After a week's journey, me and Mr. Noir arrived in the westernmost town of Mulun.

Mulun was an idyllic country town.

Across the town stands a tower of earthen colour, and beyond it stands a mountain.

The ruins are beyond that mountain.

"I loved this town."

"Me too. I want to live here in old age."

"Right. 'Cause it's not cold here."

"Oh, for that reason..."

Nevertheless, it is certain that it is an easy environment to spend.

"What are we going to do?

"I'm going to the inn first. Then let's find the masters."

Looking for him, I know where he is.

According to Mr. Noir's map, there was one in town and two red dots at the tower.

We decided we would walk through town, lose as much and find an old lodging.

"Isn't that Mr. Ash!

As soon as I entered the inn, my uncle ran over.

"I'm here to stay, is the room empty?

"I'm free! Hey, I didn't think Mr. Ash was coming to stay!

My uncle gave me the keys to the room as he spoke enthusiastically.

"Take your time!"

My uncle dropped me off and we headed upstairs to our room.

And I just put my hand on the door, and the door next door opens.

"Oh, my God, that was fast."

It was - it was Mr. Cologne - who talked to me while I was away.

Mouthfully, I guess Eye asked me in advance about us coming.

You must have heard about the Demon King.

"What are the masters doing?

I greeted Mr. Cologne lightly.

It's Mr. Cologne in town, which means the master and Dean Phillip should be at the tower.

What the hell are you doing in there?

To my question, Mr. Cologne looks good at something.

"Oh, that tower - it's a magic wand."

I wasn't sure, so I decided to go to my masters.

I left my stuff in my room, and Mr. Noir and I headed to the tower with Mr. Cologne.

There, the master and Dean Philip were touching the tower with Peppa.

If you look closely, it looks like you're stuck to the tower.

"Hiccup, master."

When I spoke, the masters interrupted the work.

"Mmm? Whoa, isn't that Ash! It's not a hiccup!

"Aren't you both tired from a long journey? Look, you should drink this."

That's what I said, Dean Phillip gave me a drink.

I moistened my throat for once, and I snap at my masters.

"Is it true that this is a magic wand?

It is likely to be 100 meters high and 5 meters wide.

I've been reading catalogues of all sorts of magic wands, but just about every magic wand of this size wasn't in any book.

"Ugh. As Ash asked, I'm building a magic wand that will never break!

I mean, it's my magic wand.

"I can't believe you bothered to make such a big magic wand for me..."

Tear glands unwittingly loosen to the feelings of the masters.

"It's gonna be hard to use."

If you pick a street corner survey, everyone will feel the same way about Mr. Noir, but for me it's a trivial issue such as user-friendliness.

"How long is it going to take to get it done?

"Come on, when will it be... We'd like to get it done soon, but we'll have to take care of collecting the ingredients."

"But this is dirt, right? Don't you have any problems with the ingredients?

"This is dirt, not dirt. There's a monster called Iron Worm living around here."

The book said that iron worms are potato worms the size of which can be swallowed whole at home or so.

Well, the iron worm's diving deep all year round, so it's basically harmless.

"It's the iron worm that only shows up on the ground once a year. Even so, it's not just the buttocks."

"Iron worms get buttocks out for excretory behavior. The excrement is incredibly hard."

"In short, bye. If you collect too hard excrement, solidify it, and continue to compress it - the creation of a magic wand that will never break."

That said, the master sighs.

"Even so, iron worm excrement is precious. Most of them are mixed with dirt."

"I really wanted to make it out of 100% pure excrement. It's powerless, and it's about 60% pure."

Still 60%.

It only smells like dirt though, I feel kind of cool reflecting sunlight, and if it's this big, I should be able to put in a pattern I like.

If you carve a cool pattern, you'll get attached, and in that sense, I think I'm glad it's this size.

"Well, the missing part will be covered by our magic."

"Ash-kun has nothing to worry about."

"I hope we can handle everything."

The masters cheer gently.

This magic wand is filled with the love of its masters!

As soon as I thought about it, I became attached to the magic wand.

"Me, I'll definitely use this when I'm a wizard!

"Ugh! Because we make the highest quality magic wands. Ash works hard to get magic, too!

I nodded forcefully.

"That's why I'm here. Do the masters hear about the ruins?

"I'm listening. Noir there is helping Ash, isn't he? Thank you so much."

"Ash is what saved me. Now I'm gonna save Ash."

"Noir is a good girl."

Mr. Noir, praised by his master, seems somewhat pleased.

"So, when are you going to ride the ruins?

"Tomorrow."

"Shall we accompany you then? Maybe you'll be able to see the moment Ash becomes a wizard."

That's how I went to the ruins with my masters.
