169 Episode 39: Arrival in Berca (1/2)

The wind is roaring in my ear.

The scenery under my eyes is replaced one after the other like a paper play.

The red mountain of Mount Skim, which can be swept through the sky. Mirrored Lake Toya waters spreading in front of it. A cleaved cliff of attendance reminiscent of a giant sword.

All of those sights viewed from the sky are worth a look. On the way to Berca on the Klau Solas, I was thinking about that.

Suzume and Lunamaria on board seem to agree, with many exclamations coming from their mouths. Sometimes there are screams crossed by an exclamation, but this was due to Klau Solas changing his manoeuvres to avoid clouds.

The two unfamiliar with the high-speed manoeuvres of the Wingbeast (Wyburn) cuddle up to me every time the saddle (Kura) rocks heavily. By the way, right now we are spanning the saddle in the order of Suzume, me and Lunamaria, and Suzume is pointing backwards, not forwards, to stabilize his posture. I mean, he was facing me from the front.

When both sides hold strong in this state, the density increases and a rather troubling structure can be created.

- Just in case, I didn't bother to let Klau Solas take rough manoeuvres, yes.

Together, it won't take three days if you get on Klau Solas, either by carriage or on a long journey to Berca, which requires half a moon. At this rate, we will be able to reach Berca by noon tomorrow.

To add, Krau Solas alone can also reach Belka in a day. The ability to fly the Blue (Indigo) Winged Beast (Wyburn) that I got serious about has reached that level.

But doing so will also greatly increase the burden on the rider. There's nothing wrong with me if I'm alone, but it's cruel to ask Suzume and Renamaria for just as much strength as I do. We've both had a lot of experience on Klau Solas, but this is the first time we've had a long high-speed flight like this, so we really needed to pinch a break. For that matter, the time to reach Berca will be extended.

- Well, if you look at two people full of energy and motivation, you can wonder if you really need to pinch the break.

Slightly, I put Klau Solas down on the ground for a second break, but the two of them are moving around worthwhile preparing lunches and feeding Klau Solas without even showing tired bareback. It should be noted that the contents of the lunch box were made by Priest Saila and Suzume together before departure.

Ok, I joked that I would buy it in words, ”Then let me know what you think as a price,” he gave it back as a prank, and I was in serious trouble. It should be noted that Renamaria, who was nearby, added with a tickling laugh, ”I make one too, so I'm glad you guessed who made which one,” which was more troublesome.

After years of picking herbs on black bread and garlic, I can't tell the difference between the flavors.

But giving up here undermines my majesty as an ally of the clan. Perhaps Lunamarian cuisine doesn't use meat, and Suzume cuisine is dominated by mushrooms. I just have to mobilize all my knowledge around here and manage to get to the right answer. I was so determined - the result was miserable.

At a time when we were both making meat dishes considering my preferences, I couldn't even hope for a correct answer. It's a happy, sad, complicated mood.

While we have that conversation on the road, we continue to make our way to Berca. Fortunately, there was no trouble like this, and on the second day of leaving Ishka, our vision showed a sandstone wall protecting Belka.

With Belka in sight, I grated Klau Solas into an invisible mountain and walked to the castle gate. This is the same way as when Ilia and I came together.

Speaking of fruit, at first I was also thinking about riding the castle gate directly at Klau Solas. If the Dragon Knight came without touching it before, its presence would instantly spread throughout Berca. If that turns out to be a rumored dragon kill, I'm a one-jump person. That must make it easier to gather manpower and information.

It's just weird and conspicuous, ”I'm going to defeat Dragon Slayer and give him a name! It is also a troublesome story to be made fun of by people like Considering the winds in this city that I've seen and heard before, there seems to be a lot of people (from time to time) in that hand.

So I decided to avoid the flashy appearance for the first time and give priority to rendezvous with Ilia. Hear the current situation in Berca from Ilia's mouth and then publish the facts of the dragon killing, if necessary.

Fortunately, my nostalgia (two places) contains references to Pope Noah. It was addressed to Cardinal Cyrala, the head of the land, and if you show me this, the Temple of the Law will help me. Even in that sense, I didn't have to rush to sell my name.

While I was thinking about that, I arrived at the castle gate.

As I said before, there is no human state west of Berca, and we do not need to worry about spies and spying in other countries. For this reason, the security of the castle gate was extremely loose and almost barely bare when he arrived.

So, you'll be fine this time too - a lofty (or even) voice sounds like you're laughing at my optimism like that.

”Those there, stop!

Exactly on the verge of trying to knock through the castle gate, three men appeared with the voice of who (what) and whispered their hands to go. If you look behind you, this one is blocked by the same number of men.

Six for both. They are all armed and still scattered with intimidating air.

You feared the entanglement, and the people around you go away like scattering spider children. The men don't even have eyes on you, so the purpose would definitely be us.

Unexpectedly, I lose my temper. He said he came all the way on foot like this never happened, so why are they teasing me early to arrive, I...

Suzume wears a proper hat, so I'm not looking for a ghost horn (one). Well, what can I do for you? I don't care what you think, though, because of the killer look over there.

”What can I do for you?
