Magic Gems Gourmet

Well, Silvado's seriousness was more than others think.

I didn't know you were even bringing Lloyd, but Ein was surprised, but he only took that Lloyd to the guild and made him act as declared.

At that time, Lloyd, who made the statement, thought the guild leader would be reluctant.

In fact, the matter of the twentieth layer was a source of stray for the adventurers as well. Because we don't have the means to cross that hierarchy of oceans, and how do we get to the twenty-first? and because no answer had been found. There were several options, such as bringing in magic props, or using magic -.

But the information that the king and his son had struggled was more than anything else.

About the evening of the day Ain woke up.

It was when his body was getting back on track and being able to walk.

"The demon stone was causing a rejection. So I guess it feels like His Highness's body has discolored and become irritated by the effects of just letting go of consciousness...... Only if His Highness is right."

Serra, who was coming to check on me, sat on the couch and said. Ain sat down opposite her, and behind her was Dill, who had just returned.

"Heh... you mean my demon stone?

"That."

"It's the first symptom I've ever heard."

"Really? It should have been all the time in the experiments we were doing at Ist."

Maybe so if you ask me.

Nodded Ain put back on the jacket he had previously taken off and closed the button.

Seeing that he was convinced, Serra, who hid her face with a mask, rose out of her chair. Stretch out your back and then walk out the door.

I'll be around.

"Thanks for today"

"It's okay. I already got the money."

She puts her hand on the door knob and leaves with a light foothold.

Then the previously silent dill approached Ain.

"Take this."

and hand over a few documents.

"You have nothing to say to me, check this out first"

"... don't you get angry later?

"I won't. I've seen Mr. Ain do things that he can't do more than once, and it won't change where he said something. Just in case, I don't dislike this. I just do what I can for Ein."

Dill said that much and laughed.

A relationship of trust that you wouldn't otherwise cultivate in about a decade.

But this was normal between the two of us.

"Let's get back to business. You may not read your report."

"Huh."

"Because it was all Ein's guess."

"Oh, you know what?"

"It was necessary to take a trip to a remote area to correct the deception, but there was no great cover-up. It is a cover to the extent that you can if you put a lot of money on it, especially without any hand-wounds. I wondered if he was going to hide it."

"I guess."

Even if I didn't give the details, it was actually something I thought I would have done from the beginning.

Ain't got his eye on the report just in case, laughs contentedly.

"I think the experiment that was being conducted in Ist is also about the artificial demon king."

"Isn't that supposed to be confidential?

"So he's not going to hide it."

Concon and the door were knocked so as to anticipate the approximation.

Immediately when Ain said, "Go ahead," it was Krone and Olivia who showed up.

When Dill bows his head to Ain when he sees it.

"I'll come."

He went to open the door and left the room mindful of them as they were.

Olivia and Krone, who show up instead, immediately come to Ain's side and think they're going to sit face-to-face or occupy both sides of him.

"How'd it go?

Krone asked worryingly.

"I sucked a little strange magic, and the demon stone was causing a rejection."

"... are you okay now?

"I'm fine. I'm sorry I bothered you"

Krone is also as familiar as Dill.

But what worries me, I shake his hand and leak his exhale, which I said was okay.

Relax, I'm getting my usual girlfriends back in my face.

From the other side of her, Olivia was looking up at Ain.

"I'm glad you're safe. Ain't no different that Ain't brave and nice, but don't be too impotent."

Olivia never says "stop".

So were a lot of emotions messy, but I wondered if that was the word for Ain, because I felt like I couldn't snort.

It was a grin of the Virgin who was everywhere full of mercy and was about to fall in love.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

The first layer of divine hidden dungeons.

The new place that was built in the basement was surrounded by a different atmosphere than before.

First, in a nutshell, it's a library. The circular library has high ceilings and spiral staircases along the walls.

Bookshelves on one side of the wall contain books that cannot be counted.

There is no stone material in the dungeons that has ever existed, and it is as luxurious as the nobles seem to live in.

There were traces of people living here until recently.

First, on the lowest level down the spiral stairs, there is a fireplace, which is preceded by two wooden euthanasia chairs. The fireplace was warm with the fire on no matter who put their hands on it, and the shaky orange lights lit the surrounding area.

There are no bookshelves around the fireplace.

Books, clothes, and wooden dishes dropped all over the carpet.

- - The time just went around nine o'clock at night.

To this place, Ain was taking a leg with Dill.

"The adventurer didn't carry the book."

"They say the guild is stopping it. If it's a valuable book, it needs to be handled with caution."

"I see."

Why is Ain in the basement acting under a proposal?

Now there are Silvado and Lloyd on the first level. I'm still in the middle of a conversation with my guild rep. Ain't here on the condition that those silvers get out of work.

In nominal terms, a bookshelf survey.

He said that a diligent Ein might be able to get some information.

Before his impending return to King's Capital the day after tomorrow, he has obtained permission from Silvado as his last job.

"As I was asking, there's not a single demon and there's no sign of it"

"Yeah, I hear the adventurers were confused, too."

This hierarchy, which is quiet enough, still feels like a sacred place.

Something doesn't seem like a divine dungeon.

It's hard to compare, but this is a warm space.

It should not be by the absence of a fireplace, but by the person who created this place, or something calm and gentle conveys and does not stop.

What's the matter?

One book that was falling on the floor, Ein took it.

"- I can't read it"

It was a completely unintelligible letter, but similar to the ancient Ishtal letters that Majolica read.

Speaking of problems, can't Ein read them?

If I had any information on the dragon men and Lyle... I would have thought so, but it seems difficult.

