The Adventures of Magical Princess Makina 28

Chapter 28 An Anomaly in King's Landing

The “Royal City” Exists at the end of the forest of magical beasts.

Britannica is a large country located in the center of a vast island. Its capita. Rondomel. Is also a walled city covered by a high wall in a circular shape.

The dark wizard has turned the entire nation into crysta. And has also inscribed the lewd spell Gerweth on herself. And her loyal retaine. Tet Crom.

With only a few clues to guide them on their journey to restore their homelan. The girls learn of the existence of the ancient magic of Gerwe. And set out for the library in the royal capital to find out more about it.

And now.

The first thing to do is to get a good look at the city and see what it has to offer. The tw. Who were supposed to take a shortcut but ended up taking the long way aroun. Still – at last – couldn't see the full extent of the walled city in all its glor……..

“…… This is……!”

What the hell kind of……

After passing through the forest road. Originall. A wide meadow would have welcomed travelers and peddler. And the famous white walls of the town would have been a sightseeing spot.

However. What filled the two Makina and Tet's vision was neither the deep green earth nor the solid walls of the castle. And not even the line of entrants leading to the gates of the castle.

There it was – just a lon. Long forest of “Big trees” That reached higher than the city walls into the sky.

I'd never even heard of a forest like this in Londomeln……

“…… Map is not wrong. The road is right. There must be a royal city ahead……”

The forest is so thickly overgrown with large trees that no light can penetrate. Makina stares into the depths of the fores. Where deep darkness awaits even in the daytime.

Tet compared the map with the surrounding terrain again and agai. And was surprised at how different it looke. But he still had no choice but to recognize the scene in front of him as Rondomeln territory.

From behind these two bewildered peopl. Also through the forest path. A gray-haired man with an old horse pulling his luggage called out to them.

“…… You guys are adventurer. Right?”

They turn around and bail out the old man.

He seemed to be a peddle. And he was carrying a full load of vegetables and bamboo baskets that he would be selling in the royal capital.

From the look of yo. You don't know shit.

Yea. Yeah……

'Gentlema. What is this……? I was told that the south road of Rondomel. The royal cit. Is a beautiful place where wide meadows and white walls greet…… You.”

I'm sure. There's no doubt. The most important thing to remember is that you can't just go to the store and ask for a discount on a new car.

“Half a year……”

–About half a year ago. That coincides with the time when that black hooded wizard appeared in his homeland of Grandel.

That's not all. In Well. The city of fire and wate. Skilled adventurers began to be captured by the Poison Fro. A frog demon with the mark of “Gerweth”.

It's time for Kortr. Who now works at the volcan. To meet a mysterious mage and run amok in King's Landing as a rapist.

And in the forest of magical beast. The travelers began to fall prey to Nunna – and so on.

“…… Te. This is……”

I guess I need to check out…….”

In any cas. You have to enter the country through the forest that surrounds the royal city.

But the old man convinced Makina and the others that it was a place where adventurers and even soldiers of the kingdom who had taken on the same challenge would run bac. Or never come back.

But it takes a lot of time to get to the only entrance and exi. The north gat. Where the occurrence of large trees is relatively rare. The city of Londomeln is such a vast area of land.

They thanked the worried old peddle. And without hesitatio. They walked towards the bi. Spooky tree.

“…… But princess.”

When called s. Makina turns to Tet. She wonders if it's still settled whether it's a term of endearment or an honorific.

But this statement was made as a 'vassal' of the Tet.

“It is the shortest way…… For us to solve the mystery of this forest. But the Kingdom of Britannica is an emerging nation with a short histor. A military aggressor state that has grown bloated…… Through repeated foreign wars. The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the most out of your money is to use it for your own personal gain. We can't help them…….”

Unlike Grande. Which boasts 600 years of history and traditio. Britannica was a newcome. Founded less than 50 years ago. Howeve. With its harsh policies and military migh. It rose to become the most powerful nation on the island in just a few decades.

It was only natural that such a powerful nation would press Grande. With its small territor. To become a vassal state. Makina and Tet also know that they have been conducting diplomacy with a haughty attitude. They even thought that 'that day' when they lost their country was a surprise attack by wizards belonging to Britannica.

