[Disturbing Report]

“Hoo, hoo, hoo, it vividly reminded me of the time when you two were scolded by Florina. The current Noelia-jou really resembles my best disciple, Florina.”

Linus was laughing at the figure of the two scolded by Noelia.

“Linus-sama, I don’t care about that story. Rather, isn’t better for you to ask Frick-sama about the Spell Sword now?”

“Ohh, that’s right. Because Lloyd-dono and Gawain were making a ruckus, I forgot about it.”

Linus grabbed his own chair, came next to me and sat down.

“So, about the Spell Sword… According to the story I heard from Noelia-jou, it seems that you have bestow magic effect to sword, is that true?”

While giving off being immensely curious-like feeling, Linus leaned forward and asked about the Spell Sword.

“H-haa. The fur of the Demon Beast Cerberus had the effect of reducing magic, so I was wondering if I could add a magic effect after slashing it…so, I tried it to see if it works.”

“Hoo, activate after slashing, huh…”

“Yes, I’m adjusting it with the feeling of wanting the magic to be activated when the blade bites inside.”

“I see…Then you can hit the opponent with all the magic effect without reducing it, huh…”

Like Noelia, Linus listened to the talks about magic with his eyes glittering like a child.

“The incantation to manifest it’s form seems to be ‘Oh burning flames, dwell in my sword and burn my enemies. Flame Sword’, but I wonder if it’s possible to apply other magics like this?”

“I haven’t tried it yet, but I think it’s possible to add the effect of attack magic.”

“Hou hou, if you can put on attack magic of various attributes, it feels like you can exert more power with the opponent’s weakness attribute.”

In regards to the Spell Sword, although it was a magic I created, there were still things I didn’t understand about it.

Currently, what have been confirmed is that it has the effect of increasing damage by cladding the sword with attack magic.

“I see, I see…the idea of putting magic effect on a sword won’t come from a mage after all. This may be a big discovery.”

Linus heard the story about the Spell Sword from me, and he put his hand on his chin and began to think.

“Linus-sama, if Gawain-shishou’s Body Enhancement magic and Frick-sama’s Spell Sword are combined, the resulting power will be quite powerful. This may be a revolutionary discovery of magic. By all means, I would like to continue to research with Frick-sama.”

Noelia, who became talkative when it came to magic, was addressing Linus.

However, an abrupt change occurred to such a peaceful dinner party.

“I-it’s an emergency!!”

A knight with a panicked look on his face rushed into the dining room.

“What’s going on? We’re having guests right now!”

“Ha! I’m sorry! But it’s an emergency!! The Adventurer’s Guild has reported that an adventurer who was exploring the Demon Forest saw an individual that seems to be an Abyss Walker!”

“What!?”

Lloyd had a change of complexion and stood up from his seat.

Everyone held their breath at the knight’s report that Abyss Walkers, who hadn’t been seen for 20 years, was found in the Demon Forest.

“Is the report true? Is it not a mistake?”

Meiss, who is the knight captain, asked back with an expression that seems to not believe the knight’s report.

“The adventurer who reported it is a veteran adventurer who survived the previous Great Invasion, it is unlikely to be mistaken – so is the is the report from the Guild Master!”

“Meiss, gather the knights right away! Request the adventurers to guard the city! I’m sorry to the residents, but they will not go out until we can confirm the safety.”

Lloyd immediately decided to mobilize the knights and ordered the blockade of the city of Youg Hannotes.

In the great invasion that occurred 20 years ago, Abyss Walkers overflowed throughout the Kingdom due to the neglect of the initial response. It seems he took a lesson from that.

“Lloyd-dono, let me accompany you to confirm the truth of the report. If it truly is the Abyss Walker, I have to report it to the King.”

“Okay. I’ll have Linus-shi accompany me. Bring me my armor! I’ll go to the Demon Forest immediately. Frick, I’m sorry. Because of this situation, I’ll have the reception ends here.”

In the room that started to get busy, Lloyd apologized and about to gets out of the room.

At this rate, if the outbreak occurs, this city of Youg Hannotes will be the first city to be damaged.

The me now may be able to defend against the Abyss Walkers. I have to help here.

“Frontier Count-sama, please count me in too!”

Hearing that the Abyss Walkers might have revived, I couldn’t just stand still doing nothing, I immediately offered to help Lloyd.

After I offered to help, he looked at my face and thought for a moment.

“All right. Follow me! We’ll leave immediately.”

“Yes, I’ll go ahead with Dimol.”

“That Wyvern, huh. Alright, thank you for going ahead and scout the situation. Tell Frick the sighting point.”

Lloyd gave such an instruction, and the knight who came to report showed me a map depicting the point where the Abyss Walker was sighted.

“I-I’ll also accompany you! Frick-sama, I’ll get ready soon, so please wait for a while. I’ll change my clothes really quick. Suzana! Help me change my clothes!”

“Yes, I’ll bring it right away.”

“O-oi! Noelia! I don’t allow you to accompany him! Oi! Are you listening?”

Noelia, who was about to return to her room with her maid Suzana, ignored Lloyd’s order.

“Now that she has decided so, Noelia-sama will not listen to you. Frick-dono, please take care of Noelia-sama.”

Seeing off Noelia returning to change clothes, Meiss asked me to take care of her.

“Guuu! Frick! Because this is an emergency, I’ll leave Noelia to you. I’ll leave her to you O-N-L-Y because of the emergency!”

“Y-yes, I understand. There is Dimol as well, please rest assured that I will not let Noelia do anything dangerous.”

“Alright, I’ll also take the knight order right away.”

Only leaving behind those words, Lloyd and co left the room.
