Chapter 37: On the Plains Outside the City The following day, an interesting discussion took place at Marquis Ignat’s residence in Eupheim. Ulysses had naturally reached the same conclusion as Radius. In fact, he had moved sooner and had already investigated whether any of the affected companies employed a Dispel user. One trading company did. […]
Chapter 36: Bonds Gradually Connecting Several hours later, Ren was still thinking about the request. (But how am I supposed to find a band of thieves without a single clue?)

Chapter 35: Special Request Mirei spoke first. “If this concerns the incident at the magic-tool workshops, the knights have already begun their investigation—” “I know.

Chapter 29: With the Jet-Black Knights [Part Two] The following day, Ren left the mansion shortly after sunrise and headed for Lion’s Holy Office.
