Chapter2.01



 The time passed slowly in the fairyland.
 Krusty, equipped with a cotton-filled cloth basket (mitten), put his hand into the furnace. If it was in the age of Earth, it would be a disaster to hold it in one hand with a 45-centimeter square plate, but in Seldesia, the weight was nothing to worry about. Pull it out as it was.
 On top of the steel plate is a shallow pot.
 The kitchen of the Temple of the White Peach is quite large, and it is as large as a large convenience store. We have all kinds of cooking utensils, but compared to the Earth world, there is not much variation. Still, there are about fifty copper or iron pots and pans of different sizes, some shallow and some deep.
 The one that Krusty pulled out of the stone kiln is one of them, a copper pot with a brilliant luster. It is more of a confectionery mold than a pot, though.
 What you can see from above is a fox-colored dough. It is made by beating flour with what looks like butter and cold water. The point is to make multiple layers of the dough while chilling it. Underneath is a layer of scorched fruit sweetened with sugar.
 In short, it's just sweetened peaches or biwa and put in an oven for a while with a layer of wheat batter on top. It is a pastry to fool a child.
 Krusty is not a gifted cook, but he can cook.
 It's a task.
 A recipe is a manual, and a manual is something that is created so that a person with no talent can get results if he follows the instructions. Cooking is a task, which can be done by anyone with a manual.
 In the world of Seldesia, talent is more important than on Earth, so even cooking requires sub-jobs (cooks) and a new wife's apron (item). In this world, a manual that can be implemented by anyone is of little value. It's no wonder they didn't develop. As far as Krusty has been able to find out, there are almost no practical technical books on this world (Seldesia).
 It's not surprising, then, that adventurers from Earth are able to make pastries (tarte tatin).
 A sincere and delicious meal is too much to ask for, but if you know what to do, it's not too difficult to recreate.

 Normally, I would refrigerate it for a while, but Krusty got bothered and turned the pot over onto the "cold air platter". That action moved the pie crust from the top to the bottom, and the unmolded pastry took on the appearance of a cake topped with stewed fruit.
 Krusty thought about it for a moment, then placed a slice of fresh peach and a peach blossom on the plate. He would have liked to garnish them with vanilla ice cream, but he didn't have it right now, and it would take a lot of work to make. It was a bit of a mess, so I decorated it a bit. It is impossible to get peach blossoms when the peaches are in full bloom, but we are in the fairyland of peaches, and the blossoms and fruits are plentiful throughout the year.

'You look good, Sen-kun?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Can I have some candy?
I don't know.
I'm sure he's thinking nasty things.
 I can hear his whispering voice. They are the Diaojins. Most of them were as dim and hazy as steam. They are described as officials of the Heavenly Palace, but in reality they seem to be spirit-like beings. Even if they do materialize, they are at best a furry wanker or otter, and the flower marten that can clearly capture the human form is an elite one.
 Krusty thought for a moment, then moved the platter to the table.
 He turns his back to hide the plates from the eyes staring out of the doorway, clinking his spoon and fork for a while, and when the time is right, he puts the plates in his "magic bag" and exposes the empty table to the eye.
 An inarticulate scream rang out.
"We ran out of candy!
I ate it!
He's been eaten!
A plate?
It's you, Sen.
Why? Why?
 The shocked and sorrowful voice arrives as the Western sweets I was expecting to receive disappear. At the edge of my vision I could see a smoky shadow that hadn't materialized and was loitering at the foot of the doorway.

 It's too easy to understand.
 → Because it's an animal spirit?
  →They claim to be an official of the Heavenly Palace.
  →This is a different world.
   →So the judgment that "they are simple because they are animals" is also rash.
  →There are beings that are as simple as this, even humans.
   (ex1) Like the fox monkeys.
   (ex2) Isaac, for example.
 ←In other words, it's an unfair judgment to say that they are animal spirits.
 →(ex1) The possibility that they happen to be very hungry at the moment.
 ←It's always denied because it's like this.
 ← A little (slang).
  ← You could rephrase it as cuteness.
   →A little more bullying is better.
    →Does that mean you want me to be more patient?
    ↑How about that hobby too?
   → durability is necessary for the object of entertainment.
  → tedium is poisonous.

