Magic Sword.

That is the Magic Swordsman’s secret technique, which clads a weapon in magical power and raises its offensive ability.

The Fire Magic Sword which clads it in fire, the Wind Magic Sword which clads it in wind.

There was a Magic Sword for every attribute, but excluding the cases where there was a need to think about the attribute as an opposition method against magic and the Elements that were currently appearing in mankind’s territory, there was no particular reason for the practitioner to choose an attribute.

To the very end, the objective was to increase the attack’s might.

There was no superiority or inferiority between any Magic Sword attribute, and the practitioner would chose the attribute depending on their own preference and affinity……that is what is said.

However, Sancreed wondered if that really was true.

Certainly, the Magic Sword was something only meant to increase offensive ability.

Even if he poured in enough magical power to the point that the weapon couldn’t endure it and break, a Fire Magic Sword wouldn’t burn anything, and a Water Magic Sword wouldn’t wet anything.

But, Sancreed always thought this.

The Magic Sword, isn’t its current technique form incomplete, and isn’t there something even beyond this……

No matter how many times he wielded a sword, those doubts wouldn’t be resolved, and Sancreed wouldn’t even grasp a clue for them.

Sancreed’s doubts deepened even further after seeing Fainell’s Magic Fist.

Fainell’s Magic Fist wasn’t limited to just strengthening her fists, magical power of that attribute would pour onto the opponent that received the blow.

It also seemed that Fainell wasn’t purposely pouring that magical power on them, so he was able to interpret that as the cause possibly being the difference in properties between fists and swords.

However, on a certain day.

Having visited the Demon King Castle’s Grand Library for some reason, Sancreed found a certain account within a copy of a book.

That book was something where the information that the intelligence unit had gathered was collected into something simple, as well as a log of when Rokuna had directly gone to mankind’s territory for the sake of researching Summon Magic.

What was written there, was vocabulary that bothered him.

Fire Charge.

Those were the words of a young Human girl, who lived in a country in mankind’s territory called the St. Altlis Kingdom, had shouted.

The fact that what was actually done was that it clad her spear with fire magical power was written in the report that the intelligence operative Ein, who had witnessed it, had made.

Even a note saying that this much was something that often happened in this generation of mankind was added, and that they didn’t really get the meaning of that……but the vocabulary Fire Charge had strangely tugged at Sancreed’s heart.

When Sancreed raised his face from the book and turned around, Rokuna’s figure as she was buried in a mountain of books and documents as usual was there.

「Rokuna, there’s something I want to ask you.」

「What. If you’re trying to increase my work, then I’ll send you flying.」

「I want to ask you something about when you went to mankind’s territory.」

Hearing Sancreed’s words, Rokuna went “Nnー” and groaned.

「If it’s about Summon Magic, I won’t tell you anything. If it’s anything other than that, then I don’t know since I didn’t care. Ah, but, if it’s related to the Elements, then ask Ver-cchi or Ykslaas.」

「No, it isn’t about that……It’s about the young Human girl called Seira that’s written here. It seems that she’s a student of the Edius Adventurer School, but do you know anything else?」

「Seiraa?」

Being told that, Rokuna tilted her head with a difficult face.

After having her gaze wander about in the air for a while, Rokuna brought her gaze back to Sancreed.

「Sorry, I don’t remember her at all. Now that you mention it, it does feel like someone like that was there though.」

「……I see.」

With her like this, Rokuna probably really had no interest in her. It didn’t seem like he would learn anything even if he asked Rokuna any more than this.

It would be fine if he just waited until the intelligence operative called Ein, who wrote the report, returned, but he couldn’t help but be bothered by it.

By chance, wouldn’t this young girl possess the key to resolving his own doubts?

Sancreed couldn’t help but feel that way.

Even after continuing and flipping through the pages, accounts regarding the young girl called Seira didn’t appear.

There were awfully a lot of accounts regarding a young man called Kain, who seemed to be a student of the same Adventurer School as Seira, and regarding Summon Magic, but there was absolutely nothing regarding anything else.

「……」

He wouldn’t obtain anymore information than this here.

After determining that, Sancreed closed the book and placed it back on the shelf.

After leaving quietly so that he wouldn’t disturb Rokuna who started groaning in front of the documents for some reason, he ascended the stairs and headed towards Ykslaas’s room on the second floor.

「Ah, Sancreed-sama. Good morning.」

Along the way, Sancreed was called to a stop by a light blue maid.

「Ahh……If I remember correctly……Marin, was it?」

「Yes. Sancreed-sama, is something the matter?」

「Nn……I have a bit of business to take care of, see.」

Marin was one of the three maid girls that Vermudol was said to have created no too long ago. Sancreed had not spoken with her up until now, but he couldn’t help but feel that it would be hard for him to deal with Marin.

By some chance, the cause might be due to him vaguely feeling that Marin had an atmosphere similar to Ichika.
