The five of us rode in a carriage with Mr. Fors and headed to the 'Adventurer's Guild, The Singing Ears of the Meadow'.

　The carriage stopped at the eastern corner of the royal capital.

　The streets were lined with buildings like those used by adventurers, such as weapon shops, armor shops, and tool shops.

　And in the center of it all was a large circular building.

(Is this the singing ear of the meadow?)

　The exterior of the building is stylish, with a series of wooden columns crisscrossed and curved.

　We get out of the carriage and enter the building.

'Wow...'

　I couldn't help but let my voice escape.

　The interior of the guild was elegantly bright, with sunlight streaming in through the large windows.

　The surface of the table in the reception area was wood-grained.

　The chairs are shaped like flowers.

　The floor had log benches, a stream and a pond, which gave a relaxing and soothing feeling of being in nature.

　And the adventurers there were mostly elves.

　...........

　Oh no, it's full of elves.

　As I stand there, Illtimina-san laughs as if troubled.

''Marle really likes elves, doesn't she?

　Yeah?

　Because when it comes to the symbol of the other world, it's Mr. Elf.

　If the existence of my former life's dream is this big, I can't stop looking at it, can I?

　Incidentally, the elves were also looking at the five of us who were walking with their guild leader with curious eyes.

''Come this way.''

　Mr. Fors calmly urged ahead.

　Ah, yes.

　We walked straight to the back of the building where it was off-limits to all concerned.


　◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇.


　I heard that the longest-established adventurer's guild in King's Landing is this 'Singing Ears of the Meadow'.

　In the beginning, it was a group of a few elves.

　Eventually, over time, the number of people increased, and before I knew it, it had become an adventurer's guild.

　Then, more than 100 years ago, one High Elf joined the guild.

　That High Elf woman became the 'Golden Seal', and the popularity and fame of what was a small guild increased dramatically.

''That's Cologne,''

　Mr. Fors told me as we walked through the building.

(Heh~?)

　We belong to the "Gekko no Kaze" guild, which is just starting up.

　However, I heard that thanks to Kirt-san's "Golden Seal", they made great strides, so I thought we were similar in that respect.

　

　Eventually we headed down to the basement.

　Cotson, Cotson.

　It's a long descent down a spiral staircase of stone illuminated by a magic light.

'This is her lab, which I once built at Colon's request.

　Fors said.

　Now she lives alone in the forest on the outskirts of the capital, but in the past, she used to conduct her research and experiments in the basement of the guild.

　Her shyness and the dangers of research and experimentation led her to move to her current forest.

　The guild's buildings have been remodeled and expanded over the years, but even so, they're still here for Ms. Colontude.

　Cotson.

　Eventually our feet stop in front of a single wooden door.

　Mr. Kilt opens his mouth.

'Is there anything here that Colon left behind before he left Shumria?
Yes, sir.

　Mr. False nodded.

　From his pocket, he took out a key with a magic stone on it and inserted it into the keyhole.

　''Keen.

　The magic stone glowed and a geometric pattern of light ran to the door.

　It slowly disappeared.

(Okay, so it had a magical lock on it too?)

　Mr. Fors watched the door open and then stepped aside to let us take our place.

　Mr. Kilt steps forward.

　Clack, gee.

　I opened the door and the five of us walked into the room.


　◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇.


This is....

　It was a dome-shaped room.

　There was no furniture whatsoever; instead, there was a huge magic circle carved into the stone floor with a diameter of thirty meters.

　At the four corners of the room were pedestals with magic stones on them.

　Other than that, there was nothing else.

　We were all a bit stunned.

(.........What is this magic circle?)

　Somehow I think I've seen it somewhere, but I can't remember where.

　I was going to ask Mr. Fors.

　But before you do.

'You're lying......... Mr. Colontude, you don't mean to tell me you've perfected that magic?

　The girl's trembling voice came.

　.........Solstice?

　Our gazes gathered.

　Ignoring it, she walked slowly, checking the magic circle under her feet.

　Eventually, she pressed her mouth to the ground.

''There's no doubt about it. This is........a real 'transfer magic circle'!

　That's what he shouted.

　Transmigration ... magic circle?　

(Ah!)

　Yes, I remember now.

　It's the magic circle that transported us to the summit of the mountain when we were climbing the Mountain of All Dragons in the Arun Divine Kingdom before.

　The magic circle here looks just like that one.

　Mr. Fors looked admiringly at the girl who noticed it.

That's right.

　He nodded.

'Having seen the real transition magic circle, Colon understood its coordinate control as well. And he left this magic circle behind just in case.

　.........that was it.

　Kilt-san and Illtimina-san are also surprised.

　Solstice huffed.

''But wait. We need a counterpart magic circle to activate this, right?
Yes, sir.

　Fors nodded again.

''Colon said that if we arrived in the Land of the Elves, he would create a 'transfer magic circle' in the nick of time. Perhaps the counterpart magic circle will be completed.

　And I know what that means.

"So...

　Blue eyes shining.

''If we activate this 'Transitional Magic Circle,' we'll be able to go to the 'Elfland' in an instant, right?
Yes, it should.

　At my confirmation, Mr. Fors smiled.

(Yes!)

　I looked back at Kilt-san.

　Kirt-san smiled emphatically and nodded.

'I see. You know, cologne, now I have to go and help you.

　Even the swearing seems somewhat pleasing.

　Solstice holds the blonde little girl's hand.

　Cuk.

You did it, Po!　
.......................

　Poe's face was expressionless, but he seemed a little relieved.

　Illtimina-san was also smiling.

　Fors-san looked back at us.

''Although Colon is an excellent demonologist, he has many inexperienced points as a person. She doesn't know the responsibilities of the 'Golden Seal' and often fails to fulfill her duties. This guild is supported by her accomplishments, but often suffers from her freedom.

　....What?

　We were puzzled by his sudden words.

　Mr. Fors's blue eyes gazed at us with sincerity.

''Still, Colón Tude Resta is our light. She is our precious friend and family. Please. Please, ladies and gentlemen, help her.

　And they bow deeply.

(Mr. Fors....)

　The five of us looked at each other.

　I nodded immediately.

　My blue eyes looked back at the gentle elf guild leader.

Yes, I'm sure.

　I answered so clearly.
