A baboon.
　Once again, I tried to ask the Philosopher's Stone for information about it--.

"Oops.

　In a bit of excitement, I touched the Philosopher's Stone in my pocket and unintentionally removed it.
　The Philosopher's Stone rolled on the ground.
　It was a high-energy object, and Pee-chan jerked up.

　Not good, he said, and picked up the Philosopher's Stone.
　Then he pulled himself together and asked the stone again.

　The answer to the knowledge he wanted came right away.

　A baboon.
　It gleams like gold, but is far lighter than gold.
　It is harder than orichalcone and is a better conductor of all energy, including magic.

　Its high conductivity means that there is usually no loss at all, and its special structure even amplifies the power of the orichalcone.
　It is not uncommon for a person to conduct one kind of power or energy to become two in the end.

　It's truly a dream object, a god's metal that's just too fluffy to be called a god's metal.

　It's much stronger than the orichalcone, as long as you collect these: .......

Peechan, can you collect more of these?
"......

　Pee-chan stops at my feet and looks up at me intently.
　She doesn't say yes or no, she just stares at me.

P-chan?

　I crouched down, tilting my head and bringing my face closer.
　Pee-chan remains silent and does not respond.

　Her face appears to be sulking, but the air she wears is not.
　I know this air .......

　I reached out and patted Peechan.
　When he stopped, Peeky looked more and more like a furball.

　I stroked her for a while, and then she remained silent and walked away from me.
　Hmmm, I guess she wasn't going to make it.

　But then she stopped, turned around, and stared at me.

Do you want me to follow you?
"......

　Pee-chan still didn't answer, but this time she was like "follow me" and started walking again.

　I'm not sure, but I'll follow her.

　I followed her for a while, and she came to a large rock in the garden that resembles Mount Morrison.
　It's the mountain we used to control and test physical attacks a few times before.

　Peechan snuggled into the rock and began to take a bite out of it.
　Bump, bump, bump!

　I don't know what you want.
　This huge rock, modeled after Morrison's mountain, has no energy at all.
　A pillbug would never look at it.
　But now Pee-chan is gnawing on it.

　I wondered what she was trying to do, and I kept looking at it for 30 minutes.
　Pee-chan crushed all the big rocks and came back to me.

　He stops at his feet and looks up at me.

What's this?　I mean, was it okay to eat a rock with not a shred of energy like that?
"...... bad

　Peechan said just that one word. I knew that objects without energy were no good from a pill bug perspective.
　I mean, if it's bad, I shouldn't have eaten it.

　Pee-chan spat out a pill bug.

　A cane the size of a grain of sand was spat out in front of me.

"What's this?
"I found it inside, give it to you.

　Could it be because ...... felt a single baboon in that huge rock?

"...... I see, thank you.

　He ate a lot of things for me that I didn't want to eat, but he found a baboon that he wanted to eat the most and gave it to me.

　I was so happy to see him, so I gave him the hollyhock and pet Pee-chan.
　Pee-chan looked pleased with me.

　After that, Pee-chan started walking again.
　This time she stopped at a certain point and then dug out of the ground.

　There's a baboon under there.
　That's what we've learned so far.

"Pee-chan, take it easy.
"...... hmm

　Peechan glanced at me and sniffed.
　But he wouldn't stop, he just dug a hole.

　He dug a hole and unearthed the baboons and refined them for me.

　　　　　.

　Three days later, in my room.
　In front of me was a large amount of baboons.

　Pee-chan had worked hard in her sleep to collect it, and it was enough for a longsword swing.

"Thank you, P-chan.
"...... separately

　She was still quiet as ever, but she stayed at my feet and pressed herself against me.
　I've learned over the past few days that he's not very obedient with his mouth, so I pet him to praise him.
　Her mouth is blunt, but a happy smile appears on her face.

　Now I have to put the money Pee-chan collected for me to good use.
　I pulled out a lot of knowledge from the Philosopher's Stone, but I've come to the conclusion that the sword is the best weapon.

　It's the most orthodox and has no peculiarities and can be used in almost any situation.


　If I could only make one thing in quantity, I thought the sword would be the best choice.

　To make the sword, first I need to melt the hollyhock seed.
　I heated up the hollyhock with fire magic.

It will not melt." ......

　Even as the flames glowed pale and heated to the point that your skin burned just standing beside them, the baboons in the flames didn't budge.

　It was still there as a pile of sand grains that didn't change in color and emitted a glittering brilliance greater than gold.

　That's the metal of the gods, and it didn't faze me.

　Then I will increase the temperature of the flames with my magic and raise the temperature of the flame.
　Catch your peak, mupapato style, at 120% of the wave and pack it in one go.

　The flames flare up!　and gaining momentum, but .

...... lie.

　His eyes widened.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find it in the flames, which are nearly twice as strong as before, but the baboons still didn't spook.
　Is it no good ...... no!

　I caught a glimpse of Peeky.

　She was so hot that she hid behind my back, but she was still hot, and her fur was burning.
　Even though she was burning, she wouldn't move.

　The money she had collected for me, I didn't want to waste it.

　I took a deep breath.
　I decided to do something I rarely did before--I decided to give it my all.

　I had one weakness--no, a flaw--in being born again with my memories.

　I was an adult inside.
　Adults are distinctly inferior to children in that they can't just go all out.

　A child is always living life to the fullest.
　Often they are playing happily one minute, and the next they fall asleep like a puppet whose strings have been broken.
　That's because they are living life to the fullest.

　Adults can't do it, and I can't do it either.

　That's what I'm going to do at .......

　I give it all I've got, don't think about it, just give it my all.
　As an adult, you have to let go of the natural limiters that come naturally to you.

　The Mupapaato method.
　120%...... 121...... 122...... 122...... 123......... ....
　Limits further beyond the limits, raising them .

Hah!

　SSS rank, another 200% of its magic power, all at once poured into the baboon kane.

　Flames shine white, clothes are partially scorched and punctured.
　But still -- "No ?

You're not ......?

　The baboon in the fire did not change its appearance at all .
　So far. .......

　Just when I thought it was over.
　The philosopher's stone rolled out from inside his burnt clothes.
　The Philosopher's Stone, which I had been carrying around with me, was falling toward the flames.

Ah--

　Reaching out, trying to catch the Philosopher's Stone.

　--I got it.

　Jump!
　The outstretched hand stopped, a voice - I heard it.

　With a moment's hesitation, the Philosopher's Stone fell into the flames.
　Beyond its limits, in a flame that burned with the full force of SSS rank magic.
　And then - it shone.

　Within the glowing white flames, a brighter light shone even brighter.

There. ......

　That's my magic.

　It reminds me of the day I made it.
　The Philosopher's Stone is a high-energy body made of my magical power condensed.
　In the flames, that energy broke through its dependency, the stone, and was unleashed all at once.

　An SSS-ranked magic power.
　That's it--for two people.

　In the dazzling light, in the flames that increased the heat even more.
　The baboon finally lost its heat and turned into melted iron.

　--I can help you more!

　From the baboons, I could hear the will of the Philosopher's Stone, which I had always carried with me.
　I could hear the will of the Philosopher's Stone, which I had been carrying around with me.
