Manowa

The only inn in the village of Solae, Tinoah's billboard daughter, Elisa, saw it when it was still past noon and not much had passed.

Elisa, a daughter-in-law who has only just surpassed seventeen, but is not old enough in this area to think about dowry anymore. But because Elisa was the only daughter of the inn, she had decided to inherit the inn.

Then I have to look for a husband who can entrust me with this lodging, but so far no promising man. The young men of this village are all those who have already decided who they will deal with or are about to go out to the city. Grandma Mirla said she would pick up good terms from the city, but so far she didn't seem to have found them.

Actually, the old lady Mirla had a grandson, Carl, close to Elisa, but she left four years ago when she said she was going to be an adventurer. He was a boy like Elisa's good brother, and Elisa thought Carl would be good if she could marry him, so she regretted not holding back or following him.

Carl is a lot like the man who once left the village and bombed his martial name, so maybe he'll be just as famous and never come back to the village again... and with that in mind, Elisa occasionally looks up into the sky and sighs. One of the reasons why Elisa cares so much about Carl would be that she looks like her father.

Elisa's father was an oligarchy but dependable man. And Ziran, Carl's father, was like Elisa's father as a brother, and he was close. Even if I were engaged, Elisa would still think about it. Every decision between parents is a very effective promise in these rural villages.

"Uh, it's been four years."

I haven't heard from him in the past year, but in previous letters I hear he's raised his name there in Minciana. I'm sure there are good people out there.

It seemed more noisy at the entrance to the village as Elisa rolled every love affair with Udauda in her balls like a daughter of her age that way, while she was always paying for the help of the house as usual.

"What can I do for you?

That's how Elisa wipes a little sweat with a towel and takes her to the noise. Along the way, I heard a frightened villager, so I thought it might be a demon attack, but for that reason, no one had escaped and was calm.

(Chuckles, I think it tasted bad that I left it)

Elisa slightly regretted releasing the firewood breaking tools she had earlier, but when it came to battle, Elisa and others were clutched together. In memory of my father's teachings that we should immediately escape without doing anything extra, I decide to go and see how things go for now.

That's how there was a different sight there when Elisa went to the front of the village entrance.

First of all, there was a horse there, whose entire body was covered with pitch-black armor, considerably larger than normal. A huge gizzard horn that I think was meant to kill was sticking out of my chest, and it was a lot of force.

Again the horse was pulling a giant carriage of pitch black. The carriage covers the whole thing with black iron plates, with huge wheels sticking out from the side. It was a carriage dedicated to combat like no city has ever seen.

What surprised Elisa even more was the man in the carriage's passenger seat. Elisa remembered the man's face.

(Father?)

It's similar. He seemed rather thinner and younger than Elisa's father, but his face looked just like his father's.

There was another giant cat-like monster on the carriage. It just seemed to fall asleep on my back in big letters. It seems like a kind of demon, so Elisa thinks it's probably a subpoena or a tamed demon. She was adorable to say her bedtime words.

(You're so big, you might want to touch it for a second...)

I heard voices from behind Elisa watching me think about that.

"You were there yet... the man's child"

If I noticed, there was my father behind Elisa.

"Father?"

Looks like Elisa's voice noticed that her father, Lio, also has a daughter.

"What, Elisa? I wouldn't be done with my salary. Don't wander off."

Elisa shrugs her neck at the voice her father blames. But I can't help but wonder what's going on in front of me.

"But that?

"There's also Lyle's boy in the back. They must be from the Barnes family."

"Oh!?

When Elisa listened to her father and looked behind the carriage, there was Barnes' trail son, whom she had seen before. Lyle Barnes, the eldest son of the Barnes family, the head of Heyvern's Takemen.

I had seen him come to the village several times, but it was something the village girls had heard yellow voices in their urban-like sophisticated faces and tricks not found in the village men.

Elisa was also blinded by Lyle, who was even more grown up than before, but the boy she was with looked even more neat and had a calm adult atmosphere and Elisa felt her heart pound.

The most ambient gaze was directed at horses made of white stone and crystals on which they were riding, rather than at such boys.

"The city is on such an amazing monster."

"Oh brother, you were here."

Next to the lio stood Zillan, Mirla's son. Lio and Ziran, Elisa's father, refer to each other as brothers. I guess it's because I'm from the same village. The two faces were very similar, as if they were real brothers.

"Hey, that guy..."

And then Ziran sees the man in your seat with a surprised face.

"Oh, you're younger than us. Maybe ours..."

Elisa couldn't hear some of her father's words, but I could understand that a man who resembled your father in the throne was someone you both knew.

"Lyle boy with you would mean Wakeari"

Río nods at Ziran's words.

"Father, do you know him?

Lio looked a little troubled by Elisa's words before returning "maybe".

"Which means you're staying in our village. Speak up to your mother and make sure you're ready."

"Yeah. Okay."

Elisa replied that way to her father's words and went back to her inn. And as I told my mother about the entrance to the village and prepared, I saw as many horses as I had just done stop in front of the inn.

And from the entrance comes Lio, Elisa's father, and a group of about eight white capes.

When Elisa looked outside, the carriage had disappeared, and it seemed that a black horse with full body armor and this and a large black squire with full body armor and a small white squire were headed to the simple stables behind the inn. Elisa tilted her neck wondering where the carriage had disappeared, but the first step is to guide the customer.

And when Elisa called out, "There you are," no matter what, the kid was the first to say "hello". On the contrary, it apparently divides a group. Nevertheless, Elisa was not so dumb as to say this for the convenience of the guests, and she said that she was going to stay in the room by breaking up with the men and women as they were, so she led them to each room.

Seeing Lyle and Emily also obey, Elisa asked her father, after the guide, if that child was a principality or something, but Ryo's response was "apparently a party of adventurers named 'White Bunch'". The name was something that Elisa had also heard from a merchant group that came half a month ago.

(It was definitely the name of the party that offered the dragon exorcism of the prince of the kingdom of Minciana.)

and Elisa recalls the story of the troupe.

Because it's the prince's offering. Even Heyvern naturally has the high-profile Lyles at that party, and I ask my father again if that child who is able to follow it is a high-profile person, but he cautioned Elisa with "I don't know, but don't get too close" in mind from Lio.

Lio's perception at this point was quite different from that of Elisa.

I didn't feel the virtues of the aristocracy's peculiar demeanor from that child, and Río sees that child unspoken the Haunted Cat and Carriage. My ears aren't stretched and I wouldn't be an elf, but I don't think I'm the right age.

(Maybe a humanized dragon or something? No, not really.)

Is it not the people of Hyvern who live with the dragon that the near-missed speculation made Río head? It's only natural that Lio himself should have abandoned his idea of flying too far.

Rather than that, Ryo was more concerned about the mid thirty or so men named Jinlai. If Ryo's guessing correctly, I wonder if he's the same as himself. I don't know why he's with Lyle and Emily by the same name as that man, but there must be complications.

Neither Ryo nor Ziran are dissatisfied with their current lives. Maybe we shouldn't be in too much contact so that there wouldn't be a bad spark... and Ryo, thinking about it, headed to the kitchen to make dinner fixes for the first big mouthful of guests in a long time.
