"How's it going, Kyle?　Were you able to work the magic to retrieve the information you had Kaiser Valkyrie memorize?"

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

"Don't be absurd, brother Ars. It can't be that quick. Not yet, not at all.

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

"I see. Well, that's an important job that only Kyle can do. But you know there's something else waiting for you, don't you?"

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

"What's going on?"

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

"Hey, hey, hey. Don't forget about me, Kyle. It's fall now, and Charlotte's supposed to be getting married soon. You can't just say you forgot.

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

"Oh, I'm sorry, Brother Ars. I was so occupied with the search for information that I forgot to mention it. But I'm sure you'll be fine, I've been working on the preparations in advance.

"Good. I'll go to the castle of Valliant in the east first. Kyle, as soon as you're ready, use the transfer magic circle. Okay?"

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

"Yeah, okay."

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

　Is he going to be okay?

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

　Apparently, Kyle's been quite energetic in his search for a way to retrieve information.

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

　But I guess it is not so easy to do.

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

　Every day he stares at Kaiser Valkyrie and groans.

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

　After talking to Kyle, I decided to go to the East first.

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

　Charlotte is finally going to be married to Kyle, after we had talked about it in the spring of this year.

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

　Well, maybe finally is not the right word.

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

　It is quite a speedy marriage to marry Charlotte, the third princess of Brillia, one of the powerful countries in the East, in the fall after the marriage was decided in the spring.

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

　After all, Charlotte, who returned to her home country immediately after the conclusion of the marriage, persuaded people around her to give her permission for the marriage.

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

　If she is that happy to marry Kyle, I, as the intermediary who arranged the marriage, am happy for her.

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

　This marriage cannot fail.

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

　As the bridegroom to marry the princess, I must not embarrass Kyle.

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

　I was determined to get ready for the wedding.

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

　I'm going to get ready for it.

"Hey, Elvis. How you doing?　Have you gotten used to this castle in the sky yet?"

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

"We have been expecting you, Mr. Ars. Yes, I'm quite used to it now. But the problem is that there is only so much to do in this castle, and I have more free time than I imagined.

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

"That's true, too. But after all that, we did arrange for you to get down there after all, didn't we?　What about the work I asked you to do?"

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

"Of course it's done. Would you like to read the report?

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

　I came to the east from Vulcania using a transfer magic circle.

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

　There I found the castle of Valiant, which I had built.

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

　Elvis, who had been the lord of the castle, greeted me.

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

　Elvis told me that although this castle was new, he soon got bored with it.

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

　Well, that may be so.

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

　Unlike Vulcania, which floated a land including even a huge city in the sky, Valiant had only enough space for a castle and a landing place for a magic airship.

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

　With only a castle floating in the sky, the people can survive on food and other necessities sent to them via a magical transporter.

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

　However, living in a castle on a floating stone without any self-sufficiency was indeed a hard life.

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

　I couldn't let go of Elvis who whined and came to me for a petition on the way.

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

　It would have been impossible for Elvis to live in a castle under house arrest, since he had such a good communication skill that he actively talked to Sura and other residents even in an eastern settlement where the culture was completely different from his own.

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

　I decided to prepare a way to get down from the castle to the village where Sura was staying.

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

　And while I was at it, I asked him to do a job for me.

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

　Elvis handed me the report and I read it over.

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

"I wondered what had happened to me since my magical power had not increased as much as I had expected. ....... It seems that they are going in the direction of monopolizing it.

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

"Yes. Yes, it seems so. From my research, it seems that those who have [naming] were also naming those around them at first. But gradually, their activities slowed down. Now they seem to be using [naming] only in their own settlements."

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

"...... I guess [land clearing] has had a big impact."

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

"I think so. The benefit of naming and being able to use magic is great, but you need land to make use of that magic."

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

"I see. Right now, there is still a surplus of land to [clear]. But that will be saturated someday. If things are going to move, it will be then.

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

　They talk over the contents of the report, asking Elvis about it.

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

　The report was about the subsequent behavior of the people I named this year.

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

　I gave my son Alford a living inheritance this year.

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

　And after that, I came to the East and named some of Charlotte's people and some of the people living in the settlements near Valiant.

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

　Because of the birthright, those who were named this year cannot use Fontana's magic, such as the Ice Spear.

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

　In addition, I asked Aisha to disable the use of [Shotgun] and [Create Salt Field].

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

　But instead, they can use the newly learned [Naming], which they couldn't use before.

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

　By simply chanting the word [Naming], a magic circle of naming appears, and they can give the magic to others.

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

　If they could use the magic of [naming], they could name those who could not use magic, and those who were named could name others, and so on.

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

　If this happens, the amount of magic power will increase at an accelerated rate through the magic path to me, who is at the root of this connection.

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

　Such was my expectation.

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

　But in reality, it did not happen.

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

　My magic power has definitely gone up.

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

　However, it is not as if I suddenly sucked up magic power from all the people in the world, but rather, I think it has slightly increased.　It's about the same.

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

　Incidentally, he is currently able to use [Purification], which is the next level after [Recovery], but is unable to use [Sanctuary].

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

　Why hasn't the amount of magic power increased rapidly?

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

　Probably, [Naming] is not being done very actively.

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

　There were several reasons.

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

　The most important of them is the limited types of magic and the limited land.

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

　With the loss of offensive magic, the most influential magic I have is probably the magic to improve the land.

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

　Strengthening] and [Meditation] are also useful, but the benefits of [Land preparation] and [Soil improvement] are more significant than those.

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

　The variant was located in the rugged natural environment at the foot of the sacred mountain where the exiled people ended up.

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

　It takes a lot of work to cultivate fields and rice paddies.

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

　It is no mean feat to cut trees, level the land, and make it ready to grow crops.

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

　But with such things as [land preparation], it can be done easily with just a single incantation.

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

　Those who have obtained magic are surely cultivating the land and planting crops, wondering what all the hard work has been done so far.

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

　Such people go all the way to other lands and say to those who cannot yet use magic, "Shall I name you so that you can use magic, too? Would you say something like that?

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

　They won't.

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

　In fact, that is exactly what Elvis found.

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

　Although they had the magic of [naming], they did not spread it, but prioritized increasing farmland.

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

　Perhaps that will continue for a while.

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

　They are trying very hard to increase the amount of farmland and increase the amount of food harvested.

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

　But it will not continue in the same way forever.

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

　Because the area of land is limited.

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

　And it will be even more limited if the land is suitable for farming.

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

　Especially, if you want to grow rice in this area, you will need water.

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

　I felt that the number of users of [naming] will probably not increase in the next few years or so.

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

　After expanding their farmland, they will probably go to other people's lands to expand their business.

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

　Or, they will be attacked by other forces targeting the villages that have increased their harvest.

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

　It is not likely that the village will continue to lead a peaceful life as it does now.

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

　If they are attacked, it is unknown whether they will be able to resist without attack magic.

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

　It was not yet clear how the effects of creating the magic of [naming] would spread around the variant.

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

　And I suspect that the naming of Charlotte's men has not spread that far.

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

　Because, after all, my magical power has not increased explosively.

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

　I am sure that the Bryllian mages must have noticed the existence of [naming] and have taken some sort of action.

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

　Do you think they will say something about [naming]?

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

　I was pondering in the castle in the sky before Charlotte's wedding, but I was ready to accept her.
