The bright sunlight passed through the bedroom’s window in the tower, slowly dispersing the drowsiness filling it. The girl’s disheveled silver hair glistened under the light as she slowly rose.
(She’s already awake, even though it’s so early.)
Mira looked to her side, only seeing an empty pillow. On the other side, Luna was still sleeping on her pillow, curled into a ball and breathing slowly. She smiled a bit watching Luna, and then opened the menu of her bracelet to check the current time.
(Oh, I just woke up late…)
It was already past 9:30am. Mira closed the menu and stretched out, then got out of bed and headed to the living room. On her way there, she spotted a certain outfit left on a small table. Clothes with a very familiar design on them.
(It’s so well made.)
She picked it up and held it in front of her, it was her Magic Robe Set. Mira decided she might as well put it on, sliding her arms through the sleeves, but a knock on the door stopped her, soon after which Mariana in a maid outfit peeked her head through the door.
「Good morning, Lady Mira.」
「Good morning.」
「Let me help you.」
She understood exactly what Mira was about to do, so she came at the perfect moment to help. Without waiting for Mira to accept or reject her help, she approached Mira and quickly began helping her get dressed.
Mariana was also very willing to make Mira’s hair, taking two almost transparent blue ribbons and tying her hair to each side. Watching her already cute appearance be enhanced with those twin tails, Mira looked quite satisfied with herself when she stood in front of a mirror.
Mariana was also quite happy with the result, mostly because she was able to touch Mira’s hair a lot. They spent some time in front of the mirror, and turned around and smiled looking at each other.
Luna woke up just when the girls were about to have breakfast, which was the best way a pet could wake up. After everyone ate, Mira explained her next plans to Mariana.
She would first report her findings to Solomon, and depending on how the decoding of Soul Howl’s traces went, she could have her next destination set already. If it was a very distant place, it would be a considerable amount of time before she came back again.
Mira felt bad about that, but Mariana told her to not worry and just smiled, though there was slight loneliness hidden in it. Still, Mariana would not grieve any more, knowing her master would definitely return again was enough to keep her motivated.
Seeing that Mariana did not mind it too much, Mira felt more relieved and looked at the mark on the back of her hand, being made aware of how strong that bond was.
「It’s time for me to go now.」
Mira said standing up, having finished a cup of black tea after breakfast and petted Luna’s fur for plenty of time. Before she left, Mariana went to get a basket from the kitchen and handed it to Mira.
「I’ve prepared lunch for you as well, make sure to enjoy it later.」
「Mm, thanks.」
Mira thanked her as she took the basket, mindlessly patting Mariana’s head. That act happened completely naturally and without hesitation, which surprised even Mira. But it also meant that a wall that stood between the two had crumbled, and as Mira saw Mariana smile happily under her hand, she knew that was the best decision they could have taken.
「I’ll leave the rest in your hands.」

Mira hugged Luna tightly and then gave her to Mariana, who received her carefully and bowed to Mira.
「Take care.」
While it was a short exchange, and both of them were girls, the endearing tone of Mariana’s voice made it sound like a wife that was used to seeing her husband off like that.
But Mira was still oblivious to that, as well as the slight pout on Mariana’s cheeks who was still expecting to be hugged. Noticing that would be Mira’s future homework.
Mira walked out of the tower and got ready to take off when she saw the tower standing next to hers, which made her remember something. That was the Tower of Necromancy, and Mira had promised Amaratte something. After talking with Lily, the maid, she said that Amaratte could come to the castle any time to get her measurements taken.
(I almost forgot about that.)
Mira decided to take care of that before she left for the city and entered the Tower of Necromancy.
When everyone noticed that a young silver-haired girl entered the Tower of Necromancy, their gazes all focused on her and stayed silent. As opposed to the Tower of Summoning, there were quite a few people working day and night in research there. Being made painfully aware of that fact, Mira’s shoulders drooped as she headed to the top floor. Everyone watched her go, starting to murmur amongst themselves 「She’s that girl」, not even wondering why she had come there, instead talking about rumors they heard about her power, as well as her appearance.
When Mira reached the top floor, she used Life Sensing to figure out that there were people in both the aide’s room and the office. Since Amaratte was the vice-elder, it made more sense for her to be in the office. With that conclusion in mind, Mira opened the door of the office. Soon after she felt someone approach her, it was Amaratte without her usual red hood.
