Seiju no Kuni no Kinju Tsukai

Lesson 39: Arrival

There are two escort carriages.

I, Mr. Currier, Mr. Mia and Captain Zeth were on the previous carriage.

They say the carriage in the back is mainly packed.

Look out the window.

A convoy on horseback surrounds the carriage.

We're leaving, Captain Zeth sent a signal.

The carriage moves out.

I went through the gate for about thirty minutes, and Captain Zeth raised his surprise.

"What the hell!? Before entering the city earlier, were you attacked by thieves!?

"Yeah..."

"Oh my God...... wow, I'm sorry. After all, we should have picked you up at the border…"

"Well, I was cut through without harm... and it's not for the captain to apologize."

Hmm.

It's a first impression level feeling......

Captain Zeth, aren't you too good a man?

"Well..."

Captain Zeth opens his mouth with hesitation.

"As a matter of fact, Master Shanatris told Prince Geass that if Lord Crohiko or Lord Currier would be terrified and not lean on thieves, yes. So..."

They even picked me up in a local city earlier.

By the way, if we were going from Wang Du to the border, they needed to make such an impossible trip.

Hmm.

Was Mr. Shanna's advice about taking into account the escort?

I'm sorry, Lord Sagara.

Captain Zeth lays his hands on both knees and bows his head deeply.

This guy looks so good-looking...

He's handsome.

"I mean, I can't believe Prince Gears' Kingsguard captain picked me up in person..."

That would be a generous welcome.

Rather,

"Is it okay for the prince that you guys aren't around?

"We have half the deputy captains and squadrons left, and the prince himself is strong. The castle also has the King's Kingsguard."

"Yeah... What is Kingsguard of the King different from the Divine Punishment Corps, which reports directly to the King of the Military Divine?

"Yes. The Kingsguard has decided that only men can enlist. On the other hand, only women can enlist in the Divine Punishment Corps."

"Oh, did you have that distinction..."

"The... Actually, this escort was supposed to be dispatched as well..."

Captain Zeth's tooth cut went bad.

"Is there a problem?

"Yeah, a little."

It felt cloudy.

Is it a top secret?

"Ah, but Master Shanatris is supposed to meet you properly upon arrival. Don't worry there."

I bowed my head.

Thank you for turning a blind eye to this.

…………

Captain Zeth is staring at me.

"... you know what?

"Huh? Oh, no... you still have a very different impression from the person I imagined..."

I laugh.

"Ha ha... it seems like you are often thought of as a scary person because you defeated the Four Violent Disasters... but as you can actually see, he is a mediocre man like this"

That's why I flaunted my shoulder.

But Captain Zeth still looks difficult.

"That, too, is..."

What is it?

I noticed Captain Zeth blushing his cheeks.

I'm looking at the flickering seats face-to-face.

Sitting are Mr. Currier and Mr. Mia.

Why don't you, but Captain Zeth shakes his head every time I say so.

It was like shaking it off even in a clutter.

"Duh, what's wrong?

"Well, from Master Shanatris... Lord Krohiko is a pornographer - no matter who is on the spot, he is always sticky with women, and he wants to see that this one is so colorful that he can be ashamed of himself..."

"Huh!?

Mr. Mia reacted freaking out.

My ears and tail stand pinned.

She then began to wave her neck and hands left and right as she warmed up.

They're denying that I'm not such a person.

Mr. Currier had a frightened smile, "Not again".

Shanatris has the same look.

I held my head in my arms.

"Another terrible fluent language... this is a trial thing... eh"

What the hell is that witch?

Are you the user of the Great Magic "Absence Trial"?

I'm forced to explain myself while I wish for a witch trial.

"Ha ha... Sha, Shana always says the right thing for the purpose of making fun of me... hey, it's troublesome..."

Captain Zeth smiles and scratches his head like he's in trouble.

"Oh, right? No, I think it's strange too... Lord Krohiko has a unique awesomeness, but I hope he doesn't look like a person who likes color disproportionately"

"Ze, Captain Zes..."

What a good man to know......

I'm a little impressed.

Unexpectedly, I was taking Captain Zeth's hand.

