128 years in the life of the King, 30 days in the red moon.

The first thing I thought when I arrived in Yazmatokuni was, "This is the countryside.

The idyllic countryside, the cheerful voices of old ladies echoing in the shops, legendary swords and little kids running around brandishing tree branches.

Lately, it's been full of mentally exhausting events such as being captured and imprisoned by soldiers or the town being burned to the ground, so I'm really grateful for such a relaxing atmosphere.

The atmosphere of the inn is similar to that of my parents' house, so it's a relief to be able to relax.

I wish that this world will always be peaceful.

[The 128th year of the Holy King's career, the 31st of the Red Moon]

We were summoned in the morning by the emissaries of the Yazmat nation, and our brief peace came to an abrupt end.

We were summoned by Queen Litis, the head of state who rules the country.

The queen said she wanted to ask our party of heroes to help her defeat the white dragons that inhabit the snowy mountains of northern Yasumato.

Kanemitsu said, "Isn't there a warrior in this country too? But the scales of white dragons are harder than steel, and swords that can be struck in the land of Yazmat are no match for them.

I've heard that there are some magicians, but more than 90% of them are women.

I've been told that women are not allowed to be on the battlefield by the rules of this country, which is why they are not allowed to be mobilized to fight.

Even though it's a rule of the country, it still seems to be a bit....

"The year of the Holy King's life: 128 years, 32 days in the red moon.

As we were preparing to defeat the White Dragon, a very handsome young man appeared and said, "Please let me help you! He volunteered to do so.

His name is Sidia, and what a real son of Queen Litis.

The slightly frizzy blonde hair, the slender body, the rapier at the waist...it's as if she is the incarnation of beauty, and no matter how many times I am reincarnated, it's a level I will never reach.

This world is really an unequal place.

It's the first day of climbing the snowy mountains in the north.

Perhaps thanks to having experienced the heavy snowfall area of hell in the Frost Kingdom a while ago, the brave group seems to be surprisingly unconcerned with everyone.

However, Prince Sidheer, who is supposed to be a local, is shivering all the time, perhaps because he's too cold.

I had no choice but to lend him my blanket, which made him very happy.

As the sun was setting, we found a nice cave, so we decided to bivouac here for the day.

[The Holy King's career 128 years, the red moon, 34 days]

The second day of the climb.

The heavy snow was getting heavier, and visibility was white.

Prince Sidheer said, "The weather in this area is changeable, and if you push yourself to climb when it's snowing hard, you might get lost, so you shouldn't move until the weather settles.

In the end, the snow didn't stop for a long time, and we had to stay in the same place for another day.

Incidentally, Prince Sidheer, who is still cold and shy, has stayed close to my side.

I wish this was a girl.

[The Holy King's 128 years in the Red Moon, 35 days]

Third day of climbing.

Unfortunately, there was a blizzard and we couldn't go any further.

But just then, Sharon, whose frustration had reached its limit, unleashed the Flare Storm, just as she had done in the northern mountains of the Frost Kingdom in the past!

He hadn't imagined that he would be attacked suddenly from beyond the snow-stained white landscape, and he hadn't imagined that he would be attacked at all.

He could see the white behemoth rolling down the rocky mountain and crashing down to the bottom of the valley before falling into the river and being swept away, but that was not going to save him by any means.

And whether it was triggered by Sharon's blow, or whether it was triggered by the defeat of the White Dragon again is a mystery, but for the first time in two days, sunshine was shining on the snow-covered snowy mountains.

But today was already the 'end of the red month'.

If we continue to enter the Black Moon in the snowy mountains, we'll be in a lot of trouble, so the group of us rushed back to the capital.

[The 128th year of the Holy King's career: the first day of the Black Moon]

So the black moon has arrived, when the sun spirits hide themselves and the world is enveloped in darkness.

It will be brighter if we can endure it for another ten days, so we'll probably stay at the inn until then.

The next place we're going to is a place called the Burning Land.

When the cold is over, the next time it's scorching hot, oh no, no, no.

[The Holy King's career: 128 years, black moon, 2nd day of the month]

For some reason, Sharon seemed to be in a bad mood, so I asked her what was wrong, and she muttered, "This country is crazy.

I was surprised by the abrupt word, but Sharon said that she had heard information that a number of sacrifices had been made to the White Dragon so far.

The ones chosen as sacrifices were all orphans who had no relatives.

Moreover, the reason why we were sent to defeat them this time - there were no convenient children (..........) to sacrifice.

The brave man who learned the shocking truth was trembling with anger, and Renette also remembered her deceased brother, and she was only depressed in a painful way.

In the end, since Sharon refused to stay any longer, we decided to pass through the darkness and head to our next destination.

Today I'm writing this diary under a small lantern while camping out on the dark plains in total darkness.

Speaking of which, just before we left the village earlier this morning, Prince Sidia came after us, but as soon as Sharon glared at us with a terrific look on her face, she pulled back with a sad look on her face, which is a bit of a regret.

What in the world was he trying to tell us...?
