Chapter 347: South Yuguria Empire ④ Wilhelmina
「Dangerous. Dangerous.」
「I’ll carry you so don’t move around. The injury won’t heal.」
It’s ti for us to finally depart from Orfull and head to Alteria.
There is a regular carriage service that runs between the two cities, but I was doubtful whether the harpy would stay still, so we didn’t use it.
「I’m jealous, I want to be carried by Aegir-sama too...... ow, ow, ow...... my head......」
「If the hand shifts a little...... it will go from the ass to the asshole...... how envious.」
Riding on Schwartz is the hungover Celia and the physically inept Alice. Natia is walking on her own.
Sekrit is a little behind, looking a little sullen.
I’m obviously walking and carrying a harpy on my back.
「Heavy? Hungry.」
「You’re as light as a feather.」
Her weight is not a problem at all.
In fact, I can’t even tell if she’s there.
The problem is one of her wings is hurt so she can’t hang on to and she squirms when I lift her by the bum so it’s hard to walk with her.
「Would it be better if you were put on Schwartz? We’re here so Sekrit won’t try anything.」
「No way. Scary. Be eaten. Will be eaten!」
The harpy firmly refuses.
「It’s beco troubleso because you did sothing unnecessary.」
「Hmph, what’s wrong with trying to eat bird?」
Sekrit snorts and turns her head away when Natia blas her.
Yesterday while we having that little situation with the Altair believers, Gido was pounding the inn girl from behind.
With him away from the room, only Celia, Sekrit and the harpy were left.
Celia was drunk and passed though, so it was essentially just Sekrit and the harpy.
When I returned to the room, I saw Celia groaning in bed and fire coming from the back yard.
Sekrit had stacked up bricks, started a fire and even prepared tal skewers.
Beside her was the harpy, rolled up and crying in anguish with a gag in her mouth.
I barely saved her and now the harpy won’t leave my side in fear that Sekrit would do sothing.
This harpy is my woman now, so eating her is out of the question.
Which is why I scolded Sekrit harashly, but this ti she’s the one sulking.
The harpy makes a fuss, Celia holds her head in pain, Sekrit is in a huff, and Alice is wiggling her ass around.
「They’re all too relaxed.」
Natia sighs.
I absolutely agree.
「You too, Aegir. What’s with that hand!?」
She hits with a walnut.
「Piiiih! Ass got touched! Finger inside! Want to mate? Doing it?」
Whoops, I ant to hold her ass, instead my finger slipped into her little slit.
Harpies don’t wear any underwear so it was sort of inevitable.
I pull it out and have the harpy lick it.
Now it’s hard to walk because my dick is erect.
「Geez, what’s with this party...... I’m the only one taking it seriously.」
Natia holds her head worriedly.
「I’m normal.」
「Shut up, perverted brat! You only swing your hips!」
She pitches a walnut at full strength to Gido’s crotch.
Gido curls up in anguish...... he’s still a chick if a walnut’s enough to take him out.
The journey continued for a while without any talking.
Since foot traffic is busy between Orfull and Alteria, the road is well maintained and safe from bandits.
I thought it would be a pretty boring trip until sothing happened.
「I see sothing in front...... cavalry! Lots of them!」
Celia shouts after recovering from her hangover.
I cover the harpy in a blanket, hoping they didn’t co because they found out the truth.
「There are too many for sothing like that! Roughly...... 150 of them!」
「Behind them are a squad of infantry, approximately 600!」
Gido adds to the report.
That definitely isn’t an amount to deal with a harpy.
Maybe we aren’t the targets.
The army marches on the grassland along the road and starts changing formation.
「Are they...... doing a training exercise?」
「Looks like it.」
Just when I thought the small unit was going to break down into even smaller groups, everybody spread out into a horizontal row and created a line of defense.
「They aren’t doing basic training. They’re checking formations in preparation for battle.」
Celia comnts.
