Ore no Isekai Shimai ga Jichou Shinai!

Noon at the end of winter. The ship that carried us left the port. That's how we're headed, the Zaccanian Empire. It is a land where mountains are faintly visible beyond the horizon.

Sophia and Millie's mother seem tense because they are new to seeing the ocean themselves. I've been watching Spiel from aft just now.

I'm about my parents and kids away at my age, but I guess it's because Millie's mother looks younger. Shagu and I only look like sisters.

With those two on my back, I lay down on the fence at the bow, blurring out over the mountain or some shadow that I could see across the horizon.

"... just don't get a little cold"

Above the mid-winter sea. Temperature-adjusted tattoo Sorcery seems just out of tolerance, even though he's wearing engraved clothes. I shook myself a little in the cold.

But...

"Lion, Mickey"

Fluffy from behind, warmth engulfed me. The scent of citrus arrives and my long, salady hair tickles my cheeks. The owner of that cherry blossom hair is, of course, Alice.

"... what's the sudden matter?

"Eh heh, because it was a little cold.... Didn't you like it?

"No way.... it's warm"

It's really warm. Not only is the temperature warm, but I feel warm about Alice's kindness - I'm a little embarrassed to say.

But you hugged me, probably because you saw me trembling in the cold.

Alice doesn't weigh herself. That stands out, but it's always been - and always has been - such a fine attention. Really, I can't thank Alice enough.

Oh, my God, I can gently put my hands on the arms that envelop me.

"Hey Alice, how far is it to that continent?

If nothing happens, I hear about five hours on a sailboat. That said, I don't know how fast the ship is. So I just shook it as a casual topic.

It's about 50 kilometers to the other continent.

Clear answers came back.

"... Yep, how did you figure out the speed of the ship?

"I didn't determine the speed of the ship. It's like five to six knots an hour, counting backwards from the distance."

"He said he didn't calculate it out of speed... then how did he know the distance?

If you don't know how fast you're moving, you can't possibly know how far away you are. Alice, hugging me from behind like that, laughed couscous in my ear.

"There was a small mountain near the harbor, wasn't there? From the middle of that mountain, you can see the harbour town across the ocean. So, the height to the middle belly of that mountain is about 200 meters in a huge miscellaneous calculation. I calculated it from there, and I came to the conclusion that it was about 50 kilometers."

"I see..."

The earth is a sphere, so there is a limit to the distance you can see. That's the horizon or the horizon. And naturally, that distance takes its place at the height at which we stand.

In the case of flatlands, the distance to the horizon should have been more or less 4.5 km.

Except...

"That's if this star was the same size as Earth, right? Doesn't that necessarily mean you have that calculation?

"If it's the size of this planet, it's more or less the size of Earth."

"What...?

If it's about the distance across the ocean, I still can't even imagine in some way how the sky wobbles... but how the hell can I calculate the size of a star?

"Yeah... you remember I created the Metric Original to make clothes, right?

"Oh. This is the yardstick, isn't it?

"Yes, yes. You built a rail based on that metric prototype. Calculate the approximate distance by the number of copies of that rail pulled straight. I looked in both directions to see how far I could see. And after looking in multiple places, the distance was about 4.5 kilometers."

"I see..."

The earth is not necessarily flat, and the metre original is not identical to Earth's. There must be quite a few errors... but I guess that's true for the big mess.

Somehow, it's awesome to measure the size of a star with a meter of tangent.

"But how did you suddenly want to know about the distance?

"It doesn't make any particular sense. We have time to get to land, and it's called a conversation without any other love."

"Really? I thought I was looking into this to trade."

"... I don't think it would hurt to know. Even if we trade, safety and loading are more important. Anyway, you can't go back and forth in a day."

"Oh well, you are. There was a way to increase the speed of travel... too bad."

"How are you going to increase your speed?

Not to say it's not that important, I've never crossed it fast. More importantly, I was intrigued by the way Alice thought.

But the moment I heard it, Alice, who was holding me, let go of her. The warmth that was wrapping me up was lost, and I remember just a little loneliness.

- What a thought, for a moment, I was immediately distracted by something else. Unexpectedly, I felt gravity accelerating just a little bit. And it lasted for, like, a few dozen seconds and finally fitted in.

"... what have you done?

"It's very simple. I just asked the Spirit of the Wind to push the sail"

"Ooh..."

I see, did you have that hand? I don't care how many sails we push on the ship, but the Spirit of the Wind is a flying thing.

If you do press the sail, it accelerates. It was an unexpected blind spot.

"Well, it has to be activated all the time, and I won't last that long."

"... I see, Liz"

The duration of normal spiritual witchcraft is a few seconds at best. Nonetheless, Liz's spiritual witchcraft boasts a somewhat crazy duration of three days instead of less powerful.

If she asks the Spirit to send the wind to the sail, the ship's speed of movement will jump. Conversely, the wind does not subside for three days, so it is also a little inconvenient when stopping.

In the first place, as I said, there's loading and unloading, and it's not the distance you can come and go in a day. It wouldn't be that much of a beneficial thing, just because the speed has increased by a few percent.

I mean, Liz moaned these days that she was too busy working with spiritual magic to go out. I'm finally getting some free time, but this time in the harbor - that sounds cute.

If you don't, you can't let them stay in a harbour town away from the city of Mullet.

