Leon the Hero. That is the man who once defeated a vicious demon known as the Demon King with me.
“Heh~. So that’s where he’s from huh.”
“Yes. Now he is a legendary figure, revered like a god.”
I rarely had a chance to see him after defeating the Demon King, and I had only heard that he died decades before I died. Apparently, the village where the hero was born has now developed into the largest country in the world.
『It’s very different from Master whose Tower of the Great Sage collapsed. Perhaps it’s the difference in popularity?』
Lindwurm, you’re too harsh.
(He was certainly a good man. And apparently, he turned down the courtship of a beautiful princess and married his childhood friend from his family home.… Damn, I’m jealous of those two choices to the point of death… Uu!)
By the way, if it were me, I would choose the one with the larger breasts.
“And the royal family that currently rules that country is said to be the descendants of the hero.”
『It seems that the hero met a happy end while being watched over by many children and grandchildren…… On the other hand, Master could not leave even a single child. Maybe you’re still a virgin?』
T-there’s no way I’m a virgin, you know!?
“……Ah, I can see it now.”
It seems that we have arrived at the imperial capital.
“Wow, it’s a magnificent city.”
Looking down from the sky, I let out an exclamation. It is surrounded by thick walls and is crammed with tall buildings. However, it never felt cluttered, and it gave the impression of being very orderly. The roads are also built in straight lines, and I am sure that it has developed under a clear urban plan.
We descend to the ground a short distance from the city and walk along the road to the city gate. It seems that there are seven castle gates in total, and the road that starts from there extends to every corner of this country.
“Hey! There’s a long line!”
“Mmm.”
“That’s true…… Normally, it shouldn’t be this long……”
There was a queue in front of the castle gate. It seems that the checkpoint is taking a long time due to the large number of people trying to enter the city.
If you have a special permit, you can go inside without going through a checkpoint, but that’s not the case for those of us who are new to this city I guess.
“Don’t worry, if you have an A-rank or higher level Adventurer’s Guild Card, you can use it as a permit.”
“Is that so?”
By the way, Meltera is also an A-rank adventurer.
“I can’t believe there are two A-rank adventurer babies…… Just what is really going on……?”
“Aside from Reus-sama, I’m registered with my real age.”
Apparently, when she first visited the Adventurer’s Guild here, they were naturally very surprised. However, when she told them that she just looked young but was a high elf who had lived for hundreds of years, they were quite easily convinced.
“It’s more convenient that way.”
『Shouldn’t Master do the same?』
(I firmly refuse.)
We then went inside without waiting in line and head to a certain building with the guidance of Meltera.
“What is this place?”
“It’s a newspaper company.”
“……Newspaper company?”
I tilt my head at the unfamiliar words.
“A newspaper is a periodical printed publication that contains the latest political trends, events, or unusual information.”
“Oh, something like that.”
“This newspaper company, Arcelal Journal, is the forerunner of such newspapers. The company sends reporters that handles information from all over the world. That’s why there is such a company in other countries as well.”
Fana muttered,
“Speaking of which, someone was reading it at the Adventurer’s Guild in Vegaltia.”
“That flimsy piece of paper!?”
Anje nods in response. Many adventurers travel around the world. Apparently, they sell newspapers to adventurer guilds as well.
“Have you read it Oneechan? What was in them?”
“……I haven’t read it. I don’t even feel like reading.”
“Me too…… it’s just full of words after all!”
Even though it is being sold, it seems that only few adventurers read it.
