126 Scattered Beginnings.

By tomorrow's departure, Ain had some work to clean up.

To do the job, Ain't silently headed to his desk in the office after a conversation with Laralua.

Dinner was served in the office, but the job was cleaned up with familiar manners.

—— Conn.

"Yes. Go ahead."

"Excuse me... I brought your desired medical certificate..."

It was Barra who came. In her case, the white clothes come in that outfit, whether it's Ain's office or not, because of the outfit.

"Oh, thank you. Can you bring it over here?

I'm in awe. and reply, Barra proceeding to Ain's side. In his hand, the documents packed in a larger envelope were gripped.

"This one, then, is for Master Krone. And since this envelope is Dear Chris..."

"Yeah, I'll let you check inside later.... Basically, are the symptoms the same?

"It will. High fever and abdominal pain, some people also have headaches, because you two don't have those symptoms."

"Well, like Bhara said, I wonder if I can get better in a week"

"Depending on the course of time, I was wondering if I'd be on my way to comfort in a week"

I was relieved to hear that reply.

Phew, sigh and take your eyes off the paperwork that was on the way.

"Ha... I took a breather here too"

"Good luck. Now I'm sure... it was with Heim."

"Yes, yes. It's a lot of trouble, though."

"... I guess"

The two of them laugh bitterly, and Ain begins to mouth a few public stories.

"I hope he can keep his brother and prince down..."

"... who the hell is that guy?

With a troublesome face, the words Ein uttered. Barra wondered who the person was.

"It's my ex/father. Well, we're talking about other countries, so I'm not going to say that much."

"Oh, oh... I see, was that it? —— Speaking of which, my father was making me struggle too..."

"Hmm? You mean Barra's father?

"Yes, me and May... and my mother, my father made me struggle"

Burra's face, who said so, had a bitter laugh, but a look that seemed complicated.

"Can I ask you something? Speaking of which, I never heard of Barra's father."

"Of course. However, I don't think it's funny to hear it...... Then I will speak with you as you cross the line."

To be honest, I was interested.

I've heard about her mother several times in the past. But now that I think about it, I've never heard of my father.

With all due respect, it's just because I thought it was dead.

"Even so, I haven't really remembered because I went somewhere at a young age"

"Gone somewhere...?

"'Xing woke me up,' he suddenly left us. My mother didn't know what it meant, so I looked for my father for a while... but I couldn't find him."

I laugh bitterly and say it, but its content is quite painful.

"... and then, like, live in Slam Street?

"Yes, no! I was in the slam from the beginning, so my life hardly changed... because I was left swinging."

Ain thought.

I think it's worse than my own father.

Whatever Logus thought, at least, he had enough food for Ain and a place to live.

Compared to those aspects, it's probably better than Barra's father.

"You've had a rough time with each other, it's"

"But then you brought me to Your Highness. That's all. Me and May are happy enough."

"... no inconvenience?

"Oh, isn't that obvious!

Barra shouted out loud near Ain when she heard Ain.

"Oh... but I'm sorry! I'm so excited..."

"It's okay, I'm a little surprised,"

I was surprised by the sudden attitude, but Barra's desperate thoughts were conveyed.

"... we don't want any more. But I'm happy to live here."

"-- yeah, good for you"

"I'm suddenly sorry. This is such a boring story...... so it's time for me to get back to work"

Apologizing as if he remembered, Bhara leaves near Ain and heads for the entrance.

"Bye, Your Highness. Call me anytime if you need anything."

"Yeah, thanks. Then I'll read this medical certificate later.... and can you both give me this letter?

"... I did receive it. I'll give it to you later when I go to check on the progress."

If it's true, I want to go to the room where they rest and pay my respects.

However, since that was not acceptable now, Ain prepared a letter stating that he was worried.

—— Excuse me.

That's what Barra said when she received the letter, and walks away from Ain's office.

"I have all kinds of" fathers "..."

Only the number of people has the shape of a family. Ein listens to Bhara and I guess everyone is having some difficulty...... I realize that.

"Well. Well, let's see if we can find out about the two of you... ever before."

Ain gets up, approaches the window and opens it.

Then the cool wind of the night enters and the air in the room switches. The sky was filled with starry skies, and a beautiful night sky with no clouds extended into Ain's full view.

"I'll wait for you first at Magna. Both of you."

As Ain saw it, a starry sky full of heaven was seen around Ishtarika.

