“Looking at the results of our match, it seems my ability is still lacking…”

“Yes, that’s right Rēko . That’s why it’s still too early to go alone on a mission . ”

“That’s exactly why I need to go, my further growth demands it . Therefore, we can say this errand is the perfect chance . ”

As soon as the death match ended, for some reason Rēko started with her convenient interpretations .

“Umm, Rēko? That’s not what you said right? Wasn’t it whether you’re strong enough to go as an envoy?”

“No, you’re wrong Evil Dragon Lord . It was just a kind of presentation to help me understand the necessity to go through more trials . ”

“So, you wanted to go no matter the result . ”

Well, I knew from long ago that Rēko’s not an easy child to persuade . Since it’s come to this, it’s obvious she’ll go to that home country no matter what methods I’d use .

“Hey Sheina, how far from here is that home country?”

“Let’s see… It’d take around 7 days on a super-fast horse to the royal capital . However, if it’s only for the provision of information and funds, I think the easternmost checkpoint is enough . They should know what’s going on, and it’ll take only about 2 days to get there . ”

“Oh, though called a home country it’s pretty vast, huh . ”

“Well yeah . Both Peryudōna and Seiren on the other side of the mountain are fairly big, but there are many towns like that inside the home country . This frontier is only an itty-bitty remote region . ”

“That’s amazing . ”

Long ago when I’ve mingled in human habitats the scope of the countries wasn’t so vast . That’s because the bigger the towns become, the wider the area to protect extends . Among the total human population only a small handful of people are skilled enough to fight the demons . A fixed number of them must be stationed as town guards, so a ma.s.sive number of warriors is necessary to maintain an enormous territory .

Formerly the battles depended on personal talent; as a result, the number of powerful warriors was quite low . Now most likely there must’ve been some progress in magic research and methods of training .

So I asked, “In that case, seeing your magic power aren’t you a valuable personnel? Instead of strangely complicating the whole thing wouldn’t it be better to train properly at the home country?”

“You really don’t get it Evil Dragon Lord . Listen closely . If I went somewhere like the Magicians’ Guidance Inst.i.tution, each and every one of them has magic power . On the other hand, at this frontier’s guard I’m being treated as the main force just by being a mage, you know? Moreover, when I return home every now and then, I can play up to the neighbours like ‘At that age she’s already a strong woman with practical experience . ’”
