Lyuu’s family and Layla’s family (1)
Today, I took Rir out of the dungeon for the first time in a while.
We headed for Alfiero, a town in Allysia located closest to the Demon Forest.
As Alfiero was a town on the frontier, a teleportation door was set up near it a long time ago, so it only took a moment to get there and back.
Nell, who was fulfilling her duties as a hero on a part-time basis, currently had her base in this town, and I also had a deep connection with this town.This was the first town I visited in this world. I remember coming here on a sightseeing trip with Lefi.
However, compared to when I was here before, there were changes in the town that you could tell at a glance.
That was the airship.
Airships were flying back and forth through the sky as there was a shipping route going through this town. Moreover, it was clear to see that the town was functioning well as a station.
Allysia might not be as advanced as the Rogard Empire, where countries cooperate with each other, but I think it has already increased its number of ships considerably.
Perhaps because of the new shipping route, it appeared that the liveliness of the town had increased, and the number of shops and other establishments had also increased considerably.
Above all, the most notable difference would be that it was not just humans who were living in this town. Although humans were still the most numerous, when looking at the crowd, you could see that people of other races were also walking around normally.There were still many stares directed at us. Of course, that was to be expected since I was with Rir.
However, I’ve already visited this town many times, and it appeared that the combination of me and Rir have become well known, so the guards never approached us in a battle stance.
They just looked at us nervously from time to time. The people in charge of this country knew that I lived in the Demon Forest, so I guess these guards had been told something.
I came here today to contact the Groll Clan, the family of Lyuu, who was supposed to be stationed in this country as an exchange ambassador.
Now that things have finally settled down at home, I thought I’d let her parents know that Lyuu’s child had been born.
“Oh, Onii-san! Rir-kun! This way, this way.” (Nell)
Nell spotted us and waved to us.
Yesterday, I told her at home that we were going to visit the town, so it had been decided that she would escort us today.
I understand that there would be various problems if it were just me and Rir visiting, so Nell would once again be the contact point and guide for our visit to the Kingdom of Allysia.
“Hey, how is the Town Lord and his men doing?” (Yuki)
“Well, I don’t think they’re doing too well. They seem to be having a lot of trouble with too much work coming in. It appears that they’re talking about expanding the town walls because the population has increased, and they’re still in the royal capital consulting with the dwarf engineers. I tried to tell them that Onii-san was coming, but they were absent.” (Nell)
They’re not here?
It had been a while, so I was going to say hello, but I guess that’ll have to wait.
“Oh, so that’s what happened. Well, the area near this side of the Demon Forest is Rir’s territory, but it’s not like he controls everything. So I guess, they would still need those walls.” (Yuki)
“Kuu.”
That’s going to be a huge construction project.
In that case, I was sure they would want the dwarves’ cooperation.
In places like this… you could feel that the world had changed.
“That’s right. I’m aware that my senses have become a little strange, but even if the monsters around here are weak, they are still a threat to normal people. I forget about that as soon as I’m at home though.” (Nell)
“I wish that you could have said something like that to me when you first came to my house.” (Yuki)
“Ugh…well, I guess I’d rather not remember that.” (Nell)
“You were so scared by the wraith girls that you lost your legs and couldn’t move…” (Yuki)
“Ugh!” (Nell)
“Hahaha, ouch, ouch, okay, okay, I’m sorry. I’ve forgotten, I’ve forgotten!” (Yuki)
Nell-san, who was acting cute before, smacked me on the head.
“Let’s seal that memory away!” (Nell)
“Ai, ai, Ma’am.” (Yuki)
With a slightly flushed face, Nell cleared her throat as if to compose herself.
