We arrived at the house where Camilla said she lived.
　On the way there, Camilla checked with the villagers to see if they had seen Lynn, but we hadn't been able to get any such sightings.
　At the same time, I was also talking to her about why I was here.

''Was ... consumed by the black vortex?''

　I nodded my head.
　........Well, in my case, it's correct to say that I was drunk, not that I was drunk, but that I ran into it myself.

'Yes. Have you ever heard of such a phenomenon?

　It's a very common occurrence on this continent.
　If that's the case, I can still feel comfortable with it.
　The scariest part is that it's an unknown phenomenon that no one knows about.

　

'Well I don't. But is this Linn girl a brave one?
Yes, sir.

　I told you earlier that Lynn is a brave man.
　Camilla puts a hand to her chin as she thinks.

''I don't know ... but ... There's a saying on our continent that goes something like this.

　Camilla closed her words once there, and then handed us one of the stone tablets in the room.
　There were words carved on it.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. A hero will emerge to save this country.

　........There was something like a bloodstain on the stone slab.
　Thinking of the situation of the person who left this behind at that time, he returned the stone slab to Camilla.

''........50 years. Now, is that about it?
'Yeah, just ... this year.

　Camilla-san.........
　Her expression was oozing with spirit.

''And this year........a brave man named Lin appeared, right?
There's not just one brave man there are many others.
'Maybe that's what the person who left the tablet was trying to say. Besides, more than anything else, we have Lelius.
...Me?

　Kokoro, Camilla nodded.

''There are some people who don't have the means to resist those blue stone demons. ........But with the weapons Relius made, everyone will be able to fight. This alone is incomparably different from what we had before.
You don't have all the proof yet, do you?
No!　My gut tells me so!

　.........Camilla-san said that with a twinkle in her eye.

''.........Well, let's verify that soon, shall we? More importantly, that Souishi demon........what kind of demon is that after all?　I heard that he died once and came back to life, but...

　So you're a zombie-type demon?　I asked, and Camilla replied that it was not.

'It's a spawned demon,'
...invented?
''Yes, that's right. That demon was created by a demon called the 'Blue Stone Chieftain' with a blue magic stone on his forehead.
The leader of the Blue Stone....

　A demon with a magic stone in its forehead, huh?

''The Aoshi Chieftain appeared, and since none of the people present at the time could defeat him, this continent was sealed off.
'So it was...'

　........If they had remained unable to find a means of resistance, this entire world could have been in trouble if they were not able to find a way to resist.
　The people above would have taken that choice at the expense of the few people left in this country.

　........When I thought about it, I thought it was a terrible choice at first, but then I started to think that it must have been the result of a lot of trouble.

''........Lelius. I need to ask you to do a few things for me.
...What is it?
"...Today I was going to hunt the demon and get some food. Only, I couldn't find the demon and I was going to starve to death and it's not just me.
I see. Food, right?　Then I'll make sure there's enough food for everyone.
Oh, really?
Yeah. Even if I'm the only one showing off, it doesn't taste so good.
Oh, thank you, Lelius!

　Camilla's eyes sparkled and she stood up.
　Then we gather the children in Camilla's yard and I show them all the different dishes.

'Ooooh, yum!　I haven't had a vegetable in ages!
These burgers are crazy good, too!
Thank you, Mr. Relius!

　It makes me smile when I see that everyone is eating happily.
　

''Does anyone have a fire attribute magic skill?　If you're here, we can make the ingredients and so on, and cook and so on, but...
Oh, I can use that!

　A girl raised her hand cheerfully.
　I made a frying pan for her, full of enthusiasm.

You really can make a frying pan like a magic trick right away!
'It's so convenient ... such an awesome profession!
'I love it!　I wish I had a job like that!

　I'm going to put some pork on a frying pan, C-rated pork.

You can cook it over an open fire or something. That's what the seasoning is for.

　I prepare salt and pepper and sprinkle them on top of the meat.
　 It's probably because my level is still low.

　When I was making various things, I was up to the 7th level now.

''See, it's starting to look good, right?
'Wow!　It smells so good...　Yo, I'm drooling!

　The girl's eyes sparkled. .........Next to her, Camilla was drooling as she joined the boy.
　.........Sure, it smells good.

'Here, how about something like this?'

　What was cooked was a simple steak.
　........But to the kids here, it seems that a dish seasoned with seasoning is rare.

'.........Ugh, looks great!
Oh, I want one, too!
That's not fair!

　I call out to them as they all start to eat, fighting for it.

'Look, guys. There's more to come, so don't be so impatient.

　You guys really seem to be enjoying your food.
　I'm having fun watching that, too.
