Chapter 1 – A Country for Magicians
Sunlight is falling upon the plains through the gaps that opened up between the clouds The plants in the sunlit patches were caressed by a gentle wind, and they shook off the raindrops that clung to them
If you h those sunlit patches, your body will be enveloped by the warmth for just a moment I felt that it arain beneath the cloudy sky I wish that bright patch of land would keep pace with me, however, it was beyond my reach before I realized it
Although it’s been a while since the rain stopped, the air is still humid and carries a hint of cold It feels like the clouds will cover up the sun again at any ain
“……”
I hate the rain Itthere makes me feel depressed, and most importantly, it forces me to temporarily haltinto the puddles that are left behind once the rain stops and splashi+ng the water around with my feet I hate the rain, but I love the time that i
It looks like it’s going to rain, so I have no option but to hurry I htly impatient
After flying for a while, a country careet ates
However, it was unusual for the guard to be wearing a tricorne and a robe instead of the equipuard
“Welcome to our country Are you a witch-sama?”
Isn’t it obvious just by looking?
“Yes I’ witch”
“Haha, I see You’re quite young for a witch-sama”
After saying that and nodding as if praising uard continued to speak
“Would you be so kind as to tell me your name?”
“It’s Elaina”
“Would you be so kind as to tell me if you have a lover?”
“Excuse me?”
I unintentionally replied with a question ofto hit on me in a place like this?
However, it appears that there is a different reason The guard slightly shook his head, and,
“My apologies I didn’t ask that with any vulgar intentions However, if you have a lover who is not ain this country will cause you to have some unpleasant memories”
“……?”
“So, how is it? Is there anyone you’re going out with right now?”
The explanation is somewhat unsatisfactory, but I’ll understand what it h once I’m inside the country Probably
“…No, there isn’t anyone”
After hearing that, the guard nodded and said,
“I understand In that case, please feel free to enter”
The guard ate opened while round solemnly tremble
“Welcoicians”
As I stepped foot inside, the guard bowed low and said that to me
After passing through the gate, I saw the city’s main street There werethe sides of the road
Froicians They alking together with other people, or doing so into the shops that lined the street, I saw thata completely ordinary life
However,
there were people ere not icians as well They walked on the side of the street, avoided taking a path thattheir heads… In short, they were being a lot more humble than they should Their clothes were also quite seedy
It feels like this country only has people who are dressed in expensive-looking robes or people wearing cheap, threadbare clothing
This country see that
After walking for awhile, I cae here
“…What is that?”
Those were the first words that came out of my mouth
A mysterious box of the kind I had never seen before had been placed on long strips of iron, and it was e box was filled with people
I realized that it was a means of transportation when that box stopped in front of me A flood of people stepped out of the box once the doors opened At the same time, a number of other people also entered the box
It looks like
It really looks interesting
Should I try riding it?
Let’s try it out
I didn’t really understand as going on, but I decided to go ahead and ride it I sidestepped the people and approached the box while fighting against the flow of people
However, it re, as I was not actually able to enter the box… I was stopped just as I was about enter
“You can’t”
“Gueh”
I ly pulled on my robe from behind
What the hell is this person doing all of a sudden? I turned around while feeling a bit angry, and saitch standing there
She was a strange witch, with a suspicious-looking smirk on her face
“What are you doing all of a sudden?”
“You’re a e It’s not allowed”
I was full of anger, but the witch ignored ums
“You belong in that carriage”
Saying that, the witch pointed at a carriage, as she called it, that was behind the one I had tried to enter
However,
“…But there’s no one else in that carriage”
“Yes, there’s nobody else there There’s a good reason for that, though So board that carriage, please”
“I’e but not this one?”
“Of course I’ll explain the reason to you later, so come with me for now”
“Ha…”
I don’t understand what she’s talking about at all
Apparently, that lady was the person who had created thisbox, and it’s called a ‘train’ When I asked her how exactly it was ladly explained it to me
However, I didn’t understand a thing she said I felt like my head was about to explode from the relentless waves of technical tered to understand was that “This trainpower”, the rest of it went right over my head
Well, it should be fine even if I don’t understand it
“Right now, I’ician to ride this train”
“Oh, I see”
I gave a s stretched out on the long sofa that was installed in the train
“Traveler-san, how does the ride feel?”
“It’s quiet”
Looking out of the , I saw a co such a grandly-built box, it wasn’tall that fast, and I felt that it was slower compared to when I flew on my broom
Maybe because of that, the interior of the train was really quiet As a
“I know, right? I invented this so that people could go sightseeing around the tohile viewing beautiful and interesting sights, it’s so I have a have a lot of confidence in”
“Ah”
“But the reviews froicians used it at the beginning, but by the tiether”
“That makes sense”
It’s slow, after all
“By the way, you’re the first customer today Welcome to my train”
“The first…?”
I sunk lower intoabout Looking in the direction that the train was e that was full of people
