A few hours after the incident that saved Flaming Fox.
We came to the entrance of the Magic City.
Even if it is an entrance, there are no customs posts or castle walls, and it is directly connected to the main streets of the city from the main road.
... even in a trading city, but once the customs clearance is gone, it's easy to get in and out.
It was something I could not have thought of in the war with the evil gods.It's really good to make life easier.I think it's something like that.
Well then, I'll enter the magic city, but where is Flaming Fox?
Rowe looked at me from the garden table and said.
"Yeah, I'm here now."
While I say it, I slightly open the chest of my clothes.
There's a big pocket there, and now there's a
Cuuuuuuu
A flaming fox was putting in his body.
My forefoot is caught and my face is just coming out.
Seeing that, Linne and Ferra smiled as they stroked and played with the flaming fox with their fingers.
You liked your pocket, didn't you?
“I see. It's not safe to be in a place where you can hear your master's heart.”
"I mean, this girl doesn't want to leave this place anymore..."
I'll try to get into this pocket as much as I can.
As far as I'm concerned, it's much better than being out of sight, so I'm rather grateful.
It seems that Rowe shares the same opinion,
"If you're close to Eisen-san, there's no problem."... first, let's go to the City Hall.It's a tall building over there. "
Rowe sent his gaze to a masonry building that stood out from the street.
Although the castle stands out for its slight finesse, a sense of heavyness is conveyed from the outside.And above all, it turns out that what you see from this distance is quite large.
City Hall, can you do various procedures there?
"Yes, it would be easier to get permission for the beast to stay in the city - and more importantly, gather information to find the mayor of the trading city."
"Yeah. That's right. That's the original purpose."
I look at the letter I put in the corner of the carriage.
It was received from the Deputy Mayor of the trading city.
From the beginning, Rowe and we have come to the Magic City with the purpose of giving a letter to the Mayor of the Trading City.
And at the end of handing over the letter, I had the feeling that I should be able to say hello a little bit.
Whatever happens, we need to find the mayor of the trading city.At the same time, if I could get the permission of the Flaming Fox, I could do it with one stone and two birds.
Well then, let's continue to the city hall in the center.
"Oh, please."
As it was, we walked down the central street of the magic city.
The stone-covered central street is quite wide.
There was not only no problem for the carriage to pass, but even if the carriage came from across the street, there was enough roadway space to allow it to pass.
Furthermore, it was built into a stepped sidewalk to make it easier for people to walk.
There's a lot of people walking there,
“It's a beautiful, busy city, no less than a trading city.”
It was a city that seemed that way at first glance.
"There are many magic tricks used to develop the city, as well as the name of the magic city."Zoning and road maintenance are also frequent and easy.Besides that, magic is also applied to meals. ”
Oh, is that so?
"Yes, there is also a magical cooking place where you can cook more effectively."Of course, you can eat meals, but there are also delicious sweets in a magical setting.It's also famous for its magic ice cream, and I'll show you later. ”
"Oh, that's good."
It is good to eat the specialties of the city, but it is also interesting to know the culinary characteristics of each city.
"Wow! You can have dinner with the master!!"
"In a magical city, you seem to be able to taste something different and delicious again, Sensei, I'm looking forward to it."
The two women were also happy.
It's really good to be able to enjoy your job in every city.
“Yeah, we need to deliver this letter to the mayor for a nice meal.”
Yes!
A few minutes down Central Avenue with a view of the city.
When we arrived at the city hall, we got off at the carriage depot in front of the government building.
Then, after waiting for Rowe to place the carriage, he stepped inside the government building.
The City Hall of the Magic City was so big that its height was more accentuated when it came to the front.
... there's plenty of room inside.
The ground-floor lobby has multiple counters, each staffed by a crowd of people.
This neighborhood is close to, or almost the same as, the trading city.
Somehow, there are people moving in a hurry.
“Yes, I feel more calm when I'm visiting.”
I could see the busyness in the faces of the officials behind the counter.
There aren't that many people in the lobby, and few are lining up in front of the counter.
Even though Rowe's unicorn and Yan Fox's permission application were soon removed, the response was quick.I know it's not like you're working hard.
"Somehow, it looks like you're in a hurry."And I don't want to share that impatience with my neighbors. ”
"Feira-chan feels it, too."Your emotions are fuzzy. "
"When I saw the situation in the city with Sensei, it was normal... but what happened?"
"Maybe something happened at the city hall."...... In the meantime, I've received your application for permission from the Demon Beast. Shall we go to the next counter? "
Rinne and the others were talking.
That's when it happened.
”Oh... Rowe-sama?”
Such a voice was called from the outside.
"After all, is it Rowe-sama?" Why are you here? "
Rowe knew the woman who called out to him like that in the City Hall of the Magic City.
Melissa, you were here.
Woman in a cute dress - Melissa nodded firmly as she returned the words.
“Of course, I have to serve as mayor's secretary in a trading city.”
