Chapter 349. The purpose is only sightseeing (1) After the wee party.


    The next day, as scheduled, we set out to tour various parts of Kelia.


    Being alone in the capital of Kelia is boring, so I n to visit as many ces as possible.


    Teleport will be used as a means of transportation.


    In the first ce, it would take two months to move purely by carriage. There are risks involved, and in reality, you can''t discuss romance like a carriage trip.


    The role of guide was taken over by the dark elf handmaid, E.


    “I have been guided by Her Majesty the Queen''s orders.”


    “Well, please.”


    “Please take care of me too.”


    Fena and I nodded appropriately to her as she politely bowed once more.


    The reason why she was chosen as a guide was that she served Haru, but she was probably selected because she wasfortable with a familiar face.


    “Arel, where are you going from now on? You didn''t even talk about itst night.


    Will you teach me now?”


    “well? Where shall we go?”


    I pretended to be worried.


    It''s not heartbreaking.


    Originally, when ites to travel, being somewhat irresponsible is fun.


    There is such a thing as taste that determines the destination at that time.


    I still haven''t thought about where I''m going.


    “Are you hiding it again?”


    “What are you hiding?” I never did. It''s real this time.”


    Even though I said no, everyone''s eyes are focused on me, so everyone seems to think I''ve already made a decision.


    Didn''t you really think of anything?


    Originally, when I go on a trip, I’m the type to just book a lodging first and go around without much thought.


    Or go into the house and note out.


    Originally, I was a hotel jukdol.


    If you ask me, what special ns do you have?


    “I heard that Kelia can see various sights in each city as many tribes are united?”


    “Come to think of it, I think the Gagyak tribe talked about that at yesterday’s banquet. Ugh, everyone was distracted from talking about things like that.”


    I told them toe over to their side to visit each other.


    Somehow, there was a sense ofpetition.


    It seems that they are trying to promote arge-scale tourism project by using the scenery that can be seen in the territory of each race.


    That''s because it''s full of things you can''t easily see in a human country.


    Convince goes.


    therefore.


    “What ces are worth visiting, E?”


    Pretending to bring up such a topic, I sneakily tossed it to E.


    Come on, rmend it. be rmended


    “There are several.”


    When I asked, E calmly began to exin.


    “First, there is the home of the elves.”


    Well, when ites to different races, elves are the standard.


    But is it the home of the elves?


    “Hmm, elves are usually the image of living in the forest, but is there something to see’? Well, the natural scenery must be beautiful, right?”


    “It is somewhat different now. After the unification of Kelia, the elven representatives began to promote the urbanization of the forest on arge scale. Thanks to that, the appearance has changed a lot.”


    “Urbanization?”


    Hmmm, something doesn''t match with elves.


    A chic elf in a cold city?


    It''s kind of usible, but somehow ironic.


    “Can’t you imagine?”


    “It may be a prejudice, but elves don’t have much of an image of living in a city.”


    When I said it honestly, E put on a subtle expression.


    I almost feel like I knew it would be like that.


    “It''s called a city, but the feeling is somewhat different from that of humans.”


    “Well, you can see it for yourself. Then what next?”


    “Other than that, there are cities built by races that can fly, including harpies, and cities by races that live onnd, such as dwarves and minotaurs.”


    “Hmm, it feels like something hase together. But E, you know surprisingly well for ady-in-waiting.”


    “Before integration, I was traveling from ce to ce. Thanks to that, I am quite familiar with the geography of each ce.”


    Is that really why E has taken on the role of guide again?


    Come to think of it, she''s a dark elf.


    I know roughly the way the Dark Elves are treated here.


    Well, wouldn''t it be better to pretend not to know the past?


    I pretended not to know anything and moved on to the next topic.


    “Then what next?”


    Still ‘pot!'' and there is no ce for my heart to go.


    There''s nothing driving my soul.


    Lack of temptation.


    “Then the seaside cities inhabited by sirens and mermaids…


    “Is it the sea…?”


    Before I could finish listening to E''s exnation, I suddenly muttered.


    I got excited. something ‘pot!'' I came!


    “That’s fine!”


    “?...”


    Yes?”


    “Let’s go to the sea first!”


    The sun is shining brightly and the temperature is just right.


    It''s a good day to go to the sea.


    As I have never been to a proper sea in this life, I was quite attracted to the sea after a long time.


    port city?


    It''s just a ce where fishy smell and mud wee. The sea I want is not such a ce.


    “It''s finally time to go y on the real beach.”


    “???? yes?”


    “Anyway, let’s go to the sea first! Everyone''s opinion is different? Does anyone want to go somewhere else?”


    For now, only applications are epted.


    I''m sorry, but the answer has already been decided.


    “ocean? Whoops? I think that would be great too!”


    “We are fine wherever we are.


    Yes?”


    “you''re right.”


    Asha and Dia, who had been listening silently, did not object.


    Sei, who alternates with Asha in the driver''s seat, doesn''t particrly express a different opinion.


    It''s a decision.


    Originally, the person who decides first takes the lead.


    You have to drag it for a long time ‘I''m fine anywhere?'' and only errors of decision arise.


    I just prevented such a long agony in advance.


    Decisions are made first!


    Whoever controls the decision controls the trip!


    “It is the sea! Let’s go to the sea first and y!”


    E put on a dazed expression for a moment as the destination was decided so easily for this reason.


