Chapter 18
Episode 40: To the Tiarad Empire
Two days after we decided to head to the Tiarad Empire, we identified a new base of operations in Spica City, located in the Sirius Territory.
This area is not only far from the Leone Kingdom but also a rural area distant from the imperial capital of the Tiarad Empire, making it an ideal place to carry out our activities discreetly.
To reiterate, the Tiarad Empire and the Leone Kingdom have diplomatic relations, but their border is always tense, and their relationship is quite hostile.
Therefore, we judged that even the Leone royal family would have difficulty dispatching agents like those of the 【Darkness】.
As long as we could cross the border of the Leone Kingdom safely, we would definitely live a safer life than before.
It takes a month by carriage to travel from Cavia Town to the Tiarad Empire.
We couldn’t afford to wait until the Leone royal family discovered our survival and tightened border security.
So, a small advance team, including my mom, me, and a few 【Shadow】 led by the Shadow Leader, set off for the Tiarad Empire on fast horses.
The rest of the 【Shadow】 would follow later, disguised as merchants in a convoy of wagons.
Setting off towards our new base in the Tiarad Empire, Mom and I, along with the 【Shadow】, began our journey on fast horses, fully aware that the journey would not be easy.
Three weeks after leaving Cavia Town, our advance team successfully crossed the border of the Leone Kingdom and entered the Tiarad Empire.
From there, it took another two months to reach Spica City in the Sirius Territory, where we finally reunited with the local 【Shadow】 team.
We headed to the longhouse area prepared by the local team.
It was located a bit away from the main street of Spica City, with three longhouses arranged in a U-shape.
Since all three houses were occupied by the 【Shadow】, it seemed like we could live there safely and securely.

Episode 41: Proof of Growth
The journey from the Leone Kingdom to the Tiarad Empire was incredibly arduous.
Not only did we face attacks from monsters, but we also encountered bandits, robbers, and even so-called righteous thieves.
I used these encounters to practice my combat skills, repelling all threats.
At first, I felt resistance to attacking humans, but as the fierce battles continued, I gradually became accustomed to it.
I could now cast offensive magic without hesitation as long as it didn’t take a human life.
Mystique-sensei praised my newfound combat abilities.
「It was good that you got to experience combat against humans so early. In adventurer activities, it’s rare to encounter such situations. You’re lucky, young lady.」
「I was able to attack because they were malicious people, but could I do the same against regular people?」
「You can. If you don’t attack, you won’t be able to protect Carmen.」
「You’re right. I can do it if it’s to protect Mom!」
「Yes, you can, young lady.」
Having engaged in numerous battles, it was only natural that I leveled up and my stats improved.
Here are my current stats:
【Name】 Celestia, 7 years old
【Occupation】 Magic Warrior
【Lv】 25
【Health】 190
【Magic】 1560
【Defense】 140
【Agility】 180
【Intelligence】 420
【Luck】 90
Next are the results from the 〘Daily Gacha〙:
〘Body Enhancement Rank A〙
〘Flight Rank S〙
〘Shukuchi Rank S〙
〘Future Sight Rank SS〙
〘Holy Twin Spears Rank SS〙
It’s incredible! I got two SS-rank skills!
〘Future Sight〙: A skill that allows the user to see three seconds into the future. During activation, the user can foresee their immediate future.
〘Holy Twin Spears〙: A pair of spears that can extend and retract at the wielder’s will.
〘Flight〙: A skill that enables the user to fly. Flight is possible as long as the user has sufficient magic power.
〘Shukuchi〙: A skill that allows the user to move at super high speeds according to their will. This skill does not consume magic power.
〘Future Sight〙 is an incredible skill.
Being able to see three seconds into the future during combat means I can dodge most attacks and land my own with precision.
〘Holy Twin Spears〙 are flexible weapons, making it difficult for an opponent to evade on first encounter.
With 〘Flight〙 and 〘Shukuchi〙, I seriously want to learn martial arts.
Other gacha results included numerous coins (gold and silver), which are considered low-value prizes.
However, I now have more money than I could ever spend, providing ample funds.
I plan to use rare metals for crafting special armor using 〘Alchemy〙 once things settle down.
By the time we reached Spica City, I had grown significantly.

