"Say."

When I looked out the window at the voice hung from outside the carriage, the captain on the horse was next door.

"I can see you," the captain said as he turned forward.

Invited by the words, he took a little head out of the window and looked forward, and saw the castle standing on the hill and the city at the foot from the castle, the walls surrounding them.

It is the capital of Klausner territory, the destination.

"Wow."

The time is noon.

The orange colour of the tile roof is bright in the sun, which leans slightly west.

The walls and castles, contrary to the buildings of the city, are dark in colour because of their stone construction.

However, the landscape made the view of Europe that I didn't want to go to and I cheered unexpectedly.

That's what the King's Capital has always been like, right?

Sure, you're right, but you're a little different in Wang Du and Klausner territory.

So again, I'm impressed...

The carriage also moves on while I am impressed by the view in my eyes.

A line, including mine, plunged through the woods and onto a plain with sprawling fields.

Almost there, a destination.

Ever since I left Wang Du, I've come almost (...) straight here.

Naturally because we are rushing to a crisis in Klausner territory.

However, the troops going on the expedition are quite large, and we will not rush to do so.

It took quite a few days to reach Klausner territory, so I sometimes stayed in the city on the aisle.

There was a lot going on at that time, wasn't there?

The problem is not just in Klausner territory, but in a situation where all the lords of their regions are asking for help from the Knights.

That's why when I stayed in the city, the lord of the land asked me to help.

I know how you feel, but you can't make it that long, so I generally refused.

But some of them persevere......

I promised to stop by again on my return from Klausner territory and managed to leave a few times.

I'm a little preoccupied with that.

That seemed the same to the captain, who had adjusted from the way in, so that he would not dare to stay in the territorial capital of the land.

I passed through the plains while I was thinking back on the road and finally came to the front of the castle gate.

Because we're going all over the city, or the carriage slows down slowly.

He could not be stopped at the castle gate because of the touch, but could continue straight to the castle where the lord lived.

The city that seemed to pass was a lot better than the Wang capital, but I think it flourished quite a bit.

There were quite a few more demons and I was wondering if the atmosphere in the city would be dark because I heard it was affecting the harvest of medicinal herbs, which is a major industry, but that didn't happen.

The faces of the wrong people were somewhat bright.

Wasn't it more serious than I thought?

Or does the spiritual structure of the people of this city work?

With that in mind, he arrived at the entrance to the castle.

The carriage stopped.

Take one deep breath and get in the mood.

From here on out, we have to act as [Virgin].

As I was hearing in the meeting in advance, we'll wait in the carriage until we can open it from the outside.

I hear you shouldn't come down from yourself.

After a short wait, the carriage door opened from the outside and the outside light plugged in.

As I peered into my face through the entrance, the captain stood right on my side and reached out to me as I descended.

Although I'm learning it in my manners lecture, I'm a little embarrassed because I'm not used to being escorted.

In an indescribably complicated mood, my cheeks are subtly drawn.

Yeah, let's smile and delude.

Careful not to look weird, he grabbed it gently in the offered hand and stepped out of the carriage.

Raising his gaze from his feet, he saw servants lined up in front of the castle's doorway and a man standing in an elegant costume at its centre.

I guess I'm in my late fifties.

Hair color is grey with gray hair, a little taller than mine.

Is that the lord?

Led by the captain, he advances to the front of the person.

Standing next to the captain who stopped his leg, a man opened his mouth.

"Welcome, you're here. I rule the land, Daniel Klausner."

With his greeting, Master Klausner bows down with his beautiful work, and in conjunction with that, the servants behind him bow their heads simultaneously.

In [the Virgin] and the Lords of the provinces, [the Virgin] has a higher status.

So I don't know what else to do, but I'm very uncomfortable when I'm awed like this.

I am and always have been a common man.

Let's just get this thing over with.

I also returned my greetings as I put up with the smile attracting me.

"My name is Sei Takanashi. I'll take care of you for a while."

"I'll keep the Third Knights, it's Alberto Hawk. Regards."

Mr. Klausner raised his head when the captain greeted him following me.

Then, on behalf of the servant, he introduced me to the deacon and the chief samurai.

Both Deacon and Samurai Chief are in their fifties or so, just like Master Klausner, Deacon is slim and tall, and Samurai Chief is on the contrary a shorter, fuzzier woman than I am.

