We flew the airship for several hours. Finally, the blue sea came into view ahead of us. When we reached the beach, we used the elevator to descend to the white sandy beach.

(Oh~, what a very beautiful sandy beach! This is perfect for swimming! Maybe I’ll find a beautiful woman there already? Ufufufu.)

In my mind, I picture the scene of myself having fun with beautiful women (with big breasts) in swimsuits, and my cheeks unconsciously relax.

『No, Master, it seems it’s not time for you to swim in the sea.』

“Eh?”

I tilted my head at Lindwurm’s ominous remark.

『Look at the state of the sea.』

(T-This is ….…)

As I turned my gaze towards the sea, I saw a number of huge shadows wriggling in the sea. From time to time they came out to sea, roaring loudly.

“There are so many monsters……”

Even with just a glance, there are probably 20 of them. And that’s only what I can see from this beach, there are probably more of them deeper down there.

“What an incredible number! Are there really that many monsters in the sea?”

“That can’t be! Obviously, that’s an extraordinary number!”

Fana, who doesn’t seem to have been to the sea much, muttered, but Anje disagreed.

“Hmm. Master, there are monsters coming up to the beach.”

When Lill allerted me, I turned my gaze to the direction she’s looking at and saw a turtle monster with countless spines on its back slowly coming up onto the beach.

(Linlin, we’ll eliminate that thing immediately! We’ll never get to the sea, but we must absolutely defend the beach! At worst, as long as we have a sandy beach I can have a swimsuit episode!)

Unfortunately, there were no other guests, but my disciples are here. I had prepared a swimsuit for them to wear just for this purpose.

『No matter how I look at it, that won’t happen.』

(No way……)

『You should be more concerned about the state of this sea.』

As I slumped my shoulders, I heard an angry shout from behind us.

“What are you guys doing in such a place!? The sea is very dangerous right now!”

When I turned around, I saw a middle-aged man who seemed to be a local here. He was quite tanned and looked like a man of the sea. Maybe he’s a fisherman.

“This sea is full of monsters! Some of them come up on land like that turtle! Come over here quickly!”

The uncle urged us loudly so we followed his instructions. We soon came across a barricade made of stones and dirt that covered the entire beach. On the other side of the barricades, there is a kind of turret that apparently keeps an eye on this beach. We climbed the ladder and descended to the other side, where the uncle finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“How on earth did you guys get onto the beach? As you can see, this place should be completely sealed off!”

Of course, I can’t explain that we descended from the sky via the airship. But instead of covering up, I ask,

“More than that, Ojiichan, has the sea here been like this for a long time?”

“Of course not! It used to be a beautiful sea, and the fishing industry here is thriving but, w-wait!….. B-b-baby…. a baby just taaalked!?”

It seems that this sea has been flooded with monsters only recently huh.

“We are adventurers from the city called Vegaltia.”

“Vegaltia…. you mean, the well known sanctuary of adventurers……?”

“Yes. You see, babies there can talk.”

“……Hey! There’s no way that’s true. Don’t just make up random stuff.”

Anje was dumbfounded, but the uncle was a little convinced, he even muttered, “Is that so……?”

“If you don’t mind, tell us more about this situation. We might be able to do something about it. We are all A-rank adventurers, so I’m sure we are capable enough.”

“A-rank!? At such young age……”

“It must be hard not being able to fish properly, right?”

“Ah? Oh, yes, that’s right. With the sea in this state, there’s no way for us to go fishing. The port was even closed down… This beach used to be a popular swimming beach spot too…”

“Ojiichan, what did you say just now!?”

“Ah? This beach used to be a popular swimming beach spot….…”

Apparently I hadn’t heard wrong.

I clenched my fists and declared,

“Don’t worry, Ojiichan, we’ll take care of it!”

“R-really?”

“Yes! Leave it to us!”

『You seem pretty motivated, but of course it’s for the people who are struggling because they can’t go fishing, right?』

(Of course it’s all for this swimming beach spot!)

“What? You are leaving this city?”

I had come to the guild master’s office of the adventurer’s guild. My purpose was nothing more than this. I had come to inform him that I intended to leave this city, which had been my base of operations for a while, soon. Of course, there was no need for me to go out of my way to tell him this, but I owed him a lot of help after the incident the other day.

I nod my head in response to Ark’s question, which surprised the guild leader.

“Yes. Well, if I’m in this city, I am going to cause trouble for you again because of my family affairs.”

“Didn’t I tell you that you didn’t have to worry about that?”

