Though chased by haste, the last time I looked back, the Magic Birthday Festival ended with a huge buzz. But when the festival is over, the routine returns.

There is also the aftertaste of a definite response there. When the usual days also came back to the kingdom, the stage was the City of Magic.

So again, a new turning point in history was about to be created.

Magic City, I was on a plain a short distance from that city. Besides me, I have all the faces of the Magic Bureau.

Apart from us all wrapped up in one place, it is Charne who stands a little further away. There is a bow in Charne's hand.

That bow, unlike the one commonly known in this world, is similar in shape to the bow used for archery where I say it in my previous life.

The grip part with the bow incorporates demonic stones, indicating that this bow is a demonic prop at first glance.

"Charne, whenever you want."

"Yes! I'll start!

Sharne replies loudly when Tilty, who was watching Sharne, speaks out like that. Are you nervous, that voice is somewhere stiff.

For once, Charne pulls out her shoulder strength to weaken while holding her bow. After several deep breaths, she slowly opened her eyes and set her bow.

――――

At the end of Charne's gaze, a target is set up. The other hand was attached to the erected bow as Charne left his gaze undisturbed.

Though I called it a bow, no strings were stretched on the bow held by Charne. But a magically crafted arrow is created in Charne's hand, and when you connect that arrow, a magically knitted string appears.

Pull that string, and Charne sets the aim. At the next moment, the demonic stone of Charne's bow shines and the thunderous sound begins to sound.

At the same time, the lightning generated converges into an arrow of magic, causing the strings that Charne pulls. At the same time as the sound of thunder, a strange sound of disturbing magic strings sounds, resulting in an odd concertation.

――――

You set your aim, Sharne's expression changed. When Charne tries to release the arrow, thunder runs from the tip of the arrow before it does.

Thunder struck the target as it drew intricate curves. At about the same time Charne unleashed the arrow.

Flashing blasts, making sure to delay and the sound of a lightning strike shivers the tympanic membrane. And the next thing I heard was a crushing sound.

And the arrow unleashed by Charne was struck, and he was crushing the target by making a grilling decision. Having seen the whereabouts of the arrows he unleashed himself, Charne remains quiet while letting sweat pass on his cheeks.

Even if the remaining discharge, like remnants, is released from the bow, it disappears quietly. The silence after the roar hurts my ears so much.

- Brilliant.

It was Tilty's voice that broke the silence. The moment I heard Tilty's voice, I rushed out to Charne.

"Charnay! Wow, that's amazing! Success, success, great success!

"Hia!? Oh, that! Sister Wang, calm down...!

When Sharne is held tight, Sharne scratches the algae in her arms. I can see it's lit, so I still love it and hug it.

"Good day, Charne. Success above all else."

"Mr. Tomas......! Um, stop Her Royal Highness Sister Wang......!

"... you can't do that"

Tomas is also walking over and putting words of labor on Charne. Though I laugh bitterly at Charne's plea.

You're embarrassed by the boulders, you're more resistant, so release Charne. Pimp, Charne, distanced to jump, rectifies her messy hair and then turns back to Tomas.

"Thanks also to Mr. Tomas and Mr. Tilty for their hard work"

"Yeah, yeah. When I came back from the Magic Birthday Festival, I was surprised how rough it was."

"Oh. Then I repeated the fine-tuning... because this demon bow is complete."

Demonic props that have been warming up the idea for Charne to be able to use Fenrill's demonic stones for a long time. When using natural demon stones, the user's magic was repainted by demon stones, and experiments and errors continued to be made to solve the problem of difficult control.

It was this "demon bow" that took shape as a result of its trial and error.

"I don't mean a bow, but I can't say it's just a magic wand shaped like a bow."

Tilty also stopped by and said so, staring at the demon bow.

"Isn't Mana Blade something similar when I say that?

"If you're referring to an optimized form to use magic to suit the medium, maybe so. Still, what took shape was quite emotional."

Ho, exhaling, Tilty shifts her gaze to Charne. Tilty's gaze at Charne sounds oddly fun.

"Of course, I'm proud to say that we've done all we can to develop it, but most importantly, it's the first time we've achieved it with Charne's control. You can put your chest up for this."

"Yes! I've been doing a lot of research on the magic of thunder and the nature of the dyeing magic of demon stones since then... I'm really glad I succeeded"

Is the relief greater than the joy, Sharne said so as she stroked her chest down.

"But you magically substituted arrows, too? At first, I think we were talking about preparing an arrow painted with spiritstone."

"Yes, but that's no substitute for consuming spiritual stones after all, and it would have been convenient to release staining magic out of your body if you'd just molded it properly,"

"I see."

Even if I say that I can suppress the consumption of spiritual stones if I use them for paint, I want to suppress them more if I don't need them. If Charne is convinced to magically substitute it, that's fine.

"It is also a derivation of Mana Blade, so the power and shape of the arrows depends on the adjustment of Charne, the user. It's fixed to the shape of an arrow, but for that matter, you can think of more power and range than normal magic."

"Yeah, yeah, Tomas still does a good job!

"Master Tilty lent me Charne's arms, ideas, and wisdom. I'm just tailored."

Thomas tells me to be humble, but I think it's only because Thomas will face it sincerely.

Thus, a weapon using natural demonic stones, the first prototype No. 1 of which, the demon bow "Keravnos", was completed.