「Oh, it’s Mira. I guess you came because of that favor I asked, seeing you came all the way here.」
Amaratte smiled softly seeing Mira, quickly realizing why she was there. Mira nodded, while at the same time wondering how it was possible that Amaratte’s appearance could change so much by simply removing the red hood.
「Lily looked quite excited to work with you as well. They would like to measure you, so they wanted to know at which time you’d be free.」
「I see. Thank you, Mira. Maybe I’ll go today even.」
Saying that, Amaratte smiled broadly, something that seemed impossible from the first impression Mira had of her. Next, she went to a shelf next to the door and took a small package from it, 「here’s your reward」 she handed it to Mira.
「It was nothing big, there’s no need to thank me.」
「Well, it’s not just to return the favor. Take it as my appreciation, and something I thought would fit you perfectly.」
「Fit me? What even is in there?」
「Hehehe, check it later. I’m sure you’ll like it.」
Mira looked at the package for a bit before storing it in her Item Box. 「That’s all I had to say, see you later,」 she said while walking into the elevator and going down to the ground floor.
「She has white almost translucent skin and silver hair. Black is the perfect match for that. You think so as well, right Charlotte?」
Amaratte asked someone else, and a tall woman walked out of the aide’s room. She wore a thin black outfit, reminiscent of a mourning dress, and had almost too perfect facial features. Her right eye was covered with an eyepatch, while her right one was black and hollow-like, appearing brittle in a weird way. The woman called Charlotte was the Tower of Necromancy’s aide, from a vampire tribe known as Daylight Walker.
「I can’t really agree with you on that. I still believe white would be a better choice.」
(This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)
(If you are reading this from other sites, that means this content is stolen. Please support us by visiting our site.)
Charlotte’s gaze followed Mira as she went down the tower, clearly ascertaining her opinion. Her pupil wavered like some sort of spirit, still following the silver-haired girl even though she was occluded by a wall.
「Oh, our opinions differ once again.」
「Not even you can change my mind on that.」
They smiled eerily at each other, contradicting auras welling up around them.

Mira left the tower without noticing that and she went to the Magic Tower on her own feet.
This time, she visited Luminaria.
She got a piece of the world tree and she wanted to ask if it could be used instead of charcoal.
『Oh, Luminaria. Are you here? Answer me!』(Mira)
Mira knocked on the door of Luminaria’s private room while shouting so.
As the door was unlocked, a red shadow burst out of the door and grabbed Mia.
『I remember this kind of exchange, how nostalgic!』(Lumirania)
Luminaria said so happily.
『Yeah yea, I thought so. You went overboard again』(Mira)
『I see, thank…you think I will say that』(Lumirania)
(Luminaria says “thank you” and changes it halfway)
Luminaria proudly put Mira’s face against her chest.
However, it’s a shame because she doesn’t have power.
(Luminaria is Pure Magic build, Mira still have STR and DEX in her build for close combat)
『So, what do you come here for?』(Luminaria)
Luminaria let go of Mira as she was pushing away.
Then Mira operated her bracelet.
『Thou asked me to gather the Charcoal of the world tree. However, I only got this.』(Mira)
Mira took out the piece of the world tree and handed it over to Luminaria.
(This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)
(Say no to content thief!)
What Luminaria received was a piece of wood, not the requested Charcoal of the world tree.
However, Mira would never deliver something totally irrelevant.
After Luminaria considered several possibilities, she talks to Mira
『Hey, is this a piece of the world tree?』(Luminaria)
『Fumu, correct.
I don’t remember but it should be possible to make it charcoal with this, right?
If you can, then I already finish your request』(Mira)
『I don’t know since I’ve never tried it, but it’s okay if I ask the craftsmen’s union about that.
That’s a haunt of strangers who don’t care about how rare the items are.
I guess they will be experimenting a lot』(Luminaria)
A piece of the world tree has many uses and is highly effective, but it’s a very valuable item.
On the other hand, the Charcoal of the world tree is mainly used only for the material of special items such as Purification Secrets, so the Charcoal wasn’t really in demand compared to the wood piece.
