Oo-klan kingdom, Capital 『Klanklan』
At the capital of the Klan-continent’s biggest country, the Oo-klan kingdom, there existed a royal castle.
The royal castle, located in the middle of the city, had a beautiful white outer wall known as the 『White shrine of peacefulness』. The royal palace had strong fortifications due to several defensive magic skills such as [Resist spells] and [Anti-skills], and for the sake of preserving it’s beautiful appearance it was permanently applied with the magic [Purification]. Even though a thousand years had already pa.s.sed since the castle had been built, the beauty from the olden days hadn’t disappeared. In this day and age, it made one wonder about the capability of magicians of old.
The royal castle was situated right in the centre of the city, and was surrounded by the n.o.ble factions. They, in turn, were surrounded by the commoner faction.
All around the city, the ramparts were lifted shut, with the exception of the four directional gates.
The city was divided into 4 divisions; the commercial district at the northeast, the developmental district at the southwest, industrial district at the southeast, and residential district at the northwest.
The commercial district was just like its name; it was a district that specialized in trade business. It was also the same for the industrial district and residential district.
The development district was the birthplace of various human occupations. In fact, the entire district was filled with what looked like vocational schools.
This was the kind of metropolis that the capital of the『Klanklan』kingdom was.
At the west gate of the city, there was the lonely shadow of a single woman.

[Fuu~ , finally arrived]
Carla muttered in front of the majestic gates.
It took a total of 3 hours before she reached this place.
The sun which previously hung over her head had now s.h.i.+fted towards the west and would no doubt set in a few more hours.
-(First Person POV)-
For now, let's try to enter .... hmmm ?
[Stop ! You over there, Wait for a moment ! ]
Perhaps they thought I was a suspicious person due to the fact that I was standing there looking dumbstruck.
Even while slighlty surprised because sudenlly got called by someone, I turned my head and looked at the person who had called me.
Over there, there’s a knight wearing silver armour on his body.
[If you wish to enter the imperial capital, you need to have a pa.s.s. Do you have a pa.s.s?]
The knight towered over me (his face is handsome ..... tch ---- ) and asked me politely.
Pa.s.s? I have no such a thing, you know ? -------- Dear Uns.h.i.+n , what happened with [opportunism]?
However, since I couldn’t keep silent like this either…...
[I just came out from my village, so I don’t have any pa.s.s ....... ]
For now, I'm pretending to be someone who just came from from the countryside.
[What? So you didn't have it. In that case, I would ask if my lady would accompany me to the station to issue you a pa.s.s?]
The man said, before turning towards a building situated at the side of the gate.
I guess this can also be counted as [opportunism]?
Even as that thought went through my head, a separate thought surfaced, namely that disobeying him wouldn’t bring any good situations, so I followed him quietly.
The inside of the station seemed to resemble most normal houses. There was a table for four, chairs, a fireplace for when it got cold, and a place to sleep. I sat down in the chair and began my interview with the knight.
[I'll ask you a few questions, so please answer them.... Ah , my name is d.i.c.k, the manager of the west gate.]
The knight in front of me..... 『d.i.c.k』said so.
(TL : is this really a name? correct me if I'm wrong :3 ) (ED: Obviously our tl hasn’t heard of the great comedian d.i.c.k Lee. d.i.c.k-ly?)
-(d.i.c.k’s POV )-