 In the first place, it's a baked good made for them, so you can't just toss it in your bag. You can only shrug your shoulders because it's like a reflex that you've made fun of them.
''It's all there.
 Krusty turned and held out a platter.
 To his breathtakingly delighted reaction, he announced, "Come gather in the dining room with your small plates.
 At Krusty's suggestion, the unseen shadows ran off in a flash. All that was left was a petite child, Huadiao (Faadiao), about a meter tall.
 As I was chopping up a fruit pie with an apologetic Hualiao, a translucent mole brought a plate out of nowhere and placed it on top of the plate, which was cut into small pieces. Krusty sat down on a modest oak-made chair, leaving the middle of the line to Hua Diao (Fardejao), who had offered to do it for him.
 Tch-tch-tch. The sound of small, pecking birds can be heard.
 A golden light shone through the circular cruciform wooden window at an angle, illuminating Krusty's white, clear profile.
 In the fairyland of everlasting spring, even a corner of the kitchen is like a paradise with an aromatic scent in the air. It was luscious and peaceful, like a noontime sleep.
 It was the Diaojins' spirits that were a bit rowdy, which caused Krusty to pour his tea. As much as he hated to admit it, it was Snow White's role to take care of the chores of the seven dwarfs.  I'm sure he'll laugh at me.

 Apparently, he still has a memory deficit.
 →Should I deal with it?
  →In general terms, forgetting your memory is an everyday event.
  ↑I personally have had little experience with it.
   →Forgetting is a new experience for me.
    →Shouldn't you take a vacation to rest your bones at this point?
     → I'm enjoying myself to the fullest.
  → What's the harm in that? (Pragmatic judgment)
   →It doesn't currently exist.
 →It depends on the reason.
  → The reason for this is currently unknown.
   → Could it be due to bad status?
    → Just circulate to the unknown cause of bad status.
  Consideration of the need to seek a reason for the ↑.

'It sounds like we need to get down to the middle of nowhere, after all.
"Huh?
 Huadiao (Fadiao) let out a strange voice and looked at Krusty in surprise. Seeing the tea-colored sugar stew around her mouth, she must have finished serving and was savoring the baked goods herself.
'What is it?'
Dear Sen. You can't go down to Wolfsack Mountain. There are many ways to get to the Sky-Wolf Cave, but there are restrictions on rank and number of people. According to the word of the Adventurer, a group of four to six adventurers between levels 80 and 90 can pass through. I heard that there are other ways to get to the base of the mountain, but from the top of the mountain you have to go through the longest cave.
 That's it.
 Krusty scrutinized the content a little more closely.
 What Flower Diao (Fardejao) is saying has an idea. Krusty once went down to the under the watchful eye of the girls, where he saw a huge bronze door at a dead end. That must be the door with a level screening. The zone beyond that is probably a level-only dungeon area. This feature is relatively rare in Yamato, but can be found in dungeons such as large scale battle (raid) zones and instances.
 The Tenrou-dong is probably a collection of dungeons of the same name. The interior of the dungeon is roughly the same, with different monsters at different levels. It would be a waste of development resources to design a single dungeon that only a small portion of the user base would enjoy. This is the idea behind the creation of these multi-leveled zones.
 I understood the design philosophy, but it was not convenient for Crusty.
I see. That won't help us get down the mountain, will it?
''Yes. But Xian-kun is Xian-kun, so there's no trouble, right?
Is that so?
"Because Xiankun is a hermit crab, right? That's why I think Xiankun should go to the White Peach Temple. .... well, it's delicious.
 Aside from the blushing muttering at the end, it's quite unreasonable. If I were to try to complement it, it would be something like "Since hermits climb mountains to become hermits, Krusty, a hermit, should live in the mountains".
 Apparently, some of the settings on the Nakahara server were influenced by Taoist mythology. If that's the case, it's not unreasonable to say that hermits = people who live in the mountains. There must have been a scene in the Fudan Engi where the situation of being ordered to descend the mountain was discussed with similar nuances to excommunication. So it's understandable that he should stay in the mountain.
 Except for the fact that Krusty is not a hermit.

