86 Snowland.

Approximately half a day's journey since leaving the Wang capital.

We headed north that long distance and showed Ain the unfamiliar landscape as we proceeded.

I heard it was a land with harsh cold, but I've already had the opportunity to see the snow for a few hours now, which surprises Ein.

The mountains that were shining in the horizontal sun also now show their faces at night by the big moon.

I opened the window and the cold, fresh air fills Ain's lungs.

When the landscape I was looking at just now started blurring like an illusion. Finally, the royal train arrived in Baltic.

"The time is... yeah, looks like you managed to get there before the day changed"

Unlike regular vehicles, the Royal Private Train does not go as scheduled.

That's because it weighs in on safety by repeatedly accelerating and decelerating, watching what's going on on on the road.

However, this operation was able to arrive earlier than planned.

"What, sam!? What is this!? Huh? Are you sure it's the same continent?

"It's the same continent... Come here, Ain. Your neck will be cold, so keep warm."

Are you gonna warm me up? I almost heard that, but of course I was mistaken.

A muffler with long hairy feet and a good touch. Krone wrapped it around Ain's neck.

I'm still about the same height now, but I'll probably be able to get over it by the beginning of the year.

When I think back on the fact that I used to have more height differences, I can feel that it has grown a lot.

"Thank you, Krone. I didn't expect this to happen all at once by opening the door..."

I arrived in Baltic and didn't get out of the train immediately. I just stepped out of the lounge and went all the way to a place behind the door until I went outside.

That's right, but this cold. When I do my hand on the windowsill, I feel my fingertips freeze.

"Cold!? Oh, it's cold. This?

"I don't know why I tried it...... here. Give me a hand?

When he gives his finger as he is told, Krone wraps it in his palm and warms its cold fingers.

"Ugh. It's not really cold...... haha, I'm anxious to go ahead. What are you doing all of a sudden..."

"By the way. Am I the first Prince Wang to make an aide do this?

"Oh, Your Highness. Were you aware?

"... sorry"

All I can say is thank you to Krone for the novel but for laboring my fingers.

Is it because your heart is dirty that you just look like you're rubbing your fingers?... I'm sorry about something.

"Yes, I'm done.... Oh? Why are you blushing? Did you get lit?

"Let's just say it turned red in the cold."

"Heh heh... I'm in awe. Your Highness."

All I see as it is is is that I just came to flirt.

... Dill and the others were saved in another vehicle.

"Shall we go then? Baltic landing."

Cough lightly and get back on your mind. Getting along with her is patient now.

Ein thus took a step towards the adventurer town of Bart.

Gyu, walk on snow with Gyu.

Not enough snow for my legs to hide. Deep down, however, there are plenty of shoes to hide in.

If you look off the road, the snow is probably removed around the area where there is more than 1 m of snow to spare, and the part that becomes the road.

"Dear Ein.... Something seems strange, but it's been a while since I've seen you."

Speaking of which, I haven't seen him since yesterday morning.

Dill was busy yesterday too.

There was also support for today's journey, because we had many meetings.

And I'm not even face-to-face this morning. Even this morning, the Dills went to the train first to prepare themselves.

If you hear this, Ain't just thanking you for your thoughtful support everywhere.

"Right. Whatever it is, it's all about getting there safely.... So, uh..."

See Lloyd standing next to me chilling.

He seemed like he was going to call something, but he wouldn't open his mouth to see if the words didn't come out.

"... in this case, Master Lloyd is appropriate. It would have been nice if it had been you, Marshal."

That's how I taught Dill, Lloyd.

Dill was wondering what to call Lloyd on this occasion.

My father is not divided between public and private, nor is he the Marshal. That was giving him a stray.

"When you're a member of this, make it your father. It's easier that way."

Looking around, Krone next to Ain. Two people, Dill and Lloyd, are walking on the other side of it.

"... That's right, Dill. Not at all... Your Highness has been very kind to you, thank you."

"Also, I'm sorry, Dear Ein... I will be studying again in terms of these common sense..."

"I don't care. So, what did Dill try to tell Mr. Lloyd?

Earlier, Dill saw Lloyd and said something.

I mean, I guess I have something to tell Ain.

"Oh, you know what? I thought what Dill was trying to say was probably about this chain of command. Together with Ein's escort in this investigation, the Kingsguard Knight, I am the one with the highest authority. I was going to tell you about it."

"Ah, you know what? But it's reasonable, if Mr. Lloyd is here, everyone should be allowed to learn. If you can, I'd like to know how your son feels to be nearby."

"Ha-ha-ha! Then let's be honest!

I guess Ein's words got into the bump.

As with Ain, Dill is also interested in what his father would say.

"I'm lost because of what happened earlier, so let's get back to my desk first."

Start over from seating. My son (Dill) seeps through some remorse after seeing those Lloyds.

"... I regret that I can't deny it, but I will definitely let you say 'gibberish' and show you any of it. Dear Ein."

"Ha. I'll be expecting you, Dill."

It's going to be hard to make this guy (Lloyd) say goodbye...

But I won't forget my support for Dill.

