An ordinary profession creates the world's strongest

Does it prevent interference from otherworldly magic? Or does it simply deflect Esid's power? Or does it simply hinder summoning magic?

Although he planned to take Myuu and Remia with him, he couldn't bear to prevent them from ever returning to their birthplace.

I also hope to prevent Shia and Tio from never seeing their family again.

If that's the case, then it can't be a concept that hinders movement between different worlds—and so on and so forth.

"So I need to try a few more times. I hope to finish it while I'm going to pick up Myuu or Tio and bring them back home... but I can't guarantee that I can do it."

Hajime scratched his head and said this. But to be honest, these were just minor issues in the eyes of Kaori and the others.

“Even so, just the fact that I was able to go back… is truly… amazing. Ugh…! Hajime-kun. Thank you…”

The joyful atmosphere suddenly changed, and a strong feeling of emotion welled up in her heart. Kaori held Hajime's hand tightly with tears in her eyes.

That "thank you" seemed to be filled with a myriad of thoughts, just like Hajime's before.

Maybe it’s because I saw that video.

Thank you for living; thank you for not giving up; thank you for rushing to save me from danger; thank you for thinking about me time and time again. And thank you for now having found a way to return home.

Hajime scratched his cheek with the hand that wasn't being held, hesitated for a moment, and then gently hugged Kaori back.

Kaori's almond-shaped eyes widened for a moment, surprise showing on her face, but then she hugged Hajime tightly with a smile on her face and rubbed her face against Hajime's chest.

Yueya shrugged and said, "Forget it, I'll forgive you this time." Then he gently patted the shoulder of Kaori who was acting coquettishly towards Hajime.

Meanwhile, Shizuku gazed at Kaori with a hint of envy, but after glancing at Kouki, she shook her head and turned her gaze towards Kaori to one that held a hint of amusement. Honestly, Shizuku also wanted to act coquettishly towards Hajime, but worried that Kouki's mental state might destabilize, she decided not to.

However, she had just made up her mind to be honest with herself, even considering the situation. So, to live up to her resolve, Shizuku planned to secretly flirt with Hajime later. Although she didn't know if she could overcome her shame and flirt with Hajime to her heart's content...but she had to at least hold hands! Shizuku set a small goal in her mind.

Although Shizuku has bravely kissed someone on the cheek before, she is still very green and naive in normal times.

Although he could vaguely sense Shizuku's thoughts from her eyes, which were filled with cute ambition, Hajime ignored it and began to talk about his future plans.

"Anyway, regarding our next plan, let's go pick up Myuu and the others on the Fornil while we craft the artifact to prevent summons."

The reason why Hajime chose to use the airship for transportation was because of the magic power consumption.

After that, it is necessary to create a concept to prevent summoning and open a space gate to the earth, both of which will consume an extraordinary amount of magic power.

Especially when creating the space gate leading to the earth, the consumption of magic power is so huge that even if all of Shi's magic power is used, it is far from enough. At least four to five times the magic power in Shi's body is needed to do it.

As for using a portal key that uses less magic than a crystal key to transfer space, since that was developed during the stay in the royal capital, there is no portal opening in the [Maritime City of Enison] as the starting point, so it cannot be used.

"In that case, during that time, Suzu and I will be heading to the demon territory. After all, it's a rare opportunity to obtain magic from the Age of Gods, so if possible, we'd like to capture a few powerful monsters and bring them back, but..."

It is indeed possible to do so, but the problem is that even if the monsters in the [Ice and Snow Cave] are tamed, it is unknown how much use they can be of in the demon territory.

The monsters within the Great Labyrinth possess far greater abilities than those outside. However, all of the monsters here are frost-type. Putting aside the extreme cold, where fire attributes are nearly ineffective, these monsters would easily be exploited in other locations, and it's impossible to expect them to utilize the regenerative power of the surrounding ice and snow.

"Hmm..." Ling pondered. Hajime, seeing this, fell into deep thought as well. After a moment, he casually tossed a door key to Ling. Ling hurriedly caught it, tilting her head in confusion.

"Light and I need to rest for a while until our magic power is fully restored. That Portkey connects to the gate in Fjallbergen. How about we capture the monsters in the Sea of ​​Trees while we rest? There are many monsters there that are skilled at manipulating auras. I think capturing and strengthening them would be quite useful, right?"

"That makes sense... Well, Suzu will give it a try. Thank you, Nagumo-kun!"

Ling smiled happily. Hajime waved his hand at her, indicating that it was nothing.

Finally, Suzu, Ryuutarou, Shizuku, Kouki, and Kaori, who accompanied Suzu out of concern for the others, decided to head to the Hartrina Sea of ​​Trees while Hajime and Yue recovered from the fatigue they incurred when creating their concept magic. Kouki would go along, ostensibly to help, but in reality, she probably simply couldn't bear to stay in the same space with Hajime.

