155 5. Ask for clues

On the way, I stayed a little in the Kingdom of Rapislazuli and came to the Kingdom of Philadelphia. The time is in the evening, and the orange sky is beautiful.

When you cross the border of Lapis Lazuli into Philadelphia, a refreshing breeze blows through. Certainly, Tiararose thinks there is a Spirit Silf of the Wind.

Philadelphia has a mild climate and can see many water wheels. The fields are spread out, and I can ask about the level of self-sufficiency.

Philadelphia's imperial castle was a lovely brick castle with a large windmill.

As soon as the Tiararoses arrived, they were welcomed. It was the princess Emerald who greeted me.

"Welcome, Your Majesty Aquastead. And Master Tiararose, it's a great pleasure to see you again."

"Thank you for the welcome despite your sudden visit."

"I was looking forward to seeing Emerald."

To Emerald, Aquastead and Tiararose return the greeting. And apologize for the sudden visit.

But Emerald smiled, "Never mind."

Emerald Philarcia, Princess of the Kingdom of Philadelphia.

Lightly pigmented golden hair has a loose wave and is as long as the waist. Easy, yellow-green eyes. Her warmth can be seen in her face.

A dress with several folds of cloth is reminiscent of an ethnic costume, with a jeweled circular on the forehead in the middle.

"I'm glad I could talk to Mr. Tiararose a lot. And you guys are starting out."

"Yes, I'm with you this time."

When Aquastead says so, Elliot and Talmo step forward.

"I see you for the first time, Emerald. Elliot Coralsia, close to His Majesty Aquastead. Please make sure you know him."

This is Tarmo, Lord Tiararose's Guard Knight.

"Thank you both very much."

Next, Tiararose looks at Keith to introduce him.

--Should I keep quiet about being the Fairy King of the Forest?

When I was worried about what Tiararose should do, Keith opened his mouth first.

"I am Keith, Fairy King of the Forest. I have blessed Tiara and Aqua, so I accompany them."

─!

In Keith's words, Emerald opened his eyes wide. And immediately, I broke my hips deeply.

"I didn't know you were a fairy king, so I'm sorry. I am Emerald Philarcia. Please take your time during your stay."

"Oh, thanks."

At the end of the greeting, the maid guided me to each room.

The indoor windows let in a pleasant breeze that tickles the long hair of Tiararose. Breathing heavily and deeply, Tiararose sat on the sofa.

"Hmm... You're finally in Philadelphia."

"Are you tired? After that, we'll have dinner with His Majesty the King, so you should rest a little."

"No, I'm fine!

I want to find a clue to Lucia Rose right away, so I can't wait to get some rest. Aquastead smiles bitterly at the sight of such a tear rose.

"I know how you feel...."

Aquastead holds the prepared fruit water and sits next to the tear rose.

"Almost there, His Majesty the King will have a welcome dinner party. It's important to take a break now so we can talk about it properly. After that, I think I can move freely, so let's find a clue to the Spirit."

"... yes"

Tiararose nods as she strokes her head in the gentle hands of Aquastead.

Then I closed my eyes thinking that I would be able to get some information about Silf. Then, my drowsiness came.

"Ah...."

Yeah?

"... no. I was surprised when my drowsiness hit me at once."

"Of course I was flying that horse."

Not surprisingly, Aquastead smiles.

"I'll lend you my knees until dinner time."

"Well then, Aqua can't sleep...."

"I'm used to horses, so it's okay. It's better to touch Tiara like this."

That's why Aquastead pulled Tiararose to his knees.

"Warm"

"Looking to rest?

"... yes. I'm going to be really well."

Tiararose closes once again with a giggle at Aquastead's query. Then I fell asleep immediately.

After about an hour, it became a welcome dinner party.

Philline hasn't arrived yet, so I asked the maid of the royal castle to help me prepare.

Wear lace blue dresses and marine forest coral ornaments. The hairstyle is up-style and has a different vibe.

"Welcome to Philadelphia. Your Majesty Aquastead, Lord Tiararose. It's good to see you."

