The planned inspection of the Magic Train was to be visited unexpectedly early.

A week since I've been here. In the meantime, the princess just cleared her paperwork so she could move.

While competent, she is a princess in real trouble because her footwork is light. Anyway, I haven't finished my paperwork yet!

The fact that the princess is moving means I'm going to follow her in the Armunale, and I'm going to need more paperwork again. Well, it's just an inspection this time, and there won't be any fighting, so can we just not have the paperwork for the armed replenishment?

With that in mind, activate the fuselage.

The mechanics' efforts were well understood for a smooth rise.

"What do you say, I'll do my job exactly, even without you!

"Yeah, it's a good job. You can move without stress."

"Armed is one gun to the usual two swords and one shield for now. The magazine holds two."

Copy that.

Check and verify the number of weapons displayed on the monitor.

"Then I'll go"

"Whoa, come on!

I give Mr. Ritz a good thumb up, and I give him a thumb up in the fuselage as well.

Near there, Pamira waved as she ran around...... oh, I came over.

I leave the hangar with tears in my eyes and look at Pamira being woken up by Ritz. Head straight to the front gate of the base, where the troops of soldiers escorting the princess and the carriage line had already been completed.

And another Armunale to accompany the princess on this inspection approaches.

Captain Dennis' fuselage.

"Captain Erdo is this way. Form the final line next to Inez-like. I'm going to go to the rear, so I'm going to ask you for the previous one."

"Okay. I'll take care of the back."

When we got to the podium, and more than enough, the princess came. This time it means combining formal inspections, wearing more luxurious dresses than usual.

"Thank you for waiting. Then let's come."

"All units, forward! Target, Eastern Focklake, Magic Train Track Construction Site!

Slowly moving from the beginning, the troops eventually made their way through the base and onto the plains.

We arrive at our destination in roughly a day's time if we are moving troops. It doesn't change depending on the weather, but this time it wasn't particularly raining, and it went well.

The reason it just went better than that would still be the health of the princess.

A normal princess can't be rocked by a carriage all day. On the way, it's something that goes slowly while taking many breaks, but the princess has skipped all of those breaks and proceeded at exactly the same speed as the march. That's Princess Ohiko. Your health is picky, too.

If things went well with that in mind, it would have been noisier up ahead. Smoke is also rising from a little distance.

"My knight, what's that smoke?

"That's..."

With a question from the princess, I expand my Armunale vision and look ahead. There were tracks and demon trains that were just under construction right now.

"I think I see a place for an inspection. Smoke seems to be coming out of the Magic Train. I'm not particularly in a hurry, and I'm guessing that's the specification."

The surrounding humans continue to work normally, and there are no anomalies in the Magic Train itself. Are you steaming something like a train? No, you're not supposed to be such a hassle, and you're probably chilling to prevent overheating.

The abnomule also seems to incorporate a variety of systems to prevent abnormal heating.

"Really, it's going to be sunset, and the inspection is going to be tomorrow"

"Yeah, it looks like work is going well for now, above all."

Given the distance from here to Focklake on the second defensive line, the installation of the tracks is surprisingly progressing in about a week. For this matter, we're going to be able to reach Leitarki by the end of the month.

"Brother, no. Your Majesty has also been notified to actively carry out this work. You must have a lot of morale."

"I see."

Some orders from kings are motivated from top to bottom.

Then, as they approached the construction site, the march stopped and the soldiers began preparing camp for each of them.

Since I have not brought the other troops this time, I do not need to be prepared because I will also be entering a tent that will be ready in the immediate vicinity with the Princess's escort. How helpful.

Then, after the installation of the street, the person in charge of the scene and thought came to the princess's tent.

"Welcome, Princess Ines. We would like to welcome you in the field."

"Thank you. I'm sorry you're busy. I really wanted to see the crime scene."

"No, if you look at Inez at first glance, the people in the field will be so excited."

Outside, the princess, who asked me to speak up, nodded with a smile.

"Tomorrow morning we will begin our inspection, but you will all continue your work normally. I'll go around myself."

