On the fifth day of the ninth month of the one hundred and eighteenth year of the kingdom calendar, Lekan and Edda reached Mashajain.
It would have taken almost a month to travel from Palsimo.
Seems like it took a long time considering the usual Lecan travel speed, but this is because I enjoyed being on the road.
In the first place, Palsimo and Wangdu are connected by labyrinth streets, not bad traffic, but there is also a mountain in front of Palsimo, which takes about thirty days if you take the boarding carriage. Lekan and Eda walked on foot, and traveled separately into the mountains outside the streets, enjoying camping and hunting, and walking in an irresistible conversation when passing through the streets, so rather it can be said that we arrived early in these days.
On the road, Lekan tried to give Edda back the Rainbow Stone of Happiness. But Edda said to Lekan,
"You take that. You're lucky to be happy."
Lekan on Mashajane stopped by the Wazlov family, as usual. And I gave Manfrey Wazlov the fur of a white flaming wolf and asked him to tailor his leather armor.
Two days later, Manfrey told Lecan.
"Lecan. I'm sorry, but tailoring this fur to armor seems impossible at home. What kind of fur is this in the first place? No, you can see that it's the fur of a beast like a wolf. But no appraiser in my house could appraise what kind of wolf it was. Besides, the leather armorer said the blade wouldn't go through. They've never seen such a strange fur."
The armor materials Jerez once wore were Dylan Silver Steel and the Great Flaming Dragon (Urbanzam). Dylan, I still don't know what silver steel is, but I do know that the Great Flaming Dragon is superior to the Little Fire Dragon. If you're a senior Marquis, that's all the material you need. Even its senior Marquis family, the Wazlov family, said it was unable to appraise the fur of the White Flaming Wolf.
"I couldn't appraise you?
"Um. We also had a skilled appraiser at home, but he died two years ago. The heir is still young. There are better appraisers in the town of Mashajane, but asking there threatens to leak this fur information outside"
"Oh, I see. To keep it a secret, didn't you send it outside for appraisal? I appreciate that. This is the fur of the White Flame Wolf."
"What? Excuse me, could you say that again?"
"Sul van Jeh, the fur of"
"... does something like that exist? As it exists, is it something that can defeat the Divine Beast?
"The Palsimo Labyrinth is also known as The Wolf's Labyrinth because the White Flame Wolf is the patron saint of the town, but maybe once upon a time, the White Flame Wolf appeared. So it's no wonder you're out this time."
"I'm not sure what you think."
"This party was a good combination to call the strongest. So I managed to fight the White Flame Wolf. But honestly, I don't think I won. The moment I thought I put in a good blow, the White Flame Wolf disappeared and this fur stayed. I thought it might be like a bravery prize."
"... a white flame wolf is to be exfoliated?
If not even the Wazlov family, the Marquis of Mashajane, will not be able to tailor this fur to armor, no matter what town leather armorer is asked to do.
I'll have to ask Sheila.
"All right, Edda. I'm leaving for Voca tomorrow."
"Lecan, I want you to do something else for a while."
"Yeah? Where are you going?"
"To the king's capital."
"Oh, you're at Jerez's"
"Yeah, because they say I haven't had enough training yet"
"Well? Well, if you want to go, you can go. Learn how to cook well again."
"Yes."
"Ha. That's a great smile. Let me not hesitate to say that Lord Eda has also become a full lady."
"Just here. When you're traveling with me, it's the same tone."
"It is the lady who can use it. By the way, Lecan, when's the wedding?
"Wedding?"
"Whoa. Aren't you my cousin's fiancée? And Lord Edda and I are also fiancées. So I'm asking when is the wedding?"
"I see. You're getting married because you're engaged."
Sometimes I can't understand your thoughts.
"Marriage is a temple. That means the Temple of Kelles in Voca."
"There, if you like, would you like to hold a ceremony at the Temple of Yuminos in Mashajane? The Wazlov family will arrange all the troublesome preparations."
"Ho."
I just thought getting ready seemed like a hassle when it came to getting married, so this offer moved my mind a lot.
"I appreciate that, but wait, speaking of which, have you looked into the Temple of Yuminos?
"Oh. That thing. I thought I looked into it. The Temple of Yuminos was born with purification."
"Ho."
"So you seemed to want to meet Lord Edda for a lot of advice. Besides, there seems to have been an intention to make the presence of the new Purified Boy less visible by giving the famous Purified Boy a lift to Lord Eda and entering into a relationship."
"I see. What do you think you should do?
"I think it's a good idea to sell thanks to the Temple here. Yuminos God's protection is also available. We just need a little rush to make sure we don't get caught up in it."
"Then let's do it. Is that okay with Edda, too?
"Yes."
"I'm not going. Keep Edda safe."
"Sure. Let our house slaughter go the same way and put an armored knight on the escort. What, even the Temple of Yuminos can't sell fights to the Wazlov family. There's also the refuge of the Pharmaceutical Saint."
"How's Scalabel?
"I hear you're doing very well. The summary of the conversation records in Voca, in which you also participated, is coming to an end soon."
"Record of conversation?
"Is it a record of your conversation with Sheila, Marquis?"
"Ha. Exactly. My house was also allowed to provide funding. I'll take one copy instead. The Wazlov family should be the first to receive this book."
"Copy! Is that when the story becomes a book?
"Of course, Lord Edda. I still don't know what it is, but it is well known in its muscles that the clerics who took part in the visiting mission are leaking that it was a conversation filled with astonishing wisdom"
"Yeah."
"You don't seem interested in this kind of thing at all."
"Oh."
