With our neighbors, the journey by carriage took a long time.
There were times when I was traveling safely while escorting, but I didn't think I'd be living in a carriage for five days.
I was glad to have experienced the expedition beforehand at the request of eliminating the Griffon.
Otherwise, I would have been a groggy by now before I arrived in the Kingdom of Filgen.
These monsters are a little different from the Hendir Kingdom.
There were monsters along the way, of course.
They were defeated by the guards, but they were somewhere different from the monsters of the Hendir kingdom we knew.
"The environment will change the ecology of monsters."
"When it comes to the environment... the territory of the Kingdom of Filgen often sees lakes, so does that have anything to do with it?"
When I say so, the referee sitting in the opposite seat nods. [M]
"Yeah, it looks like a lot of rivers and lakes because part of the country faces the sea. I don't know."
View from the carriage window.
Unexpecting voices to be heard in a lake that can be seen from the gap between the trees in the forest.
Is it possible to eat seafood in the Kingdom of Filgen, as the Kingdom of Hendir was a landlocked country? If I had time for sightseeing, I'd love to try it.
"Oh, Kite. Check it out!"
Nh?
Sif, who was looking out the window, stepped out in high spirits.
Looking at what he was looking at, me and Rifa, there was a spectacular sight.
"The kingdom facing the sea....."
What popped into our eyes was the imperial castle and the castle town that surrounded it, on the one hand, and the kingdom of Hendir, on the other.
There was a sea that surrounded half of the castle town, lined with many fishing boats.
"That's the Kingdom of Filgen....."
"A maritime city, not to mention a country where nature, the sea, is closely involved in people's lives."
There were similar foreign cities in the original world, but this one has a big castle, so it looks completely different.
Wow, this world.
There is really more than I imagined. [M]
I was simply moved by the sight in front of me, and Rifa, who was watching the same sight next to me, whispered something small.
"There seems to be a lot of fish."
"There's something more bothering you...."
More than anything else...!
Speaking of you, it's like you, but...!
"Ladies and gentlemen, we will soon be arriving in the Kingdom of Philgen."
Looking at the view of the Kingdom of Filgen from the window, Jeff, who is escorting them, sends a magic horse on board.
"Pack your bags and get ready to go out."
"Yes, I understand."
"Yeah."
We nod to his words and pack our bags as well.
It seemed like a very long journey for me personally, so I can finally get to where people are.
It's a place I've never been, so I'm a little worried, but I don't think I'll be able to enjoy reuniting with Shishihara or seeing the streets of this world I haven't seen yet.
"... wait. I feel like I forgot something...."
Ah, something caught in my head while putting my hand on the bag.
Something very embarrassing, like forgetting something important.
About this assignment... it's still okay.
Forgotten stuff... maybe not. Even so, I can prepare most of them in that city.
Then what is it? It's not something.
"Kate, what's wrong?"
"Cu?"
"... ah, ah, it's nothing."
There are also magicians who cannot be forgotten.
Well, then, it's just because of your mind.
It won't come out especially if you think about it, so it will be unique from the tension before the event.
That's how I decided to start checking the contents of my luggage again.
●
Kingdom of Filgen.
It is a kingdom facing the sea.
In a country where the aquaculture industry is dominant, stalls lined up in the city sell items along the way.
Should we say something or should we say a market that has expanded widely?
Looking at the scenery from afar, me and Rifa waited near the carriage to see how to use it from the Kingdom of Filgen.
"I've informed the guards of the Kingdom of Filgen about you two, and someone will be here shortly."
"Thank you for your time."
"Welcome home."
I'm supposed to break up with Jeff here for a while.
While we were here for about a week, the escorts on the road said they were waiting for us at the inn.
"Good luck to both Mr. Reefer and Mr. Kite. I hope we can help you, so please feel free to visit me if you have any trouble."
"Yes, thank you."
Nod at Jeff's words.
Do you want to visit me if you want...? I hope that there is no such thing, but I am relieved that there is a reliable presence in the event of an emergency.
I think I've had some trouble with the guards in the last few days.
With a knight who loves animals with good eyes, he exchanges subtle thumbs-ups.
At that time, the men in the blue guild uniform will come to us.
When they look at my face, they somehow look surprised. [M]
"Hmm, real...."
"... yes?"
"Nnh, excuse me. A valiant servant of the kingdom of Hendir? We are members of the Guild of the Kingdom of Filgen. I will now guide you both to the guild."
... what is it?
Aren't you surprised to see Rifa at a time like this?
He has cheeky ears and, above all, looks straight.
The contents are a little bumpy.
"Kate, didn't you just think rude?"
"Eh, Rifa's a trick....."
"Why don't you hide it? That's where you hide your lies, right?"
Then I followed up with the Guild staff in the Kingdom of Filgen, thanking Jeff again.
I'm finally going into the city, but I really feel like a market.
It also smells unique to the sea, and it's exciting just to walk down the street.
"Thank you for coming to the Kingdom of Filgen this time. At the time of this exchange, the Hero of the Kingdom of Hendir has not been announced yet... I'm sorry, may I call you by your name?"
Reefa nods at the words of the guild clerk.
"Yeah, I'm Reefa Urugal. You can have a referee. Kite introduces herself."
"Hmm? Uh, I'm Arihara Kite. I came here as a servant of the Rifa."
Maybe you already know our names, but I'll introduce myself.
After all, the Guild staff looked at me and looked surprised.
"Kate, I hope this isn't your fault... but for some reason it looks like you're surprised to see Kite."
"Maybe it's not my fault."
Nod to the words of Shif who jumped on his shoulder.
I don't know, I can't remember where it's important to be so close.
No, are you trying not to remember unconsciously?
Well then, you're Kate to Rifa. The guild will be here soon, so follow me. "
"I understand."
Mindful of the reaction of the staff, I move on to the streets of the Kingdom of Filgen.
Anyway, I'll be seeing Shinohara soon.
I wonder how you're doing.