 The reason why Krusty has been mistaken for a hermit, perhaps an "ancient species" in the first place, is probably because of the abnormality in his status display. The marten's sorcerers may not be aware of it, but it's also probably due to the 180-level bad status, which is known as the Spiritual Badge. Even in the chaos of the post-Disaster world, 180 levels are prohibitively strong. The upper limit of what an adventurer can do is 90, and even Yamato is at 100. When you think about it, Krusty hanging such a bad status icon, he must look like an "ancient species" (a special NPC).
 I have no desire to blame him for that misunderstanding, but I can't wait to explain and clear up the misunderstanding.
 In the process of explaining, he would be asked many questions, a small percentage of which even Krusty could not answer. In the first place, I don't feel that the current situation and the situation after the misunderstanding is cleared up will be much different.
 In the luscious sunshine, Krusty looked at Hua Diao (Fardejao) absent-mindedly grabbing a wooden spoon (spoon) and thought for a moment.
''Those baked goods, but they're really served with vanilla ice cream.
Vanilla?
It's a cold, sweet, creamy ice candy. Do you know what they are?
I don't know.
 'I see,' continued Krusty, nodding.
'We might be able to find that material down in the village.
'I understand! I will cooperate with you as an official of heaven to help you get off the Wolf King Mountain.
 Crusty thought in dismay at Huadiao, who nodded repeatedly with vigor.