“Of course, it’s not all because of that. In fact, just the other day, I went to my research institute in my previous life…… Well, all the dangerous research materials and items from back then were gone.”

“You mean…… the tower of Great Sage? I never thought there is really such a place….…”

It seems that the existence of the Tower of the Great Sage is not well known in this era. Some even considered it as a myth.

“Mmm. I don’t know how it came into the Brazel family’s hands, but the magic sword that was possessed by the demon the other day was something I made in my previous life.”

“What did you say!? A great sage even make a magic sword like that……?”

(Uh-, I’m sure it was one of the forbidden items though.)

『Was that created by Master……?』

(Oh, didn’t I tell you Linlin?)

『I haven’t heard of it.』

That’s why I secretly collected it and still store it in my subspace.

“However, that magic sword was still on the low level danger category. There are many more dangerous ones…… and of all them are now missing.”

“Uh-….. there is something more dangerous than that!?”

The guild leader was speechless.

“So I wanted to travel around the country and collect as much as I could. I just happened to get an airship.”

“…… Airship? I don’t really know what you mean by that, but if that’s the case, then I’d love for you to find it and retrieve it as soon as possible…!”

The guild leader showed an understanding with a raised voice. He seemed to turn pale suddenly too.

I wonder if it’s really okay though.

『I think Master just doesn’t have a sense of danger.』

(Hey hey, first of all, I’m an adventurer. I’m free to change base you know. No one can stop me from doing that. Of course, we won’t turn away anyone who comes needing help. We can come back whenever we have the chance.)

“Thank you, Guild Leader-ojiichan. Oh, don’t worry, I’ll come back.”

Just as I was about to leave the room, I heard a murmuring voice behind me.

“…… But why Ojiichan…… I’m supposed to be much younger…..”

⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

So we said goodbye to the city of Vegaltia and set off in an airship.

“Master, where are you going next?”

“I honestly don’t think there’s a lot of places where we can make more money than this dungeon.”

“I will follow Master wherever he goes.”

Of course, Fana and the others are with me. In response to their question, I pondered,

“Hmm. Well, I’m thinking of leaving this country, but I haven’t really decided where to go yet. Should we go north or south or west or east……? But, I guess we should start with the sea, right?”

“““The sea?”””

“Yes. It’d be best to go somewhere as warm as possible. Hmmm, in that case, I guess the southern seas would be the best.”

The three of them have a look on their faces wondering why the sea, but I’ve already decided. Because it’s about time I had a swimsuit round!

Blue sea! White sand beaches! Shaking huge breasts! Big breasts that get wet! Big breasts that seem to protrude! Definitely the best!

We couldn’t swim in the lake where the Tower of the Great Sage was located after all.

『……Weren’t you supposed to be going to retrieve the forbidden items?』

Lindwurm was dumbfounded.

(Of course I did not forget that purpose. But now that there is no guess of where they are, the odds of running into one is the same no matter where we head to.)

『That’s true, but …….』

(So let’s head for the southern seas, and set off now! Full speed ahead! Yay!)

“Hey, you’re back! All of a sudden those puppets flew off at such high speed that it surprised me! You must have done something, right!? .…Wait, you looked really depressed huh.”

After investigating the top floor, I went back to Fana and the others.

“Treasure…… my treasures…… uuuu……”

None of my treasured R18 collection remained. It’s natural to be depressed.

“Master, you didn’t find the treasure?”

“That’s a pity… It was certainly hard to get here, and with such a large tower, it’s only natural that there would be a treasure or two…..”

“Mmm, Master, cheer up.”

“……Thank you, Oneechan.”

My disciples of this era comforted me.

『Master and the girls have completely different understandings of what treasure meant, wouldn’t it be better to explain it?』

(Oi oi, you shouldn’t be saying something so rude, you know?)

“Thanks to you guys, I’ve gotten a lot more cheerful! And now that I think about it, I have even more wonderful treasures!”

“……What are you talking about?”

“Of course, I’m talking about you, Oneechans!”

I dive into the chest of the three of them in turn.

(Guhehehehe…… Yes, I have the wonderful privilege of being able to enjoy girls in the flesh now! Compared to that, the collection at that time was not a big deal!)

『This perverted old man!』

(No, I’m not an old man now! Back then I was an old man with a strong libido, so I had no choice but to release it through my collection. But now I don’t need to rely on that anymore! I’m just a baby after all! I’m glad I was reincarnated after all~~~~!)

