Ruins of tropical areas [1]
A few days later, as planned, they came to the port town Round Heart.
This mission is the fact, the first moment for both of us, when we cross the ocean.
"Hey, Leonard."
"... what?
Leonard looking grumpy.
The number of people is small and has remained the same for some time before disembarking from the ship.
The Ishtarikas, other than the two, thought.
Well, the future Chancellor said you have a strong love and loyalty to His Highness.
How did you come to this idea because the destination was Heim?
He frowned and the back of his eyes swayed, with an abominable face, always looking out the window.
Occasionally, it is clear on the journey so far that he was suddenly up and out of his seat.
Perhaps this modus operandi is due to past behavior towards Ein… hatred towards Heim who was doing it.
- But my friend Bats thought differently.
No, he's not upset about that, you know.
"Stop nausea, would you like another drink? It's easy to drink because it's mixed with fruit water, right?
"... sorry. It'll help if you get it."
I'm seasick.
Leonard was seasick on a long journey.
However, Ishtarika's ships are resistant to shaking and can be comfortable even on long journeys.
Bias This is nothing more than that Leonard was too weak for the voyage.
Looking at him honestly received, Bats also looked extremely bad, pointing in the direction of the day after tomorrow.
"Steady. Well, you're making a prettier town than I thought."
"Huh...... puha. Oh, sure."
Then Bats noticed.
In the former capital of King Heim, in the carcass of a bulimic world tree.
"Is that what Ain't been? Big again."
"It's like Ein's vessel. There's nothing wrong with that."
"Uh, okay, okay. Damn, I feel strong as soon as I drink anti-nausea..."
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
The plan was overcrowded and then, delicate and neurotic and incorporated.
Now, since joining Tiggle, the two of them took the Knight of Ishtarika as a fact-finding team and left the port town Roundheart.
Run the horse, aim for the example location specified by Elena, and run the horse all day.
"... you're getting a little hotter"
Bats wiped the sweat off his forehead.
The destination is the only tropical region on the continent, with serious humidity causing irritation.
To Leonard of a civilian nature, Tiggle, a former prince.
Compared to the fleshy bats and knights, the two get inferior health.
I ran my horse with a little care so I wouldn't get sick.
"Still, Tiggle is surprisingly physically fit."
Kelloggy...... but all I did was make my expression look thin and tired.
I am surprised that his former prince can follow him so vigorously.
"I'm like this from the beginning. You know I met Ain in Euro before, right?
At the time, he headed to Euro to get information on Krone.
I remember him appearing abruptly, without any promises, both Euro and Ishtarika panicked.
"Uh, that. I hear that happened."
"Besides, in my duties as Lord Haim, I travel to and from Ishtarika as I do every month. If I didn't have the strength, I wouldn't be able to do it."
Although on the top of the Buddha, Bats laughed when he looked at him as though he was about to have some fun.
I think Leonard is a gutsy man, too.
During the school years, he also does special dates for Ain, a demonic local internship.
So did Loran, but I guess a pair (first) won't survive without guts.
"Hey, what are those eyes? I don't care."
"I know. I just thought you had guts, too."
Returns a bitter laugh to Leonard, who realizes he wants to make it.
The Bats then paid attention to this hot journey.
Like you usually see, the trees in the woods aren't what they look like.
The leaves are large and pointy. The tree itself is tall, and the trunk is thick and sturdy on the ellipse.
The sound that reaches your ears is busy with beasts you don't hear much about or bird voices claiming territory.
If you breathe softly through your nose, you can smell the warm air, the damp soil and some sweet smell.
The occasional noise of flying featherworms increased my desire to finish looking down early.
"Hey, Tiggle. Do you still have the ruins of the example?
Running a horse, but asking with a pioneering voice.
"It should be soon... hmm?
Tiggle noticed something.
Close your eyes and check it, hands up loudly.
Then, gradually, a group loosens momentum, and after a few seconds, it reaches a halt.
"I see it. That's the ruin of the example."
There were ruins of old, broken stones by the way.
Many places are covered in moss and thick twats stretch around the columns.
When you say you don't have one human child, why not?
What I found strange was the illusion that someone lived there.
"Arrive safely and more importantly. Well, then..."
