The journey by carriage in the St. Real was more comfortable than I expected.

It was a carriage with images of various inconveniences, but it was so versatile that it was made in the St. Real.

The folding function of the chair, which is the interior of the carriage.

Side mounted shower.

Kitchen mounted on the opposite side.

A light that allows you to travel at night.

Witnessing its versatility during the journey, Chisato and I thought.

A camper.

Leon said that these features are just a few of the things that were created by gathering the excellence of the technology at the moment.

Some of them have a form of combat when attacked by monsters, and some dangerous monsters seem to have enough power to repel them.

St. Real is a bad country, isn't it?

I felt it was more than just technical ability.

It was with that in mind that we finally arrived at the St. Real after a few days of a full journey.

Is that the St. Real?

From the carriage, you can see the full story of the central city of St. Real, which is now approaching.

A city that looks completely white.

It's smaller than the capital of the Hendir kingdom and the Filgen kingdom, but it's like a modern city with dense tall buildings.

It's kind of a pungent building.

"Sure, each one has a different height, so it looks artistic."

Both Rifa and Chisato are murmuring at St. Real's buildings.

Shif, who was looking at the same scenery in my arm, also looked slightly excited.

"As soon as we get there, someone will come to pick us up. Please prepare your luggage in time."

We nodded to Mr. Leon, who was pulling the strings, and packed our luggage in the carriage.

Meanwhile, the carriage travels to the city and stops in a square lined with many carriages of the same type.

"You've arrived!"

She opened the carriage door and told me so, so we go outside the carriage with the baggage on our shoulders.

As soon as you exit, you'll see a state-of-the-art St. Real building.

Three people came to us wearing pure white robes from the tip of their feet to the top of their heads as they were caught in the unusual scenery.

"Are there differences between the kingdoms of Hendir and Filgen?"

Eh, ah, yeah.

"--- Welcome back. Hero, Servant."

Looks like the people who arrived in the St. Real to pick us up.

When they give us their respects, they will guide us to the place where the other brave men and the Servitors are gathered.

On leaving, Chisato is talking to the man in the white robe.

"Have the other brave men arrived yet?"

"Not all of them, but some have already arrived."

I thought you were the first.

Well, people from countries that are relatively close arrive early.

They'll show you around soon, so I'll thank Leon for bringing me here before we go any further.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Leon."

Thank you.

"Thank you."

I thank you in the order of Reefa and Chisato.

Thank you, Mr. Leon, for his bright smile.

"No, I enjoyed my trip with you. Thank you again for coming home."

Then exchange a word or two and leave.

As I tried to move forward while seeing the Reefers walking ahead, I called again to Mr. Leon, who was about to drop us off.

Um, well...

"What's wrong?"

"Kate, can I talk to Lord Leon?"

Shif at his feet is tilting his neck.

It's not that important, but if you want to take care of this person on your way home, I have something to tell you right now.

"Next time, you don't have to speak with respect."

Yes?

"No, I thought you were quite concerned."

Mr Leon turns his eyes in surprise.

After Rifa and Chisato pointed it out, I finally noticed that Mr. Leon, who was talking to us, seemed to be doing something impossible.

Respect is also strong.

There is nothing strange about the attitude.

However, she felt a vague discomfort in her words and gestures.

To put it bluntly, it's a feeling that holds you back.

"I see. I know how she feels about this. Yeah, it's not bad."

"She...?"

The expression behind the hood was just laughing happily.

Mr. Leon's true tone.

It was a neutral way of speaking, but for some reason I felt it fitted well into my image.

"Excuse me a moment."

"Oops!?"

Thinking of it as a blur, Mr. Leon grabbed my shoulder and turned his back.

In front of my sight, surprised by her sudden behavior, I see Reefa and Chisato walking side-by-side.

"The heroes gathered here are full of characters with one and two habits."

"Mr. Leon?"

"Certainly some of you do things that are different from your common sense."

He lays his hand on his shoulder and opens his eyes to the whispered words.

No, Chisato, Rifa, I have one habit and two habits, but other than them...?

"This is a little advice from me. ——— Like you. However, the pure magic glow that lies within it will be supreme."

"Eh!?"

The hand placed on the shoulder did not move, even though he was aggressively turning his back.

On the contrary, my own body didn't move, and the Shif at my feet trembled like he was tied up.

What's behind this?

Who is she?

I finally noticed something unusual, but I can't move.

"If you don't hurry, I'll see you soon. Then I will apologize for my rudeness to you."

"Eh...."

"I'm glad you called me by name. It's been a long time since I felt my heart jumping... so let me say thank you."

Taking advantage of the words, the feeling of the hand placed on the shoulder disappears.

Turning backwards with the balance falling apart, there's nobody there.

He was supposed to be right behind him, but he disappeared somewhere like a cloud.

"... Schiff"

"... hmm"

Call out to Shif, who looks stunned.

I'm sure Schiff and I are in the same mood.

"Was this soft?"

"It's no longer a talent... I think it's too much for someone I don't know."

"I didn't like this...."

I am not an enemy because I am speaking to him personally.

However, there is a precedent called Melia, so it is not reassuring, and above all, he knew something about me.

I'm sure it has something to do with the St. Real, right?

Otherwise, they wouldn't send me here and said they would see me again soon.

"Kate, what are you doing? I'll leave it."

"... rifa"

Rifa calls from behind me, staring stunnedly at where Leon was.

Apparently, he came to get me when I stopped.

"Apparently, I was a man who was really easy to fool."

"... what happened?"

"Mr. Leon, outsider theory....."

"I thought it was suspicious, but why can I immediately notice strange people when I slightly turn my eyes away...? It's not funny..."

Something still seems to happen around me. [M]

... I wonder if nothing will happen if I go back now, but I know best that I can't go back anymore.

"All we have to do is move on...! Let's step on the clear flag, everyone...!"

"Yeah, I'm going out too, so let's get over it...!"

"How difficult is the future...."

"Cu"

"Shah....."

Central city, St. Real.

A mysterious place where heroes can be gathered.

I don't know what to do there, but I'm sure something will happen for now.
