After a week of travel, Noir-san and I arrived in the westernmost town of Murun.
Murun is a peaceful country town.
Beyond the town, earthen-colored towers loom over the city, and beyond that, mountains stand in the distance.
The ruins are just beyond those mountains.
「I like this town.」
「Me too. I want to live in a place like this when I'm old.」
「Yeah. Because it's not cold here.」
「Oh, that's why......」
Nevertheless, it is certainly a comfortable place to spend time.
「What are we going to do now?」
「We'll go to the inn first. Then we'll find the masters.」
We're going to look for them, but we know where they are.
According to Noir's map, there was one red dot in the town and two red dots at the tower.
(T/N: I have some guesses on the tower true identity but I might be wrong...)
After deciding what to do we walked around the town and not too long we find an old inn.
「Isn't it Ash-kun!」
As soon as I entered the inn, an uncle came running up to me.
「I'm here to stay. Is there a room available?」
「It's open! Well, I didn't expect Ash-kun to come stay with us!」
The uncle spoke passionately and handed me the key to the room.
「Take your time~!」
The uncle saw us off and we headed upstairs to our room.
And just as I put my hand on the door, the door of the next room opens.
「Oh, my, you're early.」
The person who spoke to me in a timid manner was Colon-san.
From the way she was talking, I guess Ai-chan had told her we were coming beforehand.
So she must have heard about the Demon King.
「What are the masters doing?」
After giving a light greeting, I asked Colon-san.
If Colon-san is the one in town, then Master and Principle Philip should be at the tower.
What on earth are they doing in a place like that.
At my question, Colon-san looks somewhat proud of herself.
「Oh, that tower...... it's a magic wand.」
(T/N: Yep! Jackpot!)
I wasn't quite sure about what Colon-san said, so I decided to go to the masters.
◆
After leaving our luggage in the room, Noir-san and I headed to the tower with Colon-san.
There, Master and Principle Philip were flattening and touching the tower.
If you look closely, you can see that they seem to be attaching soil to the tower.
「It's been a long time, Master.」
When I spoke to them, the masters stopped their work.
「Mmm? Oh, it's Ash! It's been a long time!」
「I think you're both tired from the long trip. Here, you should drink this.」
With that, Principle Philip handed me a drink.
After I had quenched my thirst, I asked the masters about it.
「Is it true that this is a magic wand?」
It looked to be 100 meters high and five meters wide.
I've read many catalogs of magic wands, but as expected, I couldn't find a magic wand of this size in any book.
「Umuu. As per Ash's request, we're working on "a magic wand that will never break"!」
In other words, it's my own personal magic wand.
「I can't believe you went to all this trouble to make such a big magic wand for me......」
I can't help but feel my tear glands loosen at the feelings of the masters.
「That looks hard to use.」
I'm sure if you took a street corner survey, everyone would agree with Noir-san, but for me, usability is a minor issue.
「How long will it take to complete?」
「I wonder when it will be ready for....... We'd like to finish it as soon as possible, but we're having a hard time gathering materials.」
「But this is dirt, right? You don't have a problem with the material, do you?」
「This is not a dirt nor a soil. There's a monster called the Iron Worm living around here.」
(T/N: Raw: アイアンワーム)
I read in a book that Iron Worms are caterpillars the size of a house that can swallow them whole.
Well, iron worms are basically harmless since they burrow deep into the ground all year round.
「The Iron Worm appears on the earth only once a year. It only shows up on its backside, though.」
「Iron worms have to defecate. The excrement is incredibly hard.」
「In short. If you collect the incredibly hard excrement, harden it, and keep compressing it...... you will have a magic wand that will never break.」
Then master sighs.
「However, Iron Worm excrement is very valuable. Most of it is mixed in with the soil.」
「We really wanted to make it from 100% pure excrement. But we couldn't do it, so we ended up with something like 60% purity.」
Even so, 60% of it is p●op.
(T/N: The raw put censor here, I just wanted to faithfully follow the raw as much as possible)
However, it only smells of dirt, It reflects the sunlight and makes me feel kind of cool, If it's this big, you can put any pattern you want on it.
If you carve a cool pattern, you'll love it, and in that sense, I'm glad Its this size.
「Well, we'll use our magic to cover what's missing.」
「There's nothing for you to worry about, Ash-kun.」
「You can leave everything to us.」
The masters smile gently at me.
This magic wand is filled with the love of the masters!
As soon as I thought about it, I became attached to the magic wand.
「I will definitely use this when I become a wizard!」
「Umuu! We make the highest quality magic wands. Ash, you must work hard to obtain magic power!」
I nodded vigorously.
「That's what I'm here for. Have the masters been told about the ruins?」
「We've heard about it. Noir-chan there is helping Ash, isn't she? Thank you so much.」
「Ash is the one who saved me. Now I'm going to save Ash.」
「You're a good girl, Noir-chan.」
Noir-san, who was praised by the masters, looked kind of happy.
「So, when will you go to the ruins?」
「Tomorrow.」
「Well, I guess we should accompany him. Maybe we'll be able to witness the moment Ash becomes a wizard.」
And so it was that I headed for the ruins with my masters.
After a week of travel, Noir-san and I arrived in the westernmost town of Murun.
Murun is a peaceful country town.
