60 Episode 60: Former Demon King, Hear Songs Across the Inland Sea (1/2)

The next day.

Me and Odette decided to head for Torrias territory across the shore.

”Huh. Slept well.”

”I'm glad to hear that.”

”Why are you angry, Odette”

”I'm not angry.”

”... Really?

”Yeah, I'm not mad. I'm not angry at you at all. Totally.”

I wonder if it's all right. Odette.

I have a scratch under my eyes. Did you not sleep well?

”If you couldn't sleep, you could delay your departure by a day...”

”We will not allow you to have more days of sleep deprivation”

”... Really?

”It is!

Seen in a position where he has managed the health of villagers in his previous life, Odette's lacks sleep.

It doesn't seem that bad.

If you sleep in the boat, you'll feel better.

”Okay. But early if you think I'm tired...... hmm?

”What's wrong? Yuki.”

”No, it's kind of like my cheek (cheek) hurts, it's sticking...?

”... it's my fault.”

”... because of your mind?

”Yeah. I'm sure he slept with that cheek down there. Now Yuki is neat and her cheeks are tight. I'm getting a really hateful night's sleep. Yeah, no problem at all.”

”I knew you weren't mad? Odette.”

”... he said he wasn't angry”

You're not angry......

If that's what he says, I wonder.

Good afternoon.

I heard a knock on the window.

”During the night, there was nothing unusual around the inn -”

'Good morning. Oshi-jun.'

When I saw it, there was my ex-pupple Garm, Dick and Cliff the bat.

Dick's by the window, Garm's held by Cliff, and he's sitting outside the window.

The three of them were asked to go on a night reconnaissance.

”Armed Auga” is not the only thing.

As a precaution, Dick and Cliff were asked to look around town, and Garm was asked to patrol town.

Nothing abnormal seems to have happened, more importantly.

”The Adventurer's Guild didn't have any information on demons other than Armed Orga.”

”I hope he's the only demon in Yoroi.”

So far, there's nothing more we can do.

And then there's the 'Adventurer's Guild' job on this land.

Information will also go from The Adventurer's Guild to The Magic Guild, so the top magicians will be coming to investigate soon. Enough for war.

I left the shield of ”Armed Auga” with my guild, and I know how to attack it.

That's why we went to town after breakfast at the inn.

I stopped by The Adventurer's Guild to make sure there was no new information before sending out a letter to Iris.

Then I'll keep another one, this one in the mail carriage leaving town.

”If you give me two copies, one of them will definitely arrive. You can dispose of the excess.”

”No, I'm talking about Iris, so I'll save one for reading and one for saving.”

After I sent out the letter, Odette said so and laughed.

”Inn checked out. I got my stuff. Garm hugs, Dick and Cliff put it in their luggage......”

”You haven't forgotten anything. Okay, let's go.”

”Right. The Torrias ship is waiting.”

Then we headed to the port where the ship of Count Torrias was waiting.

”.................. sooo”

As soon as the ship sailed, Odette fell asleep.

On the deck, he lays down a blanket and rests his luggage on a pillow.

About three hours after leaving ”The Town of Gazanon”.

We're aboard the Torrias' ship, heading for the other shore.

The Inland Sea (of which Umi) is calm in waves and the ship is almost unshakeable.

The ship takes the wind and the tide and proceeds to the opposite shore.

The sailors sit relaxed on the deck and watch the sails.

The Torrias family is a nobleman with territory across the shore. If you're a sailor there, crossing the inland sea must be something you're used to.

”.................. Munyu”

”You were so tired. Odette.”

I blanketed Odette's body.

Odette stays well asleep, with no sign of waking up.

Weren't you tired in that luxurious twin room?

... I knew I couldn't do it.

When you get to the opposite town, take a little expensive accommodation and rest right away.

Then if you stay for about two days, you should be able to get tired too.

I'd like to take the time to look at Torrias territory across the shore, if I can.

That area is where the ”Sanctuary Church” was based 200 years ago, also near the ”Village of Fira”.

There used to be another kingdom, which raised the 'Church of the Sanctuary'.

I'd like to take a closer look at what's going on in the country.

”Mage's brother,” Am ”. How's the boat?

When I realized, a good Captain Gatai was standing next to me.

Light dark skin with short cut hair. He's taller than me for the head, and the width isn't even comparable.

The captain smiles and offers me a bright red 'toto lingo'.

”I'll take care of the magician. Tell me everything.”

”It's enough to have you aboard.”

”That's not how it works. If it weren't for you, Natasha would have been killed. If that happens, I can't apologize to my lord and sister Ofelia, no matter how sorry I am. You're our benefactor.”

”Well, can I ask you one thing”

”Oh, ask me anything”

The good captain of Gatai, bang, slapped his chest.

”Did you know that the Captain is the 'Kingdom of Guerrasts'?

”... I don't like history”

”It's a country that doesn't exist now.”

”I know your name. Before the present kingdom was created, it was a small country around Torrias territory, wasn't it? I've heard that you joined the Eight Kings War with Sanctuary Church and perished beautifully.”

”I knew you were doomed.”

”At that time, there was also a large base of the Church of the Sanctuary. The king and queen died after a battle with such a thing. I don't even have a royal palace building left now.”

”What was that at the time, nothing?

”I hear it was a terrible war. The Eight Kings War.”

I guess.

Because the nations fought an all-out war, relying on the ancient objects and ancient magic of the Church of the Sanctuary.

Even our idiot son, Lyle, has sealed the Ancient Object.

What if ”King's Ride” was going around unsealed... the world would be scorched earth by now.
