Chapter 211: One's Way Back
"Julius-sama!"
"At least knock on the wall."
"Ah... excuse me."
"Be careful next time. So what it is?"
A hut simply made of wood near the rubble of the Royal Capital.
Surrounding it were numerous tents made of cloth
Commoners who had lost their homes
The Geldaria Liberation Army is living there.
…………
I'm glad we decided to improvise it with the Geldaria Liberation Army.
But that role was over in a flash.
In the first place, the country of Geldaria collapsed.
The Queen's oppression ruined the royal family's name
No one wants to call this country Geldaria anymore.
"Shisu-sama is in front of the gate."
"Ah... I'm not done with my work."
"Would you like him to come here?"
"I don't mean to be rude. Please do so."
"Understood. I'll apologize."
"Please"
There is a lot of work to do
We have to clean up the royal capital first.
This is the only place in the world where you can clean up the capital.
If it's just me and my companions, it won't end even if it takes a lifetime
Nobles, including Parchem-dono, played an active role here.
It's really helpful
They are working hard on behalf of us who are ignorant of various things
"Good work. Why don't you take a break?"
Looks like Shisu brought me a warm drink.
"I'll do that."
I put weight on my sore back
Even the chair makes a creaking sound.
"Providing a heliograph. It was very helpful."
"Convenient, right?"
"Yeah, it's wonderful to be able to contact someone immediately with that."
Thanks to that, various cases do not fall behind
"Actually, we're thinking of leaving soon."
It's short notice.
"...I see, it's going to get lonely"
"It’s been two months since the battle ended. Mother Sedona is saying there's bothering her."
"Sedona-dono is?"
"The direction of the wind in the sky has changed."
"The direction of the wind? Doesn't it change every day?"
"According to Father, there are certain seasons in the skies far beyond what we know. I don't know about that, though."
"What happens when the wind changes direction?"
"Maybe we'll be swept away to another country before we return to the Royal Capital?"
That would be a problem. That's a problem for us, too.
"Right. Go home, and come back soon and help us."
"You're rough on people."
"That's how much trouble we're in."
"I'll try to make a request to King Berdreich... Um..."
"What?"
"What should Julius-san call this place now?"
"As it is now... Ah, that's right."
I'm in trouble now.
Geldaria is over
So what should we call this place?
And
"King Julius, you can't call it that. It's dignified to call you by a full name."
"It is. Do I have to come up with a reasonably long name?"
"The honorable King of Beginnings. You have to come up with a cool name, like us Edgeworths!"
"Are you proud of your family name?"
"Of course! A name of wisdom and power, with the name of the benevolent dragon!"
"I hear you're the second generation?"
"The first generation has already accomplished great things, so there's no problem."
"...And Shiro-dono?"
"Ah... Father, well, he doesn't like to be seen."
"What's so strange about that?"
"Are you serious?"
Yes, I'm sure.
There's nothing wrong with it.
Why would you do that like your life depended on it?
"Only Mother Wince, Mother Sedona, and Mother Yukikaze have met Father."
"Are you okay with that?"
"I'm fine. I'm not okay, but..."
"What you're saying doesn't make sense, though?"
"Do you think any child wants to know what their parents are doing?"
"Let's just forget about it"
"Let's."
Let's do that.
"What time?"
"Tonight"
"Oi, oi, what can I get for you?"
"It's okay, we'll be back soon. Ah, maybe other nobles and craftsmen."
"Okay. I'll make arrangements to meet them."
"You have to think of a name, too."
That one is going to be the hardest.
