Shadow Brave's Readventure - Re-Tale of the Brave

A space that was originally supposed to be a desktop myth that has a completely different nature from the real world, the imaginary domain. In response to the fact that the material was discovered by accident, Kaito suddenly organized an investigation team. Kaito learned that the "dream mine", which used to be the material of the two-wielding sword that was his partner, was a material in the imaginary domain.

Then you enter the "Dream Paradise", a labyrinth (dungeon) that appeared underneath the Zema Mountains where there is thought to be a "dream mine", and you reach a huge mountain where the "dream mine" is mined. So, with Celestia's help, we went deep into the empty cave in the mountains.

……

Looking at the rainbow light emitted by Celestia's prayer, they concentrated on their surroundings and formed themselves so that they could react whenever and wherever they wanted. Then, when the light that was emitted like a wave was emitted dozens of degrees, a faint but reflective light returned.

"...... Is it still deep?"

"Yes... that's still pretty far, too"

Celestia nodded to Kite's words, apparently assigning an approximate distance from the state of light. Well, it was her routine to train everywhere. I was getting used to it.

"About a kilometer away..."

It's so close to the limit, isn't it?

"I haven't been able to practice lately..."

Celestia seemed a little depressed by Imina's words. Nevertheless, I am here because I knew it. That's why we continue to go deeper, relying on Celestia's reaction, and Tina suddenly raises questions.

No, Ceres, I have one question for you.

What is it?

"You did say you were a shrine maiden, didn't you?" Originally, each of the eight artifacts had one person in charge. Didn't you say that there was only one shrine maiden? "

"Not exactly one shrine maiden, but... I'm pretty sure that's true."

Exactly because there are twins, it is not possible to respond exactly one-on-one. Later, Celestia responded to Tina's question by saying: Nevertheless, it was true that there was a shrine maiden and the person in charge, so I proceeded to talk about it.

So, your master is the shrine maiden who used to use this weapon, and your sister-in-law is in charge, right?

"Yes... that's why I can only release Lector's weapon incompletely."

"That would make more sense than taking that form. There is a kind of seal on the artifact beyond the reincarnation of the original protagonists."

I'm the one who's supposed to be in charge. Tina accepts Celestia's words as a reason as she looks sideways at Kaito, who waves her hand flutteringly. So it was something else she wanted to ask.

Can shrine maidens besides your lord resonate with you?

"I can do half of it." Among them, I was the most qualified, so I was chosen as < >. "

When was that?

"Um... there were signs of an invasion of the Demon Realm, and our ancestors were trained... that's why..."

When did it happen? Celestia remembers when she took over the role of Shrine Maiden in response to Tina's question. Imina tells her that.

"The omens of the invasion of the demon world were confirmed about twenty years ago, and the Seven Dragons Council decided that there could be a full-scale invasion fifteen years ago. We have gathered talented people from all over the world while our predecessors took command of the defense.”

Oh, that's right.

At the time of this omen, Celestia was still a little before she was born, and Imina was a little close to her heart. In this way, Imina was chosen as one of the legendary knight families and one of the selected knights as the guardian of the next shrine maiden. That's why Kite asked me one question.

Is your ancestor dead?

"No... you're still alive." However, we were gathered because it was originally a shrine maiden and a person in charge as a ceremonial role that did not consider the invasion of the demon race. That said, everyone was strong enough.... "

I see. Apparently, it was a matter of political judgment. We think so about the generations that Celestia speaks of. Therefore, Quon asked with an interesting look.

How strong was that?

"That's right... if you're going to comply with the Enefia standards, you're all rank A." Is the Shrine Maiden Rank B? "

"Heh... it's the most beautiful place in the country."

"In fact, when it was peaceful, the person who won the swordsmanship tournament was sometimes selected as the person in charge."

In the first place, it was the artifact left behind by historic greats. There were times when it was peaceful, and it seemed that both the shrine maiden and the master were looking for various elements other than battle. Kite laughed at this.

”That's right, it's going to be a big swordsmanship tournament... there's going to be a lot of other competitions.”

"It seems there was... it was opened nearly thirty years ago..."

"Was it before that... and I can't say what I'm capable of right now?"

Yes.

In fact, Lector is the strongest region in Enefia. It was no different from Celestia's other worlds, and the others seemed to be similar. Likewise, I heard about Lector because of the rumor of the wind, and Quon opens his mouth.

I see. If there's a lot of people in that realm and they're struggling, they're pretty powerful.

"... yes, it was unusual strength, such as a Legionary or Division Commander." I wonder how much it is to be a demon king..... "

Haven't you seen it?

"The Demon King hasn't shown up yet." However, according to legend, there is a demon king or super demon king above the demon king. "

Celestia sighed deeply in response to Quon's question. I was forced to fight at a stage where I didn't have a Great Demon King or Super Demon King. I could see the current state of their alien world. That's what I'm talking about, but there's someone here who won the battle against the Great Demon King and the Super Demon King. So he opens his mouth.

