Shinji and the others are teleported from the altar room to the area near the royal capital in Soukai Country by Freri’s teleport magic. When the magical light surrounding them disappears, Shinji and the others can see all around them.
Their location is outside the capital. They are within sight of the gate to the capital and have moved into the trees off the main road. Since the capital is located in a valley between mountains, the area around the city is overgrown with trees, and there is no shortage of places to avoid being seen.
”Hey, can we just go to the city like this? Shouldn’t we go with the soldier we met before?”
Not only Emily, but also Lila and the others remember the suspicious looks from the soldiers. Freri, who has been observing the capital for a while, says that both men and women wear trousers and skirts do not exist. The trousers are ankle-length and the sleeves of jackets are often half-length, and the group’s opinion is that there is no culture in which it is fashionable to show skin.
”No, it’s fine as it is. Because we need to stand out on purpose. What do you think the gatekeepers would do if someone as different from the rest of them appeared?”
”Of course, they will report to the castle. If we mention the name Kuroumaru at that time, I’m sure his people will hear about it.”
”That’s right. That’s the way it’s going to be. Let’s ask them to tell us about another populated town. In case of emergency, we can teleport to another place.”
The knowledge given by Goddess Arian is only a rough outline and does not include detailed information such as the location of the town. So, Shinji intends to use the name Kuroumaru as a starting point to obtain more accurate information. Hearing Shinji talking to Lila, Lili and Lilu are standing next to him.
”So, it’s our job to stand out, right?”
”Not only us, but Shinji-san needs to stand out too. After all, he’s the leader of the group.”
”Ahhh! You two are cheating! !”
Lila shouts as Lili hugs Shinji’s left arm and Lilu hugs his right arm. From the outside, it looks like Shinji is having twin sisters as his concubines, and it would be very conspicuous if they walk down the street in such a state.
”Then I’m over here.”
”Even Iris-chan! Ahh, there’s no room left!”
For a while, Iwao remains silent and thinks. But he had no idea what Shinji and the others wanted.
Normally, an unknown group of people should not be allowed in the capital. But his intuition told him that he should not send them away.
(Could this be the beginning of the way to turn the tide against the current situation? If we do nothing for fear of danger, we will perish... if that’s the case!)
Iwao makes a decision. He invites Shinji and the others to meet him at the castle. But not just to meet them. He decides to treat them as his honored guests.
”Make preparations to receive them. They are my guests. Guide them to my presence with deference!”
”Y-yes, sir!”
”Inform the rest of the staff as well. We are expecting guests shortly! All of you, make ready at once! Remember to show them the proper respect t, as they are my guests!”
”Yes, sir!”
Iwao shouts the order not only to the kneeling soldiers but also to his men in the room. The soldiers rush outside and inform Shinji and the others who are waiting at the gate.
Shinji smiles when he hears this, almost as if he had expected it, and continues to keep Lila and the others company until the guide arrives.
Shinji and the others visit the capital of Soukai Country.
This is a world in which harems are limited to the rulers of the country. Since the basic rule is monogamy, Shinji is an odd man out.