『……』

(Oh, oi, Linlin!? Stop scratching my head with your tip!)

However, it wasn’t just the treasured R18 collection that was missing. As Lindwurm said, everything was gone.

(Is it because of Eudemos?)

『No, that man would have left it in the tower as it was at that time.』

(Well, I guess so.)

I guessed that after Eudemos was banished from the tower, he then returned after successfully turning his body into a slime. But by that time, the Tower  of Great Sage had already been disbanded, and research materials had likely been lost during that time frame.

(So now it became clear why puppets were used to recreate the scene of that time.)

『That’s true. If the Tower of the Great Sage was still standing at that time, they would have been able to repel Eudemos and the other intruders.』

I don’t know how the organization disappeared because there is nothing left. I’ve completely erased Eudemos, but I wish I had kept a part of him and asked for more details……

Well, he was a person who had been banished from the tower, so I wouldn’t have expected much from him anyway.

(Anyway, it’s certainly true that it may be a serious matter that so many things are missing.)

『That’s what I’ve been saying all this time!』

In particular, forbidden spells and items that were stored in a special warehouse that was under strict management were all lost as well when I peeked there earlier.

(If things go badly, they could be misused somewhere. Come to think of it…. we disposed of that black magic stone last time, but there should have been research materials there… Though, out of all the forbidden items, that is still a much better case.)

On the other hand, there may be even more dangerous forbidden items out there somewhere, what more, they’re uncontrolled..….

(……Hmmm, but seeing as the world hasn’t been destroyed yet, I think it’s probably going to be okay.)

『Isn’t that too optimistic?』

(I don’t even know where it is anyway, I can’t do anything about it you see.)

After that, we boarded the airship again and headed back to Vegaltia.

Eudemos, who has turned into a slime, jumps at me.

“Aristotereuuuuus! How unfortunate for you to come here with that fragile baby body of yours! Dieeeeee!”

“But hey, I’m more than capable of fighting you with this body, you know. Flame Serpent.”

“What!?”

I immediately cast an attack spell. A fiery serpent was released and engulfed Eudemos’ body. But the next moment, Eudemos sprang out, dispersing the flames as if nothing had happened.

“Eh? That’s a flame though.”

“Hahahahaha! It’s useless! This body can nullify magic!! Dieeeee!”

I fend off Eudemos’ attack. Eudemos crashed into the wall and bounced back to attack again.

“I see. It nullifies magic you say huh. But still, that’s impossible.”

I dodged Eudemos’ attacks and deployed six different magic circles at the same time. They are all different attribute magic, but I merged them into one.

“I told you, that’s useless! Magic doesn’t work on me, you know!?”

“By forcibly fusing the magic with opposing attributes, a special energy is created that can obliterate all kinds of objects, and that’s the strongest offensive magic I’ve created.”

Even if they were all the same attribute type, casting six magic spells at once required some advanced technique. Furthermore, fusing magic spells that normally repel each other is not an easy task. It was difficult to use magic in this baby’s body until now, but thanks to the daily training, it seems that it can finally be activated.

“——Complete Annihilation Magic”

The next moment, Eudemos’ body was wiped out without a trace.

“Sigh. He made me use this kind of magic.”

『…… Master, be careful. The enemy’s presence is still here.』

“Eh?”

Immediately afterwards, the puppet that resembled me, which had been lying on the floor for a while now, stood up with a leaping force. In an instant, its form transformed into that of Eudemus.

“Hahahahahaha! As expected of Aristotereus! But it still won’t work on me! Why? That’s because all the puppets in this tower are part of my body! In other words, unless you destroy all the bodies scattered throughout the tower, you won’t be able to defeat me!”

“Geez, that’s a very troublesome characteristic.”

But, well, since the secret was revealed, there is a way to do it. I raised Lindwurm high into the air.

“—Spherical Forced Suction Magic”

As soon as I cast the spell, a jet-black sphere appears above my head.

“Huh!? M-my body…… it’s being sucked in!?”

The body part of Eudemos, who was the closest, crashed into it at breakneck speed.

“W-what the hell is this?! I can’t escape!?”

That’s not all. The puppets that were wandering around this tower flew in one after another and were sucked into the black sphere.

“There are quite a lot of them huh.”

Before I knew it, it had become a huge mass with a diameter of 10 meters centered on a black sphere. It was this big, even though it was heavily compressed.

“Hmmm, is this all there is? Well then, this time, it’s for sure.”

“S-stop! Stop iiit! I don’t want to disappear yet!”

