Chapter 39 - Alhart and Famiras (1/2)
Ding! Ding!
The bell attached to the door rang.
Such a sound is naturally drowned by the noise inside the shop, and nobody pays attention to Alhart who had just come in.
“Yo, Al! Over here!!”
A voice called out to Alhart as he stood at the entrance looking around as if searching for someone.
“Heey, Fara. Long time no see.”
Waving at Alhart, and sitting at one of the seats at the back was ‘Fara’, or Famiras Carranzado.
The food arrived at the same time a smiling Alhart took a seat opposite Famiras.
“This is?”
“I ordered it. Eat, eat! We can talk even while eating, can’t we? It’s my treat!”
“Then, I won’t hesitate. Oh, right. Yuto sends his regards.”
“What’s with that, he’s not coming?”
“Yeah. He’s guarding the Saintess.”
“Sounds rough.”
“Well, it’s just a bit more, anyway.”
“…… so only 2 more places left, huh?”
“Yeah.”
“If it takes Rulan Kingdom’s troops about a month to reach Rideiran Kingdom, won’t the battle take at least three months to be settled?”
“Well, considering the difference in battle strength, then that position is reasonable. Is there a possibility of Rideiran Kingdom setting up a naval battle though?”
“The possibility is zero. This country doesn’t have that kind of military strength right now. The most they can do is to engage the enemy head-on.”
“Well, in terms of military strength, then, Rulan Kingdom is no big deal either. But, The Dipterous Sword lending them a hand greatly changed their war potential.”
A new dish is brought in front of the two even as they eat while talking.
Alhart, who was about to dig into the dish, suddenly stopped.
“Hey, Fara. I’m just curious, but…”
“What is it?”
“You know those guys?”
“……So you noticed, huh. Actually, I had a run-in with some bandits before I came to this town. Those might be the remnants.”
“Seriously, don’t leave any.”
Alhart, exasperatedly, whispered as he resumed his meal.
“No, I was eager to wipe them all out, but, those guys got away fast.”
Saying that Famiras shrugged and reached out for the food.