Then a few hours later, on the continent's offshore, the weather had deteriorated like a storm.

The ship leaving Birdland was desperately moving through inclement weather.

"You rock so much..."

"It looks like the weather is bad today. Please be careful."

—— What do you need to be aware of...

The journey to Ishtarika was so daunting that Elena considered those grievances.

On board a wooden ship with no windows.

Elena's room provided there is uncomfortable with uncomfortable humidity and caged air.

But still, the merchant's boat was better built.

If the adventurers were ships, it would be worse than this.

Miscellaneous fish sleep, no toilets, and the materials used on ships are cheap, so the sound of shaking and shaking is harsh.

"I wonder how long it will take..."

"Right...... Probably about half a day."

In half a day, we can get out on the ground. Hearing the words, Elena regained hope.

... To be clear, I was licking my way to Ishtarika, and I shame myself for such ignorance because I didn't think it would be a tough trip so far.

"Okay. Then I can't stand it."

"That's more than anything. Then I'll go back to my room."

"Yep. I'll call you if anything happens, thanks for taking the time."

That's how he leaves under Elena, and when it comes to the room, he goes back to the hard room to convince.

"... I really don't know what that means. I can't believe it's taking so long for Ishtarika's ship to arrive in about a quarter of the time."

With what technology, did you build a ship like that?

I don't know if it explains technical matters, but I'm still interested in what kind of construction it is.

—— Giggy......

"Huh... but also Ugh! It suddenly rocks..."

Turn up the murmuring noise and the ship Elena takes leans heavily.

By proceeding with the rough waves, many waves are pushing against the hull as well.

"How can you not shake at sea? How can you be so quick......!

For some reason I wanted to blame Ishtarika for her technical skills for the poor environment.

It's a meaningless word, but I can't do it without even these voices.

"Eh, Master Elena? I heard something shouting..."

A civilian who had left earlier came to hear Elena's voice.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Surprised by the wobble."

There's no way I can say I was frustrated and voiced, and I transfer responsibility to the big wave earlier.

"Oh, I see. That was a big wave indeed..."

"Right?... Nevertheless, I hear that Ishtarika's ships don't care about these waves either. I really don't know what that means..."

"... indeed, I also feel that Ishtarika is" envious "and" like a paradise "..."

To the extent that the accompanying civilian thought so, Ishtarika's technical skills were fascinating.

"Me too, I've decided to go to bed already. Elena, it might be easier for you to rest."

"... right. I'll do it, it looks better."

Sleep and wake up, it's Ishtarika for a little while.

That made me feel a little more comfortable, and I felt this frustration could be satisfied.

"Goodnight, Master Elena."

"Yep. Good night......"

Seeing the clerk walk away again, Elena wrapped herself in untouched bedding, suppressing her frustrating feelings.

—— Sleep fast and hope it's Ishtarika as soon as you wake up,.

The next time I woke up, I felt terrible.

—— Dong Dong Dong!

From outside the door, the sound of knocking on my room sounds.

I can't wait to hear that noise when I wake up, and I'm not feeling well either because of my uncomfortable bedding.

"What, already..."

swelling, and waking up her body, Elena approaching the door.

"-- who?"

"Dear Elena. We have finally arrived in Ishtarika! We've finally arrived!

—— Huh!?

"Ho, really......!?

I opened the door vigorously and saw the face of a civilian waiting outside.

He looked surprised at how Elena was doing, but still quickly returns his expression and turns into a delightful face.

"Yes! Grab your stuff, let's go outside...... Huh! I haven't seen the morning sun in days!

"Oh, yeah... right!

I want to get out of here early already.

Elena thought so and took her baggage and hurried to her feet towards the deck.

Because Elena has been asleep for a long time, the two of them are delayed from getting out of the ship.

As a result, it seems that the other passengers have already disembarked, and there are no other passengers in the corridor.

"E, Master Elena! Please wait.........!

"Look, you too, quick! I haven't seen the sun in a long time!

Elena keeps going in an upbeat mood with her lack of energy until she goes to bed or the strength of her sleeping body disappears.

Finish down the aisle and start going up the steep stairs at an angle.

"Ugh... that's nice!

My thoughts were sweet. I had that consciousness, but now I want to be glad that I've honestly arrived.

And I want to get a quick sunlight and see the view outside. It was that one heart.

"... Come on, I'll open it"

Finish up the stairs, tree doors visible in front of you.

