SIDE: Krone & Graf [Previous]
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have just entered the coast of Ishtal, the continent."
First flight carrying sea crystals departing from Euro.
Inside the ship were Graf and others, the Augusto people, on board and aiming for Ishtarika.
More mined sea crystals than planned by Ishtarika will be loaded into a ship and proceeded smoothly through the sea.
"I heard that, but you're really fast to say it's a ship"
"Non has also ridden outbound only a long time ago. Nevertheless, the speed seems to be considerably higher than by then"
"Yep. It was three generations ago, to say the least, that Master Graff was boarded in the past. Compared to ships around that time, stability and speed have all increased."
It is Ishtalika's civilian who is guiding the Graphs, under the direct command of Chancellor Warren.
The lodging room for the nobility was equipped with a salon, where they gathered for tea and were briefed.
"That's why I felt the difference. But I'm still afraid that three generations will evolve in the last few decades."
"Numerous technicians study day and night. It's an achievement they've made."
"That's right. Ishtarika, Ein... No, will the ship that Ein and his men crossed to Ishtarika be another ship?
Krone, who considered Ishtarika's human opponent to be less impressed if Ain was to be abandoned, avoided it by adhering to him.
"Another ship came to Heim when Her Royal Highness the Second Princess returned. It is a ship reserved for princesses who say Princess Olivia. It is also somewhat larger than this ship, but not comparable when it comes to equipment and performance."
"I'd love to see it at first sight. Hey, Grandpa."
"When I hear you're overtaking this ship, don't worry about it"
"We will be disclosing our operations on a regular basis, so we hope you will enjoy the occasion as well"
"I see, I heard good things about that"
In the unveiling of its operation, White King, the dedicated ship of King Silvado of Ishtarika, also appears.
The size, the equipment and its performance cannot hide any surprises, even from the Isthalic people.
"Does Princess Olivia also have different speeds?
Krone asks.
"Of course it is. There are also reasons to say that this ship has a lot of loading, but even if you subtract it, it's about 30% faster."
"That's exactly what you mean by a royal ship. When Her Royal Highness the Second Princess returned home, you picked her up quickly."
The clerk heard it and smiled gently at Nicole. Then I cough once and reopen my mouth.
"… Now let me explain how this is going to work. May I?
"Please."
Yes, please.
This clerk was here to guide us, because he also planned to explain how things have been since Ishtarika.
I needed to be on the ship for a while after I got to the port due to some detailed confirmation work, etc.
"First of all, we will check the status cards of Master Graf, and Master Krone, both of you, to confirm your identity. Then I'll check the paperwork and ask you to sign it. It is prohibited or promised."
In order to welcome them, the great nobility of Heim, we also needed to have some confirmation, as Istarika, about our responsibilities when something happened and how we behaved in Istarika.
"We will then do tests such as germs, which we will also be subjected to. This is to prevent accidents."
"Of course I'm going to obey."
If I don't obey, I'll give you bad feelings. That makes no sense given what's to come, which also makes it unfavourable for Krone.
"Thank you. And last but not least, I'd like you to talk to my boss for a moment."
"I understand. What will it be like?
"I am the Chancellor. Warren is coming. I think you'll be asked some final oral questions, so I was hoping you could answer that."
Graff didn't know Warren was going to take a leg. So there was a little confusion.
He thought that the Graf would be nothing more than a nobleman on the border, such as the Augusto family for Istarika.
I didn't expect the Chancellor, who is a heavy town on purpose to such a peripheral nobleman, to take his feet.
"I didn't know Lord Warren was here."
"If it had been Ishtarika's entry by another means, things would have changed again...... in this case, the name of the princess and Ein came up. That's why the Chancellor took his leg."
"... Dear Ein, how are you?
Krone hasn't even heard from me in a while, and I don't know what the situation is. I heard about Ein.
"Master Ain is vigorously encouraging martial arts training and the necessary studies as a royal family. The princess and I are going to have a good time."
"Really? Thank you. I'm relieved to hear that."
Hearing the answer, Krone smiles and says thank you.
"As a matter of fact, Non didn't have the opportunity to speak directly with Ein. That's why I'm thankful to hear from you."
"Let's talk a little bit about Ein. Even in the castle, you have a very good reputation. As I said earlier, you are not above all sparing any effort, and you are courteous and smart."
"--Good. You haven't changed, have you?"
No one has heard Krone whining in a small voice.
She was more than happy that Ain't changed.
"It's just... what shall I say? There's a little bit of a mess. I'm very close to the First Princess, but we can do a lot of planning and a mysterious experiment and make a little noise."
I hear about Ain't that what Krone didn't know, and you nod that there were places like that.
"Since Ein arrived, the castle has been busy. Her Royal Highness the Second Princess is back, and Her Majesty and the Queen are delighted."
"... I can only say I'm sorry"
It is true that what happened in Heim has made me uncomfortable with Ishtalika.
