Manowa

Audin, King of Tsuvara.

It seemed the man who had been officially recognized as Tsuvara's King came to inspect the tower crowned with his own name. And he appeared in front of Kazane and the others.

Although, before Kazane and the others left the royal capital, they naturally heard about the matter. The King isn't here, but don't worry about that and set off on your journey!... there wasn't anything like that; it was handled normally with Reigel telling them where he was, so they weren't particularly surprised and had a reunion with smiling faces.

「Hoh, this bridge is suspended from the tower?」

Audin was groaning while checking the workmanship of the bridge that was built just a moment ago in front of the entrance of Audin Tower.

「As a matter of fact, I was considering whether we should build a bridge or have a ferry; as expected of Kazane.」

「Well, that would be like giving a defective product, right? Think of it as after-sale service.」

Kazane looked a little pale as she responded to Audin's words.

「Hmm, are you okay?」

Audin looked at Kazane with worry, but Kazane simply replied「Yeah, I'm fine.」

Her Magic Power was almost exhausted by the time the bridge's construction was completed, and the backlash from that massive consumption threw her condition off balance. The distance from the lake shore to the tower was longer than she expected, so she truly only had just enough Magic Power to complete it.

「Once my Magic Power has recovered, I'll reinforce the bridge a little as well. If too much weight is placed on it as it is now, it might be dangerous.」

「We'll leave that to Kazane. We can't do anything about that. And so, Roland. Guide the ladies and gentlemen of the White Party into the tower. It seems Her Majesty the God Dragon Empress has gotten tired from using her power for our sake. 」

「Certainly!」

After Audin's words, the Griffon Knight whose name was called replied and came forward. Incidentally, Tiara's Flame Griffon Knights were summoned beings based on them. Just like Hyvern's Dragon Knights, the Griffon Knights the summons were based on were admired by everyone.

However, all the Griffons were subordinates of the Ruby Griffon by contract.

Because of that, when the Ruby ​​Griffon was hijacked in the past, those subordinate Griffons were unable to act and show their power. The same was true for Audin, as he was originally a swordfighter using summoned beings; he also rode here on a Flame Griffon he summoned himself.

「So then, this way, ladies and gentlemen. We'll look after the carriage.」

After the White Party had disembarked from the carriage and horses, Roland judged it was the right time to speak up, but Kazane shook her head. Roland tilted his head when he saw that, and Kazane opened her mouth.

「Aah, I'll erase this.」

When Kazane said that and clapped her hands together, the Thunder Chariot turned into purple lightning and dispersed. Seeing that situation, Roland was surprised and said「It was a summon?」

Although inorganic summons like the carriage weren't unheard of, it wasn't very mainstream magic. Summoned magic swords and the like that guaranteed a weapon of a certain quality as long as one had Magic Power were reasonably well known, but summoning techniques for things that didn't expressly need to be summoned were obscure existences.

「So then, the Hippomaru-kuns will fundamentally listen to whatever they're told, so please put them wherever you like. They don't need food either.」

「Ah, yes. Understood. So then, you guys, that's how it is. Carefully transport them.」

After Kazane's words, Roland nodded and spoke to his men.

A giant horse in black armor with a fiendish ram and two golem horses made of crystal. Not knowing how to handle them, the knights tried pulling their reins first off and seemed relieved when they moved normally. Actually, if they had given instructions by mouth, they would have moved accordingly, but Kazane thought that if they were accustomed to horses, it was fine to leave them as they were, so she didn't say anything.

「So then, I'll guide you inside. Though saying that, the tower was built by Kazane-sama, so you have thorough knowledge of the interior, right?」

「Nn, not really.」

After Kazane's reply, Roland once again tilted his head as he started guiding them. Kazane had seen the blueprints, but it was her first time actually going inside.

◎ Tsuvara Kingdom, Audin Tower, 1st Floor

「Now then, please relax here.」

The place they were guided to as he said that was a reasonably large room, and the interior looked well-equipped. Then Roland turned on his heel and left the room.

And after Roland left, Kazane and the others sat down and started to relax.

「It looks brighter than I expected.」

Emily said while looking at the ceiling. It looked like light was shining through openings in the ceiling.

