the magic formation, we are surrounded by white light, and we are flown to the entrance of the cave.

"Empress! Oh, my God!"

When we come back from the cave, the example Frank soldier rushes closer.

"I've just been informed of the situation by a decree... but the Imperial Capital is under attack!
