Chapter 39 (1/2)

「So…… regarding e'll do from now on」

Beside the tho curled up in their coats, Ardis broke the silence

The dawn that started to shi+ne over the grasslands Overco Thoria, Ardis talked about their headings while preparing breakfast

「We should airessed southwest frohway, then they will arrive at the capital after about five days

「Then there's three choices after that Stay in the capital, or the Coalition of city-states, or the eathering of various sizes of towns Having form an alliance between themselves, it is non as the Coalition

Then there's the Elmenia Empire in the southeast The empire which lies on the southeast of Rovres Continent, they are hostile with Nagras Kingdom since the olden times, the history of the two country was filled ars Even now, the two country is still at throats with each other

「Will the north not be considered? 」

「Well, the country there……」

Going past the plains of Thoria in the north, there's a country called Bronshell Republic

It is a country where its president is deterh the country itself is very rich, the fact that the men are superior than women there is what made Ardis not consider it

「Nere will be troubled if ent to that republic That country doesn't acknowledge so like a female mercenary after all 」

In the first place, there're no work for feovernment positions are only opened to males by law, and there wasn't anyone that would hire a woiven tothe twins to such a country That's why it was excluded fro in the eo for the Coalition huh 」

El noble prioritization, so it couldn't be said as a country that's easy to live On the other hand, the Coalition is made of unique toith different cultures, it's worthy for the is the unity between their towns but, as a place to live, it isn't worse than the kingdom in any way

「Let's look at the capital first If there's an official detain warrant for us, then let's head west for the Coalition 」

After deciding their future plans, they rested fully well on the day, and startedto fly, then doing it in the ht will be better as they will be less visible, also they are also warding against any pursuers thatpresence of a pursuer ever appearing, Ardis's party progressed to the capital through the sky, and landed somewhere in the forest about two hours walk away frouess we have to secure a shelter first 」

Ardis said so

He didn't kno the detain incident will spread to the capital Of course, Ardis didn't think that the infor But just in case, if Thoria had planned it with the Kingdom in advance, it wouldn't be a smart idea to show hiht to conceal hiather information for the first days in advance would be best And in case of eency, Ardis or Nere should enter the royal city alone so that they can escape iht to set up a base here, and split the job up between hiather inforreed as she said, 「If erous beasts around here And procure soed, h it isn't as bad as the Corsas Forest, it's a place where humans doesn't live Of course there'll be carnivore beasts around There's no need for Nere to annihilate the the into the basehouse―? 」

The tho had enough sleep during the day, they h it's already very late in the night They stuck around Ardis, and asked interestingly

「It'sthat is Well, for the tih if it can be a shelter for avoiding rain and winds 」

Since there's still soic to illu di off the excess leaves and roots with the wind and piling the logs on the basethe soil

He didn't care to use dried logs or not, since it's just a te, he decided to save tis on the roof as well, Ardis used soil baked into a hard tile and laid it on the roof to prevent the rain leaking inside And drying the leaves that he cut froic, they were made into a bed replacement and put in the rooht, Tords that came near occasionally was easily defeated by Ardis after blowing them away

The twins continued to stick onto hiht that it was better than having the attacked by Tords, so he didn't mind it as he continued the work

After finishi+ng the temporary base in under two hours, Ardis carried the tired tere too active inside, and sat dohile floating the light source

(I should've put in h the ground was lined with dried leaves, Ardis frowned at the uncomfortable seat more than he expected Thus, he cut down a few ed them in the roo this, Nere had returned Preys that she had hunted for meals were put down from her hands

「Good work Hoas it? 」

「It wasn't anything tough There's really no need to pay any extra caution to the beasts And then, there was a pond nearby But the water there is too polluted to be used, but since there isn't any river around, there should be underground water nearby Ita well 」

「A well huh……, then let's leave that for tomorrow You can rest for the day 」

「I shall proceed with butchering these first Mythe preys to her chest height as she showed, Nere stepped outside

It's about tioes, and the sun rises

(When the sun rises,the surroundings Re the facilities here will be next huh)

While feeling the presence of Nere outside, Ardis curled up in his coat and slept

Fro on i environment of the small shack that is their base When the sun had reached overhead, after taking a late breakfast with theiht? 」

As a test, Ardis dug up randoly, the third one had water spurting up Not settling for that, he continued to dig a few up and chose to make the well above the water vein that's the cleanest and has the most water

After that, he cut down , and divided the into so it up on the periic with his abundant , it took atthe well and put up the fence around the perimeter, if it would been have done by manpower, then it's probably a work that'll needthat the scenery unfolding in front of their eyes was anything but nors which continued to be added on

「Ardis, what's next―? 」

「Ardis, h for now, the rest will be for later 」

「Eeeh―! 」

The tere unsatisfied pouted

Compared to when they had firstIn Thoria, they were afraid of people but, since there isn't anyone around, they probably finally had a chance to do so

If so, it ht even be better to live like this rather than in a city Of course, that is said after their safety is guaranteed
