Let's go on a trip!

　Two months have passed since I returned to Ifrus Magic Academy from Bestiary, and tomorrow we start May.

　In Ifrus Magic Academy, there is a ten-day break at the beginning of May. Many students and teachers will use this holiday to return to their parents' home.

　I wanted to go somewhere during that holiday, so at dinner on the last day of classes, I suggested a trip to everyone.

'A trip?　I don't mind.
"I follow my Lord wherever he goes.
The same.

　Tina, Yoko, Mai and May immediately agreed with me. Tina's birthplace was already gone, and Yoko had no family to return to because she didn't have any.

　Mai and Mei are called by the Star Spirit King to return to the spirit world from time to time, so there's no need for them to return during the holidays.

''We'll follow you, too!
I want to go with you.

　Two months ago, as a school event, our class stayed in Bestieth (Beastman's Kingdom) for about a month, so Merdi won't be returning to the country for this vacation.

　In the first place, if I don't use transference magic, it's impossible for Merdi to get to Bestieth in ten days and come back.

　If you ask me, I'll let you transition anytime you want, though.

　Luna went to show up at the orphanage for the holidays last year, but it looks like she's going to follow me this year.

"What about Rifa?
Of course I'll come along with you. But I have a little favor to ask of you, Mr. Hurt.

　It seems that the Elf King has sent me a letter saying 'show your face', so I'm going to go to Alheim (the Elf Kingdom) in the last two days of the holidays or so.

　With my preferred travel plan, I have a week to do what I want to do, so that's not a problem.


Chalk is nice too, right?
'Of course!　I'm so excited to travel!

　When we returned to the magic academy, the administrator of the dungeon of ruins in Bestieth - the administrator of the dungeon in Bestieth, Hakua, followed us.

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

　Hakua isn't accustomed to the human language, and when we first met her she spoke only one language, but she was originally a good learner, and thanks to Tina and the others who carefully taught her the language, she is now able to speak it fluently.

　Incidentally, does the dungeon's administrator, Chalkia, not need to be in the dungeon?

　─ I thought so, but since the Demon King hasn't been revived yet, and no heroes will be coming in the foreseeable future, I heard it's good.

　In the first place, I've hunted down most of the demons, so until the demons spontaneously occur in the dungeon, Hakua has nothing to do and no time to do it.

　And the places I want to go and the things I want to do during the holidays have something to do with Hakua. So it was a decision for Hakua to accompany me.


'The destination for the trip is the Holy City Sanctum.

The Holy City and why would you want to go there, if you said you'd follow me anywhere?

　Yoko looks a little uncomfortable. Because she is a demon race called the nine-tailed fox, she doesn't want to go to the Holy City, where a powerful sacred attribute warding that exorcises evil has been put in place - or rather, it's a place she shouldn't be able to go.

I'm not going to be able to get to the temple to worship the creator god in the holy city. I want to go there. And then I'll make sure that Yoko and Chakua can also enter the Holy City, so don't worry about it.

　If I was going to follow Yoko, I was going to set up an anti-holy circle around her and her friends.


　I had visited the Holy City once to conduct an experiment. I wanted to know how effective the Holy City's warding was on those connected to the evil gods.

　A long time ago, I caught a demon who attacked me and took him to the Holy City.

　When I let the captured demon touch the warding of the holy city, the hands of the demon who touched the warding were played. The ward was strong enough to reject the demon's entry.

　If it was a B-ranked demon or lower, it would disappear the moment it was touched.

　In addition, I tried various ways to see how I could nullify the results of that holy city──.

　I've mastered the anti-holy ward.

　The outer layer is coated with holy attribute magic power and the middle layer is unattributed magic power. If I fill the inner layer with dark attribute magic power, then the anti-holy ward is complete, which can allow even demons to enter the holy city.

　It's not repulsive to the ward, but rather, it's making it affinity with the same holy attribute magic power to make the ward falsely perceive that it's not foreign to the ward.

　I guess it's also a point to put non-attribute magic power in the middle layer so that the conflicting holy attribute magic power and the dark attribute magic power don't interfere with each other.

　I covered the demon with it (the anti-holy ward) and put it inside the holy city's ward, where I released the anti-holy ward.

　At that moment, the demon disappeared.

　The holy power inside the ward was more powerful than touching the ward from the outside.

　Two things were discovered in this experiment.

　The warding of the Holy City has the power to annihilate even demons. And that my anti-holy ward can nullify that holy city's ward.

　That's why I can take the demon yoko and the demon chalk to the Holy City.

　Well, even if I don't apply my anti-sacred ward, I'm sure that the nine-tailed fox in its full form, Yoko, and the upper dragon species, Hakua, can withstand the Sacred City's warding.

　However, if the two of them were to force their way into the Holy City, it would certainly be a problem. There was a possibility that they could destroy the Holy City's warding of the Holy City if they did not do well.

　If they did so, they might end up causing quite a bit of trouble for A(y)yi(y)ツ(y).

　Therefore, although it might be a tight fit for the two of you, I've decided to have you both wear my anti-sacred ward at all times while you are in the Holy City.

''You're going to let the demon race, Yoko-san, into that Sanctum...''

　Luna had been to the Holy City and knew the strength of its wards. That's why she was surprised when she found out that Yohko, the demon race, could enter it.

''Luna-san, it's too late now. Because it's Hurt-san.''

　Rifa seems to be getting used to what I do a lot, and she doesn't seem to be very surprised these days.

　It took me quite a bit of trial and error to learn the anti-holy wards, so I'd like to have a few more reactions.

　Hmm, I need to do something impactful.

''Speaking of the Holy City.......Are you going to meet with the A(⋅)Guru(⋅)?''

　Tina went to the Holy City with me once.
　That's where we met.

This time it's different. I'm sure she's busy with a lot of things too, so I don't need to see her.

Well then, what is your purpose in going to the Holy City?

　The reason I want to go to the Holy City is because...


"Say hello to the Creator and have a word with him.