Chapter 2.02



 The name of that mountain is Wolf King Mountain.
 I'm sure you're not the only one who knows that. It's just that I see.
 But it's the same for Kanami and Coppelia. After all, the land around here is too dry and desolate. For the past hour, all I've seen are cracked rocks and cliffs and the shadows of pea-sized birds soaring astonishingly high.
 I suppose it makes sense that we're going to Mount Wolfsbane, but I don't know what constitutes a mountain, and whether this is it or not. I've been walking at high altitudes and steepness for a long time, and every two hours or so I climb a step that requires the use of my entire body.
 That's a mountain.
 For Leonardo, a New Yorker, this is a raving mountain. It's the bosom of the mountain.
 I'm not sure I agree with you that we're headed for the mountains.
 Let's just call it a mountain.
"Isn't this where we're going?
We're almost there.
 To Leonardo's disgusted question, Chun-Lu's stamped response to Chun-Lu's disgusted question was the fourth or fifth time since morning.
"Is this already the Wolf King Mountain?
 Elias visited me on behalf of Leonardo.
 Nice. With that in mind, Leonardo looked over at Elias.
 I would really like to give him a thumbs up (thumbs up), but the mountain path takes away his energy and that's not possible. The body of an adventurer is a bundle of endurance (toughness), but the rocky terrain with its ups and downs is more of a drain on mental energy.
 Leonardo is a city boy. His only experience of moving up a sloping hill is on the roller machine at the fitness gym.
 No, well, if it was Marvel's spider man, he would be flying through high-rise buildings with the sticky thread 《spider strings》 coming out of his palm, but if anything, Leonardo is the type that moves horizontally in a sewer.
 With a troubled smile on his face, Chun-Lou said, ''We have already entered the Wolf King Mountain since last night. This one of the peaks over there is-- I'd like to point out the peak in the far west," he said, waving his finger slowly from his feet to the back of his head, "I'd say that's roughly the Wolfsbane Mountain.
 I understand, Leonardo thought.
 But he was still not convinced. If the destination is Wolfsbane Mountain and this is Wolfsbane Mountain, then it should be the goal," he said. No, it should be the goal.
 I know that. That's childishly selfish.
 In other words, Leonardo is just fed up with this mountain trail.
 Kanami, who was walking in the lead, was in a stupidly good mood.
 She hummed slightly out of tune and went on and on. Every once in a while she would suddenly disappear because she was crouched by the side of the road with a sickening agility, gazing at an unnamed flower.
 It was followed by Coppelia. She was carrying the biggest package of the group - a trunk-shaped magic bag. The only reason why she is able to carry the one-meter square and generous thickness without much difficulty is simply because of her physical strength. The Seiryoshinkan is the only main class of non-warrior priestesses that can be equipped with heavy armor, and she too wears the Victorian Armor, a handmaid's uniform made of steel sheet metal, during battle. Her strength is also high, which is appropriate for this setting. It's even higher than Leonardo's at the same level.
 Well, even Leonardo's muscular strength value in the numerical sense of the word is more than 30 times higher than the average "earthling," that is, his New York era self. He jumped down from a rock taller than his height and supported his weight with one hand while thinking about this.
 There's no such thing as a body screaming because of the difficulty of the trail.
 It's that you're slumped in an unfamiliar environment, or that you're bored.
 Perhaps sensing this, Chun-ruo explained to me with a wry smile in his voice, "When you enter the mountain, the gradient is steep.
''When you enter the mountain, it's a series of steep slopes, and there's a lot of complications going up and down. It's not as easy to see the triangular summit of the mountain as it is to see it from a plain in the distance. The summit is supposed to be in the southeast, but you can't see it from this position.
 We looked in that direction and saw a quay and an alpine forest jutting out of it. It would certainly be a challenge to climb that way.
There are five of us, a warrior, a weapon and a restorer. It would be a little different if we had a flying spell (fly), but I'm sorry for the half-assed directions.
 Chun Cui (Chunluo) bowed his head a little apologetically.
 She was much more polite than she had imagined at the beginning.
''There's no need to be so formal. It's just that I'm not used to climbing mountains.''
Okay.
 Leonardo said with a wave of his hand.
 It's true that I'm not good at this kind of wilderness. I haven't been in this kind of wilderness since I was a boy scout, when I was almost kidnapped and forced to join. The night dawned while I was trying to stifle a scream in the insect-infested tent. It was a nauseating memory.
 But that doesn't mean I can't treat a woman. That doesn't make me a hero.
 Leonardo knows that we are the cause of her change.
 And he knows it. A group of five men headed into a valley full of hundreds of Ash-Spotted Demons, a crazy bunch of them. Moreover, after they rejoined us, I told them that there were thousands of them, not hundreds, and that they had an aerial battle with a large battle (raid) class black dragon, and that they had a big fight with an unseen new monster. It's no wonder they think I'm crazy.
(I mean, I think so too. You look like you're on drugs.)
 I don't want to get close to you, and if I do, I'll try not to offend you. In other words, it's he-synthetto. Leonardo scratched his head as he remembered the tactics he had learned from the Japanese. It's our fault.
If we were to go from the City of the Steppes to the Wolfsbane Mountain, there are better ways and prospects, but unfortunately we entered the mountain from the southwest.
 So I guess that's why I have to crawl around in a roadless canyon. It's a convincing story. Leonardo waved his hand again and said he didn't mind.
"The Sky Wolf Cave is located in the middle of Wolfsbane Mountain.
 Elias' voice comes from behind me.
 It's a hard, determined voice.
 The tingling urgency has faded, but it has become more powerful, as if it were assumed. Hearing that voice, Leonardo still felt a little troubled.
 Yesterday morning, with the same expression on his face, Elias said, "I want to go to a place called the White Peach Temple. It seems that the same "ancient species" or local residents are being oppressed by some kind of monster.
 Is that so? I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one," Leonardo thought, "but it's not that bad. It's just something that caught my attention.
 But it's the same for Kanami and Coppelia. The monsters of this world are basically the enemy characters in the game. Their basic action is to attack and kill humans. This is a combat game, so it's natural. If they are "torturing" you, they are probably harming you while you are still alive, but I doubt if they are going to go that route.
 The fact is, however, that there has been a noticeable change in the way monsters behave since the "catastrophe" that KR (KAIR) described. So, if you say they are "oppressing" us, is that true? Maybe that's just the way it is. That's all I can say.
 That's a "classic disaster".
(Hey hey hey hey hey...) Hey|Tamma 《Just a moment》. You're going to fight that creepy thing again! There isn't one. (Give me a break.)