「Since it's a room on the perimeter. Combined with Mirror Coating, it's made so that pretty much everywhere should be lit as long as the sun is out.」

Kazane replied to Emily's words. Though it wasn't designed by Kazane, but was merely constructed like that from the start, so that wasn't because Kazane was amazing.

「However, there are 400 floors, right? No, didn't it go underground as well? Amazing.」

『In my memory, it seems I heard there are 406 floors above ground and 406 floors below ground.』

Lyle's question was answered by Gieve's spear. Since Gieve was assimilated with Lyle, it seemed he could choose to search in Lyle's memory. It was a search engine in his brain.

「With that many, I'm impressed it hasn't toppled. Or rather, it won't topple over, right?」

After Yumika's uneasy voice, Kazane nodded.

「It was made with adjustments from the Window's System, so it will be fine. Probably.」

「Well, it seems the Naga Line's mana was thoroughly used, which is substantively the power of the gods. That should be able to do this much, don't you think?」

「Gods? It says Dragon and Beast Ruling Tenma Monarch here, though.」

Kazane took out and showed her Adventurers Guild card.『Dragon and Beast Ruling Tenma Monarch (Apprentice)』was properly written there. Yumika's Adventurers Guild card also showed『Metamorphosis Miko』now; it seemed that when the Occupation was changed due to Superiorization, it couldn't be altered.

Even if they tried to change it at an Adventurers Guild, perhaps due a compelling force from the Window, it would be unchangeable.

「The name doesn't matter. What you're doing is a god's technique. Directly using mana from the Naga Line for spells is classified as Divine Magic. And the only known way for humans to use Divine Magic is through Guardian Armaments like the White Sword and the Ruby Griffon.」

It seemed to be a bigger story than she had imagined.

「Well, I can only use Apprenticeship Cancellation for 3 minutes, and honestly speaking, it's not easy to use.」

Kazane responded to Louise's words. In fact, Kazane felt that using magical power normally was like draining water through a hose, but in contrast, that inexhaustible source of magical power was like water bursting out of a dam all at once.

Despite that, it didn't give any benefits to Kazane's body, and I didn't feel like she herself had gotten stronger. Kazane felt that while it was powerful, it was hard to use.

「If you're able to do this much in 3 minutes, that should be enough for anything you want, don't you think? Besides, I discovered this after coming back here, but it would be best not to use it too much. The concentration of mana here is now low, so I think magic has become difficult to use. It should also be difficult to use magical tools right now... well, it should return to normal sooner or later, though.」

After Louise's words, Kazane made a discomfited expression and groaned.

「Hmm.」

「What is it?」

After Louise's question, Kazane opened her mouth.

「As a matter of fact, I'm in the middle of building Kazane Land. A town like the buildings I made in the magic hot spring town... I'm constructing a bit with Golem Maker. I was thinking that next time I raise my Level, I would use Apprenticeship Cancellation and build it.」

「No, in the first place, what are you planning to build by using something like that?」

「Well, I want to prepare things like a castle near the magic hot spring town.」

Louise made a dumbfounded expression, and Kazane replied like that. When she heard that, Louise groaned.

「Mm... if you don't use as much as this time... if you keep it to about one-third of the amount, I think the Naga Line will settle down in about a week. Don't build anything more than necessary to keep the scale small, and get permission from Queen Yuuko.」

「Ok.」

As might be expected, if she wanted to incorporate it into the construction of her own city, Louise couldn't freely object. Louise was an adult, so she thought about the effect on the surroundings to give advice and urged her to get approval from a person with responsibility.

And so, it seemed a castle was planned to be built in Kazane Magic Hot Spring Town.

Furthermore, since Audin Tower had fired up Yuuko-nee's sense of rivalry, persuasion was expected to be simple.

Yumika: 「Kazane, don't make the entire castle crystal.」

Kazane: 「Why?」

Yumika: 「If seen from below, the insides of skirts and the like will be in full view.」

Kazane: 「Ah. Come to think of it, I've seen glass-enclosed toilets on TV before, but being like that would be bad, huh. Maybe I should make everything like smoked glass?」
