Skull Empire. That is the name of an empire that controls all the land that extends further north of the Kingdom of Canovaria. The power of the Skull Empire is tremendous, winning a series of wars hundreds of years ago in an attempt to expand the territory to this day.

The Kingdom of Canovaria was not swallowed, but most of the other kingdoms came under the control of the Skr Empire. That said, there is no tough repression or anything right now, and it functions as a normal big country. Our kingdom is usually traded, too. Besides, people also flow to and from the empire, to and from the kingdom.

They have Rafe Allan in the empire capital of such an empire.

Rafe Allan, whose name is famous worldwide. Even I know it's oblivious to the world. A man who accomplished numerous feats, albeit in the untimely position of adventurer. At first it seemed to turn demon hunting and such into a business "impersonation" rather than a labyrinth, but the past few years have embarked on a labyrinth attack. That's how he attacked the Third Labyrinth a few months ago. Exactly the realm of less than the forerunners. I'm just impressed.

And we were on our way to the Skull Empire to meet the man.

"... haha, you're used to traveling in carriages too"

"I hate to shake it a little bit, though."

"Travel time is, like, half a day, right? Then..."

"Ah. We should be here soon."

Fee, me, Monica's three were getting in the carriage and moving around. I'm tired of traveling a lot these days, but I can't help it. If you think this will all lead to crops too, you'll be fine. Besides, now is the time to leave the research behind. The results will be just fine in a few months. I left the care of Proto and No. 1 to Rita and Alice. "Leave it to me! I'll make it a fine vegetable!," Rita said in fancy, "but I guess Rita has that kind of talent. Becoming a teacher in the future, just like me, could be a good choice.

"Examination. Keep your badges and permits, both of you."

"Okay."

"Okay."

We've reached the gates of the Imperial capital, and we're moving on to the examination. Get out of the carriage, pay for it, and go side by side one by side. We're alchemists for the association, so badges and permits from the association become ID cards.

"Next person...... is that a threesome? What can I do for you?"

"... Now would you shut up and let me through?

Fee bribes the person who is conducting the interrogation. Quite a bit of money. My heart must shake.

"... an alchemist? You got a permit?

"Yes, for three."

"Confirm. Alsfira Medice, Elweed Willis, Monica Dunn...... hmm? Elweed? No way, the Alchemist from the Bitstar Blue Stella? No, silly. Such a celebrity..."

"This is a badge. It's real."

I show off my shiny badge. And then the opponent sees it and starts to tremble.

"Seriously?

"Yes. A little for wild use. Don't pry, I'd appreciate it."

"... ok. All three, go ahead."

Monica said she was subhuman, but she didn't say anything in particular. It must have worked for me.

"Wow... it's big..."

Monica gives an exclamation. I've never been to the empire before, too, but it's much bigger than the kingdom. This imperial capital is the heart of the empire. It is the center of many kingdoms. I knew it was bigger than the Kingdom of Canovaria, but so far...

First of all, the number of buildings is different, and the number of paths you are going through is different. Extreme is the number of people. The population is several times that of the Kingdom of Canovaria. We are overwhelmed by overwhelming population density.

"Well, this isn't a festival either, is it?

"That's right. It's a holiday, so there's a lot of them."

"Mr. Fee is used to it, isn't he?"

"Hmm? Ah... work patterns, they come often. And as a nobleman, there's a party."

"Has Mr. Elle never been here?

"With that said, Phee once invited me, but you didn't come because you were a big deal of research at the time. Totally new. So, Phee. Where are we going first?

"It's an association. Chairman here, I need to say hello to Clarice."

That's how we managed to get through the crowd and reach the Alchemy Society of the Skull Empire.

"This is... this is the association here. Big."

My thoughts are summed up in one word that I'm big. Yes, it's big. The kingdom of Canovaria feels long vertically. It feels longer than bigger. But all I get is the feeling that Skull Empire's is wide on the side and big.

Wide on the side and deep. But it's not big vertically, and I think it's about the fifth floor.

"Well, shall we go"

When we went inside, there were a lot of people out there. Boulders are the most populous country in the world. The number of alchemists is also the highest in the world. There is a reception on the way in, and on the left and right of it is a bar or something like a cafe. Probably exchanging information and all that stuff over there.

"Oh? Is that Master Alsfira?

When the lady at the reception says so, Fee replies with a chuckle.

"Yep. Is Clarice here now?

"I'm sorry. The chairman is currently away..."

"Is something wrong?

"Anything seemed like a lot going on west of the Empire, and the aftertreatment. But I'm going back tomorrow."

"Yes. Okay."

"Oh, um... what about the two of you? If you're an alchemist, I'd like you to show me your badge..."

We were removing our badges during the interrogation earlier, so now it's not attached to the collar of our clothes. No matter how many face-to-face Phys you bring, confirmation will be important.

Me and Monica just put a badge on the collar.

Monica wears a platinum Platinum badge and I wear a Bitstar Blue Stella badge. Then the receptionist looks pompous.

"Also, could it be... Mr. Elweed Willis, an alchemist for the Bitstar Blue Stella?

"Oh, you're right. You're gonna be okay with this, right?

"Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep!!!!!!?? hey, is that really that Bi star Blue Stella!!?

"Ah. In evidence. Here."

I smell the roses from my right hand without the pong and the smelting formation and give them to the lady at the reception. Send flowers to women. This, by the way, is Phee's word.

"Ah... uh... ah, no smelting formation... is it? Isn't it real?!! Sign it!!

They give me the signature colored paper and pen I took out of nowhere, and I get confused and used to it in the kingdom, so I do it fast.

"Yes, go ahead"

"Uh-oh... I'll make this a family heirloom! Thanks a lot!!

Then a large number of more women come from the back of the reception and get autographed. Phee and Monica disappeared when they said, "Because I'm having tea over there".

Oh... what a long time feeling, but I'm still tired...

When I finished dozens of signatures, there was another crowd behind me.

"Really Bitstar Blue Stella?

"Such a kid?

"No, but Elweed Willis is 16. That's about it."

"... you do have an atmosphere"

"Is this the highest alchemist in the world..."

From men on the strong side to women, the alchemists who were raving about me until earlier look at me as a giraffe.

"Hahaha... nice to meet you, I'm Elweed Willis... ha"

"Hey, we talked."

Somebody ask me something.

"You go."

"No, I'm here."

"No, it's me."

I'm pushed by the pressure of an impending person, but it's troublesome, so I let the wind blow on the spot with alchemy to make everyone step back.

"Seriously......"

"Did you see the smelter now?

"No... but there's also the possibility that I'm carving it into my body..."

"No, that didn't show any signs right now. What you're carving into your body glows slightly."

"What is it... real?

"It's real!!

"Bitstar Blue Stella is here!!

"" "" "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!!!

Ko, this looks stuffy again...... and ho.

And for better or worse, I was greeted by the alchemists of the Empire.

God of crops, help me...
