Rumors of the Kingdom of Barcula

using magical devices to purify their sewage

have reached our lands of Sidonia.

The Church of Divine Light has issued an appeal

to the Holy Empire of Sidonia's Pope on this matter.

They claim that light magic is a gift from God bestowed upon the Church of Divine Light,

and, as such, purification magic

falls under the purview of the Church of Divine Light.

What does this mean?

They have said, "The purification magic circle and its patent"

"are to be turned over to the Church."

If the power is a gift from their god,

then the Church can just make the magic circle themselves.

Th-The Pope has also added,

"Using our sacred purification magic on a magical toilet is inexcusable."

Therefore, "You are to promptly turn over the one"

"who created this purifying magical device to the Holy Empire of Sidonia."

I refuse.

The Pope is considering recalling all of the Church of Divine Light's priests

who reside in the Kingdom of Barcula!

Please, by all means, recall them.

We shall not stop you.

Episode 6 A Drake Horse Appears

Was that really okay...

to take such a hard stance with Sidonia's messenger?

It's not a problem.

But doesn't that mean turning the Church against us?

Mr. Takumi, you might not know this since you're from a rural town,

but there's another religion aside from the Church of Divine Light in this kingdom.

Oh, the Church of Creation, right?

Oh? I'm surprised you know about it.

Yes, the Church of Creation that worships the Goddess Nolyn.

Um, if the Church of Creation worships Lady Nolyn,

then what god does the Church of Divine Light worship?

I believe that would be Anat.

Anat?

Setting that aside, the Kingdom of Barcula upholds freedom of religion,

so it has many believers in the long-standing Church of Creation.

For one thing, the Church of Creation's priests administer recovery magic

for little more than a show of appreciation.

And in contrast, the priests of the Church of Divine Light charge hefty fees, I take it?

Yes.

And the Church of Divine Light is bring propped up by the Holy Empire of Sidonia, right?

So, what brings me here today is a request for you, Mr. Takumi.

It would be wise to avoid getting involved with them.

A request?

Well...

I went through our lord, Marquis Godwin,

to offer His Royal Majesty samples of your toilet

with its purification magic, as well as your refrigerator,

so, well...

He's ordered that the Marquis and I shall bring you to meet him!

H-Hold on a minute!

Of course, His Royal Majesty will not be angry if you refuse!

So it's up to you, Mr. Takumi!

To the royal capital, Bakilatos?

Yes.

His Royal Majesty has protected me from the Holy Empire of Sidonia's interference,

so it seemed rude to refuse.

Could I ask you two to come with me?

Of course.

It's my first time visiting the royal capital!

Have you been before, Sofia?

No, it will be a first for me, too.

It's a first for me, too!

We'll be heading out in a week.

We'll need to get a lot of things ready in the meantime.

How long does it take to reach the royal capital?

They said it's about seven days by monster horse carriage.

Then I'll need to prepare plenty of food, too!

I'll leave that to you, Maria.

Leave all the housework to me!

Also, I'm thinking of making new cloaks for you two.

Cloaks?

I had Papek secure some dark element magical stones for me.

With those, I can enchant the cloaks with Block Perception.

Block Perception...

That would certainly be useful in combat.

Also, if you wear them in town,

then I think it'll help you two avoid being accosted by bad people.

You know...

I think Mr. Takumi isn't valuing himself highly enough.

I agree.

He has good looks to start with,

and then there's his talent and strong capability as a producer.

Add onto that his disposition, and—

Wh-What?

Oh-ho...

I-I'm just stating why he's wonderful as a master!

Sure, sure.

H-Hey! There's Black Buffalo meat over there!

Sofia, you're so love-struck!

Where's your offering?

Lady Nolyn.

Hey, Takumi!

It's been a while.

I hear you're heading to the royal capital.

Are you here to pray for safe travels?

And you didn't bring an offering?

I have some questions.

The goddess of the Church of Divine Light is called Anat, right?

That's right.

Is she a goddess separate from you?

Ugh. I'm the only goddess.

Then who is Anat?

