My sister-in-law has become a brave man.

Day 46 of the Other World

Ride the White Dragon of Legruza and travel southeast towards the Duchy of Surrell Ode.

Sky journeys on dragons are fast and comfortable because the Wind Spirits actively help thanks to [Wind Jewels (Orbs)].

On the way.

I bearded the map when I got down to the break and talked to him about stopping by.

With less food on hand, Regrouza, who wants to go to the city to do some shopping, points to a point on the map.

"Before entering the Principality of Surrell Ode, let's stop at Chandall.

It was shown that of the several rivers that flow from [Lake of Light] in the centre of the southern continent, there is one that leads to the southwestern sea, just as the river forms the border between the Kingdom of Iguzekus and the Principality of Sarelood.

What a city Legruza calls Chandal in the middle of that river.

I nodded and tilted my neck.

"It's good to go, but is this a city in the middle of the river?

"Chandall is not a city, it is a country. As you can actually see, a magically protected city floats on the great river flowing from [Lake of Light].

Although it is small in size as a country, it has gained popularity as a tourist destination with some of the best entertainment facilities around here, in addition to being a key place in the deal between the Kingdom of Iguzekus and the Principality of Surrell Ode.

In other words, it is the trading market between the kingdom and the merchants of the Principality, the playground of the recreation-starved aristocrats.

"Ooh. Sounds like a fun toco.

Excited to say, he was stabbed with a sakuri nail.

"Rio. We are neither merchants nor nobles. I'm just going to buy ingredients and spices at the market and gather information at the branch of The Mercenary Guild.

Since there are many people and some people are in danger, they are strictly cautioned not to go off on purpose, and I thought it would be a shame, but I reply yes.

It sounds like a theme park and funny when I'm listening, but it's my first place to go, and I don't want Regrouza bothering me, so let's just play around close to him.

Once you get there and remember where you are, you can go when you want with Space Transfer (Teleport).

That's how the story came together, I flew in a dragon toward Chandall.

Day 47 of the Other World

Fly all day on the dragon and decide on a camp before dusk to get ready for dinner.

My role is to collect dry branches and boil the water from nearby rivers in a pan.

It is Regrouza's role to stone together to make a simple kamado, then to look around and then hunt for prey for dinner.

So far Regrouza just says, "Watch how you do it," and doesn't tell me about cooking.

I have nothing else to do, and I watch Regluza judge the prey she has hunted and cook with the grass she has picked for her hand food and hunting as she helps me get a little down.

Regluza is a large hand with sharp nails, and takes out spices and thinks leaves and nuts packed in small bins and cloth bags well, and uses them unwrought without wearing any particular amount.

Hmm. Smells good today.

I was hungry and I somehow remembered the commonly used forms of leaves and nuts as I waited to see if Regluza said "OK" yet or not.

Night.

I was brushing Jack back from the walk, and Eyre contacted me.

I also feel like it's been a while, but it seems the northern prince is not the other way around.

"Nerlacea left the Dragon Wreck Palace.

It doesn't make sense, even if they say it all of a sudden.

I touch [Dragon Blood Bead (Dragon Orb)] on Jack's forehead, who is happy to shake his tail, saying "I am an old man -" and returns the words without speaking to his voice.

"It's been a while. Good evening, as a matter of fact, wait a minute, Eel.

Nell Laicia is Eyre's sister and second princess to the head of Hawkeye, isn't she?

So, what's Ryunantka?

"[Dragon Wreck Palace]. After the death of the ancient dragon Enchanted Dragon, the ancestor of the Dragon Man, the royal family of the Van Grey Empire lives in a palace built on his bones according to his will.

Because of the protection of the ancient dragons, some [Dragon Wreck Palace] say the princesses' seizures of spiritual tone can be suppressed.

Nell got out of there.

"You mean you ran away from home?

"Running away?... Running away, will you?

Eyre, who was quick to speak, stops a step and says in a tone that tilts his neck.

"Nell's destination is a city on the border with the Basque Trove Federation. Amarte left behind in the palace using an empty ship (Sky Ship), [Floyline], specially built by the second generation of brave men for the dragon man's daughter, and managing" The Empress's Bird ".

The ladies and escorts and the three spiritual servants were escorted out, but the men of the palace dropped them off at a general appearance.