“No, you’ve lived enough. Goodbye.”

“Nooooooooooooo——”

Eudemos’ desperate cry is interrupted in the middle and silence returns. The puppets had disappeared without a trace.

“No…… There’s nothing left…..”

I thoroughly examined the top floor where my office is in, in my previous life and slumped my shoulders in despair.

“My entire erotic collection is gone?! I hid it all properly, so who the hell took it!?”

『Is that what you’re infuriated about? Isn’t it much more serious that all the research materials, magic books, magical tools, valuable items and materials from that time were lost?』

“Huh!? A-Aristotereus!? N-no, that’s not possible….…”

When I revealed my identity, Eudemos began to panic.

“It’s true though.”

“A-are you saying you rejuvenated!? No, I’m sure I heard you say in your past life…. I’ve heard that you’re doing research on reincarnation magic…… Don’t tell me…. you succeeded!?”

“That’s right. So why are you still alive at this age? Ah, but I think the word “alive” is a wrong word to use, right? Because your body is clearly not that of a human being.”

“…… Ku,kukuku.”

Suddenly, Eudemos starts laughing.

“Ahahaha! I’ve been living since then! By completely transferring my brain and spirit to this special body!”

Perhaps that body is similar to an immortal creature such as a slime. Certainly, if we transfer our memories and souls to such things, it is not impossible to live forever.

“You, on the other hand, have died once! This is a proof that I am better!”

Given how he kicked the puppet that represents me earlier, he may have some kind of strong grudge against me. Come to think of it, when I told him that I was going to expel him from the tower as a punishment for dabbling in forbidden magic, he got angry and attacked me, didn’t he?

I remember that he was a man with a lot of pride, he swore that it was impossible to banish someone like him. Well, I repelled him easily though.

『Perhaps to avenge the humiliation he felt at that time, he recreated the scene with the puppet. He sat in Master’s chair at the top of the tower and insults the puppet that resembles Master everyday I guess.』

And this wasn’t something he just started doing yesterday or today. Just imagining how long it took him to return and do this is chilling.

“Uh-uhm…… let me tell you, the way you did it, I’ve thought about it once.”

“Huh? W-what do you mean?! No, do you really think that I would be fooled by such a bluff!? If you came up with it, why didn’t you do it!? Or, did you think you couldn’t do it?”

“Of course I could have done it if I wanted to, but I just didn’t do it.”

The reason is simple. This is because the human mind cannot tolerate entering a non-human body for a long period of time. That’s why I gave up on this method and chose the method of reincarnation.

“Hahahaha! It’s no use making excuses like that!”

“It’s not an excuse. You may not realize it, but you’ve long since lost your mind, haven’t you? I mean, you recreated the scene as it was at that time, and you’ve maintained it for hundreds of years, haven’t you?”

Such an imitation would not be possible for a decent person.

“In other words, your mind is no longer like it was when you were a human, and your spirit has been eroded by your immortal body.”

“……W-what are you trying to say? That can’t be…..”

Eudemos, who can’t accept the fact that he has been shown to him, mutters “It can’t be…. it can’t be like that” over and over again with trembling lips.

Let’s push it further.

“Then let me ask you, have you had any major research results since you took over this tower? You are probably so satisfied with your body that you continued to waste your time just making fun of the puppet Aristotereus, haven’t you?”

“N-no……that can’t be……”

The fact that he couldn’t come up with anything concrete to say in response must mean that I hit the nail on the head.

“You were probably pulled along by your immortal body and weren’t worried about achieving zero results. Of course, if you continued doing that, your intelligence would deteriorate too… so it’s already quite impressive that you’re still able to converse like this.”

“It’s not, it’s not……. S-shut up!!”

Eudemos’ face contorts with anger. No, in fact, his body itself begins to squirm and distort. Then, when it takes the form of a slime,

“Kill you, kill you, kill you, kill you, kill youuuuuuuuuu!”

He attacked me while releasing a tremendous murderous aura.

(Amazing! Unlike the statue in that elven village, the size of the chest is perfectly replicated!)

Burying my face in Meltera(puppet)’s chest, I praise the high level of replication.

(Now then, while I’m at it, I might as well take a look at the one below.)

『Enough already, you old pervert!』

However, I have no idea who made this and why.

(Oops, right. From here on out, it’s my own floor.)

When we reached the top of the tower, I talk to Fana and the others,

“Well, I’m going to investigate further ahead. You girls can relax around here.”

