Chapter 75 Part1 (1/2)

RAW:

Just because the title has the word (Part 1) doesn’t mean that I divided this chapter into parts, this is the full chapter Chapter76 is titled “Arrival to the Kingdom (Part 2)”

This chapter is very long, about twice the amount I usually translate

Please enjoy the chapter…

PLEASE TURN OFF READER VIEW

I’M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHATEVER YOU READ

Midgardztan is an elongated peninsular continent that became narrower at the northern end

As for the shape of the continent as a whole, it was a combination of Italia peninsula and Boso Peninsula in the previous life Only the scales were different The size of the continent is estimated because there is no accurate inforhtly smaller than North America

It looked long and curved like a serpent dragon’s tongue, but people usually call it 『Fur Boots』 Besides toes and heels, there see a fur

The Santadom owned the territory from the heel of the shoe to the ankle and some part of the arch

The northern part of Sonorat kingdom was in the state of internal conflict until recently, which was located on the lower half of the shi+n part There’s a central plateau divided by so north from the middle part, there’s the Myoken Egested that I changed it into Myoken Empire I think it’s a reference)

Finally, if you go even further north, there’s a continental bridge called Frostbite The Goddess said that the climate became worse near the Frostbite It also coincides with the fact that when the Gods came to this world, they created areas where humans could live In other words, The flame spirit’s power exists as far as the Myoken Empire, but from Frostbite onwards, the flame spirit’s power suddenly declines Therefore, it was said that only demons can live further north from Frostbite

Next, about the western side of the continent, the south is filled with dense forest, the north is the e, and human countries are built on the eastern side On the west side, there lived many elves, dwarves, and beast eons left unattended but the actual information is not clear for the people in the east

However, for the s are irrelevant

For the tidom where we are and it’s royal capital called Monokans Other than that, all we need to do is keep in mind about the political instability in Sonorat in the north

That’s rightーThe royal capital Monokans of Santadom

We, the Chrebl fae to that city

「Uwaa… It’s so lively」

「It’s the first time for me to see so many people at once」

Both of Melby and I reacted while inquiring the state of the kingdom

My first ie』

Monokans is in the south-eastern part of the Santaardztan Specifically, the sole of the shoe part narrowing toward the arch

Just like Saro lake connected to the sea in Monokans There’s a huge island in the lake which called 『Old City』 It consists of the royal castle and noble houses under the rule of the king, Visgard the First

Since there’s 『Old City』, there’s also 『New City』 『New City』 is a city developed far outside of the lake and about 3 tie as the old city

By the way, there are no walls surrounding Monokans

It’s because the castle walls are not necessary for the royal castle which is located in the natural stronghold on the island in the lake Since it was created rather spontaneously right outside of the Old City, the New City wasn’t covered in walls as well

Even when I entered Monokans,guards but they didn’t check our belongings

In other words, anyone can coo freely in the nen

In the first place, iuard the whole un-walled city against newcomers It’s just impossible

(ED: I want to say so but I won’t)

(TL: Karuma, no Trump jokes!)

The castle walls were built long ago and still exist, but the city spread even more outside of the castle walls It seemed that it couldn’t really be called a castle wall at this point

We passed the old castle wall and ride forward

「Dad, I think there are good and bad things from the freedom of entrance and exit What do they do when an enemy attacks?」

「In case of the Old City, the lake is a natural fortress so there’s no problem However, people must leave the New City Especially since nobles only live in the Old City, there are not many reasons for the enemy troops to harass the New City’s residents However, there’s a possibility of looting would take place so they are planning to build a wall A great wall The greatest wall of all that would surround the Nen」

Alfred-tousan answered my question

「How many people live in Monokans?」

「There’s no accurate statistic, but it was said to be about 150 thousands About 30 thousands in the Old Town, 110 thousands in the Nen, and about 10 thousand imperial armies」

In the carriage, there were Melby, Alfred-tousan, Julia-kaasan, and Elemia

I tried talking to Elemia to calm her

「Eledom?」

「…etto, I came here a few times… for my duties…」

In other words, did you caarasu〉?

I stepped on a landmine

Apart frodom, Julia-kaasan, Elemia, and I were distracted by the beautiful landscape seen froet about the landmine I stepped on

Eventually, we stopped in front of a huge gate

It’s a bridge!

