Chapter 127.2

Translator: Jiro Editor: Ryunakama

After that we went to the Tiros Abandoned Factory numerous times but the passage that we had originally found was buried.

A place with a high density of mana usually goes back to what it was in just a few days Still the mana over there was pretty thin so I guess itll take a while before it goes back to normal.Well go there again eventually.After all, we have to leave at least a flower or two for Soara.

Zeph!! It is precisely in times like this that we must train!!

Okay, okay

Even since that day Milly became extremely eager.

Losing Soara must have come as a huge shock to her.She might just be using this to try and get her mind off of things Either way, it is a good direction for her.

Lets do our best again todayyy!! said Milly as she energetically raised both of her hands and dragged us off to hunt.

On a side note, Lydia hadnt been with us these past couple of days. She stayed back in town in order to take care of tasks such as finding ways of raising money and searching for work dispatched by the Adventurer Guild.

And theres also my request.

Only she could be entrusted with things such as this, so I was really grateful to have her with us.

With daily hunting and fulfilment of requests, as well as Lydias money raising strategies, the money we had continued accumulating and eventually we gathered a sum of 25 million rupi.

It was an amount that would allow us to buy a cheap Guild House.

However, the thing with money was that if one were to spend all of it, then it would be hard to make more later on. Thats why we had to leave behind some savings.

We would buy the Guild House after we amassed a bit more fortune.

Luckily the person who was hung up on the Guild House the most, precisely Milly, currently only had training in her head. Recently not a single mention of the Guild House could be heard coming from Millys mouth.

Speaking of which, todays job was to subjugate the Wired Bears that had come down from the mountain.

They were beasts that were covered in fur made out of steel, but were weak to magic.

With Shirushu finding them, and Claude taking up the task of diverting their attention, I and Milly were able to easily take them down with magic.

Good job.

Everyone, good job!! We finished early today so lets do a bit of hunting in the area around here. said Milly energetically.

S-Sure

It was great that she was motivated, but due to that we had been hunting nonstop for these past few days.

We had almost no free time.

Well burn out if we continue on like this

I wasnt that troubled by it, but Claude and Shirushu were completely exhausted. Both of them werent saying anything but it was clear that they were reaching their limits.

In the end, that day, we continued hunting until the sun went down.

I should find a way to let them rest somehow Hmph?

Just as we got back to the capital, after finishing with our hunt, I noticed that it was quite livelier than usual.

Come to think of it, the towns been really lively these past couple of days.Thats right.Now that I think about it its this time of the year

Claude-san. The villagers seem to be having a lot of fun these days, dont they? Its like theres a festival or something said Shirushu

Ah!! Come to think of it, theres a festival soon! said Claude as she clapped her hands.

Thats right, the Heavenly Mages Festival, which was held once every year was soon to be held.

The Heavenly Mages Festival is organized by the Five Heavenly Mages, each one of which stands on top of the Red, Blue, Green, Sky and Soul magic branches, and each year the Heavenly Mage in charge of the festival rotates.

It costs money to study magic. And when it comes to the Five Heavenly Mages, each one of them have a lot of subordinates so they have to find a way to gather money.

Therefore, a long time ago, one of the Five Heavenly Mages held a festival in order to gather money. That was the beginning of the Heavenly Mages Festival.

Currently it was a huge event that even had countries and associations participating in it.In particular, the highlight of the event was theTitle Battlewhich was usually held at the end.

It is precisely as the name states, a battle in which the hosting Heavenly Mage fights against a challenger with his title on the line. If the challenger wins then he becomes the new Heavenly Mage. Usually it ends with the defeat of the challenger, however in some really rare cases the challenger may end up winning.

In my previous life I won against one of Heavenly Mages and thats how I received the title Flames of Flames. However, there were other ways to obtain the title of a Heavenly Mage as well.

For example, if a master hands it over to his student. Or if one is deemed to have higher level and talent than one of the Five Heavenly Mages. Just how I was robbed of my title in my past life.

Just thinking about it makes me angry.

Well excluding those others methods, the normal way for one to obtain the title would be through the Title Robbing Battle.