“? I’m going too.”

“Why are you saying you’re going alone?”

“Master, if something happens, it will be dangerous.”

The reason I’m planning to leave them behind is none other than because of that. But all of them do not intend to be left behind.

(I mean, I need to get rid of my naughty collection of that time.)

『That’s a shitty reason, Master.』

(No, not at all. It’s really important! I just couldn’t get rid of them back then, so I kept them in a secret room! Ah, please still be there...!)

I’m embarrassed to think that someone would have found them after my death. My sexual preferences would then be exposed.

『……Even if you don’t hide it, Master’s sexual preference is already exposed, you know?』

By the way, to get to my private floor, you have to go through a special door. In order to pass, it was necessary to give the pass code.

「Thou shall recite the spell to pass through here.」

As we approached the door, we heard such a mechanical voice out of nowhere.

“Did the door speak?”

“What did it meant by spell?”

Leaving behind the Fana and the others who tilt their heads in confusion, I convey the words through telepathy.

(Open Sesame)

「…….Thou may pass through.」

The door doesn’t open, but I did not care and just went straight ahead. My body easily pass through the door.

“Oh, see you later~”

I looked back and told them that.

“Wait, wait! Ouch!”

Anje hurriedly chases after me but she crashes into the door and falls butt first. Except for those who have told the secret password to the door, others are not allowed to pass through here.

“Alright, now that I’m alone, I’m going to collect my collection right away.”

『Why don’t you find out the cause of this mysterious decline first?』

“No, the collection comes first!”

『……』

Then I came to my room at the time and witnessed something there.

“I’m here but….”

When I think about it, it makes sense. All of my disciples were recreated as they looked like back then using puppets so it wasn’t strange that there is also a puppet that replicated my former appearance. There was just one thing that was strange though. That was the fact that the “me” is prostrating on the ground. Furthermore, there is a person who is heavily stomping on his head and shouts triumphantly,

“Seriously, you can’t even understand such simple magical theory!? You’re as incompetent as ever! I am shocked you are even called Aristotereus, the greatest sage of the world. Well, I suppose that can’t be helped since I’m a genius far surpassing you in ability!”

He was in his mid-forties. It’s a face that I feel like I’ve seen somewhere…… but I can’t really remember.

“I mean, stepping on an old man’s head is pretty outrageous!”

『Is that what you’re angry about? He’s making fun of a puppet that looks like you, you know?』

“No, it’s just a puppet after all……”

But what the hell is this?

For the first time, I encountered a person who is talking, but could he be the culprit of this strange phenomenon?

“Come on, praise me for my greatness, Aristotereus! Say, Eudemos-sama, you are the real great sage! Come on, say it! I can’t hear you!”

The man who stomps on the puppet that can’t even speak commands with bloodshot eyes.

“Eudemos……? Hmmm, come to think of it, there was a disciple with that name….…”

『Yes. I remember him too. He is one of the disciples who was expelled from this tower for dabbling in forbidden magic research.』

“Oh, yes, that’s right.”

And that’s when he finally noticed me.

“Huh? Who’s there?! ……A baby?”

“It’s been a while, Eudemos.”

I talked to him in a friendly way.

“.….You know my name? You don’t seem like an ordinary baby, do you? Who are you?”

When asked, I pointed to an old man prostrating himself at the feet of Eudemos.

“I’m Reus. But in my previous life, I was called Aristotereus, the Great Sage.”

(Even so, I must say I made quite a troublesome dungeon huh.)

As we conquered the dungeons of the Tower of the Great Sage, I couldn’t help but blurt out. There are a lot of troublesome traps, such as, unending loop traps that will send you back the way you came many times if you don’t take the right route, forced exit traps that will throw you out of the tower, and even rooms that you will have to kill 1,000 monsters to get out.

(At that time, I didn’t think I would end up taking on such trial……)

It was just to keep intruders out, and of course, I didn’t bother to climb up from the ground when I went in and out of the tower before. Still, relying on the memories that I barely remember, we managed to climb the tower.

“Hey, now that I think of if, this is supposed to be your first time in here, right? Then, how come you can avoid the traps so easily?”

“Ah? You should be able to figure out a trap of this level just by looking at it, right?”

It was set up by me in my previous life so it is certainly not a trap that you can figure out just by looking at it. If I was asked to beat it without any of my memories from back then, even I would have a hard time.

“As expected of Master, you’re a great genius.”