Well, you'll learn that in due time.

In due time?

What's this?

Are you curious?

It feels like the Holy Empire of Sidonia has been drawing closer to me.

You mentioned before that some of your blessing would come undone depending on my actions.

Yeah.

Was the interference from Sidonia because of that?

It wasn't.

Sidonia is the reason that you're here in Mildgard in the first place.

So that goes beyond the level of a blessing's power.

I see.

Oh, so what's become of the heroes summoned by Sidonia?

Normally that would cause quite the commotion.

The truth is...

I messed with time when I sent you on your way.

I sent you to one year before the summoning of the heroes.

Huh?!

You mean they haven't been summoned yet?!

Yeah. Not for another few months.

Hold on a minute!

Why go to the trouble of sending me a year before the summoning?!

Time's up, Iruma.

This isn't visiting hours at a prison.

Well, see you later!

Next time, bring an offering!

I like sweets!

Wait, you haven't answered my question—

I feel like she dodged the question.

Well, I'm not planning on meeting the heroes,

so I guess it doesn't matter to me.

Holy Empire of Sidonia 10 Months After Takumi's Present Time

That's it, Sir Akira!

Wonderful!

If I were one second slower, I would have lost my life.

You're quite the flatterer.

No, no.

The growth you've achieved in these past few weeks has been astonishing, Sir Akira.

Presence Concealing Cloak

Cloak created from from cloth woven from mythril and an Arachne's special silk.

Enchantments

• Block Perception • Enhanced Stealth • Enhanced Physical Resistance • Auto Temperature Regulation

Wow!

They match Master's!

That's far too brazen.

Huh? You don't like the design?

No, I do like it!

They're lovely!

Then I'm glad to hear it.

You two look good no matter what you wear.

No, no, now you're going too far!

Did I say something inappropriate again?!

Huh?!

You're making a carriage?!

Thinking long-term,

I figure it's better to build a comfortable one for myself instead of borrowing one every time.

I can make the carriage, but we don't have a monster horse.

I'll just have to borrow one from the guild.

Mr. Takumi.

Do you know why Bolton is called the "Town of Adventurers"?

No...

It's actually my first time learning that it's called that.

I can't believe I assumed you knew something when you didn't!

I'm just a chilly toilet pretending to be a refrigerator!

Another toilet metaphor?

So, why is it called that?

Remember the Forest of Death outside Bolton?

There are many other areas like that monsters inhabit.

There are even unicorns and drake horses, which compared to monster horses,

are far faster and stronger!

I hear there are griffons, too!

Are drake horses significantly faster than monster horses?

Yes.

They possess far greater speed and stamina

than monster horses, plus they're tough.

Is that because they're a type of dragon monster?

No, they're not dragon monsters.

They apparently look pretty much like ordinary horses.

The distinct difference between them and horses is their rhino-like horn,

and the fact that their bodies are covered in scales like a dragon.

I see.

So that's where the name comes from.

Master, Sofia, Maria!

Hurry, hurry!

Maple's really excited.

Maybe she's happy that she might get another like her.

Huh?! Maple!

Don't you already have me?!

A Bush Wolf!

Huh? It passed right by us.

It's thanks to our cloaks' Block Perception!

If they can deceive a Bush Wolf's nose, then these cloaks are really good.

That's true. Although...

Huh?!

It might be to remove the cloaks and fight in order for us to train.

Ah, her weird switch has flipped again.

Wow. In one blow.

We got some extra meat!

I can dry the meat and it to our supplies!

Let's hurry up!

Yeah.

That's a Treant.

It's dead.

It's okay to take this, right?

We need Treant wood to make the carriage.

I was thinking of buying some from Papek, but...

A Treant this big will provide enough wood for the whole carriage.

I'll help you.

Master!

Meat, meat!

Wood, wood!

Jeez, I'm going on ahead.

There are lots of tree monsters on the ground.

Is something there?

Wow!

Are you injured?

I'm Maple. I have an amazing master.

He'll heal you.

Did these things hurt you?

