56 Liliana, Part II, Prologue

Looking up at the sky, Sky Blue expands on one side of the field of vision.

If it were an urban sky, buildings and so forth stood by the way, and everything was blue. I can't see the sky, but there is nothing here in the other world that would stand in the way of that blue.

On this day, those who arrived at the Astel-Nerferia border were greeted by the sky that pushed them through.

From the night Shuiming headed to persuade Liliana, a few days later. Trinity II, the brave man of Astel, one of its lines had arrived at the fortress on the Nerferia Empire border.

Trinity, who finished the censorship one foot away, looked at the erosion zone that spreads in front of her, and then Mizuki, who finished the censorship, stopped early enough.

"Triju-kun. You've finally arrived at the Nerferia Empire."

"Yeah. Really."

Trinity responds with a soft look to Mizuki, who has grinned and cheered. After leaving the city of Kranto, he travelled by horse through the territory of Hadrias and came this far through the main streets across Astel, Nerferia and the Autonomous Province of Sardias United.

Until before the border, many greens spread, but beyond this there are fewer green spaces, turning them into unique terrain eroded by rivers. If we get to the area around the Imperial Capital, we'll get greener, but we'll never see the big woods we've often seen before for the time being.

Then, Mizuki looks smudged somewhere and speaks to Trinity.

"I've thought about it before, but this place is like a Grand Canyon terrain,"

When you say that, do you think of the spectacular scenery that you often see in photographs and video? Indeed, she's right, the Grand Canyon is also a canyon that was eroded by the river. Here too, a large valley opens its mouth in front of it, with narrow, but seemingly deep, rivers flowing at the bottom.

"What do you think of this place?

"Huh? Yeah. I don't feel that hard, but I do get that impression."

"Right. Ah, I have to go through here again -. Nah."

"Tired of it?"

"Because - my shoes broke when I came forward..."

"Speaking of which, you did."

Dropped Mizuki, with an edifying face and disappointment, now drops his eyes on his feet.

And my leg hurts.

"It's magic, okay?"

Trinity says optimistically, but Mizuki's face is a boo-boo face that remains unseen. The road ahead, the majority of which is maintained, is partly where you have to get off the horse and walk. All in all, those places were places where the rocky skin burst out, and Mizuki, unfamiliar with walking down the mountain path, destroyed the sneakers she had been wearing from the other world. I'm sorry it seemed like a favorite for a long time, but he also looked pretty sorry for the uncomfortable shoes he changed after that.

"But, Triju-kun? It's hard to relieve pain with magic, isn't it?

"Right. We'll have to use the technique again when it's over."

"Yes, yes. In exchange for that, Triji-kun is fine. You don't hurt your legs or anything, do you?

"It's... well, I have the protection of Yingjie's summons"

"Hey, split that up for me, too? Isn't that nice?

Mizuki smiles so lovingly that she snuggles up on Trinity's chest.

"I can't."

"Ketty Ketty!"

In an attempt to Habu Mizuki, she says and swells her cheeks like she's cute. Poor thing, but I can't do anything I can't even do as Trinity II. If it's something I can give you, I'll be doing it before you tell me.

Two, Trinity turns her gaze to the canyon. There was something emotional about the second road.

"It feels strange to go through here again..."

Yes, when you're smug as you immerse yourself in the gushing thoughts,

"- Right. Whatever you say, Lady Reggie jumped out before this."

"Heh ⁉ ahaha..."

Trinity turns hastily to her voice from the rear. Titania, who had finished censorship, was smiling and talking to Trinity.

Trinity on the other hand is bitter or not moisturizing, the only thing I can do is put on a pulled grin.

"Tia, you've forgiven me for that story before."

"Yeah. But don't you mind if they say something stupid about it?

"Right. Tia's right, I think I'll be forgiven for that, too, right?

"Ah. Mizuki, no..."

Next to Trinity, who is turned to his enemies by friends and looks resentful, Mizuki and Titania of the day smile all together and say "hey".

In the meantime, Luca, your lady knight, came out of the fort. If you look closely, she is accustomed to carrying a wrap in her hand. Soon, when you come to Titania,

"Your Highness, I forgot something."

"Oh, Luca? Something happened - Eh ⁉"

As soon as I saw Luca, Titania, who was smiling as well as Mizuki, froze as if she had also been instantly frozen. Why are you surprised? Forgetfulness is not so strange, but it is.

Mizuki tilts her little neck.

"What's going on?

"I don't care much, Mizuki!

Asked by Mizuki, Titania is mundane. Trinity slips through her side like that and sees Luca's wrapper in her possession ahead of time. The wrap stretched out in a bar shape, making a proper metal noise to the touch or something.

"... This is a sword. Is that Tia's stuff?

"Ha - ⁉ Lady Reggie, when? ⁉"

"You had this. I'm a little surprised by the sword."

"It's, uh... Um... the..."

"Ah ⁉ hey! Could that be, like, a royal sword or something? Like, it's not suitable for use in action, but it's something authoritative that the royal family definitely has to take with them when they travel!

"Ah ⁉ that's it! Mizuki is right! That's what it is!

"... something tier, looks so desperate from earlier..."

"That's Master Reggie's fault!

That being said, Titania gets into denial with enough momentum to gush sweat out of her forehead. The wattage doesn't fit. It is so messy as never before. Next to her like that, I looked up to the sky to see if Mizuki remembered anything.

"The sword... Speaking of which, Triji-kun's sword has worn out a lot."

