An ordinary profession creates the world's strongest

"Stop calling my scarf meaningless, you useless glasses!"

"You should understand the ingenuity of my glasses!"

Over the past month, they've argued countless times over the same thing, leaving the other members wanting to complain, "You two have such a great relationship!" But the two of them ignored everyone's gazes, flowing like water to its lowest point, naturally challenging each other. "Huh? Wanna fight? Come on!" "Oh? Come on, if you want to! Who's afraid of who!"

Oscar's glasses seemed to be in combat readiness and began to glow. Bandu's surroundings began to be frozen by the cold, and his scarf began to twist!

A little further away, other problems were also occurring.

"...Hey, Dilan. When you regain your composure, you'll be so ashamed you'll want to die. I know, this is called a black history, right?"

Ruth, who is like a brother to Oscar and also aspires to become an alchemist, looks at Dilran standing beside her with a helpless look.

Katie and Dylan, victims of the "Divine Weapon Creation Project," were comatose for a long time. Thanks to Mel's regeneration magic, they finally regained consciousness. However, because their souls were also affected, they were unable to fully recover and remained in a state of mental deprivation. For now, they can only follow verbal instructions and barely manage to carry out daily activities.

Moreover, it seems that this neither-good-nor-bad state has brought about disadvantages... The two of them revealed all their unconscious desires that they would not normally express.

Although Katie loves her brother, she's not very forthright and doesn't often show her affection directly. However, in the past month, she's been flirting with Oscar, and the usually serious and gentlemanly Dilraba has revealed a sultry and lustful side.

Sister Mei'er's breasts, filled with the dreams and hopes of a teenager, swayed majestically as she danced. Dilan stared at them intently.

Marshall touched Dilan's head with his palm.

"Hahaha, of course a man would watch it! Ruth, don't hold back, how about enjoying it?"

The dark ape-man Ivy and Marshall's apprentice Tony also had sunny expressions on their faces, admiring the twin peaks and tempting the ten-year-old boy onto the evil path.

"It's not good for your health to be patient, Ruth. Don't be shy. Just treat it like you're admiring a work of art."

"Since Mei-sama is so open about it, and seems to be letting you see whatever you want, I don't think you need to be polite, right? On the contrary, it would be rude not to look."

Ruth looked tired and said, "The adults around me are all like this...", showing his mature side. Ruth, who considers himself a gentleman, did not waver!

However, someone behind him was mentally traumatized and greatly shaken.

"Mr. Marshall likes Miss Mei's breasts..."

Marshall, Ruth and others couldn't help but look back suddenly.

The owner of the gloomy voice was Michaela, who looked very depressed.

"Wow, that's true... a voyeuristic pervert like me is just disgusting. If I had to choose, I'd definitely choose someone like Miss Mei... Wow."

"Hey~! Stop crying, Mikaela! I don't care!"

In fact, Michaela was discovered not long ago. She abused the inherent magic "Soul Eye" that can transcend space and peek into any place to spy on Marshall's private life.

The matter was covered up because of the news from Bart, but when she thought of what she had done, she began to dig her own grave.

"So, Mikaela-sama likes the captain."

Michaela blushed deeply at Ruth's innocent words of confirmation and covered her face with her hands.

It seems to be correct.

The former members of the Laisin branch were half suddenly enlightened, half just watching the spectacle unfold. The non-combatants—especially the female members—had probably known this for a long time, and they all seemed to be hoping to finally speak out.

Marshall seemed to be interested in her, his cheeks flushing slightly as he turned his head away. Marshall had tasted the sweet and sour taste of love, acting like a young lover. But who would want to see a man over 40 in that state? The male members gave him a cold look.

At this moment, the sound of a flash light suddenly rang out.

"Hey, Meredith, why are you wearing glasses? Are those the magical glasses Oscar made for you?"

"Of course... it's for taking pictures!"

"Why are you taking pictures!? Oh, Bart? You want to show it to Bart, right?!"

"A single friend is finally finding a partner... Bart will surely cry out in joy for you!"

"Are you a ghost?! No! This is going to get messy! Give me those glasses!"

Meredith screamed and ran after Marshall.

The attacks and defenses of the beautiful sisters have pushed Natsu into a corner. The female members, led by Mel, have become the sisters' cheerleaders. Oscar and Bandu argue, Dilraba is captivated by the allure of big breasts, Katie still clings to Oscar, and Ruth and Colleen offer their counsel...