With her hands on that door knob, Elena never opens that door to her will.

"Dazzling..."

The morning sun stained my eyes for a long time and I couldn't open my eyes very wide.

"E, Master Elena... you're in too much of a hurry!

The chastened civilian speaks so, but Elena just laughs and flushes.

"Oh, the air outside is delicious. I can't believe it was such a good place outside..."

She brings the fresh air outside into her body, laboring her eyes, which she hasn't yet cut open.

Sometimes it's a harbour town, and the scent of the sea breeze is strong, but it's never bad either.

That's how I'm breathing Magna's air, and my eyes are finally getting used to it. At last Elena's eyes begin to open.

"I wonder what kind of town it is. Magna..."

Just in case, put your hand over your eyes to make a shadow.

And in his open eyes, he was the figure of the vastly sprawling port town of Magna.

At first, from the nearby landscape, if you think so and open your eyes, you can see the wide streets that go on everywhere.

"--This is the place, Magna..."

Beautiful streets with cobalt blue waters and white walls on a red roof.

But the strongest thing I felt was the size of it.

When I left Birdland, I also had confidence in the port town Roundheart. But what about now?

"... you weren't a good place to compare"

Twice or triple? No... it's over ten times lighter. A large, large city called Magna, lined up on such a vast estate.

Many people walk through the town, with numerous shops lined up.

"It's an amazing town... this is"

"... yeah"

So did the accompanying clerk, and Elena nodded silently.

"That, Master Elena. Look over there......"

If you do that for a little while, the civilian next door speaks.

I wondered what happened to Elena, and I looked in the direction he instructed me.

"Hey, what... that"

"Perhaps, Ishtarika's fleet. In the back, there seems to be a bigger battleship, but you can't see it from here..."

Sure, you can also see the battleship with the top sticking out in the back.

If it's that big, it's probably a battleship dedicated to the royalty that hears rumors. But minus that, many battleships standing in line just take Elena's gaze away.

"Conduct talks in Heim. If we do that, we won't have a port town in Haim for hours."

"... I really am. Ishtarika pushed me, and thanks to you, I saved my life."

It's not a battle.

I'm not dealing with him.

Such an idea strikes at Elena, who is flabbergasted.

Until I actually saw it, there were parts of it that I wasn't yet convinced of.

I just couldn't keep up with my imagination and didn't understand it until I saw these realities.

"Oh, excuse me. May I have a moment?

"Yes, sir. What is it, customer?"

Then the clerk, he, speaks to the sailor who was walking.

"Excuse me, but that big ship you see in the back..."

"Hmm? Ahh! That ship, that ship."

Huge ship earlier. Ask what that was, but the sailor's answer was completely different from Elena's expectations.

"Well, on the Knights Battleship, come on"

"Kee, of the Knights...?

Sailors who spoke of unexpected information so much that their empty mouths would no longer be blocked.

"... not of the royalty... is that what this is about?

Hearing the sailor reply, I can't stop Elena opening her mouth, too.

"Of course! If it were to be a Royal Ishtarika ship, those few times bigger, it wouldn't compare!

—— So I'm in this!

That's how the sailors leave, but the extra Elena and the others look confused.

"Ah, bigger than that ship...? You said there were a few of those?

"... you can't put it into words"

It's no longer one town.

Huge enough ship to make you think so. If you think there are many of them, you can no longer but laugh.

"Ha... Shall we just go down? Nothing starts when you're here."

"Right... Shall we come?"

Wearing a cloth robe like a traveler's feather, the two of them make a schedule to disembark the ship.

"Speaking of which, where are the escort adventurers?

"That's true.... Oh, excuse me. Can I ask you something? I think the ship of the adventurers came with us, but which way is the ship..."

A different sailor from earlier.

Just as badly, a clerk stops the sailor and asks.

"Adventurer's ship? Uh, speaking of which, you were coming for another one. No, I'm not staying next door... what's going on?"

"... oh? What's the matter, you?

A new sailor comes under a sailor worried about what's going on.

"You had another one. Adventurers, the one who gave you a ride."

"... oh, there it is. But that ship won't arrive. He's been hit by a wave."

"Dude... are you serious"

The two of you who were listening to that conversation get a little pale.

No way. A ship with an adventurer to escort. I never thought that would have been overturned.

