Just in case, I install a bulky door that leads to the Blue Crystal

Just for appearance, let's put a powerful lock on the door

Since I could set conditions with locking ic, I made a blue sapphire key for it, and put a condition where only the one that held it could go in It should be fine as long as I have the duplicate

I leave this key in the first roo all the work in fifteen minute time after the start of the battle, I stealthily teleported back to the airship

It was just right after the Hydra was defeated, so I directed the airship toward the castle ruin

◇

"Master, completed the removal of debris in front of the barrier, so I report"

As a thanks for Nana who did the labor, I proo to sleep later

The beastkin girls and the Garuda are currently eli in the castle ruin

"The barrier is holding up huh"

"Nn, active"

The barrier that prevents intrusion to the City Core see

I feel that the barrier will be broken if I touch it, so I et close to it

"What should we do? Should we go ahead to check if there's any danger?"

"You can't! Only the viceroy and the next viceroy can enter here"

When I asked Earl Muno, Orion-kun cut hiht Satou-kun There areme with the viceroy's power Orion, you wait here with Satou-kun"

"Fa-father"

"This is an order"

After saying so, Earl Muno walked to the other side of the barrier alone

Orion-kun tried to follow after hio inside

Earl Muno probably used the City Core's poelling in the terminal to enter the barrier

After a while, the crest of Earl Muno flashed on the barrier's surface for an instant

He's probably seized the City Core of this town

We wait for the Earl Muno while cal about the location of the Mithril vein

"Heya, thanks for waiting I have to decide on the proxy--governor of this town"

Earl Muno who came back said so and looked around

"Liza-kun, can I ask you?"

"Me, is it? Isn't it more suitable for Master?"

"I've discussed this with Nina, Satou-kun has to be the lord of the abandoned overnor of this town"

"As I am Master's attendant, I can't do the duties--"

"The actual rule will be entrusted to a chief ad at ive her overnor"

"Is that so! Good Then let's start the cereht away"

It seems there's no need to be close to the City Core to appoint the proxy

Liza's governor appointment ceremony was finished with a sie] cereh

◇

"So this a place for cere here?"

"Found, a key~?"

"Master! There's a stairway here nodesu!"

The beastkin girls found the room that went to the Mithril tunnel, Tama also quickly found the key to the Blue Crystal rooht"

The people who are going to go doith s and Orion-kun, seven of us

Mia and Arisa were interested, but they gave up after hearing about the long stairs

I'll show the video recording to the girls later

"Silver? Isn't this a silver vein!"

The exposed silver vein was glittering halfway through the stairs, the tension of Orion-kun who looked tired went up

"If there's a silver vein, that ht really be a Mithril vein close by!"

The Kobold siblings look happy

Apparently, the two didn't believe about the Blue Crystal htly changes to green color fro here, the Blue Crystal o back to the top i a pickaxe"

I'm sorry for the tho are ecstatic, but they won't find the Blue Crystal noto the docu the pickaxe after we've checked that"

Withus

There's still about 400 s who have run to the lowest layer run back to us

Taether with the below Hand ov--please lend me the key that was found earlier"

The older brother Kobold as speaking in coed to polite speech with a glare from Liza

"That key should be able to open it, desu"

The older brother Kobold's deduction was right, but since I went out of hted reactions, I o with everyone"

When we arrived before the door, Orion-kun as staggering after walking toothat he can'tit!"

The older brother Kobold who took the key look back at us, asking for confiro, it seeave hi sound

"Aniue!"

"Yeah, with this our Bolflos will live on"

While being illu Blue Crystal that spread before their eyes, the Kobold siblings take each other hands, crying full of joy

While still sitting down, Orion-kun's eyes glea

"Pretty~?"

"It's blue like the color of holy swords nanodesu"

Ta eyes that won't lose to the Blue Crystal

That's while both of theh

The older brother gave a lump of Blue Crystal to the little sister and then he knelt down before e eternal allegiance to you"

No no, you should do that to Earl Muno

If you said such a lare at you, you know

"If you want to pledge your loyalty, please do it to Earl Muno"

"But--"

"If he didn't give his peret the Blue Crystal"

"Understood We will follow Sir Pendragon's words"

He somehow looks like he doesn't understand it, but there's no probleiance to Earl Muno

The Kobold siblings went back to the ground while bringing the needed aed their allegiance to Earl Muno

This time it's only ords, but it seems they'll officially be tied to Earl Muno with [Contract] later

After taking the two Muno to Muno City, we brought the Kobold siblings to the abandoned rate to Tagenkouician didn't exist in the et to meet him

His name, [Black Mole] seems to be an alias that's often used, no one knows his real naoya Firenkous and administration facilities should be coenkoumi town

--Should be, or rather I think I'll just er to ots froe of the installation of Mithril refining equiper fully enthusiastic, perhaps I should have told her to take it easy

◇

The Kobold siblings show up bringing tributes the day before we depart

A Blue Steel pike and sword, silverworks, and sapphires, most are jewelries

"Oh my! Hoonderful!"

"It suits you well, Muse"

"Orion-sae sapphire pendant fros him

Orion-kun who didn't expect his fiancee's action is blushing

"Viscount Pendragon, this is the pro』 treasured sword and the secret book that details theprocess of Blue Steel"

"Got it"

I received the sword presented by the little sister Kobold and then gave it back to her

"--Why?"

"The treasured sword should be carried by the one who should have it"

I answered her dissatisfaction while looking at the older brother Kobold

She see, "We will follow our lord's decree"

Like I said, your , we departed while being sent off by the people of Muno Earldo by to the Seryuu city, but since I don't want to deal with Earl Seryuu's unreasonable deroup of countries as planned

The first country is Kiwolk--the kingdom of snow and frost-covered trees

Our first another world winter sports are waiting!