「Their quivers are full of arrows. I don’t think they need that for training.」
Anything can happen so maybe that’s so they can react quickly even if they’re in the middle of training.
「Fumu.」
Sekrit, who I thought was sulking in the back, ca to the front before I knew it.
「What’s wrong?」
She doesn’t answer and just stares at the army with her narrow eyes.
「A basic company who will aim to breakthrough the enemy after battle starts and then spread out for an assault...... that’s when enemy reinforcents arrive and they transition to a defensive formation―― is what I suppose they want to do. An ordinary yet steady formula.」
Sekrit continues without looking at us.
「Thirty infantry make one platoon and five platoons join to make one company. They have four infantry companies and one cavalry company. They probably also have one archer company here.」
Sekrit walks forward.
It would be suspicious if we stood still so we follow after her.
「Approximately 150 archers in the rear!」
Just as Sekrit said, the archers make an appearance.
「Next is either cannons or ballistae, and they have six.」
Coming from behind, the ballistae also show up.
Sekrit grins and then rubs the head of the blanket-covered harpy.
「Aaaahー! Will be eaten. Help!」
I told you, don’t do anything unnecessary.
「Lastly, you have the commander and staff officers―― that’ll make for a fine Imperial battalion.」
Right as she finishes her sentence, several individuals wearing fancy clothes on horseback can be seen in the distance.
No matter how you look at it, that’s a high-class commander.
「......what’s going on? Why does the South Yuguria have a Garland Empire army?」
「Don’t ask ,」
Guess she wouldn’t know.
Either way, we know for sure they are forming their army in the sa way as the Empire.
Although the reason is unknown, that is the reality.
「The South Yuguria Empire is a vassal state of the Empire, or perhaps they are receiving support from them?」
When Celia persists on the question, Sekrit pulls a cookie from her pocket and tosses it into her mouth.
「My snack......」
「If so, the soldiers’ equipnt are too crude. It’s also standard for an Imperial army of that size to deploy more cannons rather than ballistae. Besides, I don’t see many headquarters personnel accompanying the commander.」
Sekrit finishes by saying she doesn’t know anything else. Celia moves her remaining cookies to her butt pocket in an attempt to defend it.
One rider splits off from the group and runs forward, shouting to all those on the road.
「To all pedestrians, stand to the left and wait until the colonel-dono passes!」
I don’t want to start any aningless argunts.
We should listen.
「We’re going off the road. Let’s take a short rest.」
While we’re at it, let’s eat lunch.
「I have to make sure I rember......」
Celia tries desperately to morize the opponent’s formation while eating her lunch.
I think a rough approximation is good enough though.
If you’re not careful, the cookie in your back pocket will be stolen again.
In the anti, an extravagantly dressed group―― the commander and his staff rides through.
「Thank you for your hard work.」
「Hurray for Her Majesty’s sword!」
So of the peddlers cheer softly and the commanders silently raise a hand in response.
The person who looks like the colonel also passes by us.
「......hm?」
The man slows down.
His eyes focus on――Sekrit.
「Hey, you stole another one, didn’t you! There’s one less!」
「If you’re frustrated, try catching the culprit in the act.」
The man looks dubiously as Sekrit gets suspected by Celia.
Is he an acquaintance of hers?
I’m getting a bad feeling about this, especially with how closely similar their army is to the Empire.
「Hmmm.」
The man tilts his head and slowly gets closer.
Judging by his expression, he doesn’t seem entirely sure, but the chance of him figuring out is high if he gets a close look.
It’s too late to hide her face and it’ll be too suspicious.
What should I do?
「Follow my lead.」
All of a sudden, Sekrit pounces and clings to .
「Darling, say aaahn.」
When I turn around, she feeds a sausage.
She’s speaking in a coaxing voice unimaginable from her usual tone.
Celia and Natia were also taken aback.
「Oh, sorry for troubling you.」
「No, it’s okay. I’ll be having so too~」
Sekrit bites the other end and we both work our way to the center until our lips et.
