The Road to the Plains

In place of the bewildered Kisea-san, I hugged Rocca from behind. and stroked my hair

He tried to keep his angry expression somehow, but in the end he couldn’t hold it and smiled mischievously. He came to his senses late, but the momentum he had already radiated had disappeared.

“Whoa!”

Kisea-san let out a breath just then. When I saw Roca, I couldn’t argue any more, and I shed tears when I saw the ripped clothes.

“My clothes… I was going to use these as heirlooms.”

“Just go to the nobility and get another one. Give it to me if you want.”

Similarly, the princess came after receiving a notification, and after seeing all this, the princess patted Kisea.

“Really? For free?”

“You have to give that kind of benefit to the nobility of the Empire.”

“Can I get one or five suits?”

“It’s a little…”

The princess who expressed displeasure turned her gaze elsewhere.

“I’ve never heard of anyone doing anything like that, so I don’t know.”

The rules are clear, but the princess said that no one had ever asked for multiple sets of clothes, so she didn’t know if they would actually give it to them.

Dressing for formal occasions is a dress, and for parties such as parties, more colorful clothes are worn. Of course I bought it with my own money.

I don’t know much about nobles, but I do know that there is a culture that values respect among them. If you hear that the aristocracy coveted and requested several sets of free clothes, it was obvious what other nobles would think.

I don’t know, but I’m sure you’ll hear a terrifying squeak. Now, nobles do not have as much power as they once did. They themselves know that.

Therefore, they are more obsessed with wealth. People who show that authority is not dead by showing off their wealth can’t be interested in anything like free clothes.

‘I thought Yurinelle would also adapt to the aristocratic society, so I tried to live a luxurious life, but I quit. I said I couldn’t do it anymore because I was tired.’

People who are not born aristocrats are difficult to adapt to, it is their own culture. The girl who had longed for it at last finally got what she wanted, but from then on, she grew bored.

Forcing others to call him Count Lakponcia did not last for a few days. In the end, he became Urinell again. Somehow, I had a feeling that Kisea-san would follow the same path.

But that was later, and Kisea-san seemed to have already been caught up in the idea that it was free.

Kisea-san quickly ran away after snatching her pockets from Loka, who was standing blankly. Perhaps you are thinking of mending even ripped clothes by sewing them.

Seeing Kisea-san’s attitude, Rocca tilted her head as if something was strange. After a while, he had an accident and had a puppy-like expression. Perhaps he realized that he misunderstood something.

“Hey, my lord…”

Knowing that he had done something wrong, his voice crept in. Loka whispered in a low voice.

“Yesterday, something strange happened with my sister… didn’t it?”

“At least what you think.”

“ah…”

“Should I apologize?”

I smiled. Laughing wasn’t laughing.

Rocca shrugged. “Yes,” he replied in a low voice.

…that’s why we’re still awkward on our way from the islands to the eastern plains.

“Sir, then we will go to the North Pole. Please bear with me.”

“I hope you all come back safely. Let’s meet alive.”

After saying our final goodbyes to His Majesty and others, we set out on our way to the North Pole. Following the route we took with Urinell last time, we are going to cross the Kalcamir Mountains to the North Pole.

Last time you were approaching the mountain range through the west, this time the only difference is that you are approaching it through the south. It was because last time they headed for the North Pole from the Demon Realm, and this time from the Islands.

I didn’t know that I would ever step there twice, but it seems that this is also my destiny.

“Here, sister.”

“What!?”

Rocca spoke to Kisea-san with a quick glance, and then backed away with an awkward expression. As if completely nauseous, Kisea didn’t say anything from the moment she left.

“Is that… are you still mad?”

“This is the first dress I received after becoming a nobleman. I wanted to show my parents wearing those clothes.”

In the end, Mr. Kisea did not get a new conquest. Exactly, I just made a reservation and came back.

It is said that it is not clothes that are made in large quantities, but clothes that have to be made after measuring and making a reservation. At first, Kisea-san’s clothes were probably in stock.

The aristocratic garden is also a shady place than expected. If Rocca hadn’t torn her clothes this time, Kisea wouldn’t have known about it. That’s why he seemed even more angry.

Even though he had some regrets about the clothes, he sewed them well even though the pockets were torn, and folded them as little as possible without wrinkling and put them in an ugly jar.

“Sorry…”

Perhaps the sediment was bigger than expected, so he quickly turned his head without answering. Thanks to this, only me and the princess, who were caught in the middle, suffered. The atmosphere was like this, so I tried to say something.

Shall we create the ability to mend torn clothes? But wouldn’t it be a total waste to use divine power on clothes rather than people?

I thought about how to mediate between the two of them, but I decided not to. Anyway, Rocca is now an adult. Decided to treat him as an adult.

