Chapter 80 – The new emperor arrived on the island

Welcome to the Heavenly Country.」

When I greet him like that, the new emperor of the Blau Empire, Schwartz, who just came down from the carriage, speaks.

「…… Are you, Taiki-dono?」

I smile wryly while becoming puzzled at his response like he couldn’t hide his confusion.

「So far, I’m calling myself with the name Taiki.」

When I answered that, Schwartz shook his head from side to side with a slightly panicked look.

「Aah, no, I’m sorry. I was imagining an old man who seemed to have surely live for hundreds of years, but…… No way, your appearance as I have heard is really……」

Schwartz muttered that and straightened up his back once again.

「I am the current emperor of the Blau Empire, Schwarz Blau. I feel grateful for your assistance during the previous revolution. For a while now, I have been making efforts in laying the foundations of the empire, but once it will be settled, allow me to once again hold a grand event for you as an ally. I would like Taiki-dono to participate on that occasion by all means……」

And, Schwartz begins his greetings with a low attitude unbecoming of the top position of a large country.

However, it may be something inevitable. After all, the Blau Empire is just after their revolution. They are probably occupied on their internal situations and must be wanting to reduce the hostile countries.

I’m told that originally, it seems impossible for the new emperor to go to other countries so soon, but this time he was able to come for a greeting and observation trip for a very short time of two days and one night.

I was thinking that if he was so busy, he could postpone it some more, but Schwartz seems to be quite concerned about this.

And while giving a sidelong glance at me who thinks about various things, Schwartz slowly looked around the surroundings and spoke.

「…… However, even though I finally set foot on the Heavenly Country, I don’t feel a sense of reality at all. Certainly, the clouds are lower than my line of sight and the sky is so much closer than I have ever seen. But at my feet is a beautiful cobblestone and a grassy road…… It’s a beautiful, but mysterious place.」

When Schwartz said such impressions, Ditzen nodded greatly and spreads his hands.

「Exactly, it’s a utopia at the top of the sky! Taiki-sama! Ditzen has finally came back! Please teach me about the abyss of magic again……!」

I wonder if I have ever talked about the abyss of magic?

Although I thought that deep inside, I returned a wry smile at Ditzen and raised a hand.

「Taiki-sama, Ayla-sama. We’re back.」

When Torraine said that, Mea, Rant, and Schnee, who stands next to her, makes a deep bow.

「Thank you for your hard work.」

When I return a compliment Torraine and the others look at each other with a smile.

「It’s been a long time, Taiki-sama, Ayla-sama. How have you been?」

Then Yuri greets us. I and Ayla nod and I give a reply.

「Thank you for your hard work as well, Yuri-san. Your cooperation has been really helpful.」