But... I might be able to apply it somehow. Let's remember about a corner of our head. - What a thought, now comes a mild recoil that slows down.

"... that? Could it have left Spirit Magic running until now?

"Ugh. You only used it once, didn't you?

Naughty smile. I immediately understood what that smile meant.

"No way, now you can extend the duration?

"Yeah, yeah. Even so, it's about a minute."

"Seriously......"

About a minute. Sure, Liz has a crazy duration of three days, but usually a few seconds is the limit. One minute is insane enough to last.

To say that it made it possible...

"Maybe in the future it will be a Liz-like duration?

"I just can't do that. Because more than half of Liz's spiritual witchcraft lasts for days because of the power of grace."

"Even Alice can't..." Yes?

I take Alice seriously when I think I hear some shocking facts right now. Shaking her cherry long hair in the wind, she looked back at me with a glimpse somehow.

"You didn't notice? Liz's spiritual witchcraft lasts three days, is that the effect of grace?

"Hey, what?!?

Unexpectedly, I had an unexpected surprise.

No. Well? I thought it was strange. I can't believe that spiritual magic lasts three days, because it's an impossible level of anything.

But... well, if it's beneficial, it's not unnatural or anything. Alice's ability to share senses, detect signs, read Sophia's mind, and benefit are all cheats.

As much as extending the duration of spiritual witchcraft, you'd be adorable.

"... Lion, no way, you didn't really notice?

"Iyamasakasonna. Of course, I knew Liz would be beneficial."

"Hmm? Well, that's right. Usually a few seconds is about three days. Calculate all the time...... tens of thousands of times the duration. You can't possibly think it's weird, can you?

"So, Soudesne"

No, I thought I was crazy, too, didn't I? I just didn't even think about why because in reality Liz says it lasts three days.

... well, that's what I'm losing this time. I guess Alice knows I didn't notice. I'm laughing at Couscous.

She looks cute when she narrows her pale eyes and smiles... but I regret being laughed at because she's cute.

Anyway, I often keep chatting like that. When I saw Alice's face smiling, I realized that Alice's eyes were blue. Naturally, the hair is accompanied by hair decorations.

"Another camouflage tattoo magic to hide iridescent heterochromatism?

"Yeah. I knew it was a lot of trouble when they found out it was a high elf. Especially in Zaccania, where we're supposed to fake our identities, and it doesn't make sense to just stay that way."

"Indeed."

High elves are a level of legend. If that high elf was walking through the city, it would be a commotion, and even Aristia from the Granchez family, no matter how many neighbors, would likely find out.

"... sounds like a shame, huh?

"That would be nice. Alice has different colors in her left and right eyes, but she's beautiful and she likes it."

"What, you like me?

"Of course I like Alice, but I didn't say that"

"Huh!?

When I cut it back in no time, Alice's cheeks stained the same cherry blossom color as her hair. If you can illuminate it, you don't have to do it. - How impeccable to go in there?

At any rate, I can't help it if that's the case. Let Alice pretend to be a normal elf like this. Or should we care a little more about our outfits?

"... what's wrong?

"No, I was wondering if our outfit would reveal our identity."

That's a story in Lieselheim, even though it has recently become an amount that the average person can reach. In the Zaccanian Empire, it would still be an aristocratic servant.

"Oh, then I'll be fine. 'Cause I have a traveler-style robe."

"Oh, that's a good hand job."

Fortunately, it's the middle of winter, and a robe would do just fine.

However... the region is relatively warm, and there is also temperature-adjusted tattoo magic. Alice wears knee-high socks on her miniskirt even in the middle of winter.

I can't see that absolute realm or anything...... I'm dying to go back to Liselheim.

"... what?

I snap my neck when I realize Alice is offering both hands.

"Oh, my God, it's a robe."

Alice says so, but doesn't look like she has anything in her hand. But I remember Dejav in the trick, and I reach out to Alice. Then there was the invisible cloth there.

It's a robe knitted with clear yarn, spun with spider yarn, probably classified as a warcraft.

Apart from humans who refract light with tattoo magic and use paired tattoo magic, it has the effect of making it appear on colored fabrics. Fabric that is finally invisible only to me.

This will allow me to enjoy the absolute realm while hiding my identity in a robe.

"... Alice"

"What?"

"Good job."

I get my thumbs up unexpectedly. Alice laughed couscous at me for being crazy like that.

"Oh, my God, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Nothing. Come on. More than that, check it out. I can see the Zaccanian harbor."

Alice points to the horizon. There, indeed, is a harbour town-like building hidden from view.

"Is that Vek, the port town of Zaccania..."

Of course, the development should not have to be compared to the city of Mullet. But it's not the same building thing that's been in Liselheim for a long time. Somehow it's interesting to have national characteristics.

"I wonder what kind of trouble you'll have this time."

"Come on, come on, don't tell me you're having trouble with us first."

"Uh, you're awake, aren't you?

"I'm awake."

At first the Spiel family. And the city of Mullet at the Marquis de Grand. In addition, in the elves, in the capital of King Liselheim, in the streets of the other day, etc. I don't remember ever having trouble on the go.

"But the purpose of this one is to make a friendly treaty between the two countries. And yet I have trouble or something. That's why I'm never gonna get into trouble or anything this time."

"That's a flag, isn't it?

"... I want to think not"

Whatever it is, the Zaccanian Empire is just around the corner.
