The core… yes, Tie saw it.

More precisely, she saw Ppuppu being born from the core and lying down inside Tie’s bag.

But he could not confess all of that truthfully.

After clearing her throat, Tie answered hesitantly.

“Well, it was a little hard to fight Krazar inside the subspaaace….”

The situation got markedly better from the moment Lucarion appeared.

“Somehow Tie’s pet, no, summon came out, you see.”

“You called out a familiar inside the subspace?”

“Yeees.”

“Isn’t it impossible to use magic power inside subspace?”

Tie pursed her lips with a start.

‘Ooh. Come to think of it.’

It did seem like he had not been able to use magic power.

But at this point it could not be helped.

Tie rolled her eyes as if saying whatever and replied,

“It worked thooough?”

“What did you say?”

“Tie could use magic poweeer….”

Silence fell over the reception room.

When he lifted his gaze, he saw Reaper and Elanes wearing strange expressions.

Sensing his chance, Tie hurriedly added,

“Elanes and Reaper haven’t gone inside subspace before, right?”

That meant, in effect, ‘You guys haven’t experienced Krazar’s subspace before. If I’ve been there and I’m saying so, what can you do about it?’

Before long Reaper nodded.

“…Well, that’s true.”

Elanes still looked as though she found it strange, but

“Is it possible because it’s a dark attribute?”

she only muttered that and turned her head away.

Having regained courage, Tie continued speaking.

“Anyway, so I got rid of Krazar’s mist and found the core, but then it broke and disappeared.”

“It broke?”

“Yes!”

“And that’s the end?”

“Yup, the end.”

Tie puffed out her chest with all her might.

In her own way, Tie had not told any unnecessary lies.

‘They didn’t ask whether anything came out of the core, right?’

If they had asked, he would have told them about Ppuppu.

But since they had not asked, he passed.

“That’s supposed to be possible…?”

Just as Elanes tilted her head again and again.

“It is possible. Because I saw it myself.”

Someone opened the reception room door and came inside.

The moment Tie confirmed her face, her expression brightened.

“Factory Manager!”

“Yes, Necromancer King. I’ve come.”

Entering with satisfaction, Velugon sat in the seat of honor without hesitation. Then, with bandages wrapped around his forehead, he continued speaking.

“I saw it myself. The Necromancer King shattered the red mist with a magic strike, and Krazar’s core crumbled into powder and vanished.”

Huh?

Tie’s eyes turned round.

“Not only that. The Necromancer King even saved me when I had fallen into that bastard’s delusion.”

“Is that really true?”

“I tell you it is! As the subspace began collapsing, the spatial barrier quickly became visible too. Thanks to the Necromancer King breaking through that, we were able to come outside.”

Tie’s bewildered eyes shook slightly.

‘Eeeh? That’s not right….?’

Parts of what Velugon said were right, but parts were not.

‘The Factory Manager never saw the core break in Tie’s hand.’

Because he had been unconscious when Ppuppu was born.

Tie secretly studied Velugon’s expression.

‘Is she lying to help Tie?’

But given Velugon’s nature, he did not seem like the kind of person who would give false testimony for someone else.

And even though they had shared a little life together inside the subspace, Tie and Velugon were not close enough for that.

‘That’s strange?’

It was while he was wondering that.

Tap tap-

At the small sound from below, Tie flinched and lowered her gaze.

Inside the Hanbit Kindergarten bag.

Before he knew it, Ppuppu had opened the zipper slightly and was tapping the inner wall of the compartment with his trunk.

When their eyes met, Ppuppu put his forepaw in front of his mouth and made a small sound.

“Shiii-”

Holding back the urge for her mouth to fall open, Tie jerkily raised her head.

“Do you lot know how dignified the Necromancer King looked when facing Krazar? He really wasn’t called a great mage for nothing! The Necromancer King braced against the wall and launched a flying kick to the sky, and the height of it was no less than…!”