Because Ling and her group were about to leave, the living room suddenly became deserted.

Besides Hajime and Yue, Shia and Tio also stayed...

In Tio's case, it would be more meaningful to try to use magic to become more proficient in "Dragonization" rather than taming monsters.

As for Shia's situation, her aptitude for transformation magic was as pathetically low as Hajime's, and given the strain on her parent-child relationship and the friendships she had recently made, she decided it would be best to wait for a while before meeting again. If they met now, Shia might impulsively "smash" both of them together, reducing them to a pool of blood.

After Ling and the others left, Hajime and the others spent some leisure time.

Hajime sat deeply on the sofa, his expression more peaceful than ever before, as if he was basking in the spring sunshine, enjoying a sunbath, emitting a gentle aura.

Having obtained the means to return home—it was precisely because of this that Hajime felt relieved.

After all, after a long and rigorous journey, it is certainly relaxing to finally achieve a goal.

Having said that, when they were discussing the content of the trial again, Tio finished her own trial and shouted, "Please punish me!" Then she rushed towards Hajime. Instead of using finger snaps as usual, Hajime caught her and patted her back gently, shocking everyone.

It was Tio who was the most surprised of all the people present. She was so shocked that she went limp while hugging Hajime, becoming shy and coy. It wasn't until Shia retorted, "Miss Tio, you've forgotten your identity (pervert)!" that Tio finally came to her senses.

"Hmm, Hmm, Master is so gentle... I thought being hurt was the ultimate enjoyment, but it feels good like this. I feel very happy. Although it's also embarrassing."

"Miss Tio, if you were normally like this, you'd be an impeccably charming woman..."

“…Hmm. After all, Hajime should take the responsibility.”

Tio blushed, looking sheepish for some reason, and sat upright on the sofa. Seeing this, Shia and Yue both smiled wryly and whispered.

Hearing Yue's words, Hajime couldn't help but smile bitterly.

“However, at this point, if Tio calls another man “Master”, I would also feel uncomfortable…”

"Oh, oh? Master. What does that mean... Could it be that I'm the same as Shia..."

Tio's eyes sparkled with anticipation!

Hajime said with a serious expression:

"Think about it, if a clingy dog ​​suddenly changes its attitude and starts wagging its tail at other people, wouldn't it feel irritated?"

"Hmm!? The master unexpectedly took out a whip at this moment!? He actually doted on me thoroughly first, and then beat me down in one go! This stinky beloved master!"

Benlong hugged Shi again, rubbing his face against Shi's chest. Shi accepted it all as if nothing had happened.

Yue and Xia both thought at the same time: They are both the same.

After this stupid thing went on for half a day—

A space portal appeared in the living room. Ling and her group returned.

Behind them, a long line of large tigers, wolves, snakes, and other monsters of higher rank in the forest stood in formation. It looked like they had been successfully subdued without incident.

Afterwards, Ling and the others spent another half day resting and strengthening their demons.

The demon took the convenient measure of wearing a collar made in the beginning—a sacred artifact equipped with a doorway—and usually let it roam freely in the forest, summoning it when necessary.

"Well, it's almost time to leave."

Ling and her group, who were well prepared, took the lead, and everyone nodded firmly.

"Ah, right. Hajime-san, this is for you."

As they left the palace, Shia handed Hajime a necklace that resembled a water drop.

It was a transparent, cyan-colored stone, like ice, with the crest of Bandu Schnee engraved within. It was a guide to the Great Labyrinth, the Ice Cave. This necklace had appeared when a portion of the room's wall melted during Hajime and Yue's fainting spell. Shia had seen it and put it away.

After Hajime took the necklace, he stepped into the magic circle in front of the palace entrance.

Then, with a crackling sound, the spring water in front of the palace froze all at once, and then bulged up, forming a huge egg-shaped ice block that was ten meters high in the blink of an eye.

Then, the ice egg burst and shattered.

From within, a dragon made of ice emerged. It radiated a translucent, crystal-like sheen, a truly majestic sight.

Hajime and the others sighed in unison. The ice dragon lowered its head toward Hajime's feet, using its long neck as a ramp. It seemed that riding this ice dragon out would be a shortcut to the Ice Cave.

"This is truly a fantastic shortcut."

"...Hmm. Is this a reward?"

"Compared to the complexities of the trial, this is a truly thoughtful design that stands in stark contrast."

They each expressed their feelings, then simultaneously climbed up the ice dragon's neck, its scales like a staircase, and sat on its back. Then, the ice dragon flapped its wings and soared into the air with one breath.

