In conclusion, I was able to easily get into Teito.

　It was so easy that I felt uneasy about it, but after a while, I checked with my omniscience and found no particular signs of surveillance.
　It seems to have been able to enter the site without any problems.

It's a good thing that you can get in without any problems, although there are a few things to worry about at .......
Yes. But still ......

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make your life easier," he muttered as he looked around, and as he did so, Allen turned his attention to his surroundings.
　Although it's a full-fledged nobleman, there are many such people around.

　In fact, rather than appearing cautious, it would be less noticeable this way.

"I've heard of it, but it's a pretty logical city.
The streets are solid, but so are the buildings. ...... It's a little creepy, to be honest.
"...... indeed, distinctive?
Well, I guess they decided it was the surest way to do it. In fact, it makes sense.

　Normally any city is messy to some extent.
　The size of the buildings, their location, the width of which are built.
　The streets are often straight to a certain extent, but they are often followed by squishy side streets at different points along the way, as they please.

　The same is true of the royal capital, and the reason is basically that most cities were originally small villages.
　From there, they expand and expand into towns, and because of that, there is no unity.
　The result is a chaotic feeling.

　When you build a country and decide on a central city, you may start from scratch, and this is basically no exception.
　There is no such thing as planning and building every house from the beginning.
　Each person builds as he or she likes, adding roads as needed, so there is unity in some places, but when viewed as a whole, it is still a mess.

　However, this imperial city was an exception.

Whenever the empire expanded the charts, the imperial capital was rebuilt. It is said to be a symbol of the power of the empire, but when you see it like this, it makes sense.
I can't help but think it's a pain in the ass. And I don't think I'll be able to do it.
"...... blacksmith's unique opinion?
Well, it's an idea that wouldn't normally come up. I agree with you a lot.

　That's right, whenever the empire invaded and captured a country, it would rebuild a new imperial capital each time.
　The reason why the imperial capital is located in the center of the empire is because it was deliberately built in that location.

　It is said that it is to show the equality and power of the empire. ...... It is unclear how this is actually the case.
　What we do know for a fact is that the empire rebuilds the imperial capital each time it takes in another country.
　And that's why the imperial capital is so well organized.

　The empire is a country that wages war against neighboring countries with a vengeance.
　That's how it's won, that's how the empire is today.

　But the bottom line is that the imperial capital has been rebuilt over and over again.
　In the worst case, it was rebuilt once a year: ......, but of course, a city is not something that can be done so easily.

　It's not a simple village, but an imperial capital.
　We can't even cut corners.

　The idea was to unify the standards.
　The reason why it takes so long is because each specialist is trying to do their best work.

　That is why the best things were produced, but what was required of Teito was more than anything else, speed.
　If the essential imperial capital was not completed, it would not be a display of power, but would only have the opposite effect.

　Therefore, he tried to speed up the work by always making the same shape with the same materials and making them in the same way.
　Furthermore, it would allow for a division of labor and allow many to participate in the work.

　It is said that this was a distant cause of the empire's technological power as a result: ...... Well, that's an aside for now.
　It's a good idea to have the same thing built the same way, so that the buildings are not different, they are evenly spaced, and thus the width and spacing of the side streets are the same, as well as they are straighter.

Well, it doesn't look like it's going to be a challenge, but I'm sure you're good at ......
"I'm still a craftsman with an eye for ...... well, I know what you mean.
For a house that's basically a hastily built one, it looks pretty solid. I think it's a better quality house than the one they recently built there.

　I've mentioned before that that place - the frontier is connected to the royal capital, but maybe that's why or something, there are still some empty houses, but sometimes new ones are built.
　Recently, there was another newly built one ...... that seemed to be better as a house, if not overall, than this one.

　It's a good thing that this is a mass-produced product, as this is a reminder of the high level of technology of the empire.

But at any rate, it's a blessing in disguise for us now.
"...... Is the way easy to find?

　I nodded in agreement.

　Curtis had told me where to meet, but I didn't know the place at all.
　I was a little concerned about whether or not we would be able to get there after hearing the characteristics of the place, but with the way it looked, it didn't seem to be a problem.

When the time comes, all you have to do is follow the roads one by one to make sure. As expected, you won't get lost in this case.
We were told that the residents were going to move all at once as well, so maybe that's something that's being taken into account.
Yeah, sure. . you can get used to it if it's exactly the same.
"...... Emperor, competent?
"No, I don't think that's the right place to say that, do you?

　I don't know how far he actually went, but there is no doubt that the emperor was competent.
　If not, the empire would not have grown so large.

　But that emperor, too, was assassinated.
　Or maybe he was too capable to be considered a hindrance by his people. ...... That's not Allen's problem.
　The only thing that matters is the fact that this is how Henriette ended up being captured.

　And finally, we've arrived at this point.
　Of course, the problem is just now.

　We don't know what's going on with Henriette, and we don't know where she is.
　Or maybe we really need to help her.

　But I know for sure that we got here.
　Then.



"Well, ......, let's go to the meeting place first.
Well, I didn't come here for sightseeing. The meeting place, the inn, is located close to the center of the city, as I recall?
It was. You said it was in a position where you could see the Imperial City. ......

　I'm sure you'll be able to find your way to ...... the end of the boulevard, as Noel turned to look at you.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one for you.

...... Imperial City. Did you rebuild that one too?
Speaking of which, I'm not sure . They said they would move it with the imperial city, but ......

　The imperial city is the center of the empire, so naturally, the imperial city is with it.

　But as expected, the imperial city's standards are not applicable to anyone other than the imperial city, or maybe they carry that much in some way.
　Considering the technology of the empire, it couldn't be said to be impossible.

"Well, maybe we should ask about that later.

　We won't have time to talk about it now.
　So if there is something to do, it will be after everything is over.

　I'm not sure if they understood what Allen was trying to say, but they turned their heads toward him and nodded with a serious expression.
　At that, Allen's mouth relaxed as he walked towards the meeting place for now.