Wait here. I'll call my master.

Stay away!

Master! Master!

Why isn't he responding?!

Master was so focused on those trees.

They all... They all...

I'm sure...

they all forgot about me and went home.

Master...

Master... you dummy.

Stupid master!

I... can't!

Master?

Maple.

Master!

You did well.

Master!

I'm glad you're safe.

Maple!

Everyone!

I called for you!

I called for you, Master!

I'm sorry.

This was in the way.

While weaving these threads into multiple layers created a sturdy defense,

they seem to have blocked mana as well.

I figured something was wrong the moment I felt our mana link drop,

so I followed the trail it left.

Sorry I was late.

You must have been scared.

Master!

Th-This girl...

She's a drake horse, isn't she?

She must have passed out from her serious wounds.

Drake Horse

Condition

Severely Wounded Unconscious

Please, Master!

You have to save her!

I see.

You were trying to protect her, huh?

Alright.

She repelled me?!

Maybe's she's just that wary even while unconscious.

No way!

She's going to die!

I sense other monsters approaching.

Staying here much longer is dangerous.

Master! Don't leave her behind! Please!

Don't worry.

I'm not leaving her behind.

You're putting her in your pocket dimension?!

Maple, stay with her until I call for you.

Okay!

That's reckless!

You can't put an advanced monster in there without a familiar pact!

Doing so will put intense strain on your body!

I-It's fine, it's fine...

I'll drink a potion and recover.

Mr. Takumi!

It's been over twelve hours and he still hasn't woken.

Of course not.

Even though he's asleep,

he's still maintaining that pocket dimension despite its high strain.

Maple isn't coming out, either.

That's probably because Mr. Takumi hasn't summoned her,

and the drake horse is still frightened.

Unless Maple opens it,

the pocket dimension will keep holding that drake horse,

and Mr. Takumi will slowly wither away.

We have to do something.

Like what?

Before he withers away...

Sofia?!

Follow Mr. Takumi's mana, and...

Maple?

Maple, can you hear me?

Maple!

Sofia?

How is she?

She's still frightened.

Can you get her out of there?

She might become more confused if she suddenly pops out somewhere unfamiliar.

Still, we can't heal her if she doesn't come out.

Mr. Takumi will remain unconscious, too.

Yeah.

Can you make the same barrier of thread you used in the forest?

The drake horse's fears may be assuaged if she can't see past it.

Oh, right.

Got it!

I'll do it!

I'll take her out in the garden!

Sofia?

Where are you going?

The Papek Company.

I'll buy some medicinal herbs for monsters.

Please let me handle that errand!

Sofia, please stay with Mr. Takumi so you're here when he wakes!

I'm heading off!

Ah, that's warm.

Mr. Takumi.

Please wake up already.

I've prepared delicious soup for you!

Master! You sleepyhead!

Oh... yeah.

I need to wake up.

That warmth...

Mr. Takumi!

Good morning.

It sounds like you've all been doing your best.

I'm glad I have you all.

Now, I need to go see to that drake horse.

Master, come in!

He's the one I've been telling you about.

The one who'll save you.

She's recovered quite a bit.

Maple did her best to treat her.

In that case...

It looks like you and Maple are good friends now.

Would you like to be my friend, too?

Please.

Tame Drake Horse?

Drake Horse

tamed

Master?

There!

High Heal!

Thanks to all the hard work you all put in,

we have a new companion.

Master, what about her name?

Let's see...

I named you Maple because the pattern on your abdomen

resembles a maple leaf, didn't I?

Then name her after a leaf, too!

Camellia.

Camellia?

Yeah.

It's a tree that retains its leaves all year round,

and it blooms with red and white flowers.

What a lovely name!

Yeah.

Camellia! Good for you!

You know, I was so lonely when I was injured and all alone in the forest.

I was sad and scared...

But then Master rescued me...

Then I was really, really happy!

So I wanted to help you.

Okay! Let's have some food!

I just finished making something delicious!

I'm starving!

That's because you haven't eaten for a full day.

I'm hungry, too!
