192 After Days: Yes, lets go to sea! (1) (1/2)
Lighting sun, cloudless blue sky, white sandy beach.
To the sight spreading in front of me I reached out and inhaled my breath loudly before shouting.
”The ocean. Uh-huh!
It is the sea that spreads before me. It's not just the ocean either. The landscape is set up so that people can enjoy it, while leaving their natural appearance.
In other words, it shows that this is a sandy, private beach set up to bring people together.
”If Princess Anisphere would be so happy to be here, it would have been worth asking her out.”
It is Falgana, who is visiting the Kingdom of Palletia as Goodwill Ambassador from the Aylene Empire, who has been speaking to me with a grin that is raising my mood.
Behind it are Uffi and Raini, Ilia, and Gakkun and Navr, and Priscilla in Charne. Everyone looks at the sea of beautiful landscapes with interest.
This is a private beach in the territory of the Aylene Empire. We were leaving the Kingdom of Palletia and stepping into the Aylene Empire.
Why are we in the Aylene Empire? I need to rewind my time just a little bit to talk about it. That was a suggestion from the Empire hung up.
”You want to invite us to the empire and have a goodwill party?
Magic City Anisphere, its city government. It was Falgana that came to my office.
Falgana is staying in Anisphere as a goodwill ambassador to the Aylene Empire. It's for a meeting to receive international students coming from the Empire in the future.
Students, both aristocrats and civilians, will be admitted to the school, which is to be opened in Anisphere, which has genuinely moved as a city. Some of them are going to be international students from the Empire.
Schools operating in the Anisphere also plan to accept technologists who want to learn magic and magic props techniques. I had daily meetings with Falgana to develop that system.
Falgana seems to be busy every day, as well as other contact points with the Empire. It was the content at the beginning that such Falgana had proposed.
”Oh, my brother must be. I've been invited to the Kingdom of Palettia, but my brother cares that we've never been invited.”
”I see. I think if we're going to keep our future relationship between the two countries close, we need an opportunity.”
”Oh. I've been seeing Her Majesty the Queen of Uphilia, and I plan to make that meeting when I go to the king's capital. Because I'm talking about my brother, I'm sure His Royal Highness Anisphere will say so. I thought I'd talk to you first.”
”I don't think it's a problem to go. And Yuffi wouldn't say no.”
There were times when the end of the collapse of the Kingdom of Cambus and the completion and operation of the Anisphere were also in a rush, but that was also when a paragraph followed. That's why we're visiting the Aylene Empire, because I don't think it's a problem.
”If you were to invite me to an empire on a boulder, it would be difficult to invite me to a big festival like Birthday. I don't know what to say, but I don't think the empire is as peaceful as this one...”
”Oh, it's... it's national.”
”Later my brother said he wanted a chance to discuss it slowly with His Royal Highness Anisphere... he seems to have developed an interest in magic since then, which is a little depressing...”
”Oh... enough to be?
Emperor Lukeheim is somewhat obsessed with me, isn't he? You just won't be forced to take me to the Empire.... maybe.
”So as my brother, I want to invite you to the villa the royal family will visit.”
”The villa?
”The empire is vast. I have a villa to stay in during the royal expedition. Among them is a villa maintained to invite guests. I wish I could welcome you there.”
”I see... what kind of villa is there, for example?
”Well... if you can be surprised at a villa close to the Kingdom of Palettia, it's the sea”
”Sea!?”
I have raised my voice of surprise against Falgana. As surprising as I am, Falgana turns to his face.
”Oh, it's a private beach that the Empire prides itself on. It's also a base for harvesting seafood resources.”
”... that the Empire is successfully exploring the sea?
There is a recognition that this world, the sea, is an area beyond the reach of man. Anyway, there are demons in the sea. Fighting demons in the sea is not the same as dealing with them on land. So much so that they call it suicidal to go offshore by boat.
It is a situation in which the Kingdom of Palletia has repeatedly regressed, albeit with sadness, the exploration of the seaside. And yet in the Empire, you say you've already succeeded in pioneering the ocean? If that's true, I think it's a boulder power.
”Even if you succeed in exploring, you're building a place that was inland and pulling in sea water there. There is no demon damage, but the part that draws sea water inland is fenced to prevent demon intrusion.”
”... it's the boulder Aylene Empire and the words of praise that make it happen.”
”I don't think the empire is because demons are as active as kingdoms. This one is stampede. It's sooner if you wake up on a decade-long basis. The kingdom that happens more than once a year is unusual.”
I don't think that's because the Kingdom of Palettia has spiritual resources in its luxury, but if the country is different, so are the circumstances.
And the sea. Nice, sea. Because this world couldn't possibly be dangerous and enter the sea because there are demons.
”What's that private beach... for example, you can swim?
”At sea...... swimming?
It was Priscilla who refrained as a samurai from showing her a frightened face about what she was saying to my remarks.
In the common sense of this world, it's impossible to go into the ocean and swim. So nothing is strange about what Priscilla said.
In contrast, it is Falgana who is grinning invincibly at my question. He smiles as if he enjoys getting his will or just saying.
”Now it is said that royalty and some aristocracy are on the road, but all are pioneering so that swimming in the sea is widespread among the people as well. Collect seafood resources and also use them as tourist resources to attract people. When people get together, they create vitality and jobs. It's a policy that I originally started for countries and ethnic groups that lived by the sea...”
”Nice! Seawater bath!”