While saying that, Melissa looked at the faces near her.
"So, what can I do for you?" And what about you guys?It seems that Ferra-sama is with you..... "
"You're as sensitive as ever to noticing your fellow travelers.In any case, the people here will be my customers or customers to the mayor of the trading city.You're in a magical city, so I'm sending it to you. "
Briefly, Melissa tilted her neck.
"Are you... a customer?" I know Ferra, but I don't recognize anyone else.--No, I mean, Ferra-sama has a different atmosphere, too. "
Melissa said so as she looked at Feira, who was still clinging to Eisen and smiling as she waved her hand back at her.
"Well... it's only natural to see the atmosphere differently..."
She's been away from the trading city for a while.
... you only know what happened to Feira before we met again with Eisen.
It's quite a transformation, and I know how it feels.
When you think about it,
"I've never seen Master Ferra stick around, and there's something going on."In the meantime, if you are a customer of the mayor, can you introduce me? "
Ah, I see. Let me do it in the meantime.
Talking to her, the secretary of the trading city, will make things easier.Thinking so, Rowe headed towards Eisen.
"I'd like to introduce Eisen and Linne, who I think are new to us.This is Melissa, the mayor's secretary of a trading city. "
Along with those words, Melissa bowed.
Nice to meet you. My name is Melissa from Secretarial .
“Nice to meet you, Eisen.This is Linne, my friend. Thank you. "
Eisen will give it back to me as she pleases.
Thanks to that, Melissa's expression seemed to be slightly less vigilant.
"Thank you very much."... so what can I do for the Mayor this time? "
"Mr. Woods of the trading city asked me to give him a letter."You can find more details in this letter. "
Eisen gave him an envelope.
It's a letter from Woods.
Melissa could tell at a glance,
"It's true that the deputy mayor gave me a magic mark..."May I check? "
"Yeah, it's okay. Mr. Woods told me that the secretary might see it first."
"Thank you, I will check."...... let's have a cup of tea in the chair over there. "
"Oh, I got it."
Rowe moved along with Eisen and Melissa to the coffee space in the lobby.
And Melissa looked at the letter for dozens of seconds as she took a breath of tea.
As the reading progressed, a sweat began to appear on Melissa's forehead, and she opened her eyes a minute later.
Then, I sent a letter to Eisen.
... I know exactly how you feel, yeah.
"You always react like me or David."
"Speaking of which, that's right.I think it's because it says something about my identity in the letter. "
As Eisen said, the contents of the letter depict why Eisen and the others were in addition to the beasts attacking the trading city.
Eisen and the others, including herself, were shown the contents of the letter by Woods before she left, so she has already grasped it.
... including Eisen, who decided that it would be better to do so in order to facilitate a smoother exchange...
Before writing the letter, Woods consulted with himself and Eisen about the contents.
Around the mayor of the trading city, there are many people who have a strong mouth, and they do not suddenly say anything, which makes it possible.
Indeed, Melissa in front of her did not make a scene, but opened her eyes.
It's the same with the Rows, but this is how they react after all.
The behavior was clearly suspicious.
"It would be strange if it didn't happen like this."If you're close to a hero or know a legend, it's Judea. ”
Not only are hundreds of heroes war heroes, but they also support the development of society and are still active today.
Such a mentor's existence that they uniformly talked about was half received as a legend.When I was informed that it was the person in front of me, it was also a shock, and naturally, it was a terrible thing.
So we have to be careful about the people who inform us,
... but Melissa is still calm.
Thinking of it, Melissa's shivering voice flew towards us as she lowered the volume of her voice.
"This content must be true..."It was a letter with the magic stamp of the deputy mayor.You know this, don't you, Master Rowe? "
"There's no mistake or lie about what's written there. It's all true."
"However, I see... should I say that this is because of Ferra-sama's different atmosphere..."
Beyond Melissa's gaze,
"Linne-chan, Linne-chan!" It's magically blooming in the teapot! "
"It's true. I thought it was a regular tea, but it was just written on the menu that it was a specialty tea leaf from a magical city."It's an interesting mechanism...! "
Next to Eisen, there was a figure of Fela and Linné who were flirting.
You can't imagine how graceful and beautiful this jerky was in a trading city.
That's why I wonder if you've been convinced of Eisen's existence, which has changed your impressions so much.
"I understand the content of your letter."
Melissa said that as she folded the letter and slowly returned it to Eisen.
Are you all right?
"Of course, I understand what Eisen-sama wants to do, so I'll deal with the mayor right away."I was just in the middle of a meeting with the magic city. "
That said, Melissa tried to get out of the chair.
That's when it happened.
“You don't have to, Melissa.”
Huh?
A voice came from behind Melissa.
When Rowe sees you, there's something there.
"I'm already here."
A woman with wolf ears and a tail stood.
"Yes, the current mayor of the trading city, Lunette Strike, is here." I'm a teacher. "
Yes, I was there.
The mayor of the city they belong to.
