Promise
Unfortunately, there's no one here who knows the details of the Kingdom of Onolgo.
Because it's too far from Berdereich
"Well, I'm grateful for what little information that soldier has."
If one asks me what good it does.
It's of no use though
"You can see some buildings."
Wince looks down from the airship to the ground.
There were many buildings there, but all of them were crumbling ruins.
The airship continues on level ground.
"Shiro, isn't there something strange there?"
Yukikaze points a little ahead
There was a small amount of bare soil.
"This is… is it a field?"
Plants grow regularly on the vast flat land
"The soldiers will standby in the sky. Yukikaze, please take command."
"Three of you will go?"
"Yeah"
Me, Wince, and Sedona jump off the airship to check it out.
-----------
"It's well taken care of... it's better than the Empire's."
There are no weeds in the field
The radius alone is within a range of several kilometers
"I don't see a scratch on the crops at all. Are they pulling everything out by hand?"
"This is lupa, right?"
It is a vegetable with a unique smell.
As Sedona said, this is the lupa I ate on the locomotive a while ago. a carrot-like vegetable
"There's gomoto over there, and here's namo."
All of them are root vegetables
Gomoto is like a radish
Namo is like a sweet potato
"Father! There's a sign over here!"
A small wooden board was placed on the ground where Sedona pointed.
"It's a character I've never seen before."
"Would the wyverns know anything about this?"
I was distraught when I saw the letters
"Shiro-san? Are you okay?"
"Ah, yeah... I'm okay... I'm okay."
My heart beats a little.
"Stop!"
Immediately after that, a strange voice echoes from behind.
"Don't, move! Move and I will kill you!"
I guess I lost my cool and didn't notice that someone was coming.
The three of us raised our hands and turned around.
"I said, don't move!"
The other party was holding a bow
But what surprised me more than the bow was its owner.
"Human! Why are you here? Human! All dead!"
Dark green skin
Hairless body
Small body
Bulging lower abdomen
Large nose disproportionate to the face
There is no doubt about it.
"Goblin...?"
The goblin react to those words.
"No! We are different! Goblin, but not!"
"Then what do I call you?"
"Lola's family! We're all different from goblin! We're Lola's people!"
The goblin who calls itself Lola's family becomes more aggressive.
Sedona and Wince are about to draw their swords
"The people are dead! The human's gone! Where are you from!"
"We came from across the sea."
"Huh? Haa!"
I directed my chin to the airship.
The goblin was surprised and started to get agitated.
"What's that!"
"It's an airship."
"Is that a flying machine? That's a flying machine!"
"Ah, no, wrong, wrong. Airship."
"Airship?"
"Yes, an airship."
"I see, airship, I'll remember it!"
"Now I want to ask a question."
"What is it?"
I look at the signboard on the ground and ask the goblin.
"Carrot"
The word written on the sign.
Just saying the word [carrot] startles the goblin.
"It's supposed to be called Lupa. Why is it written as Carrot?"
"You can read Lola's words!"
"A little bit. It's English, isn't it?"
It's from Earth's knowledge.
One of the languages, English
"I'll tell you first, but I don't know the English language very well. I'm familiar with the Japanese language, though."
"Lola's hometown, English country.''
A country?
I can't say what country it is, because I have no knowledge of it.
But English certainly exists in my memory from Earth.
Then the true identity of that Lola is confirmed.
"I may be from the same place as Lola."
"……"
The goblin thinks.
"And for the record, I have no intention of attacking you."
"...But, have weapons."
"We will not attack you. I promise."
"Promise, Lola, important word left behind."
"I see, I want to meet that person named Lola."
"No, can't meet Lola"
"Why?"
"Human already dead, Lola murdered."
"……I see."
"But important family, I'll let you meet."
"Are you sure?"
"Promise, important, don't attack, promise!"
"I understand."