That wouldn't be a runaway.

"Looks like everyone dropped me off and I traveled ready?

"The men of the palace are sweet to the princess, because Nell knows how to fulfill his wishes. I used to tell you not to do anything unsolicited until I got back..."

Always confident Eyre's voice is unwell.

"You took the samurai, the escort, and three spiritual users, too, didn't you? Are you still the kind of kid who gets so worried?

"No, it's not like that. Nell has never left [Dragon Wreck Palace] alone. I always accompanied you when you went out.

I see.

So your overprotective brother is worried about his sister, who took three samurai and escorts and spiritual users out?

... hmm?

"Eel. Could you possibly be chasing my sister and riding the dragon right now?

"Oh. You got it.

I think I got it.

You said you were a fine ciscon.

Well, Nell, Laicia says she has a short life span on top of her weak body, so I think it's natural for her to worry about it as her brother.

"You took all three spiritual users and went out properly prepared, didn't you? I'm sure you'll be fine.

So, why did your sister travel all of a sudden?

"I don't know why. All I was informed about was the destination and that I left the palace yesterday at noon.

"Right. Then as for your sister's story, put it on hold for now.

I'd like you to let me know what happened to your discussions with the senate, okay?

When I changed the subject, Eyre's voice, who replied "Oh," calmed down just a little.

"I spoke to the elders of the bear clan, one of the elders of the senate.

The conclusion is that they command their respective clans to search secretly for a third princess, which has already been decided. They can't change this decision now.

"So you can't file a search request for the 'Mercenary Guild'?

"Oh. We can't ask for help from the Van Grey Empire. But I was never stopped or cautioned about talking to the 'mercenary guild' personally.

"I mean, you can't ask for cooperation as a country, but you acquiesce that Eyre comes into contact with the 'Mercenary Guild' alone?

"Probably. I'll keep my eyes closed, so do it well in confidence, I guess. When I join Nell, I'm going to send someone from The Empress's Bird to the Mercenary Guild.

Anyway, the number one priority of Eyre seems to be to meet her sister.

This situation ([Wind Valley] demons are eliminated. I broke up with Heavenly Sound heading west to sign with the Great Spirit of the Wind in the sanctuary, and I was on the move for the capital of Regluza and the Principality of Surrell Ode) briefly told him, "If you see my sister, contact me again," and finished the conversation.

"Dad, I'm done," he said, stroking Jack with a puffy tail.

We haven't been together for so long, so why are you so connected?

I wasn't sure, but I tell Regrouza, whispering at Jack anyway.

"I just heard from Eyre. My sister's empress left [Dragon Wreck Palace] on an empty ship.

"Has the Empress left the palace? That's unusual.

Legruza seems surprised, too, that she rarely does.

Then your brother would have been quite surprised.

Reminds and sympathizes with Eyre's haste, while telling Regrouza what's going on in the north.

He nodded to the reaction of the Imperial Senate, still convinced that it had happened.

"For a long time in the Empire, the loyalty of the people to the royal family is strong. Besides, the beast man is usually proud and stubborn. Involving your Lord would not be a good idea to ask others for help.

Probably because the prince met with the elder man in person to acquiesce in "The Red Prince (Crimson)" talking to the Mercenary Alliance.

"You mean the boss gave in because Eyre went to see him?

"I have no certainty, but I don't think you would forgive me if I didn't.

"Hmm?

But Nerlacea feels like she's traveled with all the energy she needs, and Eyre can make a concession to the boss if she goes to see him in person. An imperial beast may be strong in loyalty, but he's vulnerable to dragon men, or sweet?

"I live on a journey and have never lived in one place in a long time. I don't know the details. When you go to the Van Grey Empire, it would actually be best to take a look.

"Uh. Probably going to the Van Grey Empire someday, too.

"It's cold in the north, it's tough land. You'll need to be well prepared when you go. But first, the Principality of Surrell Ode and the chandal in front of it. I'll fly again tomorrow. Get some rest.

"Mm-hmm. Goodnight.

"Good night."

Drop Regrouza off walking toward the White Dragon and twirl into the blanket.

Night breezes are the cold feeling of winter, the time to appreciate the warmth of the bonfire.

I wrapped my blanket around my body tightly and closed my eyelids under the starry sky when I was buried furrowed in Jack's belly.
