I just said prep, not much for the Somas to do.
It's not like we're going on a long journey in the first place, and if it's about half a day, we don't have to eat the worst meal to figure it out.
We need water, but as I've touched a little before, Hildegardo can use magic like a limb.
You just have to have the minimum you need because that allows you to replenish the water.
So I essentially just waited for the time it took Eleonora to prepare the horse... that's exactly how the Somas were coming in front of the city's east gate, although it only took a little longer to add to that.
It is already stated that the Sacred Capital is similar to the township of Radius, but as Radius is, the Sacred Capital is also another so-called fortified city.
The perimeter of the city is covered with walls, with one gate for each east, west, north, and south to get in and out of it.
This time Soma and the others decided to meet up with one of them, so...
And this is also something I mentioned before, but the Holy Capital does not belong to any country.
Well, I shouldn't say that I can't belong, technically.
Because the influence of holy divinity is too great.
Belonging to a country is synonymous with increasing the influence of that country.
If that happens, there will undoubtedly be war.
Not only are countries located around the Sacred Capital, but countries in the distance must also be trying to get their hands on this fortunately.
It is also possible to look at it in such a way that we continue to be neutral in order to avoid such things… but only Eleonora and the others know what is actually going on.
Whatever, but that's the only exception to the Holy Capital, not the others.
Ingrid's hometown village, which is less than half a day by horse from the Holy City, should also belong to some country.
And because the Sacred Capital is a blank zone, the Sacred Capital is also a border of other countries.
This meant that the Sacred Capital was bordered by more than one nation, and that those who came from each gate also had their own characteristics.
Though the Somas haven't been able to see much of it yet, I know if it is somehow.
There are many sub-races from the north, cluttered to the south, but it is here that we see the only demonic species.
The west is mostly a human species, and in fact it is also from this side that the Somas have come.
So, east.
Again, many of them are human species.
"Hmm... I don't know what to say, but the appearance of what comes from this side feels like a poor phase."
"Mm-hmm. We're not seeing so much, either, but, well, those who come from this side still look obviously poor. The country on this side, for sure..."
"- That's why I told you. I'm a countryman."
And if I turned my gaze to the voice I heard, Ingrid was just about to come.
Besides, from what I'm saying, I think I heard this one.
I wasn't particularly lurking and talking, but I wasn't raising my voice either.
Apparently Ingrid's ears are good enough.
Finally, it hasn't been that long since the Somas got here, but Ingrid was quick to finish getting ready again, it seems.
"That was fast."
"I don't want to be told by you guys who were here first. Well, while I was getting ready, it took me as long as I had to prepare the horse to take over because I was suddenly supposed to take the day off."
"I see we were only here as soon as we had the time to take over. So, what does that mean now?
"What do you mean, nothing, as it were... well, in short, the country I lived in was a poor country, so... The country itself was more rural than the village I lived in."
"Oh... I thought you remembered. There must have been a country where the majority of the people were Sacred Gods and were abandoned because they didn't have much flavor when they attacked them, but it was definitely this way."
"Hmm...... I see. I lived in a village less than half a day by horse from here, and I wondered what it meant to be a countryman, but is that what you mean?"
"Well, among other things, I would be even more rural. Even though it is close to the Holy City, not all countries have tried to develop it."
Given that followers of Sacred Divinity often visit the Holy City, it inevitably means that many come and go.
It is also inevitable that the place that will be its relay point will flourish, and if the majority of the people are believers, that is synonymous with the fact that almost all of the people will pass there.
But if it is as Ingrid said, it seems that the nations on this side did not dare to lay their hands on it.
"Sure, if you're right, that country seems to have that kind of place. Well, developing the vicinity of the Holy City doesn't mean you're after the Holy City, depending on how you look at it."
"I hated it, so..."
"Well that's why it's really just a village we're going to go to. Better not have bad expectations, huh?
"I haven't really done that since the beginning. Whatever, let's just go, shall we?
"Bye. If we talk, we can do as many on the road as we want."
"Oh. I have no objection"
So Soma and the others set out.
Though the Sacred Capital is only a gate, it is basically a preparation for demons.
It's a city that's open, so it's the holy capital, and there's nothing like being identified at the gate.
The likes of the guards also stand, but this will be just in case.
Is it the face you found out about, Ingrid lowers his head small and so does the other side.
Nothing went wrong as it was, and the Somas stepped outside the city.
The sight spread in front of him seemed very different from that on the western side.
One side of the meadow is there, with a gentle breeze.
"Well, it's a horse from here... can I ask you one thing?
"I know what you're trying to say, but I'm going to ask you. What is it?
"... why do you only have one horse?
Horses are possible for two passengers, but given the long distance travel, it is naturally desirable to ride alone.
Because horse fatigue is different, and the speed at which you can get it out is different.
That's something that Soma and the others know so much about.
"... well, for a good reason. It's Hildegard's fault, if I may say so."
"No, you're certainly right...! There will be a few more ways to say it......!?
"Nevertheless, what else am I to say?
"That's... there's certainly nothing else to say..."
Probably because Hildegard is something called a dragon man.
If Hildegard had tried to ride, he would have been frightened and would not have talked.
There was nothing I could do because instead of getting grown up, I stopped trying to move.
Well, to be honest, since Hildegard himself is definitely faster to run than riding a horse, I also came up with a suggestion that Hildegard should run on his own now, but that's just it.
So...
"Well, I said that my seniors managed to ride with me, or else I couldn't, so I've only brought one head. He lent me a horse that Eleonora was a particularly handsome horse, so I probably wouldn't have a problem with it"
"Oh well... well, if Master Eleonora said so, it sure doesn't seem like a problem"
If there's a worst problem, then there's still no problem because I just need to run Hildegard for good now.
I may make you pull a little dong about Ingrid, but I'll have to ask you to give that up already.
"... doesn't it feel like something is being thought of that you don't want to do?
"It would be my fault. It's better than that, so ride. In fact, if it was light, I would have run, but I still don't know if I could run properly."
"Well, so is that."
That's how Hildegardo came on to the horse that Soma rode first... the problem seemed to be nothing in particular.
I'll try and make it run lightly, but the horse runs exactly as I thought.
He didn't just seem to be a handsome horse, he also seemed to be a smart horse.
By the way, Soma can ride a horse because he is still a Duke.
So I practiced quite a bit so I could ride.
Whatever.
"Now, Ingrid, ask for the lead."
"Oh, shall I leave it to you? I said half a day, but if we leave now, we should be able to get there by sundown. Hopefully, it's a story of, but the weather doesn't seem to be a problem, and there won't be a problem because there shouldn't be any particularly powerful demons on the road. Well, assuming there's nothing wrong with it."
"I don't think we've ever had a problem. I guess the problem is we're waiting for you about the village."
"... sure. So let's go."
Nodding at Ingrid's words, Soma pulls the reins he was gripping.
They ran horses in the long idle landscape toward the village of Ingrid's hometown.
I just said prep, not much for the Somas to do.
It's not like we're going on a long journey in the first place, and if it's about half a day, we don't have to eat the worst meal to figure it out.
