Very strange.
Although Aeltia's level of technology was not advanced, it had entered the Iron Age.
Mining for iron and silver ore shouldn't be a problem.
With such a large ore vein right on Honeyvale Town's doorstep, there was no reason it wouldn't have been mined.

In other words, using the "Three Sacred Treasures" required activating Susanoo fi...

I still couldn't understand how there could be a mine right under everyone's noses in Honeyvale Town.
But the iron sand being pulled up by the magnetic force didn't lie.
The iron reserves in this vein seemed quite substantial!

The Uchiha clan's training grounds, while referred to as a "grounds," were actually a large complex of multi-functional buildings.

I sighed and patted ProGamer_Daddy on the shoulder.
"Take another careful look at the task description."
He opened the game panel and read the task description aloud.
"Construct a temporary residence for the lord that satisfies him?"
"The key lies in the word satisfies," I explained.
"I can somewhat understand how you're feeling," Masashi said.
Pakura turned to look at him.
"Time is something we all walk through. The joys and sorrows, the bitterness and sweetness, once tasted, become nothing more than memories—like waking up from a dream," Masashi continued. "Those who promise to stay with you forever can drift...