You're a Lotus Sennin, aren't you? Who asked you to rescue her?
Yes. At the top of Wolfsbane Mountain, there's a sacred ground called the White Peach Temple. I heard it was occupied by demons.
What is a sacred land?
 Feeling the urge to hold his head up, Leonardo asked.
'Perhaps it's just like Fairyland.
 Elias replied, but as if he noticed Chun-Lu and Leonardo's gaze, he coughed dry several times and continued.
The Fairyland is a sort of hidden village in my hometown. It's a special region managed by an ancient species and exists in the deep woods and mountains. It is a land full of fairy magic, and is filled with powerful and ancient magic. Strange things happen there, and it is also a treasure trove of rare magical tools.
 --It's probably that kind of special zone. Leonardo once visited such a place as part of his adventures in the Elder Tail era. The Elder Tail was created as part of the Half-Gaia Project, even though it's a fantasy game. Its design is limited by its similarity to the Earth's terrain. That's why there are special zones throughout the game. The same is true of dungeons, in the broadest sense of the word.
 I've heard that the Fairyland and Fairyland are home to the "ancient species".
I'm not sure if I'm right. I don't know, I don't know, but I hear we're being attacked by a hefty monster?
Could it be a classic disaster?
 Chun Lui, who had been listening to the story from Leonardo and the others, asks with a serious expression. The answer would be yes. It is naive to think that someone who does such an incomprehensible thing is an ordinary monster. It's a man-hour calculation for sales.

It's a doggy. It's a mountain with a doggy!
It's a wolf, not a dog.
 Chun-Lou replied to Kanami, who was spinning on two wheels with the momentum of looking back. Kanami, who was at the head of the slope, said with a buoyant look on her face, "Mossamosaya de! Wow! And I'm piddling with joy. That's no good. Even Coppelia is expressionless, carrying her trunk. Leonardo's shoulders slumped.
'Oh. Kanami. You don't mind? You were listening to Elias, weren't you?
I heard that. Kelonardo. You're talking about how the hiding place on Doggie Mountain is in trouble because it's been taken over by monsters, right?
 I'm not a monster, I'm a demon.
 Mostly right...? Leonardo asks himself. Maybe it's mostly right. You can't expect Kanami to be accurate. She's a sketchy woman, like she's from Texas.
'Isn't the Master worried about you?
I'm not sure I understand it yet.
 Kanami ran her fingertips over her temples and nodded her head. This is unusual for her to be a boorish person. Whether or not she knew about Leonardo's thoughts, Kanami climbed up two or three large boulders with a lightness that made it seem as if there was no such thing as gravity, and then looked back again.
'And isn't that hard to think about? Because I want to go to Erieli and I want to see my doggie too. We'll figure it out when we go anyway!
 It's a completely Texan idea.
 Leonardo held his brows. I know exactly what I'm talking about. Anyone who says 'we'll think about it later' doesn't think about it later. Or rather, they don't think about it.
'Yes Master. I'll accompany you.
'Don't incite that part too unconsciously!
 Leonardo, who gave a token tweak to Coppelia's thinly-emotional agreement, still followed the little shadow, or in other words, Kanami, through the mountainside.



◆ Chapter 2.03



'That's ridiculous.'
 A strangled voice escaped from the throat of the devastated Elias.
''Call me an idiot, but...''
I'm sorry. I didn't know there was such a thing as this.
 Finally, Elias kneels in front of the large bronze door with wolf inlays blocking the entrance to the "Heavenly Wolf Cave".
 Leonardo and Chun-Lu are offering comforting words to him, but he is somewhat reluctant to do so. Elias couldn't understand their attitude and slammed his fist into the earth.
''Level 80 to 90 four to six man group only Death.
This is an instance-type dungeon.
 Kanami, who looked at Coppelia from the side as she checked the translucent window, also voiced her agreement. She sounded quite cheerful for a verdict,.
 Elias understands that. Elias is the first one to jump through the steep mountains, but the door sealed by the magical path of the Adventurer rejects him. But the door, sealed with the magic path that comes from the Adventurer, rejected Elias. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this as well.
 According to the words of the girl priest Coppelia, this is a sealing process by level - that is, battle rank.
"So it's my fault....
I'm not saying that you can't or won't.
 Even the words of his ally Leonardo, with his hands on his hips, were somewhat empty.
 The blue winter sky is high and clear and the cool mountain breeze is blowing, but Elias is in a dark and miserable state of mind. Even the salvation he had promised to his kindred nymphs is not in Elias' hands now.
 If the one hundred levels of power he obtained to help the world and the Earthlings are rejected because of their sheer power, then what is Elias going to do? What was the meaning of Elias's painful training and his past anguish? Isn't this like being told that you are not worthy of existence?
 Elias groaned, unable to express the pain that his companions would never be able to understand.