The previous serious atmosphere had disappeared. Although they were about to set off, the scene was in chaos.

"Oh, there's really nothing we can do about these kids. Miss Margaret, could you please stop them?"

"Yes, yes, as you say, Miss Maureen."

At the request of "everyone's mother," Maureen, the hardworking and serious female warrior captain, Margaret, was slightly confused, but then her face turned into a fierce expression.

Then, she turned to look at the clan behind her, whose faces showed subtle expressions, and gave an order in a dignified tone:

"Guys! This is Miss Maureen's order! Calm down the situation... er~ restore the atmosphere to what it was before we set out!"

“““““Oh, oh~””””””

"Bartram! Capture Bandu-sama! Kuo, take care of Oscar-san! Alright, let's get started!"

The Schunis split up and acted independently. Because most of them were dedicated and talented, the suppression was swift. Meredith and the others collapsed in the square, while Maureen, the Schuni's mother, smiled an inexplicably oppressive smile behind them.

"How long are you going to play? Go get to work!"

After being reprimanded, Meredith and the others replied, "Yes, I'm sorry," and then ran out of the square.

He is still so frivolous even when he is about to set off.

Then on the third day, when the sun had just passed the zenith.

Miredi, Niz, Mei'er and the others have arrived in the sky more than ten kilometers away from [Agris, the capital of the Odion Federation, the State of Anguliv, the Prime Minister].

"Is that... the sea of ​​white trees?"

"It's probably still quite far away, right? Even onee-sama was surprised..."

Natsu and Mei's mouths dropped open in surprise. Ahead of them lay a massive mountain, swirling with thick fog like a gigantic cumulonimbus cloud.

The mountain was over a thousand meters tall, and with the foggy mountain at its center, a sea of ​​pure white clouds spread out endlessly. The green forest we had seen from the road was completely invisible, and not only that, the boundary between the forest and the plain was indistinguishable.

This was the "Great White Sea of ​​Trees during Wartime." Both Natsu and Mei were stunned by its grandeur and magnificence.

"Fufu... This is my first time seeing this too... But it's okay. Since there's a fog barrier thick enough to cover a large tree, it's proof that the Republic is still resisting... Fufu."

Meredith gasped, her face pale. Even so, she smiled with a genuine sense of relief.

Meredy used gravity magic to levitate Natsu and Mel, carrying them for hundreds of kilometers. Her magic power was nearly depleted. The same was true for Natsu, who continued to move, and Mel, who continued to heal them. Nevertheless, this arduous journey was finally coming to an end.

"Miledi, is it okay to move to the south side of that city?"

Natsu's gaze left the forest and turned to the distant Agris. The army was arrayed on the east side of the city, and even from a distance, the tension that enveloped the city was palpable.

"Okay, since this is wartime, entry and exit to the city will be strictly controlled. If I want to enter, I think I'll have to use a transfer. Xiaonai, can you do that?"

"Wait me a moment."

Natsu pulled out a pair of glasses from his pocket. They were specially made for Natsu by Oscar. Perhaps because of Bandu's teasing, Oscar had recently been focusing on teaching about glasses. Unfortunately, because it was so convenient, he couldn't refuse.

"Entry and exit are indeed being checked, and it seems quite strict. As for the barrier... it doesn't seem to be strong enough to prevent space magic... but it can be moved to the roof of the building."

Natsu used the magic sensor function of his glasses to confirm the presence of the barrier, and found that it seemed to only sense intrusions. If it was a transfer beyond space, there shouldn't be any problems. Furthermore, since the telescope function allowed him to clearly see the transfer location, if it was a transfer of more than ten kilometers, the remaining magic power should be enough to transfer it.

Miledi gave a thumbs-up and said, "As expected of Xiaonai! I'm counting on you!"

Then, the three people's perspective changed and they were already on the roof of the building.

Because the building was close to the city's outer wall, I was within easy reach of the guards on the wall. Fortunately, the guards were looking outward, so I wasn't noticed, but I was still a little startled.

"Hoohoo, is there anyone in the alley?"

Natsu asked breathlessly, and Mei moved to the other side of the roof to check the situation below.

"No problem, there's no one here."

"Xiao Nai, you take a rest. If you're just going down, leave it to me."

Meredith supported Natsu and staggered to the other side.

Then, the guard on the outer wall turned around... In an instant, the three of them had jumped down together, so they were not seen.

To be on guard against possible pursuit by soldiers or Knights Templar, they held their breath and hid for a while.

One minute passed, two minutes passed...

