### Volume 10: Reunion

**02 The Dragon and the Eagle**

"—Well, I was worried about what would happen when we got onto this incomprehensible thing called an automobile," grumbled Karim as she drove the 'Fafnir.'

Taking the wheel in the driver's seat, she endeavored to drive safely on the main road as Cyclo had instructed.

"I wasn't really worried since my big brother made it, but I must say, I was still shocked since I've never been in one before."

Alice, sitting in the passenger seat assisting with checking the gauges, gave a wry smile as she spoke.

"But thanks to Master creating Fafnir, we're able to travel in such comfort," Mist chimed in, addressing the two from behind the back seats, where she was preparing lunch in a makeshift kitchen space.

Despite its origins as a war machine, Fafnir was designed as a magical tool for travel, incorporating features akin to a mobile home. It included all sorts of magical tool-equipped kitchen facilities and was structured in such a way that space could be opened up for use as a bedroom, with a loft that could slide down from the ceiling. This allowed for a maximum of six people to sleep inside, or eight if using the seats.

Despite having all this space, the vehicle's exterior remained the size of a slightly larger carriage due to technology that expanded the internal space—a technique that Cyclo claimed to have incorporated using his own skills, which would be impossible to implement in a standard automobile.

However, there was a reason why both Karim and Alice looked somewhat exasperated despite having such a convenient item at their disposal.

"But still... seeing him go wild like that makes you think it's all just for his amusement, doesn't it?"

As he spoke, Karim glanced outside.

There, they saw Cyclo, who was letting out a cheerful shout.

"—Yippeeeeeee!!!"

Cyclo was riding a motor-driven, bicycle-like magical device around the Fafnir, having a blast.

---

The two-wheeled motor-driven magical device Cyclo rode was named 'Fresvelgr.' It was designed alongside Fafnir and was potentially the primary project. If Fafnir was the vehicle necessary for a comfortable group journey, Fresvelgr was a single-seater vehicle designed for speed and navigating rough terrain.

Initially conceived for reconnaissance purposes, its design evolved as Cyclo's enthusiasm grew, and his intuition that riding it would be fun led to its current form.

And now, having actually ridden it, he couldn't stop himself from dashing around freely, much to the dismay of the two watching him.

His wild ride even stirred up some monster wolves, which began to chase after him.

"Ha ha ha! Fresvelgr isn't stopping for that!"

Ecstatic, Cyclo declared this to the pursuing wolves, leaped from his seat, did a backflip in the air, and in an instant, generated his Mistilteinn. 

While upside down in mid-air, he shot at the wolves with unparalleled precision, felling them with each shot. This was no challenge for Cyclo with his exceptional status.

Having landed safely back on his Fresvelgr, Cyclo dismissed the Mistilteinn.

"—Ahh, that was fantastic!"

With a smile that looked like it might draw eye-rolls from his two companions, Cyclo continued to ride ahead of the Fafnir.

      Translated by Hamster --- ### Volume 11: The Eastern Frontier  **11 Aftermath of the Behemoth Incident** Cyclo's party, now with Pepemos in tow, set out to join up with the Demon Army. Along the way, Cyclo explained the details about Pepemos to everyone. "...Is this really okay?" Baal asked with suspicion, to which Cyclo agreed. "Honestly, I think it's plotting mischief. But killing it now would feel kind of... wrong." He said, looking at Pepemos. At that moment, Mist was cuddling Pepemos, stroking its head and body, showing her affection.  Pepemos seemed content, its expression clear. Just by looking at Pepemos's cute appearance, one would hesitate to put it down. "Well, if it does anything bad within my sight, I'll kill it instantly. Even if it secretly tries to increase its magical power to become stronger, I'll kill it. So, I think it won't become a major issue." "Hmm... This weak creature can't do much harm as it...

Translated by Hamster **Volume 9: A Moment of Respite** **01 Return** --- "---It's bright." After conquering the Deep Hole, Cyclo and his companions returned to the outside world. Cyclo squinted at the sun, which he hadn't seen in a while. His companions each stretched out their bodies, savoring their escape from the confined space. "It was really a tough conquest, wasn't it? The highest difficulty and time we've ever faced." "Yep, I've never experienced something like this before..." Karim and Alice reminisced about the harshness of the dungeon. "But we managed to conquer it, thanks to all of us working together." Mist said with a sense of satisfaction, and everyone nodded in agreement. "That's right. Thanks, everyone. ---Well, we have a lot to talk about, and we need to discuss the future, but before that, we have to report back to the guild." After all, the reason for starting the conquest was the appearance o...

Translated by Hamster --- ### Volume 10: Reunion **01 Departure to the Capital** Several days after his meeting with the Demon King, the day arrived for Cyclo to head to the capital for his investiture. "It's finally time, Cyclo-kun. I'll have to leave everything in your hands," Deimos said. "Yes, please wait with peace of mind, Deimos-san." At the lord's manor, Cyclo exchanged farewell greetings with Deimos. "By the way, are you sure you don't need me to arrange for a carriage?" "Yes. I've developed something a little more elaborate than a magical tool... something that makes travel much easier." "Ho, that sounds intriguing." Upon hearing Deimos's words, Cyclo grinned and asked, "Would you like to see it?" --- Cyclo led Deimos out to the manor's courtyard. "Clock Generation - 'Fafnir'!" Cyclo extended his hand in front of him and activated his skill. In an instant, complex magical...
