When Mira looks at the front, she understood that a spiritual art burned with light at equal intervals and that this was the thing lighting up the tunnel. Although it was somewhat dim, there was enough light to read a book by.
It was inconvenient to come and go between Lunatic Lake and Silver horn because they were separated by the mountain range. Since the floating continent could not be used and the only means of transportation was the carriage, this tunnel could be said to be indispensable to transportation.
In other words, Solomon was living in this world for 30 years when Danbalf disappeared.
Is Solomon himself a player? She could only confirm when she sees him.
Mira turns back to her seat thinking that travel over the mountains through a tunnel was too slow. She could only stare outside at the monotony of the scenery from the window.
When they pa.s.sed through the tunnel, a blue sky spreads out in front and in the distance a lake shaped like the crescent moon projected the color of the sky.
The Arkite castle where King Solomon of the Arkite Kingdom lives is near the center where it touches the lake. The capital Lunatic Lake surrounds the lake.
The carriage with Mira in it got out from the forest which stretched to the foot of the mountain and ran at full speed out across the Rageddo plateau as the evening twilight descended.
Mira rubs her eyes with the back of her hand when she was woken up by the light of the setting sun. She rolls to her other side in order to escape from the light. She yawns a tiny bit after that and places her arm on the window frame and her hand on her chin. While looking at the flowing scenery that is slowly fading in the distance, she takes out [Appure] in order to quench her throat and tipped the bottle.
The wind which entered through the window made Mira’s silver hair flutter. It caressed her warm body which had just woken from a nap.
“Hou, This place is huge.”
Mira who had moved her gaze forward expressed a voice of admiration as she saw the big cityscape snuggling up to the crescent moon shaped lake as they were pressing forward.
The town had grown far larger than the one in Mira’s memory.
Eventually, Mira found a big building that stands out awfully and made an appearance in the driver’s box again.
“Excuse me, what is that large building in town?”
“That large building?”
Mira pointed towards the town when she called him. When Garret see’s the girl’s happy profile he confirms that it was the destination and saw her excited.
Within the town, around the area that was in the middle of the distance from the king’s castle to the ramparts were several eye-catching facilities that were located in the cardinal points. Everyone who lived in Lunatic Lake knew of them.
“Aah, is that the Wu Xing Organization?”
“Wu Xing Organization?”
“Yes, those facilities are the result of Solomon sama’s Wu Xing planning. They began to be constructed at around the same time as Benedict tunnel.
The waste treatment grounds in the south, the drug development laboratory in the north and the workman atelier in the west were built sequentially with the Arkite educational inst.i.tution in the east. Together they are called the Wu Xing Organization.
“Hoho, indeed.”
The ideology of Feng Shui used the five elements of Wood, Fire, Earth, Water, and Gold. Solomon’s policy which he had based the structure of his capital on was Kyoto. Mira is convinced that that fellow seems to think grandly.
Solomon was the cause of Mariana being obsessed with Feng Shui.
When Mira came to an understanding, she returns to her seat and places her arm on window frame while holding her chin. The distant town was not yet visible. As she placed her lips to the [Appure] starting to drink, she leisurely looked at the scenery where a flock of migrant birds were in flight.
Although she was puzzled at this situation, if she had to say she would cla.s.sify the present situation as [Happiness]. Mira begins to think this gradually.
When the bottle of [Appure] was finished being drunk, it was put in the corner of her feet and two new [Appure] were taken out.
Mira came to coach box quietly and recommended it to Garret with a “Do you drink?”
“Ah, thank you Mira sama.”
Garret for a moment was engrossed in the innocent smile and atmosphere of a lady that Mira wore and received the [Appure] in a fl.u.s.ter.
“May I know the reason you joined the army?”
Mira casually asked. She wanted to speak about something.
“The reason I entered the army?”
Garret mumbled “That’s so isn’t it……..” while he drank the [Appure]. This exquisite flavor had a soothing feeling to it which seemed to heal his spirit. “This, this is delicious.” He leaked these words reflexively. Mira answered with a “Is that so?” while exuding a triumphant air.
“After all, was it father’s influence?”
“Hou. Does your father partic.i.p.ate in campaigns as well?”
“Yes. Although saying so is embarra.s.sing, but he was my aspiration. He is the commander of the first magic knight corps. I wanted to enter the magic knight corps because of my father originally.
“To be a dutiful son. Father would have certainly been pleased.”
“No no, as expected I cannot say such a thing face to face. Therefore this is a secret Mira sama.”
He placed his finger to his lips. The expression of Garret as he said that it was secret was very gentle, it was understood that he is always thinking of his father. Although it was a gesture like that of warning a child, Mira tolerated it as she could feel the warm feelings from the heart from it.
“Well, that’s good. Your father must be a lucky person.”
“Is that so?”
“Umu, I would want to have a dutiful son like you if I were a father.”
“In Mira’s case, would you not be a father but a mother?”
“Ah, so it seems…….”
Although she tends to inadvertently forget, she smiles wryly recognizing that she was a girl again.
Mira in conclusion says “Well then stay devoted.” Saying these words, she patted Garret’s head in retaliation and returns to her seat. Seemingly ashamed “Yes. however, this.” Mira showed a big smile when she got Garret to say this. (hmm this and the last sentence were a bit confusing.)
Be that as it may, that act would be required. She could not imagine herself being embraced by someone. Mira abandoned the idea since she did not want to do it. (Lol she still thinks she is a man after all….)
It is impossible because she dislikes children anyways. Rather if a child was born to herself, how would she have done so, and what would she name it? (Coughs up blood, urgh this sentence has defeated me… no clue as to how to translate this so yolo.) She recalled having thought such things with her lover. They were far off memories now. (So that guy had a girlfriend when she was a guy? Makes you wonder.)
In order to not become a parent she would have to watch attentively because of that. Mira was able to understand the meaning. (Not much clue on this either… I don’t understand how she would watch out for that, not like anyone could overpower her to do it….) At that time she began to think and decided to just enjoy her second life in her new appearance. When concluding this, she drank up the second [Appure].
