Munou To Yobareta Ore, Yottsu No Chikara Wo Eru

"The Golden Generation..."

That's certainly the same as Mr. Zwed......

Um, I don't know if I should tell you yet that I know Mr. Byrne or Mr. Zuid.

I don't see why Mr. Berg is looking for that person, and I still often talk about this person... I don't think he's a bad person...

"Why? Who are the ladies looking for?

"Huh? Oh..."

I guess that's okay to say......

"Well, I'm looking for a girl named Cheryl."

"Cheryl......?

"Yeah. Our friend. I know you went north, but where are you... What's wrong?

You look amazing...

"Oh, no... I thought it was a name I heard somewhere... I can't remember. At this age, I can't even remember seeing or hearing people's faces and names once. Well, it's not a rare name, and it's probably my fault."

"Really? Well, how old is Mr. Berg?

It's 43 this year.

"Oh, I thought you were a little younger"

"Oh, you'd be happy to say something. Where are the ladies?

"Oh, I'm not asking Lady how old she is, am I?

"Ha ha! He's funny... like, 17 or 8."

"Pfft! Well, you know what?"

"Nevertheless, we don't even know where each other is. I didn't know we were looking for him... that's a strange edge"

"Besides, it's like this in a place like this"

"Ha ha! No... hey, if you like, why don't you come with me on the way? Thanks for the help, and keep falling, but I think it'll help a little?

"That's right..."

There's no reason to say no... I mean, if I leave this guy alone, he's going to wreck again.

But this guy does...... he's pretty strong.

Until earlier, I didn't know because I was losing my mind, but I don't have half the magic that's seeping out of my body right now.

Besides, I'm a veteran, and I think you have more experience and knowledge than we do... maybe you'd be grateful to be here.

"... yeah. I'm fine. And then it's up to our leader."

"Oh well. I hope the leader likes it too..."

"Tier, give me a hand!

"Ah, yes! Okay, I'll ask you."

"Oh, please"

I went under Asna, who was cooking in the carriage, and told her that I had spoken to Mr Berg.

"I feel like... What do you think?

"Isn't that nice? He doesn't seem like a bad person. Besides, I'm going to be wrecked again if I leave you alone. That guy."

"Ha... right"

Looks like Asuna was thinking of something else too.

"Nevertheless, I wonder why Mr. Berg is looking for someone named Mr. Skirk."

"Come on? You want to hear it?"

"Hmm, I was wondering if you could answer... Mr. Berg, don't you think he's hiding something?

"Huh? Why?

"When I heard your name earlier, it was a moment, but there was a time, wasn't there? At first I thought it was because I wasn't clear on my head yet, but after that, I was talking normally, and there was a weird time when I asked if I was an adventurer. So I was wondering if there might be something I can't tell you."

"Uh..."

Sure... maybe when they say that.

Well, we have something to hide from Mr. Berg, and it's natural that he doesn't trust us yet, either.

"For now, let's eat. I need you to get better soon, and I want you to get along because I'm traveling with you. Suddenly, you shouldn't ask."

"Right! Sasu is the leader!

"I don't know what's just... I mean, since when have I been a leader?

"Fine, fine! I'll carry the pot!

"Nor..."

"Berg! It's okay!

"Ooh! That's great!"

"Pfft... we're getting along already"

After that, we toasted with vegetable soup and deepened our rapport as we caught fire.

―――――――――――――――――――――

"Oh, I see you."

"Wow!"

"White with snow... it's a beautiful town"

"That's Frost, one of the northern doorways we can use now."

A week since I met Mr. Berg.

I managed to see the town safely even though I couldn't get along because of several snowstorms after that and it took me a lot longer than I expected.

The town of Frost, seen from the summit of the mountain, looks very beautifully brilliant, either because it has been a long time since people could feel the breath, although it was bright white with previous views.

"Does that mean there's something else?

"Yeah, it used to be common to go straight north of the capital if you were going north from Nieberg territory. Beyond a few mountains. So, there was a town called Cold Shoes, and before that, it was the north entrance and relay base. However, there are many demons and dragons on that route, and the road is pretty steep. So, Nieberg and Olympus jointly searched for new paths and pioneered the two routes we now have. Asuna, open the map of the world."

"Mm, yes."

"Thanks. So, this is where I just went through. It's the road that takes the name of the town and is called Frost Route. It'll take some time, but that's the easiest route."

With that said, Mr. Berg points to the mountain range just north of Focken.

It was us heading north following Cheryl's trail, but we'll completely lose sight of her along the way.

So we decided to go north anyway, and we heard about this route in the village where it was on the road.

"Nh, this is the cold shoe route. It's just north of the capital, Nibelg."

Mr. Berg's finger now pointed around the middle right side of the map.

There's also a picture of the mountains, and I can see the letter Cold Shoes small ahead of it.

"So, this is Hyoldrut"

Finally, the finger heads left and points to the mountain range northwest of Olympus.

"Hmm...... just those three?

"There's something else, but it's going to be a far more dangerous route than the three I've just mentioned. Let us say that the earth to the north is protected by this group of mountains, and there is hardly a flat place. Just a few flat paths, and a nest of demons and dragons. Sometimes adventurers seem to escort them at their request, but there's a good chance they're losing their lives. So it's basically a guy going north through one of these three. Well, it's still the Cold Shoe route that lets you go north in the shortest distance, but if you prioritize safety and convenience, it'll be the Frost route you just went through, or the Hyold route northwest of Olympus. I just can't use Hyoldrut right now."

"Why?"

"Rare's army and Tea Turn's army are staring at each other around here. I'm fine with getting around the cold shoes, but I'd rather not go west any further. If you go to the front line, you will be chased without suspicion. Because of this, both Frost, which we see now, and Cold Shoes, which was once the gateway, were originally a town ruled by the nation of Teeturn. But they both belong to Rare now. I mean, that's all the tee turns are being pushed in."

"I knew... the war had already begun..."

"... oh yeah"

The voices of Asna and Mr. Berg were sounding somewhat sad to me.

That's what I was feeling in the distance, and now it's there as a reality.

Apart from this cold, my body trembled a little.

"Even so, it's not like the military is bumping into each other from the front. Of course, there are small skirmishes every day, but the number of casualties is still counted… Rare is not a direct attack, it means he is alliing Teeturn's nation with force and finances and is gradually expanding its territory. But come here, it's starting to stop."

"You stopped invading?

"No, I didn't stop, I just simply stopped working."

"Is that because the other five major nations have emerged?

"There's that, too. Already Olympus and Celtic have sent troops north to try to stop the war in a neutral position. Greece was in on it, but with Armenia's demise, I had to prepare for the Dragon Clan. I'm pulling the army now. Nieberg hasn't acted on his face, but it feels like he's moving under the water to such an extent that it's not irritating. But that's probably not the only reason Rae stopped."

"Hmm...... like I'm out of money or something?

"Oh, that's a possibility, too. But there are two main reasons that are being considered right now. One is that the country near Tea Turn that remains now did not fall back on Rare unlike the rest. We've been dating longer than our saddled nations, and I don't know if they're still loyal, or if they're holding any weaknesses... well, maybe it's because the other five major nations have come out. So, here's the other one… it's a demon weapon."

"A demonic weapon...... what?

"It's a generic name for a weapon that uses demonic stones. Of course, I use rare, and Greece has a weapon called" barista "against dragon demons. So, what Teeturn uses is a demon stone doll... the so-called" so-called "golem."