Besides, the rare drop rate of Charcoal is also higher than the wood piece. Even if you want the Charcoal, it’s not necessary to make the wood piece into charcoal.
『A craftsman’s union? Is there such a guild』(Mira)
『Oh, there are Agricultural, Forestry, and Marine Unions too』(Luminaria)
『It’s getting so close to the original world. Which means we might have the International Union, too』(Mira)
Mira laughed as she said that. Then Luminaria smiled and replied.
『There is a similar union』(Luminaria)
Mira asked more about it and Luminaria explained the rough contents.
It called《Hinomoto Committee》
It was made by a former player in secret.
Because they are former players, that Committee has modern peace thought.
They have the moral of real life, not from the war game even though they have been reborn in this world where war constantly happens.
The Lord has made a series of rounds and exchanged the former players’ agreement in the back of the world.
As a former player and the largest nation, Atlantis Kingdom takes the lead to invites and discusses with the state’s Lord. The first meeting, they have an agreement on banning of war.
Even though that agreement greatly reduced the chance of war, but it never went away.
Because there are nations ruled by someone other than the former players. In other words, the country of the people who lived in this world from the beginning.
The 《Hinomoto Committee》 was called a new country.
The country ruled by the Lord of the land was called Origin Country.
There is a big gap of power between The Lords of the former players.
Most of the Japanese players are trying to avoid war.
But those who live in this world are trying to wage war.
Therefore, if there’s an opportunity, the former player’s country will be invaded or surrounded by the Origin country, and that state will not improve with diplomacy.
As the New country was overwhelmed by the repeated invasion (small skirmishes) of the Origin country until it exhausted, the Lord would declare the open war with it.
With the current agreement, it was prohibited to wage war between former players.
So, the economic effects are undermined in other areas.
(This chapter is provided to you by Re:Library)

『Even if we are continuing persuasion, they don’t seem to want to give up.
In the first place, we couldn’t solve the cause of the war.
They fight for a better life, for the sake of the nation, for the wealth, etc.
It’s not wrong but it’s distorted.
They might join hands together if they have common enemies such as invisible monsters threat or something.
Well, to be honest, I don’t understand well』(Luminaria)
『I’m not good at something like that as well. It would be better to leave it to Solomon.』(Mira)
When they talked to each other like joking, they thanked Solomon in their heart without ever showing up.
『First of all, if something can make this into charcoal, it should be the sword of King Guren, right?』(Mira) (T.N: Not Garen)
『Oh, I will ask them ~daze』(Luminaria)
Mira said her farewell to Luminaria and went out.
Luminaria called for Ritalia immediately and asks the Artisan Union.
As Mira went down in the elevator, Mira remembered the location of the Alkite Kingdom.
If it hadn’t changed from the old days, there should have been some primordial nations near the Alkite Kingdom.
(War was originally that sort of thing. Once it started, people will die.
I want to restraint for that …) (Mira)
Mira left the Tower of Sorcery and realized the weight of the task imposed on her.
As Mira left the Tower, she called Pegasus and flew off from the silver horn.
Several hours later, she arrived at the Royal Castle of Lunatic Lake, Alkite Kingdom.
After greeting a gatekeeper, she entered the castle.
Mira looks around in the entrance to find some she can ask where Solomon is.
Once again, Mira is impressed with the gorgeous red carpet, the chandelier, the paintings, the classic armor, the lamp, the embroidered red carpet that continues from the central stairs, and the lavish introspection.
(This is only the entrance, and it’s still gorgeous.
But who painted the picture on that side?) (Mira)
Mira has trouble judging whether this picture is good or bad. It was a painting of the lake where half-naked spirits gather.
A dynamic version that captures the moment that a young girl runs through the river.
Then, a girl who wore a piece of thin cloth and an angel who dances in the sky are obsessed with entangled hands.
In the original world, a fantastic picture that is likely to be called an illustration is displayed in a splendid frame.
While looking at such a picture, Mira’s eyes, who were thinking about something really good, caught the figure of the person she knew.
One of Solomon’s aide, Suleiman, who carries an infinite number of books on a dolly.
『Oh, isn’t that Suleiman? Just in time』(Mira)
When Mira came closer to him, Suleiman stopped and returned a smile.
