The checks on the Kingdom of Cerroa side were strict, but those on the Shoro Kingdom side were easy.
This was probably true, since they were accompanied by the captain of the 3rd Company of the Kingsguard of their own country.
Having safely passed through the barrier on the Shoro side, the group continued on its way for about 5 minutes.
There was an unusual town in front of us. It was Bamm, a border town on the Shoro side.
Reinhardt got off the carriage just before the town. Jin got off the carriage as well.
Reinhardt held out his hand to Jin,
"Welcome to the Kingdom of Shoro," he said.
He said, "Welcome to the Shoro Kingdom. He seemed to remember that Jin had once said, "Welcome to Kunlun Island.
"Greetings, Reinhard."
Jin shook his hand again, and both of them burst out laughing.
The sky of the Shoro Kingdom was clear and blue.

"...... cliff collapse?
The place is Doppa village. It is a village of about 20 houses, located between Charles town and Toka village, and serves as a rest and supply base on the road with another village, Lac Noe.
A peddler's wagon was stuck.
About 5 kilometers from there, a cliff collapsed and rocks piled up to block the narrow passage, making it impassable.
Although there was some bottleneck on the road at that point, there had been no cliff collapse in the past several years, or even a decade or so.
However, it cannot be helped that it has now happened.
"When will the road be opened?"
I asked a soldier who had been dispatched to monitor civilian access to the area to prevent a second disaster,
"I don't know. We don't have enough manpower to remove that much rock, and there is still a possibility that it will collapse. We can't say for sure how long it will last.
The answer comes back, "I can't say for how long.
"No such ......"
The villages of Lac Noh, Toka, Inad Mine, and Kaina. The time of year is when they need salt and other daily necessities as well as spices, cloths, and clothes.
"We can't stay here, let's go back to Charles Town.
"...... I agree, sir."
Roland, the outgoing manager of the Raglan Trading Company, and another rookie merchant are heading back the way they came.
* * * *
The fifth column (quinta) in charge of the town of Charles is Deneb 2. Capella 2 is in Rakham and Spica 1 in Presos. And Deneb 29 was temporarily assigned to Count Walter.
Since these towns were on the road connecting the village of Kaina and Alban, the capital of the Kingdom of Klein, Jin and, of course, the old lord considered them important.
Needless to say, Count Walter is on the Horai Island black list as a person to watch out for.
.
The old man smelled the man-made smell of the cliff collapse when he received the report.
<>.
The cunning Count Walter did not use clear proper nouns even in his meetings and used pronouns such as <> or <>.

I thought about reporting the situation to Jin right away, but I decided that it was not urgent and that it would be better to report it in the evening when I would make a regular call.
Until then, the "Mere Old Man" will take care of the situation and report back with the results.
And if I see his face, I will think about it with a smirk.
<
The old man seems to be growing steadily (black).
I'm back now.
"I'm home."
Lysia Faarheit has finally returned home.
The 3rd Kingsguard, led by her father Niklas, had stayed behind to repair the walls of Tetrada, and she had stayed behind to treat those who had been injured in the accident that occurred during the work.
Half out of a sense of duty, and the other half at the behest of the captain of the rescue knight corps to which Licia belonged.
"Welcome back, Licia. I'm glad to see you are well."
Reddish brown hair, brown eyes. This is Licia's mother, Milia.
"You've been tanned."
She seems a little surprised to see her daughter, who used to be fair-skinned, come back dark.
Licia is 16 years old this year, and she is almost of legal age.
But Licia was not ready for that yet. As a new noble, she has only just begun to gain some confidence after the recent conflict.
"I think I'm good at what I do now," she said. That's why I'm not going to get married yet. And what about my heir?"
Licia is the only daughter. If she marries, there will be no one to take over the house.
"Oh, that's all right. If Licia gives birth to two or more children, we will adopt one of them.
"Mom!"
Licia interrupts her mother's words, which I can't tell if she's being natural or serious, and runs to her room to change.
"......What is this?"
After changing in her room and taking a break, Licia noticed a sword on the side table.
"......My sword? How did the sword I lost in Tetrada end up here?
Licia could not understand it, so she left the room to ask her mother.
"Good, good. I made a pot of tea and thought I'd call you."
Licia showed her mother the sword in her hand,
"But more importantly, this sword! Why is this in our house?"
"What? Oh, that. A woman I don't know left it at our house, saying it was given to her by someone named Machina.
"From a woman? Earl received it?
Earl is a maid who works for the house of Faarheit.
"Yes. She left it there and left without telling us her name.
"So ......"
I was disappointed when I lost my precious sword. But in Tetrada, other knights and soldiers had also lost their swords and armor, so I could not whine.
I was honestly happy to have my sword back, but I couldn't help but wonder why me? Licia can't help but wonder why she is the only one.
"Makina, isn't that the mysterious person who appeared in the kingdom of Egelea?
How did this person know about Licia's sword? One of the possibilities is ......
"Jin-san?"
Jin has some connection with Machina.
(We could have had a chance to talk to him if we hadn't crossed paths.)
Licia was the first to go to the royal castle upon her return to report, where she was told that an honorary magical craftsman of the Kingdom of Egelea named had made a sword and a golem for her.
The person who told me this was Gloria, the vice-captain of the Kingsguard. She was also an instructor, and she showed me the sword he had made for her with a very happy expression on her face.
(But thank goodness. Jin-san, you look well.)
Licia, who had been wondering about Jin after he left Kaina village, felt as if a small thorn in her heart had been removed.
It would be a little later when she would be officially told that Jin had leased the village of Kaina for the next 50 years.
* * * * * *
"Oh, what's this?
The village of Caina, on the banks of the Erme River.
There was a mysterious masonry structure there. If Jin had seen it, he would have immediately recognized it as a stone wall of a Japanese castle.
The old lord had chosen a castle as the residence of Jin as a ruler.
He wanted to build a castle tower, something like Matsumoto Castle or Osaka Castle.
"That's a huge stone. I wonder how they transported it?"
The stone walls, which had been piled up in the middle of the night using a stone stove, stood about eight meters high.
A girl who had come to the river to get a magi stone for her stove found it and informed the village, so all the available people came to see it.
Now, the craftsmen (smith golems) are cutting wood to make pillars. It was not an overnight castle, as the old man thought to himself.
"This, ladies and gentlemen, is the official residence of Jin-sama.
Butler A, who was acting on behalf of Jin in his absence, explained.
The residents, who were already familiar with golems that talked and moved like humans, understood.
"Well, it's a djinn, isn't it?
It is no exaggeration to say that these words show the solid bond between Jin and the residents. However, it is still beyond the bounds of common sense.
Who in the world is Jin-sama?
only Barrow, who is still getting used to the situation, screamed under the clear sky.