"It was a special world where the Legion Commander was allowed to call himself the Demon King... and that Legion Commander finally won the fight in Nichi."

Did you fight?

"By the time I was a kid... well, let's compare it between this general and the corps commander."

"During that time... you're strong." That's why I said, "Nichi."

Since the kite became a legend at the time, its strength is likely to be on origami. The man finally won the battle with someone two-for-one. At that point, I could see how strong it was.

”Well... well, I was stronger the second time ten years later”

Are you doing it twice?

"It was the first time I was a sharp soldier." The second full-scale invasion... it's a little different now, but it's roughly the same. "

Oh, I see.

According to Kite, Quon understands that Celestial Demons have the same policy as Kite. It was discovered just ten years ago, and a few years after that, the invasion became full-blown. It was the [Another Kite] battle that gathered all the forces together.

Well, that's how it feels.

"That's right..."

I see. Looks like it's going to be tough over there. Quon understands roughly from the current situation. That said, it was a story about what it was because I understood it, and that's not the main theme of this trip in the first place.

I was just worried because I had time and I was visibly hiding. That's why we've been talking about nothing but love in such a way for a while. Repeatedly searching for Celestia several times, she continued on a path disguised as a rock wall and finally made it to the depths.

"... from now on..."

"Hmm..."

After several prayers, Kite touches the rock wall that blocks her path as she looks at the tip of the light that has returned from the end of the rock wall to become a glorious light. Then, as if there was nothing - there was actually nothing - the hand pushed through the rock wall.

"Oops... this is a fake."

How about that?

"... I saw it. It's a big win."

It was Kaito who poked into his face, but I made it clear that he had found the object with his thumb up. That's why he cuts off the phantom he had covered with his sword and slashes at the phantom of the rock wall.

"Hey... this is a strange sight, it's a strange sight"

"It looks like nothing." But the glow denies it... it's certainly a strange sight. "

Thieln also agreed with Tina's impressive words. After all, the "dream ore" is also an ore, so at the time it is buried, it has a slightly different shade than the surrounding area, but the "dream ore" before refining is almost a colorless and transparent ore.

Therefore, unlike, for example, iron ore and numerous gems, at first glance it was like nothing. If it hadn't resonated with Celestia's prayers, it would have seemed that the rock walls were simply shredded, exposing the rough skin of the rock.

"I've certainly never seen a phenomenon like this before... but the question is, how do you mine it?"

"That's right... Ceres." Lord, how did you dig this up? If you've been here before and brought back the [Dream Mine], you can mine it. "

"Ah... by the way, how do you do it?" I was only here before when I came before, so... "

"" "... what?" "

I thought Celestia had known how to mine it before. The impression was particularly strong because Celestia knew how to find it. So it was thought that the awkward air would flow, but before that, Kite opened her mouth.

"Wow, wow." I didn't think I could do that in the first place... fuuu... "

What? Can you do it?

I'm part of that family, and I can't resonate with a necklace like Ceres, but I've done mining before.

With his eyes closed and his consciousness focused, Keitu instantly concentrated his magic power on his arms and floated a pattern reminiscent of a dragon.

"Twin Dragon Marks, release... haha"

Ng. Kite dropped her hips and slammed her piercing hand into the vein of the [Dream Mine]. Then the divine light overflowed, and the "dream mine" spilled as if it had overflowed. Kite picks up one of the spilled shards.

”Speaking of which... I don't want to do it with my bare hands, but...”

What are you supposed to do?

"Originally, it was made in the" "Dream Mine" "or something." Now I've used my former power to forcefully scrape it off. "

Apparently, it's not acting that hurts. While handing Tina the [Dream Mine] fragment, Kaito waved his right hand - the one who let go.

"Nnh, don't you think I should just scrape it a little bit more in the future?"

Oh no, and even the tip reinforcement is enough.

I see.

Kite sighed loudly as she clung to Soleil again. Apparently, the whole vulture didn't have to be made in the [Dream Mine]. From his words, Tina guessed it too.

"I see... well, the purpose of this time is to sample, so this is okay." Lord Thieln, how about you? ”

"Well, I'm going to take care of the McDowells for a while, so I guess that's enough for a sample." Ambra, what about you? "

I'm a geologist in the first place, so I have enough for now ~

That's right, too.

Thieln agrees with Ambra's response. Meanwhile, after adjusting the position of Solaire, Kite picks up the spilled [Dream Mine] fragments again.

"Ceres, is this all right with the necklace?"

"Ah, uh... yes. I thought that would be enough. Don't go so far as to refine it with precision."

Celestia took out the necklace in response to Kite's inquiry and nodded. In this way, they decided to acquire some of the raw stones of the "Dream Mine" and leave the cave later.
