### Volume 10: Reunion
**11: Reunion with Mother**


"Cy-clo!!"

Upon reuniting with Cyclo, Sarina rushed towards him, calling his name, and hugged him tightly with tears of joy.

"You're safe. I'm so relieved... Your hair has turned so white. You've gone through a lot, haven't you?"

"Ah, not really, Mom."

Cyclo realized that Sarina didn't know his hair had turned white due to the Elder Licht.

"But more importantly, Mom, why are you here?"

"Well, it's a long story, but..."

Sarina began her tale, which wasn't as long as she had suggested.

After resigning from Count Ikemen's estate, she first learned about Cyclo being wrongfully arrested. This made finding another job difficult, leading her to hide in an unoccupied part of the slums.

There, she was helped by the former sister of the church and was introduced to some simple work. To repay that kindness, she was now looking after children without a home.

"I see..."

Cyclo understood and pondered what to do next.

It would be easy to just take Sarina away. He could take her to an inn for the time being and then bring her along when he returned to Northfolia.

However, doing so would leave the children at the church in a bind.

Before Sarina came, it was just the former sister managing alone, which Cyclo could imagine was incredibly tough even just from what he could picture.

Therefore, Cyclo hesitated to take Sarina away.

"...Mom, what do you want to do from now on?"

For now, he decided to hear Sarina's thoughts.

"Well, I'm happy to have met Cyclo, but I can't just abandon these children. I'll do my best here!"

Sarina gave a thumbs-up with determination.

Cyclo looked at her hands, now rougher than he remembered, and made his decision.

"—I see. If that's what you want, I won't force you. But, I'd like to do what I can."

"Oh? But Cyclo, you don't have to push yourself?"

"It's okay. I'm—believe it or not, quite an amazing adventurer."

With a reassuring smile, Cyclo spoke to Sarina.

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...

      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...