At this point, it became certain.

“Whack, at Krazar’s mist! Then that shapeless monster writhed greatly and bam, fell to the floor!”

Velugon was not lying. He was truly testifying about what he himself had seen.

The problem was that it had been a delusion made by Ppuppu.

Swallowing hard, Tie carefully closed the bag zipper again.

‘Ppuppu….’

At first he thought he had simply become the mother of a cute baby elephant.

But after the Sanctum of Oblivion, it felt like he had somehow obtained something tremendous in yet another sense.

* * *

“Sometimes when you smelt with the core of a heavyweight monster, there are cases where the relic weapon turns into an empty shell.”

Velugon’s explanation went on for a very long time.

“I’m sorry this has grown long, but it’s been years since my mind was as clear as it is now. To return to what I was saying earlier, when durability usually falls, the core used in the relic weapon….”

Until complete night fell outside, which had been dim.

But whether time passed or not, Velugon showed no sign of stopping.

When Tie, who had been dozing, raised her head, Elanes was resting her chin on one hand and spinning her water glass in circles.

Behind her, Reaper had already risen from his seat and was looking down at the Primordial Furnace through the large window.

“Elanes, do try to concentrate. Didn’t you ask me a little while ago whether I had any carefully prepared weapons? Do you not want the secret relic weapon I made?”

Elanes held back a sigh and shut her eyes slowly.

‘…When in the world is he coming.’

They had already confirmed what needed confirming a long time ago.

They had confirmed that the Factory Manager was fine, more energetic than usual even,

and had even heard that there was a high probability Krazar’s core had been destroyed.

And yet there was only one reason they still could not leave.

‘Valentis Luminen has to come before we can leave this place or not.’

The association’s order had even included ‘deliver a situation report to Grand Commander Luminen, who was dispatched representing the imperial family.’

In other words, the summons order would only end after they met him and briefed him on all the information they had obtained so far.

‘We suffered like dogs all day, and now we can’t just leave either.’

“Necromancer King. You know, don’t you, just how much passion I have for making relic weapons.”

At that moment Velugon’s target shifted to the Necromancer King.

The dozing Necromancer King wiped at the corner of her mouth, then nodded with what was, in its own way, sincerity.

“Yeees!”

“You know it too, don’t you, from the many times you honed your magic strike, how much effort it takes to produce one thing with a high degree of completion!”

“Yeees.”

“So….”

Elanes whispered to Reaper, who had returned to his seat.

“I take back what I said in the daytime.”

Reaper looked at her as if to ask what.

Elanes’s eyes shone blue as she added,

“I take back what I said about Tesetan being an idiot who doesn’t know how to flatter the association. That bastard was right. We’re the stupid ones.”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden.”

“Grand Commander Luminen. Why in the world is he taking so long? The association definitely said he’d come by teleportation circle.”

At this point in time, there was no means of travel faster than a teleportation circle in the Empire.

“A few seconds to start it. A few seconds to activate. A few seconds to stabilize. Right now it shouldn’t take even one minute….”

Hoo, drawing in a breath, Elanes said,

“I can’t wait any longer.”

With a deeply sour expression, she stood up from her seat.

“If the association has any decency, they’ll compensate us properly. I’m leaving first, so wrap things up yourselves….”

But at that moment the reception room door opened.

“My apologies. I actually arrived some time ago, but things were delayed, so I came late.”

A tall knight was standing in front of the open door.

The moment she appeared, Tie slowly turned her head at the changed air in the room.

Then the child’s eyes, heavy with sleep a moment ago, blinked and opened wide.

“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting so long.”

He looked alike.

“Then let’s begin quickly and end quickly.”

Grand Commander Luminen, said to hold the highest rank among the Empire’s holy knights.

Valentis Luminen, whom Tie had perhaps longed to meet day and night,

Tie swallowed hard.

‘…He looks a whole whole lot like Dad!’
