The World’s Strongest Martial Artist who has Worked too Hard, Survives in the Magic World With Ease

After training in Mr. Noir's spiritual world.

We took the train from the Kingdom of Lantern and we came to the town in the southern part of the Kingdom of Elstadt.

At this pace, we're likely to reach Nemnesia with Efa by the end of the week.

"What are we going to do today?

"I think that's Mr. Noir."

"Me?

"This town has Hexera headquarters."

"Hexera... I've heard it somewhere"

"It's the manufacturer of the magic wand (Withers Rod) we talked about before."

Mr. Noir is hazy.

And I took the magic wand like an ice-cold.

Whether she has been using it for a long time or the pattern has faded, and whether it was dirty during the journey is dusty and dusty overall.

"I remember. But I think it was also made by Hexera."

"You're right. If you take that to headquarters or branches, they can polish it for free."

"Are you going to be picky?

"It said in the catalogue that it would be brand new. I don't think it's gonna take that long, but what do we do?

"... I don't want to be brand new."

"Why?"

"'Cause if I polish my wand clean, it's going to disappear to memories of my journey"

"Okay. Then let's find a place to stay. And let's go to bed early today."

"Are you going to bed now?... Is it early tomorrow?

"Yeah. If we catch the train in the morning, we'll reach Elstania in the evening."

"I can't wait. You're staying in Elstania tomorrow, right?

"I'm going to. I'm worried about Nemia."

"I care too. Something that conveyed tension over the phone. I want you to stroke your head and relax."

The Elstadt School of Magic integration exam is next month.

He's nervous about his first exam, and Nemia called me the other day with a trembling voice saying, 'Exam, I'm scared'.

That's why I decided to play with Nemia and relax the tension.

That's about all I can do for you as a master, Nemia.

That's how we get excited about reuniting with Nemia, while we head to the inn.

"... that?

"Is something wrong?

"No, a little..."

First we pay for the inn, and we move upstairs to the room.

And I told Mr. Noir.

"I'll work."

Mr. Noir gets pompous.

"... what's the sudden matter?

"I just realized I have very little money left"

"Then you can spend my money."

Mr. Noir took out his wallet and sprinkled coins on the floor.

I'll add it to my holdings...

"What do you think?

"Hmmm...... That's a little short."

"Well, you should use my savings"

"If you're saving up, I have one. I just have to get to Elstania's bank to get it down."

"... are you going to drop the money by yourself?

"No, I'm not going alone. There's also the Demon King."

When I was training for Nemia, I defeated The Copper Emperor.

I didn't have a conversation because I shattered it to the encounter... he seems to be your three family, so there must be two more demon kings.

The demon king's target is' Man Interrupting the Capture of the Ice Emperor (Ice Lord) = Me ', but it doesn't make a difference that he's after Mr. Noir.

Until the demon king is swept away, it is better to stay by Mr. Noir as long as possible.

"That's why I decided to work in this town. If you're this big, you'll find a day job and a day job."

Without magic, my job narrows, but now I have magic!

If you don't choose, you should find a job!

"I'll work with you, too. Something you two can earn more than one."

"Thanks! Let's join forces and earn some travel expenses!

"I'll do my best......! So, what kind of work do you do?

"Right...... Let's ask my uncle."

We go to our uncle at the inn.

"Excuse me. I'd like to ask you a few questions."

"Ha. What is it, Mr. Ash?

"I'm looking for a day job and a day job, don't you know?

"That's right......... Speaking of which, my son said he'd be joining Hexera tomorrow for loading work."

"Well, why don't you tell me more?

"Of course it is! Even so, I don't know much about it -"

Uncle, I hear Hexera Corp. is shipping magic wands twice a month.

The magic wands made at Hexera's factory are stored in crates, transported from the factory to the freight station, loaded onto trains, and shipped worldwide.

In other words, "loading job" means "work loading crates onto freight trains".

Then you can use floating magic, and even if the magic runs out, you can work.

Exactly the right job for me!

"Is that an interview or something?

"If you have an interview, it's going to fall. I'm not good at talking. Will you stick with the special training?

"Of course you are! Let's break through the interview together!

"I'll do my best......!

"I'm sorry to water you where you're concerned, but my son said," No interview. "

"Really?

"Yeah. They just need to go to a freight station outside town and sign the roster before they start business"

Uncle jerk, he starts pretty fast.

Does your uncle's son plan to head to the crime scene before dawn?

"I'll be careful not to fall asleep"

"I'll wake you up. You'll be fine."

So we thanked our uncle and went to bed early.

◆

And the next day.

We visited a freight station with tons of crates and headed to the site supervisor with the roster in his hand (according to the name tag, Mr. Malang).

"Next person, please give me your name"

"This is Ash Arkvald."

"Then sign there...... Mr. Ash!?

Mr. Malan raised his surprise and one of the people nearby bothered.

"Hey, why is Mr. Ash here?

"To earn travel expenses."

