The sea that was in between the Dark Continent and the Shutaia Continent was called the 『Sea of Farthest Ends』.

It was now known that the Dark Continent is beyond that sea, but that wasn’t the case in the past.

『Sea of Farthest Ends』.

Constantly running wild, it was a sea where one could not see what was ahead.

Seeing that, the people purported that it was a 「sea where the Gods’ blessings had ceased」.

There is nothing beyond here, only the end of the world.

Therefore, the Gods sealed this sea as the 「Farthest End」 to make it so that people would not approach it.

A portion of brave sailors went out to travel to try and see the end, but not a single one of them came back.

There was no mistake that they were swallowed up by the Farthest Ends.

Therefore, one must not approach it.

「……And well, that is why this sort of story was the most spread out in the Shutaia Continent.」

「How was it for us?」

When Shion nodded at Nino’s reasonable question, he placed the book that had 『Sea of Farthest Ends』 written on it down on the desk.

「It was something similar. Shipbuilding engineering itself hadn’t even existed, and there wasn’t anyone interested in what was on the other side of the sea. It seemed that they didn’t know that the thing known as the Shutaia Continent even existed.」

Far from just that, it was said that the Mazoku of the Dark Continent didn’t even know about the existence of Humans.

What changed that situation, was a certain day.

A single woman was washed ashore on the coast of the Dark Continent.

Altejio who was just a mere Mazoku in those days──the current Demon King Army Northern General had held an interest in that strange woman.

She was far shorter than him in height like a child, but her appearance and atmosphere were complete like that. She was a woman that had that sort of strange balance.

After helping her out in jest, he learned that the woman was part of a race known as Metalio.

Metalio──a.k.a the Ore-man race. A race that specialized in blacksmithing.

Naturally, the Altejio of that time didn’t know about that.

Altejio told the woman that he himself was a Mazoku.

Although the Metalio woman who heard that was surprised, she immediately apologized for her reaction.

When Altejio asked the woman who had come from a place that was not here what she intended to do from now on, it was said that the woman said that she wanted to stay here.

The woman said that her name was Margarett.

To that woman who had said that she cast away her birthplace and went on a journey, Altejio did not ask for anymore details. He said that he was hesitant to ask due to her painful looking state.

When she revealed that her special skill was in blacksmithing, she made a request saying that she wanted to produce arms for Altejio who had taken care of her as thanks.

Like that, numerous arms including Altejio’s beloved sword, 「Light Burying Sword Auraal」,were born, and at the same time, blacksmithing techniques were brought to the Dark Continent.

Majin who had further interest in blacksmithing techniques seemed to go to Margarett to study one after another, and Majin who devoted themselves to blacksmithing spread throughout every place of the continent.

Incidentally, it was said that the number of Majin walking the coast wondering if there were any interesting fellows that had come in had increased.

「Weren’t there any Majin that held an interest in what was on the other side of the sea?」

「It seems that there weren’t any fellows that held that sort of spirit of inquiry.」

When Shion answered, Nino went “I see” and nodded.

「……What happened between Altejio and Margarett?」

「I don’t know since he didn’t answer me.」

Pretending that he didn’t hear Nino’s muttering of “when we get back, let’s definitely get him to spit it out……”, Shion collected his thoughts.

The Mazoku of the Dark Continent did not possess an interest in the other side of the 『Sea of Farthest Ends』.
