We reached the continent through the sea
And as we continued to walk across the land, I saw something in the distance.
"Tenrei, is that a city?"
"Why are you asking me?"
No, because she seems to have the most knowledge out of all of us.
However, it seems like Tenrei has never seen it before.
"Shiro, Tenrei, I can't confirm the mass of that thing."
Yukikaze answered instead.
"If you say it has no mass, does that mean it doesn't physically exist?"
"Probably. The airship's reactor is going to overheat, so we're going to land. Want to scout it out?"
"That's right. How long does it take to cool down?"
"It'll be cold in an hour."
――――
Because of that, Wince and I decided to approach the mysterious object.
"This is a cityscape after all, right?"
The city that spreads out is like the one you often see in the Empire.
But strangely enough, all the structures
"What kind of analogy should I use? Is it a wireframe?"
"It was a computer from about 20 years ago... you could say it was similar to that, vector scan."
The city there was a phantom city that didn't really exist.
A building made entirely of lines of light
And people live
They don't notice us at all and even if they come into contact with us,
they slip through us.
And all such people are also beings whose outlines are composed of lines of light.
"There's nothing but barren land outside the city. Wince, do you think this is the only place?"
"Since it’s located in such a half-assed location, there must be plenty of other places, right?"
I guess so
But I wonder what it is, I've seen this streetscape somewhere before.
I've seen a city like this before somewhere...
I suddenly had a doubt and asked Yukikaze using the communicator.
"Yukikaze, what are the coordinates here?"
-Why suddenly? -
"Where in our world are we now?"
-? ...! ...Wait a minute, I'll check it out now!-
Yukikaze also noticed
"Shiro-san?"
"This is the Holy Kingdom..."
"Eh?"
"There were probably several cities in the Holy Kingdom that had a long history. Places that were there before the collapse of the continent."
This is where I sheltered Tyler.
It is the same place where the new King Marguerite, Olasha Marguerite, was born.
"If I didn't remember Olasha, I wouldn't have remembered it."
-It was just as Shiro expected. This is right below the Holy Kingdom.
"Yukikaze, I'll be right back, just a quick detour."
-Where are you going?-
"Anywhere directly behind the empire."
