The description of the characteristics was simple, so there was nothing special to think about. The feeling was faint but clear. The world was growing clearer, or at least that was how I felt.

“Are you going in alone?”

Primienne asked. I nodded silently.

“Wouldn’t it be best to wait for support…?”

“I don’t need it.”

The vineyard transformed into a magical space instantly, and the mana concentration increased by at least 1%. Considering that the concentration of the most magical mountain was around 0.1%, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that the inside was completely different from reality.

“Saying that you don’t need it, I’m disappointed, brother~.”

The sound of high heels not suited to the field and old-fashioned laughter. Josephine approached, tucking her hair behind her ears.

“Soon, Zeit will also arrive, so please wait.”

I shook my head without even sparing her a glance.

“Even Count Freyden can’t do anything.”

“…Gosh. If the head of the family hears that, I’m sure he will be very happy~.”

Of course, Zeit was a perfect knight. But when it comes to magic and the mental power that this space would test, he wouldn’t prove superior to me.

“This space won’t break even if you try. If you don’t know magic, it’s just a hindrance.”

“The only person who can say that Zeit is a hindrance is probably you~.”

“I alone am more than enough. No, it’s better to be alone. This is the order Her Majesty has given me.”

“Well… just don’t die, huh?”

I moved forward alone.

The vineyard had already become a thick forest, its massive trees devouring the sky. Its bleak landscape was enough to arouse fear, but I didn’t care. One step. Then two. I just went slowly.

“…”

The branches created dark shade, and the wind of mana licked at my clothes. The unique feeling of the magical space reached my mind, and fog rose everywhere I walked. Soon, the gloomy fog projected a certain memory like an image on a silver screen.

I watched as I passed through the vineyard.
