There is still time left before other colleagues arrive.

Before that, the three of us started guessing the remaining picture.

“If you have something in common with the other four… you’ll probably have to fight for this too.”

“With a person holding a large sword.”

“Yes. Other than that… there is no answer.”

Are my words persuasive?

Bella and Afrieh nodded.

“Even if that is not the case, there will be situations where a great sword is needed.”

“I happen to have a great sword.”

I took out the great sword that Ray used before from my inventory.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been using it for quite some time.

The durability was crawling on the floor and there were cracks here and there.

At least I did well. A great sword that can break if you swing it once or twice.

“Why do you still have it?”

You can just throw Afrie away or replace it with another weapon, but he still doesn’t understand me carrying it around.

“Even if you want to inherit it. This sword is not given any abilities. It’s just scrap metal with only offensive power. I can’t use it.”

“Why do that..”

“Should I just call it a commemoration?”

When I first came here and didn’t know anything, I was just fooling around.

Contrary to my expectations, the counter’s weaknesses were slightly different.

I found out later that it hadn’t completely changed.

As time passed, counters also evolved.

As it evolved, the weaknesses of the counter were improved.

To break through it, you can either defeat it at once with high attack power.

The only way to defeat it was by continuously inflicting damage.

There are plenty of other ways to find it.

“Because I almost died at that time.”

“In short, that great sword is a lifesaver.”

After hearing my story, Afrieh said as if he understood and swung his great sword once.

The rough feeling at the fingertips clearly indicated that it was a cheap greatsword.

In short, it was something that could not be thrown away even if one wanted to.

Even if it has no durability and is destroyed, there is nothing we can do about it. As of now, I had no intention of throwing it away myself.

“Then I don’t know what a great sword is. Let’s start with what we know.”

“I.. what does that mean..”

Mini Me did not understand what I was saying and asked a question.

“What do you mean? Of course, Father will help you find the true water of life.”

“Yes? Ah… oh no! That’s what Grandpa Maris has been trying to get for his entire life! You can never hand it over!”

Mini Me refuses help with all her might.

It’s not that I don’t understand what he’s saying.

Even though I know Maris.

To Mini Me, the person she meets for the first time will seem like she’s trying to take away the water of life that her grandfather has been searching for all his life.

but.

“So?”

“..Yes?”

“Can you do it alone? As you just saw. We are strong enough to have fought dragons and survived.”

Although I didn’t win.

He fought not an imoogi, but a real dragon, and came back alive.

If this alone had been the gaming era, bulletin boards would have been plastered with survival stories for a week.

It has that kind of impact.

No matter how much you don’t know about dragons.

I wouldn’t say I don’t know the power I felt here.

“No matter what… please give me some time to think.”

I nodded and said I understood.

Mini Me immediately became lost in thought.

“I understand. I will get help.. instead.”

I know what you mean by that.

“I know. I won’t take it. I’m just curious.”

I continued speaking while checking the water of life that had been saved.

“I want to see the real water of life so much that I say this is fake… Ah.”

It occurred to me.

“Father?”

“Master?”

I heard a voice calling me from next to me, but I ignored it and checked the map again.

A picture drawn on a map.

I thought it was Maris’ painting. If not.

If only Maris had looked at someone else’s drawing and followed it.

I’ve never seen Maris draw any of the paintings I’ve seen.

I only saw the finished picture.

There is a possibility.

“Everyone look at this.”

After putting the map down for everyone to see, I twirled my finger over it.

The picture on the map is starting to rotate little by little.

It wasn’t actually going back.

It’s just an optical illusion that it’s going back. This alone was a big hint for us.

“This is… a whirlpool. No… Are you saying to mix these five ingredients?”

“My thoughts are the same. If you get everything in this picture and make it one, the way will open.”

The problem was I didn’t even know how to put them together.

I don’t see these ingredients in the combination window either.

Can I find out if I ask Arvin?

It was possible that she was an alchemist and knew things we didn’t know.

“I have already sent a message to Arvin.”

“Already? It’s fast.”

