375 Social tour

"Al, where are you going?

"I'm going to work now, Mr. Garold. I'm going out for a while."

"I want to go too. Al, take me."

"Hmm? It's fine, but it's not Fontana, Garrod-san. You'll be going around a few towns and villages, but will you come with me if that's all right?

"Yeah, I'm going. Yes, with Al."

While taking measures against migrants coming to Fontana, there were other things to do.

There was someone who spoke to me today when I was moving around Balka Castle after changing clothes to do the work.

Garold, king of this kingdom of Fontana.

Gallo is a child of Carlos, who is a half-brother from my wife, Liina.

I mean, for me, Garold's going to be my nephew.

I might be five next year, and this is how I talked in Barca Castle.

The gallows suddenly said they wanted to go out with me.

Is it a child's whim?

I wondered what to do for a moment, but it was okay.

So why don't we take Garold with us?

That's what I thought. I decided to take Garold to work.

"Where are we?

"This is Burma, northeast of Fontana. Today I'm going around a few towns and villages, mainly here. Please follow me closely. If you throw up a weak voice along the way, I'll leave you alone, so be careful."

"I'm not going to say weak.

Really? Then shall we go? "

I came to Burma City with a transfer stone from Barca Castle.

This used to be Elance territory, but now it's not.

Elance became a frontier uncle and left it to the Carmus district.

As a result, the former Burmese Knights are under Fontana's control.

"What are you doing here? Do you fight the bad guys?

"No. I'm going to the funeral today."

"Funeral?"

"That's right. There's a funeral for a soldier who died fighting for Fontana."

When you jump into the city of Burma, let someone who had been in touch with you guide you around the city in advance.

Today, I came to this city to attend a funeral, as I told Gallo.

I've been getting ready in black clothes at Barca Castle.

Gallo is also dressed in a gentle hue.

We were led by an informant to the cemetery in the city.

Burma City seems to have a cemetery for burial.

And the funeral was supposed to take place at the cemetery.

"Here, this is Mr. Balka. Thank you for taking the trouble to carry your feet here. I didn't think you'd really come."

"No, I just wanted to mourn those who died fighting for the Kingdom of Fontana. I want you to perform the ceremony as usual without much care."

"Well, even if you say so. I didn't expect the nobles to come.... you know, Barca-sama. Is your child Barca's?

"No, it's not. This is Garold of King Fontana. They told me I was going to the funeral, and they followed me with patience."

"... eh. Your Majesty?

"Sorry. It was decided today that the king would come with me, and I couldn't get in touch in time. Master Gallo, this man is Legola. I am the mourner at today's funeral because of the death of a soldier from Burma."

I see. Regards, Legola. "

"... no, what a dreadful thing. No, I'm sorry. If King Fontana were to come to the funeral, all the soldiers who fought would be pleased. Thank you very much."

"Legola, Garold is unfamiliar with Burma's funeral. I want you to tell me when something happens. Don't be rude to the dead."

"Of course not. Come on, both of you, over here."

Take me to Legola to attend the funeral.

He is a man of Maddok's age, a fierce man who once waved his weapons on several battlefields.

Even so, he was not a knight.

But he seemed to have been working under Elance when he was ruling Burma.

The Elance flourished and gained other territories, but decided to remain in Burma City afterwards.

The funeral I attended today was for a soldier who died fighting the Allies in the Fontana crusade.

Fontana defeated the Allies and secured independence, but the damage was not zero.

So many young people lost their lives in the battle and scattered.

Actually, I used to attend the funeral of soldiers who died this way before.

Having acquired the means of transportation called Forward Stones has allowed us to travel faster than before on the Valkyrie, adding even more scope for participation.

The city of Burma had never had a chance to come because it had been Elance territory before, but there had been quite a few funerals everywhere.

There is a translation to this.

That leads me to be a complete grower.

When Carlos, the ancient lord of the Fontana family, died, I immediately moved to take his place.

Most knights were convinced by my actions because of their kinship and strength.

But not without dissatisfaction.

Suddenly, the peasant knights just stand on top of them and want to defy them unconditionally.

For this reason, I have been dating the knights at my fingertips, but one of them was to actively attend the funeral.

Everyone will be sad if they die.

If you attend and weep together about the death of that person, it will be enough for you to understand each other.

And it wasn't just for the knights, but even the peasants attended the funeral in the same way.

For ordinary peasants, I would be like a cloud acting for a noble family.

What if such a man shed tears for those who fought as a soldier of little visibility?

I was often thanked for crying with me.

At the same time, other people who saw it said they wanted to join the army because they just wanted to be there for the soldiers.

Well, then, for me, attending this funeral is a kind of political act to raise my image and gain popular support.

I've been working on improving farmland, building buildings, and broadcasting images on the radio, but I've actually been trying to make a better impression from the small tricks.

And I showed it to Garold this time.

I don't want this to be a gallows.

Unlike me, Garold was born a legitimate bastard of nobility and was later officially recognized as king by the Doren royal family and the church.

My position is overwhelmingly different.

You won't have to do so much detail.

But Gallo had a big problem.

That means it's too strong.

Carlos died and became Fontana's boss at the age of two.

It means you have received as much magic from your subordinates as Carlos since childhood.

In other words, at the age of two, Gallows was also able to use the top magic Ice Spirit Summon .

However, at that age, I still couldn't pronounce it well, so I never started a spell.

However, there were already considerable physical abilities due to abundant magic at the age of two.

And, almost five years old, Gallows has become so strong that he can't compete with other adults.

Speaking of children, if something doesn't work out for you, you will often have an epilepsy.

Of course, that's what happens to Gallows every year.

That's what adults usually stop, but in the case of Gallows, it can't be stopped unless you bring a knight-level human.

I had no idea how Garold would grow up in that state.

So I took advantage of the fact that Garold said he was going out to work for me and he said he wanted to follow me.

I attended each funeral, not just the city of Burma, but also a number of smaller towns and villages, and took Garold there.

I don't think it's natural to live in a castle without any inconvenience, to show that there are people living in poor land without much.

Sometimes I'll show Gallo the outside.

Then, when the royal tomb is finished, let's give Garold a job at the ceremony.

After seeing several funerals, you might somehow understand what it means to be a royal tomb.

With that in mind, I rode on Valkyrie's back with Garold and headed to the town where the funeral was scheduled.
