“Glaas was nothing but an obstacle since he refused to ally with me. That’s why I had been planning to enlist the aid of other nobles to frame him and dismantle the Kashit house… but progress has been slower than I’d hoped.” My silence must have seemed like hesitation over whether to accept his offer. Believing he was gaining ground, Lakkra pressed further with his persuasion. “But Toa, if I were to install you as the new head instead, the process would be far easier. Leave it to me, and…-

Riding the wind, Uncle Gry and Roa kept ascending until they reached the upper rim of the shaft. <This level above is the top floor. It used to be our nest.> The hole had not pierced through the ceiling of that floor. The space above Roa was covered by a stone, arched vault; if Uncle Gry was to be believed, the floor above that ceiling was the topmost level the gryphons used as their nesting ground. Apparently even they hesitated to bore a hole straight through their own nest. “Uncle…-

Chapter 31 - Zizi’s Past When I, Zizi, was nine years old, my father — a Human adventurer — was killed by thieves while escorting a convoy belonging to the Elbis trading company. My mother, a Rabbit Beastkin, endured the grief and did all she could to support me and my little sister. Her health had always been frail, however, and because of all the hard work she had to go through, she ended up following our father in heaven just one year later.

“You’re safe! Thank goodness!” That was the first thing out of Roa’s mouth when Dietrich spoke to him. Dietrich looked well enough, but Roa noticed a bruise on his face, as if he’d taken a punch. His joy at seeing them again was immediately replaced by concern. He imagined they must have survived a serious ordeal to get here. All throughout this journey, Roa had seemed composed, but in truth he’d constantly worried about both the party Nostalgia, whom he had dragged into this,…-

“Alright! Its movement’s slowed down a lot. Time to finish this!” The frantic panic from when the Gigant Skeleton first appeared now seemed like a distant memory as Dietrich declared with confidence. Over an hour had passed. The undead behemoth was thoroughly entangled in Roa’s adhesive slime and lay nearly immobile. It twitched occasionally, but every spasm only worsened its entrapment. The Gigant Skeleton, animated by pure mana, did not weaken from physical fatigue. As long as it remained…

<Brat, are you absolutely sure there aren’t any left?> “I told you, there’s nothing here.” <Really? Hey, playboy—you confirmed it too, right?> “I already said I did, didn’t I?” Kristoff, referred to as “playboy,” replied without even looking at Uncle Gry, clearly unwilling to entertain him any further. <Are you certain...?> “Uncle Gry, enough already!” Roa snapped, and Uncle Gry finally fell silent—though clearly unsatisfied.

<Brat, don’t just follow it with your eyes, read the motion of its wings.> “But it’s too fast—!” <Every attacking magic beast has a target. Anticipate that, and trace the route it’ll take. Watch the state of its wingbeats. Compared to the rabbit’s unpredictable moves, this is far easier. The basics are the same as with beasts or humans.> Under Uncle Gry’s guidance, Roa was fending off a bird-type magic beast. Beyond the iron plate—on the sixteenth floor—there had…

Leaving the workshop, the two of them went straight toward the residential district of Parda Island. Apartment-style housing stood in rows, and they passed staff members who seemed to be off duty. “This way.” Retoneka’s room was in an apartment near the edge. Inside, the dining area was immediately visible, with two doors at the back. Retoneka went straight to the left door and opened it. The room contained just a bed, a desk, and a bookshelf, with little sense of daily life. The only…-
