It seems to be spring.

When I'm in Vulcania, I don't understand the season.

It exists in a place called the sky and is higher than clouds.

Besides, there is not much change in temperature due to the fact that ice absorbing stone statues have been installed throughout the city to relieve the cold.

However, on the calendar, it seems that it is already spring on earth.

Lie on your Vulcanian parents' beds while thinking about the future.

Meem's help made my body more poisonous. [M]

In parallel, sword training continued here.

There will be no more preparations to go east.

Finally.

I will leave the kingdom of the sky.

The reason is that I learned about my birth. [M]

At that time, Mr. Ars said, "Decide how to behave in the future," and decided to leave the country and go east.

However, in retrospect, there is also a slight question as to why I have to be kicked out.

But I also have a split feeling that this is better.

Because Vulcania is too peaceful.

It seems that Brother Ars and Brother Hector are pleased with this peaceful world.

The United Kingdom of Fontana on the ground is still experiencing considerable controversy, but it has nothing to do with it anymore and enjoys a safe and secure life.

Temperatures are unchanged and there are no storms.

With a huge spiritual stone equivalent to the labyrinth nucleus of Atmosphere, it is a flying land with abundant crops.

Using it, animals that can now be eaten as meat can also be grazed.

I wonder why.

The people living in this country basically lived a stable life.

You can't live without working all day while you're asleep.

However, it also meant that it was irreplaceable if not bad.

I'm just alive.

It seemed like a life without any stimulus.

There is everything in this country, but there is not enough stimulus.

That's what I felt when I came back from studying abroad in Brillian Magic Country for a while.

It may also be related to entering the Labyrinth.

A battle that strikes at the target with a clear aim for your life.

I even miss that stimulus I don't know when I'm going to die.

I think I want to fight. [M]

I want to go to war.

And I want to maximize my power.

This country is too boring for that.

If we go to the east, we will be able to satisfy that thought.

(Hmm, I don't think so.)

Did you say something, Norn?

(Yes, I did. If you stay like this, you'll die, Alphonse.

-Why? You don't know that.)

(I understand. You're certainly strong, Alphonse. It's just a matter of age. At my age, I have the sword's arm, and I have a little magic. But that's all. There are many stronger people in the world than you. If you go out into battle as a mercenary, you will fall in the middle of the road.)

(It's okay. I have eyes and I have Norn.)

(That doll certainly seemed to work. But it's not enough. Look, Alphonse. I'll tell you something good. There is an upper part. But why don't you come with me? I don't know if it's poison these days, but you've been doing all kinds of weird things. If that happens, you'll die.)

We are only a few days away from heading east.

At such a time, Norn said such a thing.

What the hell is this?

I can't believe you said something like water, even though you were so sad.

However, I sometimes nod to the contents.

I suppose so.

My abilities are generally known in the Magic Labyrinth. [M]

I was able to defeat the Cavalier or Baron Magic Armor.

But I didn't try to fight any more of them.

But there are many people in the world who defeat stronger magic uniforms.

I don't know how strong there are people in the small countries group.

However, like the aristocracy of the Brillian Magic Nation, some families have built up their marital relationship over the years and increased their magic amount.

These people are born with a lot of magic.

And that amount of magic has a huge impact on combat power.

Norn must have advised you because he knew that.

If I head east with my strength now, I'll hit a big wall eventually.

I have to say that, from Norn's perspective, I am still underprepared. [M]

(But what should I do? Even now, I train my sword every day, and I try to increase my magic amount. After all, it doesn't work that fast.)

(What if I said yes?

What's going on?

(What if I told you there was a way to get stronger?

(... is there such a way? Of course I want to know if there is one. What are we gonna do, Norn?

Make a deal with me, Alphonse. That way, you'll be stronger than you are now.)

A contract?

You suddenly said something strange.

But how can I be stronger?

If that's true, I want to know.

I thought so. I decided to hear more about Norn's contract.
