Chapter 34: Travelers in Three Directions
What is the difference between
The things seen at one’s destination
And the people seen at one’s destination?
Point Allocation (Arriving or Going)
Someone on the surface viewed the three fleets in the sky
It was Masazun frame to view the for the large land port in Mito’s forest The sign fra the fleets arriving from three different directions
The ones bound for Date and Mogami had apparently already arrived at their respective fleets A defense barrier was placed around both the fleets and the newly arrived diplomatic shi+ps to demonstrate that they had been welcomed in
However, the shi+p bound for Sviet Rus had been a little delayed, so that fleet had to wait
“I guess we’re letting them knoe’ll be here until the diplomatic shi+ps reach them”
The armored transport shi+ps that had seen the diplo by overhead on their way back to the Ariake
Masazuirls had yet to return to the Ariake
Some shi+ps had left Mito for the Musashi+, but Masazu to the hidden Ariake until the diplomatic shi+ps had arrived They had only sent Futayo back ahead of them because she was injured
Futayo had been found unconscious and sitting in front of a shop
She had likely intended to take a short rest after getting up and starting back to the land port on her own She had been sitting on the bench in front of a sweets shop with her spear in her arms They had only learned where she was because Mitotsudaira had been informed by the locals
…Will she be okay?
Naomasa had said the Ariake was ready to receive her, but Masazuhters would attack here
If Hashi+ba entered the Mito territory – even to reject it – she would be interfering with the history recreation beyond her era, so she had sent the co her ould live to that era
“Even if Hashi+ba didn’t order that, they illing to act on their own to help her”
Masazu a little concerned, but Asama walked over with a set back to the Musashi+”
“Judge I know that …I shouldn’t be letting my concern show that plainly”
“Maa”
“Yes, yes”
Masazuainst Tsukinowa Asa Masazu
“I just received divine transaa-kun have arrived at Date’s fleet That just leaves Toori-kun’s group They were delayed a little, but they probably needed sootiations with the three nations have only just begun and we’ve already run into issues”
“I know,” agreed Asaasp of realization She tapped on the Date fleet on the north end of the sign franification increased When Hanae was processed and the God of war mothershi+p Kawai Castle became visible in the center of the distant Date fleet
Kawai Castle had deactivated its defense spells to let the diplomatic shi+p in, so its deck was visible The specks seen there were probably Urquiaga and Suzu There were also so autoreet them
“Is that Date Narumi?”
“Eh? Is that a surprise?”
“Yes Kawai Castle belongs to Oniniwa Tsuna what I think she is?”
The i in the wind
Naru tio out in the wind dressed like this?
Her regret caht material with no armor It probably would have been fine on the surface or indoors, but on an aerial shi+p’s deck, the hipped the clothing around even with air buffering
It was the same wind she always felt, so as she so bothered by it? Her hair whipping around had never been an issue, but the westerly wind fro her dress’s skirt
“…Ah”
If she did not hold it down, it would lift up and reveal her legs, the base of her legs, and her butt She nor Centipede, but it felt careless to leave the areas hidden by the skirt so defenseless
…Kh
She found a way of holding her hands that held down about eighty percent of the skirt She placed her right hand down to hold the skirt against the front of her right thigh She gave up on the left of the skirt and faced forward
“Musashi+ 2nd Special Duty Officer Kiyonari Urquiaga, are you the ambassador?”
“No, the a Captain I a her”
He looked to the hand on her skirt
“But what are you doing there?”
“I-I a about?”
“I see”
As the half-dragon nodded, As and skirt down against the wind
“The wind…is strong”
“Judge The Musashi+’s atmospheric defenses are set to residential standards, so the ill naturally be stronger on a warshi+p But…”
He looked to Naruht hand on her skirt
“Mukai, you could learn a thing or two from the Date clan …This level of wind is apparently not worthfor the him to the deck, but then she heard the Chancellor’s Officers supportbehind her
“Hey,et to see her squir around like that”
“I feel bad for her yet I can’t deny I’ it Is this what you call irl on approached her while opening a sign frame to display a few pieces of official paperwork
“Now, let us begin our diplomatic visit with a handshake”
Narumi realized what he was after when she saw his outstretched right ar, but this was a scene of diplomacy She ht hand She squeezed as hard as she could with her false hand, but he accepted it with the strength of a half-dragon Then the wind blew in froht
Without the hand to hold it down, her skirt blew violently upwards and the half-dragon io of her hand
“Sorry You should have shaken hands with Mukai, not ot a little carried away there”
…Why you-…!!
Her smile stiffened as she silently protested, but she still shook hands with the actual ambassador The ambassador was able to use her left hand to hold down her skirt as the as co position on the battlefield, Narue
“Well, you are the Vice Chancellor, so I can guess you do not often wear clothes like that They suit you well and they were an appropriate choice for a diplo This was merely an unfortunate location”
“…Eh?”
That ht choice this tiht
But…
“Choose for yourself next tiht But how? she also thought with a slight disturbance in her heart
“Um”
The ambassador raised the hand still held in Naruo, so Naruized and took the girl’s hand again, the aa-kun…i-isn’t a b-bad person”
“…Eh?”
“He does like…elder sisters…though”
“That’s right,” said Naruon
…Why did he even coirl And according to the Testaer brother In other words, Masaain, so she decided to ask
“Musashi+ 2nd Special Duty Officer, I would like to knohy you ca oal is to…yes, coaon said that like it should be obvious, the Mogami fleet to their west lowered its defense spell They had welcomed in their diploa and Suzu began their diplo place inside the diploami clan
“Yoshi+yasu-san! Are you sure you don’t need to head out for the diplo!?”
“Yes At this point, it will only be a greeting Plus, it’s the vassal’s job to deal with Mogami’s summarized demands”
Yoshi+yasu answered thea Far Eastern su a wrench on her shoulder
She was not in her roohteousness’s hangar
On the Musashi+, the engine division chief and the others would make sure the God of as held in place properly and that the surrounding equip, but they had a lot less personnel here The Mogareet her, so she was spending her time on maintenance like usual But…
“Yoshi+yasu-san, what kind of land is Mogaather the maintenance workers’ attention She used her wrench as a cane, and faced the north wall that hid the Mogale-handedly ami Yoshi+aki, their Chancellor and Student Council President They have no Vice President or Vice Chancellor and a Mouse na on the role of both Secretary and Treasurer That ht make it sound like a small-scale academy, but it isn’t They rule the entire western half of Oushuu That h productivity thanks to the large-scale land cultivation, marine products, and forest resources”
