92 – travel, cross the line (2).

Upon stepping on the teleport gate and crossing the space, what came out was a cool breeze different from the chill of Rodenov.

Upon arriving at the Marquis of Magnolia, we immediately told the article managing the teleport gate that we had just come on a trip, briefly said our regards to the Marquis of Magnolia, and left immediately.

There was nothing good about staying for a long time. Our purpose was not to cling to the Marquis of Magnolia and be treated, but to enjoy the trip.

“It’s cool here. It feels a little different from Rodeno Fran.”

Adilun’s excited voice was heard right next to him.

“yes.”

As soon as you come out of the Marquis Castle, what you see is a brilliant white city.

The vitality unique to the beach, which was different from that of Enadeim, was conveyed, and the scent of the sea began to waft through my nose.

“Well… … ?”

“what’s the matter?”

“What does it smell like?”

“smell?”

“yes. What should I express… … ?”

“ah.”

Apparently, it was as if Adilon had smelled the sea for the first time. It was worth it. I’ve been living in the north all the time, and I’ve been to inland cities at most, so I’ll be visiting the coastal city of Magnolia for the first time.

“It smells like the sea.”

“The smell of the sea?”

“yes. A smell that can only be smelled in the sea.”

“Something new.”

Maybe it’s because I’m in a new place, seeing Adiluun smile and say that, I started to feel better too.

“where should we go?”

“Well. let’s go anywhere It’s my first time here too.”

“Have you ever been to the sea?”

“Not now, but in the world before time went back, I often stopped by the shore.”

“aha… … . why? Maybe with someone else?”

“No way. Fighting monsters.”

“ah.”

Adilun’s expression stopped momentarily.

“Oh, it’s okay. I won without any damage.”

“hehehe, I was careless for a moment.”

“it’s okay. Things like that happen, too. Let’s go anyway.”

We walked slowly through the white city.

It was a very different atmosphere from Rodenov.

It’s rather static, and not the quiet vitality that people show off cautiously under their eyes, but seeing everyone walking down an unfamiliar street showing off all their vitality while leaving their bodies in the cool sea breeze, it’s like touring another world. It was even an illusion.

“Something feels uplifting. Certainly different from Rodenov… … It makes me feel open.”

Adilune seemed to feel the same way.

“It will. Because people’s way of life changes according to the environment. That’s why I thought I would like to travel. It’s not just about looking at the sea… … You can feel something new when you see the people who live there.”

“yes. I really think so.”

The roadside was lined with people selling seafood with their skin dyed copper.

The smell of fish might be a little unpleasant, but Adilun seemed to enjoy those things as well, so the smile did not disappear from his lips the whole time he was walking down the street.

Maybe it’s because it’s a hot country, so I’m wearing a rather thin outfit. I can feel the eyes of many people on me and Adyllun.

In particular, when the horns on Adirun’s head revealed its presence, people looked at her with a curious expression. Just as we feel new in them, they seemed to feel a sense of wonder watching us.

In the distance, the innocent voice of a child can be heard.

“mom! That sister has horns on her head! It has scales on its cheeks! But it’s so pretty!”

I began to feel the gaze directed towards us more and more in that voice. But we didn’t care and started looking around more.

As we were watching, we could hear the jokes of a lady who came up to us and said she was a unique lady, and some cautiously asked if she was a descendant of the legendary sea dragon.

When he said that he inherited the tradition of the dragon that began in the frozen land in the north, people were frightened and even waved their hands at the sight of him trying to bow.

I heard that it is because of superstition peculiar to sailors who drive ships as much as they live along the sea.

In the eyes of those who prayed to the sea dragon for today’s waterways and prayed that there would not be a storm today, the appearance of Adirun with horns on its head and light scales on parts of its skin, including the cheeks, is like the appearance of a sea dragon. It could have looked like it too.

Anyway, even though I said it wasn’t such a grandiose existence, people prayed to us to catch a big fish on the next voyage or to find a treasure.

“Something is strange. It wasn’t common in Rodenov to be treated as such a sacred being, not just by looking at the monster.”

“hahahaha. so? How, didn’t you say something unpleasant?”

“yes. Because I was curious about those people too. It’s like meeting new people. I think you did well not to identify yourself as a noble.”

“Then what if I get hurt?”

“Whoops. Are we worthy of harm?”

“Looking back, it isn’t. Now, how… … Shall we start with the lodging?”

“First of all, let’s grab a lodging and look at the sea. I want to try something new.”

“yes.”

We went around asking people around to find a hotel with a neat appearance.