"Oh, did I? I'm sorry, I messed up. Uh, well..."

Mr. Maran gave me the paper.

"The precautions are written here, so keep your eyes open. If there's anything else you don't know, don't hesitate."

"Okay."

"Next person, give me your name... Huh!?

Mr. Maran sees Mr. Noir with a slight face.

Mr. Noir has to be decent.

"Is there something on my face?

"Oh, no, excuse me. Uh, give me your name."

It's a noir.

"Are you Mr. Noir...... Okay, sign here."

Mr. Noir just signed it, and we look at the precautions.

Uh, what?

1. Do not fail to check safety.

2. Don't force it.

3. Treating the crate carefully.

4. Do not use floating magic.

... floating magic banned?

I thought floating magic works great in this kind of scene...

"Excuse me, shouldn't I use floating magic?

"Yes, the use of floating magic is prohibited"

"Why not?

To my question, Mr. Malan clouded his face.

"To tell you the truth... more than ten years ago, there was a huge incident involving the disappearance of the Hexera Lady Sphere."

"You got a Hexera warrant?

"Yes, Master Sphere is an active man, and when he tried to run away, he was brought back to his maid."

"Running away... Could it be that you hid in a crate and ran away from home?

I'm sure it is.

If it's manual, I'll notice immediately, but if it's floating magic, it's not a story.

Because they were packed together in floating magic and loaded on the train, I didn't realize that only one crate weighed differently.

"Probably broke into the warehouse from a small gap during the night. There were magic wands scattered around the corner of the warehouse for shipping. And by the time we realized that, the crate had already been shipped…"

That's awesome behavior.

What made you want to run away from home?

"Was Sphere protected?

"No, a search party was dispatched to countries around the world, but they are still missing...... So to prevent recurrence, report any slight discomfort in the crate to me."

"Okay."

The crate seems to weigh about 5 kg, so I can tell as soon as a child is in it.

I feel as much as 5 kg and 500 kg, but working with Mr. Noir is fine.

"Well, it's time. Gentlemen, get to work now!

To Mr. Malan's decree, we begin our work.

Mr. Noir lifted the crate,

"What do you say?"

"It's not that heavy."

"Okay, I'll bring it in."

I'll take the crate I received from Mr. Noir to the train.

Repeating that over and over again, there are fewer crates left.

"My back's starting to hurt."

Mr Noir says as he rubs his hips.

"Then you can take a break. The precautions said," Don't push it. "

"I can try harder. But... can I carry the crate, too?

I don't really want you to be able to do that, but they say it's less burdensome on your hips to carry than lift or lower the crate.

"Okay. Be careful."

"I'll do my best."

Mr. Noir lifts the last crate.

And to my work colleagues uncles,

"Are you kidding?

"Don't make it impossible."

"My uncle can't lose either."

Walk up to the freight train, inspired by things like that.

and then.

"How's it going?

A woman of good standing spoke to Mr. Malang.

Is it a Hexera executive? To the appearance of the woman, field director Maran corrected her spine.

"Dear Leone, As you can see, it's going well. As always, everyone gathered here today worked without magic."

"I'm sorry for all the hard work you've been through... But you must never repeat that tragedy again - isn't that Master Ash!?

A woman called Lady Leone looks at me with a slight face.

"Yes, I'm Ash."

"I knew it! It would be an honor for Master Ash to work for us. Do you have plans after this? How about eating with us, if you don't mind? My husband is a huge fan of Ash."

"Can I have a friend with me?

"Sure. Shh. So, Ash's friend..."

And Mr. Noir just came back.

"I could have carried it to the end without dropping it."

"You're annoying. Mr. Leone, she's my friend."

"Sphere!?

Mr. Leone shouted bewildered.

Mr. Noir has to be decent.

"I'm Noir."

"Yes...... I'm sorry, I looked so much like my daughter, I screamed..."

Was this one, Sphere's mother?

"Does Sphere look so much like Mr. Noir?

"Yeah. But it's my mistake. You look just like me, but you have a different look."

"You got a look?

"Yes, Sphere was a heap of joy and sorrow, active, hard, energetic... Always wanting to go outside... but if I did, my dear, I'd be too bound..."

So you repeatedly ran away from home and eventually hid in a crate and left...

Mr. Leone wipes his tears and stares at Mr. Noir for his love.

Even if you know you're different, you're going to look like your daughter.

"If you don't mind, would you like to come to dinner, Mr. Noir?

"I'm coming."

In an instant, when we received our salary, we headed to Mr. Leone's mansion.

◆

"Sphere!? And Master Ash!?

When I visited the mansion, my well-dressed uncle raised a bewildered voice.

"I'm Noir."

"What? Isn't it Sphere...?

My uncle is increasingly confused.

"You…. I'm surprised, too, but she's not a sphere. Mr. Noir."

"Isn't it the Sphere...... I'm sorry it took so long. My name is Rosso. So, why is Master Ash here?

"I invited you to dinner."

