gate.
Demons do crazy things like move troops through gates in one shot, but for humans, it's still a long way off..
Although it is still not capable of moving hundreds of people at once, it does its job well as a means of transportation. Thanks to this, in this mediocre fantasy world, the gate reigns as an absolute means of transportation and means of transportation that can be snorted and chewed up like airplanes and trains..
As it is a movement that allows you to leap through space, it is naturally very expensive..
They say it's because of the management costs and the high cost of creating and maintaining a battery that allows even low-level wizards to open the gate without any problems... Well, let's come. Excluding the initial investment cost, my personal opinion is that it will be much cheaper than the cost of eating a meal..
anyway. It is said that there are ways to connect the gate to the gate on the opposite side and use it completely fixed, or to use it by connecting passages at the right time, like tuning a radio frequency, but the most common gates are of course the latter. It wasn't about dividing the subway lines, it was only natural considering management and maintenance..
Gates like the former are a kind of hotline, so not even a considerable number of nobles use them; they are truly a privilege of the royal family or those equivalent to them. It is said that if you use it without the king's permission, you can be summarily executed for treason, so it is truly bloody..
"This is also the gate we will use today.."
Ragnis, who was strangely nervous unlike when he left the house, spoke while maintaining his calm demeanor as much as possible. Even though she was building up her strength again, the title of Margin would never be an easy position for her, but she was nervous to a degree that was rarely seen before..
Why are you so nervous when you've even been kidnapped? It is impossible to ask, but it is said that her visit to the empire this time has a lot of meaning from her perspective..
In the end, no matter what, she is the margrave at the forefront of the kingdom. It is not just limited to the kingdom, but is also the front line of the war between demons and humans. If the kingdom could endure like this, she had an obligation to go to battle and reclaim her homeland someday with the help of a warrior. For her to visit the empire and show off her own skills, with her magical talents compared to those of her warriors, may or may not be meaningful, but it will be significant in many ways..
Besides, you're a hero, right? If everything goes well, I won't be of much help to you.?
"It's not okay to be too nervous. Take a deep breath."
"It stands out so much?"
"It looks very like a wooden doll. You are more beautiful and majestic than ever before, so relax a little.."
"...Yeah, yeah?"
In the end, the first step to every impression is appearance and behavior, so even if it seems snobbish, I thought that was the only thing I could praise right away, so I told them, and the response was better than I expected..
"okay. At that level, unless there are only beautiful women gathered around the hero, the hero will probably do it too, so there is nothing to worry about...."
"What are you saying, you crazy bastard?!"
-Wow!
Ragnis, who was laughing with a blush on his face, burst into anger that went beyond the point of a straight face and struck his earlobes at lightning speed..
It really, really hurt so badly that I almost cried for a moment, but he seemed so genuinely angry that I couldn't even get angry or refute him, so I just blindly apologized and had no choice but to crouch down..
No, why...why?...?
◈
The carriage, which had become a very, very uncomfortable thorn cushion after my red palm was left on my cheek, ran quickly and arrived at the gate, carrying an angry Ragnis and a crouching me. I wondered if it was hidden somewhere secretly, but it was just being guarded a little more strictly at the gate hall in the center of the capital..
Even though I lived in the capital, I passed by every time, and it was a new feeling to set foot in a place that I had only glanced at once... but I couldn't even show it because I was afraid of Ragnis, who was angry..
When I reached there and got off the carriage, Radnellbandes, whom I had not seen in a long time, greeted me. Even though it had been only a year, the wizard with a huge, warrior-like body was wearing more advanced-looking weapons than I was used to seeing..
"It's been a while! But why is your face like that??"
I guess it wasn't an illusion that I was still tingling. Will it swell later??
"Long time no see, Lord Radnellbandes. This is...it just so happened that."
"...Tsk tsk. I don't know what it is, but I guess I should have been careful."
Radnelbandes, who rolled his eyes at me and Ragnis just twice, clicked his tongue and tapped my shoulder, as if a great battle mage had superior insight that allowed him to guess a situation he had not seen with only a little evidence. At that moment when I feel moved by that touch, as if it was comforting me who was swept up in unfair violence..
