Reach the general open area at the top of the walls by pulling Garnett's hand, who struggles badly against a longer skirt he is unfamiliar with.

- The sight we see from it was exactly what we deserved to call a spectacular view.

A vast earth surrounding the king's capital.

A brave great river running right around the corner and a long, wide bridge built on it.

Several streets stretch from the Wang capital, crossing the horizon repeatedly with branches and crossings.

There are countless carriages and people to and from.

It is the same for the rivers, where various transport vessels, large and small, enter the canal through the great river and stop near the watergate of the walls to await the order of the examinations.

The sight of so many ships lining up is rarely seen inland.

Is the faint shadow on the horizon a nearby city?

Neighboring cities also seem to boast a considerable size around being visible despite the distance.

"... awesome, damn it"

"Hey, White Wolf's. Where are you looking? This way, this way."

As he was distracted by the landscape outside the castle wall, he was called out from the other side with a shuddering mixed voice.

Six or seven steps at my stride, eight or nine steps thick for a garnet leg, on the other side of a non-standard castle wall.

In other words, at the edge of the King's Capital side of the general open area, Garnett is waving at me.

"It's not even funny out there. If you want to see it, definitely this way."

"That way, the Wang Du's -"

He asked me out, but I changed places, and I took my breath by accident.

The walls surrounding the Wang capital reach beyond the horizon and the highly developed city stretches inside it.

It's huge, far beyond my imagination.

I thought it was a very big city from the time I arrived, but this way I can see from the heights and realize that fact again.

commercial streets along Main Street.

Luggage base and warehouse district adjacent to the canal.

Multiple residential neighborhoods that support a huge population.

Green parks and botanical gardens inside the city.

Roughly anything imaginable as a part (part) of a 'city' is inexorably packed into the vast space inside the walls.

I guess it's just a fraction from the whole place I've visited in the last few days.

"That's the Pantheon, isn't it? From the looks of it, it's not right."

"I was doing street art. The square is over there...... oh no, you're not. Is that another square?"

Shoulder to shoulder on the edge of the walls, I look down on the town, and I get intrigued by childish interactions.

No, I can't help all this.

It would be rarer for a guy who has a whole view of the world's largest city and doesn't feel up to it.

"I can tell from here, but the Royal Palace Hill is pretty big, too."

"Bye. It's a perfect location for a defensive base, so I built a castle in such a place on purpose."

"... I'm not very familiar with military matters, but it seems like an amateur idea could magically attack the Royal Palace directly or something... I knew it was taken care of?

"Of course not. I can't help but remember."

Garnett laughed as he went up the edge of his mouth.

It's a way of laughing as if I forgot I'm dressed cute right now.

"The details are classified, but there's a triple boundary between the walls, around the hills, and around the royal palace.

"That's amazing."

Speak honest thoughts.

I can't see the magic that makes up the junction, I can't feel any signs of it, and nevertheless deploy a robust anti-magic defense so extensively - even I, the gatekeeper, can understand that extremely advanced technology and enormous costs are being thrown at me.

The junction that Noir is expanding into the White Wolf store is also so advanced that if you don't say so, you won't notice existence, but that junction is limited in function to perception and alertness.

If it's true that we can prevent all the magic that humans can handle, how the hell is it happening?

"And that's not all. They say there's a sensing junction where you can spot up to every single fish in the canal, and these days they've got sensors that can reverse detect remotely operated magic waves."

"Remote manipulation is magic like Blanc was running the Mad Golem in the Demon King's War."

"That's a typical example. If the operator is nearby, there are some means of deception, but that doesn't taste remotely manipulated. It's only a substitute for Wangdu so far."

Perhaps it would have been easier if that had been in Green Hollow, but that would just be the guy who said no.

"By the way, could I have done something about that?

"Am I right? That's okay, because if you're a resident of Wangdu, we all know 'there's stuff like that'."

Garnett moved her hands flickering with a grin.

"Remote manipulation is useless, or you'll find yourself trying to sneak in and out of the canal, and it's more policing if you dare to fall apart."

"... I see. You mean it's more efficient to keep it in your head than to catch it after you've done something."

It would be a guy called deterrence.

For example, hiding a weapon in a robbery measure is no different than if you don't have a chance of being attacked.

Because the attacking side doesn't know whether there are weapons or not.

If we focus on not being attacked, carrying weapons so that they are visible can be a more effective means than concealing them.

Regardless, this means is not universal either.

You're going to piss off your own fighting power, so you can't get any more fighting power and then eliminate it until you're in danger of being attacked.

That area is a matter to be countered by the combined use of other means of self-defence, and I guess that's how the peace in the King's capital is actually kept.

- Nevertheless.

I look at Garnett sideways, swallowing words that have come to mind.

"What's wrong?

"No..."

I almost say it's nothing, and I still think it should be spoken of.

"... I knew you sounded like fun when we talked about this. Were you boring me a little?

"Ha!?

When I asked that with about half my anxiety, I returned a more genuine denial than I could have imagined.

"You can't be! Well, this kind of thing makes my tongue spin because it's easy to talk to! I'm not bored! This one too! If you're not bored, you're already home!

Garnett has turned his index finger tip to this side with momentum and slapped my chest so hard over and over again.

The faint blushing of cheeks is probably anger, not shame.

It's a total denial from the bottom of the belly.

So I decided to return my honest feelings, too.

"Sorry, strange thing to hear. Honestly, I was anxious. But good if you're not bored. If you weren't having fun, it wouldn't mean anything."

"Damn, you're a little confident. You're mine - don't make me say that, damn it!

I painted the red tide of anger with shame, and Garnett kicked me in the leg as usual.