"Customers. Even if you're not lucky enough to encounter sea monsters, you can get hit by waves. Come on. In the sea between Ishtarika and the sea these days, the demons of the sea have fallen dramatically. But I couldn't help but notice the wave accident..."

These accidents are more likely to occur because they are crude adventurer ships than merchant ships.

An adventurer who is also active in Ishtarika would be able to board a better ship than a merchant's, but if it were from Birdland…, the ship would have been difficult.

"... ok. Thanks for letting me know."

Elena will be quiet and thank the sailor.

"No. Then you both have a good trip."

After seeing the sailors going back to work, Elena opens her mouth to the civilian.

"There's no escort, but what do we do?

"I've come this far. So I thought I should go down and look around this town and go home..."

The escort disappeared meticulously, but still generally agrees with what he says.

Anyway, as a heim, I've come all the way here at a cost that's never cheap.

It's not acceptable to just spend it on a boat.

"Right. So... let's keep our minds together."

Elena thus made her first Ishtarika landing.

Walking along the pier, there are a number of fishing boats lined up. But at first glance, the building is stubborn and splendid to the extent that I think it is a noble ship.

Because such a ship is just a fishing boat, I don't know what it means to be a Heim people.

"Look, look! Look, look!

"I just fried you in water!

Take a few steps and open another store.

Elena gets the illusion that it's some kind of festival, out on the streets that goes on and on.

"This isn't some kind of festival..."

My husband Harley tells me about it.

Busy, of course, but you'd be surprised at its scale......

Not that I don't believe what Harley said, but still, I never thought there was such a big town.

"Ah, sister, sister! This fish is good! How about a bottle?

"Oh, I'm sorry. Actually, I haven't even decided on a place to stay yet."

"Hmm?... Ah, neither is your sister! Then I can't help it!

The shopkeeper talked to was a man with a good arm on the sunburned skin, which was mostly harbor-born.

"Is that...?

"I know! Your sister came all the way to Magna for today, too! You'd better hurry, it's a tough day to get an inn!... Ah customer! Well, every time!

I wonder what the hell he's talking about. I don't know what "arr" is about, but honestly it might be suspicious to ask what it is.

"Hey, shopkeeper? Today, after all, there are more people than usual?

"Yes, every time."... uh, that's definitely a lot "

The shopkeeper judged the customer as he spoke, changing his perspective again and looking at Elena.

"But I guess things aren't the same around here. Just a little further, I think it's gonna be hard to walk! Whatever, those" two of you "are coming from Wang Du, so that's busy and natural! So be careful not to get lost!

"Yep... thanks"

If I hear it's more crowded than this place, Elena will butt in, too.

The aim of this time was that more than half went to Ishtarika to try…, so no particular results are required.

So even as Elena, she was turned to consciousness only to see Ishtalika.

"Shall we go then? Let's start with the inn... Is that it?

I meant to speak to my accompanying civilian, but there was no one there.

I should have walked right next door until I got into this street.... but how can you be alone now?

"Perhaps he's lost it."

Though I try to speak calmly, my heart is in a considerable hurry.

If it were to be detached in such a large town, it would be difficult to rendezvous. I don't know which way I've gone, but I have to think about merging now rather than thinking about that.

"Ha... What a tough future."

The two outfits look plain and discreet, to be clear. In that case, the rendezvous becomes even more severe when it is detached.

—— Well, what's the matter?

"In the meantime, let's get out on the boulevard. Looks like there's a boulevard if you go ahead..."

If many paths overlap, they are more likely to be different...

Have those pale expectations and start moving your feet slowly.

"The ground is beautiful, too."

I don't see any diagonal or convex areas.

I noticed that it was easy to walk if I changed the way I said it and my legs were less tired even when I was walking.

Occasionally, tiles arranged in a different color have a simple pattern that makes me feel good to just watch.

"When there's a difference in these parts, it turns out to be vain..."

That's how he muttered, sighing and proceeding to the boulevard.

There was no land survey about Magna, but as I walked, I would create a map in my head.

Through narrow alleys, it may be difficult to rendezvous. Think so, and try to walk the biggest path possible.

But really, this ground was walkable and helpful.

If you get tired to your feet at these times, you'll feel mentally tired.

—— He kept walking for hours and continued his efforts to be able to manage to rendezvous.

You might as well have waited somewhere in silence, but Elena chooses to look from herself.

We also went back to the pier when we got to Magna, but we don't see him.

