After dinner, Sharsha held onto one book all the way in the dining room.

It's only a metaphor that I'm eager to read, and I'm not really twitching. About once in the past, a drunk Halkara used to grab a book, but that's not what I meant.

"Sharsha, what are you reading?

Put the tea I had for Sharsha on the table and I ask.

"I'm reading a book like this"

Sharsha has shown me the pages that are open.

There is a painting of a small stone castle rising above the mountain.

"That, Sharsha, are you interested in the castle? So, shall we go to Castle Vanzeld?

I think Belzebub will be happy, too, and I wonder if it's just fine. I'm sure you'll be eager to give me a commentary until you take paid leave. In defense, I'm going to even tell you that it's classified.

"Mother, it's not like a castle like Vanzeld Castle"

"What? What do you mean? It just looks the same to me..."

"Okay. Explain it easily to everyone."

Sharsha turns a different page in that book.

The page depicted a giant castle like Castel Vanzeld and a castle that glistened to the top of the mountain.

"The Castle of Vanzeld hits this flatland. It hits the castle."

"Yeah, I know that."

"This is called 'Heijo' in jargon. Castles built by lords in control of their strongholds, with strong connotations for governance"

"Hmm, I see, I see"

"Meanwhile, in this mountain over here is the jargon 'mountain castle'"

For a jargon, that's a neat name.

"'Mountain Castle' was built in the midst of a feud between the old lords, a battle-oriented castle. It's smaller than Heijo, of course, and now there are no visitors, many rough places, but for that matter, it makes you feel the romance of history"

"Heh... So, Sharsha wants a castle on that mountain, right?

Even Sharsha, who doesn't get a lot of expression, generally understands it with enthusiasm.

"Yes. I want to go to Mountain Castle. Especially this place called Takidarn Castle."

Next time, the page opened by Sharsha was a painting that was like an ancient ruin on a mountain, followed all the way by something like a stone wall. There's even a cloud on there.

"Heh, this is really cool!

"Very highly regarded among castle lovers. The beauty can be seen just by looking at the painting.... but difficult"

Sharsha's face clouded there.

"This Takidarn Castle is very steep. When it comes to less than brilliant adventurers, it's enough to give up on the way... You can't just go to Sharsha."

"If that's the case, I'll ride Lycra or Flattorte, and I'll drop you off from the top of the castle."

There's hardly anywhere our family can't go. Isn't it about the universe that's impossible?

"Then, it doesn't make sense"

Sharsha shook her head to the side.

Then I went on like this.

"It makes sense because you climb the rugged mountain castle on your own. Arriving at the castle with ease doesn't give me a real feeling. There's no romance!

Sharsha's getting sloppy!

"Mountain castles are mostly built for combat purposes. Then another splendid feature is the ruggedness and difficulty of reaching the centre of the castle. Riding Mr. Lycra or Mr. Flattorte and going all at once is the end of the fall"

"It's a logical explanation that sounds like Sharsha! So the process to get to your destination is important..."

Well, I don't even know how I feel.

For example, it would be easier if I could get to my travel destination in a second, but I wouldn't feel excited. Although I've never experienced my space transfer magic because I can't travel that far away.

I view that Takidarn Castle page.

How to get there

Take the route carriage from Prikia, the town of Princess Street in the province of Soldikla, to the front of the Hussa Temple and get off at the end of the line.

Route Carriage Transfer to Mount Nagodine and get off at Takidarn Town. Three hours walk to the castle.

Watch out for wildlife and wild monsters along the way.

Just read it and you can see it's in a despicable place......

This looks a little hard to let Sharsha go by herself. By and large, the state of Soldicura is far away. Even if Lycra and Flattorte took me up to the castle, I wonder if it would be dangerous to act alone.

Still, nothing is wrong with me or one of the dragons if they accompany me, so going alone doesn't matter.

It's just because of it, and I guess we can all go hiking.

- I also found that at the end of the page it was written in small letters about adventurers involved in maintenance.

"Sharsha, I think you're probably fine. I'll be a little bit ready, so just wait."

I put my hands on Pompom and Sharsha's shoulders.

I rode Lycra to Sirona's house.

Luckily this time, I wasn't out somewhere. Actually, I was getting a schedule for the next few months. I think it's quite a tundra around there.

I told Sirona that Sharsha wanted to go to a place called Takidarn Castle.

"Your sister!? That's a hands-on guide! I'll guide you as much as I intend to make it a lifelong memory!

"I don't want that much enthusiasm..."

Nevertheless, I think the role of guide is decided in Sirona.

"Sirona was involved in building this castle."

Sirona's name is so small in Sharsha's book, but it says it. It's information that has nothing to do with the description of the castle itself, and I think Sharsha overlooked it.

"Yes, because if you leave the ruins, they can collapse. It's dangerous when people get lost there, and it can become a place for bandits and monsters. So I need to get my hands on it, but that's when adventurers come into play."

It is indeed a dungeon in a broad sense, so can it not be left as it is? It should be noted that, in a narrow sense, the dungeon seems to give only underground caves, but the towers and abandoned castles are also known as dungeons.

"You may also discover valuable items from old castle ruins here, and they taste great. I will donate my archaeological materials properly."

Oh, no wonder the castle has treasure asleep.