「Nchyuchu......」
「Ngh...... nng.」
We smoothly transition into a passionate kiss.
「Haa, haa...... I love you darling, You’re really so precious to . I love you more than anything in this world! I want to do anything to make you happy.」
「Sa here...... err, honey.」
I was about to say Sekrit.
That was close.
「Let’s make lots of love when we reach Alteria. This is our honeymoon after all.」
「Yeah, we should. We’ll do it all day.」
Sekrit blushes, hides her mouth with both hands and twists her body.
She’s cute even though I know she’s acting.
I really want to push her down now.
「H-how scary.」
「I also felt a chill up my spine......」
「You’re so cool, darling.」
「You’re cute, honey.」
When the colonel sees us holding hands, he shakes his head.
「......how ridiculous. How could I mistake this lewd woman for that general? I must be fatigued.」
Having lost interest, the man leaves.
「If you two are going to flirt, do it in an inn. Don’t you understand what decency is!?」
One of the colonel’s aides rebukes us.
「My apologies. She’s too cute.」
「I’m sorry. He’s too handso.」
The aide doesn’t say more and moves on his way.
We sohow get off the hook.
The Altair army leaves.
「......now we know for certain that there is sobody from the Garland Empire in South Yuguria.」
Celia comnts harshly.
「Right. Do you rember that man?」
Sekrit snorts uninterestedly and takes a bite out of a cookie.
Celia, she got another one from you.
「No. I don’t rember every commander I et.」
She’s back to her usual tone.
I liked her when she was cute.
「Anyways, that person knew who Sekrit-san was. What does this an?」
I don’t know, Gido.
「In any case, the enemy has an army in the sa manner as the Empire and a commander from the Empire who knows Sekrit. That’s what it ans.」
There’s aning in coming here just for this knowledge.
I have to tell Leopolt and the others.
Celia furiously writes in her notepad.
In that opening, she loses another cookie.
「Kuku, being born in the Federation and then fighting the Federation, now I’m betraying the Empire and fighting the Empire? What a dramatic life.」
Sekrit laughs as she bites on a cookie.
「It’s not a guarantee that we’ll fight against South Yuguria. That’s why I ca here to make sure of.」
When I say that, a nasty smile forms on Sekrit’s face and she peeks in my direction.
「Is that so? Do you believe in your heart after looking at this country that there is a future without fighting?」
I accept the gaze from upfront and don’t say anything.
「Fufufu, I’m looking forward to it.」
Sekrit pushes the half-eaten cookie into my mouth and walks away humming.
「I don’t really want to fight a beauty though.」
I munch on the cookie that tastes like Sekrit.
「Ah!? Aegir-sama is an too! That was my last one!」
Celia looks at with tears in her eyes.
Crap, now it looks like I’m the one who stole her cookie.
「When we reach Alteria, I’ll buy you a mountain of them, so don’t sulk.」
「Also, even though it was acting, you were flirting with that woman!」
I embrace the pouting Celia.
「A harpy behind and Celia-san in front. Almost like a babysitter.」
Gido jokes. Now don’t make expose your cheating.
「Pff, that’s funny when I think about it.」
Natia chuckles.
「His body is big...... so it’s a little...... strange.」
Alice, you too?
「Whatever, let’s go now.」
I slap the nose of the neighing Schwartz and walk forward.
South Yuguria Empire – Capital: Alteria.
Alteria is in the sa situation as Orfull, only at a larger scale.
Within the huge city, people and shops crowd the streets, and hawkers as well......
Construction of residential buildings and shops continue even now.
When I stroll about the city, I receive invitations to work not only for the hawkers, but laborers as well as bar waiters, brothel bodyguards and various others.
The city is full of people and shops who want everything.
Even so, the price of the food products are extrely low.
Nobody struggles to feed themselves, and they all are either working or starting their own businesses.
This place can be considered a utopia.
「There are plenty of theatres here. There are notice boards on every street corner.」
Orfull had theatres here and there too.
