We Live in Dragon's Peak

It's been a big deal.

Just because I didn't keep my promise to Louiseine, it was the first time I went away in my life.

Luiseine apparently has business at the temple of Ambis, the deputy capital of the Kingdom of Arms.

The deputy capital, Ambis, is about three days east of Wang Du.

Then the vice capital is at the heart of the administration.

The Wang capital is surrounded by noise, especially since flying dragons rarely strike from the hunting grounds of northern flying dragons, so important institutions can be found in the vice capital.

Then I think the average person can't transfer me to the vice capital because of all kinds of clues. [M]

By the way, I hear the king is staying half the moon in the king's capital and the other half in the vice capital.

So today.

Early in the morning, three days after Louiseine pronounced me, I was at the East Triumph Gate at the rendezvous point.

When I tried to pick up Luiseine and go to the temple, she told me to meet you here.

I wonder why.

I've had a rough time for the last three days.

First of all, I told my mother that I was a classmate and that I would help the witch Luiseine to go to the vice capital.

Then I was so surprised that I would help the witch by immediately losing the sword I bought with my precious money in the Dragon Forest and instead holding the wooden knife that I had picked up without leaving my skin looking precious.

Still, he prepared a lot of things for the trip.

It's a three-day trip to the vice capital and a six-day round trip. I had a lot of things I needed and it was hard to sort them out.

Next, tell Old Sleighsta and Mistral that you can't come while you're in the vice capital.

Then, as usual, Old Sleighsta teases me, and Mistral turns a cold glance at me.

Priscia and Niemia moistened their eyes and hugged me, but that made Mistral unnecessarily in a bad mood.

I was desperate to convince Mistral. At the end of the day, he seemed convinced, but I'd have to buy some souvenirs and go home. Looks like it'll be tough later.

I wonder if that came a little too soon.

At the Arc de Triomphe, there was still no sign of Louiseine.

I looked up at the giant building in front of me. [M]

All the people who live in the capital of the kingdom of Arms call this building the Arc de Triomphe on its own, but it is first and foremost a remnant of the old outline.

Long ago, at the beginning of the founding of the country, to prevent enemies from outside, the perimeter of the Wang capital was surrounded by walls?

But the walls were demolished by the onslaught of the Fei Long, the weathering over the years, and the growing population of Wang Du. Only the gate was left, and that was preserved as a historic building.

So it looks old and undecorated, it's just a gate, isn't it?

Now the King's Capital continues on the eastern side of the Arc de Triomphe, but it was the meeting place for those who travel to the east.

Or it's not a land where you can travel north or south, and it's only dangerous to go because what a dragon peak the west is. That's why everyone traveling from Wang Du is headed east, right?

As I watched the ancient Arc de Triomphe, Luiseine arrived.

Long green hair dazzles the morning sun.

And the same witch outfit.

Witches and clerics wear special outfits. The jacket is a folding garment in front and wears a strange one with a plump hem spread underneath.

That's the kind of outfit he's been wearing for a long time, and he looked far removed from the clothes of our time.

So the clergyman can tell right away, even in the distance.

And Luiseine had a sword longer than her height, which was remarkable.

According to what I've heard, the weapon of a war witch is a sword.

I didn't bring it to you during site survey training or anything, but you didn't bring it to me because I was backward support as a witch then?

Faster than Louiseine noticed me, I found her and waved to welcome her.

"Good morning. Thank you for waiting."

"Good morning. I just got here, too."

Greet each other with a polite bow. Louiseine has always been polite, but I've also been polite.

Hehe, and Luiseine smiling.

"Well, shall we leave soon?"

Luiseine prompted us to leave quickly.

"Louiseine doesn't have much luggage."

My eyes go first to the sword Luiseine holds in his right hand, but also to the small amount of luggage.

You only have a fraction of me.

"That's what you say, Ernea. You've got a lot of baggage."

"That's right, it's a six-day round trip. I'm still a pretty good sharpener."

You have trouble without water and food. Minimum amount, but still the backpack was quite a size and weight.

In exchange, Luiseine's luggage consists of one small backpack and a wipe with a long string hanging from the neck to the front, as well as a sword.

I wonder why it's such a small amount.

As I roared with a question mark, Louiseine looked at me strangely and tilted her neck.

"Sure about six round-trip days, but would you have so much luggage"

"What are you talking about? We need food, we need to change."

When you hear my answer, Louiseine gives you a troubled look.

"Oh, well."

Mm-hmm. I wonder if I'm making a mistake.

Lewiseine tells me in an up-and-coming manner. [M]

"Yeah. Ooh. If you continue along the street, the lodging is just right for the vice capital, and if you take your meals there... your clothes are the same for three days each way, and if you change about the vice capital... but could you possibly be new to the journey, Ernea?"

……

Oh, my God.

I was stunned, my eyes widened, my mouth opened to the limit, and it hardened.

And I didn't know.

I thought the journey would be like walking through a wilderness path with mountains and valleys.

Seeing that my mother who prepared with me didn't say anything either, you made the same mistake my mother made.

But when you tell me, do you?