The ice wall on the ceiling instantly approached his eyes, and just before the collision, it melted and a hole appeared, forming a cylindrical passage.

The ice dragon rushed into the passage without slowing down.

Everyone flew through the ice tunnel for more than ten seconds, enjoying the rustling of the wind and the cool breeze brushing against their skin, as well as someone's foolish words: "I am the only dragon that can be ridden by my master... Can't we exchange it now?"

The ice dragon carrying Hajime and his group rushed towards the light on the surface that they finally saw.

At first, they thought they would land on the ground, but the ice dragon showed no signs of stopping and continued to fly into the sky.

Then, it rushed into the dark clouds of [Xuni Snowfield], flew up into the sky with a pop, and flew gracefully above the sea of ​​clouds illuminated by the bright sun.

"Judging from the position of the sun, the ice dragon is heading northwest... It seems like it's thoughtfully escorting us to the edge of the snowfield."

"...Hmm. Meredy and Mel should follow Bandu's example."

"I think the female liberators are more vicious."

To the west of the snowy plains lies the territory of the demon kingdom, Demon Kingdom Galant, and to the north lies the Raisen Grand Canyon. The dragon's northwestward trajectory suggests it will land somewhere convenient for either the demon territory or the northern continent. Furthermore, the near-invisible chill of the air overhead suggests Bandu has likely established a simple barrier, using the ice dragon as a medium.

This thoughtful design is a far cry from the shortcuts of some female liberators who used imitation flush toilets to flush people into sewers or brought in seawater to throw people into the sea like torpedoes.

Even without talking about shortcuts, the liberator of the sea of ​​trees is a cruel woman who arranges for people to get close to cockroaches.

In comparison, the ice dragon seems to be such a friendly and tear-jerking design!

Mr. Bandu’s kindness is truly touching!

At the same time, when I think about how the male liberators in the past must have suffered because of the various things they caused, I can't help but shed a tear of sympathy for them!

“I feel like Nagumo-san and the others are showing expressions I’ve never seen before…”

"I don't know about Miss Meredith, but the Melkines Undersea Ruins were really bad at the end..."

While Ling and Kaori were discussing this, they seemed to be nearing their destination. The ice dragon slowly began to descend. Perhaps because it couldn't leave the snowfield, it seemed the ice dragon wouldn't fly above the dark clouds that perpetually covered the Shuuni Snowfield and carry them beyond the border.

The ice dragon rushed into the dark clouds again, advanced a little in the wind and snow, and then landed gently very close to the boundary between the outside world and the snowfield.

"Thank you. The Bandu Schoni who created you must have been quite a good fellow."

"He's definitely different from Meredith. He's a man with a conscience!"

"...Yeah. Thank you. It's great that Bandu doesn't look like Meredith or Mel."

Hajime, Shia, and Yue couldn't help but politely thank the ice dragon and offer their consolation.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but for a moment, the ice dragon's crystal-like eyes flashed with a look that said, "Of course! Don't lump me in with those guys!" Finally, the ice dragon wagged its tail with a hint of joy before flying off into the depths of the snowfield and disappearing into the wind and snow.

Although the snow that obscured their vision was annoying, the edge of the snowfield was already within reach, so Hajime and his group could only quicken their pace... However, Hajime and Shia suddenly stopped.

"Everyone, be on alert. There are many things outside the perimeter."

"I sense a very familiar presence. There are so many of them, it feels like something's wrong."

After Hajime and Shia gave their warning, everyone felt a wave of tension.

Everyone picked up their weapons and prepared for war.

They looked at each other and nodded, then stepped out towards the other side of the wind and snow that blocked their view.

There is...

"So, you came out from here after all? Just like me back then... So, did everyone succeed in the attack, white-haired boy?"

"Hehe, it's been a while, Guanghui-san. How are you?"

The Demon Kingdom's general, Fried Bagoa, and his dragon, the white dragon Uranus.

Hundreds of flying monsters, mainly dragons.

Eri let her gray hair flow in the wind and spread her shining gray wings.

And, a Valkyrie with silver hair and wings who looks identical to her—the Apostle of God.

There are as many as five hundred apostles of God.

An overwhelming force covering the sky awaits Hajime and the others.

"Hashi~ hurry downstairs~"

I heard my mother calling from downstairs.

Hajime glanced at the clock in the room. It showed 6:30 p.m. It seemed to be dinner time.

Even so, I'm currently locked in a fierce battle with the Demon King's generals and can't get away.

"If it's during a battle, there's nothing we can do."

As expected of my mother, she seemed to have guessed what I was doing.

Her mother, Sumire Nanyun, is a popular shojo manga artist and a die-hard otaku. She is definitely more understanding than other parents in this regard.