But–

'…… But the people of Londomeln are blameless. And all the people who live in this country. Alread. Strange things are happening all over the place. If Grandel is not the end of i. If the tragedy of that day is repeated……. If that man is still up to somethin. It is up to us to stop him……!”

To generate such a large forest of trees in just half a year is no ordinary technique. Without a doub. The level of Britannica's intentions and control has long since been exceeded. That man in the black hood was probably not a Britannica court mage.

If left unchecke. More countries might follow Grandel's exampl. And more people might be poisoned.

The eyes of the exiled princess are not lost. I will reveal the truth about the ma. Free all the peopl. And save Grandel. I will protect everyone but Grandel.

Seeing such a determined expression on her fac. Tetteh did not make any further suggestions.

“…… Then let us go!　I will follow you wherever your path takes you……!”

Yea……!　Here we g. Mr. Tett……!”

The breath of a ferocious beast that blows from the depths of darkness. The strong wind that makes you feel so.

He put his witch stick back on deeply and gripped his magic wand.

His black hair and black cloak fluttere. And he put his hand on the hilt of his sword.

The princess and her knight set out for the south gate of the royal city and stepped into the dark forest of the great tree.

— Right after that.

“…… Tee………… Tee…….”

“……?　What is i……?”

“…… Please stand dow. Princess…… Somethin. Come……!”

Tet stepped forward and drew her sword. Makina held her staff behind her. The usual formatio. With roles divided between the vanguard and the rear guard so that they can react to each other at any time.

The one who tried to intercept them in that formation – was a bo. Running with teary eyes from the depths of the dark forest.

“…… Help me!　They're killing me!

!

What the……!

His age is probably not that different from Makina and Tet. He is dressed like an adventurer and has a dagger at his waist.

But that black-haired boy gave off the vibe of a village boy anywher. Except for the part where part of his bangs were tufts of red hair. Combined with the appearance of running away with a…… Sad expression.

“Fubeeeee!”

He stumbles over a tree root. Unable to catch himself properl. The boy lost his balance and fell head first to the ground–sliding straight to Makina's feet.

O. Polka dots!　Polka dots!”

Aah!

Makina quickly held her skirt to hide its 'contents' and her face turned red.

In the face of Makin. Tet didn't hesitate to point the tip of his sword at the boy who had head-slided past him.

Yo……!

Whoa!　Wai. Wai. Wait!　Don't kill me!　That was force majeure!

The boy is hunched over by Tet's killing spirit and begs for his life with his palms facing him.

The situation is slightly differen. But it's a scene Makina thought she'd seen befor. And then another person came running up from deep in the forest.

He. Sage!　Where are you going? !　It's not just a few big spiders!　You're such a wretched little…”

“O. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. N. No!　Thank Go. You're saved……”

“What the…

The girl with a thick book under her arm – a blond. Twin-taile. Mini-skirted adventurer called “Sahya” – Was about to run up to a boy called “Sage” Who was about to be slain by Tet. The girl with the thick book under her arm – an adventurer in a mini-skirt with twin-tail hair called “Saya” – Was about to run up to a boy called “Sage” Who was about to be cut to death by Tet.

–She also got her foot caught in the thick roots of the big tre. And she jumped towards Sage.

Whoa!

Makina and Tet gawked and watched the gagging series of falls.

Sahya rubbed her forehead (forehead) where she had bumped i. “Ita……” – She quickly looked up at the strange feeling she felt from her 'bottom'.

Hmm?

“Uhehe……. Soft…….”

Softly. Sage jumped into his own hand. Enjoying the feel of the two lush mounds.

“なっ……！”

Of cours. Sahya's face turned red and her golden eyes hung up – she instantly stood up and buzzed Sage in the face with a thick grimoire.

What are you doing?　You pervert!

“Ghhhhh!　O. You're the one who jumped in!”

It's like a comedy or a comic show. I can't remember where I've seen it befor. But I can't remember it specificall. And I feel a little old-fashioned.

Makina and Tet looked at each other and consulted each other's eye. “What should we do……Colle……?
