The Zebrudia Empire. One of the world’s most powerful countries, with its territory built on vast earth veins, and is considered the holy land for Treasure Hunters, the country is home to countless Treasure Shrines, and it is said that if you have the abilities, you can obtain wealth, fame, and power, all there is to it.
I have heard stories about that country for a long time. Conversely, the city is so famous that its reputation can be heard all the way to the distant citadel of Terrace.
However, I never thought I would actually end up in a place like this. I, Saya, had to call in skilled Hunters from the neighboring countries just to make time available to participate in the Level 9 Certification Exam. The Magic Realm of Terrace is not sweet enough that the only Level 8 can stay away for so long.
In the first place, going to Zebrudia is not realistic given the distance.
That is why, being able to visit here is probably a once-in-a-lifetime stroke of luck.
A particular dizziness that occurs when using a Teleportation Magic Circle.
I, Saya Kuromizu, the 《Little Witch (Yaen Saiden)》, a provisional Level 9, have arrived in the Imperial Capital of Zebrudia.
The Magi who have gathered to activate the Magic circle look at me, who has been teleported here, half in awe and half in curiosity. I let out a small sigh and clench my fist.
“So this is…… The Zebrudia Empire.” (Saya)
“Thanks for coming, 《Little Witch (Yaen Saiden)》. The Zebrudia branch of the Explorer Association welcomes you, Saya Kuromizu.” (Gark)window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "67b6a3f059969b0665825541", id: "pf-13793-1"})
The one who says that to me is a large, bald, tattooed man with a wild smile on his face, standing in front of me, as if waiting for me. Gark Welter, the Branch Manager of Zebrudia’s branch of the Explorers Association. A former Hunter, he is also the one who invited me to the Imperial Capital of Zebrudia.

“Thank, for the welcome. “Branch Manager Gark (Gark-shibucho)”. I will be careful not to cause too much trouble, so don’t worry.” (Saya)
“I don’t mind if you rampage a little. It will be a good stimulus. A Level 7 from Neburanubes came the other day, and well, it seems like it was a good stimulus. Just be careful not to kill them.” (Gark)
As expected of Zebrudia, the blood in the Hunters is quite hot. The Branch Manager has given his stamp of approval, so there shouldn’t be any problems unless I rampage too much. And I generally don’t use force unless I am attacked.
Above all, now is a bad time. Having overcome one hurdle during the Level 9 Exam, my 『Sarasara』 is now in a slightly unstable state.
As I nod with a serious expression, “Branch Chief Gark (Gark-shibucho)” shrugs his shoulders and says.
“It’s a city where Hunters from all over the world gather. You may not have a lot of time, but please take your time to look around. If you need anything, come to the branch office.” (Gark)
§
After the Level 9 Certification Exam, I, Saya Kuromizu, provisionally passed.
I was hardly active during the exams. All I managed to do was capture the two “Fox (Kitsune)” bosses. I have some thoughts about being promoted to Level 9, even surpassing 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》, who had completed the main mission all by himself, but the biggest problem is the reason why it is only provisional. Ꞧ𝘼ℕȯᛒΕṠ
It is because 『Sarasara』 is thought to pose a certain danger. That is certainly something that makes sense if you ask me.
Sarasara is an unknown ability. I don’t even know who the people who are on my side are. They have always stood by our clique and have always been our ally. That is why I continued to use it. As a result, I reached Level 8.
However, it is certainly true that they do not completely follow my orders. To put it in a good way, they act flexibly, but to put it in a bad way, they move selfishly. Essentially, all I can do with them is see them. See them as they appear at night.
That is――Until that moment during the Level 9 Exam, when the words of 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》 gave me a clue and forced me to activate my power in the morning.
Since then, my eyes have become much stronger than ever. Maybe by activating my ability on a sunny morning, I have broken through one of my walls and grown in strength.
I wasn’t present at the review board committee, so I don’t know the details of their exchange, but it seems that “Branch Manager Gark (Gark-shibucho)” said this to the review board committee, who were discussing and expressing their concerns about the danger of it.
New novel chapters are published on freewёbn૦νeɭ.com.
He said that perhaps I could find a clue to control Sarasara’s powers in the Imperial Capital of Zebrudia, where High-level Hunters and information from all over the world gather.
The proposal was accepted by the review board committee, so I received the provisional Level 9 status and a ticket to the Imperial Capital.
There was concern about what to do for Terrace during my absence, but surprisingly, Kaiser Zigurd, the 《Celestial Dancer (Hagun Tenbu)》, who had taken the Level 9 Certification Exam with me, is going to handle the situation in my place.
I quote 『Hahaha, don’t be shy, just go. What, I’ve always wanted to stand on the stage at Terrace once. I don’t have anything to do in my home country anymore, so I can always go to Zebrudia. As for your hometown, you can feel like you’re sailing on a big boat…… But I hope you don’t resent me if the Hunters at Terrace end up never being able to forget about their hero, Kaiser Zigurd.』 Is what he said…… But that man is actually quite a nice person.
In any case, I have come all the way to Zebrudia with the help of many people. I cannot go home unless I find even one clue.
I leave the Explorer Association branch building, where the atmosphere is a little different from Terrace’s branch, where fighting is constant.
Then I open her eyes.
“Amazing…… So this is, the famous Imperial Capital.” (Saya)
As I step outside the Explorer Association building, I see people spread out before me as far as my eyes can see.
Armed Hunters come and go, roaming the main street, and merchants traveling in large carriages. From people dressed in traveling clothes as if they are here for sightseeing, to students. The bustling crowd under the pouring sunlight looks dazzling to me, who has only ever been to Terrace.
Above all, the people’s expressions are clear. Although things have gotten a little easier after years of fighting, it makes me realise that Terrace is still different from other cities. With all the people coming and going in all sorts of different outfits, I feel somewhat out of place in my navy blue uniform. However, this uniform is one of the few things I inherited from her real parents. I cannot just throw it away.
I shake my head to clear away the pointless feeling, then pull myself together and decide to look around the Imperial Capital.

Thanks for reading! Let’s go, Saya is in the Imperial Capital so we will see more of her! Too bad Kaiser isn’t with her, but Terrace seems like a good place for Strange Grief in their future expedition!
