Thus we began to check the route first in order to head to the mine. We all peek into the map of this continent that Richt brought from his drawer. Um, I still don't know. It's so different from the map of the Devil's Continent! The Devil's Continent is often continuous, but it is there that the human continent crosses the sea and other lands. He doesn't seem so far apart, but even the nearest one takes half a day on the boat.

"Well, we're in this biggest country, northeast of Tortiga... in this forest."

Apparently, the name Tortiga was the name of the country. The fact that it is in the middle of the map suggests that the human continent is probably dominated by this country. Since only the sea is recorded on the south side, I'm sure this is the Devil's Continent. When I checked, you were right.

"The royal castle is just out of these woods, so it's not that far away."

"Even though it's a royal castle, it's not in the middle of the country...?

"Oh well. Is there only one king in the country? I forgot this was too obvious."

Mr. Rabbi punched his hand at Ronnie's question and said something like that. Huh? You mean the king is not alone...?

"Tortiga is a really big country. There is a long history of continental reunification... I don't know the details, but this country has grown too big since then."

Said that although it was good to achieve continental unity, it was tough to govern it. I put people in charge of each area, but many people think bad things, many greedy people, and coups have happened all over the place? So the country thought.

They decided to think of this oversized country in four parts. The kings divided between East, West and North govern their respective ranges, and the aristocracy manages them even more finely by region. Incidentally, it is the emperor based in the center of the country who reigns over the four kings. The four kings and emperors have set the policy, and they can each govern. Heh.

We moved to the Royal Castle east of the four. What, so you're saying there's three more royal castles with the same idea? Worried and asked, Mr. Rabbi shook his head saying he didn't know that.

"It's possible that I made a decision on my own in the eastern royal castle... but it should be conveyed to every royal castle sooner or later that I used the transfer formation in this country to summon the Richters. The royal castles cannot hide from each other. I don't know how it works, but it would be some kind of magic."

They don't know if the whole country is an ally or an enemy. Ugh, if you're an enemy, it's going to be harder and harder to escape......! Something, the human continent is more like this, something, less like a demon king!? Like Four Heavens and the Demon King!

"I don't think the country can allow that. But I don't know where or who's connected. Then nobody should believe me. No matter how trustworthy they say it is."

When I hear that word, I remember what Grandpa Leo said many times.

"No matter how kind people are, humans are a species that doesn't know what they're thinking in their bellies."

I feel that's the truth again. We need to keep our heads tight!

"So. The mine is located at the southernmost tip of Tortiga, almost in the centre... right here. It's a place facing the sea. The entrance is certain..."

"On the west side, there is"

"Oh, Ronnie, thank you."

On the west side... When we get there, we have to go all the way to the other side when we get to the mine.

"The shortest route is a way to get across the country. It's the safest route. Normally."

"Normal, huh? You mean the route that could be dangerous for us if the country were to chase us?

"I'm glad my son grew up smart..."

"When did you become Rabbi's son?"

It's a rebellious Richter, but I'm sure it's like a son to Mr. Rabbi. Even Richter's just lit up, right? Probably.

"Let's get back to it, shall we? As for the other route, it's the route out of the neighboring country once. Go south into the neighboring country and take a boat from there all the way to the entrance on the west side of the mine."

I see. That way you can get to the mine almost without staying in this country. Unless you include the sea.

But to see Mr. Rabbi's face, he doesn't seem to recommend much. Is there a problem?

"But I also have a problem with this route. There are two main things. One is that the country will be contacted when crossing the border. In the first place, Meg and Ronnie don't even have a record of coming to the area. It won't be easy for me to get through, and I'm sure you'll be suspicious."

Ugh, well. Ronnie's still fine because he originally belonged to this country, but I'm an illegal immigrant if I say so! Wow, criminals at this age!?

"The other thing is, you don't know if you can get on the boat for the same reason. Otherwise, it is a route that follows a small village in detail. It takes time, and it doesn't change the danger because it doesn't always come whenever the chaser..."

"In the country, but also in small towns and villages, you can pass without being recorded."

"Exactly. Because there are so many villages and towns, it's hard to follow footsteps. When it becomes a big city on boulders, they take records..."

That's it, Mr. Rabbi had a bad grin. Oh, what?

"Huh. You should just metastasize, right?

"Nice to see things! If it's a little big, you just have to sneak into the city on a transfer! Even when you leave."

Yikes! That must be a crime! Though you have no choice, you really sin, I......!

"So you're saying this route is a decision?

Rabbi nods as Richt tells him so, sighing.

"It'll take a little while to get around, but I'm sure. The other routes are risky when it comes to traveling with three children, so it's tough on boulders."

Miss Rabbi lowered her eyebrow butt as she seemed sorry.

"I wish I had more power... I'm sorry, but is that okay? Both of you"

"Also, of course! Rather, as much as I wanted to thank you!?

"Yeah, me too..."

You've done so much for me, and you've thought about this. You can never complain because you're going to bother your head and move for us!

"Hehe, thank you. It's an adult's job to help children. Don't hesitate to tell me if anything happens."

I think Rabbi, who said that and stroked me and Ronnie's head with a laugh, is a really cool adult! Ugh, I think I'm gonna cry!

"All right, if you decide to, let's get ready. It's night out of here. I'll pack my bags so the kids can go to sleep now."

"Oh, I'll help too!

That's how Richt named himself for Mr. Rabbi's words. Then I thought, too, but Mr. Rabbi shook his head to the side.

"I'm used to working all night. But you're not. Don't rest now. You'll have more trouble getting down on the night trip."

So go to sleep now for me too, Mr. Rabbi said, abandoning him and headed to the back of the room. hey, what a good guy......!

"... regrettable, but that's true. We need to be more powerful."

Both me and Ronnie nodded over and over again at Richt's words. And for that, as I was told, I have to go to bed now! Me taking three sleeping bags out of my storage bracelet quickly. I got it from all kinds of people, so I have about two more! I suddenly let it out, so I turned to the two of them with my eyes rounded.

"I have a bed in my room... but do you want to sleep here for all three? I'll borrow it, Meg."

"Aye! Come on!

Thus, we go into the sleeping bag to lean against the three of us. I was worried that I could sleep because I was full of anxiety... but I realized that I was relieved because they pinched me, and I was traveling to the world of my dreams. If I did, where'd the tension go?
