24 Step Forward.
One day.
Kingdom of Heim, Grand Duke of Augusto.
"Father, then we come to Ishtarika..."
"To Non and Krone, Alfred. And a couple of old servants."
A few days after Ishtarika contacted me about the acknowledgement. Grand Duke Augusto and his son Harley were in the process of planning a crossing to Ishtarika.
"So you're gonna take me as planned?
"Ah. Harley, make your lord the head of the Augusto family on the date this Non leaves the King's capital. I will inform His Majesty accordingly, and henceforth the sovereignty of the Grand Duke will also be Harley's, Lord's."
Grand Duke Augusto had decided to cede the Lord's seat to his son Harley. It was one of my preparations to cross to Ishtarika.
"Then Father leaves Wang Capital for sanatorium and goes to the trade city. And Krone gets to the trade city for his dear grandfather. Alfred and a few servants, for their care."
"Exactly. If it's a trading city, it's a big problem, and healing to Euro is likely to work as a heim."
"Right. There are many luxury inns created by big merchants in trade cities… I wonder if it would be uncomfortable in terms of service."
The trade city of Birdland is a sovereign city of numerous merchants. The luxurious establishment they created was already comfortable. Haim was of course so popular with the nobles and millionaires of Euro and Rockdam that its comfort and quality of service were unparalleled on the continent.
For that reason, Grand Duke Augusto decides to use it. In order to relieve the fatigue of the affected body due to his age, he decided to conceal the Lord's seat to his son.
Normally it would have been important if the Grand Duke had also been hiding, but he was quite old and he had spoken that hiding was not a distant future for a nobleman close by, so he expects it to never appear in disbelief.
"What did Elena say"
Elena and I are Krone's mother, and if you try from the Grand Duke of Augusto, you will be my son's daughter-in-law. She worked in a castle and was a working person. There are days and days on the moon when that character affects or does not return to the Grand Duke of Augusto.
"That already looked as light as usual. If my daughter decides to respect it, she says it's only an adult responsibility to be safe."
"I'm really a dowry. Don't let Harley think you don't have it."
"Don't say that. My wife is certainly better..."
My daughter-in-law Elena works in the castle on finance. He was such a vessel that it was said that if he was a man, he could also have been a minister, and such a woman was such a jewel that he was rumored to be able to do more work than the current finance minister.
She comes out of a lowly aristocrat called the Baron's, but still a brilliant woman who has gone so far with her strength. It was Harley's heart that Krone was glad he had a mother's sloppy personality.
Grand Duke Augusto, who saw the job for the first time, introduced his son Harley, and Elena liked Harley so much that she went into marriage.
"Then, as soon as the loads are ready, we shall head to Euro."
"The fathers will be waiting for a while on the Ishtarika ship, won't they?
"Right. Looks like the ship is pretty good too. It seems that there is a room built for the Ishtarikas to ride too, so that they can stay there with Olivia's consideration."
"Then when you get there, please say thank you until my minute"
"Oh, let's just say I will."
The first time I was contacted about having a boat stay, I was prepared for a short cramped life.
Although I could put up with it if that was for Krone, I was only a little worried that Krone could put up with it.
It is a thankful offer from Olivia who came there for consideration.
"... should I consider the possibility of a lifetime breakup?
"The possibility is not zero. Non takes many of the money and jewellery he has ever had available to enable Krone to live without difficulty there. In some situations, let's just be..."
It's hard to cross continental Ishtal and then come back with the power of the individual alone. That was why this Grand Duke of Augusto and Harley were determined.
"Ishtarika/Pedigree Atlas......?
Ain does every check in the castle library. I was collecting some material to find out about the mysterious Demon Stone I bought.
"This looks good."
That's what Ein says and takes in his hands is a drawing that summarizes the species present in Ishtarika. Thick and large, this book still weighs billions in hand for Ain't the kid.
"Ha-ha..."
"I'll take it."
If you say so, Chris will help you take the drawings. Ein seeps a little remorse into the way it is.
"... I hate Mr. Chris"
"Oh, yeah!?
Ignoring Chris in a hurry, he opens the drawings he put on his desk.
"Oh yeah. Let's find out first about dry adds."
Open the table of contents, look for the Dry Adds page and open it.
The page was found light.
"Very familiar."
Filled out are the nature of what I said would root for dry adds, as well as skills. Biological information was detailed.
"Dry ads enrich the soil, so many crops grow. I see."
Dry Adds have the power to enrich soil nutrition.
Because of this, the land where Dry Ads live is blessed with abundant crops.
"Why is the number of dry ads low......?
Page of interest to Ain, here's what it says.
Dry ads have greatly reduced that number. It has to do with one nature, rooting.
Using the nature of this uprooting, numerous dry ads have been hunted.
Dry Adds, who can never be said to be highly combative, have been symbiotic with warm races.
But in search of the power to enrich the soil of the dry ads, the dry ads begin to be hunted.
What comes out then is that it takes root.
Those who raid forcefully interact with the dry adds, which have not taken root in the raiders.
Then it's easy next time, if you threaten to kill yourself, many dry ads have had to get to that raider.
Or he said that his own life-threatening dry-ads kept coming after him.
