Chapter 61: Decisive Battle

When I joined Aria and entered the room, Amane welcomed us. After exchanging greetings of appreciation, we discussed the results of the negotiations.

“The neighboring countries, Rokak and Azumiya, have formed an alliance with us. Other nations may not be openly moving, but we have secured a promise that they will secretly send food and supplies through merchants.”

“It seems to be going smoothly.”

“Yes, now we just need to prepare.”

“Regarding that preparation… is that all the information about Kamutsuhi?”

I had reviewed all the materials stored in Gomons, but while there were descriptions of Kamutsuhi’s existence and abilities, there were almost no mentions of the wielders.

As a result, communication with Kamutsuhi was in a state of fumbling, and I was now hoping to find any clue, however small, regarding what Kamutsuhi expects from its wielder.

“I’m sorry, but the materials regarding divine relics, including Kamutsuhi, are all that are available in the archives. Even if the neighboring countries know of the relics’ existence, it is unlikely they have written accounts.”

“I see…”

It seems that there are only a handful of divine relics still in existence, and the materials concerning them are most abundant in Gomons.

When I thought about it, rare drops were regarded as legends, akin to fairy tales on the Grushio continent. Unless they are as tangible as the empire, there would be no way to research or leave behind materials about them.

“If we look elsewhere… ah.”

Amane suddenly had a face as if she had remembered something, but then she immediately shook her head. Her reaction piqued my curiosity, and I asked her.

“Do you have any leads?”

“Rather than a lead… there might have been something that has since vanished.”

“It’s fine; could you tell me about it?”

When I asked, Amane closed her eyes and fell silent. After a brief moment of silence, she began to speak quietly.

“There is a place where there may have been materials regarding Kamutsuhi from our house. However, that place has already perished and is no longer accessible to the living.”

“Not accessible?”

“… The Village of Hijima, once a hidden village that protected Kamutsuhi and Zanma, has now become a toxic land, making it impossible to approach.”
