Tension is palpitating throughout the Vanderwall castle. The subjugation of magical beasts is just around the corner.

This time, the subjugation will be of a much larger scale, and we will stay in the forest where the magical beasts live for several days. This large-scale subjugation is said to be carried out once a year on a regular basis. I’m amazed that Percival has been taking part in these subjugations since he was a child. Vanderwall’s method of training is all about practice.

The unit that will go out for subjugation this time is Kingsleigh-san’s unit, which we practised against the other day. After the battle with us, I heard that Kingsleigh-san, together with the soldiers under his command, has re-trained considerably. I heard that he reflected a lot on the lack of coordination in the event of an unforeseen situation. In times of crisis, the rear guard may not always be in a position to use support magic, and the opponent’s attack may be beyond imagination. When faced with an unexpected situation, it doesn’t matter how strong each of them is if they are too upset to take appropriate action. This is why they have trained their mentality a lot. What kind of training did they do……

But still, camping for a subjugation? I know it’s not for fun, but the blood that was once an adventurer’s stirs. In my previous life, I was often asked to hunt magical beasts.

There are two types of beasts, one is a beast that can be found anywhere and is close to human habitation. The other is beasts known as magical beasts. The difference between the two is that the former is basically edible, regardless of whether it tastes good or bad, while the latter has a magical poison and cannot be eaten in any way. Besides, all magical beasts are dangerous and will attack people and other beasts, regardless of their size. Bears and wolves also attack people, but they are not as dangerous. Some magical beasts breathe fire or spread poison, and their bodies are so tough that even a rabbit-sized beast cannot be killed with a trap or a bow and arrow. In return, you are able to obtain valuable parts that can be used as materials, so they are not entirely a nuisance.

It seems that these dangerous magical beasts have been on the increase in Vanderwall territory recently. Oriens is protected by the castle walls, so it rarely suffers damage from magical beasts, but the villages and towns outside the walls are often attacked by them. Each time, the Vanderwall soldiers stationed in each area go to subjugate them, but it seems that they are becoming unmanageable. Because of this, this time’s subjugation will be more extensive than usual, and preparations and planning are being carefully carried out.

Under the direction of the margrave, Percival, along with Theodore and Curtis, is also making meticulous preparations. If there is even one thing for which they are not prepared, it will be fatal.

No matter where I show my face, everyone seems to be busy with scary faces, so I stay in my room quietly, as I don’t want to get in the way.

By the way, I don’t have to prepare anything. In the meantime, I was told that they would lend me some protective gear, but I politely declined. I don’t have any physical strength, so it’s better not to wear anything that puts a strain on my body. As the person being taken along, I can’t afford to get battered immediately and become a burden. I have barrier defence magic and can use several spells at the same time, so this is enough protection for me. When I use barrier defence magic on other people or objects, I put my magical power there to create a wall, so I can’t move the barrier, but when I use barrier defence magic on myself, I can move the wall itself because the magical power that becomes the wall is always emanating from me.

Since the surroundings were busy for the subjugation in a few days, I felt that I should prepare something, so I prepared a small bag to wrap around my waist, but the army will prepare all the necessary things, such as camping equipment, so there is nothing for me to take with me. After thinking about it for a while, I put in a few candies, first-aid medicine and bandages. Somehow, I don’t think I even need these.

If there’s anything else I need, it’s……

“It’s definitely a wand!”

After I checked the belt with the wand holder on it for any defects, I chose a laurel wand from the two available wands.

“Sapphiras-sama, I have brought you a cup of tea. May I come in?”

There is a light knock on the door and Clarabelle-san calls out.

“Come in.”

Pushing the tea wagon, Clarabelle-san enters. Immediately, a savoury aroma fills the room. It’s the smell of nut sablés.

“Smells great!”

“I’ve brought you some freshly baked ones, please enjoy them while they’re still warm.”

“Yes!”

When I took my seat, Clarabelle-san made me a cup of tea. I ate the still warm sablé straight away. It’s crispy, flaky and has an irresistible buttery aroma. This is going to be unstoppable again.

Since the preparations for the subjugation began, Clarabelle-san, Anna-san and Susanna-san have been visiting me in turn several times a day. Percival has become busy, and they are concerned about the fact that I am alone most of the day. It’s not that I’m bored, so I don’t mind being left alone. I’m very happy with the freshly made pastries.

“I hear that Sapphiras-sama is also taking part in the subjugation this time.

“Yes.”

“I’ve heard from the Madam that Sapphiras-sama is very strong, but is it really ok? I hear that this year’s subjugation is more dangerous than in previous years.

“I’ll be fine! I have magic!”

When I spin the laurel wand, a golden trail is drawn in the air. I’m in good shape as usual today.

“……Oh my! Oh, my! How beautiful!”

Clarabelle-san’s eyes lit up……Somehow, this way of showing emotion is similar to Madam Adeline’s.

“I’ve never seen such beautiful magic before!”

It’s not magic, it’s magical power. But Clarabelle-san was happy, so that’s good.

I mentioned earlier that magic seems to be all-powerful, but it cannot be used outside of the goddess’s principles. For example, bringing the dead back to life, manipulating time, creating things without souls, etc. are magic that is outside the realm of reason. It is said that this is magic that only the goddess can use. Considering the way my soul has been treated, this may be generally true.

There is elemental magic everywhere in this world, and it is magical power that moves them. Naturally, the strength and size of magic is proportional to the amount of magical power.

And when you use the elemental magic, you have to chant and swear that you will not use it in a way that deviates from the goddess’s principles, and ask to be allowed to use it as magic. I don’t chant, so I don’t know. How the magician uses elemental magic depends on the skill of the magician. Whether it is water, fire, earth, thunder or wind, it is up to the magician how to use it. Therefore, magicians with little imagination cannot use much magic.

However, transfer, healing magic, and summoning seem to be a different kind of magic from reason, but I believe that these were probably given to me at the mercy and whim of the goddess.

That’s why I’m always ready. All I have to do now is wait for the day of the subjugation.