“I wonder if that’s really the case though……”

After passing through the dungeon, we finally reached the upper floors of the tower. From this point on, it is the floor that the disciples used for their research, so there should be no more traps.

(I wonder if there are any research materials left. Eh!?)

I was speechless. Because what was spreading before me was a landscape that was not a single bit different from my previous life.

“There are a lot of people.”

“W-wait, what’s going on here!? There’s a city on top of the dungeon!?”

For a moment I thought I was hallucinating. But apparently, Fana and Anje are seeing it too. Somehow, magicians are coming and going, just as they were back then.

(Maybe it’s not just the building, but the organization itself remains?)

『No, that can’t be….…』

Those people seemed not bothered by our surprise, they pass by without looking at us even if we are making a lot of noise. Unbelievably, some of them were familiar faces too.

(Is it possible that only about ten years have actually passed since my previous life?)

『That’s impossible.』

My speculations were brushed off by Lindwurm.

Well, I think so too.

“It smells very strange. It’s not human, it’s a disgusting smell.”

Lill frowns.

“That’s right. They don’t seem to be a human.”

“Eh? They looks exactly like humans though.”

“What do you mean they are not human?”

There was a female magician who was about to pass in front of me at just the right moment, so I lifted up the hem of her skirt as hard as I could.

“Oh, you have a plain face but you’re not wearing any underwear huh.”

“What the hell are you doing!?”

Anje yelled at me. But even though the female magician’s buttocks were exposed, she just walked away without a word as if nothing had happened.

“……No reaction at all?”

“Come to think of it, there are so many people here but I can’t hear a single voice talking……”

“I see. They are not living people huh. They are pretty detailed, but I think they are probably more like a puppet.”

After that, we walked around everywhere, but there were still only silence and the unresponsive puppets. We did not see a single living human being. And it seemed as if they were perfect replicas of my disciples who were in this tower at the time. There were some faces I didn’t remember very well, but it’s not like I remembered all of their faces to begin with. Of course, like earlier, I tried lifting their skirts, touching their butts, and jumping on their breasts and squeezing them but they didn’t get angry at all.

“Hey! How could you do whatever you want!”

Even though it’s a puppet, it’s very exciting to see a familiar face. Haa~haa~.

『……That’s disgusting.』

(Oh-, over there…… Isn’t that Meltera?)

I found a high elf (puppet). I excitedly dived face-first into its chest.

『Guu…… What was that just now….?』

Six wings float behind the statue of the goddess. Lill face contorts as she was struck by lightning from one of them.

“Those wings can cast magic. Moreover, each of the six wings can cast a different kind of magic.”

『How can a statue do something like that……!?』

It’s something I made in my previous life. Its wings come in six colors: red, blue, green, yellow, purple, and black, and each color can cast a different spell, such as a flaming spear, ice arrow, tornado, lightning strike, poisonous rain and a gravitational field.

“J-just how can it wield a sword so fast and still be able to use six types of magic!?”

“…… How do we beat it?”

Even my disciples at the time had a hard time with this statue. I made it so that after fighting a few times, they’d gradually understood the strategy.

(You can’t become a member of the Great Sage’s Tower unless you at least pass this hurdle.)

『So at that time, this was the world’s best magical research facility. But Master, aside from some geniuses, most of them seem to have taken on the challenge and broken through with a large number of people.』

(Eh? Really?)

『You need assistants for your research, and of course, you need staff to support the lives of the magicians here. There were also regular airship services, and frequent travel between the city to city. It’s impossible to store decades’ worth of food in a subspace like Master can after all.』

Uh- I left such details to my disciples……

“Well, I guess I’ll  join in for today.”

Lill can’t deal against it and I don’t think Fana and Anje can go against it right now so I decided to fight with her.

“The theory is to break those wings first.”

I cast multiple spells at the same time to attack the wings of the statue. The trick to destroying them quickly is to use magic with the opposite element, such as water into red wings, fire into blue wings, meteorites into green wings, and so on. However, it is not so easy to hit directly. This is because each of its wings moves freely and takes evasive action.

“However, my attack has tracking function so it’s useless to run away.”

Even if the wings dodged the attack, my magic automatically follows after them quickly. Then, one after another, magic bullets landed, and the wings were chipped away more and more. 

Not wanting to be defeated like this, the goddess statue takes aim at me and attacks, but Lill jumps in from the side.

『I won’t let you do that!』

Lill’s lunge blows the statue away. In the meantime, the statue continues to receive magic, and the wings behind it are already in tatters.

“Let’s attack.”

