Chapter 21.7 (1/2)

Epilogue 1.3

Makoto trained with the long sword until he mastered the highest-class skills, since according to the adjacent law of nature longsword has strong skills and well-balanced in a lot of status. But, with the limit on the weapon’s performance that can’t be crossed, he changes into ōdachi with superior firepower.

「Then, isn’t it better for ya to make katana?」

「Nn~, I can’t say it for sure right now. It’s been two years since I last used a katana.」

「If there are materials for that, then I’ll try makin’ ōdachi and katana. If it’s better for you to use katana, then I can just give the ōdachi to Yuu. 」

「Before that, please make your own weapon.」

Makoto reminds Hiroshi who is about to do unnecessary things with unfeeling voice.

「By the way, what about the technique you used that time? Can you use it? 」

「The name that came to my mind for that technique is Titanic Roar. It might be useful, but it’s too early for me to judge it for now.」

「Haa?」

「I know how to use it, but I dunno how to activate it……」

The day after Hiroshi woke up, he borrowed a spare pole ax and tried to activate it over and over again, but no matter what he did, he cannot reproduce the same feeling like when he activated it last time. There is no doubt that there are something that is missing, like how his condition right now is not exhausted at all. It looks like even though he got the procedure right, he can’t use it without fulfilling a certain condition.

「Maybe, there are somethin’ missin’.」

「I see. It’s not that easy to use as I expected, huh……」

「Ya can say it like that.」

Indeed, it seems like Hiroshi’s battle ability won’t just improve that easily.

「Well, let’s just put that super great firepower thing aside for now. I’m already quite hungry, so let’s eat for now, yeah?」

「Ah, right. Then let’s make dinner.」

「What is the menu for today?」

「How about shoyu ramen with Wyvern soup as the base and gyoza?」

They answered to Haruna’s proposal with faces full of smiles.

「Then, since we are going to leave this country after winter is over, let’s decide our clear purpose and route for now」

After enjoying the ramen, Haruna proposed eating the sweet potato tofu as dessert. By the way, let’s not think too much about the ingredients used to make the tofu.

「You’re right. This place is quite different from the Grand Quest we are familiar with. I think it’s better for us to forget the information and common sense in the game.」

「Is that so?」

「Yeah. at least in the middle of the second chapter, there should be no serious trouble in any country.」

「There are also none towards the middle of chapter four. And then, at that point in time, the evil gods in the religious organization are just supporting roles, and they also don’t have any direct connection to the story.」

After hearing Tatsuya and Makoto’s explanation, they can’t help but raise their voice.

「Honestly, even if the current situation is in the story of Grand Quest, I have no idea where we are right now.」

「Well, we are also missing the information from the middle of the fourth chapter, so we should just ignore that information.」

「If that’ true, is there something that brother specifically thinks about?」

「First of all, we should aim for Rufeus to gather information.」

Everyone immediately understand the meaning of Tatsuya’s proposal and nod their head.

「They have big library, yeah?」

「Yes, and if we can enter the forbidden section of the library, I feel like we can advance considerably.」

「I’m not blaming anyone, but it will be a drawback to pick up something unnecessary again, okay?」

Haruna turns her gaze around after hearing Tatsuya’s retorts.

“If that’s only the reason, there’s no accomplishment.”

Leaving aside Haruna who is still gazing around nervously, Mio indifferently points out something unusual.

“Yeah, if we just go to Rupheus directly, it’s pretty pointless.”

“To just pass through other countries in vain, there will certainly be no accomplishment.”

Tatsuya and Shingo agree with Mio’s argument. Haruna who stops listening for a while then suddenly proposes something she just think of.

“If so, then let’s just pass around all the temples at the countries and regions that we pass through.”

“And the reason is?”

“I’m sure of it this time. This god must have something to do with this problem.”
