Chapter 104

c104: Royal Capital Sui

Today again ere blessed with good weather for today, there’s ideal weather for travel

Ignore the difficult stuff for now ignore it, today what I’ll be doing is enjoying myself

The current ain

「Deshi+, what’s that～?」

「That’s a flower called a daisy」

Probably

I try stealthily asking Saira

She just angles her head and no particular reply comes

I don’t knohether it’s right or wrong

Daisy

If this were inal world, it’d be a popular white wildflower that could be seen anywhere

Glancing at Rin-chan acting see by the roadside, Kyuu is sniffing and s it

「That is that is～?」

I nodded toward Rin-chan as she pointed at that nearby yelloildflower

「That is the king of wildflowers, the dandy lionIt’ll bite if your hand gets near」

「Fue!?」

「Kyu!?」

1 person and 1 animal frantically distance themselves

Cuuute

「Peaceful issn’t it」

Makina stretches her arms and yawns

The route leading from the waterfall’s cave to the royal capital is, truly peace itself

That itself is how our journey east originally should have been issn’t it

After stroking the heads of Rin-chan as she hid at my feet and Kyuu, I pilfer a dandelion

It’s already finished bloo so, the flower is covered in fuzz

Blowing on it lightly, the fluff rode the wind as such and rose all the way into the sky

「Wa～! A!」

「In that manner, flower-san’s seeds fly into the distance you see」

「And then and then!? What becomes of them?」

「The seasons rotate again and, those seeds bloom into neer-sans」

「That bite!?」

「Fufu, they go! Gaoー!」

「Kyahaa」

「Kyui!」

Those 2 who see enjoyably are chased around

「Co nyaa」

「It isーissn’t it」

With that feeling we fully enjoyed our journey along the way

Those who are truly strong, relax when it’s ti

……I think that Till is too slovenly though

While Rin-chan is getting a ride from Makina while she’s tired out between breaks, we arrived smoothly at the royal capital that’s also our objective to an extent at noon

With our arrival by walking, there’s a checkpoint established on the es and the like also traverse

There’s an observation platform built at that checkpoint’s cabin’s side, further on here and there from that observation platform

I suppose that there are probably lookouts stationed so as to surround the town

There seedoton principality as a natural stronghold or such that makes use of ays

――And so

「……The eye can reach it even fro it from up close it’s quite impressive in another way」

the mountains spire up, such that they connect to the royal capital’s back side

It see those mountains doessn’t it

Because of the reat mountains coated in snow, my sense of reverence can’t be denied

Nature, incredible

「We’ll rest leisurely at an inn today and, let’s climb promptly tomorrow」

So her isn’t it, Makina

U～n, the mountain is it

If we rush would the probability of o doith just that?

「Oh?」

Clearing the checkpoint by paying its toll, after that there’s a recognizable face waiting for us

It’s kurozukume’s oniisan, Jin-san

「Hang out with me, a little」

I don’t want to

◇■◇■◇

Ashi+taka kingdoi

The structures that catch the eye are truly traditional

Stone roofs on structures built of wood, the house doors are used as pulled doors

I found a shop with a dango curtain hung at the entrance

Rin-chan is constantly staring with seeecoach

We gave Jin-san a ride on our stagecoach and, after that ere brought to the castle withouta detour

「Will you not come to attack anymore?」

「I’ll attack if it’s on top of a bed」

While being cautious I gave a question to Jin-san as he sat across fro up one side of his mouth

「……In front of a child」

Isn’t that frankness unexpected for that morose kurozukume’s ani

I can’t say which is better though

「If you intend to do soain you know」

Makina’s breath becae

However Makina, if he intended to do so him you know

But how to say this, ever since I became like this, I’ve kind of looked at male people’s trained up muscles and it’s certain that they catch my interest with an incredible isn’t it or enviable isn’t it though

Have I becoe?

「So, I wonder just ere invited to the castle then?」

「It’s the king’s order, you’ll understand if you go」

King?

「Will we ?」

「Aah」

The king is it

To be sure, I was told that the rebellion was for equality right

Or rather if ihtly it’s bothersome isn’t it

「……On that note, I heard that it still hasn’t been long since the rebellion ended but」

「AahHowever regardless of whether it hasn’t been long, it’s certain that it did end」

「Is it still busy in a variety of ways?」

「I suppose so」

Like it’s someone else’s business, you

「Are your circumstances okay?」

「I’ the orders from above」

「Are you affiliated with an organization?」

「I can’t take it easy, that’s how it is」

「Is it possibly, the royal guard?」

「It’s not soreat」

When I give a question an answer unexpectedly couess

Everything’s obfuscated though

「Solt-san’s well you know」

「Oni-chan, well! Loves that which is deshi+!」

「Hou?」

It’s not Hou okay, don’t be convinced

「Nn? Rin-chan, do you not know about who this person is?」

On that note

「Don’t knowー」

Are they not siblings?

Is it a delicate problem?

Let’s stop forcing our way in for now

Furthere is a little ways off when compared to kurozukume

If Rin-chan was separated before she caht also be, possible?

――That Rin-chan, was suddenly grabbed by her neck like a cat and lifted up

「Eh?」

I was so taken aback that, the moment where I couldn’t move was vital

The culprit is Jin-san――that isn’t the case

「――What are you doing?」

Even Jin-san is, asking that with a surprised appearance

「……Makina?」

The one lifting Rin-chan fro next to me

「――Troubling」

A dark threatening voice ca

「Because, on guard, being trapped, was, bothersome」

「What are you saying……?」

With her sudden change of atmosphere Makina’s obsidian eyes are, split vertically like a reptile’s

Those eyes are, almost……a snake’s!!

「Chii!!」

Jin-san moved

The katana he pulled free from his hips――too short, is it a kodachi then?

He cut toward Makina with that

Perhaps because of the difference in experience, his judgment was fast

I――with an instant judgnetism

「Are you an idiot!!」

Losing the chance to take Makina down, I was struck with that anger

「Ku ku! Elf, well done, as a reward, I will, let you go」

What is this presence……This is……

「Makina? Makina!! Please come to your senses!!」

I really can’t think that she’s in her right mind

「Makina……?」

Rin-chan is also looking up, with see anxiety

……You’re not the sort of child ould do such a thing!

「――Please, release Rin-chan nya!!」

Fro faced with caution――Saira who had sat the furthest in, leaped at Makina

「――Hindrance, die!」

Along with those words, an ice crystal manifested――!

Without a chant!

Blizzard!

「Aah!? UUu!」

The Blizzard stabbed into Saira’s shoulder, as she leaped in

――We couldn’t keep up with the situation, is this my fault!!