And similarly there are speakers orating gallantly in front of the notice boards.
Most likely all cities in South Yuguria are the sa.
“Our brave soldiers don’t yield, not even if the enemy has ten tis their numbers――”
It is written that a sowhat large group of bandits was exterminated.
“That farmhand struggled for three days and nights with the lands covered in ash before him and finally――”
This one is about a farr who cleared the fields of ash.
「Shall we return to an inn?」
Alteria is the capital and largest city of South Yuguria, and honestly doesn’t seem likely to have anything else for us to gain after what we learned in Orfull.
The only difference is the number of flags, with flags that look like the national flag raised up in every farm village and all over the city of Alteria.
Buildings owned by the nation obviously had them, but many shops have personally hung up flags too.
This scene is not a common one in other countries.
「So will we head to Vandolea next?」
Celia asks after buying a great amount of cookies.
「......I guess.」
At that ti, the atmosphere of the city changes.
While the noise remains the sa, the hawkers have stopped yelling, and everybody is looking in the sa direction.
「Is there a fight?」
「Should I take a look?」
However we soon realize the reason before Celia is sent for scouting.
「Is it true? Her Highness?」
「She’s going to give a speech?」
「Leave the store!」
I hear “Majesty”, “speech”, and “Wilhelmina” in bits and pieces from the nearby murmuring.
So Wilhelmina is in Alteria.
And now she’s going to say sothing to the people.
I can’t miss this.
We stop moving around the city and follow the flow of the citizens.
The place we end up at is a large temple―― the place where Altair and Remia lived.
Now it seems to be used as the central pillar of a new country.
The crests of the forr nation of Altair have been erased and there are traces of statues being taken down as well.
I’m expecting Wilhelmina to co out of the temple and what do I get? So gaudy-looking soldiers.
I’m not interested in n.
「All hail the emperor of South Yuguria, Her Majesty Wilhelmina!」
As soon as the declaration was made, multiple flags get raised around the temple.
Trumpets blare and each soldier raise their own flags too.
In the blink of an eye, the temple was filled with the sa flag.
The crowd of spectators stir and cheer repeatedly, celebrating Wilhelmina and South Yuguria.
Even I, soone unrelated to this nation, am feeling slightly excited from the countless flags and triumphant horn playing.
And then finally Wilhelmina, wearing a pure white dress, makes her appearance.
「「「「Uooooooooooh!!」」」」
A trumpet blasts resounds and the masses beco rowdy.
After Wilhelmina slowly looks around, she holds up her hand and swiftly draws it to her chest.
That imdiately stops the trumpets and quiets the populace.
「They’re well disciplined.」
「It would be nice if our sserschmitt listened to instructions like that.」
Sekrit and Celia comnt softly.
sserschmitt is worthless and doesn’t always obey Pipi after all.
Wilhelmina opens her mouth.
「We have won again. Our brave soldiers have expelled the fanatics and outlaws from another ten cities, our brave farrs have revived thirty villages buried in ash.」
Loud cheers erupt.
「Elphyton is my hotown! Hurrah for the revival! Hurrah for Her Majesty Wilhelmina!」
「The shitty thieves of Romule were hanged! Hahaha, they got what they deserved!!」
So the citizens also know.
I guess the speakers’ proclamations are updated quite frequently.
Regardless, she has such a pretty voice.
I like how I don’t feel any arrogance in her tone...... it’s the sa as when she talked to before.
「The benefits from the victory will be equally distributed to everyone in Alteria.」
The masses fall completely silent.
Now what?
「500 hos will be completed next month and will be given to families with more than two children at no cost. Furthermore the price of wheat will be reduced by half.」
This is sothing the citizens don’t know.
Vigorous cheers start raging.
「That’s certainly incredible...... but what is her source of funds?」
Celia tilts her head.
I unconsciously stroke her cheek when I feel so similarity with Adolph.
I hope she doesn’t beco a person who throws numbers into her conversation.
If what Wilhelmina says is true, then that’s really amazing.
