Chapter 8-2. On the way to Reconstruction

Finally, after two days, we arrived at Bamil territory.

Looking at it from a distance, we could see that the territory was reasonably large and there were many residences.

Although it had been destroyed in the past, it now looked like a town.

It is still too far away to tell, but if it is such a big town, there must be a lot of people in it.

The reconstruction seems to be progressing steadily.

Now, as for us, …… we are actually walking right now.

And the reason for that is …… well, because of Lacc.

If such a huge flying dragon suddenly entered the city, it would be a big fuss, so I asked him to get off a little further away and now we are moving on foot.

This way they won’t be too surprised.

…… probably.

As we approached the gate, we saw some gatekeepers standing there.

There is no large wall yet, but a large amount of materials are placed around it, as if they are planning to build it sooner or later.

There seemed to be a lively voice coming from inside.

“Wa-! Stop, stop, stop!!!”

“Is this as I thought?”

“That’s right ……. There were no flying dragons in my hometown.”

“Gruru-rurruru (My species is kind of rare after all).”

Since the flying dragon Lacc says so, it must be the case.

For the time being, we were stopped in front of the gate, so we decided to wait for instructions from the gatekeepers.

But the gatekeepers also seemed to be unable to make decisions on their own, so several of them went inside to check with the lords.

I wonder if the lord is still Satella?

Well, I guess we will find out soon. ……

“I wonder how you are doing, Onee-chan?”

“I’m sure she’s doing just as fine as Alena.”

“No doubt?”

“Isn’t that obvious?”

I’m sure she’s doing just as well as Alena is, and I’m sure she thinks she can’t lose as an older sister.

She was very motivated.

Then, one of the gatekeepers approached us fearfully.

He was probably frightened by the sight of Lacc, but I still think it’s amazing that he had the courage to approach us.

“G-good evening. ……”

“Good evening.”

“Hello.”

“Um, ……, are you Varadim-san’s apprentice or something?”

“”Huh?””

The gatekeeper looked at Alena and said so.

Oh, probably because Alena imitated Varadim’s appearance and made this equipment.

The forehead patch and the grey robe are almost the same.

It’s not surprising that he would see it that way.

“Fufuhn~, I’m not his apprentice, I’m Satella-onee-chan’s sister!”

“Eh Satella-sama’s ……? Eh!? Eeh!? Are you Alena-sama?!”

“Yes I am, but I’m not sure about the “-sama” part …….”

“You should have told me that earlier! Hey! Hey, guys!　Alena-sama has returned!”

“C-can you say that again. ……”

Uhhh, I feel like there’s going to be a huge commotion, Is everything going to be okay?

I don’t think so, look, the guard running frantically.

The heck, is Alena famous in this territory now?

Alena is also dumbfounded because of the suddenness.

So was I.

Somehow,  the gatekeeper really caused a ruckus.

After a while, the gatekeepers came running toward us with all the residents.

When they were in a hurry, Alena was immediately surrounded.

“Welcome back, Alena-sama!”

“We’ve been waiting for you!”

“Come on, come on, come inside!”

“We are sorry for keeping you waiting!”

“Eh- wai-! Uwaa- Oureeeen-!!”

Aah, she called me?

I can’t reach Alena because I’m being pushed away by the waves of residents.

Alena could not resist the wave of residents that was surging toward her, and she went straight inside.

I’m left outside with Lacc, unable to do anything.

This kind of thing is really happening huh……

“Gruu (are you okay?)”

“No, I’m fine, but …… what should I do with this?”

“Garuu,……. (dunno-)”

“Let’s just go after her for now. …… Lacc, follow me.

“Garu (are you sure?)”

“It’ll be fine.”

It’s not like we are going to do any harm.

It’s more dangerous to leave him like this, and even if I let him fly freely, it could be attacked as long as they aren’t familiar with him.

It would be better for him to stick with me for a while.

Yep, let’s just say that this is the gatekeeper’s fault for not doing their job.

Well, I’ll figure something out later.

Anyway, we immediately stepped into Bamil territory.

You can’t see it from a distance, but once you’re inside, you can see it.

The place we entered was at the edge of Bamil territory.

It was outside the castle, where most of it is fields.

Some wooden fences had been installed here, and many building materials were placed near it.

The fields are spread out right after the gate, but we can’t see the whole area because of the snow right now.

However, I could somehow tell that this area was all fields.

And if you look towards the back, you will see that there is a solid castle wall there.

Of course, it was not much larger than the one in the Kingdom of Garott.

Even so, the stone walls would give the residents a sense of security.

Outside the castle walls were fields, where the residents seemed to live and work as farmers.

Behind the wooden fence, there is a shopping district and an inn.

There are still many buildings in the middle of reconstruction, but that should be resolved with time.

More or less, this Bamil territory will be a place where any visitor would not be embarrassed to come.

If this is all the achievement of Satella and Varadim, it is truly amazing.

Judging from the reaction of the residents when they see Alena, it seems that Satella is well-liked and it’s smooth sailing for her.

“….. now I know about this, I can’t let them tarnish it.”

Whatever their reasons are, I won’t let them destroy this place.

I’m going to get them this time and make them give me as much information as possible.

“Gurrah (I’m hungry).”

“……I-is that so, ……. Just wait a little longer, okay? …..”

People are still aware of this flying dragon presence…

Well, of course they will be on guard if something they don’t familiar with in their area

Let’s meet Satella for now.
