Chapter 27: At Lion’s Holy Office Again About a week before the New Year, Werlich visited the Clausel residence shortly after sunset. “Werlich-dono!” “It’s been a while, Weiss.” The dwarf exchanged a brief greeting with Weiss in the entrance hall, set down a pale wooden box, and said, “Here’s what I promised,” before leaving almost […]
Chapter 26: The Identity of the Object Covered in Cloth After passing through the station in the Imperial Capital, the group returned to Elendil. Ren, Ulysses, Werlich, Edgar, and Lessard stood on the long landing strip where magic ships docked in the Hanging Garden. Several hours had passed since their conversation in the blacksmith district.
Chapter 25: The Magic Ship in Elendil Ren stared at the massive hammer Werlich had placed on the floor. (Was he really planning to attack Ulysses-sama with that?) That would normally be outrageous, but Ulysses and Werlich showed no restraint around each other. Ren decided their behavior probably belonged in the broad category of friendly
Chapter 24: That Dwarf Ulysses noticed Ren looking toward the academy district and recalled their conversation that summer. “So? Have you decided whether you’ll attend?” Ren had thought about the matter many times since that night. Ulysses’s words had changed his perspective and helped him find an answer about his future. “I’m seriously considering it.”
Chapter 23: The Blacksmith District When Ren returned to the Elendil residence that evening, his sudden and remarkable achievement astonished Lessard and the others. Licia alone simply smiled, as though nothing Ren accomplished could surprise her anymore. Berserk Fish meat was delicious, so at Ren’s suggestion, it was served at the residence. They also kept
Chapter 22: A Little Later, but No Less Striking. Only moments after the meat was thrown— “Oh, here they come.” A school of fish appeared beneath the water. Every one of them was a monster large enough that Ren would need both arms to carry it. Thick blue scales covered their bodies, and sharp fangs
Chapter 21: Declaring the Feelings They Refuse to Yield. Licia forgot about the other books. Her attention fixed entirely on the study guide. “I’m planning to buy this one too. May I look through it, Fiona-sama?” “O-of course! Though… it’s a little embarrassing.” Licia soon understood why. When Fiona opened the book, numerous bookmarks protruded
Chapter 20: An Unexpected Reunion and an Unexpected Conversation. A sudden cold wind made Licia hold down her hair. Feeling the chill on her cheeks, she voiced a question that had just occurred to her. Her interest in the blacksmith hadn’t diminished in the slightest. “What kind of person is this blacksmith you know, Weiss?”
Chapter 19: In the Imperial Capital in Winter. The Hanging Garden was the largest station in Elendil. Because it also served as a magic-ship terminal, its scale was exceptional even within Leomel. Simply traveling down to ground level provided a fair amount of exercise. Once they emerged outside, however, they could rest in the carriage
Chapter 18: Busy Days. First, Ren had spent roughly ten days traveling from Clausel to the town with a magic-ship terminal. The magic ship then took almost a full day to reach Elendil. After staying there for five days, he had returned to Clausel by a route that required almost the same amount of time.
