Chapter 7: Volume 1 5

"We thank you very much for coming, Prince Allan"

After slipping out of the forest, I and Cecil came to a village near the Country of Spirits.

When I told that I was a prince, the village head, who has a long beard, came to greet me.

Though this world has no records of images of physical features like videos nor photos, the mayor accepted me without asking anything.

"Rumors have come to us"

I was invited to the house of the village head, and given a hot tea. It’s a specialty of this village, and is a delicious tea with a slight sweetness in its astringency.

They also put on baked confections and I was talking with the village head while eating it.

“And, why in our village?”

Cecil then answered the village chief’s question with details.

I see that she stopped for a while, then glanced at me, thinking that I would not be able to explain it properly.

Good grief, though it’s true that I often play with women, I’m not that of a fool you know.

Well, Cecil dared me to think about it, I imagined myself playing with the girls in this village.

She really understand me myself.

“Hmm, that’s a splendid mission.”

“Yes, Allan-sama could possibly change the fate of Algarde. "

"Cecil, you’re exaggerating it too much. ... Mr. Village Chief, we are tired from a long trip. Can you lend us an accommodation?”

“Of course”

“Thank you very much... And although if it does not bother you, can we talk about the Country of Spirits?”

I will try to get some of that precious information in the meantime.

"It’s shameful of us to say this, but even though we live at both of the countries’ borders, we haven’t able to confirm their existence that easily."

"Seriously...?"

Though I have heard that they are mysterious creatures, I have never seen one yet, but to think of it....

"Then how can I enter their country?"

“Permission is needed.”

“How can I get that permission?”

“By sending a petition to the Country of Spirits”

“Petition......”

This one’s guard is hard.

Well , I have to get in close contact with the country anyway.

“Mr. Mayor, have you ever applied for this?”

"I have"

“For what business?”

"Basically, it cannot be entered for reasons such as sightseeing or business. Though if it is on a level of discussion of representatives of the country, it may, probably"

“Got it”

I think that the elves and the spirits are more or less friendly, and the line drawing around them is neat.

No, it may be said that they were able to maintain as allies is because of this.

"Fortunately I’m a prince. That’s enough, right?"

“Perhaps, However......”

“However......?”

"We must notify them with a message beforehand stating our reason properly or it won’t become a thing"

"I see"

I don’t know how it works, but should I write first on paper or something?

"Okay, give me some paper. I’m going to write it"

“Certainly.”

The chief went to the back of the room.

"Allan-sama"

“What happened, Cecil?”

“It seems like it’s even difficult to enter an allied country, contrary to my expectations”

“I don’t know much but, I guess not being able to cross the border easily is normal? Like the Human and Demon Countries”

“Oh, I have also heard that spirits can use magic.”

“If it’s magic, didn’t the elves also have that talent too?”

In this world, spirits can easily use magic, and we have heard that elves and demons have also such abilities.

It seems that human beings cannot basically use it, but it can’t be helped for them, I guess.

“I want to be able to use magic too”

"...... I’m sure you will use it up to no good anyway"

Cecil stared at me with scornful eyes.

“That’s not ... not necessarily”

"Allan-sama really is......"

The mayor came back while we’re having a silly conversation.

“Please write on this paper”

It looks like a notepad.

The design is quite stylish, but it is simple.

“Then, what should we write?”

“Please write seriously”

"......Wa...okay, okay"

Good grief. Still doubting me.

“Um,...... My name is Alain vi Alling. I am on a journey with a mission of uniting countries and form the World Alliance ........”

Over many years, This Algarde has suffered various dangers.

There is no opportunity for people living in Algarde to join hands, even though almost an eternity has passed.

Although I am an still immature, I would like to see the king of spirits in order to realize that dream.

As a token of friendship, I brought the branches of the great tree that exists in the country of the elves.

May we have the chance of meeting you?

"......and done. Is this good enough?"

I have no idea if what I wrote is good, so I cannot help but feel worried.

I guess the rest will rely on how broad the mind of the spirit king.

"Allan-sama, I think you wrote it very well"

“After that we really need to meet and verbally explain.”

“Because you are good at your tongue, you should be fine.”

“... I’m good if it’s a woman"

I’m only good at seducing, so I’m not really certain if this goes well.

However, since I have vowed to go on a trip, I have to do my best.

“Then we’ll keep the letter here. We will get back to you as soon as possible.”

“Oh, thank you”

“We will then guide you to your accommodations”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Thank you once again”

I drank the tea and stood up.

“Oh, yes.”

As he remembered something, the village chief turned to me.

“It’s better if you don’t stroll around of this village in the meantime.”

"......? Why?"

“... There is a cursed child in this village”

“A cursed child ...”

What was that? Why it did suddenly became horror?

It wasn’t only me who got nervous, but also Cecil who was listening to the story.

Her face turned pale and her eyes went tearing.

... Oh right, Cecil is not good at things that are surprisingly scary.

“Oh, I don’t believe in that kind of thing”

” Prince Allan”

“If there is something I will just slash them off. Well, please guide me to the inn.”

“Certainly.”

We went to the inn.

※

“... Why only one bed!”

I arrived at the inn and this is these are the first words Cecil spoke.

“Hey hey, didn’t you say you are okay sleeping with me?”

“If I am next to Allan-sama, then I can’t go to sleep!”

I don’t know if he’s considering my feelings, but the head of the village says that there is only room here.

It would be impossible to go to another room now.

“Cecil, I’m sorry... Let’s have a good night"

When I try to hug her,

“If so, I will sleep outside...!”

She ignored me and head towards the door.

Good grief, It can’t be helped, this fellow.

“I’m kidding, Cecil. If you don’t like it, I will not put my hand on you. Certainly I have something like a wild beast, but I am gentle to girls. “

“I, I know that already, but...”

“And if you still insist, I’ll go out. It’s a bad thing to leave the girl outside while I’m sleeping in the room.”

"N-No way......! Allan-sama is a prince, so how can I do such thing!?"

Then, Cecil gave a big sigh as to what I thought.

“Haaa, I understand. Let’s sleep together today”

“Roger that”

I’ll be having trouble getting my hands off her all night, but let’s endure. It is also because I do not want to be disliked by Cecil.

After all there are plenty of chances to go slap-slap-slap during our journey, so I won’t mind enduring for a day.

After the tidying up and preparation, we went to bed.