Episode 42: Report from Parallel Thought 《Butler》
A week had passed since we arrived in Spica City.
Our new base, the row houses, was quite different from those in Cavia Town.
In Cavia Town, the row houses were arranged in a line, but here in Spica City, three row houses were arranged in a U-shape, sharing a common courtyard.
In the center of the courtyard, there was a shared well, and the washing area had a drainage system, making it a very comfortable place to live.
Having secured a safe and permanent place to settle, we started preparing various things like establishing an adventurer clan while waiting for the rear guard to join us.
It was then that I received the long-awaited report from 〘Parallel Thought Butler〙.
『Celestia-sama, I have a report on the application of 〘Space Magic〙. The design of a magic bag is also complete. You can use any material suitable for making a bag and craft a design of your choice using 〘Alchemy〙.
Next, imagine the inside of the bag in the subspace of 〘Space Magic〙 and activate it. After that, imagine that time does not pass inside the bag in the time and space of 〘Space Magic〙 and activate it, and the magic bag will be completed.』
『As expected from the 〘Parallel Thought Butler〙. Thank you, that’s very helpful.』
『Next, with 〘Space Magic〙, you can freely teleport. You can teleport to any place Celestia-sama has visited by simply imagining the location and activating 〘Space Magic〙. Using a teleportation magic circle allows for mass teleportation, but it consumes a significant amount of magic power. With Celestia-sama’s current magical power, it is estimated that teleporting more than 15 people would result in magical depletion.』
『Thank you. I’ll be careful not to deplete my magic power after teleportation.』
『That concludes the items you requested, Celestia-sama. If any further effective applications are discovered, I will report them immediately.』
『Thank you, 〘Parallel Thought Butler〙. Please continue researching 〘Space Magic〙.』
『Certainly.』
The applications of 〘Space Magic〙 are all very appealing, so it would be best to consult with Mama and bring it up in the regular meetings.

Episode 43: The Hunter Association
In the Kingdom of Leone, it was called the 【Adventurer’s Guild】, but in the Tiarad Empire, it’s referred to as the 【Hunter Association】.
Though the names differ, the operational system is unified worldwide, so it seems guild cards are still usable.
After finally getting settled into our new life in the row houses, we decided to visit the Hunter Association and update our guild cards and learn about establishing an adventurer clan.
Accompanied by the Shadow Leader Brad-san, Roy-san, Yuri-san, and Mystique-sensei, the five of us entered the building.
Even though the name differs between the guild and association, the building was easy to spot thanks to the same sword and shield sign.
As we entered through the door, we found the reception counters and quest board just like in the guild…
I thought they might as well standardize the name too.
We headed to the 【Registration and Update Counter】 for now.
「Welcome to the Spica Branch of the Hunter Association! This counter handles new registrations and updates.」
「We’ve come from another place. We’d like to update these guild cards.」
「An update, understood. When updated, your guild card will become a hunter card, but the functions remain exactly the same, so no need to worry. Please submit the card and a blood sample of the person being updated.」
The explanation was very clear, so we handed over our guild cards and blood samples and waited for the updates.
Meanwhile, Roy-san and his wife checked out the quests on the quest board.
After a while, we were called back as the updates were completed, so we headed to the counter.
「The updates are complete. Here are your hunter cards. Brad-sama and Mystique-sama are A Rank, Roy-sama and Yuri-sama are B Rank, and Selen-sama is C Rank. Please confirm and store them accordingly. This concludes the procedure.」
「Thank you.」
With the update to hunter cards finished, we next headed to the 【Clan and Party Reception】 counter to learn about establishing a clan.