Even though there wasn't much of a difference in size, Radnellbandes, who was still taller than me, bowed his head slightly and whispered something in my ear that I had not expected at all..
"If a person is not conscious, the body suffers. Be cautious when dealing with women. You have to be careful again."
"No, didn’t you notice my unfairness and encourage me??"
As tears of joy filled his eyes and he reflexively refuted a surge of resentment, Radnellbandes shook his head without any hesitation..
"I assure you, you have nothing to be upset about. Please keep my words in mind. I don't know what it is, but I'll definitely take the time to think about that situation again later.."
He answered with such firm and determined eyes that I couldn't bear to refute him any further..
her! what the! This body, whose mental age is over 30, has no sense? her! I'll think about it, but it'll never happen..
...There won't be?
"His Majesty the Crown Prince told me to have a good trip. I would like to see you off in person, but since this invitation did not come via the kingdom, it would be difficult to do so for the sake of respect.."
Radnelbandes, who naturally told Ragnis about me, seemed to have a few more stories to tell after that..
Of course, I didn't need to know that much, so I let it go in one ear and out the other. The Empire's intention is obvious from the rough invitation method, but seeing as the message is to do the best we can, I can see that Ragnis has a lot to worry about..
"I wasn't in a hurry earlier so I couldn't even say hello to you properly, Sir.."
While the two were talking, Lenisa, the actual head of security, approached and said hello. I guess he was bothered by the fact that he just said hello and moved on..
"It is natural to prepare the Margrave's bodyguard. Thank you for your patience during this short period of time.."
"The story was relayed, albeit informally. Since you have taken on the role of secretary and security guard, I would like to ask you to take good care of me.."
It is said that he originally served the Levien family, and as expected, he possessed extraordinary manners and loyalty. It may have felt very ambiguous that I, who was like a stone suddenly thrown in, would take on the role of secretary, but I could feel that I completely trusted Ragnis' judgment..
"haha. Don't worry. I have learned something from the House of Ogatorf, and I will not do anything that would be detrimental to the name of the Margrave.."
"Hehehe. It's so reassuring.."
Regardless, it's a good sign that you can start the week on a positive note with colleagues wearing the same uniform..
"Then I will open the gate.."
Radnelbandes and Ragnis, who had concluded their story while briefly strengthening their friendship by saying "haha", had their group stand by according to the manager's instructions. She gestured with her disapproving expression. As I approached her, Ragnis looked at me with her mischievous eyes and asked..
"I won’t be in a hurry by getting on the gate like a vulgar person.?"
At that moment, I almost told him that I had gone to the Demon Territory via the gate just a few days ago. Still, it was a confidential request, but it almost got exposed in an instant..
"I'm more curious about what the Imperial Territory looks like than riding the gate.."
I barely suppressed the tickling in my throat and shrugged my shoulders, pretending like nothing was wrong..
"Well, I'll be riding it at least twice, so I'll be able to see the surroundings for a bit.."
"huh? twice? It's not going in one go.?"
"Such long-distance travel is still impossible with human magic.."
Hoo. I thought it was all-purpose, but there were unexpected limitations. While people were amazed to hear that even demons could not travel such long distances, the manager who fixed the gate coordinates sent a hand signal and the movement began..
Well, it wasn’t a big deal as I had already ridden it once. Because all I had to do was just walk. Just in case, it will take some time for everyone on the carriage to get off and move..
"Ugh fuck."
However, personally, it was not good because my senses were confused again. Considering that other people don't use gates that often in their lives, I don't think it's because they're not particularly used to it, but maybe they're overreacting to magic power..
"I feel like my senses are all distorted.."
"It's not good anywhere?"
"no. I just got a little dizzy."
Arriving somewhere in the unknown imperial territory, while the procession behind me was following me and the next gate was being prepared, I fiddled around to see if I could find some clue about the use of magical power, but there was no significant result..
Unlike the kingdom gate, the imperial gate opened faster, perhaps because it had been prepared in advance, and we were able to get through the next gate before everyone behind us arrived..
The land of the empire that I set foot on for the first time since I was born was much more gorgeous than I had imagined..