Once upon a time, when I was Roka’s guardian, I was responsible for the problems that child caused. But now it’s time to learn how to fix the problems you’ve committed yourself.

[So you just want to let it go?]

“You grow up by fighting. Unless it’s a big fight.”

[It’s your job, do what you want. More than that, I’m following you today.]

“Are you following me?”

The dragon in the dragon’s sword was looking somewhere and staring at me.

[I don’t think I want to come close, but I don’t think I want to be far away either. Are you shy? I don’t know.]

Given that you don’t understand English, it doesn’t seem like a very important story. Because of his personality, if something dangerous was approaching him, he would have said it outright, trembling with all kinds of fuss.

More than that, the eastern plains haven’t even come close yet, and the environment is already strange. A gust of wind blew, and at night it was as cold as being in an ice field.

I’ve heard that the Eastern Plains are hot during the day and cold at night all year round, but the climate itself seems to be like this. I have no way of knowing what the principle is.

“A blue bird feather…?”

Even so, we struggled until the end, so in the end we created several feathers and distributed them. Rocca, who had previously received a feather, also received one more. This is because the feathers she had received before were lost while fighting the Phoenix.

Ms. Kisea pretended not to be interested, but clasped the feathers with both hands and looked at it slowly. At first glance, it was similar to the gaze of a tomb robber appraising the unearthed treasure.

He seemed to be thinking how much he would get if he sold this, but he believed I was wrong.

“So, Kisea-san.”

“why!”

“Which way is the easiest to get to the Eastern Plains?”

“huh! do i know Look at the map and find it!”

It was difficult. Kisea was still upset.

The problem is, Kisea is the only one of us who has ever lived in the Eastern Plains. If this person is your guide, you will be able to go to the plains smoothly, but if you say no, you will have no choice but to ask questions.

An easy journey quickly becomes a march of hardship. The princess had her head wrapped around her head. Loka, who had made a mistake, couldn’t step forward and just looked at her.

“The Eastern Plains do not pay taxes to the imperial family, but are less important areas of the empire. So all maps of the area were drawn a long time ago.”

“How old, exactly?”

“500 years ago… After the founding of the country, the most recent map was made by commanding the whole country. I brought it, but I don’t know how much it will help…”

The princess hesitated and told the truth. If it was a map from 500 years ago, wouldn’t there be more parts that we can’t refer to than what we can refer to? What should be in the museum is brought here.

If it was an original, it would mean that cultural assets were brought to such a place, but fortunately, it is not an original, but a manuscript. It was difficult to find out where we were.

“Rather than navigating to Dokdo with this map and finding a way, I get help from people who know the geography of the area well. The climate in this area is so strong that the topography is likely to change within a year.”

500 years have passed, and the map and reality do not match at all. It would be quicker to find a village and ask people for directions.

Of course, all but me are superhumans, so you can cross the mountain and cross the water to the eastern plain. However, Princess Rokawa did not seem to want to choose such an option even if she died. It was because I could tell just by thinking that it was not the only suffering I had to endure.

That’s the kind of thing I would do at a Brave Party where the place I’m going is the road. You can reach your destination by picking up a compass and starting with a rough guide. It’s just that the process is difficult.

If there is really no other way, I don’t know, but there must be an easy way out there. You don’t have to worry about buying it. We decided to explore some villages first.

‘Where is the shortcut to the Eastern Plains? how do i know that I’ve never been home since I was a girl and never went back!’

Lang Wang was deeply troubled. They think they are experts in their own way because they were born and raised in the Eastern Plains, but they are not.

There is nothing for mercenaries to do in the Eastern Plains. The area where Kisea was wandering is a place where many people live, including the Empire. First of all, if there are many people, there will be many requests.

And a place where a lot of people live is a place with a suitable location and climate. The climate is moderate, so the topography does not change very well. Even after heavy rains, floods, or major changes in the topography, it is not uncommon for the catastrophic changes to be almost unrecognizable.

But there is no concept of a road in the Eastern Plains. No one is trying so hard to make something like that. Even if the roads are painstakingly built, the brutal climate will destroy them within a few years.

In the end, you have to wander along the natural path. The road that nature made can be broken by nature. So, every day the road disappears, and what happens is repeated.

The wolf, who returned after a long time, did not know the road, let alone the shortcut to the plain. Even he was embarrassed to make the sound of going over the mountains to the eastern plains.

‘I should just keep my mouth shut.’

It’s okay to admit that you don’t know what you don’t know, but his pride couldn’t do that. If you’re angry and pretend not to open your mouth, I won’t ask.

The gray wolf thought so and shook his head. Loca was stunned, then slowly looked into her own eyes.

This feeling was not bad.

Kisea decided to give her face a little more strength.
