Heavenly Castle

Find the elves.

[Aifa]

The hustle and bustle of the Imperial capital felt like a distant memory, even though it was only about a few months away.

But there's nothing I actually miss back in Imperial Capital.

After all, my hometown is by that forest and the Spirit Tree.

I felt so stained as I distracted myself inside the Imperial capital.

If a soldier comes from before, he travels hidden in the shadow of a carriage, walking down the back street as far as he can to make it inconspicuous.

The outfit is just robes and hoods, but that's not the only way to find out in the capital.

Lord Tyke was worried, but most of his family lives in the Imperial City. Again, I want to make sure I'm safe myself and help out.

Besides, I know some of the family's locations. If you were able to make contact with the family, it is possible that you know where the other families are.

I thought so, and I came behind the barracks to the east.

The number of pedestrians decreased, but the number of soldiers left in armor increased instead. However, since it is usually a place where you never get close, it is likely that if you wear this plain colored robe, you will not find out if it is me. If I am alone without a confessor, I will be fine first.

However, there is one element that stands out no matter what.

"... you're in trouble"

He shrugged and looked back and saw a giant figure nestled in a dark alley.

It is a golem attached by Lord Tyke. Sometimes some magicians do bring a golem if they are the size of an imperial capital.

But the majority are imperial sorcerers, who are either self-evident sorcerers who also want to show off their own golems, or bigoted sorcerers who love the golems too much.

And magicians with golems in other imperial cloaks and robes are mostly mercenaries and out-of-the-box magicians, and they stand out terribly within the capital.

I look up at the modified golem into a cornered one and sigh. You'll rely on it so much more when things happen, but it becomes too conspicuous when it moves in secret.

"... I wish you would follow me away"

I squealed and sighed again, but gave up what I couldn't help but say and went out in front of the barracks.

If a soldier suspects you, let him escape. There are some imprints of imperial sorcerers borrowed from Lord Yuri, and I can explain that he is a sorcerer from the Empire.

I went out onto the street thinking about that and checked on the barracks.

Five soldiers stand side by side at the entrance to the stone two-story building, and other lightly dressed soldiers walk around inside and outside.

Some looked sideways at me, but I get out of sight with no particular reaction.

Why? Don't you think it's suspicious when you look at the golem?

I thought so and swung, but there was no sign of Lord Tyke's golem there.

Looking around with only eyes, he stands quietly in the shade of an alley. Apparently, he's waiting for me without leaving the alley I was in earlier.

"... no, no way..."

It is abnormal at this stage that it is still moving at super and super distances. Now, it is God's business to give orders so advanced as to understand some of these words.

But the opponent is the king of that flying island. Maybe that's possible too.

At that stage I noticed one pure fact and my skin grew gross.

The sorcerer who manipulates the golem is far above the sky, and only soldiers descend on the ground. Any country would be ravaged instantly if an army with the strongest golem that I seriously fought or didn't deal with came at me.

Anyway, it seals the option of killing Golem's magician, the only chance of winning. There's no way you can win.

Staring at the golem hiding in the alley from the front street, I sweat cold and wrinkle between my brows.

and that's when a dozen soldiers appeared from across the street. As soon as I look at you, I realize I have a family there.

Hard to see surrounded by soldiers, but I do feel signs of my family there. Probably kids in their thirties.

I turned back early and returned to the alley.

"Will you take a step back?

Tell Lord Tyke's golem to do so and let him dive into the alley, and the golem takes a big step back and sticks to the wall to keep it unobtrusive.

Obviously, Golem, having heard one of my words, decided and moved on his own besides what he had instructed.

Sensitive to the signs of my family, I gently looked up at Golem's face and frowned.

[Mair]

Run on hard cobblestones, running from shade to shade of the building. When I checked back, there was a golem appearance that followed quietly with a large strand despite the giant like looking up.

"The boulder is the golem of Master Taiki"

When I squeal like that, your mother puts her face out of the shadow of the golem.

"Maire, we need to act a little slower..."

Mother groaned so with a worried face, turning her neck and looking around. It seems unusual and uneasy for a mother who doesn't always move.

I turned to my mother, put my hand on her hips and pointed at her mouth.

"Master Tyki said that, didn't he? This place is far from the capital, so it'll take a week or two for the story to get out, and it's okay to find out."

"You didn't say it was okay to find out, Maire? However, you told me not to worry about finding out in the worst case..."

To my anxious mother, I nod with my chest stretched.

"It's okay. Someone elf-like just walked in, right? You should be here. If you help out quickly, that's a huge success. So your mother laughs and looks like she always does."

When I told her that, her mother laughed like she was in trouble.

"Usually it's good, but if I fail, I might put mud on Lord Tyke's face? You can't just do that, can you?

"If you know what I mean."

When I said that a little angry at my mother for saying the same thing over and over again, Golem moved out even though she had not said anything.

Both my mother and I blink at the golem that moves with our hands on my shoulders and pressing them against the wall.

"Hey, what? On your own......"

Looking up at the golem in surprise, I heard voices from behind the building a little late.

It's a man's voice. I seem to be talking to some people and sometimes I hear metal and metal bumping into each other.

When I looked at your mother, she gestured and told me not to talk.

There was a laugh for a while, but when I was quiet, I eventually found some people's voices moving away.

Maybe there's two men left in the building, and they're both soldiers in armor.

"... what do we do? Entering?"

When I asked her that in a low voice, her mother made a vertical wrinkle between her brows.

"You can't do such a nasty thing, Maire. First, make sure all the elves are sure, then..."

"If you know what I mean."

Blocking the words of my mother, who is going to be long, I look up to Lady Tyke's golem.

"I'll be on the table once, so look at me with your mother there. If you're in danger, help me."

That said, I was about to leave quietly on the street. Clothes are a common costume I bought all over the city, with a turban wrapped around my head and a thick cape on my back so my ears and tail are fine.

"Hey, hey Mair......!

I heard your mother panicking, but I didn't mind poking through the middle of the street and moving to the other side of the road. It's a clothing store that just displays the product side by side, and I stop to look at the product.

"Oh, sweetie. What do you want?

A middle-aged man came by with a loving voice, but I leaned my neck while looking at the product without looking at you.

"... I'd like a piece of cloth in a bright red color"

When he mouths clothes of colour that are not in front of him, the man nods in a superior mood.

"Ooh, that's lucky. There's a little bit of value, but there's rarely any good. Just give me a minute."

That being said, I made sure the signs of the man disappeared into the back of the store, and I quietly looked back just sideways.

The soldiers who were supposed to have been there earlier are no longer visible, and there are two soldiers in a barrack-like building without doors.

And behind it was the figure of an elf in a white cape and the figure of an elf of a child sitting in a chair and leaning down with a dark expression.

"... I think we should do this."

I said so, inverted. I traveled in the flow of people. Sewing people's gaps quickly and discreetly, returning to the back alley.

"There are two soldiers. Elves have one adult and one child"

When I moved next to my mother and told her so, she saw me with troubled eyes.

"That information is a good thing, but you can't be impotent, can you?

"But it was okay, wasn't it?

I want you to praise me because I succeeded. I complained with my eyes, but my mother turned a hard eye on me.

"What will you do if you fail? We need to help the elves so that they don't stand out as much as we can and the soldiers won't even notice."

That's what your mother tells you, and I protest with my cheeks swollen. Your mother is too cautious, even though it's okay because there's also a golem of Master Tyke.

I tried to say that, but either way, I just felt pissed off and stopped.

If this happens, I have to show my correctness with the results.

I looked up at Golem's face quietly and so determined.
