Trouble
In the end, no events happened that targeted me.
The only things I can do on Eckezachs are training, eating, and sleeping.
I had so much, so much time on my hands.
Most of the functions of the imperial capital were then restored and I was allowed to return to the academy.
The day after permission was granted
I rode the locomotive with Aristes and headed to the school.
"It was such a waste of time."
"I don’t want anything to happen to you."
"Well, I understand how you feel."
However, I want you to understand my feelings.
"But you handled the replica of imperial regalia through training, didn't you?"
"…Well."
"What do you think?"
"I hope there will never be a situation where I have to use it."
"You couldn't handle it?"
"No, I could handle it. No problem."
"Well then…"
"Even though it's a replica, it's too powerful."
Something like this
Once I swing it, I have no choice but to kill the opponent.
I didn't think it was this powerful
"But why did the imperial regalia take that form?”
"The emperor fighting on the front lines is the worst possible situation, after all. They thought of it as a means of attacking from behind the guards, as far back as possible, and in the worst-case scenario, if they were to engage the enemy."
"Why involve the guards, too?"
"That's what imperial martial arts are for."
Attack from a safe distance using soldiers and knights as shields
For that purpose
-We too grow with the sword-
It's as boisterous a word as has been used since before the empire.
"Regalia isn’t something you would use as a weapon in the first place."
"Well, I guess that’s because of the history of the empire."
A history of resisting many inhuman threats
Never let the empire forget the battle.
"Can it block magic?"
"Magic is impossible, as expected, it's transparent."
"What about bullets?"
"It can block rifle bullets, but only if it's a single shot."
However, if it is fired continuously like the Empire's automatic rifles and machine guns, it will be overwhelmed.
Only advanced Temple Knights can cut through such a hail of bullets.
"Can Aristes dodge a hail of bullets?"
"I can handle continuous fire from a handgun, but if it’s a machine gun, I'll be full of holes. I couldn’t even beat an intermediate knight."
"How about the lower-class knights?"
"I say it was 50-50. I kept winning and losing."
"If you can defeat a lower rank, you're good enough as a soldier... What?"
The speed of the locomotive is decreasing
The in-car announcement sounds accordingly.
-Thank you for using our service every time-
-I am sorry-
-Due to a problem with some of the wheels-
-We will stop at the nearest station and perform an inspection-
It looks like it will stop at an unscheduled station.
"I was supposed to go straight to the school."
"If there's trouble, we can't help it."
It would be a big problem if we overdo it and an accident happens.
---
But, but
Apparently, the problem is more serious than I thought.
It seems that the repairs will not be completed no matter how long it takes.
"Prince"
"How is it?"
"It looks like it won't be possible to repair it today, so it looks like we'll have to take a substitute train that's coming now."
"I see, well, it's not a quick trip. Let's take our time and wait at the station."
"Understood"
Apparently, it will take 5 hours for the replacement to arrive.
So let's take a walk around the station.
"That said, it's not like there's anything in particular going on."
"Apparently, they only stop in this station once every five days.''
"Why is there a station like this?"
"It seems there are several villages around."
"Did they make it for those villages?"
The Kingdom of Marguerite probably developed a station around this village and annexed it.
I guess they plan to eventually turn it into a big city.
"It's a horse..."
Aristes whispers as he makes such a prediction.
"If there's nothing here, there's plenty of wild horses to go around… no."
That horse is not a wild horse
It's running with a saddle attached
But no one is on board
"Aristes!"
"Leave it to me."
Aristes immediately ran out
He calmed the horse
Late, I also approached the horse...
"What's this scent?"
"Is it the lingering scent of perfume?"
I remember this smell
It's a smell I've only ever smelled from one person.
"It smells like Eugenia's perfume."
