Chapter 13 – To the Third Country

 
A few days later we are now in front of the gate of the royal castle .

“Then, Prince of the Elves, have you finished your preparations?”

“Yes . Thank you very much, your Majesty”

I lowered my head to the king who pushed his old body and came to see me off personally .

At first he was suspicious of my story, but now he was friendly .

Surely he is also wanting this world peace in his heart .

But as a king, he cannot afford to make people who came all of a sudden to see him .

I’m thankful that we have settled our discussions well .

“But was it really all right with just this?”

That said, there was a horse-drawn carriage ahead of the king .

It’s a bit small, but it’s made well .

It is large enough for five people to ride .

The king had prepared this for us for the next trip, as it was necessary .

The horse hasn’t been connected yet, but he will prepare it later .

“It’s already too much for us, your Majesty, and above all this is purely dependent on my ability . ”

“Surely it is . No matter . Use it well”

The Country of Elves up to here is a road full of rocks and obstacles .  

But from here, it is paved and maintained path, literally .

Now is certainly a time to use a carriage .

I’m sorry . I’m somehow being a nuisance……”

Next to me, Helena gave us an apology .

Perhaps she thought being a race with weak const.i.tution such as herself is holding us back .

“Don’t worry about it . It’s that our members are a little too special”

Cecil and I are elves that can keep running for many kilometers with our physical ability .

And Effie is someone who can fly to the sky .

Well, she might crash if she ran out of magic, but there is still a wide difference in mobility in hers to us .

Even our speed are like worms compared to hers .

“Besudes, now that we have a carriage, we can now cope with sudden weather changes . ”

Fran followed me up, to cheer Helena .
 
You might not notice it on the first glance, but she can be reliable at these times .

“She’s right . Plus we can expand it to a tent and cook in the rain”

“Now that you mention it, I haven’t tasted yet Cecil’s dishes for a long time”

We weren’t able to carry bulky things as we are moving on foot .
 
In that sense, I’m also thankful that we have a carriage now .

“Heee, Cecil, you can cook?”

“Of course! I have confidence in my recipes!”

“When we were at the castle, didn’t you have the chef at the castle teach you?”
 
I knew that Cecil occasionally visits the kitchen .  
 
Though I have actually eaten her cooking in our trip, it was far from the taste of something professional .

“Then, can I taste the dishes of Elves too? I’m looking forward to this!”

“I have already bought something similar to the shops here, so I think I can make something similar . ”

“If so, I will help . Once I lived alone before this, I’m good with housework”

“Uhm, is it okay for me to see you cook? I am quite interested in it too……”

Somehow, it became noisy suddenly…… .

Well, I should have expected this in a gathering of women .

Alan, you seem to have it hard too”

“Haha…… Well, because I have gathered quite the companions after all”
 
I gave a bitter smile to the King who’s observing us in his direction .

Then, where do you plan to go next?”

To that question, I gave the answer I have decided .

“I want to go first to another Country of Humans . I want to get information about the Country of Demons after all”
 
What I am most cautious about in this trip is the Country of Demons .
 
Since ancient times, demons with powerful powers have been arrogant and have been in a vicious relationship with their neighbors .

The result is the previous war .
 
But with the cooperation of elves, humans and spirits, we managed to fight them off .

We succeeded in reducing the scale of the demons that were invading around the globe into one country left .
 
After that was a ceasefire, and no large-scale wars happened anymore .
 
However, the demons still kept being unfriendly after that .

“They aren’t the type to relax your guard after all, so we’ll be cautious”

“Yes, but I am more concerned about the other country . ”

I was surprised at those words .

“That’s…… more than the Country of Demons…?”

“In a way, you are correct”

“May I hear the reason?”

The king began to talk about it .

“That country is the same country of humans as Bivnaheim, but its nationality is not the same . ”

“You mean they are pro-war?”

“That I cannot say . It is a country where everyone can live better, for humansthat is”

For humans, I feel bad about words .

“Don’t tell me……”

Yes . In that country, there are severe policies on other races except humans”

“That is…… really troublesome . ”

Even more so that I’m establishing friendship of all races here .

“Bivnaheim is located between that country and the country of elves and spirits . ”

“So this is a buffer zone?”

This is a country I visited because it was nearby, but it seemed to have played an even more important role than I thought .

“Yes . And some of them even hated the demons more than the elves and the spirits”
 
Maybe they had a bad experience with the demons in the previous war .

But a long time has pa.s.sed since the war .

It seems that hatred does not go away that easily .
 
That’s why I have to make peace with the branches of the King Tree .

Because this is only the common sense of values to the entire species of Algarde .

“However, it’s all just diplomacy . I can’t poke my head to other countries’ affairs very much”

“I already know”

“For now, let’s tie a horse to the carriage and send it at the gate of the castletown”

“Affirmative”

“This is all I can do . I wish you good luck”

“Same to you, your Majesty . Please stay healthy until we come back again . ”

After bidding our farewells, we left the castle .

We pa.s.sed through the bustling town, and headed toward the exit gate .

“Onii-san, what did you talk to your Majesty?”

“Oh, a little bit about the country we will go from here”
 
I answered Helena’s inquiry .

By the way, we have already met with the king, so we don’t have to cover our ident.i.ties anymore .

I appreaciate the fact that we won’t be using that c.u.mbersome hoods anymore, but we are being stared by many people from the surroundings now .

Especially Effie, who has her wing and vibrant hair color, is now the center of attention .

“Ara, are you going crazy about me? Fufufu, I haven’t even used my temptation magic yet”
 
Well, she looks happy, so it’s good for now .

Contrary to her was Fran, who has very little tolerance to the public’s eyes .

Wait, or is it that Effie is just that numb to shyness?

“Allan-kun, is there something on my face?”

“No, it’s nothing”

I waved my hand to her who noticed my stare at her .

“The country that we will go hereafter seems to be not that open to other races”

I spoke to everyone .

“It doesn’t matter . My duty is to follow Allan-sama”

Cecil gave a natural smile .

“Me too, I won’t leave the prince’s side no matter what”
 
Changing completely from the time we met, Fran’s eyes, now filled with strong willpower stared me bck .

“When that time comes…… Just a little sprinkle of magic and poof! Done! Fufufufu”

Good grief . We aren’t here for attraction……

Well, Effie’s optimism is also a part that I like from her .

“M-me too! I’ll do my best to accompany you!”

Helena, who has already acquired the mascot role, made everyone smile .

“It will be more difficult from now on, but everyone, lend me your powers again”
 
All members nodded firmly to my words .

 
We thus departed for the third country .