At first residences were given for free in Rafen too, except this is on a different scale.
Right now, Alteria appears to have more citizens than even the capital of Goldonia.
「You first start with the good.」
Sekrit sneers as she whispers.
I don’t really like that smile of hers.
She’s been smiling nastily like that so much ever since we got here.
「We have suffered due to plague and tyrannical rule. We have lost many things. Now is the ti to take things back.」
During the cheering, a small child and a married couple appear.
「The father of this child died from disease and the mother was killed by Libatis bandits.」
Sad sighs and resentful shouts can be heard from the crowd.
「The child of this couple was taken away to be sacrificed to Altair.」
Wilhelmina pushes the back of the child, urging the child to walk towards the couple.
「The orphan and couple who lost their child have now just beco a family. Blood relations are trivial...... everyone, my precious subjects―― are my brethren after all.」
What a good speech, I’m moved.
The woman in the couple is especially pretty...... I want to give her a child too.
The people cheer and applaud.
「Hey kid...... good for you.」
「Live happily with your new family!」
「We’ll have to protect you so that kind of thing doesn’t happen again!」
「Uuu...... I’m so happy......」
Alice is also deeply moved.
Sekrit remains smiling in the sa nasty way.
「Bringing the public to tears and making them emotional......」
Wilhelmina’s expression instantly changes.
「However, the good is not the only thing awaiting us in the future.」
The place once again quiets down.
「Those who wish misfortune on us are waiting hungrily for an opportunity to strike!」
And who might that be?
「There are evil beings who take advantage of our suffering and turn it into their profit. They surely do not regard this country, which is beginning to grasp stability and happiness, in a positive light. ――and that enemy’s na is......」
「「「Libatis!」」」
The masses answer collectively.
「All to make a common enemy.」
Did Sekrit say sothing?
If that story is true then Libatis is inexcusable.
「This country of ours is growing in prosperity because of everyone’s hard work and loyalty...... but the riches Libatis has squeezed from us is enormous!」
I’m sure it was.
Libatis is formidable.
「Colossal funds nurture a powerful army, and lands unravaged by war or disease will bring about a bountiful harvest―― it must be acknowledged. Libatis is strong. If we fight them now, we will lose!」
Unrest washes over the public.
How could this be?
If they are being targeted by an opponent who they’ll lose to in a fight, they’ll have to do sothing quick.
「Libatis is not the only enemy we have! The city states across the river are accepting the proposal for peace. That ans they will turn into our enemies depending on the circumstances!」
On top of that, they have more enemies?
Isn’t that big trouble?
I think the city states don’t form peace treaties with any country outside their borders, but that doesn’t matter now.
「And to our north, we have the mighty Goldonia! Everyone is aware that they used the mountain calamity to their advantage and cut away part of our territory!」
With the increasing number of threats, the citizens express their grief.
「Those guys go against good faith for invading during a natural disaster!」
「Get it together, Aegir-sama! That’s you they’re talking about.」
I rember now that Celia ntions it.
「Right, I did that.」
I was drawn into Wilhelmina’s speech without even knowing it.
「Fan the fears in the emotionally charged people――」
Sekrit smirks in amusent.
「But there is hope. It doesn’t co from the wit of an average person like . It originates from the devotion of each and every one of you!」
Wilhelmina’s voice grows one level in volu.
The cuteness in her voice has been concealed and she’s now hollering like a monarch.
Well, she’s the emperor so of course she’s going to act like one.
「If we can’t beat an enemy today, we need only win tomorrow! Whether it be a despotic regi, a catastrophic event, or an epidemic, all of you have survived, and there is no reason you can’t win against those people who have only lived in peace! For that reason, the army is steadily being strengthened. Our courageous soldiers will defend our country. Currently our army has not suffered defeat since its inception!」
Cheers practically explode from the masses and so even shed tears in delight.
「Then show a light of hope to the terrified people.」
Sekrit mumbles.