『 Isn’t that Mira-sama? Welcome back.』(Suleiman)
『Umu, I’m here just now』(Mira)
Suleiman took his hand off the dolly and had a brief greeting.
When Mira returns the greeting, she glances at the books carried by Suleiman.
The titles were varied, but all of the piled books were consistently about ancient times.
『I’m sorry that I’ve pressed everything on you.
I’m not good at deciphering although I want to help.』(Mira)
『No, I just want to say thank you.
I didn’t think that the day that my ancient and spiritual knowledge would be useful for Solomon-sama would come.
Right now, every day is very fulfilling.
It’s all thanks to the material that Mira-sama brought back』(Suleiman)
Suleiman was overflowing with happiness as he said that.
Mira was reminded that Suleiman was such a person.
『Mira-sama, are you on the way to report now?』(Suleiman)
『That’s the way. Speaking of which, where is Solomon?』(Mira)
『 His majesty should be in the office this time, I will guide you』(Suleiman)
Suleiman begins to pull the dolly again while trying to lead the way.
But Mira thinks that it’s bad to disturb his deciphering work,
『No, it’s fine. I see you are busy. I remember the place』(Mira)
Mira glanced at the office direction while saying so.
『I understand. I will stay in the library for a while, so please call me whenever you need.』(Suleiman)
『Umu, it’s not good to hold back』(Mira)
The two of them just met by chance at the entrance.
Mira went up the central stairs towards the office, and Suleiman pulled the dolly across the entrance.
『Look, this is some good samples』(Solomon)
At the king’s office, after greeting and all, Mira arranged the Founder’s Seed collected at Primal Forest’s Demon Maze on the desk.
『Wow, that’s great. Ten of them have been collected. No, thank you very much』(Solomon)
Solomon took out the box from the desk and stored the Founder’s Seed inside. He was really grateful to Mira as she brought back more than enough.
『That’s right, “First Mate” found most of it.
He can see where it is.
His ability made it a lot easier』(Mira)
Mira sat on the sofa and spoke about her Catsith.
『That’s right. It’s a great ability.
If it’s so easy, it might be good to ask you again.
I’m so glad.』(Solomon)
『Uu… Well, if I have business to do nearby』(Mira)
Mira answered with a wry smile.
Seeing that, Solomon smiles saying thanks then asking about the main subject 《Well, how was it?》
『I got some testimonials from the Elders.
It’s no doubt that Soul Howl is asking for the Holy Grail』(Mira)
『I see. Then if you follow this lead, you might find him』(Solomon)
Solomon was expecting the result of collecting materials alone didn’t reach out to the Holy Grail in the end.
However, because Mira has confirmed Soul Howl’s trace, their action won’t become seawater bubbles.
Solomon loosened his cheeks a little, probably because he felt relieved to the good news.
『Oh. Well, when I saw the condition of the cutting roots, it looked pretty old.
The Elders didn’t remember when he came. Only if we could know about this, we could skip the process a bit』(Mira)
As there is no specialized knowledge, it’s not possible to identify the time of the cut.
Even if she has the knowledge, it will be difficult to grasp the growth of the sacred tree that isn’t common sense.
However, Mira thought that if Soul Howl was following the procedure, she could omit the early part which he already completed.
『I was expecting the Elder to remember but God is rough, isn’t it?
After that, was there any information that he tried to find a specific material?』(Solomon)
As Solomon said, Mira couldn’t afford to spend time alone to find Soul Howl’s clue, she was flying a lot to complete her task.
However, there’s nothing to be the indicator at the present time, they have to search for more information.
『Hmm, now that you ask about it,
It’s not a specific material,
The Elders said he needed a black-something on his way home』(Mira)
『What is black-something?』(Solomon)
『 Hmmm, something… scrape… sharp to cut…』(Mira)
『Scissors… or something-black that cuts the roots, but I think it’s black』(Solomon)
Solomon is pondering with unconnected information and murmurs 《Black … scrape, black…》
Mira is also looking at the ceiling while murmuring 《Black, Black》
『In the meantime, I think it’s just a waste to think about it.
It’s new information so will we call an expert?』(Solomon)
Solomon gave up quite soon and flick the Callbell from the other day with his fingertips.
After a while, there is a knock on the door, the expert, Suleiman showed his face.