"It was a sudden visit, but thank you for setting up a seat like this."

"Thank you very much. I'm so glad to see you."

King Edmond Philarcia picked me up at dinner.

Chestnut hair and long chin. Eyes are the same yellow-green as Emerald, and they tend to be slightly slippery as well. It has an easy-to-use system and is in its fifties.

Emerald is a late daughter who is very cute.

At the end of the greeting, dinner began somewhat.

Edmond asks about this visit while talking about other people's love.

"It was about magic and cultural exchanges... Philadelphia is in the countryside, and I was looking forward to today."

That's what Edmond laughs at.

As you can see, I'm visiting Philadelphia to have a magical and cultural exchange.

Because it is natural to talk about history and wind-related magic.

Aquastead smiled and shook his head, "What a country..."

"I think the wind feels good in Philadelphia and the city around the windmill is beautiful. This wind has been around for a long time?

"Yes, the wind is Philadelphia's pride and is now an essential part of life. It's a terrain with lots of high mountains and deep valleys, and the wind blows."

"I see...."

Certainly, the terrain would make it easier for the wind to blow.

Aquastead thinks while swinging the topic of history to Edmond. Maybe we'll have a silf conversation.

"There have been fairies in Marine Forest since ancient times, and there are few such cultural properties, such as ruins. What kind of stuff does Philadelphia have...?

"If it's a ruin, some..."

Edmond smiles and answers Aquastead's questions.

I went on talking for a while, but unfortunately I was unable to get any useful information and the dinner party ended.

But it seemed like Edmond didn't know about Sylf.

Tiararose and the others returned to their rooms and took a sigh.

"I didn't get any information..."

"Yeah... Your Majesty doesn't seem to know anything."

"I wonder if Sylf is in this country. Maybe he knows where Norm is."

If you don't have a clue, you have to think about your next move right away.

But for now, we need to see if there's any magic in Lucia Rose around here. Tiararose went up to the roof with Aquastead and Keith.

"Keith, can you do me a favor?

"Ah, Aqua, you too."

"Okay."

From now on, let's find out if there are any signs of Lucian Rose's magic in this country. We may not know the exact location, but we may find a clue.

As Keith concentrated, a light of green magic appeared around him. If Aquastead does the same, a golden light will appear.

The sight of Tiararose took her eyes by accident.

--Wow.

But in the meantime, I thought, "Wow! The voice echoes.

"Is this magical light? Very beautiful."

"Princess Emerald!?"

Emerald looks relaxed, but the Tiararoses are in a hurry.

Because if you're doing something magical on the rooftop, you can't help being suspicious. Perhaps they thought they were trying to do something harmful to the country.

"Oh, shit, I didn't realize you were focused on finding Lucia."

"Princess Emerald doesn't seem to have any indications....."

Keith and Aquastead whispered and stopped acting.

What kind of excuse do I have? But I was surprised by the princess before I came to that conclusion.

"I can do it too. Hey, Sylf, give me a hand."

When Emerald said so, light enveloped her body. Yellow-green, windy, gentle but powerful light.

It's going to be so beautiful and fantastic - we can't just sit back and watch it. Because Emerald said something he couldn't help but hear.

"Spirit of the Wind!?"

The voices of the three Tiararoses overlapped.

Then Emerald blinked his eyes.

"Oh no, did you know about Sylf? But that's right... there are fairies in the Marine Forest, so it's no wonder you know the Spirit exists."

Emerald laughs bitterly but reaches out into a empty space.

Welcome, Sylf.

─ Oh, Emerald

After a small gust of wind, the spirit silf of the wind took Emerald's hand and revealed itself.

"I thought you'd think it was magic, and I owed it to Sylf. I didn't think you'd get caught."

"... who? These people. I don't think one of them is human."

Wind Spirit, Silf.

A girl with winning green eyes with her yellow-green hair on a ponytail. Does it look like she's in her late teens?

I've been wearing costumes with high skin exposure and watching them as if they were worth stepping on.

Tiararose was anxious not to get a good impression, but Keith next door laughed.

"Perfect, we've got something for Sylf."