Among them, one of the villagers who held Adiluun sacred told us that there was a hotel where high-ranking people who came to rest by the sea often stayed, and we walked straight to the hotel.

Soon after, a large hotel of considerable size began to appear. Indeed, it didn’t seem like a hotel where aristocrats often stayed.

The exterior also looked like a mansion, and it looked quite neat, so we entered the building without hesitation.

“Welcome to. Welcome to the Magnolia Hotel.”

Upon entering the building, the neat interior welcomed us. The waitress looked at me and Adyllun, looked a bit surprised and carefully inquired about our identities, and Adylon revealed to him that he was Rodenov’s successor.

The waitress wide-eyed, and immediately gave us the best room. In the process, there was a minor incident where the manager stubbornly refused to treat us well.

Originally, we had to make a reservation to get the best room, but the Marquis of Magnolia, who bumped into us this morning, said he reserved a room for us just in case.

If you come, there was a command to treat you with the utmost sincerity. I wondered if I should at least repay the Marquis of Magnolia later.

In any case, we made sure not to bother with us and not come to our room as much as possible, and for meals, we were told to bring the dishes provided at the hotel in front of the door at the right time.

Fortunately, they nodded their heads as if they seemed relieved, perhaps feeling that they had less need to care.

The hotel was quite comfortable and spacious, probably because it is a city with a developed tourism industry.

A wide bed and soft blankets covering the bed stood out. Looking out from the terrace, a panoramic view of the vast sea came in at a glance. In the first place, it seemed that all these cases were considered and the building was raised.

I heard that the hotel business started by the Marquis of Magnolia because she wanted to make money through tourism, and it is famous as a resort for nobles.

We simply unpacked the luggage stored in the subspace inside the hotel. After organizing the clothes to change into, we changed into somewhat lighter clothes.

“What do you think?”

Adiluun, who changed into a sky-blue dress, turned around in front of me. Even though she looks like a tomboy, somehow she was so beautiful that I couldn’t take my eyes off her, so I couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

“It’s really pretty.”

“thanks.”

Adilun, with a slight, mischievous eye smile, moved towards the beach with me.

* * *

Leaving the hotel, we headed straight for the coast. I saw the appearance of several rocky islands, and the appearance of the sea began to come into view at a glance.

“Wow… … .”

Adilune opened her eyes wide and smiled innocently like a child looking at the most mysterious thing in the world. The blue sky and the sea spreading out to the horizon below. A refreshing blue color began to fill the field of vision.

I felt overwhelmed just by looking at it.

“Awesome. This is the sea.”

“Do you like it?”

“yes!”

“Then let’s get closer. It would be nice to walk on the sandy beach.”

She nodded at my words and walked along the sandy beach holding my hand.

If you keep looking at the sea while enjoying the touch of the soft sand, you will naturally feel playful.

“yes? what’s the matter?”

“The sea, don’t you want to go in once?”

“It is, but… … Will my clothes get wet?”

“Even though I can dry it with magic anyway.”

“Hey, that’s right.”

“Then shall we go?”

“yes? uh? Wow!”

I picked up Adylune, threw her into the sea, and with a splash, she fell into the sea.

“Pooh, ugh!”

Adilun suddenly started glaring at me, who threw himself away. Gee, was that too much? However, as if that worry was for nothing, she suddenly started laughing at me. It was just enough to see at a glance that he was enjoying the experience itself.

“Ahahahaha!”

Looking at her like that, I thought that taking the sea as a travel destination was the best choice.

when you’re lost in thought

Suddenly, I felt the mana of Adilun entangle me. no way.

I didn’t resist. Just as Adyllune wishes… … Drowned in the sea like her.

“pooh!”

I brushed my hair and spat out a mouth full of water. Then, as expected, I saw her smiling softly and brushing her wet hair. It was so mesmerizing that I couldn’t take my eyes off it.

Seeing her wet white dress lightly shining through it, it was almost a relief that no one else was there because it was in a corner.

“Adilon. Are all your clothes see through?”

“Ah, ah!”

Adilun must have realized this as well, so he quickly wrapped himself in an opaque bubble formed by magic and dried his clothes. Soon after, the figure of the drowned person was gone, and he began to look down at me from the bubble that wrapped himself intact.

“lol. Who’s kidding about that?”

“This, I’ve been through.”

“Ahahahaha.”

That’s how we spent a little more time at the sea and returned to the hotel again with a brief snack. And it was I who said let’s go back to the hotel.

It was because it was more difficult to bear it when I saw her soaked in water, which I had just seen.

Adilun probably knew that intention as well, even though the sun was still up in the middle of the sky, his face was reddened and he nodded.
