192 After Days: Yes, Let'S Go To Sea! (1)
"The ocean. Uh-huh!
It is the sea that spreads before me. It's not just the ocean either. The landscape is set up so that people can enjoy it, while leaving their natural appearance.
In other words, it shows that this is a sandy, private beach set up to bring people together.
"If Princess Anisphere would be so happy to be here, it would have been worth asking her out."
It is Falgana, who is visiting the Kingdom of Palletia as Goodwill Ambassador from the Aylene Empire, who has been speaking to me with a grin that is raising my mood.
Behind it are Uffi and Raini, Ilia, and Gakkun and Navr, and Priscilla in Charne. Everyone looks at the sea of beautiful landscapes with interest.
This is a private beach in the territory of the Aylene Empire. We were leaving the Kingdom of Palletia and stepping into the Aylene Empire.
Why are we in the Aylene Empire? I need to rewind my time just a little bit to talk about it. That was a suggestion from the Empire hung up.
"You want to invite us to the empire and have a goodwill party?
Magic City Anisphere, its city government. It was Falgana that came to my office.
Falgana is staying in Anisphere as a goodwill ambassador to the Aylene Empire. It's for a meeting to receive international students coming from the Empire in the future.
Students, both aristocrats and civilians, will be admitted to the school, which is to be opened in Anisphere, which has genuinely moved as a city. Some of them are going to be international students from the Empire.
Schools operating in the Anisphere also plan to accept technologists who want to learn magic and magic props techniques. I had daily meetings with Falgana to develop that system.
Falgana seems to be busy every day, as well as other contact points with the Empire. It was the content at the beginning that such Falgana had proposed.
"Oh, my brother must be. I've been invited to the Kingdom of Palettia, but my brother cares that we've never been invited."
"I see. I think if we're going to keep our future relationship between the two countries close, we need an opportunity."
"Oh. I've been seeing Her Majesty the Queen of Uphilia, and I plan to make that meeting when I go to the king's capital. Because I'm talking about my brother, I'm sure His Royal Highness Anisphere will say so. I thought I'd talk to you first."
"I don't think it's a problem to go. And Yuffi wouldn't say no."
There were times when the end of the collapse of the Kingdom of Cambus and the completion and operation of the Anisphere were also in a rush, but that was also when a paragraph followed. That's why we're visiting the Aylene Empire, because I don't think it's a problem.
"If you were to invite me to an empire on a boulder, it would be difficult to invite me to a big festival like Birthday. I don't know what to say, but I don't think the empire is as peaceful as this one..."
"Oh, it's... it's national."
"Later my brother said he wanted a chance to discuss it slowly with His Royal Highness Anisphere... he seems to have developed an interest in magic since then, which is a little depressing..."
"Oh... enough to be?
Emperor Lukeheim is somewhat obsessed with me, isn't he? You just won't be forced to take me to the Empire.... maybe.
"So as my brother, I want to invite you to the villa the royal family will visit."
"The villa?
"The empire is vast. I have a villa to stay in during the royal expedition. Among them is a villa maintained to invite guests. I wish I could welcome you there."
"I see... what kind of villa is there, for example?
"Well... if you can be surprised at a villa close to the Kingdom of Palettia, it's the sea"
"Sea!?"
I have raised my voice of surprise against Falgana. As surprising as I am, Falgana turns to his face.
"Oh, it's a private beach that the Empire prides itself on. It's also a base for harvesting seafood resources."
"... that the Empire is successfully exploring the sea?
There is a recognition that this world, the sea, is an area beyond the reach of man. Anyway, there are demons in the sea. Fighting demons in the sea is not the same as dealing with them on land. So much so that they call it suicidal to go offshore by boat.
It is a situation in which the Kingdom of Palletia has repeatedly regressed, albeit with sadness, the exploration of the seaside. And yet in the Empire, you say you've already succeeded in pioneering the ocean? If that's true, I think it's a boulder power.
"Even if you succeed in exploring, you're building a place that was inland and pulling in sea water there. There is no demon damage, but the part that draws sea water inland is fenced to prevent demon intrusion."
"... it's the boulder Aylene Empire and the words of praise that make it happen."
"I don't think the empire is because demons are as active as kingdoms. This one is stampede. It's sooner if you wake up on a decade-long basis. The kingdom that happens more than once a year is unusual."
I don't think that's because the Kingdom of Palettia has spiritual resources in its luxury, but if the country is different, so are the circumstances.
And the sea. Nice, sea. Because this world couldn't possibly be dangerous and enter the sea because there are demons.
"What's that private beach... for example, you can swim?
"At sea...... swimming?
It was Priscilla who refrained as a samurai from showing her a frightened face about what she was saying to my remarks.
In the common sense of this world, it's impossible to go into the ocean and swim. So nothing is strange about what Priscilla said.