"Generous treatment. Thank you. You will be tired today with long distance travel. I will be here to excuse myself, as I will bear many inspections and walks tomorrow"

"Yes, thank you."

The princess nods and the man leaves the tent.

I dropped it off and asked the princess.

"Isn't it faster to collect them all? Either way, if you try to turn around, it makes a difference, right?

Who could have called, who could not have called. When asked whether it would have been better to speak equally in order for the difference to say so not to develop into later problems, such as not having happened to be there at that time, the princess also tipped her neck slightly with her finger on her cheek.

"There's that too, isn't there? But that's going to be the end of just looking at the Magic Train from afar. I'd like to see it nearby if I could."

"So when I speak directly,"

If you speak at the work site, there should be rails and demon trains in the process of installation nearby. So you want to see it close by.

A child!

"If I could, I would have liked to take the Magic Train the most! But he didn't give me a ride because he said it was safety or something! As good as you can see!

"Yes, yes, I understand. Then it's early tomorrow morning, so just go to sleep."

"I will. See you later, my knight."

The princess said she would change, so the neighbors would kick me out.

Well, since I don't have a hobby of seeing the princess dressed, do you decide to head to the neighborhood for safety checks as soon as possible?

What to do... I'm just going to make a few safety checks, but I found something troublesome.

I steal and listen to suspicious men's conversations from the bushes.

"What are you supposed to do?

"I'm fine. The people who infiltrated us move."

"The example bump."

"Secured. I got rid of the people around me, too. But are you sure you want to do this today? The princess is here, isn't she?

"That's why this is a great opportunity. Will they take our interests away from us like this? I don't know if she's a princess, but don't take it personally to vandalize people's islands."

"Oh, hey..."

Another man suppresses a man whose voice has grown out of anger.

What a disgust to see two men intertwined in a bush. These guys just got tied up, let's go home...... but it feels like a lot of trouble. They're trying to infiltrate me, and I don't know how many of them I have. Besides, it's an example of a bump. You're one of us, so talk by name normally...

"Let's go."

"Ooh."

You calm down, the men move out.

I snuck after him.

The men out of the bushes headed for a storage area for materials. When I say storage, I just pull the seats and put the rails and pillows in a little bit of ground.

And oddly enough, no one has the security they're supposed to be.

Is this the one that got rid of him? So you're saying the guy in a position to move us all the way to security is one of us? If so, you're a little troublesome.

Isn't this some kind of work like Ace or something? Why am I the pilot? It makes me want to step down in the Armunale.

And for some reason, I heard a generator sound I was used to hearing from the storage yard.

"Huh?"

If you look at you by surprise, the silhouette of a giant floating in the dark.

My eyes spotted what it was in one shot.

"Abnomule!? Besides, it's made of empire!

Why is there an imperial abnomule here!

He immediately jumps out of hiding and runs to my fuselage.

Being out here means the aim should definitely be the Magic Train. Then we have to stop at all costs before they destroy the body.

By the time I get to the fuselage, the soldiers who have already noticed the noise are rushing around to find out what's going on.

I magically jumped into the armunale cockpit and activated the fuselage.

There, the princess shows her face from the tent.

"What is it!?

"It's the Empire's Abnomule."

"Enemy attack!?

"No, thank you. Something's wrong. If it wasn't a group, it wasn't attacked from somewhere. Thank you, it feels like it was brought in under cover."

"I don't know what's going on!

I guess so. Even if all of a sudden they say this.

Even I wouldn't have known if I hadn't seen the thick tangles between those guys. In the meantime, what I need to do.

"The enemy seems to be one plane, so we'll contain it here. If you even interrogate the pilot, you might know something. And the princess gathers her sides and soldiers around her and never leaves the tent. Hi, it looks like there are a couple of people who got mixed up in the construction crew."

"Wow, I get it. I'll take care of it!"

Copy that.

Activate the fuselage and stand up.

The enemy plane was walking straight to the rails, looking for somewhere. But walking is unpredictable and the pace is very slow. It's like it's the first time I've ever been on it.

That'll be enough in time.

