Chapter 669
TENKEN 669 The Trip to The Royal Capital
We set out from Lady Blue and headed for the royal capital of the Kingdom of Belios.
Urushi briskly ran across the clear sky with only a few clouds in the sky with us on his back.
「Woof woof!」
「Urushi looks so happy」Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com
『Does it feel good for being able to run as fast as you can?』
「Woof!」
Well, he belongs to the canine family after all; they like to run a lot.
We’re currently traveling at a very high altitude. Although we’re still below the clouds, we’re still about 2000 meters away from the ground.
At this height, even if Urushi had returned to his original size and were running at full speed, no one would notice him from the ground.
「Woof woo~f!」
「Ooh―」
『Fran, don’t lose your grip!』
It seems that the tension was getting too high, and Urushi’s movements started to get more vigorous. He tried running at a higher altitude, changing his stride and jumping up and down, and so on.
「Woof woof woo-f!」
「Uooh―!」
『Wha- hey, we might fall!』
He even did a crazy trick where he spun around and ran in a spiral with Fran as the origin. It was as if we were riding on a roller coaster.
Fran cheerfully shouted, perhaps amused by the G-force that hit us from various directions. It was just like a real roller coaster.
But I’m still worried that Fran might fall if this continues.
『U-Urushi! You’re getting too excited!』
「Woof...」
「It’s over already?」
『And Fran, don’t put such a face now!』
As we were making our way through the sky, we saw a strange light glittering in the sky.
「Woof」
We got lost in the Kingdom of Kranzel’s royal capital, but I don’t think such a thing is going to happen now. All we had to do was to walk almost in a straight line from the gate to reach the royal castle after all.
A huge castle could be seen at the end of the main street where carriages could be lined up to 20 rows abreast. They must have systematically built the royal capital.
『Now, let’s go』
「Nn」
However, this wide road proved to be a problem for Fran.
「Mogu mogu」
「Momu momu」 *eating SFX
『Is it good?』
「Nn」
「Woof!」
Our customary shopping and eating begin. As usual, Fran and Urushi zigzagged down the street, hitting every single stall they saw.
This is the first time I’ve seen someone zigzagging along a road this wide.
It took us about 30 minutes to go 100 meters. It would have been better if we only had to go to one side of the street, but because both Fran and Urushi have good noses, they quickly discovered the stall on the other side.
「Over here, I smell something good」
「Woof!」
She must have spotted another stall on the opposite side of the street, she then ran off to weave her way through the crowds.
『How long will this take us to get to the royal castle...?』
《If we continue at this pace, it will take us an estimated 4 hours and 38 minutes to reach the royal castle》
So long! At this rate, it will be night before we can get there!
『Hey, we are still a long way from the royal castle... Why don’t we finish our errands first?』
「...Nn」
「...Woof」
Kuh! Don’t look at me with such sad eyes! But I can’t let this get the better of me this time.
『Later! Once we’ve done our errands, I’ll let you go as long as you want! So why don’t we go to the castle now? Okay?』
「As long as I want... Okay, let’s go to the castle」
Ah, I wonder was it a bad idea to promise her that...