"I feel so down, let's not do this anymore"
Having read it, Ain decided to rest already.
"A, Dear Ein... What is it? Oh, I see. Have you read about dry adds..."
Resurrected Chris calls out to Ain. Looks like Ein also figured out what he found.
"That's one of the reasons why Dry Adds, and Master Olivia was afraid to interact with Lord Logus, refused. I don't hear about these cases of dry ads these days, but it used to seem like a lot."
"Chest shit gone bad"
"There were a lot of these cases. We're here to protect you from it."
"Yes, thank you very much. I don't think I can even forgive Mr. and Mrs. Chris in case your mother has one."
"I understand.... Would you like me to speak to La Larua and pick up the dagger I was asking you about before? And how would you like to join us in training?
It was Chris's concern. Because Ain't got a lot to do with herself, and I've got information about how bad chest shit gets about dry adds.
Train and make Ein feel a little lighter. I wanted to make you feel confident that Ein himself was stronger.
"Right. I have to be strong, too. Let's go get a dagger."
That's how they leave the library behind.
Then I went bowling with Lloyd who stumbled through the outside of it.
"Hmm? Was this a matter of research, Dear Ein?
"Yeah well. I've stopped."
"What can I do for you?
I look at Ain, who feels a few steps lower than usual, and Lloyd asks about it.
"I'm looking into dry adds, and I'm feeling sick, so I'm about to go get a dagger from my wife."
"Was it to your left? I have a good story for Master Ain. With the permission of the princesses and sires."
"Good story, is it?
Ain got interested.
I thought Olivia and Silverado would need permission, but Ain was very happy with what Lloyd would say next.
"I thought it was time for Ein to go through a crusade of demons, and I was consulting His Majesty. If you get a dagger, join us today for a trip to the nearby woods. Rest assured there are only weak demons."
"Is it true!? Yay, then you'll get your dagger soon, Mr. Lloyd!
For Ein, who has always wanted to be strong, and crusade the demons, there has never been a happier story. Riplemodoki used in the experiment with Katima is half fruit, so it doesn't count in Ain.
Having heard Lloyd's words, Ain went for a room with the queen Laralua on a very fast foot of joy.
"Ah... Dear Ein, please wait!
"Lord Chris. What did Ein find that offended you?
"It's about past cases of dry ads."
Lloyd asked Chris why he was so far away from Ain.
Listening to Chris' answer, Lloyd turns into a bitter face, too.
"It will be hard for Ein, the decision to go get a dagger was probably best. It would have been nice to change your mood."
"Right. If you say so, I'll be saved, too. I'll ask Lord Lloyd if I can get you a dagger."
That's what Chris said. He followed Ain.
Ain't hated and disgusted my fellow countrymen and past incidents. Think of him, do your best to help, Lloyd was thinking.
"Though Master Ain't gonna do his best for the princess,"
Laralua took me into the treasure trove.
They have some treasure trove, and this time in is mainly where the weapons are stored.
Four people enter there: Laralua, Olivia, Ain and Chris.
"I wonder where it was."
"Ain't no way to touch it because it's dangerous. Chris, nice to meet you."
"Okay. I'll be waiting to find you."
"Ha."
Laralua searches for the dagger he is looking for. The treasure trove was covered with many weapons. I can see everything from giant sickles, spears, what seems like a holy sword to something like a demon sword with a seal on it.
Looks like Laralua found what he was looking for.
"Chris, will you take that dagger over there?
"Ha.... Your Highness, if you'll excuse me, is there anything wrong with me?
"I don't. Ain't that perfect for you?
"Yeah, yeah, your mother's right, I think it's cool, too."
They have a dagger that is recommended for parents and children, and I let Chris take it.
And the dagger Chris took in his hand, the whole thing glowed black and dull, and the patterned part was embedded with red gems. The making was beautiful and never a substitute for what could only be described as disastrous.
"Again this is... what a dagger for the Dark Knight"
"Then from now on, it's Ain's yours."
"Yeah, yeah, you look great, Ain't. Good for you."
That's how I take the dagger handed to me. In the meantime, I decided to put it on my hips, put on a leather belt that was stored together and equip it with a dagger.
"It seems expensive, can I have it?
"That's okay. My husband gave me permission, and more importantly, the dagger has always been dusty in this treasure trove."
"Why not? It's so beautiful."
The dagger Ein received looked so beautiful that it wasn't something to be ashamed of even when he was using it. That's why I wondered it wasn't used.
"You'd say the name of this castle, White Knight, wouldn't you? Is that why all the kings and knights of history... ask for white and silver holy swords and treasure swords on the outside? That's why they didn't have anyone to use it."
Ein was convinced that Laralua had explained.
The desire to impress upon the first King of Unity was well understood.
Thank you very much.
"Ain. We're going to the woods nearby, right? Are you okay?"
"It's okay. He doesn't seem to be strong, and Chris even has Mr. Lloyd."
"Well... it's hard for you to be there in case it happens. I'm going to be careful."
Olivia is also convinced and decides to let Ain leave happily.
There were two proud powerful knights of Ishtalika, and it was harder to find someone to wake up to in case.
