I hurried with Unja to the boarding area of the magic ship.

　It seems that the regular flight from King's Landing had just arrived.
　The assistant coxswain, Mr. Oishiro, was explaining the passenger information to the guards who were in charge of watching the passengers.


　This magician ship's regular flights.
　North from Guianacombe to Greencombe
　In between, in addition to the King's City, we are circling the cities of Batcombe and Picks in about a week.

　If we had to travel by horse and carriage, it would have taken us months to get there, but we have to make sure that we are well guarded in such a short period of time.
　We're most concerned about

　Criminals prevented from boarding.

　That's how they can travel this far in such a short period of time.
　There's no guarantee that the people who commit crimes in some city won't use it to escape.

　For that reason
　This magic ship's embarkation and disembarkation point is closely linked to the various guard stations.
　
　When the local guard station receives information about a new criminal, the information is immediately transmitted to the magic boat embarkation point in that area.

　This information is then transmitted to the guards at all the landing sites by the regular mail of the magic ship that travels from place to place.

　And
　There's a crystal recording device installed at the drop-off point of the grimoire.
　Every person who gets on and off the train, every face is recorded.

　At the time of recording
　The system is designed to detect criminals if they have facial data in their profile.

　Thanks to the security system in place
　So far, there have been no cases of this magical ship being used to escape, which is a great relief to me.


　At the boarding area, as I was waiting with Unja
Here you go.
　And the ribboneier came in somewhat rushed.

　It seems that Foldente had already told him about the luncheon that was to follow.
"I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused you,
　And a horrified riboneer.

　I'm such a riboneer.
No, no, no, it's always been good to me, and this is as good as it gets.
　I almost laughed at that.

　Then, with a somewhat shy smile on his face, Riboneia
You don't have to...
　I slumped down as I said that.

　in the meantime
　A few of the disembarkation passengers waved at the ribboneier.
'Guys, this way.'
　Riboneia also waved her hand, somewhat happily.

　And.
　I was surprised to see the faces in that ribonair's gaze.
　All of them were familiar faces.
　They were all my students from my teaching days.

It's been a long time, Dr. Safate.
　While saying that, the faces of those students - all girls, but a total of five.
　I smiled and shook hands with all of them.


　I remember six of them in particular, including this riboneer.
　They were all the ones who always had a front row seat to my lectures and were always eager to ask me questions after class, and they were all sincere in their studies.

　Anything.
　The five of them have formed a circle in the school to study Lordship Management and are working on a research project
　The fact that they came here this time is part of that research.

''We had our eye on this Liberty thing from early on, but we didn't expect to find that Dr. Safate was heading up the effort...''
　They all looked at me with a dismissive look on their faces and said something to me.

　I was able to say to them all
I didn't do much.
　It's all thanks to everyone who helps me.
　He said that and smiled at me.

　The five of us who got it.
　Instantly, I took my notebook and pen out of my luggage that I had brought with me
I don't care about the people...
"...and how to use it...
.........the ability to identify people is also important.......
　We consulted with each other in a whisper and took notes on this and that.

　As I watch them, I

.........this could be a disaster if you're not careful with what you say, if you say something badly.

　And that's why I felt a strange sense of urgency.

◇ ◇.

　I took them to the town hall and showed them the street street that is being built in front of the town hall.

　This street is
　It connects the town hall of Liberty to the settlement at the foot of Mount Gorun, and
　It's no exaggeration to say that this is the busiest place in our frontier small town of Liberty.

　There is one main street and
　There are two back roads, one on either side of it.
　A total of three street streets have been set up, with many shops lining the streets.

　All of the shops and houses on these streets are city-owned and built by the city, and
　Everyone who sets up shop here has a lease agreement with the city, and their rental income is one of the city's most valuable sources of income.

　Essentially.
　A construction project of this magnitude would require a fair amount of money, manpower and time.

　This Liberty has a salamander, Sarah, who specializes in summoning black magic.
　Sarah is able to summon four figures of bone humans (skeletons) at a time with her summoning black magic.
　These bone men worked day and night to create this structure.

　Those bone men.
　Right now, we are mainly working on the excavation of the dragon scale cave by the side of Mount Gorun and the town hall, and
　We are mining the magic stone mines in the Gehmose area, and we continue to achieve remarkable results in both areas on a daily basis.


　However, I don't want to mention that part because I don't think it would be helpful.
　He elaborated on that part of the lease.

'Surely this is an idea and a mechanism unique to the emerging city...'
In a city with a bad history, you might have to start by convincing the old inhabitants that it's hard...
No. Instead, if you give them preferential access to the new city...

　People are going to take my statement.
　We immediately take notes, say what we think on the spot, and immediately fight the discussion.

　Eventually.
　On the street street where I was going to just look around for a little while to get to the lunch area.
　After spending a light two chunks of time, we hurriedly moved to the town hall meeting room.

　Foldente was supposed to be setting up a lunch meeting here.
　I was hurrying down the corridor, thinking that I had eaten too much time on the street street that I hadn't planned on.

Oh, my God, here we are.
　Folded arms in front of the conference room door, Foldente was in front of the door.
　When he saw my face, he walked up to me with a wry smile.

I'm sorry, Foldente," he said, "I'm sorry.
　I was pulling you all around a bit too much...
　Yes, he said I was apologizing to Fordente.

　The other five, and a total of six of the ribboneiers, stepped out in front of me, and between me and Foldente.
No, it wasn't Dr. Safate's fault.
It's all because we held them back, sir.
　They follow me, mouth to mouth.

　Foldente looked around at all of them.
Well, my goodness, you've been a popular guy since you were a teacher.
　He said and chuckled.
Well, I expected you to be late, so I'm taking care of it.
　Come on, ladies and gentlemen, let's go into the conference room.
　With that, Foldente led us inside the conference room.

　The meal was.
　I got it from the town hall cafeteria, but
　For a visitor's menu, it was quite opulent.

　It sure looks opulent.
　Almost all of the ingredients used are from here in Liberty.
　These are the items that the cooks in the dining hall are working on.

　It may not be as good as the food that the nobles of the royal capital serve to their guests, but
　In my opinion, it's a pleasure to be able to entertain with these local products.

　All five of us.
It's delicious.
All of this is just from this city...
　Even as she puts her food in her mouth, she is still diligently taking notes.

　As he stared at everyone else, Foldente, who was in attendance, was
That's a student of yours, and that's just as enthusiastic as you are.
　Yes, he whispered in my ear and chuckled.

　But, well.
　That's a compliment, I mean, that's a compliment.
　I smiled back.
