I took Meldy with me and transferred to Bestieth, the land of beastmen.

　The magic circle of the transition is set up as close to the royal capital as possible, yet in a place that is not easily seen by the public.

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea when you're moving to different parts of the country you're moving to.

　I'm not going to be the only one who can do this.
　I read that information, confirmed that no one was in the destination, and moved on.

　And yet...


"Who the hell are you?

　There are voices behind us.

　Oh no, who was that?

　We turned around and saw a brown-skinned man with two large horns on the side of his head, looking at us.


'....Who is it?

I asked you a question!　And you've just metastasized?

　Wow, I guess they saw me metastasize.

　What are we going to do?
　They don't seem to be human, but........

　The one built into the shifting magic circle is one that detects the unique magic wavelengths that people(¦) have.

　That's why it can't detect animals or demons.

　As a result of shifting to a place where no one was present, this person was seen by a different person.

　It's not like I was attacked or anything, and as expected, I shouldn't be able to keep my mouth shut, right?

　If I asked you to shut up, would you listen to me?

　It looks like a bad guy, and it would be more convenient if he attacked me.


"Hey, are you going to ignore me?

　I was just thinking about it for a minute and the guy seemed pretty upset.

"No, I didn't mean...
Hm, well. I guess I'm only human, even if I can use the transference. They've seen me in here I'll take that life.

　With that, the man suddenly attacked me.


'Ice Lance!'

"──?!

　He attacked me, so I blocked his movements for now.

　I had prepared my magic, so I was quick to activate it.

　About ten centimeters in front of my eyes, the man's sharp claws stopped.

　The man's limbs were completely immobilized by the countless ice spears that appeared in space.

''What the hell is this!　d*mn it!　This stuff!

　The man tries to break the ice, but he doesn't budge.

'Why!　Why can't I, as a mage, break the ice like this?

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.

　I'm sure you'll find a lot of people who are interested in this kind of thing.

I'm not sure what to do with this one.

　Meldy, who has been hiding behind me, asks me.

　The self-proclaimed demon man is still on the rampage, but my ice spear restraints aren't going to break free.

　I want to ask him why he attacked me or something, but right now I have to hurry to Merdi's father's place, right?

　That's why...

"Icelance!

　The self-proclaimed demon was trapped in a huge icicle.

　A mage wouldn't die from this kind of thing.

　When Merdi's business is done and I have time, I'll get him out of the ice and ask him what's going on.

''Shall we leave this guy here and go to Merdi's father's place?

Okay, okay.

　I went with Merdi to King's Landing.


　The...

I've got to tell you something, Hurt.

Hmm?　What?

　As we approached the gate to enter Bestieth's royal capital, Meldi spoke to me.

I'm actually a bit of a runaway and ran away from home. So I don't know if I'll be able to get into the capital, even though you brought me here.

'Oh, really?'

　I was invited by my family to come here, but it would be meaningless if I couldn't get into the royal capital where they are.

　But I decided to go there anyway.
　I'm not sure if I can get in normally.

　In the first place, it is because I thought that running away from home is not enough to prevent me from entering the city.


　─ ─ ─ ─ ********──.

'The next one, what is your purpose in coming to this royal city? Merchants, not so much.

　The deer beastman soldiers at the checkpoint look at our clothes and belongings and decide we're not merchants.

　For some reason, Meldi was wearing the hood of his robe, hiding his face.

'Sightseeing, sir.'

　I replied.

　Merdi's father had fallen ill and Merdi had asked me not to tell him too much about his visit.

　The red letterbird (a royal bird) came to Meldy's place, so there must be some reason for it.

　I think there are some things I can't talk about, so I decided to do what Meldy wanted without prying.


'I'm sorry, but we can't accept tourists right now. There's a bit of a problem in the royal capital.

　Merchants for trade are allowed to enter the royal capital with restrictions on how long they can stay, but ordinary tourists are not allowed in for the time being, the deer beastman explained to me.

　He also said that even those from Bestiae are strictly restricted from entering and exiting the royal capital, even if they are from Bestiae.


''I'd like to ask you to do something about that. I really need to get inside.

Are you a f*cking beastman?

　I can't see his face, but the deer beastman, who has checked Merdi's hands and tail, asks me.

'Yeah,'

Then you know the law of the land. If you're in a situation where you're restricted in some way and you must do your will, show me your power. He who has the power, obeys it - that's the law of the land.

　With that, the deer beastman called out to the soldiers at the checkpoint.

'These two really want to get in there. Let them go through the trials.

Yes. Now, please follow me.

　A dog beastman came over and said he was going to lead us somewhere.

　Meldy tried to follow him obediently, so I followed him.


　─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

Strike that target with everything you've got.

　What came about the canine beastmen was a training camp-like facility outside the defensive walls of the royal capital.

　In the middle of it, there was a badly battered cylindrical target, about one meter in diameter and two meters high, set up in the middle of it.

''Do we have to destroy that one?''

Yes. But please don't use any magic. You'll know in a minute if you've used magic.

　When I looked at where the dog beastman was pointing, I saw that large crystal balls had been placed in several places surrounding the place where we were.

　Apparently we have to break the targets without magic.

　I'm a wise man.....

　And because of the status fixing curse, my physical attack power is 10.


　Hmmm, is it okay to move your body directly with magical power instead of magic?

　To try it out, I'm going to try to strengthen my body with magical power like I did when I hit the demon Amon in Alheim.


　The crystal ball that surrounded us didn't react.

　The crystal ball that surrounds us didn't respond.

　Just to be sure, let's use some magic as well.

"Firelance.

　The crystal ball glowed red as he produced a spear of fire in his hand.

''Hey, what are you doing!　I told you that magic is no good!''

　The dog beastman impatiently came to stop me.

''Oh, I'm sorry. I just wanted to know what would happen if I used magic.

　I see.

　It seems that the crystal ball doesn't react when you move your magic, but when you activate it as magic, it reacts.


"I'll reset the crystal ball for now, but the next time you use magic in the same way, I'll disqualify you immediately.

Thank you. I understand.

　I strengthened my body with my magic and walked up to my target.
