- That's it.

……

I don't know what to say...... I didn't know.

A story I have no idea, like it was recited all at once in front of me... can I even say that...

"... that's not realistic"

Yes... I had the same feeling.

The concept of "incompetence".

Titanomachia.

The true figure of the brave Roy.

War in the north.

Demons were starting to move without anyone knowing.

Fenrill calling himself God's use.

Dragon invasion.

And the darkness of Sumerian.

They were all stunned content.

Almost all of that, including what Mr. Lord is involved in.

However, what I have just mentioned is still understanding, to the extent that I can't imagine... No, that's why, of course, it's not a story that can be swallowed immediately.

But the last time I heard it, it wasn't at that level of understanding or swallowable, and I never thought about it at all...

"Uh... there's plenty of God... oh, no, you were there?

What is God to me...... a great being that gives me magic.

God is just a god, I never thought of being more than one, and something like this... a different dimension?

It's natural to be there, it's natural, it has to be... Anyway, I never thought deeply about God.

"Apparently so. I don't know what's going on right now, but it looks like there's at least two of us."

Uh... the woman who spoke from Fenrir's head and Hades who showed up in front of Dragon King Jolmungand... right?

I don't get pinned when I hear the name, but I hear people who have heard it once remember it.

How can you erase God's name from the world in the first place?

... Can you do anything because you're a god?

Or, a thousand years ago, there was a war between God, and so it's in its present state?

"Incompetence" seems to be a concept that was born a thousand years ago, so is there anything involved?

... In my head, I still don't think I understand.

"Anyway, what I just said is the status quo. Of course I'm not telling you to understand right now. More importantly now… what to do with this Sumerian darkness, including Tia and Asuna. Let's start there. You can go after him later."

Sure... now all I have to think about is the two of us...

Other than that, let's just keep it in mind for now.

"The story... well, I guess I get it. Including Sumerian. But one thing about Tia and Asuna this time... not that Sumerian did it, huh?

Oh, sure...

"I'm telling you, it's not like I want to defend Sumerian. If there were any other guys out there making those things work, it would be too late to help Tia and Asna. Isn't that a bad idea?

"I thought about that, too. You're right too...... but if I were those guys, the adventurers wouldn't be after me first. Especially now, there are tourists from other countries. It would be much easier to aim that way."

"... that makes sense"

"Oh. Perhaps a lot of disappearances of adventurers means you have to be an adventurer for a reason. I don't know what that is. Anyway, I want to hear from Cheryl first. The situation at the time. Some of it will be visible from there. Can you ask for it?"

"Oh, yes...... ok. Uh, I think that was about an hour ago from now... We were asked to collect and headed to the area where it is swarming…"

―――――――――――――――――――――

"Ngi...... puha! Oh, I knew I wouldn't touch you! Why?

"Heh heh... isn't that awesome?

I hear that conversation from Tia and Karen walking in front.

Damn, waste your magic again......

"Karen! Be as good as you are! You won't be able to use magic when it matters!

Karen's magic is powerful, but in proportion to that, she consumes more magic than usual.

In addition, the sun has sometimes been shallow since I was able to use magic, and I still used magic poorly.

"Wow! Damn, you're my mother!

"Oops!?

Hih, people are worried and saying...!

"Well... I thought this was an exercise, too. I'll give you a big look."

"Asna......"

That's sweet...... sweet.

Saying that...

"Ah! Something! Asuna sounds more like your mother!

You see.

Get on with it.

"... Tiaaaaaaa!?

"Wow! Your mother's pissed!

"Whoa! Let's get out of here!

"Ah! Oh! I'm not leaving much! Don't wait!

"... Phew"

I wish this day would go on forever.

I honestly think so.

That's why I want to save someone who's suffering right now.

"You should come with me"... that's what I want you to say.

No matter how difficult it is.

―――――――――――――――――――――

"There it is?

"Not even this way."

As we repeatedly interacted, we reached our destination, the southeastern Sumerian Forest... I hope...

"Was it a red, green and yellow petal?

"No, no. It's red, blue and purple. He said he needed the flower grass. It's the roots of these trees that grow."

To Karen's inquiry, Tia returns it that way.

Taking that, Karen looks around again......

"Uh... well, either way, no"

No matter how much you look, you can't find the herb you want.

Mrs Munn said we'd find her soon...

"That's crazy... there's a place, isn't there?

With that said, Asuna expands the map.

I peeked from the side too...... yeah.

Again, the place is not wrong.

Besides, there was another strange thing.

I said, "You haven't even met a demon yet, have you?

"Ah... Speaking of which, be careful because there are quite a few strong demons... that's what Mr. Mun said, isn't it?

Yes... that's weird too.

In the first place, even though it is a collection, this request is B-ranked because there are intended herbs in areas where many demons of a certain strength appear.

"Yeah, when you went into the woods, you said you should never be distracted."

"Hmm... for now, why don't you go a little further back? Maybe they took it already."

"Sure... that's possible"

"Oh my God, what can I do with Tia's magic? Don't you know what natural magic is?

"Hmmm... I don't know because that's not magic... I can smell the magic in the wind, but I don't know what that herb smells like, and I don't know if it's magical in the first place..."

"Anyway, we don't have it, so we have to move on. Here we go. If you have to, you can fly to Tia and she'll know how to get home."

"That's right."

So we went further into the back of the woods.

But I still couldn't find the herb, and there was no demonic appearance... and then -

"Hmm? Ah! Not that one!?

Responding to that voice, we simultaneously gaze in the direction Tia points to.

Then, in the middle of a slightly open space, a large number of colorful flowers were seen blooming.

"Red, blue... purple! That's it!"

"Huh... I finally found you"

"Right. Hmm? But where it does grow..."

Something catches on.

I don't know... this chest scratch...

"I don't know!

"Ah! I don't know!

That's what I said. I run out after Tia, and Asna runs out with me.

"Hey, wait a minute...... ugh!?

At the next moment, my vision was covered in white.