You can't apologize for that as the great nobleman of Heim, the Augusto family.
"… there were many things going on, many circumstances, and many things that I had to be convinced of even if I wasn't convinced. You can't let it all flow into the water. But making an effort to move forward won't be a bad thing. That's all I can say right now."
Only calmly, never putting his attitude on the table, this is what Ishtarika's civilian said.
"When you get to Ishtarika, be sure to enjoy the view of the port town first. It is also one of the leading port towns in Ishtarika and a huge city. You can also see many fresh fish. I think you'll enjoy it."
"Let us look forward to how much the town has changed in the last few decades"
"I'm new here. I will burn the landscape of Port Town in my eyes."
"Okay. Then I'll be free. I will give to Lord Alfred a document summarizing some of the summaries. Lord Alfred, may I ask you to confirm?
"Accepted."
Alfred responds and the clerk hands over some paperwork.
I guess it contains some important things about Ishtarika.
By the time we arrive, we need to check in advance.
After handing it over, the clerk quietly leaves the room.
"Krone. I just want you to be prepared. That Ein is now not an easy man to meet, the royal family of the great Ishtarika."
"I understand. But as much as I'd expect to see you... okay?
A few hours later, the ship carrying the sea crystals arrived safely at the port town of Magna.
The sight Krone and the others see from the room is just a roll.
The beauty of houses built alongside each other in an unparalleled size to the port town of Roundheart in Haim.
Cobalt blue sea with a good view to the figure of a swimming fish. And many piers and various ships docked there.
Though I have also taken to the port town of Magna in the past as a graph, I find myself shocked by the magna that has been even more prosperous for decades.
"I guess this is what you say when you can't block an open mouth, Grandpa. I can't believe there's such a town in the world."
"Even the sights that Non used to see are very different. I feel the same way, Krone."
"... It's something I thought about when I used to be with Master Graff, but now that feeling is even stronger. The strength of a country called Ishtarika is more than Heim imagines."
What Alfred says is exactly the truth. So much so that I understood that they were making a huge difference in terms of culture, size, and technology just by looking at the town.
"Just walking around town sounds fun"
"You must be. I'd like to do some slow shopping here someday."
The ship's power seems to have stopped altogether, and the ship was fixed to the port.
Near the large pier where the ship has stopped, there are numerous standby personnel to unload and civilians to carry out detailed checks.
In the small high places visible from the ship, the water train had stopped.
"Grandpa? What the hell is stopping on that thing?"
Krone had no knowledge of the train, so he asked Graf what it was.
"That's the main way to get around Ishtarika, a water train. We can travel to many places on the continent."
"That's convenient. Is that water train fast, too?
"Whether it's a grand horse or not, it can't be a battle. Keep moving so fast"
"Well, there's such a ride for Ishtarika... eh"
Getting around in Heim was basically a carriage. For this reason, if we looked at an over-tech substitute from Heim, a water train, we couldn't keep up with our understanding.
"But for a ride like that, it's expensive."
"That's not true. Depending on the distance, the more you pay for a typical civilian meal, the more money you'll get."
"... I didn't know it was available to civilians. I guess that's something like Ishtarika."
Even though Krone said he hadn't gotten off the ship yet, expectations continued to swell over a number of new discoveries.
Will I be able to catch that water train myself? I was excited to think about what kind of ride it would be.
"Excuse me, Master Graf, Master Krone. We've arrived, so I was hoping you could help us get off."
Yeah, I got it.
"Let me explain a while ago, I have a few things to do. You will disembark from the ship as soon as the work is complete, and you will meet with the Prime Minister."
"Lord Warren."
Graf was in the far heim. Even so, nervousness ran when I thought about what kind of person Warren was.
It is the head of the civil servants of a great power called Ishtarika, and one of the sides of King Silvard.
If that objection was raised by him, it could also be that there was no acceptance of Ishtarika.
I couldn't even stop sweating on my forehead when I thought about it that way.
"Yes, I know it will get a little loud because some work will unload again. I'm sorry, but I was hoping you'd let me know."
"Whatever. Thank you for bringing me here."
"Neither do I. Thank you."
A civilian smiled when he saw the two thankful men and said there was no extermination.
"It's what you all had, but let me put it all down for you and us. I'll give it to you somewhere you can take your time later."
What the Graphs brought in is all you need to live with.
It boxed and stored the belongings of several escorts and servants, as well as the belongings of the Graphs, in considerable quantities, to a place where loads would be placed in Ishtarika's favor.
"Thank you overlapping. I didn't bring much here because I had it boxed. I can leave now, so I'd like to ask for guidance."
"I understand. Then I'll take you."
There was nothing to prepare, so I left the room where I was staying as I was guided.
As it was explained, the hustle and bustle grew as we went down the road.
Graf headed into the process, thanking the troubled ship for a while.
