”Hmph?”

Lecan himself refers to the sword as <Toron Sword> inwardly.
”Wazrof Household plans to dispatch an investigation team soon.”
”Investigation team?”
”Yes. Through Chaney's mediation, we have acquired the permission from Zaidmahl Household.”
”Are they going to look for more Toron's thorns?”
”No. Zaidmahl appears to have wiped the thorns clean and we cannot exactly rough up another house's territory. We are doing it in an effort to confirm the existence of Earth Dragon Toron.”
It seems Knight Rigan, or rather Wazrof Household still thinks Earth Dragon Toron is still alive out there. Which means, Chaney too probably.
”What're you gonna do if you do find Toron. Beat it?”
”No. We have no plan to make any move that would agitate Toron. We simply wish to verify its location. Lecan-dono, please keep this confidential if you would.”
”Hm? Why?”
Norma explained here.
”Lecan. Earth Dragon Toron is also known as <Dragon of Good Harvest>, those who defeat it as well as the land where it's slain are said to receive its blessings. The Royal Capital Finkel was founded by Founder King after he slayed Toron, Marl Kingdom also came into existence under Toron's blessing. Were it known that Wazrof Household is looking for Toron, there would be some unsavory rumors floating about. Of people speculating them aiming for the throne.”
”Ah, I see. But, y'know, knight Rigan.”
”Yes.”
”I don't think that investigation team is gonna find Toron anywhere.”
Knight Rigan and Norma looked at Lecan with curious eyes.
”Lecan. You know something about it, don't you. Come to think of it, you mentioned how you were under Zaidmahl Household's care for a while when you first fell into this world.”
As there was no point of hiding it, Lecan confessed that he defeated Earth Dragon Toron.
Lecan went to gather Nichia Grass during this journey. Another raw material for Mana Restoratives.
On the 20th of month one, the entourage arrived at Mashajain.
