Chapter 36.1 : Capital of North

◆Sword Maiden, Shirone

Velos kingdom is the biggest human race kingdom that’s located closest to Nargol. Sandwiched between the Akeron mountain range and the thriving blue forest, this kingdom was located at the estuary of a river that flowed down to the central plains.

The kingdom’s population is around 150,000 people. Due to the kingdom being located in the demon infested area, there are no other cities outside the rampart. Though the other kingdoms around were poor, Velos kingdom was different from them. Velos kingdom was the biggest source of harvested fruit that resembled apple around this area.

Due to its sweet flavor, there are various requests from other kingdoms to make use of this fruit as a flavor or as an ingredient for liquor.

The fruit of this Velos is exported all the way upto Holy Republic Lenaria, far south from this place.

Currently, Kyouka-san, Kaya-san, and I are inside the royal palace of Velos kingdom. By the way, we entrusted our hippogriff to the horse barn of this kingdom.

Though I pity the other horses, it really can’t be helped since there’s no other option.

「If it’s not Shirone-sama, welcome to this Velos kingdom!」

A man in his fifties, the king of this kingdom, Eclas. This is the second time I am meeting him.

Eclas is a nice chubby uncle; he talked to us, people who are even younger than his daughter, politely without even showing any unpleasant expression while doing so.

His appearance resembles that Echigos guy. But, their inner personalities are polar opposite of each other.

「Shirone-sama. And over there is the little sister of hero-kun, I presume? 」

Eclas is looking at the one who is sitting on my right in a self-conceited manner, Kyouka-san.

By the right etiquette, instead of sitting, she should be standing since the king of this kingdom is welcoming us while standing. Reiji-kun aside, I do think that she’s being rude toward the king.

But Kaya-san isn’t even reminding Kyouka-san. Rather, it seems that she took it as natural.

「It’s as you say, King Velos. That person is the little sister of hero Reiji-sama, princess Kyouka. She wants to stay in this kingdom for a while. Please set up the arrangements for us」

Kaya-san is saying so in a self-conceited manner.
