Chapter 497 - Central 1 (1/2)
”The Empire.”
Haru had arrived on the capital of the Empire and saw an enormous wall that surrounded the entire city. He didn't see the main character along the way and he also didn't see a member of Night Raid. He had thought about joining that organization, but he thought about his mission.
The mission from the Group Chat clearly told him to conquer the Empire and not to become a member of the Revolutionary Army.
Haru knew that the revolutionary army could conquer the Empire at the end of the story, but he knew that he wasn't the one who conquered the Empire. He really didn't have an idea how to solve this problem and thought to do it slowly. He wasn't sure whether he had entered the plot of the story or he hadn't even.
'The key is the main character.'
Haru stepped down from his horse since he would soon enter the centre. He had covered his face with a cloak since the temperature of this world was quite hot. He really needed to have a cold bath after this. His body had changed and he needed to drink more water every day. He followed the crowd before he entered the centre, but he heard a shout and it seemed that someone was arguing. He turned and was surprised to see two people. He smiled and thought to help them since it was a rare chance.

”Ha? Why can't we enter?”
”Like I said that you need to pay before you can enter the town,” the guard said with an annoyed expression.
”But I don't know about this!”
”This is why you're in the countryside! Just go back and bring some copper before you enter the town!” The guard said and ignored the boy.
”What did you say, you---”
”Ieyasu, stop!” The girl stopped her childhood friend who seemed to not have a brain.
”Sayo, but...”
”You know that this is the Capital, and we don't have anyone here,” the girl said with a sigh.
The boy calmed himself when he heard the girl's persuasion. He knew that he needed to gather money for his village, and to fight with the guard in this place was too stupid.
The guard snorted and was too lazy to talk with them.
”Bro here is money for them and also my money.”
Suddenly someone came toward the three of them. They saw a young man with grey hair walking with his horse to them.
”You need to wait before you can---” The guard stopped when he saw the amount of money. He nodded and said, ”Sure, the three of you can enter.” He smiled politely at Haru and let him enter the town without any problem.
”Thank you,” the girl said to the young man. Her face was a bit red when she saw him.
”No problem,” the young man said while smiling at them. This young man was Haru who had decided to talk with the childhood friend of the main character.
That's right.
The boy and the girl are the friends of the main character from the same village. The two of them had been killed by a noble when they entered this place, but Haru didn't expect to meet them here.
”Thank you, my name is Ieyasu,” Ieyasu said.
”My name is Sayo,” Sayo said.
”I'm Haru,” Haru said. ”Let's go inside since I'm also curious about this place.”
They were a bit surprised when they heard it.
”You're not from the capital, Haru?” Sayo asked.
