8-1 At the Capital of the Duchy

Satou's here Japanese people are world-fa i either

"A peanut is flying nodesu!"

"Monster~?"

Pochi and Tama who have come fro to the deck

There's a floating airship when I look at the place where the two are pointing I've already checked it on the map, but it's quite i It's a 300 id airship It's unknohether it floats using gas like heliuuess the airship's route from the map, it probably has arrived here fro

"That's an airship"

"Ayership?"

"Ships that fly in the sky"

"A nodesu! I want to ride in it nodesu!"

Yup, me too

If you think about it, the ship is probably for military affairs, so it's doubtful whether we can ride in it or not

"Uwah Truly a fantasy I'?"

Arisa and Liza have also come This is the first time Arisa sees it huh I wonder if she hasn't ridden in the exclusive airship of the hero?

"Master, I wish for that"

"Ufufu, the shape is quite cute isn't it"

Nana is gesturing like she's trying to reach and grasp the airship with her hands Lulu says 'cute', is that cute? I don't really understand, maybe because our senses are different

"Arisa can justcute, it'll also be soft"

Nana plops her hands once, and goes to pester Arisa She hugs Arisa from behind, and speaks intensely about how cute the airship is Arisa will probably yield before long Since Nana absolutely won't give up when she's like that

"Master, I've inquired Shelna-dono, and it seems that de wall I think it's better for Pochi, Tama, and Mia to put on overcoats before we enter the port"

"Right, I'll tell them after their euphoria from the airship have receded"

Shelna-dono that Liza's uide Her main occupation is one of the civil official of the viceory of Gururian city--earl Walgock I thought that she was the viceroy's watchdog when I discovered it fro as a tour guide for earning her school expense since she was young, so she replaced the tour guide

At the duchy capital, we get to stay in the oodwill of the viceroy I' at a normal inn, but since the martial tournament is open, there aren't probably many decent places left, so I decide to receive the favor

The ship that we're boarding heads toward the port of the duchy capital It's not the port on the don, but the one built inside the capital great wall for nobles' and purveyors' use

By great wall I'ock city outer wall It seems that the population has increased too much, and so, in order to settle down the people in the suburbs, they've created a three meters tall wall called neall outside The neall is unlike an actual great wall as it cannot protect against reat wall becomes inhabited only by nobles, the wealthy and technicians, while people like workers, de outside of it

◇

After we have diseuided by Shelna-san toward the ock

Thanks to the pass fro the inspection for entering the city However, I feel like there are too few guards at that tiuards are running around inside city

The cause is probably the corpses of the s that show their positions that I've left inside the castle covered with sheets after defeating the des of Liberty] clothings and their plan of resurrecting the de up the after members and hand them over to the authority, but since it's troublesoot her attire taken by me see the gathering in the mansion of a noble called earl Bobi It'd be bothersome if they cause disturbances so I ock is in an area that is wide even areat wall

After I have finished greeting the previous earl Walgock together with Shelna-san, the two of us go to the duke's castle with the carriage that she's taken out froetic person

I , but Mia and Arisa don't have much stamina, so I tell them to be at leisure in the mansion today They won't be able to ether anyway, so there's no particular proble on the courtyard She's probably quite frustrated since she couldn't move her body toothem, so they probably won't cause an uproar

The duke's castle is as vast as baron Muno's, but there are wide differences in the splendors and the number of present people

Over the castle walls inside, there are four 4 ate Looks like the castle walls are connected with various anti-aircraft towers I wasn't able to confirm what kind of artilleries are put in it I'll ask theon stops at the courtyard after crossing the inner wall earlier It's walking froh a corridor made with abundant of marbles Carpets are spread below, and we come across decorations like artworks that are on the wall and flowers on regular interval I don't understand the quality of the pictures, but they're good cal hanging on the wall along the way on the corridor

As expected of fantasy It's really like aher hands She looks delighted when I wave back It's quite interactive I' inside other paintings, but unfortunately, they're all just nor Chevalier-sa As expected of duke-saht, I was also surprised when I came here for the first time"

No wonder Anyone would be surprised if they saw so
