Juu Sai no Saikyou Madoushi

hostile country

A large snowmobile (sleigh) enters Vaiska, king of the Kingdom of Prox. A private two-headed snowmobile rented by Ferris and others in a city near the border.

Unlike a carriage, the bottom of a snowmobile has a metal plate instead of a wheel. The animal that pulls the car is a rock goat that is resistant to the cold. The body is thicker than the horse and protected by a rocky outer shell.

The car was equipped with a small heating column - a heating device that circulates magical flames - to relieve the cold in the snow country. Girls who are tired from their long journeys fall asleep on each other's shoulders. Pros wouldn't know the face of the Bastena royal family, but Princess Rosetta wore a hood in her eyes just in case.

"... Ferris... Ferris"

"Fuah!?"

Alicia gently shook her shoulders and Ferris jumped. Looking around with a sleepy eye (mako), with a lovely drool hanging from your mouth.

"I'm sorry! Have I fallen asleep!? Has the lesson begun!?"

"It's not class. I've arrived in King's Landing."

Alicia laughed.

"What kind of place is King's Landing..."

Ferris stopped by the frightened window and looked out at the view. Friends also wake up and see the outside world driven by curiosity.

A large city lined with countless buildings. The streets are covered in white snow, and trees and houses are covered in ice. Many restaurants - perhaps taverns - have barrels on their doorsteps because they drink alcohol to withstand the harsh cold.

Unlike the kingdom of Bastena, there are no stalls. The people on the road are well dressed and prosperous, but there is a lukewarm atmosphere. It should be early in the evening, but the sun that fell is already weak.

Far beyond the boulevard stood a towering structure. It's clear and looks like a castle of ice. That must be Prox's royal palace.

Princess Rosetta paid the rest of the fee and the girls got out of the snowmobile. Re-bear your luggage and stand in the middle of an exotic world. The feeling of being far away from your familiar hometown sneaks up with cold air.

"From now on... what should I do?"

Princess Rosetta laughed.

"I need to take a bath or get dressed, so let's take a break for today. I can't stand to see His Majesty the King of Prox in a worn out state."

Ferris brightens his eyes.

"So, hey, did you have dinner? Are you glad you could eat dinner?

"Yes, what would Ferris like to eat?

"Anything! Grass or something!

"The grass doesn't seem to grow, so let's find a restaurant."

Princess Rosetta walks out holding Ferris' hand. I was afraid that Ferris would have fun eating the roadside grass if I left it alone.

The other hand of Ferris is held by Alicia. It is the usual sight for Janet to look at the situation resentfully.

As the girls were walking down the street in search of a restaurant, a loud sound of shoes was heard from the front. Troops dressed in armor are marching in an undisturbed line. The sword on his waist was a terrible one, and the blade of the axe on his back was sharp.

The girls hid in the sidewalks, aware of the threat. Stay together and kill your breath in the soaking cold. A mass of snow fell from the roof and entered Janet's collar.

"Yikes!? Something's coming into my neck! They'll kill you! I'm gonna die!

"Calm down. People don't die in snow."

Alicia presses her index finger against Janet's lips.

"Ah...."

Janet, who made a mistake and made a noise, is about to burn out in shame.

The troops passed and the girls went off the sidewalk onto the main street. Restart your search for a restaurant, but every time you walk around, you encounter soldiers. There is a high proportion of military personnel compared to civilians, and the whole city is dominated by a physical atmosphere.

"There are warriors everywhere....."

According to Janet, Princess Rosetta raised her thin eyebrows.

"The festival may not be wrong. I'm sure they're preparing for the battle against Bastena."

"Are you aware of Bastena's movements?

"But it's no wonder. If you look at the deployment of the border zone, you can imagine what Bastena is trying to do."

"Prox must have been on the lookout for Bastena..."

Alicia looks at the soldiers walking through the city in a complicated way. I can't be calm when I think that the person who took my mother from me may be mixed in there. This is an enemy country. No matter how many years have passed since the War of the Beast God, the fact remains unchanged.
