That’s a Mythical Magic, Right?

“Zeta-oneechan.” (Leon)

“!? Leon!? Why are you here…!?” (Zeta)

It was located underground in the royal palace. It was a much more well-equipped and splendid workshop than Zeta’s own. However, it was under strict surveillance, and the blacksmith craftsmen were forced to live here all day and night without being able to go outside. It was like a prison.

“I came to rescue you.” (Leon)

“H-hey, what about the guards…?” (Zeta)

“It’s fine. They are asleep.” (Leon)

It seemed that food was properly provided, so she was not losing weight. However, being confined in such a place had made her look a bit worn out.

“Ugh…” (Zeta)

“Zeta-oneechan? Are you crying?” (Leon)

“I-I’m not crying! I’m not crying or anything! It’s your fault anyway!?” (Zeta)

“My fault?” (Leon)

“Since I was forced to make Adamantite weapons, my blacksmith skill increased abnormally! Thanks to that, the royal palace took notice of me, and I’ve been forced to work hard here every day!” (Zeta)

That was true, Zeta had been forced to engage in the production of weapons here. Not only her, but because a large number of high-performance weapons were needed for the war, skilled blacksmith craftsmen from all over the country were summoned. No wonder Zeta could not be found when searching the royal capital.

“…Is that my fault?” (Leon)

Although it was hard to accept, there was no point in arguing here.

“In any case, I came to rescue you like this, so it’s fine. Now, let’s return to oneechan’s workshop in Badacca.” (Leon)

“H-hey, what are you doing?” (Zeta)

Leon suddenly started drawing a magic circle on the ground, and Zeta frowned suspiciously.

“I’m going to use teleportation magic.” (Leon)

“Huh?” (Zeta)

The next moment, their figures vanished from that place.

“Yeah, it worked.” (Leon)

“!? ” (Zeta)

Suddenly, the scenery around changed, and it was a familiar place to Zeta.

“My workshop…!?” (Zeta)

“That’s right.” (Leon)

“It’s several days away by carriage from the royal capital!?” (Zeta)

“That’s why I used teleportation magic.” (Leon)

“That’s mythical magic, isn’t it!?” (Zeta)

Zeta let out a deep sigh.

“You’re as reckless as ever…” (Zeta)

“The war seems likely to be canceled, so probably I won’t be forcibly taken away again. But if anything happens, tell me. I’ll leave this with you.” (Leon)

Leon placed Sura’s clone on the workbench.

“A slime? Was it this small?” (Zeta)

“It’s a part separated from the main body. If you talk to this one, it will communicate with me, and I think I can come immediately.” (Leon)

“…I don’t understand what you’re saying at all.” (Zeta)

‘Nice to meet you~’ (Sura’s clone)

Sura’s clone waved its tentacles to greet, but Zeta could not read its intent. Of course, she did not even know that her workshop was marked as the teleportation destination.

“Oh, right. One more thing.” (Leon)

“…Do you still have something else?” (Zeta)

Leon took out a sword with its blade missing from the item box.

“Could you forge a new one for this?” (Leon)

“How did an Adamantite sword end up like this!?” (Zeta)

Leon returned to the royal capital. When he went to the Adventurer Guild with the twins, Silue suddenly rushed up to him.

“Ah, Leon-kun!” (Silue)

“What’s wrong, Oneechan?” (Leon)

“Oh! So, you’re Leon! We’ve been looking for you!” (??)

At that moment, another man with a strong build approached.

“…Who?” (Leon)

“I’m Borus! I’m the guild master of the adventurer’s guild in Badacca!” (Borus)

“Badacca’s?” (Leon)

Badacca was the town where Zeta’s workshop was, and Leon had just returned there not long ago. He would have to go again to pick up the completed sword. Leon tilted his head, wondering why the guild master of Badacca would have business with him.

“You are the rookie adventurer who cleared the dungeon ‘Rock Cave Corridor,’ right?” (Borus)

Borus questioned with an intense expression.

“…I-I don’t know anything about that.” (Leon)

“Don’t play dumb! We have evidence!” (Borus)

“Even if you say that… Maybe you are confusing me with someone else…” (Leon)

Just as Leon was trying to evade, someone calling him ran from the other side.

“Leon-kun!” (??)

He recognized the person running toward him.

A red-haired beauty, Henriette, an A-rank adventurer. Behind her were Kanae and Tina as well.

“We finally found you! Why is it said that I defeated the Vampire Lord!? You are the one who defeated the Vampire Lord and saved Libert!” (Henriette)

“W-what are you talking about~…?” (Leon)

Leon averted his gaze in a completely different direction, pretending innocence. Borus shouted.

“Huh? Isn’t that A-rank adventurer Henriette!? I also heard the rumor that she defeated the Vampire Lord… But could it be that you actually defeated him!?” (Borus)

“Ah… um…” (Leon)

“Yes, that’s right! I saw with my own eyes Leon-kun overwhelmingly defeat the Vampire Lord! There’s no mistake!” (Henriette)

Henriette’s claim caused a stir throughout the guild.

“That kid defeated the Vampire Lord…?” (??)

“Isn’t he the one who beat S-rank Lancelot in the orc hunt?” (??)

“Look, those twins nearby are beastkin who were incredibly strong in the martial arts tournament.” (??)

Leon desperately thought about how to get out of this situation. Then, an even more troublesome person burst in.

“I have found you! Hero Leon!” (Meltera)

“Ugh.” (Leon)

It was the elf Meltera.

“Don’t think you can escape from me, Hero Leon!” (Meltera)

She glared at him with eyes full of resentment.

“H-hey, didn’t you just call me Hero Leon?” (??)

“Yeah, that’s what I heard too…” (??)

“Could it be it’s true…?” (??)

(Stop calling me that!) (Leon)

Leon pleaded in his mind, but Meltera was not about to be considerate.

“Hey, come here for a bit!” (Leon)

“Nngh!?” (Meltera)

Leon quickly closed the distance, grabbed Meltera like luggage, and ran out of the guild.

“Ah, Leon-kun!” (Silue)

“Are you trying to run away!?” (??)

He heard voices like that but ignored them. He hid in an alley and finally stopped. He tossed Meltera aside.

“Ow… Could you be a little gentler with girls!” (Meltera)

“More importantly, don’t ever call me ‘Hero Leon’ in public.” (Leon)

“Eek!” (Meltera)

When Leon glared at her with murderous intent, Meltera tensed for a moment but then…

“Hehehe, I see, I see.” (Meltera)

She let out an eerie laugh as if she understood something.

“What should I do~? I might accidentally slip and spread it around everywhere~.” (Meltera)

“This one…” (Leon)

“But if you listen to one thing I say, I might keep my mouth shut~.” (Meltera)

“…What do you want me to do?” (Leon)

Leon asked with a sigh. Then, Meltera, who looked somehow a bit shy and fidgeted, said it.

“…W-will you let me join your party?” (Meltera)