“Y-Yes! We can’t just watch!”

Fana and Anje immediately attack the overturned statue of the goddess. Almost at the same time as the six wings were completely destroyed, the statue itself seemed to have exceeded its tolerance for damage, and it stopped moving.

(This statue will come back to life later if we leave it alone. But to think it is still working well without being out of service since then…… It really is one of my masterpieces huh.)

『……Are you praising yourself? But Master, I think it is partly because there hasn’t been anyone visiting for a long time.』

After defeating the first difficult enemy, we headed for the upper part of the tower.

　　◇◇◇

“……That party doesn’t look like they are coming back at all, are they?”

Earlier, we fled for our lives and came back, the Tower of the Great Sage. But those who came in immediately after that show no sign of returning.

“Could it be that they are still fighting that statue……? Don’t tell me they defeated it…… No, no, it can’t be. Even we were powerless against it. Then, in the end they have been beaten huh…… No. It’s all because they did not listen to our advice at all.”

Even though we knew the dangers firsthand we told them  that.

“At the very least, let’s retrieve their body. I’m sorry, but can I ask you to do that?”

“…… Got it.”

My friend, who specialize in stealth, enters the tower again. However, he soon returned in a panic.

“What’s the matter? There are no bodies left?”

He shook his head at my question and then replied timidly.

“…… T-the statue of the goddess had been destroyed.”

“Huh?”

“Hurry! We’ll do everything we can to be the first to enter the tower!”

“““Uoooooooooooo!”””

The adventurers rushed towards the entrance.

“They are so desperate. Shall we overtake them?”

“They’ll get ahead of you, is that okay?”

Fana and Anje asked but I shook my head in response.

“……If they’re happy with that, they can do whatever they want.”

Being the first to arrive doesn’t really matter. In the first place, it was me in my previous life who built the tower here. 

“We did it! We’re the first to arrive! But…… how on earth do we open this huge door?”

“Hey, this small door opens just fine! We can get in!”

“Great job! Let’s get inside the tower before they come!”

When they arrived at the entrance, they opened the side door and went in through there.

“Hey, they might steal your treasure, you know?”

“Don’t worry about that.”

“How do you know?”

“Hunch?”

In any case, it would be impossible for them to reach the upper level of this tower. In fact, I don’t think they can even get through the first barrier. 

In fact, the lower levels of the tower were dungeons designed to eliminate intruders. In particular, the first boss monster was deployed right after entering so it wouldn’t be easy to break through.

Then, only a few tens of seconds after those adventurers disappeared into the tower,

“““Gyaaaaaah!!”””

They came rushing out of the entrance while screaming.

“W-what the heck is that monster!?”

“……It’s probably the gatekeeper to keep intruders out! To think that it is still working……!”

“With that thing right after we get in, we wouldn’t be able to go any further, would we?!”

Apparently, they have already turned back. As expected, it was a tough opponent for them.

(It’s meant to eliminate those who have reached this Great Sage’s Tower after all. Those who had trouble just getting there will not be able to break through easily.)

『By the way, now that you have been reincarnated and had a different body, Master himself will not be able to reach the upper level unless you conquer this dungeon, right? 』

(Hey, who do you think I am, Linlin? Even though I’m weaker than I was in my previous life because of my baby body, traversing a dungeon of this size is still a piece of cake for me.)

Leaving the adventurers limp in front of the entrance, we head inside the tower.

“H-hey! I’m not trying to be mean, but you guys should give up too! No, of course, I’m not saying this because I want to get ahead of you! What’s there is more terrifying than any monster I’ve ever encountered! You shouldn’t mess around!”

The adventurer from earlier called out to me from behind, but I of course ignored him.

“Master, that’s what he said.”

“I wonder if he’s okay.”

“Hmph! We should just leave that kind of guy alone.”

Entering through the side gate, we found ourselves in a vast space with several floors of open space. Standing in the center was a huge statue of a goddess over 10 meters high. Clad in armor and a helmet, and equipped with a sword, she could be called a war goddess. Sensing that we got in, its eyes glowed mysteriously, and it began to move slowly.

“I-it’s moving?”

“Golem?”

Immediately afterwards, the statue of the goddess approached at a furious speed. It swings the sword down vigorously.

Zudoooooooon!

“~~uh!? What’s with this thing!?”

“……This is bad.”

“Hou-…… it’s good.”

While Fana and Anje were shocked after barely avoiding the attack, Lill snorted in admiration and asks,

“Master, this body is indeed no good against such opponent. Let me fight in my original form.”