『Suleiman, how far is the decipherment going?』(Solomon)
Solomon says it in a low voice with dignity.
『At the moment, we know that that it’s necessary to do something natural to process the roots.
Furthermore, it seems that it can’t be processed unless it’s a special place, but there’s no description of the place itself.
I’m troubled』(Suleiman)
Suleiman explains the situation and lowering his head apologetically.
『Really.
I don’t know what it will be like, but Mira has got new information directly from the Elder.
The roots might be scraped with something black.
Do you have any idea』(Solomon)
『I’m sorry to bother you when you are busy』(Mira)
『No, this is my role. I am honored to be called by you』(Suleiman)
Suleiman was happy to know the reason he was called.
With Suleiman joining the talk, Mira starts talking from the beginning about the Elders and everything.
Then, Suleiman was thinking for a while, he tried to unify the decipherment and the information that Mira brought back.
『I see. Thank you, Mira-sama. I understand the next place』(Suleiman)
In a few minutes of thinking, Suleiman got the final conclusion.
『Wonderful. That’s a great news』(Mira)
『Suleiman, where is that place?』(Solomon)
Suleiman took out the map in his pocket and spread it on the desk saying 《Excuse me》
It is a full view of the Continent. Suleiman pointed to the mountains to the east, north of the Arispharius Holy Land.
『I guess it’s this abandoned city』(Suleiman)
『Umu. Why is that?』(Mira)
『Yes.
First of all, a natural thing is needed to cut the roots.
From the processing difficulty degree of the god tree, it’s expected to be quite hard.
The next special place was totally unknown and according to the description, it’s impossible to process outside the area.
However, given the level of processing difficulty, the word “something black” that Mira-sama heard about gave me a breakthrough.
With the light in the deepest part of the Temple, you can transform the fragile Black Quartz into White Quartz which is harder than any gem.
It would be possible to cut the Elder’s roots.
White Quartz will return to Black Quartz in a few minutes. It explains the statement that processing elsewhere is impossible』(Suleiman)
When Suleiman explained the grounds, Mira and Solomon were greatly convinced and eager to hear.
『Surely, for the Elder’s Roots, not even the finest steel can do anything.
But if it’s White Quartz, it will surely be cut. Well done, Suleiman』(Solomon)
『It’s an honor to be of use』(Suleiman)
Suleiman replied in a humble and respectful attitude.
At that time, Solomon remembers what he was talking about before.
『Suleiman, if it was processed on the spot, there may still be shavings at that time.
Is it possible to identify the time of shavings by examining it?』(Solomon)
『From the shavings…
Yes. I can not say exactly, but that place is an abandoned city and the depths of the temple…
There is no deterioration due to wind and rain, the shavings will be left as it is so it’s possible』(Suleiman)
『Fumu, I see. Then it’s decided』(Mira)
Upon hearing Suleiman’s reply, Solomon turned his eyes to Mira.
Needless to say, Mira also got what Solomon wanted to say.
She shook her shoulder lightly and got off the sofa, waving her hand showing approval.
The bright sunlight passed through the bedroom’s window in the tower, slowly dispersing the drowsiness filling it. The girl’s disheveled silver hair glistened under the light as she slowly rose.
(She’s already awake, even though it’s so early.)
Mira looked to her side, only seeing an empty pillow. On the other side, Luna was still sleeping on her pillow, curled into a ball and breathing slowly. She smiled a bit watching Luna, and then opened the menu of her bracelet to check the current time.
(Oh, I just woke up late…)
It was already past 9:30am. Mira closed the menu and stretched out, then got out of bed and headed to the living room. On her way there, she spotted a certain outfit left on a small table. Clothes with a very familiar design on them.

「Good morning, Lady Mira.」
「Good morning.」
「Let me help you.」
She understood exactly what Mira was about to do, so she came at the perfect moment to help. Without waiting for Mira to accept or reject her help, she approached Mira and quickly began helping her get dressed.
Mariana was also very willing to make Mira’s hair, taking two almost transparent blue ribbons and tying her hair to each side. Watching her already cute appearance be enhanced with those twin tails, Mira looked quite satisfied with herself when she stood in front of a mirror.
