### Volume 10: Reunion

**03 The First Night Inside the Vehicle**


In the end, after receiving advice not only from Karim and Alice but also from Mist during the lunch break, Cyclo agreed to be a bit more well-behaved on the Fresvelgr.

With no other significant issues, the day's journey came to an end without incident. As the sun began to set, they pulled off the main road to prepare for—not camping, but an overnight stay in the vehicle.

Fafnir was equipped with detection capabilities comparable to Cyclo's own clock sense, alerting the interior with a siren if any anomalies were detected. Thus, there was no need to post a watch outside.

In reality, since Cyclo would be staying awake, the issue of watch duty was minor. However, the knowledge that they could sleep in a safer space contributed to a better rest.

For this reason, the four of them enjoyed the dinner prepared by Mist inside the Fafnir, relaxed and discussing their plans for the future.

"Still, we've come a long way, haven't we?"

"Indeed. I think we're about halfway to the capital."

"Wow, that's really something."

Karim was impressed by the unexpected speed of Fafnir.

"Well, it's a different speed class from a carriage. No need for resupplies or long breaks, we're easily going twice as fast. We might reach the capital by noon tomorrow?"

"A carriage would take four or five days, and now it's just a day and a half..."

Karim muttered with a sense of awe.

"Is there no problem with arriving so early?" asked Mist, posing an innocent question.

"Yeah, since we'll be arriving early, I want to get some tasks done ahead of time."

"Tasks?"

"Yeah. Like meeting up and talking with Mom."

Cyclo murmured with a nostalgic tone.

"She should be working as a live-in maid at the handsome Count's residence, so I want to see her and properly tell her that I'm safe."

"I was so sure I could meet her anytime that I didn't even think to prepare other means of communication than letters home," Alice said, reflecting on her own oversight.

"Well, the Count's estate is right next to the capital. It's not even certain if she's working at the capital's mansion or the estate's, so we might not meet her in the capital."

"True... Also, Mom can be pretty scatterbrained, so she might not have even noticed that you got arrested," Alice added, making Cyclo and her laugh at the thought of their easy-going mother.

"Even if that's not the case, there are still people I want to meet and others I need to apologize to. Like the Guild Master of the Adventurer's Guild, for example?"

"Uh! Um, well..."

"We're definitely taking you to bow your head, Alice."

"Y-Yes..."

The conversation continued in a harmonious atmosphere until sleepiness drew them to bed. There was a minor scuffle over who would sleep with Cyclo, but since he insisted on staying in the driver's seat to keep watch, the issue was resolved quickly.

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 9: A Moment of Respite** **03 The Suspicious Man** --- With the parade scheduled, Cyclo and his companions spent a tranquil time, akin to a vacation, while waiting for the day. They temporarily borrowed servants from the Northphoria household to manage the mansion and began hiring their own staff little by little. Through interviews and such, they slowly started to hire staff, but the real recruitment for the mansion's staff would begin after the parade. With not much to do and still feeling the fatigue from conquering the Deep Hole, all the party members enjoyed their respective rests. Two weeks later, the preparations for the parade were complete, and the whole town had been informed. The day of the parade finally arrived. "---I never thought I'd be riding such a fine horse." Cyclo said while looking at the splendid military horse equipped for the parade, dressed in luxurious gear. Mist, who was to ride with him, nodded with a sense of...

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...
