Renkinjutsushi Desu. Jijou wa Gomibako ni Sutete Kimashita

Later in the night, when the quiet began to visit Wang Capital. Reyce was in one of the rooms of the solo inn, ready for tomorrow.

"A demon..."

Around the house of Reis, tomorrow's destination, demons exist. Clarify, Reyce doesn't like demons. You can call it trauma.

Because he's been chased around many times by dangerous demons on a hell-gathering tour with his master. Many such experiences in the first half of the ten units can also be traumatic. Besides, the master saw Reis running away crying and laughing with a shard in his belly.

In an abominable memory she doesn't even want to recall, Reyce laughs empty-handedly.

But fortunately, I'm not alone this time. I have a dependable companion named Raffie.

"It's best not to encounter it... ever. Phew..."

Reis finishes packing his bag with roughly what he needs and takes a breather. Therapeutic potions, as well as potions to get rid of demons, are inside.

Demons with a sensitive sense of smell have an intermediate effect. If ever, this will do some self-defense.

"It's just the ring."

Reis removed the red ring that was fitted in his middle finger on his right hand. And prepare a single sheet of bright white paper.

When Reyce placed the removed ring in the center of the paper, he began to draw complex tattoos around it, using blue powder. The right hand, which moves without hesitation, finishes drawing a pattern in the dozens of seconds of the thing.

"'Grant'"

Reis lays his hands on the removed ring and activates the alchemy. "Grant" is an alchemy in which magical effects are applied to accessories and the like by drawing demonic squares, creating magic props.

Demonic props are mostly used up, and once used, they just go back to accessories. You can also 'grant' it again on a demonic prop you used once, but it is inefficient because it will be significantly less effective.

'Granted' to the ring this time is the effect of impact resistance. If it's some kind of attack, the ring will replace my shoulder.

"Like this"

Reis re-fits the ring he finished 'granting' into his middle finger on his right hand. Now we're all set. All you have to do is rest your body slowly and get ready.

Reyce went into bed and closed her eyes quietly.

Tomorrow morning. While the stabbing cold air was felt, Lace and Raphy were assembling just outside the King's Capital.

Reis holds his usual bag from his shoulder, and Raffie possesses light armor and swords that only protect the steeple. I guess there's a bigger hemp bag on the hips and some other tools in there.

"I've got a carriage for you, get in."

"Oh, okay"

The distance from Wang Du to Reyce's house is about a day's drive by carriage.

I haven't told Raffy, but to see the progression of Sylvia's medical condition, is there a week of respite, or something like that? We have to hurry as much as possible.

"Speaking of which, even more so now, is it okay to take care of Sylvia?

"Hmm? Yeah, I asked Amelia to bow her head and take care of me while I was gone"

"I see. Then don't worry."

Raffie's relationship with Amelia came after Raffie became an adventurer. We'll be dating for years in time. That's all I trust.

Reyce took the horse's reins, making sure Raffie got in the carriage.

"Reis, can you even ride a horse"

"... Well, since my master was my master, I gained the skills necessary for chore relationships and life in advance. I didn't want to..."

"Oh well..."

Reis tells a hard story about his master as he leaks his dry voice hahahaha. Reyce decided to weigh herself because she could talk as much about her master as she wanted, but the darkness overflowed unstoppable.

"That's right, I've been wondering one thing since I saw Sylvia yesterday"

"Hmm, what?

"Magic crystal disease is supposed to be more of a disease found elsewhere. I wonder why Sylvia's developing."

If the memory of Reyce is certain, Magic Crystal Disease was originally discovered even more in the northeast than in the Wang capital. Examples of rare patients who developed Magic Crystal Disease were also just humans living in the Northeast. Magic crystal disease is not an infectious disease, so there is no way to go from person to person.

So why is Sylvia developing?

"Sylvia, have you ever visited the Northeast?

"No, I don't. At least not since I met Silvia."

"... that means -"

To Raffy's strange rhetoric, Rayce guessed what she wasn't going to say. Originally, I thought Sylvia and I didn't look alike at all.

"Well, as you might have noticed lightly, we're sisters-in-law"

"... may I ask why you're in law?

Maybe there's a deep reason. Raffie smiles lightly at how Reyes feels reluctantly.

"That's not such a big reason. It's just that I helped Sylvia lose her memory and took it away because she wasn't close."

Look at Raffie, who says so flatly, and Race gives a subtle look.

"At a younger age than now, I think that decision is quite a big deal..."

Raffie feels that the personality aspect is complete at a young age. The word 'honesty' suits Rayce best among the people he has ever met.

"I mean, don't you remember Sylvia?

"Oh. I don't know why Sylvia doesn't remember, either."

"Well, maybe Sylvia's from the Northeast. Northeast is where Magic Crystal Disease was discovered."

"I see... I'll remember"

Unexpectedly, he gets a clue to Sylvia's memory, and Raffie nods with a strange face. Nevertheless, curing the disease is now a prerequisite.

"Speaking of which, where is Reyce's house?

"In a certain forest going down this street for a while. It's a wooden shed."

"You lived in the woods, again in a very strange place..."

"Don't tell me. I'm aware of that too..."

Comparing the time I lived in the woods with my current life, I can definitely say that I am more comfortable now. I don't need to cook my own meals, and I sell a lot of things.

If we recover even the material we have left in the houses in the woods, our lives in the Wang capital will be a complete victory.

In the first place, the hut was originally inhabited by a master. Even so, my master suddenly disappeared one day.

Leis and I didn't live in an inconvenient place called the woods like it.

As such, the two continued to carry on to the house by carriage, pinching occasional conversations. And just a few more places to go to the woods.

"... hmm?

The sun is setting and my vision is already darkening. In the meantime, Reyce looked forward and narrowed her eyes surprisingly as she continued to hold the reins.

"Is that... a person?

A human silhouette floats down the street. It's not surprising that there are people, but the silhouette sits in the middle of the street.

Sometimes carriages go by. Doing that on the streets is dangerous for boulders. Reyce approaches the silhouette while slowing down the carriage, trying to be gentle.

Then Rayce noticed her mistake along the way.

……

Reyce is surprised to see the only person who could only be seen as a silhouette as clear. Probably an adventurer. He bleeds from all over his body and has repeated rough breaths.

Instead of not moving from the middle of the street, I guess I couldn't. Rayce rushed over to the adventurer as he stopped the carriage to the edge.