"I'll collect the books too, so please don't let Ein leave here."

"Mmm, thanks."

Dill leaves Ain.

Ain, who was looking at his back, sat in an euthanasia chair and looked at the fireplace.

Warm.

Comfortable warmth came through twitching.

"There are two chairs... someone, you know."

Were people still living there? Assuming it is, who else would it be besides the Dragon Man?

There's no answer to thinking about it, and Ain't just melting his heart into warmth.

(- That)

Found it unexpectedly, a keyhole in the back of the fireplace.

You got a key in there? Exactly. Ein wondered, too.

Unexpectedly stand in a chair and approach, but when you get your hands on it, it's going to burn just fine.

I can stop the fire, but it won't be long before I think of it.

"Don't think about it in common sense."

"Oh, what can't you do?

"Wow!?... don't talk to me suddenly because I'm surprised."

"I'm sorry. By the way, I've been going over some books."

That's what Dill said and put the book on the floor.

"Read it. whether or not you can read it."

"I was wondering if I could get some information."

That's what they said, they looked over an affordable book, took it in their hands, and then sat down in an euthanasia chair.

Then.

"Dear Ein! What's glowing on that chest...... ugh!

"- Huh?"

Ain's chest glowed unexpectedly, inviting surprise.

The move stopped abruptly, even as Dill, who stood in the chair with momentum, tried to rush over. As if it had been ice pickled in an instant, without any foretaste.

Of course, Ain't surprised to see what's going on.

"Dilu!"

The moment Ain't stood up tried to run over to Dill.

From Ain's chest, a small key appeared to fit in his palm and floated in the universe.

The key slowly moves out and heads inside the fireplace. When I reached the deepest keyhole, I stabbed it in the keyhole with no one's hand, Katan, turning up a small noise.

Then the fire in the fireplace quickly goes out and the road that leads to the back appears.

"............... now"

Maybe the light I saw when I fought Verguk?

I got the key in that fight and it was an item to use in the library that showed up in the basement.

Ein, who felt a cause and effect that he could not ignore, touches Dir more than that. But he really doesn't have any signs of movement, and his eyes with them open don't look like he's blinking.

It's a symptom I've never seen before, like I've been stopped every hour.

And Ain't even gonna try to lift Dill.

I couldn't even try to get up and out of the spiral stairs.

There's no sign of help coming, no sign of someone coming, even if you wait a few minutes.

"Do we have to move on"

When you never go inside the fireplace, what was in the back was a small room.

It was a room of noteworthy size that seemed to be in a civilian house.

However, there is still something that catches Ain's eye.

This place is still as well built as outside the fireplace, in a room with good conditioning.

There's a bed just right for one person to sleep in, and there's one tiny desk next door. On the desk was placed a slightly larger tablet than Ain held with both hands.

Later there is a book with a leather cover that shines with artisan skills.

I'll try to get close to my desk.

Until I approached him, I wondered if he was wearing clothes. Things were a little different.

It was a robe with sleeves hanging on the chair, and on the desk. Nice touch, beautiful robe with gold thread on the pale.

"It's weird... it's like someone fell asleep at this desk"

And it felt like only those who fell asleep disappeared and only the robe was left behind.

If you look closely, there is one that emerged in the robe.

When Ain reaches out and rolls the robe, what was there is an empty demon stone.

"That's where he was breathless."

And a voice that reaches from behind.

"After losing power and dying in a tough life spanning thousands of years, the Demon Stone itself was again out of breath. Unlike Sylvia's, her demon stone has lost its power."

"... who the hell is this person to say she is"

"Not a god called Ishtal."

"Ishtal?"

"Dear Left, I am the goddess of time, called a particularly rare species among the Divine Family"

The Lord of the Voice says even more.

"Take the book."

When I'm told but I keep it in my hand, the cover of the book is still an illegible letter.

If Ain't smiling bitterly says "I can't read it though".

"It says' Record: About the Giant God '"

Ain listened quietly.

"The Divine Nation is troublesome in nature. It's the hassle of losing your self and going wild when someone else takes your life. Verguk didn't leak into the example again, losing the battle and losing himself - technically, by storming right before he died, it's a reinforcement to avoid total death."

…………

"After that, Verguk, who lost his self, was decided to crusade by his guild. But there are those who differ in it. That's Ishtal the goddess. Because they were in love. Well... Ishtal believed Verguk would go back to normal, but you can say there is no such precedent"

Her voice gradually approaches Ain's back.

"Then Ishtal ran away. I took Verguk and came to an island where no one lived far away. We decided to build this fort by fleeing to this land, where the Alliance's influence is dim, and to do more research to cure our lovers. Then some time passed, and the land became known as the Ishtal Islands"

"The Ishtal Islands you were talking about..."

This means that this is the origin.

Ain't surprised to hear unexpected information, but unexpectedly sober.

"Lord, I didn't know it would lead to God's killing."

Said the letters that were written on the status card, Ein grins bitterly and scratches his head.

"The one you asked for. And then there's all kinds of questions, including the purpose."

"Hmm."

"Whatever, it didn't seem like he was going to hide who he was at all,"

And Ain finally looks back here to the voice behind him.

"I'm not a child. He that is near shall call by that name."

Then she quietly removes her mask in front of Ain, who stepped on it saying it was no problem.

My hair turned silver, and so did the voices I'd heard so far.

I knew it, laughing Ein looks at her and says.

"I think I found out about you personally for the first time - - Mr. Sella"

She tilted her neck with a cologne as Serra tickled.

Close your eyes and open your mouth as you scratch your cheeks.

"When the name is given to" Mr. ", it's a good idea."

What a powerless word he returned.