"I'm so glad you're the one who picked me up"

Captain Zeth, who will look good.

"Ha ha, I see. Lord Krohiko liked Shanatris, didn't he?

"... Yes?

"Master Shanatris is a very serious and strict person -"

"Is that about a twin sister or something?

Captain Zeth continued with a bitter smile.

"On the other hand, they treat people they like badly."

"That's... I just think it's better to get it if you don't like it, it's really surprising information..."

"For that matter, they often try to make it easier for people they like to lose money. Don't you have any idea?

…………

If you ask me, sure.

"I mean, is Mr. Shanna an amazing person after all that it's Louvel Argan?

Captain Zeth smiling furiously.

"To the extent that my king asks me to become a consultant, he is an excellent man. Most of the various surgical machines currently used in Schbelpos were created by Shanatris."

She also made medicines and stuff to adultize Mr. Makina's body.

On second thought, that's an amazing pill too.

As a researcher, I guess I'm still good.

"Hmm, nevertheless"

Serious and strict, huh?

…………

Isn't seriousness a hallucination mistake?

Yeah, but I also feel like I could have been more serious in the Battle of Beshgham...

Then I enjoyed my collusion with Captain Zeth for a while.

He also taught me a variety of things about Louvel Argan.

The captain is very personable.

I think my men admire me.

I felt I could tell that from the attitude of the escorts to the captain.

Moving around like that, I could see the city.

It's with a local city stopping by on the way.

He said it would still take a few days to get to the Wang capital.

"Huh? Are there skirmishes between lords nearby?

Such information was brought by one of the escorts after the carriage crept through the gates of the city.

Is it going to be okay?

But Captain Zeth answered as a taunt.

"If you find out the Prince's Kingsguard is staying, you won't be getting firepowder down to this city. Of course, in case anything happens, we'll take care of it."

Nothing happened during his stay, as he said.

And the next day passed safely.

Prince Gears' Kingsguard flag.

Carriage painted deep red.

Wherever I went, it was the eyes of awe that could be directed.

In the city I stopped by, I eavesdropped on civic conversations.

Feeling like I heard, the reputation of the king, the prince, and his Kingsguard seemed good.

In one way or another, it seems that it is the Divine Punishment Squad that is being feared.

Captain Zeth told me a little about the Divine Punishment Squad on the way to the next city.

"The Divine Punishment Corps is the direct unit of my King, but at the same time a very independent unit. It also has a variety of privileges compared to the Kingsguard. Because of that, some of the Kingsguards are smoking."

A Kingsguard just for men.

Divine Punishment Squad just for women.

Is there even something about that that doesn't fit the sore?

By the way, Mr. Currier and Mr. Mia were almost silent on the move.

This morning, when we were alone, I snuck out and said, "I'm on the move. I don't talk much, but anything bothering you?" I asked.

Mr Currier answered casually.

"I know people from the beginning... words come out easily when it comes to malicious opponents, and I can make a good decision about the attitude I take..."

You think people get more familiar when they're good people?

He said the Renault thread momentum, which deepened his intimacy, starting with Mr. Cecily, was fine.

But I don't like non-intimate hobbyists.

I mean, I don't like it - it feels like I'm gonna lose my temper, huh?

When I was on a wandering journey, maybe she felt like right now.

That and I also asked Mia why she had a low number of mouths on the move this morning.

Here's what she answered.

"I am a samurai. I can't let you two get in the way of a fun colloquium... and besides... Master Krohiko seems to have a lot of fun when you're talking to Master Zeth... '

…………

Oh, would you have made it look so fun...?

It took us three and a half days to finally reach our destination while we picked up an inn in a local city on the road.

"I see you, Lord Crohiko."

A giant city with rock-skinned mountains as its backdrop.

A black castle sits on the back of the mountain.

Looks like there's a castle town as you step back from the castle.

Seems the castle town is surrounded by high walls.

From my current position, I still can't confirm the full contents under the castle.

The city's first impression was of a giant fortress.

Those two towers would still be the part that stands out in particular as far as I can see from here.

Seems like a part of the castle.