「South Yuguria has not fought even once so of course they’ll have zero wins and zero losses.」
Celia also makes a comnt.
「What is needed is unity as strong as steel and an iron will! For that, I will enact new laws, all to protect us from the enemy and all so we can live!」
The law is being read out, however it doesn’t sink into the minds of the frenzied citizens.
「The first is for all males over 16 years of age to be ready to join the army at any ti by order of the nation. The youngsters will swear to protect the weak, just like that child!」
The cheering doesn’t stop.
「Next is for every household to change residence or occupation in accordance with the order of the nation. An irrational and disorderly city will make it hard to defend. That will beco a benefit to the enemy――」
The cheering swells to even greater heights.
「S-she said so pretty outrageous things...... yet the citizens welcod it.」
Celia says astoundedly.
That can’t be allowed to pass.
「What are you saying, that’s needed to protect everyone.」
「That’s right, so extent of tolerance is needed to protect a large group of people!」
「Mm...... gotta do...... my best.」
The opinions of myself, Gido, and Alice match.
I can’t explain the theory behind it, but Wilhelmina’s enthusiasm has moved my heart.
「Eh!?」
「What are you saying?」
Celia and Natia are surprised for so reason.
「A person whose heart has been shaken cannot make proper decisions. That woman’s got guts, she’s a wonderful instigator.」
Sekrit is the only one who mutters like it doesn’t concern her.
「Now, I look forward to everyone’s allegiance.」
Wilhelmina’s tone goes back to normal and she returns inside the temple.
While the frenetic energy has not died down, several commanders strain their voice.
「Now is the ti to show your loyalty to Her Majesty Wilhelmina. The army is recruiting!」
「Young n will get training. You have a duty to protect everyone.」
It looks like conscription is being done now.
Youngsters rush eagerly to the commanding officers.
「We’re going too!」
「Yes chief!」
We will fight as soldiers and protect the people of this land too.
Now is the ti to apply for the draft.
「Don’t be stupid!」
「Please don’t! I’m sorry, eeei!」
Natia and Celia kick Gido and I respectively in the crotch.
Their legs accurately hit our balls.
「Guoh.」
「Gyaaaaah!!」
That woke up.
What was I doing again?
「I also...... have to do sothing......」
Alice still hasn’t snapped out of it.
「Hey, wake up.」
I hug Alice and poke her asshole with a finger.
「Ahiiin! Hah...... what was...... I......」
She’s back to her senses.
Gido is......
「Sorry, that was excessive.」
Gido’s foaming at the mouth and has passed out after that kick.
He still doesn’t have enough training.
Anyways, now we know one more thing about South Yuguria.
Wilhelmina’s speaking ability is incredible.
If soone as intellectual as gets turned into such a sorry state, then the ignorant people have no chance at all.
In the worst case, this could be even more annoying to deal with than the Altair of the past.
Sekrit retorts mockingly.
「You’re in the sa simpleton class though. In any case, that speech was sothing else. She can do anything she wants with those foolish citizens.」
I was called an idiot.
Celia bites back imdiately.
「Don’t call Aegir-sama an idiot! Aegir-sama is just not as skilled at using his brain!」
Celia’s such a good girl.
She’s always on my side.
「Are we chasing?」
「...... don’t know...... maybe not.」
Shall we go back to the inn?
Evening――
I sit alone against a tree near the plaza where I heard the speech during the day.
The recruiting has finished and nobody is here anymore.
Plants are growing in this place and it looks like a small forest despite it being within the city.
Seeing a destroyed stone in the middle, I can guess a large idol of so sort used to be placed here.
I can see the balcony where Wilhelmina stood.
Of course the security is very tight so it’s impossible to get close.
I can only watch from afar.
I’ve already achieved my objective of coming here.
Will the South Yuguria Empire beco a threat or will they start a war?
This journey was supposed to determine that.
「I would have liked to talk with Wilhelmina.」
I know it’s impossible.
A feudal lord like can’t freely talk to her whenever I want, and to begin with she said I was an enemy in her speech.