Mariana was also quite happy with the result, mostly because she was able to touch Mira’s hair a lot. They spent some time in front of the mirror, and turned around and smiled looking at each other.
Luna woke up just when the girls were about to have breakfast, which was the best way a pet could wake up. After everyone ate, Mira explained her next plans to Mariana.

「It’s time for me to go now.」

「I’ve prepared lunch for you as well, make sure to enjoy it later.」
「Mm, thanks.」

「I’ll leave the rest in your hands.」

Mira hugged Luna tightly and then gave her to Mariana, who received her carefully and bowed to Mira.
「Take care.」
While it was a short exchange, and both of them were girls, the endearing tone of Mariana’s voice made it sound like a wife that was used to seeing her husband off like that.
But Mira was still oblivious to that, as well as the slight pout on Mariana’s cheeks who was still expecting to be hugged. Noticing that would be Mira’s future homework.

That’s a haunt of strangers who don’t care about how rare the items are.
I guess they will be experimenting a lot』(Luminaria)
A piece of the world tree has many uses and is highly effective, but it’s a very valuable item.
On the other hand, the Charcoal of the world tree is mainly used only for the material of special items such as Purification Secrets, so the Charcoal wasn’t really in demand compared to the wood piece.
Besides, the rare drop rate of Charcoal is also higher than the wood piece. Even if you want the Charcoal, it’s not necessary to make the wood piece into charcoal.
『A craftsman’s union? Is there such a guild』(Mira)
『Oh, there are Agricultural, Forestry, and Marine Unions too』(Luminaria)
『It’s getting so close to the original world. Which means we might have the International Union, too』(Mira)
Mira laughed as she said that. Then Luminaria smiled and replied.
『There is a similar union』(Luminaria)
Mira asked more about it and Luminaria explained the rough contents.
It called《Hinomoto Committee》
It was made by a former player in secret.
Because they are former players, that Committee has modern peace thought.
They have the moral of real life, not from the war game even though they have been reborn in this world where war constantly happens.
The Lord has made a series of rounds and exchanged the former players’ agreement in the back of the world.
As a former player and the largest nation, Atlantis Kingdom takes the lead to invites and discusses with the state’s Lord. The first meeting, they have an agreement on banning of war.
Even though that agreement greatly reduced the chance of war, but it never went away.
Because there are nations ruled by someone other than the former players. In other words, the country of the people who lived in this world from the beginning.
The 《Hinomoto Committee》 was called a new country.
The country ruled by the Lord of the land was called Origin Country.
There is a big gap of power between The Lords of the former players.
Most of the Japanese players are trying to avoid war.
But those who live in this world are trying to wage war.
Therefore, if there’s an opportunity, the former player’s country will be invaded or surrounded by the Origin country, and that state will not improve with diplomacy.
As the New country was overwhelmed by the repeated invasion (small skirmishes) of the Origin country until it exhausted, the Lord would declare the open war with it.
With the current agreement, it was prohibited to wage war between former players.
So, the economic effects are undermined in other areas.

『Even if we are continuing persuasion, they don’t seem to want to give up.
In the first place, we couldn’t solve the cause of the war.
They fight for a better life, for the sake of the nation, for the wealth, etc.
It’s not wrong but it’s distorted.
They might join hands together if they have common enemies such as invisible monsters threat or something.
Well, to be honest, I don’t understand well』(Luminaria)
『I’m not good at something like that as well. It would be better to leave it to Solomon.』(Mira)
When they talked to each other like joking, they thanked Solomon in their heart without ever showing up.
『First of all, if something can make this into charcoal, it should be the sword of King Guren, right?』(Mira) (T.N: Not Garen)
『Oh, I will ask them ~daze』(Luminaria)
Mira said her farewell to Luminaria and went out.
Luminaria called for Ritalia immediately and asks the Artisan Union.
As Mira went down in the elevator, Mira remembered the location of the Alkite Kingdom.
If it hadn’t changed from the old days, there should have been some primordial nations near the Alkite Kingdom.
(War was originally that sort of thing. Once it started, people will die.
I want to restraint for that …) (Mira)
Mira left the Tower of Sorcery and realized the weight of the task imposed on her.
As Mira left the Tower, she called Pegasus and flew off from the silver horn.