He just needs to speak to these two if anything happens.

They both had a nice atmosphere and were relieved that they were easy to talk to.

After a brief greeting, he was to show us right to the room.

They'll talk about the current situation in Klausner territory after a short break.

He seemed concerned because he would be tired on a long journey.

Though there was a break along the way, it was a thankful consideration because I had been in the carriage all day.

The room guided by the chief samurai seemed sunny, large.

The furniture had many objects that made the age of calm shades feel, and wallpapers, curtains, etc. were emerald green and uniform in color.

Very nice atmosphere.

"Please use this room"

"Thank you"

I guess the head samurai is busy too, she left the room as soon as she gave me guidance.

After I dropped her off, I quickly sat on the couch provided for the room.

It leads to the back, which makes me feel sloppy.

I hope you'll forgive me for behaving a little badly.

It's my first long journey, and I'm pretty tired.

"Can you change into regular clothes?

"Um, I'll see you again after this, won't I?

"That's what I'm asking."

"So can I stay like this?

"I'll get dressed again during the meeting with Master Klausner, so I was wondering if I could get dressed for some easy clothing."

"Oh, really? Okay, I'll get dressed."

The conversation was with Marie, a samurai who followed me from the royal palace.

Klausner territory may have a longer stay, so he followed me for what I am still oblivious to the aristocratic community.

I can do it myself if it's just about being around me, so I don't have a problem with it alone.

I don't know exactly what to do with my clothes when I see people.

That kind of aristocratic part decided to ask Marie for help.

Later, some things are external.

It seems to be a problem for the people of the Royal Palace that [the Virgin] does not have one of the samurai attached to it.

Besides Marie, there's another maid following me from the royal palace.

While the other samurai was unpacking the stuff she brought from the royal palace, Marie took the clothes she always wore out of her luggage.

Get up off the couch and take off the robe you were wearing.

The robe is a luxurious item I used to wear when I saw it with His Majesty the King.

On the road, I always wore the robes of the Court Demon Division, but today I was wearing this fancy costume because I was meeting with my lord.

I'm not cramped because it's not a dress, but my shoulders are stiff compared to everyday wear.

Hmm?

"When you see your lord, don't you wear this robe?

"We have another robe for you, so I was wondering if you'd like me to get dressed there, would you like it in your dress?

"No! Please be sure to robe me!

"Yes, sir."

I heard you were going to get dressed before your meeting with Master Klausner, so I thought you were going to get dressed for a moment, so I checked, but he had a proper robe available.

I was in a bit of a hurry when I was about to become a snake.

Politely saying no, Marie and the samurai laugh couscous.

Because you know I don't like cramped dresses.

I don't know what else to do, I'm not used to it.

No, I don't even think about wearing it from time to time.

As I dressed for everyday wear, the samurai showed me another robe.

This one is also luxurious.

Water-colored fabric with fine embroidery in various coloured yarns.

Marie's story is that in addition to this, she brings some dresses.

Would it have been nice to have all these fancy costumes ready......

You guessed what you were thinking from my subtle expression, telling me, "If it's something that [the Virgin] wears, this much is fine".

I hear Era has many similar dresses.

He said it was a gift from the First Prince.

The samurai secretly told me that Marie had found me and had cautioned me.

When I was finished dressing and talking to the two of them unpacking, the door to the room was knocked.

When Marie responded, she was the head samurai earlier.

Apparently, he delivered the tea for the break.

"Thank you"

"There is no such thing. Take your time and relax."

I thanked the chief samurai for arranging a set of tea at the table in front of the couch and she gave me a flamboyant smile back.

Mr. Marie took over the rest of his salary, and the chief samurai left the room again.

The color of the tea poured into the teacup is light.

It looks like a fragrant herbal tea was prepared.

Boulders, a major region of medicinal herbs.

I feel like I've had a drink where I was in Japan, but what herbs are you using?

As I think about it, I reach for the apple that was served with the tea.

Included in the mouth, the refreshing acidity and sweetness spread in the mouth after a snug tooth twitch.

Sweet stuff is good for getting tired, right?

So, talking to Marie and the others, relaxing, the time quickly passed and it was getting darker out gradually.

Is that it? Did you see Master Klausner?

"Did you see him yet?

"I haven't asked for more time. Shall we check?

"May I ask you a favor?

Yes, talking to Marie, the door to the room knocked again.