"Oh yeah..."

Like Rui Shu said, Trinity pulls out the sword inserted in her hips in a troubled manner. A blade had been broken by the way on the body with its face out of the sheath. In addition to the battle against the Demons, the fact that they fought Rajas is responsible for it. Originally strained on the sword with a sword like a burning blade, it clashed with Rajas' fist, thus missing the blade surface of Orihalcon.

Then, Titania coughed up a terrible

"I think you should go to the Imperial City. I think you have a blacksmith. So I was wondering if it would be okay to start over and ask for something new. As far as I'm concerned, I would have liked to have it preserved until we arrived in the Sardias Union or the Autonomous Prefecture..."

Trinity asks Titania, who looks like she gave up if she had no choice.

"Tia. Are the blacksmiths in the coalition amazing?

"Yeah. I think we've talked before about a country where the Sardias Union was able to bring together a lot of countries. Once upon a time, when the Union decided on the representative patriarchal kingdom of all the nations of the Union, representatives of all nations fought with swords and swords."

"Ah! That's why there's so much to do with the sword right now!

"Yes, swordsmanship, blacksmiths and the treatment of strong swordsmen are different from other countries"

Trinity then raises the sword of Orihalcon and looks out with some distant eye.

"The land of swords... I want to train swords there too. This way, at a very strong swordsman."

After I said that, I joked, "Oh, my God." At Trinity, Titania said,

"Surely there are currently three Seven Swords in the Union. If you get a chance to go to the coalition, you might want to meet them."

"I hear that seven swords are good, but are they strong?

"The Seven Swords is the title that will be crowned by the swordsmen who are regarded as the strongest in the north and centre of the continent. It is also said to be comparable to a thousand soldiers on its own."

"Thousands are amazing! A thousand! Real Ri, it's Lubu! Yes!"

Mizuki, who heard about Titania, is quite excited that the middle two hearts were inspired.

Then Titania looks up to the one with the Empire.

"There is also a swordsman in the Nerferia Empire who will be heading there with the name 'The Lonely Shadow'. He is one of the best users of the Empire, having raised many martial arts in night wars and ambushes. So much so that the group of nations adjacent to the southern part of the Empire are made from their strength and inhumanity to songs about children who don't listen."

"Singing is the guy who's coming if you don't listen to him, right? That's amazing."

"Hey Tiatia! What kind of song is that?

"Uh... then." Once out, the Orga also escapes the Lonely Sword General. Good boy rests in bed early. Don't stay up late. For those of you who don't listen, there will be a lonely shadow coming out of the darkness of the night, and they will come to kill you. '"

"Wow..."

Regardless of the voice of the Mizuki, Teatania continued,

"'Once out, the sword general of the lonely shadow who scatters to kill. Good boys are always nice. Don't be mean. Bad kids come out of their shadows and they come to kill you.'"

"Fine, that's a tight song..."

To Titania's song, Mizuki puts his face on. I'm coming to kill you. I guess the word felt tough on her. But if it's not that much of a song, won't the child be scared?

What happened to Titania when Trinity was admired for the anecdote? Suddenly create a translation face.

"We talked a lot about swordsmen, but I don't think Master Reggie has to remember the sword under someone else?

"Why?"

"Master Reggie has good sword muscle. I also learned the basics in the castle, and wondered if I should stretch them out as they were rather than incorporate someone else's sword moves weirdly."

"Tia, do you know that?

"Huh? Oh, I just felt that way! Because Master Reggie is a brave man!

"... As Trijukun said, it's weird what a tier you are today"

"That's why it's my fault!

"... well, whether you train or not, you won't be able to make it to the Sardias Coalition any time soon"

When Trinity says so with her pulled sword in her sheath, Mizuki and Titania look at him with a rugged look. And

"You had to restrain this previous princess's movements in Imperial City, sure. What does Tia think about that?

"Come on? That guy, what the hell are you doing?"

It's unusual for a teatania, humming her nose in the wind she said she wouldn't be disturbed. Again, she doesn't quite care about Hadrias. Even when I told her to go to the Empire in Kranto City before, I remember her getting angry as a blaze and trying to go to protest.

In the end, there's something about Gregory, so I had to give up.

"... that man, the next time I see him, I'll definitely let you toothpick him"

"Wow, I'd be awfully motivated if I tied it"

"Of course!

It seems certain enough to make Hadrias regret it for her. I even make a fist grip and burn my fighting spirit at no time. To her like that, Trinity said,

"Tia's been like that against that guy since the beginning, but did something happen before with the Duke of Hadrias?

"Huh...? Yeah, well, there's a lot going on with the Duke."

I let my gaze swim, I let it go to the side. Teatania I'm not trying to fit in. She was the one who replied vaguely, but there Luca, who had refrained behind her, opened her mouth.

"That was before when His Royal Highness fought with the Duke of Hadrias..."

"Ru, Luca - ⁉"

"Huh? Competition? When I tied you up, did you fight the Duke of Hadrias?

"Heh, what kind of battle?

Trinity asks in an intriguing way, but Titania yells at Luca just saying it's not the kind of situation she's answering.

"Luca, you are a detour today!

Noisy like that, Gregory and Roffrey, who eventually finished censoring, brought the horse with them. Teatania with eyes on them, energetically waving Mizuki and a look stuffed with cut feathers on Luca.

Give them a gentle look before Trinity looks in the direction of the Imperial capital. It's a good day to travel, but I care about Hadrias' instructions. What awaits you beyond that?
