「Harbor Town Plymouth」Part 1
I spent last night sleeping inan to restlessly move about on my face
The rocking of the shi+p must have moved Ponta up to
While still half asleep I picked Ponta up by the scruff of her neck to stop her fro me
Though it was a rather abrupt awakening, I sat up and took a look around as I started to stretch out my stiff limbs
“Kyun!”
“Did so wake you up, Ponta?”
Ponta climbed up my shoulder when I called out to her
The light that leaked in from the round shi+pdimly illuminated the small cabin
There wasn’t anyone’s shadow inside this cabin but mine and Ponta’s…… not that there was much room left in the cabin after my armored-self settled inside the room
After corrected the position of h the cabin door
Since the shi+p was occasionally racked by large waves, I used a line of wall handles toand daas just beginning to brighten the sky
When I shi+fted ht of the shi+p I saw a still black landmass off in the distance
It was still too dark tofrom here, but the landmass rose up into a steep cliff without any safe place for a shi+p to dock
“Oh, have we reached the Southern Continent already……”
As I gazed upon the darkened landmass, one of the People of the Plains and Mountains heard ht tone
“Rather strange to wear armor up on deck So, is this your first visit to the Fabuna’ha Kingdom?”
Theand resting his elbow on the shi+p’s railing he looked up at me
I nodded at his question and looked down at the
“I’m a little interested in thecountry built by the People of the Plains and Mountains…… In fact, the purpose of this trip is to research tomatoes and other spices”
When I said that the cat-eared man looked up at me in confusion
“The People…… of the Plains and Mountains? You dom found by the beastmen?”
It was ive him a confused look
“…? Isn’t that a derogatory term to call your people, or is it different on the Southern Continent?”
From what Chioave to people with animal ears and tails, so they referred to themselves as the ” the People of the Plains and Mountains”
When I explained it to the cat-earedcrossed his mind
“Oh, I guess that’s what o, Fabuna’ha’s first king united the separate tribes into a single community of beastmen and built the country from there”
The was a hint of pride in thebehind the name
If that were case…… it meant that common sense of this continent was different from its Northern counterpart
“There aren’t a lot humans can do on the Southern Continent”
“Oh, I see Are there no humans on the Southern Continent at all?”
The htly wryly smile on his face as he answered my question
“There’s a human settleme
nt across the two h to launch an attack a defensive line was set up along Fabuna’ha’s boarder ……”
There wasn’t much hostility on the man’s face as he talked about humans
In fact, the way he spoke of theht be individual differences in opinions about humans
When I questioned him a bit more about them, he chuckled and shook his head
“The humans built a wall around their lands and don’t venture out of them much Besides, there’s no way that Fabuna’ha’s beastmen soldiers would fall behind human soldiers!”
Contrary to the situation on the Northern Continent, the beastmen seem to be the conquerors of the Southern Continent
It es to relocate to the Southern Continent, but it wasn’t my place to determine their actions
Also, the objective of Chiome’s “Blade Heart Clan” was to free their enslaved people froers here would only be a half-measure
Centuries of aniht
For now, Chiome would have to look at the country her people built and tell those of her village what she saw
Chioht crossed my mind
“Arc-dono You’re already here? Actually, there’s so I wanted to discuss with you……”
When I looked back, I saw Chio up at me, dressed in her usual black attire Her face was as emotionless as always, but the tail attached to her lower back was restlesslyabout
“Oh, goodChiome-dono What do you want from me?”
Theto parted ith us as Chiome came closer
When I asked what business she had withup at ain
“The portion of dried kraken Arc-done received, could I purchase some of it off from you?”
“Kyun? Kyun, Kyun!”
I looked down at Chiome when she spoke her unexpected request
When I looked into her earnest blue eyes her cheeks becaht shade of vermillion and her irl of her age
Before I could agree to Chiome’s request Ponta slid down fro
Their behavior reminded me of what had happened when the dried kraken had been cooked up for dinner
I offered some to Ariane but she feverishly shook her head no and stepped back
Chioan to devour the cooked kraken with great relish
I also enjoyed the cooked kraken but I couldn’t help wanting so with it
But the two of them (?) seemed to have fallen in love with the taste of kraken
“Money isn’t necessary, though you seem to really enjoy it Chiome-dono”
When I said that Chiome broke eye-contact and scratched her cheek
“Y-Yes It is not often that I get to eat such delicious food…… Because I thinksome back as a souvenir”
“Oh, you have an older brother Chiome-dono?”