Nothing happened, and it seemed their intrusion had not been discovered.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief and finally felt relieved.

After a period of breathing exercises, Meredith left the wall she was leaning against.

"Kanagi, could you please bring your sword? This branch is a weapons shop, so it would be more natural to carry a sword. Come this way."

Meredith walked onto the main road with a nonchalant expression. Nizu retrieved her hyperbolic swords from the treasure chest and fastened them to the belts on either side of her waist. Mel rechecked her usual accordion blades, and the two of them followed Meredith.

"There aren't many people walking around..."

"That's surprising. I thought if this was a war led by the Kingdom of God, the people would be more excited when it was chosen as a base..."

While there were still some people on the street, the crowds were far too sparse for a capital city. The faces of the passersby were gloomy, many with their heads lowered, walking quickly, paying no attention to Milady and the others.

A gloomy atmosphere spread throughout the city, as if the city was holding its breath.

"...Perhaps the Federation is being forced to fight a difficult war, and the Republic's warriors may be stronger than expected."

Barth's summons contained no details of the situation, other than the fact that war had begun and that help was needed.

He might have been wary of the letter being snatched en route. After all, this was a war officially launched by the Kingdom of God, and by the time the declaration of war was issued, a tight network of intelligence controls had likely been in place.

That being said, it's a bit puzzling that there's no meeting place listed. That's why Meredy and the others came to this city where the "Angulif Branch" is located.

Meredith thought that since Bart had sent a letter, he must have visited the branch at least once. So, he might have been waiting for Meredith and the others there, or at least left a message.

They walked on the street for a while, observing the situation.

Soon, we came upon a grand, three-story building, seemingly the residence of a distinguished noble. A large iron sign on the wall bore the image of crossed swords on armor and the words "Almeida Weapon Shop."

"There are a lot of people..."

"Adventurers... no, mercenaries, right?"

"Sister Mei is right. I think the adventurer has probably fled to another country."

The three of them felt troubled and stopped.

The Almeida Arms Shop is also a branch of the Liberator. Even in the capital of this military power, this shop is one of the most popular large-scale trading houses.

No one would have guessed that it was the headquarters of a rival organization to the Church... With this in mind, they diligently maintained their business, keeping the shop thriving to this day. Now, due to wartime needs, it has become a haven for mercenaries seeking to earn a living. Perhaps the shop was full, as the line stretched outside.

To be honest, no one wanted to get into that group of ruffians filled with murderous intent because of the queue. After all, no matter how they looked at each other, Miledy and Mel didn't look like the kind of customers who would patronize a weapons store. It was foreseeable that disputes would definitely arise.

So the three of them dodged and hid in the alley.

"A good friend in times of trouble~Ao Glasses~"

Meredy put on her special red-framed glasses and used the perspective of her Soul Eye to peer into the store.

"Oscar's glasses are really evolving."

"However, Xiao Mi doesn't agree with this ability of clairvoyance. Ao definitely succumbed to desire and peeked at Xiao Mi's indescribable appearance!"

"Yeah, Oscar is quite reserved."

Natsu looked far to the south. As a boy himself, he couldn't help but feel sympathy for his friend who was being treated like worthless.

"Hmm... Hauser—the branch chief doesn't seem to be here. That means he's in the hidden village, right? Come on, Naruto, put on your glasses too. We can only go directly to the hidden village underground, but you should be able to do that, right?"

"It's a stretch, but it should be fine."

"Hehe, Natsu-kun finally put on his X-ray glasses, don't look over here, okay?"

"How could I possibly watch it? What if Sixia finds out? That would be too scary..."

"...Natsu-kun, you're so comfortable saying such cowardly things."

Mei'er looked at Natsu with eyes as if she was looking at a pitiful person... He had been trained by sister Sixia.

During this period, Niz also received instructions from Meredith to transfer his clairvoyance to other places...

"Ah, I got it! Look, that one-eyed, one-armed, vicious old man who looks like a mafia boss! What do you think? Do you see it?"

"I see. That man with three scars on his face, wearing a burgundy shirt... He looks strong. Isn't he a supporter, not an execution unit?"

"He was the leader of a renowned mercenary group, but when he was hired by the church to fight, he was abandoned... All his fellow mercenaries..."

"……I see."

Hearing that the mercenary group had been completely wiped out, Natsu closed his eyes briefly. However, he quickly regained consciousness, placing his hands on Meredith and Mel's shoulders. In an instant, his vision shifted again.
