　It's real.

　This must be the very metal from which the Nine-Tailed Sword was made.

　Elvis brought back to me the actual thing that there was no doubt about.

"Well done, Elvis."

"Thank you, Master Ars. Actually, I wanted to bring back more, but there were too many.

"There were that many?　The same metal as this?"

Yes, it is. Fox Valley has a clay wall that has a speckled pattern on it. We found many of these same objects on the wall.

"Hmmm, maybe a fault line is exposed. Well, whatever it is, it's a good job. You did a good job. Tomorrow morning, let's go into Fox Valley with only those who can use the [Disable Poison] spell. Let's just collect as much as we can.

"Hey, Ars. You did it. Now you can make all the nine-tailed swords you want.

"Bite-brother, calm down. We'll only talk about this if we get it right tomorrow morning. And I heard that the formula for making the Nine-Tailed Sword was lost a long time ago. You may not be able to make the same one.

"Don't worry. Gran can do it. It's a dream come true. Valka cavalry riding Valkyries with nine-tailed swords. I'm sure they'll be strong!"

"Yes, it is. Well, we'll head to Fox Valley tomorrow. We'll eat and sleep quickly. We have an early start tomorrow morning.

　Thus, we had obtained the flame ore, a phantom metal that we had already been told was unobtainable.

　After a long night, we went to Fox Valley and retrieved the ore, loading as much as we could onto a cart.

"No way ......, you really went to the Fox Valley. ....... That is the lost phantom flame ore. Oh ......, I never thought I'd see it with my own eyes. I can't believe it."

"Thanks to Zitan's help in guiding us to the Fox Valley. Thanks to Zitan's guidance to the Fox Valley, we were able to retrieve the goods faster than we had expected. Thank you.

"No, it was nothing but Ars-sama's help that we were able to obtain the flame ore from the Fox Valley. ...... So, now that you have obtained the flame ore, may I ask what you plan to do next?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course, Zitan. The flame ore is not the only reason we came here. It is to gain territory from the knights who rebelled against House Xillia in Uruk. We will now attack the other knights. Naturally, the House of Arm will help us.

"I understand. We, the House of Arm, renounce the name of Uruk and declare our allegiance to the Lord Ars von Barka. You are at my service.

"That's not quite right, Zitan. I'm not the one you're swearing allegiance to.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......, that's not what I'm talking about, Mr. Ars. Our House of Arm has no intention of joining House Xillia, which has defeated the House of Uruk. Please allow me to pledge my allegiance to them.

"Listen to me, Zitan. I'm not asking you to swear allegiance to the Xillia family. No, but you will pledge allegiance to my brother Barthes, that is, to the House of Barthes.

"Byte ...... sir?"

"What, me?　Why me, Ars? Aren't you supposed to be naming it?"

"What are you talking about, brother Bite? You want the Baltic lands. Carve out a piece of land here and rule it. Well, it might be basically like managing an enclave of the Balkan knight territory.

"Are you sure?　Are you sure you don't want me to have my own territory, Ars?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay, but make sure you rule it right, okay?　If you fail to manage your territory, the Barka family will take it away from you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, I'm on it, Ars. What, you were thinking of that? You should have told me earlier.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Good luck, Bite-brother. And what about Zitan? Are you willing to pledge your loyalty to him?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Okay. We, the Arm family, pledge allegiance to Master Bite van Baltic."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well said. Now I have one more favor to ask of you, Zitan. Will you listen to me?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, Mr. Ars?"

"Barka's power is not enough to smoothly rule the Uruk territory my brother Bite has carved out for himself. Do you understand?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... marriage. The Lord of Bight must marry a man of the right blood to rule the land."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. You and Payne will see if you can find a suitable partner. You did it, brother Bite. You're gonna have a family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Seriously? I didn't think we'd suddenly be talking about marriage. ....... Hey, Zitan, blood is important, but make sure you get me a good woman."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, sir, Mr. Byte."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay, that's settled. So the part-timer gets to work. Let's start cutting up the territory.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"All right, Ars. Let's get to it.

"But first, let's send out letters to the surrounding knights. I will write again asking them if they want to be part of Barca instead of the house of Xillia. If they come to greet us accordingly, good, if not, we will attack them.

　I decided to leave the carved-out territory to my brother Byte, as I had originally intended.

　I then sent out a notice to the knights, bringing those who obeyed me into my ranks, and striking down those who opposed me.

　But it would be better for us to secure the mining rights in the Fox Valley.

　While my eager brother Byte was carving up the territory, I kept the house of the Arms family as my base and repeatedly went to Fox Valley to retrieve as much of the flaming ore as I could.
