Known as the birthplace of King Allegro is Cape Zerze, north of Ville-Zentra, at distances such as half a day on an early horse.

"I'll be back tomorrow!

Osama the early horses who brought in three Hikaru, Lavia and Paula - Osama the early horse in this world is usually a tannic Osama - waved away when they told him so.

The day is still high.

The streets —— Hikaru and the others lowered their hips when they found space that seemed to allow them to rest by the road, which was a lot rough to say.

It is a light lunch with the lunch I brought.

"I'm just tired of riding a horse. That makes it a lot easier when Koo was around. The shortcuts in" The Way of the Dragon "are so handy that they cheat too much"

Then Lavia pounded,

"Koo, how are you?"

"... it seems pretty pissed off that I went through there on my own, but, well, it's not okay. It's better to find evil in Grand Dream Continent than that."

"It's about that, but dragons are God's use, standing like, right? I was wondering if it was unnatural that you didn't realize that evil was spreading so much on that continent."

"Right —— why do you think Lavia is?

"Mm-hmm. Dragons aren't almighty, so there's a mistake."

"As far as Koo is concerned, it's far from Almighty."

"Hehe. Don't worry about Koo."

Kou is treated a lot better.

"So -- the dragon is only a god-supporting being in this world, and I wonder if that's not much different from us"

"The same creature... a creature made quite strong, you mean?

Lavia nodded.

"I have a slightly different idea, but in terms of the same creature, I guess it's just like Lavia."

"Which neighborhood is different?

"Hmmm... if you pepper the words of Kou or any other dragon, they are beings who live in heaven and carry out God's will, feeling close to God's presence"

Yeah, yeah. Lavia nods.

"But while we have the power to deal with the 'Holy Demon', what we can do is not so different from what we can do. We can even use it for the Sacred Devil —— we haven't found an efficient use yet. There are differences, of course, between dragons and other organisms, but on the contrary, the differences seem to fit in the same degree of width as the differences between humans and animals. I mean, they're not close to God or anything."

"Then why do the dragons call themselves' Messengers of God '?"

"They are long-lived and have tremendous power. electorate consciousness, it's not strange to have an idea close to it, even if you don't say so. I guess it was easy to understand and they thought, 'We are the ones who are close to God'. But that over-consciousness is a weakness for dragons. So I don't even realize I've been backed by the evil ones."

"... God for Hikaru, what is it?

Until then, Paula pinched her mouth in silence.

For her, "God" is a subject she has believed in since she was young.

In this world we can reap the benefits of "God" through "soul cards" and "guild cards", therefore church officials serving God need not question their faith.

Dragons that appear in books about God are close to God for Paula and the others.

So what Hikaru says about "dragons are with other creatures" is a dangerous idea for the Church.

"God is the backbone of this world. That's why dragons with 'will' can't be family members of God."

"Why shouldn't dragons have 'will'?

"Because 'holy' and 'evil' are both worth it in this world's system, I wonder. Both 'Holy' and 'Evil' appear the same way on my soul board, and I can wave points the same way. If 'evil' is not a good thing, so must the soul board."

To Hikaru's mind, "faith" is one of the "movements of the mind that humans can really take." That is why there is a "faith" in the category of "movement of the mind" or "spiritual power" on the soul board, inclined to "holiness" or "evil" by its strength.

The values of good and evil have nothing to do with that "judgment of display".

Um, and when Paula thought of it, Lavia opened her mouth.

"But Hikaru. If 'Saint' and 'Evil' are equivalents, isn't this balancing because there are Koos who push 'Saints' and dragons from the Grand Dream Continent who push 'Evil'?

"That's... interesting. With that in mind, it may well not be a mistake that the dragon is God's messenger. Let the dragon choose 'holy' or 'evil' by having the will, and keep the equilibrium of the world,"

Lunch time passed as we argued so much.

"Dear Patricia, the investigation team is back for the north (...)"

"-- I'll hear the report."

That evening Patricia was told that by her secretary and moved to a separate room waiting for the investigation team.

Thin, dirty outfits everywhere because it's a forcible army for two nights a night.

The captain-like man salutes and begins reporting.

