Chapter 313.1: Preparation

No matter how busy I am, I never fail to maintain my Relics. After finishing my conversation with Lapis and the others, I returned to my private room. My private room, which was spacious enough thanks to my Clan Master's authority, was crammed with my collection of Relics. Everything is *pikapika* shining because it is polished on a rotating basis. Lucia comes to recharge them regularly, so there are no items that have run out of Magic.

Preparations are important before a trip. Sytry will prepare the supplies, but I have to select the Relics to bring with me.

I sit down on Mimi-kun, which I brought with its self-propelled function, and check around the Relics that I had collected over the years.

There are some that I have fond memories of and others that I randomly bought at Martis-san's store. Some I use a lot and some I don't use at all. It would be no ordinary task to pick up the ones that would be useful from among them for this time exploration. But that is why with this, we can say that your mastery of being a Relic collector is tested.

Although there was a bit of misunderstanding, the information that Lapis and the others gave me with an uncharacteristically excited look included several things I hadn't known before.

Apparently, Yggdra, our destination, is a very special country among the Spirit People.

It is not simply the largest country inhabited by Spirit PeopleThere are Spirit People's countries in forests all over the world, but the root of all of them is said to be Yggdra, the country of Spirit People where stand the only divine tree in the world, the World Tree. Maybe because their lifespan is so much longer than that of humans, they place importance on their roots. It is surprising to learn that Yggdra is even an object of faith for some Spirit People living outside of it.

It exists in the depths of the Great Sea of Trees, where countless veins of Mana Material flow and powerful legendary beasts and magical beasts roam around. It is a genuine unexplored region where the path is hidden and even Spirit People who are accustomed to walking in the forest may get lost. Eliza easily said that we could go to Yggdra, but from what Lapis and the others said, it would not be that easy.

That damn Eliza I almost charged in with no guard at all, you know. Well, even if there was nothing, I was going to take my Relics anyway and even if I have my Relics, it would only make things more lively.

I know Since it has been a while, maybe I should bring one from my super flashy sword-type Relic set (Cry)

The super flashy sword-type Relic set is a collection of pointlessly flashy sword-type Relic. Some of the swords have a flashy appearance while others have a flashy ability.

For example, the Celestial Star (Field Star) which, when activated, causes light to shine down on the user from above. The Mysterious Sword (Light Rain) which causes a slight rain (Up to 3 mm) to fall around the user once it is pulled out, and the Hero, Do Not Oppress the Weak, a great sword that looks splendid but cannot inflict even a scratch on an opponent no matter how hard you swing it, are disappointing swords that would probably be sold for two or three bits of money if they appeared on the market (By the way, the reason why their name are so splendid is because the discoverer gave it a fancy name in order to sell it at the highest price possible).

Those kinds of conspicuous swords are pitiful existences that are better off if you don't have them, and even I, a non-combatant, rarely have the opportunity to use one. It will probably not be useful this time either, but it is fun to watch and I have to take them out of the closet once in a while

Right Speaking of a forest, I am sure there will be all sorts of fauna and flora (Cry)

Spirit People are famous for living in harmony with nature. It is said that many Spirit People in the outside world have animals as their partners. I am sure they live a similar life in the forest.

My Relic collection doesn't have a specific genre, so naturally, there are Relics that can be used in these situations. There is a wide variety of them, for example, the Dog's Flag (Dog's Bond), a whistle that indiscriminately attracts canine creatures, the Cat's Catcher (Servant of the Wild Cat, a canned Relic that is unrivaled in attracting feline creatures, or a perfume-type Relic that indiscriminately releases a scent that makes all beasts, carnivorous and herbivorous, drool.

Although it may sound like a useful tool at first glance, it has no particular ability to subdue the animals it attracts, and the gathered animals attack as if they had been forcibly abducted by the user, making it an undemanding Relic. Liz and the others used it happily for a while tho'.

Thanks for reading! Here's the extra chapter thanks to John. More of Cry's Relic Collection! I'm sure everyone from Strange Grief used the dog and cat Relic to train.