「I guess I’ll go back.」
When I was about to stand up, I see a figure up on the balcony.
I strain my eyes but I can’t see anything at this distance.
That white dress should belong to Wilhelmina though.
「Can I talk to her?」
Should I yell? No, she won’t hear from here.
If I get closer―― I’ll be suppressed by the guards at once.
When I was thinking that, sothing rests on my head.
「Piih! Don’t leave . Will be eaten!」
Oh, it’s that harpy.
Now that I check, her wing which was supposedly broken has now healed.
It must be because of Natia’s ointnt.
「Stupid, if soone saw you flying around the city―― no, this is perfect timing.」
I take out paper and pen from my pocket.
Even though Celia gave it to a long ti ago, the paper has stayed blank and the ink of the pen is full.
“It’s been a while. -Hardlett”
I scribble a single line and give it to the harpy.
「Don’t let the guards see you. Go up high.」
「Got it. Afterwards. at, at.」
I’ll let you eat as much as you want.
The harpy zooms up to the balcony in a swift motion.
If she goes high enough, she’ll be seen as a black kite.
The harpy safely drops the letter from directly above Wilhelmina.
The figure I assu to be Wilhelmina sees the harpy and pulls back in surprise.
If guards get called, I’ll have to run.
The harpy can fly and get away too.
I was waiting for the mont except Wilhelmina doesn’t flee.
A mont later, the harpy descends toward her.
Almost simultaneously the nearby guards move away from the balcony.
Did Wilhelmina send them away?
「Letter. Said to deliver.」
The harpy ca back with a letter from Wilhelmina.
Her gaze seems to be directed roughly at too.
I can’t be sure, but she seems shocked.
“Since that matter, what business do you have?”
She must an the ti with the dicine.
Wilhelmina can’t stay long on the balcony.
I’ll have to jump straight to the issue at hand.
“Are you going to war?”
That should be enough.
I entrust the letter to the harpy.
「Getting dark. Hard to see, hard to see.」
The sun is setting soon.
Harpies can’t fly if it gets too dark.
We don’t have much ti left.
The harpy quickly turns back.
She probably understood what I was asking.
“If necessary.”
That’s it.
“I don’t want to fight with you.”
Send.
“Sa, at the mont.”
A prompt response.
I draw a horizontal line across the words “at the mont” and send it back.
I feel as though she laughed after receiving the letter.
“You don’t have any drive? Are you currently satisfied?”
Strangely, I don’t feel like telling a lie.
It isn’t because we are exchanging pieces of paper which can’t be used as proof.
I just want to tell the truth.
I also believe she would do the sa since she’s participating in this trivial ga.
“I do have sothing driving .”
To et with Lucy, I need to beco king.
I can’t see the entire path yet, but I can’t let everything end here.
“Then our paths will cross and only one path will continue.”
Wilhelmina returns in the temple.
「Can’t see. Can’t fly.」
The sun has set. Ti’s up.
「This is the last one. Do your best.」
“When everything’s done, won’t you spend one night with ?”
I think Wilhelmina just slipped.
“If that is what the future holds.”
Wilhelmina returns into the temple and I hide the harpy under my cloak.
That concludes our talk.
When we get back to the inn, I give the harpy sausages and alcohol.
「Aegir-sama, in regards to our schedule, we can go east from Alteria through the road――」
I pat Celia’s head to cut her sentence short.
「No need. Let’s go back to Rafen.」
「Eh? We still have to look at the other cities and decide how much of a threat this country――」
I shake my head.
「I have my conclusion. This nation will go to war with Libatis and will eventually attack Goldonia. We need to prepare the greatest counterasures as precaution...... further investigation will be a waste of ti.」
「......is that so?」
Celia and Gido nod ekly.
Natia and Alice, who do not like combat, make sour faces.
「I see, war huh? That sounds good.」
Sekrit is the only one pleased to find out.
「This is yum. Really yum. Piihー!」