In contrast, it is Falgana who is grinning invincibly at my question. He smiles as if he enjoys getting his will or just saying.
"Now it is said that royalty and some aristocracy are on the road, but all are pioneering so that swimming in the sea is widespread among the people as well. Collect seafood resources and also use them as tourist resources to attract people. When people get together, they create vitality and jobs. It's a policy that I originally started for countries and ethnic groups that lived by the sea..."
"Nice! Seawater bath!"
As I grin and swell my chest into my imagination, Priscilla looks at me like she sees a rare beast, and even Falgana looks at me like she's just a little confused.
"I don't know... I thought you were a weird person for better or worse, but His Highness Anisphere has no aversion to swimming in the ocean, does he?
"I'm not familiar with swimming in the Kingdom of Palettia..."
Priscilla tells me in a frightened tone. The Kingdom of Palettia has many meadows, woods, mountains and few places where you can swim, and swimming is not common.
I can only count that I've swimmed in this world, too. After all, this may be drawing a sense of previous life.
But I couldn't say that so I had to laugh vaguely and delude myself.
"The sea...? I do wonder how the empire is being developed."
Holidays, I was on holiday with Uffi back from Anisphere to the King's capital Sara Terrier, as usual.
And it was the destination of the Empire's visit that was mentioned on the subject. The story that I was eating into the sea had also been told by Falgana to Ufi.
Yuffi's reaction was just a little off. I said I was interested but not even enthusiastic.
"And... does Anis want to swim? And at sea?
It was even the end of Priscilla's eyes looking at me like a rare beast she was pointing at me. It's been a long time since I've been able to turn that gaze from Uffi, so I laughed a little.
"Sure, swimming isn't common in this world, but it's pretty fun, huh?
"... it's the ocean, isn't it?
After plenty of free time, Yuffi told me that in such incredible ways.
"Why, it was also a popular game in my previous life!?"
"... Isn't that because the world is different? When it comes to the oceans of this world, it's a horrible place for demons to lurk where humans shouldn't go in, right?
"But that's why you care, isn't it? I wonder how you pioneered the ocean. Then we might be able to do the same thing in the Kingdom of Palettia."
"Seafood resources are in demand. I hope we can establish a way to supply it."
"Then let's make the Empire a place to visit a sea!
"... you have no reason to agree or disagree"
Yufi gave me a bitter smile and agreed with my fervent hope for the sea.
Thus it was decided that the destination of our empire would be a private beach owned by the empire.
"Hey... this is awesome"
I was zero breath of admiration when I saw the private beaches of the Aylene Empire.
The first thought to come is the ocean. It's natural because it's the sea, but it's rare in this world that it's a beach that's maintained after all.
The private beach of the Aylene Empire is shaped like a fan-shaped one, with a watergate as magnificent as a gateway to the sea.
This water gate prevents the intrusion of sea demons, while drawing sea water into artificial beaches that are fan-shaped.
A short distance from the beach is a villa and a large mansion. Factories, residential districts, etc. can be seen on the opposite side across the sea of the mansion located at the edge of the fan.
I think this is the landscape for the development of the sea of the Aylene Empire. This is a lot to see.
"The landscape is good, and if this is raised as a tourist destination, people will get together, right?
"Do you really think so?
It was gagging to say something surprisingly to my soliloquy. Gakun seemed to be staring at the sea somewhere restless.
"I'm not used to swimming in the ocean or being a freak like Ennis on a boulder."
"Say That Far!?"
"... I agree with Gark on the boulder, too"
"... sorry, me too"
As I agree with Gark, Navre and Charne are also shaking their necks left and right to expose their denials. Priscilla is nodding deeply over and over again at the reaction of her colleagues.
They followed me as a member and escort and caretaker of the Magic Arts Bureau, but when I told them that the destination was the Empire's private beach, everyone just reacted like this.
Note that Tilty and Tomas, who showed no interest in the expedition, have left a message at Anisphere. When those two went to see the ocean, did you go crazy? I've seen it with my eyes like that.
"I do know you're scared of the ocean... see, look at that. Isn't there something so dangerous about it because it's so well maintained? It's not common to swim and play in the Kingdom of Palettia, but don't you think we should have fun because it's not common?
"Yeah...?
"Why did you get it all together!? I hate it so much!?"
They show no interest in the fact that the cute men they rely on always swim and play in the ocean. On the other hand, are you sure you're okay? All I'm saying is, suspicious ghosts just recruit.
The guards of the Kingsguard Trees, who followed them as Yufi's escorts, also have a similar face to Gakuns.
"Humph......! Then I have to teach you how to play the ocean......!
"... that's crazy. Even the imperial people burn their enthusiasm so far into the sea is about some enthusiasts..."
Seeing me burning my covert ambitions with melameras, I never realized Falgana was whining about that.
