After leaving the Grand City, Aldis joins Nere with the Shar.
As expected, Shal was not interested in telling what happened if Philia and Liana were twins. In some ways, organized education is a rare example of accidentally producing good results.
Rona continues to point at Aldis with a silly expression, but Nere accepts the usual expressionlessly, `` if the Lord decides so '', and twins are accompanied by a companion of their own age. When I'm happy, I start to follow around the shar. Each time, Shall turned his gaze at a grudge, but Aldis pretended not to notice it.
On their way, they escaped the territory of the Kingdom of Nagras without any problems and arrived at Leiting, a city of the City-State Union.
"First, I'll see him alone. Nere and Rona wait here with them."
"Do you take that child?"
"I'll follow you anyway."
To answer Rona's question, Aldis places only one order with Shal.
"Shar follows me a little bit behind me. It's better not to make me think you're with me."
Shar, who nodded with Kokuri, followed Alziz, keeping a distance of no doubt about his relationship.
It was at that time that Ardis, who pretended to be a mercenary traveling alone, entered Leytin and walked down the boulevard without concealing his face.
"Pagan devil! You should receive divine punishment!"
Suddenly, in the middle of the traffic, Aldis was surrounded by men and was pointed at his weapon without asking questions.
"I don't hesitate ..."
Marks Hanged from the men's necks, it was easy to see that they were zealous followers of the goddess.
The problem is the surrounding reaction. It is still good for the passing citizens to look far away. But in his gaze, rather than fear of a goddess who unplugged his weapon, he was more self-sustaining than he wanted to get involved in Aldis. That is the best proof that Aldis has become a heretic already to the people of Leiting.
Looking at Aldis's face and talking secretly, maybe even figure paintings are circulating. While admiring that it's a handy thing, Aldis thinks about the future. Unlike when I left Tria, it seems that this time I haven't got a place to settle down just by changing the country.
"Well, what should we do for this place?"
I mutter myself with a feeling of sighing.
Easy to repel Yes. Apparently the number of people is less than ten, and the ability is at best a mercenary who has just left half a person.
But the problem is that this is in the city and inside. It didn't go as well as in the forest against Father Fukumi and the ex-marquis. Being dressed in wet clothes and being called a religion can't be afraid, but that doesn't mean you can't kill your opponent here.
Aldis knows that an all-you-can-eat-all-you-can-eat-all-you-can-eat-all-all-you-can-make-anything group can be created, but it is clear that the shackles have been severe for the moment.
"Kakeru!"
While thinking about it, the goddess came all at once.
"I'm bad but I'm not going to be with you."
From the perspective of Aldis's eyes, he fends off an attack that can only be described as poor and escapes into the crowd.
"Wait! Don't escape!"
Disregarding the sound of restraint coming from behind, Aldis ran down the boulevard and shook the mercenaries, quickly slipping into one backstreet.
"Well done, the situation is worse than I thought."
While saying so in his mouth, he did not show much trouble, and Aldis turned and spoke.
"Can you ask me a bit?"
"What?"
Aldis had Shal behind her.
A girl who was disguised as a stranger in the crowd in the uproar. Not surprisingly, sticking behind Aldis is evidence that her abilities are by no means low. At the level of pure combat abilities, it is no match for two lactators, but Aldis believes it is capable of dealing with this kind of negative work.
"I want to ask a message from a woman named Marrieda of Ritte Shokai."
"What is the message?"
"Tell me," I'll go see you tonight. "
night crawling?"
"Why is that?"
Aldis sighs while covering his eyes with one hand to Shar, who suddenly makes a meaningless return. While we do not know the common sense that we need to know, there is something strange about this. She was a girl who was biased in various ways, probably because she would need it in the shadows.
"I'll ask for a message anyway. I'm not crawling at night, because I want to avoid talking and talk. I can buy what I like as a reward and go home."
With that said, Aldis tries to hand over a silver coin, but Shal never receives it.
"I can't get money. I'm at work now."
"... I understand. As always, I'll take care of it and buy it. I still can't understand that I can't get the money but take the food ...."
"There is no problem with delicious food because it is necessary for people to survive. It is not a reward, it is the same as local procurement."
Apparently, there is a line in the shar where you can't afford money. She argues that receiving money in a separate account is problematic, provided that it is complete but presumed to be monitoring Aldis. Aldis puts herself on the shelf and wonders if this girl, known as Cesare of the information store, is a kind of girl who is a surviving person in the back society and has something that cannot be understood by ordinary people.
"I'll be back"
Despite Aldis's wish, Shal, who had confirmed the location of the Litte firm, quickly disappeared into the main street.
That night. The building of Litte Shokai in a commercial area near the center of the city state Leiting.
In a room on the second floor where the light was lit, a strange-old woman headed to a desk to do paperwork.