    Then, for some reason, he secretly shares his gaze with others.


    ‘Is this person really like this?''


    ‘Yes, it''s cute.''


    Women exchanging strange nces - No, what am I?


    Eventually, having understood something, E nodded.


    “…Then I will guide you.”


    As soon as we left the capital, the wagon carrying us moved to the farthest beach on the map of Kelia using a teleport.


    The scenery outside the carriage changed from a road outside the capital to a beach where the sound of waves could be heard.


    Admiring the smell of the changed air, I looked outside.


    “Oh oh! It is more like the sea than expected!”


    It''s not that ufortable feeling of a port city.


    A truly perfect beach.


    The white sand glistens in the pale blue sea.


    Even I admired that nostalgic wee, albeit slightly.


    “...It''s a beautiful sea.”


    “I see.”


    “It is different from the sea seen in the port city.”


    Other than me, the women were admiring the sight of the beach as well.


    But there must be an ocean in the empire, so I would have admired even Pena.


    “Isn’t there a coastline in the empire too?”


    “It''s not set up like this.


    Because there are many boats catching fish. It wasn''t this clean... Surprisingly, the sea was a pretty ce.”


    It didn''t seem like empty words of admiration.


    As I was admiring the scenery outside the carriage, Seina called me from outside.


    “Looking at Arell-nim is nice, but where do you want to go now?”


    “huh? wait for a sec!”


    Come to think of it, I can''t just look at the sea like this.


    “By the way E, where is the city?”


    “If you continue along the coast, you wille to the city of mermaids and sirens. I will take you there.”


    “A city of mermaids and sirens?”


    Come to think of it, that also bothered me.


    Especially mermaids!


    Mermaids live in the city?


    They don''t even live onnd.


    How did you build the city? Before that, where the hell was the city? No matter how you look at it, the sea is in front of you.


    “You''re not saying the city is in the sea, is it?”


    Even I don''t like it a bit to drag the wagon and dive into the sea.


    In the first ce, this wagon does not have a diving function.


    Of course, that would be a valuable experience, but I don''t think others will like it.


    That''s because it''s disgusting when you get wet in seawater.


    it''s cold too


    You can''t go directly into the sea like this, so if it''s a ce where humans can''t go, let''s just y on the beach here.


    I asked with the intention of suggesting that.


    “it''s okay. Humans can go.”


    “really?”


    “Yes, it is said that it was designed to be possible from the beginning.”


    E confidently assured that humans could go.


    It must be true, since she doesn''t seem like the type to lie or joke, and there''s no reason for that.


    “...But why is the carriage headed for the sea?”


    Pena asked strangely.


    In reality, the wagon was heading for the sea.


    “It''s because the direction the city is is over there.”


    “At sea? Are you saying it''s not in the sea?”


    “yes.”


    E spoke calmly.


    “The city is on the sea.”


    We immediately understood its meaning as soon as we arrived in the city.


    No, I had to understand.


    That''s because the carriage started running over the sea.


    After running for a while, I finally saw the true face of the city.


    There really is a city on the sea.


    It is a city built on the sea.


    ....What kind of city are you building over there?


    I was speechless for a moment.


    It''s a sea city.


    I wondered how he created a city where a race that can only live in the sea and a race that can''t live in the sea coexist.


    They used a very unexpected method.


    It is a city that can live on water.


    A city withoutnd itself.


    Not only our wagon, but also other wagons are running on the sea.


    Also, looking at the side of the road, I could see people of different races living onnd passing by while walking on the sea.


    “Wow… Arel! look down there! under! It''s down there too!”


    The ce Pena pointed to was beneath the surface of the sea they were passing through.


    Beneath it, mermaids and other species that live underwater are migrating as well.


    above and below.


    It was as if they were divided into two worlds.


    “Above and under the sea... Are you living both lives at the same time?”


    I even thought it was quite surprising.


    How do you reconcile it in this way?


    “Sleep itself is enchanted. It seems to be able to walk normally and move underwater.”


    Dia sensed the mana flowing on the surface of the water and exined as if she understood something.


    She, too, is a bit surprised.


    “Amazing.”


    As she noticed, the water surface that filled the city allows all those who cannot live underwater, including humans, to live on the surface of the water.


    Not only living things, but also buildings float on the surface of the water.


    As a test, I dropped a stone, and somehow it rolled around on the surface of the water.


    It feels no different from an ordinary stone floor.


    He watched it carefully and tilted his head.


    “Did youunch it with flight magic? Stability is not normal for that.”


    “I heard that it''s a little different... I don''t know the details because I''m not directly involved in this.”


    E evaded Dia''s questioning like that.


    It''s confidential, so that means you can''t teach it.


    The way I see it, it''s not like flying magic.


    It is literally a magic that pushes all objects except mermaids out of the water.


    Surely this way everyone can live in this city.


    Mermaids can live too.


    If you look closely under the water, you can see the houses where the mermaids live.


    In other words, it means that outside the water is half of this city.


    ‘I managed toe up with this method.''


    It is not an easy method.


    Above all, the difficulty would not be normal because you would have to cast magic on the entire city and on the road leading to it.


    Above all, a city like this would suffer a fatal blow if the magic that maintained it was destroyed... There was


    no way he couldn''t have considered that.


    Could it be that the magic skills of the different races are far superior to humans?