"Now to celebrate the completion and success of Keravnos, the first of its kind, with the Demonic Stone by the Magic Art Bureau, cheers!

Cheers!

A loud and bright voice, or modest toast, is chanted and the glass is lightly beaten.

Urban government in the City of Magic, one of its rooms is lined with more opulent dishes than usual. I am free to eat and drink dishes and drinks served in Viking format.

The completion of Keravnos, which became the first prototype, a small celebration to celebrate it. Everyone's expression was somewhere loose and calm.

"Hey, that was really hard somehow. I don't really contribute to the production itself. Charne and the others are really tired."

"No, no..."

"Gakun is doing his job properly because my escort is my main job. The development is Tomas and Tilty's job, so it's the right material."

"Yeah, that's a pretty tough experience for me. It's not bad, you know."

Gakkun praising Sharne, and Sharne being mojimoji about whether it is lit or not. As I was exchanging words with the two of them, Tilty came shaking a glass of wine.

You look like you said you were drunk, and the white skin that even seems unhealthy is a bit vermilion stained. My eyes are only slightly down, and the atmosphere is rarely very soft for Tilty.

"I got away with some birthday procedures, so the development was going to rely on Tilty and Tomas along the way, but I guess I'm a little sorry for all that"

"What are you talking about? Even more so now, or for a long time. You can't do your job properly. You're sharing it with someone else. I'm royal, so it's more natural."

"I wonder"

"Yeah, I guess so."

Is that true, if you ask me? Even Mana Blade couldn't prepare all the swords herself, and the production relied on Tomas, and the magic potion she used before using the engraving marks was formulated in collaboration with Tilty.

I suppose that's surprisingly little of a feat I've accomplished on my own. Yet I could look back now that I hated people, that I was ashamed of being alone, that I was young.

"... something like this is good after all"

"Hmm?"

"I can honestly rely on someone I can rely on, chasing my dreams with, talking to each other like this, laughing at each other."

"Not very sentimental. Are you drinking?

"Just a little."

I was also impressed by the sight I saw at the Magic Birthday Festival, but I really enjoy celebrating like this with all the magic bureaux and making something together, and I think it's irreplaceable.

Would you ever have imagined that such a future would come to you before Uffi came out of the palace?

Yeah, I don't think so. Because I didn't know society, the world, and even my neighbors so much that I could hope for such a future.

"Seems like I knew and there's a lot I'm missing"

I have a real sense that I enjoy life very much right now. There are people who can share this joy with me. Every time I feel that happy, my cheeks are really loose.

What would Yufi be doing now that he has made such a difference to me? We're returning to our daily routine after the Magic Birthday Festival, but it still doesn't make a difference that we're busy every day.

"Speaking of which, Dear Anis, I heard that the City of Magic is largely nearing completion, but next time I heard there was some big move?

"Oh, yeah. Actually, we decided to attract the Chamber of Commerce and then set up a branch of the Adventurer Guild. I got a letter from Uncle Drags and myself the other day."

"An Adventurer's Guild branch to the Chamber of Commerce, huh? It's going to be like a city all at once."

The supplies that come into the City of Magic until now were purchased from what the Knights carry, regular visits, and pedestrians who took their feet on the journey.

That's where the Chamber of Commerce was founded. The shape of the City of Magic has been shaped, and it has been decided for a long time to talk about putting a Chamber of Commerce in the City of Magic as the honorable first item of the Chamber of Commerce that made its name at the Magic Birthday Festival.

The Magic Birthday Festival came to an end, and the chosen Chamber of Commerce also needed to decide who to send to the branch of the Magic City. The King's Capital told me that it was ready.

"If the Chamber of Commerce is going in, think the Adventurer Guild would be a good fit around the time. I've decided to send someone out to the branch, and I'm planning on coming in at about the same time as the Chamber of Commerce."

"It's not going to be busy. I'd like to keep information on demons for future development."

While some demonic information is spinning by knights, there is also the difficulty that it is hard to get out without urgency.

Getting information from pedestrians and adventurers there is also an important source for me. As an adventurer, I've been searching for demons with information I've heard from people.

Besides, I had something I wanted to look for. It is desirable that the Chamber of Commerce and the Alliance of Adventurers come in for this purpose.

"Good things, I wish I could find a demon stone that seems to fit Gakun"

"Oh... you couldn't have said it was a demon stone in your hand, could you?

"Yeah, that's right. So next time, Navre's artificial demon stone demon props will take precedence, and that's why he seemed a little depressed."

"Hey..."

Tilty squirms her gaze at me when she drops her voice and tells me to whisper. Ahead is Gakkun stroking Charne's head laughing.

"... if you can't find it, can you just give me the artificial demon stone thing?

"Um, well, I guess so. Honestly, now that Keravnos is complete, I don't know if I need to use the Demon Stone to make it. If you tailor a magic stone to a magic prop, it will become a specialty."

"So is that. Well, all this is a patrol thing. It's not something you care about."

Pong, slap me on the shoulder and Tilty says. It was Tilty, who does all the unusual things today.

"... Tilty, are you real? Actually, can it be fake?

"Do you want to get hit?

When I inquired about the snack, what returned was an elbow beating that had no power other than Tilty and the others. Oh, this guy's just drunk and out of hand! It hurts so bad!

With all that little noise, the whispering feast was going to be fun.