“Go for it~”

Lill’s body grows in size and she regains her original form as Fenrir. With her beautiful silver-white fur fluttering, she charged at the statue as if to fight back, biting its body with her sharp fangs, swinging it vigorously before throwing it away.

“That’s a Fenrir huh…… What a strength……”

“I’m surprised.”

However, the statue of the goddess crashes into the wall, and immediately gets up and reveals six wings on its back.

“Careful, it’s getting serious.”

The next moment after I told her to be careful, a powerful lightning bolt shot from one of its wings, hitting Lill directly.

“~~~~~~~~~~!?”

My name is Ars. I’m an A-rank adventurer. Joining forces with my fellow adventurers, I set out for a certain fantasy land. It is a tower that was once built by the legendary Great Sage, Aristotle. In his later years, he is said to have immersed himself in the study of magic, and it is said that the tower contains research records and magic tools that are far from being reached even to this day.

However, it was said that no one had yet been able to reach the tower.

—Except for us.

“This is it…… the Great Sage’s Tower…… What a height……! I can’t believe that such a structure was built more than a thousand years ago……”

“……The legend was true after all!”

“Haha, this is the discovery of the century! Our name will surely go down in history!”

My comrades let out a voice of excitement and admiration. Right. At last, we have reached the Tower of the Great Sage, which has never been done before. It took a lot of hard work to get to this point. After all, it’s been ten years since we first decided to take on this challenge. 

There was a day were we almost eaten by sandworms many times, and we even hallucinated in the intense heat. A day when we were attacked by a horde of super-belligerent monkeys, and we tried our best to escape. A day when we almost gave up in the face of the terrifying piranhas that inhabited the lake, thinking that there was nothing we could do about it.

We’ve tried it more than 10 times so far, and each time, we’ve stopped halfway through and kept turning back. But we didn’t give up this dream. Every time we failed, we found a way to deal with it, and today, we overcame many trials.

“The entrance seems to be on the other side.”

“Let’s go!”

“Mmm. We’ve come all the way here after all. We need to go inside!”

We couldn’t wait, so we ran to the base of the tower. And then—

“-Uh, someone’s here.”

“What……? there’s someone else here?”

Huuuuuh? There are other people here!? 

Moreover, they are three young women. Two of them still look like they’re in their teens.

“Hoh~, they’ve just come through the desert and lake? That’s pretty impressive!”

And there’s even a baby! 

W-wait, did he just taaalk ……?

“Wh-what’s going on?! This is supposed to be an uncharted territory!? Why are there people here before us?!”

I couldn’t help but hold my head and scream. Then, the baby from earlier said,

“Uncharted Territory? I don’t think so. The Great Sage built the tower, so it’s not uncharted, right?”

Forgetting that the baby was talking, I raised my voice.

“The Great Sage is of course an exception! Since then, there has been no record of anyone reaching this place! We….. we were supposed to be the first…! Do you know how many days, money, and effort it took for us to get here…?! But why…. why did someone come before us……. Aaaaaaaaaah!”

“Uh-uhm.…..sorry about that.”

　◇　◇　◇

It was when we came close to the entrance of the tower.

『Master, someone is approaching us. 』

A little while after Lindwurm’s warning, a group of what appeared to be adventurers arrived.

“Wh-what’s going on?! This is supposed to be an uncharted territory!? Why are there people here before us?!”

One of them looked at us and screamed.

“Uncharted Territory? I don’t think so. The Great Sage built the tower, so it’s not uncharted, right?”

It’s true that this is a place that is not easy to reach, but even so, there were many disciples who came to it at that time, and it is by no means an unprecedented level.

“The Great Sage is of course an exception! Since then, there has been no record of anyone reaching this place! We…we were supposed to be the first…! Do you know how many days, money, and effort it took for us to get here…?! But why…why did someone come before us……. Aaaaaaaaaah!”

However, he begins to mourn as if he has lost his beloved family.

“Uh-uhm.…..sorry about that.”

As I was doumbfounded, he asked in a trembling voice.

“H-have you entered the tower yet……?”

“Eh? Not yet-”

“Oh, I see…… Then—”

Suddenly, the adventurer began to run at full speed towards the entrance of the tower.

“As we’re the first to enter the tower, we’ll be the real first ones to enter heeeere! Everyone, ruuun!”

“““Oooooooh!!”””

In response, his companions rushed out all at once.

“……If you’re satisfied with that, then do as you like.”
