The southern part of the Kingdom of Lawrence - a city that also exists to the south in the territory of the former Duke of Aldart, now incorporated as a royal jurisdiction, the trading city of Romane - has grown as a relaying place between the Principality of Alto and the Kaisel Empire.

In recent years, as a result of the invasion of the southern great Kaisel Empire, both the Principality of Alto and the Kingdom of Lawrence have continued to skirmish with the Kaisel Empire, whose national circumstances have been incited by the trade city Romane by Moro.

Along the southern border of the trade romane, the fortifications of the Kingdom of Lawrence are built, and on the side of the Kaisel Empire across the border, three fortifications are built to represent the difference in national power.

The effects of the Duke of Aldart's accession to the direct jurisdiction of the Royal Lawrence have not been felt immediately, but that is because the information of the Royal Lawrence has not yet been received by the Kaisel Empire...

"Mostly, okay. Explain, thank you."

"No, no, because I'm free, too. Because I just told you what I heard in Elan town, Kazt."

I'm after a man with a wooden knife who said he was headed south.

Currently, after leaving the Wang capital Fafnir, he was heading south to the trading city of Romane via the town of Elan, where the shades of the lodging town were dark.

"In doing so, I feel quite nervous along the border south of the trading city of Romane..."

"I guess."

The merchant holding the reins of the horse pulling the sailcarriage, nodding at my words, agrees.

But now... I don't know why the Kaisel Empire has been expanding rapidly over the last 12 years.

Currently, he continues to compete in skirmishes on the border with the Principality of Alto, which has not become a full-scale war, and with the Kingdom of Lawrence at the same time.

I don't understand any idea of royalty or nobility, even though the people are just exhausted after all the war.

"Mr. Kazuto, that's... the trade city of Romane."

In the corner of the product being carried by a merchant packed in large quantities in a sailcarriage, resting, I sit and open my eyes and look forward.

Then at the end of the horizon, a splendid wall made of stone was visible.

"Is that Romane?

"Yes, we have a population of 10,000!

On the journey, the merchant who happens to be traveling with us after helping from a demon named Hounddock speaks proudly.

"Maybe you were born in Romane?

"Oh, yeah, I was born and raised in a trade city, Romane."

"I see..."

I vaguely decided to hammer without knowing what to say.

After passing through the entrance to the trade city of Romane with only ID presentations, I set foot inside the town by saying goodbye to my companion's merchant, the dolphin, who said there was a luggage inspection.

The trade city of Romane attracts many houses made of wood.

"Inn for now and a new weapon..."

I ask the man who was walking down the street where the inn is.

And as I walk down the path taught, I see a sign that says [Journey Inn] before entering the building.

As soon as we get inside the building, there's a counter.

"Sorry, I'd like to stay overnight..."

"One night, nine silver coins."

The old lady who listened to me answered with no love at all.

I said, "Is this it?" And when I took one gold coin out of the bounty I received from His Majesty King Ellance, the old lady had offered me a wooden bill with a single fishing coin and a key with a room number on it after she came looking at me jizzily.

Go to the room with the room number on it as you receive the provided key.

"Room 201..."

I go into the room when I unlock each and every one of them whining.

There are three bets and the room is quite large.

"Speaking of which, you didn't say some..."

This is probably a three-person room.

I don't know if it's for a party, but, well, it's not like I'm in trouble with money, and I don't have a problem, and I can slow it down, so it won't be a problem.

"Well, we've decided on a place to stay, so let's gather information."

I knew a man with a wooden knife headed south in the Wang capital Fafnir, but the problem is that I haven't grasped the footsteps after that at all.

I came through the town of Elan, which was the relay point, but I can't grasp the man's footsteps at all.

Among the former Duke of Aldert's territory, I think a trading city located in the southernmost part of the country and close to the borders of the Kaiser Empire would get some information...

I come from the inn to collect information and buy weapons in lieu of wooden knives in town.

Then, as I had seen somewhere... a luxurious and splendid carriage stopped quietly in front of the inn.