'I am the first!'
I'll bring the Coppellia with me.
'What? Huh? Hey, what's that look? I'm going too?!
Does that mean I'm one of them?
 The companions answer Kanami, who was pointing and checking each of their chests with bouncy steps. But what Elias gets as he looks up with a desire for salvation is, "You're not home, Erieli! I don't have a home, but I'm a stay-at-home BANG!
I have a mission to protect the same old species. I must go to the Temple of the White Peaches on top of the mountain and defeat the demons.
 Despite his desperate pleas, Elias' wishes are brushed aside.
'No, no, but you can't get into the dungeon,'
'Leonardo! Aren't you my friend in arms?
You think I'm gonna be a good sport about it?
 Leonardo looks to the side of his gaze and asks for consent, but Kanami is in a good mood and Coppelia is busy inspecting equipment for the dungeon. Elias is the one who would rather have the denial, so he doesn't want to do the same commission. As if he understood that, Leonardo also said, "It's okay. We'll take a look and if it's not good, we'll come back.
'You mean reconnaissance,'
Yeah, yeah, scouting! Sight-seeing!
 Beside Kanami, who is shouting cheerfully, an expressionless Coppelia follows up with, "Master, it's a tourist thing. I'm not sure if it's a follow-up or not.
 Anyway, it can't be helped if it's said that much.
 My heart, which sends out magic power with a heartbeat, is cutting and aching, but that doesn't mean I can't push that pain onto my friends. The pride of an elf knight is not cheap.
 Elias is a full-fledged elven man-child. If you ask if he can't complete a single standby mission, he has no answer other than "I'll complete it with flying colors and show you. In spite of that, I let out a regretful sigh, but I was able to look away from Kanami and the others, who were buzzing around with their hands.

 But then again, it was Elias who was bored.
 There's no need to do anything, even if it is called "standby" duty. The Adventurer, who operates the Magic Bag on a daily basis, carries all of his gear in it. A magic bag can hold a great deal of cargo, without regard to weight or volume, and is a must for adventurers. Elias, an ancient species, also has a magical bag of higher magical power. It's no wonder that Kanami and his friends have them, too.
 So the group that entered the dungeon didn't leave some of their luggage and equipment with Elias just because they were heavy. In the journey leading up to this place, they hadn't relied on horses or other riding animals since they left KR(Keier), so they didn't have the task of taking care of them either. If there is no luggage or use animals, there is no need to make an encampment.
 In other words, there was no need to set up or defend them.
 Elias jumped up on one of the rocks from which he could get a good view, sat down, and stretched out with the Great Bronze Door and the Wolf King's Mountain, the gateway to the men and women, in his sights. The air around me, with its thick hint of winter, was cold and stinging at the center of my body, but the fairy blood that flowed through Elias kept it at bay.
 The afternoon in the mountains passes slowly. It would be early if the sun eventually approached the ridge line, but for now, it's still a while past noon.
'I don't know...'
 Elias chuckled as the edges of his lips twisted into a wry smile. It's true that Elias has fairy blood and is cursed. That's why he's strong. He has a high resistance to cold air and can even withstand the freezing spell used by the "Misty Giants" (Yotun) to make such a mountain wind seem lukewarm.
 But I had never thought about what that was, or what a fairy was. I had been made to not think about it.
 The cold air of another dimension, which even the cold air of the frigid sea of Londenium could not protect against, was self-mockery, nihilism, and resignation. Whenever Elias recalls the Word of Death, a cold air of another dimension creeps into him. The cold air drains the momentum from Elias's mind, trying to bring him to a state of sluggish stasis. Everything Elias perceives becomes fuzzy and loses its touch. It's a prison of souls without touch.
'Oh, no. Careful! That's not going to happen.
 Elias shook his head in rejection.
 His golden hair added color to the desolate foothills of the Tianshan Mountains.
It was Kanami who gave us the flames," he said. The cold air of the Yatsura can't take that kind of punishment. We have to protect this world with the few remaining old species that have survived.
 With a firm grip on the hilt of my beloved sword, the faces of my "ancient" comrades in arms come to mind. They were all good-natured friends. I have not been able to contact them since they disappeared into the Void Transfer Unit, and I don't know what happened to them, but I hope they are well - or at least safe. Somewhere on our journey to the Far East Yamato, there must be a way to save our friends.