“Yes. I said I would check. The answer will come in a little while.”

Then there was only one thing we had to do.

“Let’s move slowly too. Even if I stay here forever. Because there is nothing I can do.”

*

The first material we needed to find was a place with a picture of a broom.

The reason was that it was the closest place to this place, and it seemed the easiest.

“Broom… where do you want me to sweep?”

“Well? I don’t know either? Does anything come to mind Bella?”

“Yes. None.”

“Hing. Aren’t you too hard for me? Let’s be a little friendly, even if it’s not to the extent of doing it to your father~”

“I don’t like it.”

Bella flatly refused.

“Why!”

“That’s right..”

He scanned Afrieh’s body once and shook his head.

Afrie immediately realized what that meant and became furious.

“What do you mean by that! It means that I am infinitely light! Or maybe my clothes are weird! This is the dragon’s authentic costume!”

“It is true that you are looking at it lightly. I know that’s not the dragon’s authentic costume.”

“…did you know?”

There was no way I didn’t know.

Afriye’s current attire could not be said to be wearing clothes.

It would have been more accurate to say that I was wearing clothes.

A dress-like outfit that boasts quite a bit of exposure, as well as a large cape draped over her shoulders.

He was fully clothed.

“Let’s move quickly. Master has already gone all the way in front of me.”

“Ah. Wait!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he started to speed up and Afri followed suit.

“I think it’s around here.”

I checked the map and looked around the place I arrived, but there was nothing that looked like a broom.

“Master. Maybe we should see it from the sky?”

“Leave that to me!”

Before Afrie could even ask for a favor, she spread her wings and went up into the sky.

The sight seen from above was no ordinary forest.

“Is that… a broom?”

No matter how much I checked, it wasn’t shaped like a broom.

It wasn’t a very dense forest, but it didn’t have any shape.

“How about it?”

Ryuk asked Afree who landed on the floor.

There was only one answer that could be given.

“I couldn’t find the broom shape. I guess. I think I guessed wrong..”

“Really? First, shall we make a broom?”

Everything that could be done had to be done.

But where did Maris find this map and picture?

“Mini Me. Where did Maris get this map?”

“I don’t know that either. Because I’ve always been holding this map since some point.”

“Okay..”

There were no helpful answers.

In the meantime, we picked up tree branches that had fallen on the ground and weaved them with leaves to make a simple broom.

===========

Name: Scrapy broom.

Grade: Normal

Description: It was crudely made from something that fell on the floor. It looked like it would break soon.

Ability: Worthy cost-effectiveness. Cleaning efficiency increased by 2%.

===========

We made four brooms and started slowly sweeping the floor.

Brooms were made for cleaning, so it was natural to clean them.

“I don’t know how long I have to do this.”

If you do that, it will come to an end.

We cleaned again and again with no end in sight.

How many hours have you been doing this?

Then, I finally got a call from Arvin.

“Master. Contact Arvin.”

“Really? I’ll check.”

Ryuk went into the party message and checked what Arvin had sent.

-I’m checking what I sent. All of them are ingredients. However, no matter how you look at it, a single broom is not material. That’s my opinion. This..

“Ah, father!”

As I was reading the content Arvin sent, Afriye, who was sweeping the floor in the distance, shouted.

I raised my head to see what was happening.

“What is that?”

The land near Afrieh was shining brightly.

A similar light to when Perisilak appeared before.

Although not identical, they were quite similar.

As I got closer and used a broom, the light began to widen little by little.

“I understand. We have to move this light to cover this forest.”

There are a total of 5 forests in Euryral, including the north, south, east, west, and central forests.

The pictures drawn on the map were also perfect, with a total of 5 pictures.

Do we have to do it one by one like this?

While thinking about that, Ryuk finished reading the message he was reading.

-Of the five pictures, the broom seems to be the easiest, but in my opinion, it can take the longest time.

surely..

It seems like it will take a long time to color the entire forest with light.

“But. I need to show my hard work skills.”

I used to sit at my desk for 15 hours a day and just play games.

This much effort? It doesn’t even get caught in difficult axes.
