Chapter 3-Magic airship and guild dispatchers

(TL:By Rafael)

"Oh Yuki ......"(Rain)

"Rain, calm down."(Yuki)

Rain, who is usually modest, pulls my sleeve with a look of excitement.

It's not surprising. For her, a magic tool artifact freak, this thing in front of her eyes must be a treasure she has dreamed of and longed for.

───【Magic Flying Sailing Ship Forneia】.

It is one of the most important magical tool artifacts of the Kingdom of Welmeria, and is one of only three large airships in the world that can be manned.

"Wow,......, it's amazing."(Marina)

"I'm getting nervous."(Nene)

Marina and Nene also looked up and reacted in their own way.

"Hey Sensei, It must be a lie that something like this could fly up into the sky."(Silk)

"We all saw the landing."(Yuki)

"No, we must have seen it wrong. How do you explain something this big flying up ...... that high in the sky?"(Silk)

"It floats up and sails on a magical sail mana sail that converts the high density magic on the earth's vein ley lines into propulsion?"(Yuki)

There are many mysteries about this giant magical tool artifact, but research is underway.

First of all, it is not the kind of thing that can fly anywhere.

It can only navigate on the pathways of magic power ...... that stretch around the world, and the takeoff and landing points are limited.

For example, we can only descend to a watery place on the ley line, such as Lake Ordan, where we are now.

Because of these characteristics, it is a little less easy.

But you know what?

You may or may not have the opportunity to board one in your lifetime.

It is used mainly as a means of transportation and demonstration for royalty and other important figures on outings to other countries, or when inviting state guests.

Ordinary adventurers like us don't get many chances to even see them.

"Sir Ferdio, how are you?"(??)

A familiar voice calls from behind me as I look up at the magic airship Forneia.

"Sir Viscount Boardman!"(Yuki)

"Haha, you don't need to say "sir" You're a labyrinthine count now, too."(Viscount)

"I can't get used to it, ....."(Yuki)

The Viscount Boardman also returns my wry smile.

"What, you can think of it as a casual relationship with me."(Viscount)

"Yes, and ...... that was necessary."(Yuki)

The destination is Salmutaria, a foreign land where the male-dominated feudal system prevails.

The first thing to do is to make sure that my family name, Ferdio, has meaning in order to keep my all-female friends out of trouble.

The adventurers who come to Salmutaria are the kingdom's heroes, "Lord Ferdio, Count of the Labyrinth," and all women who wear his crest are his property.

This was the King's idea......

For this reason, my friends wear the "four-leaf white clover design" given to them by the king in the places they desire.

It was not surprising that the party symbol that Marina had suggested earlier was now attached to the clover.

And even if I had not, I had already been approved as a "hero" at one time, so it was just a matter of whether it was too early or too late, and they came to the conclusion that "the timing is good, so now is the time to do it."

It seems that our king is much more frank and appropriate than I had expected.

"But the king has decided to play the game, hasn't he?"(Viscount)

"Yes, he did."(Yuki)

"A game? What do you mean?"(Rain)

Rain nodded his head next to me.

"I think it's a bit of a gamble for the king to be a part of Prince Mastoma's proposal."(Viscount)

"Is that so?"(Yuki)

" If another man were to become king, it would not look good, would it?"(Viscount)

But when he becomes the next king of Salmutaria, he will be owed quite a bit here.

And Prince Mastoma is a brilliant and reasonable man.

He will surely repay his debt in some way.

And that would be a great development opportunity for both countries.

......That thought makes me a little sick to my stomach.

We can't afford to fail this time, even in the unlikely event that we, as the actual operation team, fail.

"It's been a long time since I've been to Salmutaria, I'm excited about the new discoveries we are going to make."(Viscount)

Perhaps sensing my nervousness, Viscount Boardman changed the subject.

"I see,  I guess that's true, because as the land changes, so does the way of adventure."(Yuki)

"That's right. The adventurer community has changed dramatically, especially since "that thing" was put to practical use. My research has to start all over again."(Viscount)

The Viscount Boardman's gaze was on a magical tool artifact for delivery equipment that was slowly being transported by levitation magic to the [magic flying sailing ship Forneia].

Installing it is one of the objectives of this project.

Viscount Boardman will accompany us to adjust the installation of the artifact.

"I need to spend some time and effort to adjust it, don't I?"(Viscount)

'If you want, I can help too. I'm an alchemist by trade."(Yuki)

"That's very helpful. I'll be relying on Sir Ferdio, since he can coordinate at the field level as well."(Viscount)

"I'd like to touch it too. I want to touch it, too."(Rain)

"Oh, come on, Rain-san. It's just  your cup of tea, right ......?"(Viscount)

"I won't bother you. No?"(Rain)

"No, of course not. I'll ask  Rain-san to do the same. I was surprised at how perceptive you were last time."(Viscount)

Viscount Boardman's approval makes Rain smile broadly.

She really is too much of a magic tool artifact freak.

And Silk. We're about to board, so please don't grab me by the back.

"Hey, Yuki!"(Benwood)

"Hmm?"(Yuki)

I heard Benwood's voice as I was carrying the luggage.

I heard he wasn't coming to see me off.

"What's up, Benwood?"(Yuki)

"What's up? What's the matter with you?"(Benwood)

On either side of the laughing Benwood were Jamie, with whom I had exchanged greetings a few days earlier, and Nibelung, who was carrying a small backpack.

Now, what's this all about?

'What, you didn't hear? We're the ones from the Adventurers' Guild! that will be accompanying you."(Jamie)

"What?"(Yuki)

Behind my stunned back, a bugle sounded loudly to inform me that the loading was complete.

TL Note- A new adventure begins....
