Chapter 115 (1/2)

”I'e”

High in the sky, Izu out to Rudel's back

They were on the way to Beretta, in the outer reaches of the kingdo Rudel to his station as a special inspector

”Don't worry about it A weight increase of this extent is less to Sakuya”

'I-it's easy'

Izu Sakuya let out a considerably pained voice As a subspecies of gaia dragon, Sakuya had a o Even a nor capacity was incoons

For that reason, when they flew froe load of supplies with them

They were headed to a land that had only begun to be set up, and the town's present state was one where oods were insufficient than not

A blue sky spread far and wide to bless their departure, but Sakuya was pained by the luggage fastened onto her They had to put in a number of breaks on the way, and Izureat

(A nus per side… those bags look custom made as well…)

By the way, Izus were strapped to her neck It was pitiful to look at her, but Rudel was constantly calling out to Sakuya

”Do you want to rest, Sakuya?”

'S-still fine'

”Don't force yourself We still have time before I take up my post, so you can take it easy”

'Sakuya will do her best'

Watching Sakuya desperately s, Izumi stroked her back

”…… I apologize for ruining the mood, but I'm here too”

Izu with an irritated look on her face Right, Millia had been scouted into beco Izumi's subordinate

From the start, it was impossible for one person to fulfill the inspector role, and she had to choose someone So Izumi had called out to all her acquaintances But once they learned the job was keeping watch over Rudel, her friend and acquaintances all declined

(No, I know the real reason, but…)

What's ood will In order to leave Izumi alone with Rudel, they had acted out of virtuous intent

Only one…

Only Aleist volunteered and pleaded to be her subordinate That was probably because of Millia

(We're really not like that)

Breathing a sigh, Izumi felt a little worried that the subordinate she finally ht she would decline, Millia proiven up on Rudel, it wasn't her place to caution her on that matter

(I hope nothing goes wron… no, I guess that's not happening)

Aleist already wanted to run away from the palace… she recalled his face when his subordinates, the feed him back

Whether he wanted to beco duty, or if he wanted to chase after Millia Izu on both reasons

(That Aleist is definitely causing a problem)

”Do your best! Do your best, Sakuya!”

'Aaaah! My wing is cra!!'

In contrast, this side was soht Izumi Even when there was a woh conflicted emotions, Rudel and Sakuya were the same as ever

… Wing is cra

”Wait! That's bad, you should land at… nwaaaaaaaah!”

Izumi's cry resounded across the sky

In the end, they arrived at port town Beretta the next day

Arriving just barely in ti to the knight station alone

Even if it was called a port town, it was originally a place without anything Migrants who volunteered fro hard to establish a port

In such a situation, it was iade In that land where everything was held in insufficiency, defense was left to a platoon of knights frooons

Walking down the path lined with brick-lain houses, Rudel gazed at the mismatched townscape as he made for the station

On top of the sily bad The people he passed by weresomewhat enervated faces

(Is the situation worse than I thought?)

Both the Kingdom of Courtois and the Gaia Eic That le person could do grew iic, spreading its grace

But at the saes had their hands full with siic was convenient, cities would groith ease But thinking ofthem, each city had come to its limit

It was for that purpose that new lands were being claimed, and a port toas set up to obtain marine products

But fro so well This wasn't simply due to the difficulty of land cultivation While they could use ht but the power of man And this was a land that had been uninhabited to that point

There were monsters that saw it as their home, and the mana reserves of the people would be chipped down in cohts, even if a layic, that had its limits Despite that, if an eneht for their lives, and looking at the result, their plans weren't going through

After arriving at the station, Rudel presented his identification papers to the soldier on watch

It seems he was someone recruited on site, his service was sloppy

”U-uht, are you? What business have you come for today?”

”I' today For now, could you let oons?”

”No, um…”

Rudel grew anxious over whether this nervous soldier would be alright, but from the back of the station, the soldier's superior caht platoon

His body was on the plum p side, but his eyes were considerably sharp

”You didn't hear!? My apologies Bennet is off overseeing construction at the harbor, so if you want to see her, you better head down there Ah, and I'll take your paperwork”

”… Is that alright?”

Rudel had soht of a different jurisdiction

But the other side laughed

”Those sorts of regulations don't pass through over here We're in charge of all paperwork”

Handing his forh, Rudel uide, he decided he'd be able to speak as long as he went towards the spots under construction

The town itself wasn't too big, and he wanted to get a good look over it

”Master should have arrived around now”

Now a fifth year, Fina looked out the corridor as she muttered

Her guard Sophina sought confiroon matter

”This is just as you've planned, isn't it? Did you station those water dragons beforehand in preparation for this?”
