Volume 2 - CH 104

Today again we were blessed with good weather for today, there’s ideal weather for travel.

Ignore the difficult stuff for now ignore it, today what I’ll be doing is enjoying myself.

The current moment right now won’t come again.

「Deshi, what’s that～?」

「That’s a flower called a daisy.」

Probably.

I try stealthily asking Saira.

She just angles her head and no particular reply comes.

I don’t know whether it’s right or wrong.

Daisy.

If this were my original world, it’d be a popular white wildflower that could be seen anywhere.

Glancing at Rin-chan acting seemingly deeply interested in that wildflower blooming by the roadside, Kyuu is sniffing and smelling it.

「That is that is～?」

I nodded toward Rin-chan as she pointed at that nearby yellow wildflower.

「That is the king of wildflowers, the dandy lion. It’ll bite if your hand gets near.」

「Fue!?」

「Kyu!?」

1 person and 1 animal frantically distance themselves.

Cuuute.

「Peaceful issn’t it.」

Makina stretches her arms and yawns.

The route leading from the waterfall’s cave to the royal capital is, truly peace itself.

That itself is how our journey east originally should have been issn’t it.

After stroking the heads of Rin-chan as she hid at my feet and Kyuu, I pilfer a dandelion.

It’s already finished blooming so, the flower is covered in fuzz.

Blowing on it lightly, the fluff rode the wind as such and rose all the way into the sky.

「Wa～! Amazing!」

「In that manner, flower-san’s seeds fly into the distance you see.」

「And then and then!? What becomes of them?」

「The seasons rotate again and, those seeds bloom into new flower-sans.」

「That bite!?」

「Fufu, they go! Gaoー!」

「Kyahaa.」

「Kyui!」

Those 2 who seem to be fleeing enjoyably are chased around.

「Comforting nyaa.」

「It isーissn’t it.」

With that feeling we fully enjoyed our journey along the way.

Those who are truly strong, relax when it’s time to relax, they’re that sort of being.

……I think that Till is too slovenly though.

While Rin-chan is getting a ride from Makina while she’s tired out between breaks, we arrived smoothly at the royal capital that’s also our objective to an extent at noon.

With our arrival by walking, there’s a checkpoint established on the maintained public road that carriages and the like also traverse.

There’s an observation platform built at that checkpoint’s cabin’s side, furthermore the space is open so the eye catches what’s going on here and there from that observation platform.

I suppose that there are probably lookouts stationed so as to surround the town.

There seem to be yet different difficulties than in Alseid kingdom with its castle walls or, Wilmington principality as a natural stronghold or such that makes use of waterways.

――And so.

「……The eye can reach it even from far away but, seeing it from up close it’s quite impressive in another way.」

the mountains spire up, such that they connect to the royal capital’s back side.

It seems like bones would break while climbing those mountains doessn’t it.

Because of the magnificence of the great mountains coated in snow, my sense of reverence can’t be denied.

Nature, incredible.

「We’ll rest leisurely at an inn today and, let’s climb promptly tomorrow.」

Something is rushing her isn’t it, Makina.

U～n, the mountain is it.

If we rush would the probability of meeting with danger go down with just that?

「Oh?」

Clearing the checkpoint by paying its toll, after that there’s a recognizable face waiting for us.

It’s kurozukume’s oniisan, Jin-san.

「Hang out with me, a little.」

I don’t want to.