「Isn’t it big? In this whole continent, there are only a few bridges that were as e」

Looking froe looked like a coe in London

Fro over the opposite shore

(TL: Literal translation is golden gate bridge You know that I’estion)

「…Is the bridge suspended by that chain?」

I asked my father

「That’s right, but it’s not all They can also raise up the whole bridge」

「eh? Raising up a bridge that huge?」

I was surprised

Even though the bridge was so long that you can’t see the opposite shore from the other end

「Would the bridge break when it was raised?」

「Huh? you can do that with this world’s technology?」

「un…… sorry…」

Well, I admit that what I said was certainly rude

「However, your doubt was reasonable Indeed, we couldn’t really do it with our current technology」

「The bridge was originally an ancient artifact

The tide was quite intense thanks to the ocean connected to the lake, so you can’t reach the other side using some half-hearted war vessels So it’s ie is raised」

「I don’t know the details, but it seee e tohich store the power of the tide I heard that everything is ic but in a purely physical way They say that it was raised and lowered once a day They raised the bridge when the sun was set and lower it again when the sun had raised」

While ain

Since there’s no castle wall in the New City, is this how they check each person entering Old City?

While being sent off by the knight’s salute, the Chrebl carriage advance to the other end of the bridge

「Uwaaa!!」

Julia-kaasan looked out theand admire the view

Even the calm and composed Elemia couldn’t contain her excitement

「Because the lake is connected to the ocean, you can smell the scent of the ocean」

Asour carriage

「It’s true」

Ele it in reserved manner

「Eh? Didn’t you said that you have been here before?」

「At that ti inside a merchant’s cart…」

I stepped into another landave me a chill

Ugh…

But it’s not on purpose…

「Hey look! So is over there!」

Melby pointed at soe and raised her voice

As the horse-drawn carriage moves, another town could be seen from the distance

Since there’s a natural castle hich is the lake, the buildings look ant than the New City

「Isn’t it pretty? Other than the bridge, this is the symbol of the royal capital, the Santamana Royal Castle」

Both Dad and Mo the scenery

Dad explained the building every now and then 「That is the astine And over there is the mansion of …」

Meanwhile, Elee, not the royal castle

There are 2 ropes, one that gradually descends from the front to the back and the other that descends fro an X shape if looked from afar

「What is that rope?」

「Heee… So it’s a ropeway?」

「In s called ropeways that were made to transport people It sees doards It uses height differences to transport things」

As I explained, a basket ran through the ropeway

The basket wasn’t that big, it was about the size of a parcel

Since the bridge toas 50a rope from the top of one tower to the lower end of the opposite tower seemed to function as a ropeway

「The ropeway is used when there’s an urgent transe was raised」

「I don’t know, 」

Thatthat the Chrebl Family has arrived

After we crossed the bridge, a knight approached us from the Old City and saluted

My father peered froht spoke

「His Majesty the King is waiting I’ll take charge of guiding you from here to the castle」

「If it’s alright with you sir, your family may come as well」

Eh? Us too?

My father seemed a little surprised as well, but there was no choice

「…I understand」

「Pardon o inside the castle now」

「Very well, sir Then I shall be your guide」

Lead by the knight, the carriage started to ain

「…Since ere told that way, I can take Julia with me, but what about Ed, Elemia, and Melby?」

Dad asked

「…I woul- no… I’d like to decline if possible」

Elemia declined

Now if you think of it, Elemia wasn’t officially adopted by our family, so that would be better

「I understand But, can you please not to speak so formal with us?」

「I know it’s iht away, but please think of Julia and I as your parent」

「Mia-chan is really a good child」

Julia-kaasan e so

Iya, it’s not that she didn’t ht possibly use brute force to embrace her

「I alanted a daughter~」

Speaking like that, I really don’t kno she made that conclusion

My aze towards my father

「…Nee, Al-kun I wanted to give birth to a girl」

「COUGH COUGH」

Dad was choking while Elemia blushed and looked away

Unexpectedly, Eleeable about sex

「Then I’ll wait here with Elemia The conversation topic sounds complicated」

Melby says so

It s behind the scenes It may be troublesome if they know about Melby

「What about Ed?」

Dad asked me next

「Of course, I’ll co」

「Okay But just in case, even in public, he 』

While dad was explaining coe arrived at the royal castle

「Viscount Chrebl, traveling such distance 」
