This time he tied up the kidnapper and handed him and the girl over to the guards patrolling King's Landing.
　There were others with him, but they were soon captured as well. After a brief interrogation in the back streets, we were informed of their capture.


　Now, he and the girl have left the back streets and moved to the central square of the capital.
　Although it is in the center, it is closer to the southeast than to the center, because the center of the capital is the royal castle.
　From the square, there are roads extending to the east, west, and south, and most of the people who move around the capital always pass through here. The ground is paved flat with cobblestones, a flower clock in the center adds color, and food stalls and street vendors contribute to the liveliness of the square. Street performers and painters usually occupy the most visible places, and the square is packed with commoners and lower nobility looking for entertainment.



　The ...... man's world of medieval Europe brings to mind ornate and flamboyant outfits, such as noblewomen in dresses and parasols, and aristocratic men in lacy quilted jackets.


　Surprisingly, however, this world is not so uncomfortable because there are good-looking coats, jackets, blouses, and stoles in circulation that can be used in the men's world.
　It is said that regardless of whether you are a commoner or a nobleman, it is popular for women to wear a stole when they go out and for noblemen to wear a long jacket.


　...... At first glance, civilization does not seem to be advanced, but there are glimpses of transparent plate glass, spinning, architecture, and many other technological capabilities that cannot be summed up in the medieval West of the man's world.
　Perhaps the reason for such disparate cultural styles is the existence of magic, or even engraving, and the fact that there was once an advanced civilization thousands of years ago.


　I sit down in the flowerbed outside, take a breath, and a girl comes to talk to me.


Thank you again. I'm Suu.

"Oh, I'm Arx Raytheft.


　When I introduced myself, the girl who suddenly introduced herself as Suu seemed to be thinking about it.
　Then, tilting her head, she said.


"Is Raytheft a nobleman?　Isn't it?

"Well, yeah.

Hmm. So, Arx is the son of a noble family. Wow.


　Suu said that and looked at me as if she was looking at something rare.
　Besides.


"...... or don't poke me.

"Your cheeks are so soft. Soft. Mwah!


　"Your cheeks are so soft. I'm not sure if you've ever heard of this, but I'm sure you've heard of it.


I'm not going to tell you that I'm a nobleman.

No, I won't say that.

But you're a nobleman, right?　You know what?　Wouldn't he say, "Pay me with your body"?

"............


　What is this girl saying all of a sudden?


...... Do you know what that means?

Well, you pay with your body, right?　So you cut out your organs and parts of your body. ......

Stop the organ trade.


　I'm a nobleman, but just in case you're an aristocrat.


I'm a nobleman, but just in case, so don't worry about it.

"Is that so?　Really?


　Suu said, and grabbed my hand comfortably.
　I felt embarrassed and embarrassed at the same time. I don't have many friends at the moment, so it was refreshing to meet a girl close to my age.


(But then again, ......)


　Who the hell is this girl?
　She did not give her family name, but it is possible that she comes from a good family.
　The determining factor was her cleanliness.
　Her silky black hair was well combed, her skin was well groomed, and her ornaments were neatly placed in inconspicuous places.


　A cloak that wraps around the neck is the mainstream in the kingdom, but a thick cloak made for a child is often used by children of noble families when they go out in secret.


　Perhaps Suu is also a child of the nobility, or else a daughter of a merchant family. It could be that Suu is a person we have to be careful of.


　There's also the question of why such a person is walking around freely in the city in the first place...


"So, so!　I've never seen that magic before, what was it?


　I've never seen that magic before.


The magic you just saw was a spell I created.

"Arx can make his own spells!　That's amazing!

"No, not really.

No, it's not that bad!　I tried to make it myself, but it ended up like that. I tried to make it myself, but it ended up like that. And Arx was able to point out what was wrong with that spell, right?　That's great!


　She suddenly praised me so much that I felt embarrassed.
　But the last spell she tried to use seemed to have a certain air about it...


But that kind of magic is rare. I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.

"Oh...


　It's true that existing offensive magic is, as she said, extremely often based on nature, such as fire, water, wind, and rock. The image of natural phenomenon = disaster = powerful is established, so it is easy to use offensive magic.


　Of course, it could also be that they don't know much about other phenomena, or that they don't have a large vocabulary of images.


　On the other hand, Arx has memories of a man, so he can imagine exactly the kind of magic he used earlier.


What kind of image is that?　You're just pulling garbage out of the air.



It's a combination of a garbage collector and a junk collector.　I'm not sure if that's a good idea. You don't have to use fire or water to attack, but you can use it to kill people. ............ I didn't end up killing anyone, though.

It's probably because we didn't collect enough. There wasn't a lot of trash around there. But it's interesting to think about it that way.


　Suu said, nodding curiously.
　I wonder if there was something that inspired him.


Is there anything else?

"Well, there's ...... something else.


　I was talking about magic with Suu, and before I knew it, it was evening.
