Part 1

In the plaza, the creation of the Magic Circle was progressing at a rapid pace.

At the top of the courtyard gate――A table was brought to a position where Marin’s Wails, who was skewered in the air, could be monitored and a meeting was held.

While on high alert, Priest-san sighed deeply and looked around.

“*Yareyare* Good grief, we were saved in the nick of a time, huh. I never expected that such an irregularity would occur. Who knows what would have happened if I did not prepare the Relic on Franz-kyo’s advice......” (Priest)

“No one can predict something like that. It can’t be helped. Isn’t that right, 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》!” (Franz)

“Eh? Ah...... Un, un, that’s right.” (Cry)

When I was in a daze, Franz-san suddenly talked to me, so I hurriedly nodded my head. Ark, Kruz, Lucia, Gark-san, and the others sighed openly.

I had no idea that a knight could come out of a cross pendant... I have seen many things in my life, but the world sure is a big place.

Well, not like I was going to say it...... Moreover, it looks like no one saw it.

“But............ Don’t people in this country hide too many dangerous things?” (Cry)

“........................” (Franz)

Franz-san silently gives me a killer look.

Even if you look at me like that............ Is it okay if I kneel on the ground and do a dogeza for the time being?

That is when our Ark opens his mouth.

“However, this was the first time we had fought a curse like that――And it was far beyond our imagination. Neither lightning nor Lucia Roge’s advanced offensive magic seemed to have any effect other than stall them......” (Ark) Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

“It was still working against the knight, but it was slipping through against Marin’s Wails. It did not seem to be ineffective, but from the looks of it, it wasn’t a spirit-type monster either.” (Gark)

Gark-san, a former Hunter and a bright man in subjugating Monsters and Phantoms says with a distorted expression on his face.

“However, “Shaman (Jujutsushi)” from the forest hates humans. Zebrudia’s cooperation will be essential to bring them here. And......Hmph. The church also has their reputation to keep.” (Lapis)

“............ I see. Well, I doubt even the main temple has a way to deal with an opponent who can’t be suppressed with a Multi-Layer Barrier Magic Circle. Realistically speaking, the only person who can purify that thing in the current Imperial Capital Church is Anthem............ But with how things are, they will probably be able to escape.” (Priest)

“Uuuumu......” (Anthem)

Anthem let out a troubled groan. To think the curse that spreads resentment and murderous intent chose to run away (Even if it was released from the barrier blocking them), it seems that being too powerful creates another problem.

“I have been instructed to give the highest priority to dealing with the Divination Institute prophecy. I will take responsibility and prepare everything we need to welcome them. If it can stop the Divination Institute prophecy, then it is a small price to pay.” (Franz)

As one would expect from such a diverse group of members, they can handle anything. Somehow I feel out of place here.

Lapis nodded exaggeratedly at what Franz-san said and said in a dignified voice.

“Metallic objects are forbidden in the Spirit People forest. Prepare a carriage made of wood, grass, or stone to pick them up. The horse should be a unicorn or a griffon, and since they do not like to be around many people, please put a curfew on the main street when you welcome them. Treat them as you would treat royalty from other countries.” (Lapis)

I don’t think they would go that far even if they were dealing with royalty from another country...... The fact that they don’t seem to have any bad intentions makes it even worse.

Perhaps thinking that it is indeed difficult to impose a curfew in the Imperial Capital, Franz-san asks in a stifled voice.

“........................ Is there... Is there no other way? What about someone else――For example, what about Sage from the Magic Academy?” (Franz)

“...... Hmph. Nonsense...... That woman is a halfwit. Besides, humans may not understand this, but a Magi and a Shaman are two very different things.” (Lapis)

Franz-san is also having a hard time...... But this time I really didn’t do anything.

But Lucia, Ark, Anthem, Lapis, and the others are all members of 《First Step (Hajimari no Ashiato)》 so in a sense, I am contributing a lot, aren’t I?

............ Un, un that’s right. That’s why my Level keeps going up!
