Ryusousha ha Shizukani Kurashitai

I walked all over town alone the morning after I revealed it in a town where no one was.

The town is quietly there and the atmosphere is still about to open the door and someone will come out.

"Looks like you didn't abandon town because of the Moon Warcraft damage."

There are no signs of the destruction of the building. Also, there were no bodies of people anywhere.

I can tell the store door was closed tightly and sealed off at the will of the store owner.

I mean, it seems like the people in town left the land voluntarily.

"Is there anything that might give you a clue if you walk? Don't wonder why the residents abandoned this town."

There are still many places left that haven't been explored, but the harvest doesn't seem to be there, so I went back to Sharazard.

"Shalazad, let's search the vicinity. You might know something."

"Search? That's good, but there's no Moon Warcraft around here."

I'm going to be unhappy with Sharazard.

"Because Her Majesty the Queen has told me, and I will do my hunting properly"

"Hmm. I hope so."

Ride the charazard and look around from the sky.

Outside the town is idle, with views characteristic of the North.

"Though there are many conifers, there seems to be no such thing as meadows"

It is said that the north is less nutritious and less suitable for cultivation.

Proceeding down the street, I saw the next town.

"You have residents in this town. Shall we go down?"

Arrived was a small town with a mountain on its back.

There's a dragon house, so I'm going down next to it.

"What's up?

The dragon clerk came in a hurry.

The dragon house was empty, and I guess not many dragons reside there. I'm surprised.

"When I went to the neighboring town, I was concerned that there were no residents. I was wondering if this town knew what was going on."

"Oh, if that's the case, at the Lord's discretion, I'm just evacuating the inland towns in turn. It's this town's turn next."

I could see the answer from the unexpected.

"Uh, evacuation from town to town? Is that ready for a major metastasis?

"That's right. Recently, the Lords sent out a circular to prepare this town for evacuation."

"Even though the great metastasis hasn't started yet?

"Even with respite, this kind of decision seems to be better early, but I don't care what the details are"

"Right. I'm going to see the lord for a moment."

"Then you can walk right from here. Let me tell you where."

I was on my way as soon as I asked the dragon clerk where it was.

The same goes for Mr. Rosana's home, but the northern town has little difference between a normal private house and a lord's hall.

At first glance, I don't know.

It's splendid compared to around, but only with that degree of difference.

I guess it's because the lord's job is enough for one office.

When I visited, a servant came out and was soon to meet with my lord.

It's convenient to be a dragon jockey around here.

"I'll see you first. I'm Leon Fenard."

"This is my lord Tarmi. Speaking of Lord Leon, you were Lord of the Black Dragon Charazard. Rumors have reached this point."

Lord Tarmi is a man who felt calm in his late forties.

The way you speak is intelligent, and there's nothing inferior about words.

"The next town was Ghosttown, so I was curious to investigate. Then I heard that they were starting to evacuate from the inland towns in turn, as soon as I came to ask what was going on."

"I see. Is that what happened? Yeah, we're starting to evacuate sequentially, and it's our town's turn next."

"The great metastasis is about to begin. I am sure that the orbit of the moon will move north, but I hear that will take a few years to do it slowly. I didn't think it was necessary to travel in a hurry at this stage, but why did you start evacuating now?

"I went to Royal School when I was younger, too. I'm learning about major metastases. But would it surprise you if the Lords of the North said they had other information?

For the Dragon Nation, the northern side of the path of the Yin Moon is recognized as a distant land.

I have therefore heard that the ties of the Lords of the North are strong, creating something called the Union of the Lords of the North, connected sideways.

"Is that any other information… I heard that even in the town of Nemin there is an ancient language written history of doorstep"

It was an opportunity for Mr. Rosana to start taking an interest in ancient languages.

"Hmm. Is that Nemin in Harbor Town? So the ancient language history... it's quite knowledgeable, Lord Leon."

Tarmi nods satisfactorily.

"Are those things left in every town in the north"

When I said that, Tamil's grin deepened.

"Different degrees, but you're right. There is something left in the clan of lords. I don't know what's in the other towns myself."

I know there is, but he says he doesn't even know what's in it.

On the other hand, I don't even make public what I have.

"So that's the basis for this evacuation, too?

Tamil nodded.

"We had a talk at the Northern League of Lords conference. That would have been the basis for that. And nobody disagreed."

Tamil told me, "It's my prediction," he prefaced.

"I think it's true that the orbit of the moon moves slowly north in a major transition. However, what about the limited damage? If the damage becomes more widespread than expected, it is the northern town that eats that split. Especially a town off the dragon's crest limit has a small number of dragon jockeys. There are dozens or hundreds of dead people out there just delayed in dealing with it when something happens. Don't you think?

"Right. Dragon jockeys come from within the dragon's crest limits. There will be very few northern towns, so I think there's a limit to what we can do on the spot."

That's why Mr. Rosana was desperate.

I made sure I had dragon jockeys in my town... and made fun of them.

"Let's say we retreated the residents as soon as the damage occurred. Suppose the dragon came from all over the dragon country as well. Still, you can't run away with a set of household belongings. I can't even afford the time to put my assets together. So if it works, it's now."

Lord Tamil told me about the evacuation plan.

He said he is gathering the dragon jockeys held by towns in the north to escort evacuees and follow those who cannot walk.

Collect carriages from many towns and provide them to the evacuees in turn. She said she was using it around.

However, they do not inform all towns about the evacuating inhabitants, and the lord explains them well when the order is nearer, taking care not to panic.

"Wouldn't that have been a good wish to His Majesty the Queen"

"You have a dragon country management meeting every month. You could have talked there. But surprisingly few people know what's going on in the North. If your wish is denied, you won't be able to move the townspeople."

Yet if you move on your own, you may think you are rebellious.

When he complained at the Dragon Nation Steering Committee, where non-Northern humans make up a lot of them, he said he decided he didn't think he would get the best results.

"Is that why you're secretly going?

"You will. I'm not secretly insured."

At last, it means that central political judgment cannot be trusted.

The same goes for factory installations in the South, but I think the provincial and Wang Capital firmness is certain to exist.

"So where did the evacuees go?

"Out to the harbor and from there you will cross the path of the Yin Moon by boat. Anyone with a stronghold goes there. It is dispersed and settled in several towns if not. And it looks like a new town will be here soon."

Her Majesty the Queen was soon entering the construction of a new town after she found out that a major transfer was coming.

In the case of the Dragon Nation, it is possible because there are few people in the North.

In the past, there have been instances where people have traveled from town to town due to major transfers, and the know-how around them has gathered, and residents know about it.

A few years later, if the great transition subsides, you can create a new town on the land where the path of the Yin Moon was originally located.

Considering it a temporary residence until then, I can tolerate even a few years of cramped life.

"I see."

I've been trying to calculate.

Hundreds in a small village, maybe thousands to 10,000 in a small town?

If we break up into ten or twenty groups, we can accommodate even towns that aren't that big.

It's a viable evacuation plan.

Both that and this presuppose the cooperation of the Lords outside the North.

Perhaps what Lord Tamil calls "insurance" is around there.

Yeah, I was just wondering, but I feel like I've come across something a lot bigger.