Wang and Vice Capitals are close. The streets that pinch those two points will be busy, and that way inns and cafeterias will be the norm.

Then you don't have to carry food, and you just have to put up with your clothes for a few days.

You're a family that's not wealthy and you've never even traveled, so nobody noticed such a preliminary thing.

I feel more tired before I leave.

Am I going on a journey carrying this waste of baggage for six days?

and cheeks.

"And in the meantime, get your mind back on it. Elnea, shall we think about your luggage on the road?"

Louiseine encourages me with care, but my legs were heavy.

I've exposed Louiseine to ugliness. Truth is, right now. But I was hoping to get out of here.

"Here, here. Some merchants may buy out unwanted items along the way."

"Ugh. Louiseine is convinced that my luggage is unnecessary."

"Oh, no, it's not. Elnea, I'm sure what you've prepared will help. Just see. Merchants crave all sorts of things at all times. Sell it for the merchant and…"

I was only slightly healed by Louiseine, who panicked uncommonly.

You can't bully a witch.

I get back on my mind and head east down the street.

Relax your chest down, Luiseine follows.

It's still early in the morning, but the streets were busy early with people going out.

Still in the king's capital. The streets were widely maintained, with various buildings connecting the houses.

It's an early store and it's already opened, and it's bringing in customers.

Everything was novel and fresh in my eyes. I wonder what the merchant's open-air sells. I wonder what stores open from this time. What is the merchant in the luggage truck carrying? I wonder what kind of adventure a keen adventurer will set out on.

I look right or left. [M] I noticed Louiseine smiling at me walking fluttered by my gaze.

is, embarrassing.

"Ernea, you look like you're having a lot of fun."

"Oh, I wonder"

I blush and blush.

I wonder if it's floating. Maybe so.

It's my first long journey, and I'm alone with my beautiful Louiseine.

Where was the heavy feeling just now? I had already enjoyed my journey.

"Good. Elnea, I was anxious to know what I would do if I didn't like you."

"I don't hate it at all. Besides, this service job? I didn't keep my word."

I have a question as to what kind of service it would be to accompany Luiseine to the vice capital, but this is my fault. I don't feel bad about traveling with Louiseine properly protected.

"It would be helpful if you could say that. But apart from this service task and promises. Tell me your secret."

"Ugh, yeah. I'll teach you. I guess I'll tell you when we're a little less crowded."

"Oh well. Can you finally tell me?"

Louiseine smiles happily.

Of course I'll tell you. This time, I'm getting permission from Old Sleighsta.

If Louiseine can trust me, I'll tell her what to tell you. [M]

Louiseine is a witch, and of course she's a man of enough credit, isn't she?

But what I told Luiseine passed it on to Keeli and Inea, and to Listea. If that's all, it's still good, but it's not a good idea to spread it from there to all sorts of people, so I just need you to promise me that you'll stop talking properly.

By the way, I've always wondered why it would be a service task for me to just accompany you on this trip to Louiseine.

Louiseine is a witch to see, isn't she?

And there's less danger to witches.

People are slippery, devout followers. I believe in any extreme evil man, so I don't get attacked by people.

There is a danger of demons, but Luiseine is a war witch. You're a priest used to fighting among witches, aren't you?

I didn't know if I needed to accompany such a safe and secure Louiseine. [M]

So I asked.

"Yeah, that's..."

Luiseine blushes and nags as soon as possible.

"Oh, can I come later? I'll talk to you soon."

With that said, Louiseine walked ahead of me.

I rush after him.

I wonder what. I wonder if there's any secrets to this journey. You're going to tell me later, so let's believe that.

I caught up with Louiseine and changed the subject.

I don't like the awkward atmosphere.

It's a long journey, and I'm not tired of having fun on the road.

Louiseine and I moved on as we blossomed into the conversation.

On short notice, fewer buildings were built along the streets, and the fields became more prominent.

On the east side of the Wang capital is a vast barn area. I think it's the truth that all the land that has no room for north-southwest and expansion could only be set up in the east.

However, this barn zone is very rich and exported not only to the kingdom of Armuard but also to its neighbour, the Kingdom of Yortenitos.

Do you think that meat, such as beef and lamb, is imported from the Kingdom of Yortenitos instead? A teacher said it in the classroom.

Villages and towns were dotted in the barn areas of the fertile plains, and there were many branches in the streets.

But we even walk east. [M]

Luiseine explained to me that the barn zone would continue as far as the vice capital.

Luiseine is a temple user, and she occasionally goes to the vice capital. It usually seems like a threesome with Keeli and Inea, but those two are currently acting with the brave Listeer, right?

What are you doing, let's ask Listeer when we get back.

Finally, as the building was neglected and walking sideways through the golden fields before the fall harvest, a resting place was visible ahead.

The streets seem to be dotted with many places where you can rest.

That's where the square was created around the shade of the trees, or properly maintained in a roofed building.

What you can see up front was a simple one, with a long chair under the tree where several people could sit.

And a pair of mothers and children sat in that bench, looking at this one.

Mother and child?

I guess it's my fault, I feel like I've seen something...
