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]] .
