"Another ...... what the hell is that ......?
'Hahaha!　I'm sorry, but I can't answer that yet.

　I couldn't help but ask, but the answer was understandable.

　I'm sure it would have been spelled out long ago if it was something I could reveal here.

"Well, there's only one thing I can reveal that's related to the original role of ...... rainbow rainbow rainbow scales.

　The rainbow scale knights, their original role is temple supervision.

　In addition to managing and monitoring the numerous faiths and countless temples that exist throughout the continent, it is also responsible for lending its war power to small and medium sized temples that are difficult to guard by themselves.

　In addition, it also plays an important role in researching and collecting data on faiths in various regions.

　The relationship between the gods, beliefs, and the 'skills' that the gods are supposed to give in return for their faith ...... is also an important role of the Rainbow Rainbow Rainbow rainbow scale knights.

　Like Hild's research on ancient magical civilizations, some of the Order's members have dabbled in other genres of research, but that is the theme of the Order's overall research.

　If the hypothesis His Majesty is reluctant to publish has to do with any of them, then the social impact would certainly have to be strong.

''...... I understand. Even if the Demon King's Army reveals its(s) hand(s) to the White Wolf Knights, I will be careful not to spread it carelessly.
Mm, that would be great.

　Perhaps the reason why His Majesty went out of his way to visit our room was to put a nail in the coffin on this matter.

　It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with your friends.

'Heh ...... this is an alloy of adamant and mithril.

　You can continue chatting without regard to the fact that Her Majesty is talking, as expected of a princess.

　It's not a monarch, but a father. That's probably what His Majesty Alfred is to Ezer.

The color and shine is not much different from the high quality goods sold at the store, is it?
It's only because it's a messed up piece of steel that it's adamant. But its strength and sharpness are not so great.
'Hmm, I thought my sword was great too, but I guess it was easily overtaken.
You're the only one who can amplify your skills. I asked Noir about it, and he said there's no way to duplicate that kind of thing on a scale that can be put into a sword.

　Garnett and Ezell place their swords on each other's knees and express their own opinions on the subject.

　It's not a bit ...... as a topic for the girls to exchange knee to knee, and it's quite unflattering and disturbing.

　But it's a very Garnett-like topic.

　Maybe it's guys like this that attracted me to Garnett too.

　As I was thinking this, there was another knock on the door of my room.

　I wonder who's coming this time.
　Since His Majesty is here, in some cases, you may have to ask him to put it off until later, so I decide not to ask him to enter suddenly, but to ask him about his business first.

"Who are you?

　But the response was unexpected.

You're under the command of General Norzli, Frosty. You will be able to find out the best way to get the best out of this. I'd like to ask for Luke White Wolf's services as well.










　As Luke White Wolf was facing King Alfred, Shiranui Sakura was stepping outside the fifth level alone.

　The area near the entrance of the labyrinth was a depression one level down from the surrounding ground, its surface layer disguised by an illusion of a magma sea.

　However, when you look up at the illusion from below, there is nothing to block the dark ceiling of the fourth level, and you can almost forget the fact that this place is hidden from view.

"Shiranui. What in the world are you doing in a place like this?

　Kirigakure Nagi called out from behind her.

　Next to her was her partner, the attribute wizard Melissa, who was also next to her.

　Sakura is neither angry nor uncomfortable, but in her natural state of mind, neither angry nor uncomfortable, she turned to Nagi with a smile on her face, as she relaxed her excess energy.

''It's just a walk. I've made an offer to the Demon King's Army. They said if you don't go outside the illusion, then do what you want.
'Totally ...... carefree, isn't it? We may not be able to say it's enemy territory ...... anymore, but it's probably a place we should be wary of.
'I've been warned. I even noticed you guys were here when we came out of the labyrinth entrance.
'I didn't mean it that way, but ......, well, that's okay.

　Nagi shook her head with a dumbfounded face.

　Melissa, on the other hand, seemed unable to control her fear and caution, and was looking around constantly.

　This is the real headquarters of the Demon King's army, and if you leave the hollow, you'll find a scorching hot area where demons are swarming.

　If anything, a reaction like Melissa's would be more normal.

''I'm also an adventurer by nature. This is such a curious place, it would be a shame not to do one bit of exploring, wouldn't it?

　After saying that, Sakura looked up at the ceiling again.

I'm sure you'll be able to find it in the hollow, even though it was so hot outside of the illusion, the temperature inside the hollow is the right temperature that doesn't require heatproof equipment. If not, it would be difficult for dark elves to live ...... or maybe they have some kind of wards in place.
You can talk about that sort of thing later with the White Wolf Order researchers.

　Nagi easily dismissed the storytelling that was built on intellectual curiosity and immediately stepped into the main topic.

''After hearing about ...... the Demon King Gandalf, you needed to sort out your emotions.
'Goodness. Why don't you put that sharpness to work on Melissa instead of me?

　With a roundabout way of speaking that was like a joke, Sakura affirmed Sakura's conjecture.

　The information that Gandalf, the Demon King, had mentioned, as Nagi had guessed, had shaken Sakura's emotions to no small degree.

　It was unexpected even for Sakura herself, but perhaps the Demon King himself had no intention of doing so.

''The Tower of Brilliance was a dungeon built by the comrades of Alphasul. That much is fine. But ...... I wonder why those human names were Hinokagabiko and Hinokagahime. Aren't these names the same as the names of the gods in their hometown?
