Ray receives wind ores, but shortly afterwards unexpected words are leaked from Liberte's mouth.

"Ray, your symbol, the tornado of fire. I'd like to see it. Can you show me?"
"...what?"

　Ray, who had never expected such words to come out of Liberte's mouth, could be described as stupid.
　In fact, many in the room besides Ray were surprised by Liberte's sudden proposal, so it's clear that it wasn't originally planned.
　However, Ray could not easily agree to this proposal, even if it was Elena's father Liberte.
　The fire whirlwind is one of Ray's tricks.
　Unlike the Red Armour of the Flame Emperor, there are many people who know about it, but in the case of a fire whirlwind, it is not something that can be done about it.
　I wouldn't say that it's impossible to deal with it personally because the tornadoes of flames move freely... but it's very difficult.
　If you're a notorious adventurer or a Rank S adventurer, you might do something about it.
　There's no doubt that this doesn't make it easy for people to be seen.
　At Liberte's request, Ray opens his mouth to say no... but before Ray speaks, Liberte spins his words again.

"Of course, I'll pay you. A wooden barrel containing wind-mongering ore that Ray had just put in. I'll put another one on it. ... What do you think?"

　an unexpected...or an exceptional reward.
　Rey tries to nod half reflexively to Liberte's words, but he cools down a little because the reward is too high.

"Why did you do that all of a sudden? And I think it's a bit too expensive."
"No, I think it's a fair reward. ... No, maybe it's only because you don't know this. If you take a look at the tornado of fire that Ray uses, there are many people who will pay more than I do."
"... Is that what it is?"
"Well, and I'm not the only one to show you Ray's flame tornado, and I'd like to show it to the knights and some nobles who serve me, though, I think a barrel of wind-magic ore would be much cheaper."
"I see. Is that your aim?"

　Normally, it's not interesting to have your trump card made a show of.
　However, as Ray understood what Liberte was thinking, he understood and understood some of his thoughts.

(Perhaps some of the nobles are Marquis of Seysor.)

　In yesterday's incident, the Marquis of Seysore is undoubtedly owed a great debt to the Duke of Kelebel.
　He had mobilized the Marquis Seysore's forces in a city ruled by the leader of his faction.
　In some cases, it is not strange to think that the Marquis of Seysor had engaged in a fight against the Duke of Kelebel.
　Besides, it is certain that the Marquis Seysalls will not be able to hold their heads against the Duke of Quevel for a while... in some cases for decades.
　At this time, Ray's feelings were different from those of the past, leaning toward whether he could use the fire whirlwind.

(And if I could get another barrel of wind-magic ore, what would it be like to share it with you in a fire whirlwind... you could see it.)

　You don't have to use a whole barrel to test the effectiveness of wind‐magic ore.
　It's a trial, so half a barrel... a quarter in some cases would be fine.
　That's what I thought... and then I'll make a decision.

"All right. I'll take care of the matter."
"Oh! That's a relief. I wanted to see the fire whirlwind with my own eyes at least once."
"So? When are you going to do it? I can't stay in Anesis forever."
"Well, how about today...?"

　What Liberte said was completely unexpected to Ray.
　Regardless of asking for a fire whirlwind, Ray never expected it to come today.
　But if they keep doing it today, it's something that Ray hopes will do.
　I'm not leaving Annesis tomorrow, but I'm still convinced that I should finish the fire whirlwind as soon as possible.

"All right. Then from today on."
"It would be helpful if you would do so. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"I don't mind that. Or rather, it would be more flashy after dark than in the light of a tornado of fire."

　Ray woke up well past noon... about 3 p.m.
　And now is before 4 p.m.
　Under these circumstances, it is necessary to contact the Marquis of Seysor and the rest of the nobility still in Annesis, gather the Knights of Kerebel, and let the chiefs know that there is a fire whirlwind outside Annesis.
　Knights and soldiers would soon be assembled if they were assembled.
　...although some may be dissatisfied with the fact that so many people feel like training and work is coming to an end today.
　But when compared to such knights and soldiers, the aristocracy does not immediately gather because they have told them to come.
　It's even under the orders of Liberte, who is leading the aristocracy.
　It may be earlier than usual, but the nobles have their own business to do.
　In particular, many of the aristocrats who still remain in Annesis to negotiate with other aristocrats…or merchants…and some may be in the process of negotiating with themselves.
　It's no use telling such nobles to come at once.
　with the exception of the Marquis of Seysall, who owed a great debt to the Duke of Kelebel.

"Well, then, let us get ready at once. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"I don't know about it, so I'll leave it to you, Mr. Liberte."