"So let's get back to it. So I'll take charge of the escorts and the knights. Let me show His Royal Highness Prince Wang that it hasn't rusted yet."

In retrospect, this is the first time I've seen Lloyd's command with my eyes.

That arm, which is also praised by Chris at will. That would be one of the pleasures of this survey.

"And Ain. Of service… No, I will handle all the final matters of service related to Ain. So I'll take care of it."

"Copy that. That? I'm starting to feel like I don't have to."

"As our commander, Mr. Ein would like you to stand by."

"Dill's right. If there's an aura or something that only Ein can feel, he wants to know it with me."

I mean, if there's anything to feel about the red fox?

Durahan and Elderlich influence. There may be something special about that.

If you change your mind, wouldn't it make a difference if you weren't around much else?

"... yeah. It's a fluke."

Ain't enjoying the softness of the cold gear because it's a little annoying if you think so.

Wrapped in fur, this cold protection is warm and pleasant to the touch.

The muffler Krone wrapped around me is also fluffy and pleasant.

"It's night and the store's pretty open."

"It's a town of adventurers. There must be many adventurers who are going to work…"

I don't really want to think about working from such a cold night.

Many shops remained open, as many adventurers from this hard time, depending on the target demon.

"Unlike Wang Du, not like Yist. I knew it was funny what kind of city you don't usually come to."

Baltic features are briefly stone and bone. The rest is iron.

Instead of stone, stone materials close to rock and signs with giant bones are visible to the eyes.

As I heard from Chris when I was at Ist, I also saw numerous blacksmith buildings.

Aren't they blacksmiths cold?

At the store where it opened, she took a break from smoking a flue pipe (Xcel). Sometimes that figure is a tank top by the way, and he's manly for a long time.

On the contrary, although there is a roof, there seems to be an open terrace liquor store, where noisy adventurers look successful.

"Right...... By the way, Master Ain, that big bone. Actually, it represents the character of the store."

Lloyd said that, pointing to a giant bone sign.

"Bones are the size of the store? Mr. Lloyd, that's..."

"If I tell you, those bones are expensive. So a giant, sturdy bone tells us how thriving the store is. But sourcing the bones is a difficult business. And let's have a lot to do with luck. That's why it's an easy indicator."

There was also adventurous town like this.

When I hear that and confirm it, I do use bigger bones in larger stores.

I mean, I guess the store is thriving.

"Inns are different though. If it is also an inn for tourists, nobility will also stay there. So there's no big difference between Wang Du and Yist."

The same goes for the Inn where Ain and the others are headed. There are decor and atmosphere to suit the area, but like a liquor store or blacksmith, there is no such thing as big bones in front of the store.

"I see... Speaking of which, thank God I was quiet when I was supposed to be here."

"Speaking of which, yeah. Dear Lord Lloyd, is Prince Wang not very welcome among adventurers?

Krone, questioning Ein's words, asks Lloyd.

"No, that's not true. Instead, Ein was highly regarded, because he single-handedly crusaded the sea dragon."

Lloyd's reply was the opposite, saying Ein's ratings were high. Then why? The question raises.

"So why is it? I don't want you to welcome Ain, but I feel too different from Wang Du..."

"It's easy. The information that Master Ain is coming will be sticking out on the guild. But there's a problem here."

Gokuri. Ain and Krone drink saliva.

Dill also seems to be concerned about the reason, staring at Lloyd's face.

"They don't look at any of the guilds to hear from the country. That's why I thought it might be the same this time. Ha, ha, ha!

Exactly. The top adventurers see a lot of information, but the vast majority don't check in too much detail.

Instead, it's all about going straight into the scene once you get the request.

That may be true if I say disrespectful, but I'm not willing to point that out anyway.

"I see..."

Emergency communications, such as sea dragons, will be put up, but other royal matters, etc. will be put up in separate frames.

As a royal Ain, although he had a desire to see some more, he also remembered his joy in his adventurous personality.

"So long, Ain. I have plans for tomorrow."

"Is that it? I thought you were off tomorrow."

Ain arriving at the inn.

Because I have been booking for some time now, most of the rooms are filled with investigative teams led by Ain.

A little craft is placed, or some demonic stripping is arranged in the hallway.

Some of the interiors were seen as such in the room where Ain stayed.

But sometimes it's for sightseeing and aristocracy, and the vast majority of the facilities are no different from Wang's capital or ist.

Some side of me felt happy, and I felt inadequate.

When you open a window in such a room, a cold breeze enters and Ain's breath stains white.

Ahead there was a little balcony, and Ain got his feet there.

"It's gonna snow, isn't it?

"Crone, come on, too. It's beautiful."

"... Yes, sir"

And so she came next to Ain.

I was trying to explain something until earlier, but I get caught up in Ain's pace.

"Really beautiful..."

Fantastic landscape in the eyes of both of us.

The town of Baltic is open even if it may be late.

Compared to Isto, this town, which never loses, is lit by warm lights in many places.

Lights illuminated everywhere and large amounts of snow that keep falling.

It was as beautiful as one snowdome, scattered with gems.

"There are demon kings near towns like this. I don't know."

"Oh, maybe the other way around, huh?

