Chapter 36



Tomorrow, Lux will depart to the town of Bureto . One week has passed since we arrived in this town . It seems the big horde of monsters will be reaching Bureto soon .


The lord of this town has already issued the Lord’s army as reinforcement . I heard the army will be reaching Bureto around half a day after the Monster horde .


Right now, the walls around Bureto town are reinforced to their maximum . I heard it’s gonna be a defensive battle . Today, the adventurers in this town who accepted the Lord’s request are ready for their departure .


Though the number is less than the Lord Army, all the members are veteran adventurers who are equal or higher than average adventurers . There are no monster subjugation quests above their skill .


There is a secret weapon which will bring them to the battlefield, the flying monsters from [Welburg airfreight]


[Welburg airfreight] is the transportation guild based in Welburg .


These flying monsters capable of carrying people in groups are limited in number . It seems the Lord has cooperated with the transport guild Welburg this time to ferry the adventurers .


[This way it seems possible to transport around 150 people]


150 veteran adventurers . It seems the local Lord has judged it best to invest his limited logistics capability in this capable fighting force .


[Awesome . By the way, Considering you leave tomorrow when will you arrive?]


[It seems we’ll arrive in the morning the day after tomorrow]


It’s really amazing to be able to arrive in just a whole day . I also want to have a flight monster .


I promised Lux that I’ll come to see him off tomorrow morning .


[will you give Lux a parting present?]


[I will because I was indebted to those people]


[What would be good?]


As a result of our discussion, we decided to give Amy’s handmade potions .


[I was saved by Lux’s [X-Potion] . The quality might be lower, but Amy’s potion will be alright . ]


The next morning, when we go to the plaza outside the west gate to meet Lux’s party, Lux found us immediately .


[Hibiki, thank you for coming all the way to see us off]


[It’s because I am indebted to you since the events in the forest]


[I was helped by you as well]


I passed the leather bag to Lux . There are 20 potions inside the bag which we made yesterday .


[It’s a farewell gift . They’re potions made by Amy, but I hope they will serve you well . ]


[Is it okay for me to take them?]


[sure . But they’re not as good as the [X-Potion] back then]


[Don’t worry about that . We are aware that Amy’s potion work very well] .


Gary and the other party members nodded in the back . Everyone who were in that forest already knew about the effectiveness of Amy’s potion .


[If it’s you, it’ll be fine . Make sure you survive, you hear!]


[Ya, I want to meet Hibiki again after all]


Kuese approaches me and Lux . I might as well give her a farewell greeting too .


[Teacher, please be careful]


[You should also be careful [Annihilation] . The defense on this town will be spread thin after we leave, after all . ]


Half of the veteran Adventurers were selected to join the Lord’s Army . We should be more careful too .


I nodded at Kuesu’s advice .


I heard a voice calling me when I returned to the conversation with Lux . When I turned around, Baara and Gary are approaching us together .


[Wait up!! You do notice me, right!?]


I was detained by the KY sister . I stared Seira’s face while letting a big sigh .


[What do you want, M Sister?]


Seira is a masochist? Instead of starting to harass me she tilted her head in question .


[You, what’s the meaning of trying to ignore me?]


[Sorry, I didn’t see you . Even if I do see you I have no interest in understanding you]


[What’d you say!! Look at me properly!!]


Seira put out her chest . It’s well-developed in its own way and it swayed while wrapped with the red nun’s clothes . I didn’t think about anything strange .


[Is it okay for me to see your half-baked breast? As for the volume, Zir’s bigger . As for the shape, I am more in favor of Ayla and Amy . ]


Seira was lost for words . However, she didn’t seem discouraged and keeps glaring at me .


[You, It seems you won’t participate with the rescue party . ]


[Yeah, i am not]


Seira seemed to look down on me .


[Why don’t participate in the big incident at Bureto town? At times like this do you only think of keeping your own life safe?]


It’s true, but i’ll object for a bit .


[You, are you seriously saying that?]


[Of course I am . People should help each other]


[Are you saying it’s fine for anything to happen to this city as long as Bureto is safe?]


[Fue!? I-I don’t mean it like that!!]


[In that case, are you saying that everyone who remains in this town is selfish?]


[T-that’s…]


[This town is facing the [Demon’s Wilderness] . If the monsters saw the horde of the flying monsters fly away, they might understand that the war potential of this town has fallen so they might come to attack here]


[The remaining people stay in the town for such a situation . Is it selfish to prepare for incoming monster attacks?]