"Right. Please wait while we prepare your meal immediately."

Mr. Rosso turns his attention to the maid.

The maid just walked away somewhere, Leone said.

"Wait for a meal. Would you like to see some pictures of the Sphere?

"I want to see it."

He was wondering how similar they were, and Mr. Noir replied immediately.

"Come here, then"

Mr. Leone and Mr. Rosso guide us to a spacious room.

The interior is covered in pink wallpaper and decorated with dolls that little girls might like.

"What's here..."

"As you can see, this is Sphere's room."

"I thought you might come back one day and leave it at that time."

Mr. Leone and Mr. Rosso talk smudgingly.

Then, Mr. Leone took the album.

"Sphere was always moving around so there aren't many decent pictures taken......"

Mr. Leone opened the album with a lovely looking gesture,

……

……

Me and Mr. Noir, we lost our word.

Sphere looked just like Noir, who became a three-year-old with degenerative drugs.

This can't even be seen wrong by Mr. Leone and Mr. Rosso......

You look so much alike.

"They look so much alike. But you don't look the same. I don't look like this."

I do have a different look...

But I look familiar to Mr. Noir.

Plus, lately.

Specifically, in Mr. Noir's spiritual world.

... then.

If my predictions are correct, this mansion...

"How old is this picture?

"I'm four. So, here's a picture from my fifth birthday a few days before Sphere went missing."

"Why is Sphere crying when it's her birthday? You don't look so impressed by the celebration."

"To tell you the truth... the Sphere didn't have a magic spot (Stiegel) when he was five."

"So you cried?

"Yes, Sphere said he wanted to use magic quickly."

"I'm sure Sphere wanted to use the magic wand you guys made. That's why I went on a training journey to be a wizard. When you're a wizard, you'll be back here."

"I'm glad you are."

"But even if Mr. Noir is right, he'll probably be back a long way away."

"I wonder why?

"You said Sphere would be the most powerful wizard in the world."

"Yes, yes. That girl was thinking of two names for when she became the most powerful wizard."

"Even if me and Leone suggest, 'How about these two names,' they say, 'That's different'. I'm sure you liked the two names you thought about yourself."

"What kind of two names?

"Ice Emperor."

It's Mr. Noir's home!

……

Mr. Noir is opening his eyes to surprise.

Looks like you've come to the same conclusion as me.

"Both of you, what's wrong?

"No, I don't know..."

Looking at Mr. Noir for a moment, he nodded in a dull way.

Apparently, he wants to say it from his own mouth.

He lay down his eyes to get lost, looked up to be courageous, and revealed himself.

"I'm the Sphere."

"... Huh? Yep!?"

"Sphere!? You!?

I'm so confused, and Mr. Noir is sloppy.

"That's right. But I don't remember the old days. I don't remember old times, but I'm definitely in the sphere. 'Cause sometimes it's called The Ice Emperor."

Don't tell me who they call the Ice Emperor, but they both seem to have believed Mr. Noir's story.

The two embraced Mr. Noir.

"I guess it's a sphere even if you don't remember!? If you're all right, that's fine!

"You've come home so often! Really safe and more than anything!! But where the hell have you been?

"Protected by a kind one? Or have you lived alone the whole time?

"I've been at Ringland's for about ten years. After that, I was at the Elstadt School of Magic. I'm traveling with Ash right now."

"You were at the Elstadt School of Magic..."

Mr. Leone is confused.

I guess I never thought my daughter without magic spots would be at the highest educational institution in the world.

"Is Mr. Ringrant's home also in Elstania?

"Ringrant's house was in the wilderness for half a day on foot from Nemnesia."

The institute is now in two pieces, Mr. Noir, who speaks in its past form.

"In the wilderness!? You lived in a place like that?

"I can't find it..."

"But you're safe, more importantly!

"Oh! I can't be happier!

Seeing the two happy people, Mr. Noir looks like he's in trouble.

I guess I felt like I was going to be held back from traveling.

"... I can't live in this house. Because I'm traveling with Ash."

When Mr. Noir took the lead, the two laughed.

"Don't worry. We'll never make the same mistake again."

"The Sphere... Noir was alive. I just figured it out, and I'm happy enough."

"So I'm not gonna lock you in the house. Besides, I can't even tell you to stay home when I see you right now."

"Noir loves his life now, doesn't he?

He was stared at and Mr. Noir nodded forcefully.

"Happiness has been going on ever since I met Ash at the School of Magic. 'Cause I made a lot of friends."

"Yes...... Then I won't tell you to stop traveling."

"We wish you well on your journey to Noir in this place."

He stared gently and Mr. Noir nodded coldly.

"... but we're not leaving right now."

When they saw Mr. Noir holding his stomach, they laughed.

"Eat a lot today"

"Lady Ash, think of it as your home and relax."

"Yes!"

"I'll relax."

That's how we treat Mr. Noir to a delicious meal at his home.

They left the mansion behind as they were dropped off.