"Abnomule there. Stop the generator and get out of the fuselage. If you surrender, you will not imitate."

"Ugh! I'll do it! Do it!

What I heard was the voice of a man in an excited state.

This is completely deafening. Then...

"I warned you."

Running all at once, jumping into the abnomulet's nostalgia. And with a one-bearer guideline, he threw down the abnomulet.

"Guh."

"Looks like your belt was decent."

Flip the fuselage that is falling to the ground and snag open the cockpit hatch.

"Come out. Or I'll stick my finger in it."

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!

Three, two, one.

When I let my fingers touch the cockpit hatch, I jump off the cockpit like a man panicked. And I fell off my feet to the ground.

"Yes, it hurts."

The man must have even broken his leg on a fallen clap. Roll around holding your tibia on the spot.

"Soldiers! Secure it."

If I gave orders to a soldier who was close by, they immediately seized the moving man.

Dropping off a man who would be taken with a wake-up call, I decided to look around to see if there were any other guys or fuselages acting weird.

Patrol for a while, make sure nothing more happens, and then I'll go back to the princess too.

By then, the soldiers brought in by the princess had deployed and started to provide security. I can go back in peace with this.

"I'm back now"

"Thank you. Do you understand anything?

"No, the man I caught turned him over to the soldiers, so nothing yet. For now, I looked around the area, but I didn't see anything else that looked like a plane shadow."

"Okay. Shall we wait for the information?"

Get my share of tea in the vicinity, too, and wait for the soldiers to hear from me.

And about an hour later, one of them was delivered.

"I interrogated the man in custody and found him to be a merchant doing business in the vicinity"

"Merchant?"

That's the answer no one here expected.

"His name is John, and he's a man with a sizeable chamber of commerce in a long time ago. The empire's abnomules also seem to have repaired and fabricated the aircraft recovered from the battlefield."

I see, I collect some fuselage because it can be used as iron, but that's not everything either.

Sometimes heavily damaged or airframes that are difficult to recover are left intact. I knew the merchants would collect that and sell it off as iron, but I didn't know anyone would collect parts to fix it.

"So, did you know why you did this?

"Yes, the man says, the completion of the Magic Train kills the merchant. He wanted the royal palace to stop the construction, but he didn't listen, so he went out to exercise his strengths.

"Kill the merchant..."

You remember something caught on that word, the princess puts her hand on her chin and thinks of something.

"Sounds like you should listen to me for a second."

"Is the princess in person? I just want you to be a little shy."

He's the one who rode the abnomulet and tried to storm it. Honestly, as the princess's Kingsguard knight, I want you to stop facing a dangerous man who says so.

"My knight will protect you, won't he?

"I'm better at this kind of thing, Angus."

I specialize in piloting.

"I believe you. Call that John here. He wants to talk to you."

"But..."

Exactly. Soldiers are hard to cope with this demand, too.

But, well, I know exactly what the princess said, and I don't know what else to do.

"I don't mind. I will protect you, Ines."

"I understand. Please wait."

If the Kingsguard swore to protect them, the soldiers could not refuse either. When you have material that you can reject poorly, it only bothers soldiers.

"Thank you, my knight"

"That much, please. I'm sleepy."

It's late at night. Let's just talk and get some sleep.

While I bit the yawn to death, I waited awhile, and the man was brought here by soldiers. I am wrapped around my body with rope and tied to my rear hand. Is this about what you can do? Then stand back in position for immediate response.

Stand right in front of the princess and let the man kneel.

"You said John. My name is Inés Norbert Faithal. I'm the second princess of the Faithful Kingdom. Let me talk to you."

To the princess's words, the merchant, still nagging, looks up slightly. Those eyes are filled with hatred that you can clearly see.

The princess, stared into her eyes, showed herself flickering for a moment, but immediately behaved herself as a quenching royal.

"Let's discuss it. You wanted that too, didn't you?

"Discuss? K, Kuk, Cook"

The man suddenly laughs and is smacked with a stick by the soldier who brought the man. When the princess stopped it, the man stared straight at the princess and said:

"The princess of traffickers is now discussing"

and.
