Then, just like we always did when we visited the branch, we decided to explore the stores we knew and the branches of the White Wolf store before heading back to our home and head office.

"... hey, before that. Mithril needs to be refilled."

"Didn't we still have stock for this month?

"I can afford it for the product. If you don't keep your sword in separate frames, the process will be complicated later."

"Hmm... so is that"

In the present Kingdom of Westland, misrills are allowed from collection to distribution and placed under the strict control of the Royal Palace.

This mining permit is given to me personally, so it is up to me to decide which possession of the Mithrill I collect is to be the White Wolf Shop or the White Wolf Knights.

However, if you later change the misrills you reported to use as materials for the White Wolf store to supplies for the White Wolf Knights, it will take a lot of extra paperwork.

Though the procedures necessary to monitor the circulation of Mithril, I have never gone beyond saving it if I can, so I am soul gutted to visit the branch and then complete additional mining of Mithril as well.

"(Well, there's a lot to do. If you've come all the way to the branch (here), it's the quickest way to pick an extra one and go home.)"

With that in mind, there was a voice calling us from the corner of the site of the branch, an arrow tip that tried to head to the "Millennial Corridor of Naruto" (First Labyrinth) where Mithril could be collected.

"Long time no see, both of you. I wonder if Wang Du had fun."

- The minute I heard the man's voice, neither me nor Garnett accidentally got up to it.

An unusual kind of white mask that ruins the superior atmosphere and excess on good quality clothes unlike adventurers.

Valentine Argentia - is one of Garnett's older brothers with two.

"You won't have to be vigilant. I didn't mean to interrupt you in any way. Satisfaction if you let me watch you faraway."

"... I'm just surprised. I didn't think we were going to bowl each other in this place."

"I mean, you haven't been home yet."

Garnett's leaked whine wasn't meant to make Valentine listen, it just seemed like what he thought had gone into the language.

The reason Valentine came to Green Hollow, it was to stir up Garnett's vengeance on Agate Lamb.

He was present as the person in charge of overseeing the site the day Garnet's mother was murdered, and instead of failing to protect Garnet's mother, he was himself severely injured by death.

I couldn't protect the person I wanted to protect - said this one upset Valentine's spiritual equilibrium.

And he sees Garnett's revenge as "the proxy of the woman who should have performed the revenge," and comes to teach her the latest hypothesis that Agate Lamb is lurking in The Ark of Elements, while satisfying her desire to see revenge burning again.

- Knowing what was going on around here stopped me from thinking Valentine was just a creepy person, and it wasn't like I didn't feel empathy for how I had led to losing my sanity.

That means we have to be surprised if we face each other at an unexpected time.

"Didn't you tell me you were staying for a while? As you know, my body is just like a joint. I want to take care of the efficacy of the hot springs in this land until I'm quite familiar with them."

It's called Yuji.

I hear that there have long been many visitors to the Green Hollow hot springs for that purpose, and I know that Valentine's flesh is not legitimate.

Even without the presence of a garnet, Valentine's prolonged stay in Green Hollow is in itself by no means unnatural.

"Besides, Ambrose, who was sent to your Knights, is also my attending physician. Naturally you want to stay close until your body stabilizes, don't you?

"Yeah, that's right"

Preceding to avoid strange misunderstandings, then mouthing the most questionable question that has come to my mind.

"But how did you get here? I don't think the Baths of the Alliance Branch are suitable for Yuji purposes though. I'm not going to get much rest because of the noise."

"This is part of the cure."

Valentine said so softly.

"The damaged part of my flesh is compensated by the warcraft factor extracted from the fragments of the medallion. I think that's why you're feeling better when you're in a magical environment."

"Oh...... I see. This' Sun Clock Forest 'is no stranger to being a dungeon, so the more you go to the bottom of the basin, the more intense magic you have in the soil and in the air."

"To come here for a few hours a week and be exposed to strong magic. I thought it was because of the attending's instructions, but it's a pretty good thing to think of as just a forest bath."

And Valentine shifted her gaze - her eyes weren't exposed because of the white mask - toward Garnet.

"Garnett. If you also want to temporarily house the Warcraft factor in your flesh, you should get used to (...) being (...) and (...) getting (...) used to it while you have time. An unfamiliar force can lead to your destruction."

"... is that a warning?

"Advice from good intentions. After I crossed my fists with you guys, I saw so much pain in my eyes that I thought my whole body would fall apart. I guess they should have hung [repair] without being mean."

"I'll remember your liver, brother."

Garnett had complex emotions but responded politely as if to put them on the table on purpose.

Perhaps Valentine would have advised me, but since the content of the advice was definitely appropriate in itself, I also thought that I should not poke around without listening.

Whether that's not out of human-like sanity, Valentine wants Garnett's revenge accomplishments, and he doesn't want him to force himself to do all he can on the way.

Ironically, Valentine and I are seeing a consensus only on one point.

Inside, I wrote down one project for my future plans.

Achieving tool development requests from Theodore.

Modification of Adamant's sword given by His Majesty.

And - it's a workout for the enhancement means that [fuses] Garnett and Medallion.

We need to prioritize things clearly, but if time permits, maybe we should also try a new medallion.

Except if time really allows it.
