　It seems that spring has come.

　Here in Vulcania, one loses a sense of the seasons.

　We are in a place called the sky, higher than the clouds.

　In addition, the city has ice-absorbing stone statues to soften the cold, so we do not see much change in the temperature.

　However, according to the calendar, it is already spring on the ground.

　Lying on the bed in my parents' house in Vulcania, I think about the future.

　With the help of memes, my body has become resistant to poisons.

　At the same time, I continue my sword training here.

　There will be no more preparations to go to the East.

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

　It's time.

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

　I will leave the Kingdom of the Sky.

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

　Because I have found out about my birth.

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

　At that time, Brother Ars told me to decide what to do with my life, and I decided to leave the kingdom and go to the East.

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

　Looking back on it now, I wonder why I should be kicked out.

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

　However, I also have the feeling that this is fine.

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

　Because Vulcania is too peaceful.

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

　I hear that my brothers Ars and Hector are happy with this peaceful world.

　There is still a certain amount of fighting going on in the United Kingdom of Fontana on the ground, but they are enjoying a safe and secure life, locked away as if they have nothing to do with it anymore.

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

　The temperature does not change and there are no storms.

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

　The presence of the Atmosphere, a giant spirit stone equivalent to a labyrinth core, allows for abundant crops in spite of the flying land.

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

　Using this, they are now able to graze enough animals to be eaten as meat.

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

　Perhaps that's why.

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

　People living in this country basically had a stable life.

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

　They don't have to work all day long to survive.

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

　However, it was also, in a bad way, a lack of alternatives.

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

　Just living.

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

　It seemed like an unexciting life.

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

　This country has everything, but it lacks stimulation.

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

　That's what I felt after being here for a while after returning from my study abroad in Brillia.

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

　Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I entered the labyrinth.

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

　The fight against the attackers who are clearly aiming for your life and the burning sensation of being in a fight.

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

　I even miss the excitement of not knowing when I'm going to die.

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

　I think I want to fight.

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

　I want to go out and fight.

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

　And I want to exert my strength to the fullest.

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

　This country is too boring for that.

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

　I think I can fulfill my desire by going to the East.

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

（I guess not.)

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

(What?　What did you say, Norn?)

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

（Yes, I did. You're going to die, Alphonse.)

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

（Why?　You don't know that.)

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

（I know. You're strong, Alphonse. It's just. But only for your age. You're a good swordsman for your age and you have some magic. But that's all. There are many stronger men in the world than you. Even if you go out to the battlefield as a mercenary now, you'll fall in the middle of the road.)

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

(Don't worry. (Don't worry. We have the Eye and we have Norn.)

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

（That doll sure looked useful. But it's not enough. Listen, Alphonse. I've got a good news flash for you. There's always someone better. And look at you. You've been doing a lot of poisoned or whatever it is you do these days. You'll die like that.)

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

　We'll be heading east in a few days.

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

　It's about that time when Norn starts talking like that.

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

　What the hell is this guy?

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

　How could he say something like that to put a damper on the sentimentality we had just been enjoying.

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

　But there are some things in what he said that I can understand.

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

　I know you do.

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

　I've seen what I can do in the labyrinth.

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

　I was able to defeat knight-class and baron-class magic-armored soldiers.

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

　But I didn't try to fight against anyone better than that.

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

　But there are some people in the world who can defeat stronger armorers.

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

　I don't know how many people of that strength there are in the small nations.

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

　But just like the nobles of Briaria, there are probably some families in the smaller nations who have spent a long time to build up their marriages and increase their magical power.

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

　Such people would be born with an extremely high amount of magical power.

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

　And that amount of magic power will have a great influence on the strength of the war.

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

　Norn knows this and that's why he has been advising us.

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

　If I go to the East with my current strength, I will eventually hit a big wall.

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

　I have to say that I am still not prepared enough for that from Norn's point of view.

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

（But then what am I supposed to do? I'm training with a sword every day and trying to increase my magical power.　Even that won't work so quickly.)

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

（What if I told you there is?)

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

(What?　What is it?)

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

（What if I told you there is a way to get stronger?)

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

(...... Is there such a way?　If there is, of course I want to know. What are you going to do, Norn?)

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

（Make a deal with me, Alphonse. You'll be stronger than you are now.)

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

　Contract?

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

　What a strange thing to say all of a sudden.

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

　But a way to become strong.

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

　If that's true, I want to know.

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

　I decided to ask Norn more about the contract he had made.