My voice seems a little bit loud and the surrounding people seem to have heard it . The eyes of the other adventurers looking in our direction seem cold-hearted .


Seira seems to noticed the stares and shrunk down .


[Do you understand? Even for those who remain here there’s also fighting . I want you to not say such selfish things again]


[… I am sorry]


Seira apologized and bowed deeply . Of course, I didn’t think this deeply about it myself before . It’s just something I understood after talking with Kuesu earlier .


[It’s alright already . I know that it’s a fact you guys will be going to a dangerous place . ]


[Hibiki, i am sorry . I didn’t know you thought that way]


Lux seemed like he wanted to say something . perhaps his mind was so filled with thoughts of rescuing Bureto that he didn’t ever think about how it meant lowering the fighting power of this town .


Well, even though he is a Hero, there is one thing adventurer always think . Lux seems seriously prepared to carry everything by himself .


[Don’t worry, you are not alone]


[Thank you, I leave this town on you]


[of course . I’ll do the best I can . ]


The answer really is fitting of an adventurer . Adventurers will never do something at the cost of their lives .


I exchanged a handshake with Lux and saw the flying monster take off . Bureto town might be okay if it’s in Lux’s hand . I believe in him .


After seeing off Lux’s group, we heading toward the magician guild in order to improve Zir’s partial knowledge which had me worried yesterday .


I enquire whether it’s allowed for me to buy books related in magic, but the guild declined .


[The books related to magic is limited to rank 3 magicians or above]


The fact that sale of these books is restricted is proof that magic is powerful .


It can’t be helped if the magician guild said so .


[Then, we’re in a stalemate now]


[Master, there might be books related to magic being sold in town]


I approved Amy’s opinion and we’re heading into town .


It’s a good idea . The last time we went around town, we were unable to do it slowly because we bought Zir .


We arrived in the area of the shop where we bought Zir and we went a little further .


First of all, if it’s a book inherently related to magic then within the market area I can sense 20 objects with a magical signature .


[The appearance of this book seems like any other . ]


In the first shop, we found an autobiography of [The Great Magician of Flame, Gavanadle]


It seems pretty fishy if he refers to himself as a ‘great magician’, but after confirming the contents it seems surprisingly reliable .


Gavanadle seems to have been an adventurer, even though he was betrayed by his companion several times .


However, every time he was able to get away from hordes of monsters .


It has detailed explanations on what he did to survive .


I bought it since it’s seems useful . The price was two large copper coins .


When we check the other books, including those in the other shops, most are only about teaching basic magic or autobiographies of magicians .


When we found the books about Ghost Magic we were looking for we bought them all .


Though they number few there are books that themselves seemed to carry magic called [grimoires] .


The grimoires we found were:


The [Book of Storage] with the ability to store magic and use it later .


The [Book of Summon] which can summon contracted partners to your location .


The [Book of Wisdom] which had magic inside it but we didn’t quite understand its effect .


When I checked the status of [Book of Wisdom]:


********************************


Book of Wisdom (Dormant mode)


The book recorded by a sage .


All knowledge can be obtained .


*********************************


I wonder what this dormant mode means . When I checked inside, a pattern that looked like graffiti made by a child covered all pages .


When I asked to the shopkeeper about the its origin, it seems it’s from the mansion of the previous generations of Lord .


After the Lord died during the organizing of his belongings the grandmother of the shopkeeper who worked there at the time was given this book .


He believed it to be valuable so he put it for sale in his shop, but the shopkeeper was troubled because it seems everyone ignored this book for a long time .


When I said I would buy it for 4 large copper coins he was overjoyed .


We also bought a few other things from this stall that seemed to catch my eye .


Tomorrow, I decided we’re going to Goblin’s village to do various experiments . While we’re at it, we also bought some of the mass-produced items being sold in city for the goblins to use as equipment .


That night when everyone were sleeping I took out the books that we bought in the town . I poured magic into the [Book of Storage] .


I thought I’d go back to sleep and put it the book back on the table .


[Umu, it’s already ten years after I received magic . It’s spreading in my body]


I heard a voice, but there is no one around .


[over here, my new owner . although my owner seems to have already found me, is looking for me some sort of ritual?]


The voice is coming from my hand .


I checked the book in my hand in hurry .


Apparently, the book in my hand is not [Book of Storage], but it’s [Book of Wisdom] .


I made a mistake because the book cover is almost similar .


[Are you the one who is talking, [Book of Wisdom]?]


[Yes I am, I am the one who collecting all the knowledge of this world, [The Book of Wisdom]] .