Several hours later, she arrived at the Royal Castle of Lunatic Lake, Alkite Kingdom.
After greeting a gatekeeper, she entered the castle.
Mira looks around in the entrance to find some she can ask where Solomon is.
Once again, Mira is impressed with the gorgeous red carpet, the chandelier, the paintings, the classic armor, the lamp, the embroidered red carpet that continues from the central stairs, and the lavish introspection.
(This is only the entrance, and it’s still gorgeous.
But who painted the picture on that side?) (Mira)
Mira has trouble judging whether this picture is good or bad. It was a painting of the lake where half-naked spirits gather.
A dynamic version that captures the moment that a young girl runs through the river.
Then, a girl who wore a piece of thin cloth and an angel who dances in the sky are obsessed with entangled hands.
In the original world, a fantastic picture that is likely to be called an illustration is displayed in a splendid frame.
While looking at such a picture, Mira’s eyes, who were thinking about something really good, caught the figure of the person she knew.
One of Solomon’s aide, Suleiman, who carries an infinite number of books on a dolly.
『Oh, isn’t that Suleiman? Just in time』(Mira)
When Mira came closer to him, Suleiman stopped and returned a smile.
『 Isn’t that Mira-sama? Welcome back.』(Suleiman)
『Umu, I’m here just now』(Mira)
Suleiman took his hand off the dolly and had a brief greeting.
When Mira returns the greeting, she glances at the books carried by Suleiman.
The titles were varied, but all of the piled books were consistently about ancient times.
『I’m sorry that I’ve pressed everything on you.
I’m not good at deciphering although I want to help.』(Mira)
『No, I just want to say thank you.
I didn’t think that the day that my ancient and spiritual knowledge would be useful for Solomon-sama would come.
Right now, every day is very fulfilling.
It’s all thanks to the material that Mira-sama brought back』(Suleiman)
Suleiman was overflowing with happiness as he said that.
Mira was reminded that Suleiman was such a person.
『Mira-sama, are you on the way to report now?』(Suleiman)
『That’s the way. Speaking of which, where is Solomon?』(Mira)
『 His majesty should be in the office this time, I will guide you』(Suleiman)
Suleiman begins to pull the dolly again while trying to lead the way.
But Mira thinks that it’s bad to disturb his deciphering work,
『No, it’s fine. I see you are busy. I remember the place』(Mira)
Mira glanced at the office direction while saying so.
『I understand. I will stay in the library for a while, so please call me whenever you need.』(Suleiman)
『Umu, it’s not good to hold back』(Mira)
The two of them just met by chance at the entrance.
Mira went up the central stairs towards the office, and Suleiman pulled the dolly across the entrance.
『Look, this is some good samples』(Solomon)
At the king’s office, after greeting and all, Mira arranged the Founder’s Seed collected at Primal Forest’s Demon Maze on the desk.
『Wow, that’s great. Ten of them have been collected. No, thank you very much』(Solomon)
Solomon took out the box from the desk and stored the Founder’s Seed inside. He was really grateful to Mira as she brought back more than enough.
『That’s right, “First Mate” found most of it.
He can see where it is.
His ability made it a lot easier』(Mira)
Mira sat on the sofa and spoke about her Catsith.
『That’s right. It’s a great ability.
If it’s so easy, it might be good to ask you again.
I’m so glad.』(Solomon)
『Uu… Well, if I have business to do nearby』(Mira)
Mira answered with a wry smile.
Seeing that, Solomon smiles saying thanks then asking about the main subject 《Well, how was it?》
『I got some testimonials from the Elders.
It’s no doubt that Soul Howl is asking for the Holy Grail』(Mira)
『I see. Then if you follow this lead, you might find him』(Solomon)
Solomon was expecting the result of collecting materials alone didn’t reach out to the Holy Grail in the end.
However, because Mira has confirmed Soul Howl’s trace, their action won’t become seawater bubbles.
Solomon loosened his cheeks a little, probably because he felt relieved to the good news.
『Oh. Well, when I saw the condition of the cutting roots, it looked pretty old.
The Elders didn’t remember when he came. Only if we could know about this, we could skip the process a bit』(Mira)
As there is no specialized knowledge, it’s not possible to identify the time of the cut.