　This was how Ray ended up creating a fire whirlwind in an unexpected place.





　It's already five o'clock in the afternoon, but at this time of year the sun is falling and the moon and stars are floating in the night sky.
　In the midst of the situation, Ray and Sett stood a short distance from Anesis.
　Not only Ray and Sett are, of course, outside the Annesis, but also Elena, Arla, Liberte... and even Arcadia a little further away.
　There was even a figure of Filma leading the Knights of Kerebel as bodyguards...and other figures of knights and soldiers.
　It's not just the Duke of Kelevel, of course.
　The marquis of Seysore, and other figures of the nobility, were convenient -- or forced -- to do so.
　If we were told that we could see Ray's trump card, or a tornado of flames, it was only natural to try to see it as much as possible.

"No, I never thought I could see a tornado of flames firsthand."
"Not at all. I was lucky to remain in Annesis, though I had something to do."
"Thinking of that, I feel sorry for those who quickly returned to their territories."
"I came here with a half-forceful negotiation with my acquaintances. ... I should have liked to have negotiated a little more thoroughly."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. That's also an experience."

　Thus, the nobles who are able to come to this place celebrate their good fortune.
　The aristocrat, who has been pushing the negotiations together, says bitter things in his mouth, but his expression shows an indisputable curiosity about the fire whirlwind that he will be able to this day.
　Meanwhile, a man appears in front of everyone.
　The bonfire around him made it easy to identify the person.
　This is the man who has gathered so many people... Duke Liberte Kelebel.

"They called me all of a sudden, but they did a good job of getting me together this time because I was going to use the flame tornado with the reward I paid for my crimson, so I was going to show it to them, and I was going to let others see it anyway."That's what Liberte said, but it's only natural that the aristocrats who stayed in Annesis knew about the disturbance that took place last night, and they could expect it to be a reward for the affair.
　Among them, there was only one smiling but very bitter inside, and it was clear who it was.
　The nobles around him, too, distance themselves... from Zascar Seysore.
　Zascar can't say anything about the aristocracy around him.
　Indeed, this incident has undoubtedly left the Duke of Kelebel with a great... too much debt.k.
　That being the case, it could have been even more unsavory to say something badly in the current situation.
　Liberte glances at Zascar and calls out again.

"Well, now it's getting dark, and it's just the right time to see a tornado of flames. ... Now, Ray!"

　It was Liberte telling us so, but Ray's location is well away from Liberte' sake.
　Of course, asking for it would not be heard, but would give Ray a signal by waving the torches that the soldier had.
　Then a few seconds... the first thing I felt was that I had some fighting experience.

"Is this... the wind coming out?"

　Today is unusual for this season, with no snow at night, no clouds in the night sky, no wind.
　That was the situation, but... I noticed that the wind was gradually coming out.
　The wind gradually grows stronger and eventually becomes a tornado as you can see.
　Even if the lights aren't that high on a winter night, you'll know how big a tornado it is because you can understand it as a tornado.
　Even under such circumstances, however, some people could not see the tornado... the next moment, when they saw it in flames like armour, they could see it, even if they were a little blind.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,"

　nobles, knights, soldiers
　Without distinction, the appearance of a tornado of flames is a cry of astonishment.
　...with astonishment, but without fear, perhaps because Ray understands that he cannot attack Liberte here in this situation.
　In fact, the tornado of flames never made its way to where Libertes were, and remained motionless from where they appeared.
　Those who were there were fascinated by the tornado of fire... and soon the tornado of fire began to change.

"What is this sound?"

　I don't know who was the first to raise such a question.
　But not long after the voice was uttered, others gradually noticed a high-pitched squeaking sound from the tornado of flames.
　A real tornado of fire never makes that sound, though... unfortunately, few people here have seen a tornado of fire.
　Also, even those who had seen it during the war with the Empire of Bestia had no recollection of whether it had sounded like that before.
　But even these people could assert that the change that occurred in the next moment in the tornado of fire was clearly the first thing they saw.
　because there were many, many, many blades of wind all over the place of the flame tornado.
　The tornado's blaze probably gave us a firsthand look at the blade of the wind.

"That's probably the power of wind-mongering ore."

　As Liberte turns his eyes on him, Filma replies briefly.
　Liberte nods back to affirming his prediction that the situation was not irregular.
　And in front of everyone's eyes, a tornado of fire with countless blades of wind moves slowly.
　However, the direction in which it moved was without Libertes... and without roads, so the spectators were not particularly upset.
　But the tornado of fire was so large that I could see it from Annesis... there must have been a lot of trouble, though Liberte was speaking through.
