Chapter 81 – To Finkle’s Parent’s House, GO!

We arrived at the capital city of Maeas. We moved into the city like an ordinary commoner.

The capital city of Maeas, as expected of the most prosperous economic power, the business crowd here is the best I have seen up to now.

A variety of products are lined up and even slaves are sold in shack-like stalls.

In this case, it will be inconspicuous to move.

When I looked around the miscellaneous cityscape, I noticed that there were unusually a lot of eyes paying attention to us.

Although I’m wearing dragon leather and scales armor, everyone should have never recognized dragon materials.

However, the number of gaze gathering at us is not ordinary.

When I tilted my head thinking about what’s happening, Finkle has quietly approached.

「…Your Majesty, he stands out too much.」

Finkle said so as he turned his gaze back.

Turning around, there was a silver armor knight standing there.

It is Dan who has his body strengthened with mithril equipments.

Who brought this guy?

「.. Well, it can’t be helped. I intended to come in contact with a Maeas representative secretly but I guess we should storm in magnificently.」

When I said so reluctantly, Finkle looked at me with a sulky expression.

「Please don’t storm in.」

He is a man who can’t take a joke.

We reluctantly walked in the middle of the capital city of Maeas like tourists.

The view is good.

It is a colorful cityscape that used many primary colors.

The buildings also have an elaborate design.

There is a large river dividing the city. There are several stone bridges with an interesting design.

Following Finkle ‘s directions, we walked to the outskirts of the city.

「Is there a castle at the very end?」

「It’s not a castle. Maeas eastern border touches the Immenstadt  Empire. The northern part of the is is Maeas’ and the southern part is the empire’s territory. Important bases are located in the northeastern region because that part tends to be attacked by another country. Well, if it’s really attacked it wouldn’t make any difference.」

「Hmm… Speaking of which, are you facing the sea? We are living in the depth of a forest. Though we are okay with it, we don’t have any fisherman of the sea. 」

When I said that, Finkle nodded.

「The northeastern part is a coast. The southern part of Rembrandt Kingdom also faces the sea, but it is rather narrow. Immenstadt  Empire faces the most sea but on the other hand, Galland empire doesn’t face a sea at all.」

「Hmm… Have you tried exploring the open sea?」

「There are some that have gone out to the open sea but none of them returned… What is on the other side of the sea?」

「Well… There is probably another continent and going around will get you to the forest of abyss across the Galland Empire.」

「Wa?」Read only at SHMTranslations.com

What I said should have been a very general comment, but Finkle tilted his head and looked at me.

Indeed, must I talk about the Ptolemaic theory and the Copernican theory?

TN: You probably already know about those theories so I won’t explain them. Besides, I might offend some flat-earthers out there

No, explaining it to Finkle won’t get me anything.

And I don’t know how to prove it.

When I was having trouble thinking about it, Finkle suddenly raised his voice.

「Ah, it’s over there.」

Looking at the direction Finkle pointed to was a large mansion.

「Hnn? That?」

When he hears me, Finkle nods silently.

No, that’s a museum.

How many rooms are there?

「…

You were really a prince. Or are you the son of an OS maker?」

「What are you talking about? I don’t know the meaning of that at all…」

Finkle didn’t know the meaning of the words I said. He looks at me with eyes like looking a weird one.
