"Is that the Sow country..."

I saw the capital stretching beneath my eyes and breathed unexpectedly.

The surroundings are just dazzling cobalt blue waters.

Floating there was a huge city lined with skyscrapers.

Beneath a cannon-like building, a small bungalow is lined up, plus a number of ships that have never been seen in the harbor.

Anyway, a building was built on a small island, and the island itself looked like a giant creature.

"You have the 'Children of Numbers (Numbers)' Azito here, brother"

Sheila leans on me.

Are you nervous?

Or are you angry?

My lips were shaking a little.

I gently stroke Sheila's head.

"It's okay, Sheila. I'll protect you."

"Brother......"

Sheila dyed her cheeks.

That's where the lay goes in.

It's Cecil.

On that side, Sarasa and Rowan also refrain.

"Yes, sir. As always, you brothers and sisters are good friends."

"Hmm? That's kind of a thorny way of putting it, Cecil"

"Beh, nothing...... (If you get all flirted with, you can't get in between.)"

"Did I say something?

"Beh, nothing...... Better than that, I forgive you for going on a study trip to Saw Country."

Cecil turned the subject, wondering if she had pointed her lips.

To that opinion, Rowan nods too.

"You're right about Cecil.... You understand there's suspicion over there, don't you?

"Yet it allowed us to accept. I don't understand."

Sarasa shines a [futuristic view] behind her glasses.

There is still little information and it will be difficult to see a definitive future.

When I saw my worry-talking buddies, I said off.

"The other way around"

"Huh?"

"To clear up that suspicion, I guess you admitted our school trip. If you say no badly, you'll be suspicious the other way around."

Besides, there is still a possibility that the Soo country is not involved in the Children of Numbers (Number).

Immediately beneath ourselves, we may not even know that there is something anti-government organised.

The odds would be low......

To make a demon, it costs money.

In that sense, the Sow merchant country can be referred to as an aggregate of all Galvail's money.

Saw merchant countries are countries that make huge amounts of money from relay trade.

No, I hear it wasn't even a country back in the day, it was recently founded.

This small island nation serves as a relay point for all countries, and once the merchandise is unloaded here, it is redistributed to all countries again.

Geographically speaking, this Sow country is in the best position.

It is the Sow merchant government that is collecting the money.

It was just hard to think that the richest government in the world wasn't teasing the demons.

"Even for that reason, it's hard to believe that the government is going to get our hands on us."

"Sure. The iron rule of commerce is first and foremost credit."

Cecil, the blacksmith's heir, nodded yeah.

"If a missing person, a dead person or an injured person emerges from among us..."

"The trust of the Sow merchant country will fall to the ground."

Sarasa and Rowan will also be in tune.

Then Sheila opened her mouth.

"But brother. I was wondering if Children of Numbers would keep their mouths shut."

"Sheila's right. Those guys won't shut up. Whatever. I scratched the shame out of The Numbered Child. Here I am. I don't think it's shrinking like a turtle. So watch your back."

"Okay."

"Yes."

"Whoa!"

"Accepted."

The companions nod.

I turned to Chrome.

"Sage, people are waving."

Chrome moved his mouth to point fingers.

Look beyond.

Sure enough, a large number of humans were in a row, waving at us.

Among the narrow sow merchant countries, it is only getting wider there.

Over there, I think I can get Chrome down.

"Chrome, get off carefully."

'Yeah! Okay!

Chrome spins and stands the wings vertically.

Once again, the scream of the nasal cry went up.

In a hurry, everyone leads to the wings of Chrome.

Oh man......

It might have taken a little tutoring to get people on top of chrome.

I exhaled as I raised one reflection.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Welcome! To the Sow Trading Country, Branch 5 folks"

It was a man of good width who showed up.

With a turban wrapped around his head and jewels around his fingers, he's very rich.

The thin fox eyes are glowing, but the brown iris is dubiously glowing.

"My name is Argilia. I am the merchant king of the Sow country."

I bowed my head along with the other sides.

"Huh? Shh!

"King of the Sow merchant kingdom?

"Welcome the King himself!

"Wow!

The students of the fifth branch boil down.

I was surprised, too.

I didn't expect the king to welcome me himself, but I didn't see him.

We stepped out of chrome in turn and stood in front of King Argilia.

"Thank you for welcoming the King himself. Thank you on behalf of our students."

I formally appreciated it.

The Merchant King of Argilia does not change his expression.

Is it a sales smile, or is the land such a face?

Anyway, Nico, he gives me his hand.

"Long time no see, Mr. Russell Singh Stark. I guess since last year's Kowloon Cup."

I see.

You met him at the eve of the Kowloon Cup.

I'm not really impressed, so I forgot.

"I'm glad to welcome the superstars this way. Enjoy yourself."

"Thank you.... I didn't just come to see you. I've come to learn about a country called the Sow Trading Country."

"Guhaha...... I heard rumors, but you're tough. Well, fine. There will also be long journey fatigue. First, rest in my palace."

"Palace?"

I looked up.

Looking back at the building behind King Argilia's merchant.

It was a cannon-like building that was also visible from above.

The walls were strewn with vitreous windows, which appeared to be lined with a number of private rooms.

"No way, is this the palace?

"Guhaha! I can't help but be surprised. My job is to meet people, sometimes with over a hundred people a day. That's just high ranking officials from all over the country, too. While we wait, we can't have them stay in a city lodging. I made the palace a big inn."

"Isn't there a security problem?

"Not really. The floors are detailed and, with the exception of the floating stones positioned in the centre, they are almost one-way in structure. I mean, it's easy to understand the intruder's movements, and security is easy to reverse. Floating stones can be stopped immediately in an emergency."

Hmm......

You're thinking about it for once.

After all, it doesn't seem like you're just rich.

"I'm sorry to bother you with this. Have fun."

King Argilia raised his hand and left the spot behind.

We bow our heads and drop it off.

And I looked back at everyone.

"All right. You'll also be tired of traveling. Allow free time until dinner. But don't leave the palace grounds. I'm going to visit the city because it's tomorrow. Keep your health warm today. And don't act alone."

"Yes.... I don't know, Russell. Sounds like a teacher of pull rates."

Cecil makes it and laughs like a prank.

Have you forgotten something?

I'm still a teacher at this...

Oh man......

If you want to take my place, I want to leave it with someone.

I had to flatter my shoulders.