"I'll disturb you"
Suddenly, she screams and looks calmly at a situation that would normally be screaming, and the woman responds to the Lord with a surprising expression.
"Oh? Did you come already? Wouldn't it be better if you crawl the night later?"
"What? Why do I have to crawl you at night?"
Aldis denied words to Marida, the young woman quotient chairman of Litte Shokai, who smiled with a spatula. Aldis remembers the daytime conversation and asks wrinkles between her eyebrows.
"I guess the daughter who sent me wasn't saying that, right?"
"Yeah. I've only heard" I'm going to see you tonight. "
Apparently Aldis understands that it is not Shall's job and is relieved.
"Why is it going to crawl at night?"
"Sorry Aldis. Going to the young girl's room at night is nothing but a night crawling."
Spicy Aldis, who turns out to be just a light mouth, replied.
"I'm young and not too old"
"Hey, don't say that even if your mouth is torn in front of a woman."
"Is that an advice as a" dream "?"
"It's just common sense."
After a brief conversation, Marrieda finishes clearing her documents and turns to Aldis.
"It's been a long time. Two years, or maybe three years?"
"Oh. I met last time before the war with the Empire, will it be that much?"
Aldis's feeling is a year short, but it's troublesome to explain being sent to a different world.
"How much do you know my situation?"
"That's right ..... I wonder if I was heretically recognized by the church and I left the country because of that."
"I feel like I knew I would come to see me."
"I knew it in my dream. I didn't know that it was because of the church's heresy."
Naturally, there is also a church in Ratingen. As long as it was a formal decree, that information would have been communicated here, even in cases from other countries.
"How much information is coming into Ratingin on the heresy certification?"
"Hmm ... maybe a church decree and a picture of Aldis?"
"Isn't it a picture of a figure ...?"
As expected, Aldis claps his tongue.
"But I don't think it's a church with a small influence, and nobody is openly harmful."
Aldis dismisses Marida's idea of optimism without trying to hide her discomfort.
"In the daytime, a group of mercenaries hanging their indicia as soon as they arrived was involved."
"Wow .... I don't know but I don't know again ..."
Utsuta Forgetting the usual way of talking, Marida has become a natural tone.
"I'm everywhere. What are those annoying followers?"
"Totally"
Aldis agrees not to hide his disgusted feelings.
"And what to do now?"
"I was expecting a city-state union to be as bad as a kingdom."
"Laitin is relatively forgiving, but now Aldis isn't convincing."
If you hadn't had one during the day, you might have listened to the words, but as Marida said, Aldis wasn't convincing.
"The same culvous in the Union is the same thing, but the more you go west, the more you will be the more devout followers."
"I heard it, but is the church more powerful in the west?"
"That's a land where the goddess has descended many times over the last few hundred years. It's a different religion from eastern humans."
On the western edge of the continent, next to the city-state union, is the holy kingdom of the goddess-led people. It is said that the goddess itself is directly involved in the founding of the country, and the religion of the people and the influence of the church are not as high as those of the Nagras kingdom and the Armenian empire in the eastern continent.
The city-state coalition, which borders the Holy Kingdom, is naturally affected. It was no surprise that the further we went west, the stronger the church became.
"If the city-state union fails, ..."
We need to go to another country, but there are not many options. You have the option of heading north to the Republic of Bronchelle, from there across the strait to the island of the Alban kingdom, or as a last resort, dive into the Armenian Empire.
Although the Republic of Bronchelle is too strong to be a livable country for Nere and twins, the Kingdom of Alban is said to be unquestionable when civil war begins, according to Cesare. In the Armenian Empire, Aldis was a rampage in the last war. It's no wonder if this is your enemy.
"Well, if you have the ability as much as Aldis, why don't you have to force yourself to live in town?"
To Aldis, who has a difficult face, Marida took out a map from her desk drawer and spread it, saying that she was irresponsible.
"Look, Aldis!"
The map, as prompted by Marida, depicts the entire continent, including the kingdoms of Nagras and the countries on the continent, and their territories.
"The nations have always been fighting at the border and fighting for more territory. Like kingdoms and empires. But Aldis, not all continents are national territories. Not really
Marrieda is right.
There are several countries on the continent, but their territories are mostly inhabitable plains. Conversely, most of the harsh environment for humans is land that does not belong to any country.
Rugged terrain that blocks human traffic, presence of ferocious monsters and beasts, and barren land unsuitable for farming. For that reason, there are many places where people cannot access. A typical example would be the Caucasus Forest.
"What do you want to say?"
"Even if you say you were in the royal capital, you didn't live in the city, right? If you have the ability to live in the Caucasus forest, maybe living here is just one hand. You can't find a nobleman and you can't even get a hand. ''
Marrieda points to a point on the map while saying. It was the Canobis Mountains, which stretched into the central continent.