"Dear Leonard. We are on perimeter alert and checking the demons inside the ruins."
"Oh, I asked for it"
That said, the Knight of Ishtarika descends his horse and heads for placement.
It's an area where even Heim adventurers can manage.
I'm sure they'll get to control with nothing wrong.
"Speaking of which, are there demons?
"You, you weren't listening to Tiggle?
Leonard held his head as he watched the departing knight.
The heat is noticeable near the ruins, with sweats on his forehead and his blonde hair snapping around his neck.
No heart or restless breathing than usual.
"There are demons, just... they're not inside the ruins."
"As Leonard says, we're not inside the ruins. For some reason, they don't come near the altar of giving and descending."
"Ho... that's reassuring"
Whistle like any other HR and the bats walk out slowly.
He also seemed to be in this heat, wiping the sweat off his forehead.
But I was stunned by the sweat that emerged, whether I wiped it or not, and I sighed loudly.
"Let's go inside, too. Warren told me to check inside the ruins."
"Ah. It's unacceptable to create a hole in the measure. Check the details and we'll go home."
Seeing the two of them walked away, Tiggle also proceeded.
Like Bats, I sprung up whether I wiped the sweat or not, but surprisingly, I'm not in the mood to go along with the two of them this way.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
Unlike knights, ask them what's going on inside.
Says he really doesn't see him like a demon.
On the contrary, he said he doesn't even look like a dangerous beast.
The three walk in peace, aiming for an altar that would be in the deepest depths.
"... you're surprisingly cool inside"
Leonard said, looking over intrigued.
If you ask me, it's certainly cool inside.
For some reason, the unpleasant humidity also lurked the ringing.
"It's also in the shade. Isn't it rocky and the air cools?
Two civilian neighbors nod at each other and exchange opinions.
The Bats, on the other hand, glimpse around behind the two of them.
The interior of the ruins is dim, but from the collapsed heavens, the outside lights come in.
For this reason, the path to walk was well understood.
It smelled of damp soil and moss, and I taught that this is usually a space where people don't lean in.
When I touch the walled stone, the feeling of roughness and the dew drips.
The ground, the walls, there are many cracks, but where they are not likely to collapse, we can see that the building of this ruin is heavy.
The three of them move on to the entrance hall, if you say so in the mansion.
That's about as big a space as it gets, pretty deep down.
There are dozens of thick, tall columns stretched out, which would be about 30 m to the ceiling.
- Then Bats noticed the painting painted on the wall.
"Hey, both of you"
When I stop and call the two of them, the two walking forward look back.
"What's the matter, Bats?"
Leonard raised his voice first, and the two walk back to him in a few steps.
"Have you ever seen such letters and pictures?
"Letters and pictures?
Instruct with your thumb and let Leonard and Tiggle gaze at you.
What was depicted there were letters that the three of them had never seen and
"Hey, what is this...? One woman and child... or...?
"... Tiggle, isn't this more of a woman than a goddess...?
One child on her knees and a tall woman standing in front of her child.
The clothes of a short woman were unfamiliar again.
"Ah, ah. Sure, it may be a goddess... but what are you giving?
"- Isn't that a sword?
Get your face out of the side, Bats says.
As he says, the short woman is offering her kneeling child something like a sword.
It's refreshing to see what it is.
Eventually the three deviate to the side and turn their attention to another mural.
"This is the kid from earlier. Looks like he's fighting something."
"... this kid sounds like a man. Hmmm... Behind you, we have a lot of people with us"
Bats looked, Leonard looked.
Is it some kind of war?
But many similar pictures followed, and, uh, the scene changed.
"Hey. Looks like the guy's dead, but what's going on?
In the new scene Tiggle noticed, there were four people standing around the coffin.
And the mural is coming to an end here.
"Can someone come?
Then, Leonard raises his voice and a knight immediately approaches him.
"Ha! Can I help you?
"I want you to keep a copy of the mural here. Finally, can you ask for the letters?
"I'll take care of it"
Maybe it's important information.
When Leonard instructed him to prepare a copy,
"Let's hurry up. Take the current information to your home country. We'll have to verify it later."
Bats and Tiggle nodded and followed behind Leonard as he walked out.
