### Volume 10: Reunion

**04 Return to the Capital After So Long**


A day and a half after departing from Northfolia, Cyclo and his companions arrived at the capital.

First, they reported their arrival at the Adventurer's Guild. From there, the guild would relay the message to the palace, and they would receive a response about the investiture ceremony later.

Thus, Cyclo and his group first made their way to the Adventurer's Guild.

"The capital's Adventurer's Guild, huh... Come to think of it, this is my first time visiting."

"Really?" Mist replied with a question upon hearing Cyclo's murmur.

"Yeah. I was too busy with work and daily life to even think about checking up on Alice."

Gazing at the familiar cityscape of the capital, Cyclo said with a sense of wistfulness.

"—But now's not the time for that. Let's get our tasks done quickly."

With this, the group headed straight to visit the capital's Adventurer's Guild.

Upon arrival at the guild, Cyclo approached the reception and presented his guild card.

"I'm Cyclo Owen, an SSS-rank adventurer. I've come to the capital temporarily for my investiture and related procedures. I believe there's a message from either the palace or the Northfolia Adventurer's Guild."

At Cyclo's words and the sight of his guild card, which indicated a high rank rarely seen except in training materials, the receptionist's eyes widened in surprise.

"U-Understood! I'll go confirm with our superiors!!"

The receptionist then left her post and dashed toward the back.

After a short wait, a different woman appeared before Cyclo and his party.

"SSS-ranked adventurer, Cyclo-sama, and members of the 'Destiny's Wheel' party, please follow me. I am the Guild's Submaster. —We have prepared a meeting with the Guild Master, so please come this way."

The woman, the Submaster, directed her words at Cyclo, and he followed her guidance into the guild's inner areas.

They were led to the Guild Master's office itself. The room was divided into areas that appeared to have been recently rebuilt or repaired with fresh timber, clearly marking the site of Alice's explosion incident.

"—Guild Master. I have brought them."

"Ah. Send them in."

After the Submaster's announcement following a knock, a response came from within.

The Submaster opened the door and ushered Cyclo and his companions inside.

As they entered the room, the Guild Master's sharp gaze first pierced through Cyclo.

"Welcome. Cyclo Owen, the SSS-ranked adventurer, 'The Clock User.'"

The Guild Master greeted Cyclo with a voice that seemed to carry some underlying intent, as if testing him.

      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** **08. Coordination Between Three Parties** Days later, the day of the meeting with the Demon King arrived. Instead of Cyclo's mansion, this time, Cyclo, the Demon King, and Deimos gathered in the drawing room of Deimos's mansion. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Demon King. I am Deimos Northforia, the Lord of Northforia." "I am the Emperor of the Rustgard Empire. I apologize, but since I am a singular and absolute individual, I do not have a separate name to distinguish me from others. You may just call me Demon King." The Demon King and Deimos shook hands. "And I'm Cyclo Owen, who is apparently called the hero of Northforia. I'm also scheduled to be conferred the title of baron." "Nice to meet you, Cyclo." Next, Cyclo and the Demon King shook hands. "--Well, let's get to the point. We've already done some preliminary alignment through letters, but let's con...

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...