On a side note, the Heavenly Mage in charge of this years festival was the bearer of the title Wind of Wind.

Come to think of it I havent seen Lydia in a while. Shes not in the inn as well I bet that you made her do something again Zeph, didnt you? said Milly as she glared at me.

Thats not a nice thing to say you know I just had her do some preparations for the festival.

Though, the preparation for the festival does include a way of earning money as well.After all we can only earn so much by just reselling stuff.

During the time of the festival, people from the nearby villages as well as people from far off countries gather.

As long as a lot of people gather, money will also gather. In other words, this was just the right time to make money.

That is precisely why Lydia was currently using the knowledge I gave her from my past life in order to produce a certain thing.

And by cooperating with Adrei, that thing was already being mass produced.

The Flower Bomb that I had asked Claude and Shirushu to buy before were one of the things components.

We needed a spacious place for this times plan so Im currently having Lydia work there.

Is that so. You should have said something earlier. said a bit irritated Milly.

When Lydia-san concentrates on her work she even forgets to eat Im a bit worried. said Claude.

Shes right, Lydias really hasnt shown herself in the past few days.Theres some traces that shes been back at the inn, but Im still a bit worried.Guess its not a bad idea to go visit her.

Well since were all here why not go and visit Lydia.

Youre right!! Maybe theres something that we could help out with!! said Milly energetically.

And just like that we headed towards the house that Lydia was renting.

Since that incident in Tiros Lydia rented a house and only did the job that I had asked of her.

It was a large, rugged house near the stall square. This was the house that Lydia was renting.

I had already been here a number of times so I was quite familiar with it.

Lydia! Hey, Lydia! Are you there? Hmph, shes not responding.

Even when knocking she didnt come out.

Guess Ill have to let myself in.

I used the duplicate key that I had with me in order to go in. She probably had no time to clean the inside of the house, as it had stuff lying around everywhere.

It was truly a place without even a single clean space to step on.

Milly dashed off in front of us and entered inside.

Lydiaaa!! she yelled out, but there was no response.

Hmph, shes not picking up the Telepathy call as well. She might be sleeping.

When we went to the back of the house, we saw a widely open room with a desk, and on top of the desk there was a blanket that was moving.

Urgh Who is it? said Lydia as she looked towards us with a sleepy face.

She really was asleep.

Hey Lydia. Did we wake you up?

Hmph?

Lydia was only in her underwear.

She was scratching her head with a vacant expression but then her expression gradually became clearer.

And then with an embarrassed face, she wrapped herself in the blanket.

Z-Zeph-chi?!W-Wait!! D-Dont come closer!! I have things to take care of.

Im sorry. You didnt respond to the Telepathy, so I directly came here.

I guess Im at fault as well In any case, Im still a girl, so at least wait a bit until I get dressed. saying that Lydia turned around, and while covered in her blanket, she bounced to the back of the room.

Hmm. I dont think her underwear is that different than her regular exposed clothes though I still cant understand why she gets so embarrassed.

Should we wait for her over there. proposed Claude

Sure.

We waited in the rooms corner for Lydia to change her clothes. After that Lydia appeared from the back of the room in her usual attire.

Im sorry I kept you waiting. said Lydia in her usual tone.

She still looks a bit messy.I guess she really must have not slept and eaten the past few days

So, whyd you come here?

We thought wed check on how the preparations for the festival were going.

If theres anything we can help with, please tell us. said Claude.

Ohh!! Really?!! Lydias eyes shone as she heard Claudes words.

Actually, there was just something I needed help with. Can I have you guys stand over there? said Lydia and she went back to sit on the chair that she had just woken up from.

She then gathered some papers on top of the desk.

And then she inspected us with her eyes as she began to sketch down something.

Um What should we do? asked nervously Shirushu

Wait! Shirushu-chan, dont move! said Lydia as she stopped Shirushu, who was trying to stretch out her arm, and continued drawing.

O-Okay!!

Milly, Claude and Shirushu looked confusedly at each other and followed Lydias instructions.

I see. It seems like Lydias work is going well.Its already progressed to here.

Since I knew what Lydias intentions were I kept my pose from the start, without moving at all.
