Back in Leaprich, before Ix's recovery and forgetting, I decided to get some new magic. It's fire magic and sea magic. I'll need 12 points.

You have acquired fire magic and your fire magic has evolved. Your fire magic will now take over.
We have acquired fire magic [Torrid Hell] and [Flame Circle].
You have gained sea magic and your water magic has evolved. The water magic you acquired will be retained.
"We've acquired sea magic [Carent Rapids] and the Water World.

That leaves me with 52 skill points left.

I want to bust out some new magic, but let's prioritize the celebration.

Well, no matter how much I want to be secretive, people I know will inevitably find me. And there's no way I can escape from Mel and the others who know I'm not good at this sort of thing.

That's why I'm going to participate in a victory party with Mel and the others. Fretia is currently in festive form. The praise for Aeon in particular is tremendous... is this okay? I've got a bad feeling about this whole mess.

''It can't be helped. Even though I knew, Aeon-chan looked divine.

"...Yeah. That was awesome.

'But I wanted to beat that Dullahan!　If only we hadn't had a time limit, we could have beaten it!

In fact, Mel and the others were actually pushing Dullahan. Even though they were stronger, they were probably even more frustrated because everyone would have assumed that much and responded immediately.

''But then again, how can you afford to have a victory celebration like that?

There's a quest for food at the request of the Adventurers' Guild. There are a lot of people on the old island who have been killing hordes of dinosaurs and wildebeest and doing nothing but foraging for food. It was a great opportunity to get a little rich.

Ah... we had an enemy like that. It was impossible at that time because it was poisoned, but you could get it as normal meat once the poison was gone.

I found out later that the Duke's family, or Liese's family, had also requested this quest.

This information was posted on the bulletin board, and apparently many players participated and earned money because it was a great opportunity to earn money. Me? I delivered some meat, but I didn't know it was going to make that much money.

Well, the money is made in Liebling, and I'm finding the hot springs. If you compare making money with the hot springs, I'm the one who takes the hot springs. Well, maybe I can only say that because I can afford it.

When I arrive at the venue, humans and sub-race are eating together and making a lot of noise. I wish Lily and the others could see that.

'Good job, Tact-sama!'

'Thank you for your time, Brass. Are you sure you're not going to be at Princess Sarah's side?

I had to stop the princess from running off during the entire battle, so I asked her to change places with Garou, who was running amok.

Apparently, it was quite a challenge, Mr. Brass speaks.

'As for the enemy, it still only seems to buy us two days of time.

''I see... but if we can buy that much time, it's enough to prepare for the main mission, so we'll be fine.

That's not very convincing, is it, Mr. Tact?

Is it really that compelling? There are a number of things that make me uneasy. I'm particularly concerned about the amount of oil used. I heard that a large amount of oil has been prepared, but I'm still not sure if it will work.

Still, I have some trump cards left. There's a synchro-burst with Setia and Hephaistos' magic sword currently in the making, Setia's spirit summoning, love fire beastification, and Noah's dragonification.

''Princess Sylphy-sama told me about the example.

'What?　What are you talking about?

Yeah, I didn't tell Mel and the others.

"The mastermind behind this is, in all likelihood, Nebulous. When do you think he'll be here?

'What?　Isn't that when you broke the seal of the young tree forest or something?

'Normally I would think so. But if I were Nebilos, I'd never show up at that point in time.

It's what the brainiacs do when the enemy is ready for a fight. Nebilos was not that type. Rather, they would aim at the place where our forces are most vulnerable.

Right now I've used Lily and Aeon's Dragonization and Waxxu's Beastization. And in two days, these will not be lifted. When it comes to a large scale battle, the attrition is naturally intense... if Nebilos is going to aim for it, this should be the best timing.

''...Brother, I want you to quickly tell me about such important things.''

'Yes!　That's super important!

That's a prediction. I have no proof of this. But I've been talking to Princess Sylvie about how we should think about countermeasures against Nebilos.

Yes, the other day I came up with this idea in the middle of a conversation with Princess Gylfi and took measures.

I've been defending the event so far. I'm not going to let it go on forever. Battles are interesting because there is time to defend and time to attack.

Afterwards, I met up with Luke and his friends, and unfortunately, they couldn't evolve. But I heard that they'll evolve in another level or two, so the good foxes will evolve tomorrow.

And according to Takuma, Hanabi-chan will be able to evolve into a dragon in a little while. Well, I got it before the event. Noah's after the event, so it's not surprising that he's evolved soon. It's more like late.

Then I found Oskar-san and he told me about binding summons.

''Combined summoning is a summoning magic that is performed by preparing special items. Originally, there is a special quest in the Beast Demon Guild, but we can't summon them right now, so we don't have a quest posted.

So this time it's a summoning done with items... I guess the quest is more difficult. In the meantime, the limit of summoned beasts has been raised, but we'll see what we can do... Oskar-san said, but we can't do it now, so we enjoy the celebration for now. Afterwards, we brought the food to Lieprich, enjoyed the meal with Lily and the others, and logged out.
