The next morning, when we wake up, we all head to the inn's dining room to eat breakfast together.
　The first floor of the inn is open to the public, and you can find villagers who are not guests at the inn.
　They all seem to be interested in their sauteed chicken and omelets.
　We order the chicken soup and omelet.
　The omelet is made with lots of eggs and is very tasty.
　The eggs are fluffy and fluffy, and they use butter without being stingy with it, giving it a mellow taste.
　It was so flavorful that there was no need for ketchup.
　We savored it and talked about future plans.

We can head to the capital, but will we continue on foot?

"I never thought I'd let the future king walk

I'm not a king, though.

"Then I'll arrange a stagecoach. At the next inn town.

That's one thing, but I'd rather not take public transportation.

Why?

There could be an infidel attack. After all, we only need to kidnap a savior, a hero, and a saint to revive the demon king.

"No wonder.

　Therefore, a horse-drawn carriage is not an option.

"Well, we're not in a hurry, so let's go around on foot and ask if we can rent a carriage in town.

That's the best. If you're worried about money, don't be.

　And she took out a leather bag from her chest.
　There's a lot of gold in it.

Wow.

"It's sponsored by His Majesty the King.

"It's reliable,

　and the three of them slowly finished their meal and left the inn.
　As promised, they walked westward on foot, looking for a carriage on the way.

But it's hard to find one conveniently.

　Only to find a horse-lender in the city on the way.

"On second thought, maybe we shouldn't care about the carriage. There's three of us, we can just ride the horses.

Is.

　And so borrow a horse.
　A reed and a chestnut.
　The reason for this is that Anastasia is not good with horses.

I'm a wizard, so I can't ride. And elves have lived in the woods since they were young, so they are not used to four-legged beasts.

Then it will have to be me or Lunamaria in the back.

"Come on, my horse.

　Smirk and insist on being ahead of the curve. There is power in that smile, and you won't let Anastasia say a word.

　Thus, Anastasia has a firm grip on Luna Maria's waist.
　The two are traveling together on the surface.
　Along the way, I casually ask, "So, Luna Maria is on her way.

"So I see that Luna Maria is good at riding.

Yes, I was trained in every martial art to be able to help Master Will in the future.

The sword is better, too.

I've never cut a man down yet, but

That's good. I don't want to get blood on Lunamaría's hands.

...... but there will come a time when the time will come. But there will come a time when I will bloody my hands to protect you, Mr. Will.

...... I'll do my best to make sure that day never comes.

　And we rode forward with our horses.
　The speed of the horse rides up a notch.
　The roads are peaceful and trouble-free, and we pass through several inn towns.

At this rate we'll be in King's Landing tomorrow.

"I'll meet the king there.

"Yes. But first we have to meet with the ministers and the royal family. We have to prove that Master Will is the Prince-to-be.

"It's nice, but how

　To that question, Anastasia irresponsibly said, "Well? I'm not a minister, and then unleash the irresponsible words.
　I'm not a minister," he says irresponsibly.

　Well, it's true, she's the captain of the Kingsguard, and her authority will be until she finds me and brings me back.

　So I didn't blame her and rode my horse.


　The capital of King's Landing was in sight.
　The capital of Midnia, Alexes.
　I am simply astounded by its majesty and enormity.

I've seen it on the map, but it's amazing.

　Anastasia says proudly, "Uh-huh".

"The biggest city in the country. No, it's the biggest city on this continent.

It's amazing, I only know mountains, so it just amazes me.

"So was I at first. I was overwhelmed when I was just out of the woods. I remember seeing endless cobblestones and being giddy.

"Surely there are fine cobblestones leading to the capital.

　The endless cobblestones are overwhelming.



　As I gazed at the huge architecture of the royal city like a grown-up, I noticed that the girl in front of Anastasia's face was blue.

　What's the matter with her?　I called out because I was curious, but Lunamaria smiled back at me.

...... nothing. Maybe I got drunk with all the people.

That's a lot of work.

　Lunamaría is a daughter who lives on the hearing aid.
　If there are more people, the amount of information increases dramatically.

　You'd hear human breathing, the pounding of the heart, the creaking of bones. You would hear the sounds of life. The sound of carriages moving through the stones, the cries of livestock, the scraping of dishes.

　It's all in your head. It's crazy not to be confused.

　I'm concerned about Luna Maria's condition, but she smiles nonchalantly and says, "It's all right.

It won't take long. It's always like that. But more than that--

"More than that?

"--no, it's nothing.

　Lunamaria is more than that, there is a sense of foreboding in the air from King's Landing. I wanted to say that, but I couldn't, because we were too excited about King's Landing.

　You'll hear about it later, but it certainly wouldn't affect me if it was said now.
　I was that excited to see the capital in front of me.
