Crown Prince
Honest story
There are few people who evaluate me as a crown prince.
I am aware
As the next emperor, I'm far too selfish.
But that's who I am.
If my father, Emperor Giran, and my sensei, Dragon Shiro, decide that I am not worthy of being emperor, I will humbly accept that decision.
There is nothing wrong with being an adventurer in a peaceful empire.
But let me dare to say it here.
The reason why I have become such a free person is also the responsibility of sensei in front of me.
"For the time being, I think I was able to establish a certain level of friendship with [Lola’s family]."
All alone, he went towards the goblin's nest.
According to sensei
The western side of this continent is where the kingdom of Onolgo, the land of humans, used to be.
Goblins invaded to avenge Lola's death.
During this time, it was caught up in the continental collapse and the kingdom collapsed.
All that remains now are ruins.
"It is said that even though it is in ruins, it has a roof over it and is sturdy. Lola's family uses it as a place to sleep when they go fishing."
----------
And so, while living in the ruins, we begin inspecting the 27 airships.
"Yukikaze-sensei. How is it?"
One of my sensei, Yukikaze-sensei, looks like she's having a hard time doing calculations.
"The hull is falling apart."
"Eh?"
No way?
It's just the wind.
"The metal parts are corroding. If you heat it up and beat it, it'll be all right, but we'll have to take it all apart when we get back."
"No, no, it was a gust of wind over the ocean, so it probably has salt in it, but... is it really that bad?"
"That wind must be different from normal winds."
Yukikaze-sensei strokes the disassembled iron plate with her fingers.
"Look."
There was a little bit of red sand stuck to the fingertips she showed me. It's rust
"If we tried to force our way forward like that, we would have ended up at the bottom of the sea.''
"It's not even a joke, is it?"
"The situation is already a joke, though."
This time, she starts to get irritated while looking at a lot of documents.
"How can I report something like, [We couldn't make it to the center♪'] when a lot of people sent us off?"
"Are you going to give up everything and live here?"
"No, there are many things that are still being researched. I can't give up on that."
It seems like the plan is to complete the inspection and maintenance here and then return to the empire.
It will take at least 20 days to complete.
"Uwaa, even the magic cannon's bullets are rusty... this takes a lot of work..."