"Our investigation team consisted of all 10 people, including four from the regular army, four from the intelligence service and two historians, who advanced through Ville-Zentra yesterday at noon and arrived in Cape Zerze just before sunset. The house supposedly home of King Allegro is devastated, so much so that we would not have known without the accompaniment of scholars"

They've already tried to forget the heroes of the past.

King Allegro may get his footlights on this "treasure box" thing again. In that case, there is also the possibility of revitalizing the home as a tourist attraction.

Maybe we should develop Cape Zerze--and Patricia made a note in her heart.

"What was going on in the house?

"Nothing. Furniture and nothing. The roof collapsed, the walls remained, but the floors were missing, and we couldn't get in properly."

"Okay —— then?

"We discovered the cemetery, although the sun had already set and the surroundings were darkened. Then when we headed west, we did have a big hole headed under the cliffs of the Cape. It's pretty cleverly hidden, and it's the kind of place you wouldn't want to find out if you didn't know it was because of the bush. When I came in, I was able to go down the spiral stairs."

Just as it was in the poem!

Patricia swallows the crumbs, but pretends to be as calm as possible.

"... so?

"The cave seemed to protrude a little on the south side, and at its end there was something like a small altar. On the right hand side there is a small window, oriented east. So we decided to wait for sunrise."

At last, it's the core.

Yet... the captain's expression is not excellent.

"But the morning sun plugged in, but nothing happened."

"... nothing happened?

"Yes, nothing. Then we waited until noon, but there was no change, and there was a report of an early horse approaching us from the watch, and we withdrew from it."

It will be the adventurer Hikaru who has come.

"So it was a meaningless poem."

"No, there was another one. I said," It's like an altar. "

"Hmm? That's what you said."

"It was pretty rough. There's a hole under the altar, just the size of a treasure chest in the museum that I took out..."

Bang, and Patricia slapped the table.

"Ah, already! That you were getting ahead of me!?"

"... Yes. It seemed a long time ago that I dug up the hole, and the altar seemed to have passed since it was vandalized in doing so. Not a few years level, maybe decades, or more than a hundred years ago......"

Already was.

And he that noticed the treasures left behind by king Allegro, and dug them up--

"... think about it, right..."

Standing up, Patricia crushes to frustration as she walks in the room.

"Whether you collect treasures or leave them, secrets leak. Those who prepare boxes, those who collect treasures, even treasure boxes who practice sorcery… involve various human beings. There's no way you can hide the treasure from all of them.... Ha ha, I lost it excitedly"

"My heart, I guess"

"So, Führer, what about Adventurer Hikaru?

"You're leaving some people in Cape Zerze, aren't you? Then keep an eye on him until he gets back. In case you guys find something you couldn't discover."

…………

Obviously, the head of the investigation team had a "that's impossible" face. Because he's him and he's a pro on that road.

But the Lord Commander's decision is absolute.

Then a few days later —— the secretary gave a report to Patricia in intense duty.

"Chief Adventurer Hikaru Trends,"

"Hikaru......? Oh, of that Ska treasure (...)"

"With Ska, this sounds like a pretty good thing to say again."

"So what? Did you find that boy?"

The secretary shook his head to the side.

"Unfortunately. The day after our investigation team confirmed, we seem to have equally reached Cape Zerze, but we are returning to Ville-Zentra with our early horses without holding anything at noon the following day. The condition was depressing..."

"That's right, because 2 million guillans is pa. —— Did you say you could buy it back for 2 million guillans after all?

"No. I've been to the library for a couple of days since I got back, but I also stopped that, and now I seem to be getting a request at the Adventurer Guild"

"Hmm... what kind of request?

"Orphanage repairs and delivery of general medicinal herbs that are not enough in the national treasury… well, do you just say jobs that aren't going to be gold"

"I knew it. I guess he's our musical son, he's not in trouble for the money. So, I feel like I did a good thing doing a job that other adventurers wouldn't do for their own satisfaction"

"What about surveillance?

"Surveillance?

Patricia opened her eyes to surprise.

"Are you still on surveillance? I never thought our intelligence department was that hippocampal. Stop watching the adventurers of the Taoist Son and hold back the troubled people of the Sovereign Nation of Bios and the Einvists."

"Yes, I did. So that's it for today."

"Thank you. You can back off."

"Ha."

In gratitude, the secretary left the office.

Neither Patricia nor the secretary noticed that the curtains swayed slightly indoors.
