Finally, the two turned around, escaping the magic circle.
Licia looked at the center of the shattered stone pavement, where dust and debris filled the air.
"Is it the guardian of the seal!? Or... a survivor of the Demon King's army!?"
Shattered fragments of the stone pavement fell like rain.
"That is probably..."
Ren squinted his eyes and stared into the dust.
A colossal figure of at least five meters, adorned with golden engravings on jet-black armor. It ...

Ren explained the reason behind the surprising natural magic he displayed earlier, without hiding the evolution of the magic sword.
The explanation itself wasn't difficult. Although Licia thought it was a rare power, in reverse, that was all there was to it.
"So, that's how it was."
Licia reminisced about the past. It was after their battle with Jerukku and when they returned to Clausel together.
Everything fell into place, including the reason why Ren suddenly asked L...

It was from this moment that the rain began to fall gradually in the surroundings.
In a place like this, sudden changes in weather were not uncommon, so there was no sense of unease about it. Getting wet in the light rain was not much of a concern. However, after the rain stopped, a thin mist began to form, gradually turning into a dense white fog.
A new anomaly occurred at this point. Ren and Licia stopped in their tracks and leaned against each other as if protecting ...

"I'm off then."
"Good luck!"
"Do your best."
"Yeah!"
Carina and I saw off Bequa as he headed towards the waiting room for competitors in the arena.
"Carina, shall we go watch Bequa's match?"
"Yes."
Having that conversation, the two of us headed to the VIP viewing room, which was made of glass and reserved for important individuals. It was situated even higher than the regular spectator seats.
During the preliminaries, there were no seats provide...

"Carina's is the day after tomorrow, and Zeros' is the day after that."
The tournament begins tomorrow. Therefore, the match schedule has already been distributed. Bequa will be fighting from the first round.
"Well then, see you tomorrow."
"Yeah!"
Since there will be a match tomorrow, we parted ways with Bequa and Urza a little earlier than usual and returned home as a group of five.
“Phew…”

When Bequa and I arrived at the training grounds, Carina and Shana had just started their mock battle.
"Carina, you've become quite skilled at beastification."
"Yeah."
Carina's beastification made her elbows and knees resemble cat limbs. She actually wanted to fully beastify her entire body, but it seems that this was her limit for now. Even when she's beas...

"Yes."
Currently, I, Zeros, am explaining to the king, his advisors, and Bequa about my conversation with Ryu yesterday at the royal castle. The sequence of events is quite simple. In the early morning, Bequa arrived at the inn and asked me about Ryu, the demon I met yesterday, and the purpose of participating in the tournament. In response, Bequa said, "We'll continue this conversation at the royal castle," and escorted me there.

Thanks to the use of stealth, I was able to arrive at the inn without being spotted by anyone in particular since then.
After deactivating the stealth, I entered the inn and was immediately guided to the fourth floor, as if the innkeeper had recognized my face.

“No, it's a mock battle for magic.”
I was using recovery magic to heal the damage. Paralysis is probably a status abnormality, so I also used magic to heal the status abnormality.
Bequa was able to move and put out his hand, so I pulled it and made him stand.

Bequa's hand was still trembling slightly. It seemed to be still numb.

"...There's no need to worry about Zeros coming back. Let's talk already."
It had been nearly 30 minutes since Onii-chan left the inn. It's highly unlikely that he'll return at this point.
"What are you talking about?"
"If you didn't have any business, there's no way you would've stayed behind without Zeros."
As Shana said, since I didn't have any business, I definitely followed my brother. I debated whether to acc...

"You're calmly getting back up, huh"
I murmured under my breath. Despite landing two solid hits on his face with my sword, the aide was trying to stand up as if he hadn't taken any damage.
Although he didn't have a particularly long nose, he was probably contracted with some beast like an elephant. That would explain his high attack power and durability.

I muttered quietly. Based on his appearance and agility, I could a...

"Is it okay? The king has already left."

Even to an amateur's eyes, I don't think Bequa's current attire is something that can be easily dirtied in battle. The same probably applies to the king.
"Then I'll go to the training grounds first."

While on the way to the royal castle, the three siblings were happily chatting. It was natural for the siblings who hadn't seen each other in months to have lively conversations without including me. But... they didn't have to talk while sandwiching me in the middle. Bequa was on my right side, with Carina and Urza on my left. Bequa, can we change places?

Yesterday evening, we received a report from the dungeon team. They had finally defeated the boss of the 10th layer and liberated the transition zone. So, as a temporary break, we are taking the day today as a rest day.
The boss of the 10th level was the "Orc General,...

I can only put a complicated expression on my face when she asks me.
It's true that my magical power is 7th rank.
It is more than normal, but it is only the total amount of magic power I have, which does not necessarily equate to a higher output.
In other words, to put it simply, the tank that contains my magic power is very huge.
But that doesn't mean that the faucet attached to that tank is big.