Even if she has the knowledge, it will be difficult to grasp the growth of the sacred tree that isn’t common sense.
However, Mira thought that if Soul Howl was following the procedure, she could omit the early part which he already completed.
『I was expecting the Elder to remember but God is rough, isn’t it?
After that, was there any information that he tried to find a specific material?』(Solomon)
As Solomon said, Mira couldn’t afford to spend time alone to find Soul Howl’s clue, she was flying a lot to complete her task.
However, there’s nothing to be the indicator at the present time, they have to search for more information.
『Hmm, now that you ask about it,
It’s not a specific material,
The Elders said he needed a black-something on his way home』(Mira)
『What is black-something?』(Solomon)
『 Hmmm, something… scrape… sharp to cut…』(Mira)
『Scissors… or something-black that cuts the roots, but I think it’s black』(Solomon)
Solomon is pondering with unconnected information and murmurs 《Black … scrape, black…》
Mira is also looking at the ceiling while murmuring 《Black, Black》
『In the meantime, I think it’s just a waste to think about it.
It’s new information so will we call an expert?』(Solomon)
Solomon gave up quite soon and flick the Callbell from the other day with his fingertips.
After a while, there is a knock on the door, the expert, Suleiman showed his face.
『Suleiman, how far is the decipherment going?』(Solomon)
Solomon says it in a low voice with dignity.
『At the moment, we know that that it’s necessary to do something natural to process the roots.
Furthermore, it seems that it can’t be processed unless it’s a special place, but there’s no description of the place itself.
I’m troubled』(Suleiman)
Suleiman explains the situation and lowering his head apologetically.
『Really.
I don’t know what it will be like, but Mira has got new information directly from the Elder.
The roots might be scraped with something black.
Do you have any idea』(Solomon)
『I’m sorry to bother you when you are busy』(Mira)
『No, this is my role. I am honored to be called by you』(Suleiman)
Suleiman was happy to know the reason he was called.
With Suleiman joining the talk, Mira starts talking from the beginning about the Elders and everything.
Then, Suleiman was thinking for a while, he tried to unify the decipherment and the information that Mira brought back.
『I see. Thank you, Mira-sama. I understand the next place』(Suleiman)
In a few minutes of thinking, Suleiman got the final conclusion.
『Wonderful. That’s a great news』(Mira)
『Suleiman, where is that place?』(Solomon)
Suleiman took out the map in his pocket and spread it on the desk saying 《Excuse me》
It is a full view of the Continent. Suleiman pointed to the mountains to the east, north of the Arispharius Holy Land.
『I guess it’s this abandoned city』(Suleiman)
『Umu. Why is that?』(Mira)
『Yes.
First of all, a natural thing is needed to cut the roots.
From the processing difficulty degree of the god tree, it’s expected to be quite hard.
The next special place was totally unknown and according to the description, it’s impossible to process outside the area.
However, given the level of processing difficulty, the word “something black” that Mira-sama heard about gave me a breakthrough.
With the light in the deepest part of the Temple, you can transform the fragile Black Quartz into White Quartz which is harder than any gem.
It would be possible to cut the Elder’s roots.
White Quartz will return to Black Quartz in a few minutes. It explains the statement that processing elsewhere is impossible』(Suleiman)
When Suleiman explained the grounds, Mira and Solomon were greatly convinced and eager to hear.
『Surely, for the Elder’s Roots, not even the finest steel can do anything.
But if it’s White Quartz, it will surely be cut. Well done, Suleiman』(Solomon)
『It’s an honor to be of use』(Suleiman)
Suleiman replied in a humble and respectful attitude.
At that time, Solomon remembers what he was talking about before.
『Suleiman, if it was processed on the spot, there may still be shavings at that time.
Is it possible to identify the time of shavings by examining it?』(Solomon)
『From the shavings…
Yes. I can not say exactly, but that place is an abandoned city and the depths of the temple…
There is no deterioration due to wind and rain, the shavings will be left as it is so it’s possible』(Suleiman)
『Fumu, I see. Then it’s decided』(Mira)
Upon hearing Suleiman’s reply, Solomon turned his eyes to Mira.
Needless to say, Mira also got what Solomon wanted to say.
She shook her shoulder lightly and got off the sofa, waving her hand showing approval.