When I went back to the ship I came aboard, I replied that I had not seen him.

Gradually, the sun began to tilt, and it was time for Elena to decide on the inn. Reminds me of that.

I am restless today.... Either way, it was better to decide on the inn first and then aim to rendezvous.

I also think about that, which makes me feel vulnerable to these situations.

"... I knew it was me. You shouldn't have done anything but work on your desk."

I feel sorry for this body when I said I volunteered from myself.

Still, regret was later, and now I had to do something to break this situation.

"Ok...... and. Let's get back to work and find a place to stay first."

Punch your cheeks! And beat, Elena to regain her temper.

I started moving my legs again to get a room for the inn I had previously confirmed.

"We're buried after lunch, too, and we can't get a room ready anymore."

How many cases is this? Since I started searching for accommodation, an hour has already passed, by the time the sun sets completely already.

This inn is also buried, so I had to head to another inn.

"Okay, bye"

—— Gacha.

Open the door, Elena leaving the inn.

Even considering the time, it's time to really decide on the inn......

"Having lost my composure. That's why."

Think of it, the store owner who had a conversation during the day. I should have gone to decide on an inn soon after I heard what he said.

It is natural to attach importance to rendezvous, but I regret that I should have thought a little more about the Inn.

"Let's take a break."

As usual, Elena, who was on a crowded path, glanced at the bench being sidelined.

Whoever was just sitting walked away, so he went towards it and lowered his hips.

There was still one next door, a man in a grey robe, sitting, but Elena sat down without worrying about it.

"... my legs are getting a little tired."

Rub the flattened tibia (calf) to loosen the tensioned surface.

"That's right, Nojuku..."

Perhaps there are many people in this town, even at night. Still, as a woman, Nojuku had a part to avoid.

"Really, you should have kept the inn early..."

I regret that I misprioritized, and I want to go back this morning if I can.

I start scrubbing my tired legs again as I leak these solitaires.

"--... Um"

As Elena was healing her legs, she heard voices from a gray robe sitting next to her.

……

Stop moving, Elena shifting her eyes next door.

"Excuse me, though. Could it be that I don't have an inn ready for tonight...... or something?

Because of the deeply worn hood, I couldn't even confirm it to my face.

However, it is understandable that a man can be seen from his voice. And in my years... I still seemed young.

"Oh, yeah... Actually, I didn't know it was going to be so crowded."

Is he an Ishtarika adventurer? Elena was thinking about that, even as we talked.

"Ha, I see. It's an amazing crowd, isn't it?"

That look is a soft way of laughing on the back. Elena makes those impressions and sinks a little vigilance.

"Really...... Magna was such a busy place."

"Right. I've been here a few times, but I'm always surprised."

"Oh really? … do you live nearby?"

I might have been too alert. But still, I have a fondness for the way he talks, and he talks like Elena always does.

"Hmmm...... Actually, I live in King's Capital. Besides, usually, I can't let you go away easily."

"Hehe. I thought you were an adventurer... but you're actually a nobleman?

"Nobility, nobility - …. I'm not a nobleman, but is it a troublesome position?"

He leans (hides) his head to the left and right while putting his arms together and gets lost.

If not noble, the son of a big businessman? At least, I didn't think I was just a civilian.

—— Must also have a high upbringing.

Talking to him, Elena realized that.

"Then I won't ask for more information. Is that better for you?

"Ha... No, I'm sorry."

Perhaps this man has no way of talking that makes him uncomfortable.

Even if I take one voice color, I feel like I have the power to make them feel comfortable.

"So how about a thank you for not pursuing it deeply?

"... oh. He had a conversation with a traveler like me. So shouldn't I thank you?

"If you need to thank me as much as we had a conversation, the merchant will die."

Let it end like a joke, the look of a man standing up all the time.

Tall, Elena takes the form of looking up at him when he stands up. The chilling brown hair feels long for a man.

"Even at times like this, I know the inn that leaves the room. I've heard it before, so I'll show you there."

"... Inn?

"Yeah, you don't have an inn, do you?... I didn't confirm it myself, but my aunt told me about it. Well, that aunt can't all be trusted..."

What a unclear word, but I'd appreciate it if you could introduce me to the inn.

If you're about to enter a narrow alley, you should run.

"" I can't. "He's getting out. So should we hurry up and go? Here you go, then."

And the man in the grey robe walked out. Elena saw herself afterwards and followed her in silence.