"Mr. Elias,
Miss Yoren!
 When Elias was lost in time, the voice that came to him suddenly was a soft female voice. The figure, clad in an outfit so thin that it would have been freezing if she were the earthling, is that of a hermaphrodite. The slender, smooth contours and crimson lips were visible through the veil that hid even the eyes like a nun's. A faintly sweet smell that seemed to be muddy in the wind arrived.
''You have come so far. Without the Circle of Fairies, the journey must have been extremely arduous. You have trudged through the backbone of the desolate Middle Earth, the Tianshan Mountains, and the Black Stone Desert. I cannot thank you enough, my dearest Lotus.
Ha-ha. No, it's not. It's a beautiful place.
 Elias replied.
 It is indeed a huge, vague space. The journey from the center of Yuled through the grasslands was a series of journeys that reminded them of the enormity of this world. Wastelands stretching to the horizon, rocky deserts stretching to the horizon, snow-covered grasslands stretching to the horizon. But there was beauty in its own way. In the midst of so much contrast that even the earth sank into shadow, we saw a glorious sunrise. It was a sight like burning iron that I had never seen on the northern seas.
'I am so relieved that Master Elias has come. 'And who is with you?'
Inside the gate. This gate separates those who enter according to their rank of combat. Hence the reason for the rejection of fairy blood.
 Elias continued through clenched leaves.
''My companions have taken on the task of scouting the Temple of the White Peach, but I wonder what will happen.
Your knights won't be safe without their hero, Master Elias.
 Elias wondered if that was a good idea at the sound of a concerned leaflet. Kanami, who can defeat any obstacle with that bottomless energy (and fist). And Coppelia, who silently followed her. My friend Leonardo is busy cleaning up after himself. And if there is even the skilled Shunsui, it's hard to believe that he would fall behind a half-hearted threat. Elias confidence, he hadn't been worried about that kind of thing, so he was struck by a false impression.
''Your companions who have lost Elias-sama must also be feeling a great deal of heartache.
I don't know.
 That's right," thought Elias to Haylen, who nodded gently, "then it's not something to deny any more. The desire to run to Kanami and the others at this moment is true, and it's not that he wouldn't be happy if they expected him to go that far.

''But then, I have an idea for this leafy lotus.
What can you do to break the seal?
 Elias jumped down from the large rock as if he had started and took the nymph's hand.
''No, this seal is the foundation of the Heavenly Wolf Cave. It can't be easily removed, but there is still only one way to get to the Temple of the White Peach, albeit a dangerous one.
You must tell me. If you have a way to save the old species from the mountaintops, I want to know about it. And for the sake of rebuilding the Order of the Red Branch. And to wipe the earth clean of this catastrophe.
 I don't doubt the Kanami, but this is an ancient species crisis.
 But this is a crisis for the ancient species.
 The demon has plunged all of his friends into a deadly sleep and is the enemy that has shaken this world.
 If possible, I want to defeat this demon. And then I want to shake off the demonic coldness that has taken hold of Elias's own heart. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
 If you are able to defeat the demon god - the "liturgical disaster" - then Elias will be able to grab it. I'm sure you'll find that in order to break the fairy's curse of not being able to destroy the enemy, Elias feels that the battle with the Codex is essential.

"Yes, Elias. You can do it. You're the brightest and most passionate star among the 13 knights, you'll be able to fight the evil one from the east.
Please.
 Elias nodded reverently to Lotus, who offered to guide him, and then followed his slender rear view and started walking. Before long, the mountainside of the Wolf King Mountain was filled with a white mist that seemed to creep up from the foot of the mountain. In the fog that reflected the setting sun like the edge of a wave, the hermit and Elias walked forward.
 It was the very figure of a hero with a fairy and a sword that invited them to adventure in Xiango.
 There was no one to stop them at the great bronze door where they were lost, and soon all that was left was a chilling blast of cold air in the light of the stars.