"... Huh?

Has it gotten a little chilly, Krone approaches Ein naturally?

"I mean the demon kings first. Maybe you liked this snow scene earlier, huh?

"... I see"

Looking back at the demon king, I don't think it's a mistake.

She looks adorable with beautiful silver hair. This snow view would suit her like that.

"I wonder what kind of town it was"

"... you mean Demon King's Land?

"Yes, yes. I wonder if there was a beautiful view like we're looking at right now."

"Maybe there was... that's what you think when you look at this view"

Are the streets still there, too? I can't help but wonder what's left of the old demon kingdom.

Seeing Krone trembling a little next door, Ain moved his body.

"Oh, thanks..."

"You're welcome."

Ain't wearing the jacket I was wearing to Krone, who was looking cold.

I wish I could shut up and close the window, but I still don't feel like leaving there in the heads of the two of us.

Krone also honestly accepts Ein's care.

In front of those two, there's still a lot of snow coming down a few centimeters.

"Speaking of which, what are you planning to come in tomorrow?

"Yeah, I have plans to say hello.... just now. I was hoping to hear from you a little sooner."

As a krone, he seems dissatisfied and uncommonly complains.

"You mean I'm going to say hello to someone?

"On the contrary. Someone's coming to say hello to Ain, just be patient, okay?

'Never mind,' Ein said to Krone, who seemed sorry.

Whatever. She's not bad at all.

"That's all right.... but who's coming to say hello?

"Well... as a title, you're a Baltic lord. As a nobleman, it's the Count's."

"The lord says hello? That didn't happen with the ist..."

"Of course I do. 'Cause you didn't tell Ist that Ain't going, did you?

Indeed. I was honestly convinced of Krone's words.

In retrospect, because he was hiding himself, he met a troublemaker named Viscount Sage.

"Speaking of which, you did."

"There's no nobleman who doesn't come to greet His Royal Highness the King when he knows he's coming."

"Sure if you ask me...... So, what time does it start?

"I'm heading over for lunch. I heard from you."

Then you can sleep slowly.

It's a long journey, even though I've been on the train for a long time. I wanted to avoid starting in the morning if I could.

"Then I think I'll get some rest."

"Right. Exactly in the morning... I wouldn't have let you."

Nicole laughs and says so, but she probably means it.

In case you came from an early hour, it should always be a front door payment.

"And then Ain had one interesting thing to do."

"What does that Count have to do with it?

"Yes, I do.... In the letter, it says:"

That said, Krone stopped even closer to Ain.

"I heard my brother Kaisel was taking care of me at school..."

I wouldn't expect this to happen without an open mouth blocked.

Ain's face, all at once, stained with surprise.

"... you're lying, aren't you?

"What are you going to do with this lying... no more"

"Huh? The Earl's man? How could someone like that have been an adventurer..."

"It's a time when there's a king prince investigating the old demon kingdom, isn't it?

No, I have a reason. So it's a different frame.

I wanted to make an excuse, but I can't say that strongly because I'm personally interested in the former demon kingdom.

"It's a very thick party..."

Chris' sister, who has the strength to outsmart even Lloyd, to the honorary professor of the most prestigious institute in Ist. And the Count's Born Swordsman...... what could be a darker party of ments than this?

"With what intent did Instructor Kaisel become an adventurer? Shall I put that away for a moment? Let's just think about saying hello to that brother's Count tomorrow, shall we?

"I get it. I'll look forward to seeing what he's like."

I finished talking about what was at stake and enjoyed this night scene.

It's time to close the window and go back to your room. If you think so and look at your left arm, you look at Krone, who is somehow attached.

She wasn't aware either, she was talking to Ain as she was in nature.

……

What am I supposed to do?

I wanted to talk to Katima. I don't think she'll give me the right answer, but I feel comfortable with her at times like this somehow.

"Shall I go back to my room then? Let me get you a warm drink."

Think for a dozen seconds and come up with one operation.

It's a warm drink operation.

Begin walking towards the room with natural tricks and ask her to add a drink. The dimensions are that you can return to your room naturally. I don't have a naming sense, but I should be able to expect that effect.

And after you mouth the dialogue, you just start walking.

"Well, I think I'll have something too because it's a little chilly..."

Following Ain's movements, she also moves her legs intact.

Keep it up. She goes to get drinks. The operation is a success, I'm afraid of my talent.

Even as it remained natural, Ain moved his legs.

Her neighbor was also natural, but she suddenly opened her mouth and startled Ain.

"Hehe...... thank you for the escort. His Royal Highness Prince Wang"

Two people walked a few steps from the balcony and back inside the room.

Laughing softly, she walks away from Ain's hand. I felt her affection for the way Pelo and I tongued out.

The left arm after she leaves, I remember the illusion as if it had suddenly gotten cold.

'I see. Was he a convict' sentiment to Ein.

"... one day I'll let you illuminate the other"

It was just a little bit of a cool determination, but this is one down. But I remember having the same resolve before.

--Dill and I would be good subordinate combinations with each other aimed at the bottom.

After this I went back to the two of us as usual and enjoyed the warm drinks she prepared.
