109 Episode 106 Owada-Dillinden (1/2)

Then let's go to the business district. I mean, we can't just stand here and wait at the gate forever.

I had a date with you.

I thought, ”Let's go quickly, let's go now--

'Actually, Seya, a gate is a gate, but here in Dillinden, the gate is one of the most popular tourist attractions.　It's a historically valuable place because it still has some of the remains from when it was built. In that sense, I can say that I'm glad Sayre didn't destroy it yesterday.

I was in a bit of a hurry at the time. I was in a bit of a hurry at the time. But I see, this gate has been around that long........ Hmm, that's--

Suddenly, I saw a horizontal sign hanging above the castle gate.

There - it must be an old one - although it was quite faint, I saw a familiar character that I was familiar with.

'That's a kanji..., right?　A ”big”, ”circle”, ”field”, ”rice field”....　How is this 'Oowada no Tomari' from Japanese history...?　Oh, I know!　'Ohwada' to 'Dylinden' to 'Dylinden'!

Gutted, I popped my hand.

'What, Dillinden was based on the Chinese characters. I had always assumed it was a Western-style name. But as soon as I found out that it was a Chinese character, I suddenly felt a sense of familiarity with it.

Like a traveler who suddenly felt a connection with his home country in a foreign land, I was so happy and excited to see Chinese characters in another world that I couldn't help but be excited.

''........This is surprising. I heard that the writing here is a special ancient script that is said to have been used by the first frontier count who built this city. The reading is exactly what Sayre said it was. This is supposed to be information that is not available to the general public, but Seya can even read such things.

”...what?　Oh, that's, you know...

There's a theory that these characters are from another language or something.

Is that so...?　Heh, I didn't know that much..., I guess...?

Shit, I got a little carried away....

Hmm.....

Glancing.... (me casually glancing at you.)

We had no more words to say to each other, and an unnatural silence descended between us as we were surrounded by the bustle of activity.

That indescribable air was broken by

'I see. You're not only strong, you're also knowledgeable. I'm impressed. You're very good at that, Sayre.

It was a compliment from Nia.

'Really?　Yeah, thanks. I'm surprisingly knowledgeable, despite my appearance. Hahahaha....

Ok, I'm glad to be able to let this place go for now....
