Magical train station.

The train left on time at 3 o-clock.

Ghattan, Gotton …

A whistle sound and the feeling of the wheels spinning powered by magic engine was felt from the seat

Gotton, Totton, Ton, Ton, Totototo …

The landscape gradually changed.

Yup.

As expected, this magical train made my chest hot.

Someday, I wanted to have it in my territory.

Well, but … it would be much later.

◇

By the time there was announcement about reaching imperial city, it was already evening.

The color of the sky had turned from red to dark.

There was a time where there was firefly-like particles emitted from the train’s engine flying through the darkness. It looked fantastic.

Pushu !!

When I got down, I saw the imperial city that glowed green.

The magic light had been lit and it caused the trees to had a mysterious shadow.

“Um, where should I go?”

When looking at Tiana’s file, there was a note saying “go to the government office first.”

Then, when I went there, the government office building was made of solid stone and it looked like it had great authority.

The front door was also heavy.

“Excuse me …”

While feeling a little nervous, I went to the counter with the “rewriting document” in my hand.

Then, the receptionist,

“I don’t have the authority for it, I’m sorry but I need to call the person above first. ”

Said so in a beautiful voice.

While waiting in the waiting room, thinking is it that great to change ownership of a territory, after a while, a 30-year-old man who seem honest came out from behind.

“I’m XX, Assistant Section Manager. I’m sorry but I also don’t have the authority for it, so the person above me…”

And then that person went again.

The next one that came was the section chief then the counselor … and the rank gradually went up, and finally the director-level came out.

Somehow I felt that I was a great person.

“I’m afraid that the Great King is already in the Great Hall. I will refrain from commenting on specific cases, but rewriting the name of the territorial deed will be done tomorrow … ”

The director said that in a slightly strange language.

“So the Great King had sleep, so I’ll stay somewhere overnight.”

“… though not yet, you are basically a [lord level], so it would be appropriate to guide you to the palace.”

With that said, the director took me on a carriage and guide me to the king’s palace.

Pakara! Pakara! ……

The place was really vast, covered with trees like a forest.

First, the carriage stopped at the front gate.

“Please wait a moment here”

The director said so then went somewhere, but after a while he returned with a man.

“Aiga-sama. This is the [Minister].”

The man introduced by the director as the “Minister” nodded.

He had a gray-haired beard, and wore a black hat.

What a weird hat.

I thought so, but said, “I got the [territory] from the hero party, so I want to change the ownership on the certificate.”

“Oh! You are the one who defeat Gidra Serpent? This will also please the Great King! ”

“No, that’s …”

I wasn’t very helpful in that quest …

“Don’t be like that. Right right… Then I will entertain you tonight.”

The minister smiled then the director left.

◇

From then on, the minister was the one who guide me.

“Somehow … It’s great ssu.”

I followed the minister while murmuring like Garcia.

There were palaces that was connected by corridor.

The roof of the corridor was well furnished, but the side was open.

The lanterns hanging on the elongated triangular roof at regular intervals reflected the white wood pillar of the corridor, and the gorgeous appearance of the noblemen and female officers moving from palace to palace, also made the place perfect.

“Here, this palace is mine. Please do not hesitate to enter. ”

“Sorry for intruding.”

The minister then gave me sake and food.

As a thing of a big shot, it was truly delicious.

Mogumogu …

While eating and drinking, I talked with the minister.

After talking, I thought this person was friendly, he was smart and also well-trained person.

In particular, I was grateful that he was telling me a lot about the situation of “territorial management” in this area.

“The Far East is governed by a loose coalition of territories, with the Great King as the highest leader. The Great King chose the lord, but did not order any special responsibilities. Don’t think anything hard, you can govern your territory as you want, we don’t even have to pay taxes. ”

“Really?”

“Yes. Speaking of responsibilities … I only attend the [congress] once a year. I can also absent for a good reason.”

However, listening to such a story, I was worried whether “performing quests as territories” would also be allowed.

But-

“No problem”

I felt relieved.

“Of course, if there is any sign of rebellion, you will be the target of all the territories. You think about something interesting. Do quests as territory? Wahahaha ”

The minister was laughing.

“Yes, I want to strengthen my territory so that it can defeat monsters … I am new to this, and there are some parts that make me uneasy about how to start.”

“Hmmm … Then you need to use bulletin board.”

“Bulletin board? Did all of the peoples can read?”

“The language of the Far East was mostly taught by the priests. If it’s writing, then it’s less than ten percent, but if it’s reading, then it’s more than half. There will be regional differences depending on the situation. ”

However, I couldn’t read or write the Far East language.

Then let’s say the truth,

“That’s not good. Then take my [secretary] tomorrow. ”

He told me that.
