Chapter 216 Beach Opening

After finishing their meal, Haruna and the others went to the place they were told to go and tried to communicate with Adelheit. Theres a large crystal there, and someone who seems to be a technician told them that its ready.

I know this one. Its a magic item that Grandpa made. Its something quite rare.

Is it something like a simple video call? At least, we dont have it at the knight orders headquarters.

Ill apply for it next time.

Ah, Im sorry. I didnt mean to urge you.

No, its actually convenient after all. Its also easy to use. Just replenish the magic power, set the communication destination, and talk. It looks like its ready, so itll be connected if we speak to it.

Hee, its convenient!

Since Wee is the representative hero, it shouldnt be a problem if she just speaks to it now, right?

Thats right. Wee, please do.

Okay. Ah, aah. Can you hear me.? This is Weerel Joshua, the one whos dispatched to Tazarnia.

When Weerel called out through the crystal, a slight noise started to run.

Ohh, Weerel. Its Grandpa

!?

Next, a screen appeared and Josephs face filled the screen. Haruna and Chinatsu were surprised and dumbfounded. The fact that the screen appeared here means that the screen also appeared at Josephs side. Perhaps because of that, Josephs face on the screen is twitching and his mouth is trembling.

Cough. Heroes of Adelheit, can you hear my voice? Its the Mage Prime Minister Joseph.

((He pretends that nothing had happened!?))

Josephs face changed that as if nothing had happened. Probably thanks to his experience in facing against Deris and Nell, his shamelessness and spiritual strength are something you can set as examples.

E-Err. Weve something to report. Weve captured the executive of the Demon Kings army that attacked Tazarnia. Weve interrogated him and succeeded in getting information from him about the enemys base and such. The majority of the enemys main force was defeated, and weve shared the information we got with Tazarnia, so we would like to end this expedition.

I see, thank you for your hard work. Im sure our ally Tazarnia is saved with this.

So, Mage Prime Minister Joseph, weve heard from the hero of Tazarnia that the Hero Alliance has begun. What should we do now?

The news has already come to Adelheit as well. It seems that the alliance of the heroes from the six countries that exist on the continent of Jiba will finally be formed. I would like you to go to the flower country Crocus, which is the designated place. If you use the dragon carriage, you wont be late for the designated date and time. As for the details of the route and place

After receiving the necessary information from Joseph, Haruna and the others decided to head to Crocus, the convening place of the alliance.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gwon!

Gururu!

There, there!

Haruna is rubbing the bellies of Makam and Redon who are lying down. Her appearance is really innocent and she seems to be having fun. However, every time the earth dragons swing their tails, the ground is slammed with a force that if you get close carelessly, you would be smashed and break your bones. The soldiers of Tazarnia, who were entrusted with the dragons and the carriage, keep up their smiles at that charming sight that makes them dont want to approach, but their eyes are not smiling. By the way, Haruna is dodging the tails, so shes safe.

Are you sure? There is still plenty of room in the cabin of the dragon carriage.

We cant bother you that much. Theres still time until the designated day after all. We will go after we clean things up here. Also, there might be a blunder if we are mixed in a place full of girls. My wife will kill me for sure.

Hero Udberg, you sound like a hero with those words just now. Its a really manly and pleasant line. What a smooth talker.

Thats right. As expected of our leader, Hero Udberg. It seems that your awareness of being a hero has finally sprung up.

We are happy for you, Hero Udberg. Ohh, Hero Udberg.

I will go after I tied them as well.

Udbergs three companions are doing a joyful dance while spinning around him. This scene of mid-30 old men crowding is quite something. Chinatsu decided to finish her greeting and prepare for the dragon carriage while diverting her gaze from them.

Haruna~, its fine to interact with the dragons, but its time to prepare for departure.

Oh, its time already? Makam, Redon, the stretching is over!

It was a substitute for stretching, huh. Chinatsu tsukkomi-ed silently in her mind.

Huh? Wheres Wee and Therese-san?

They said that are going to swim in the sea until the last minute. Well, Adelheit is a landlocked country, so they dont have much opportunity to experience the sea.

I see. I used to swim in the triathlon every year, so its not unusual for me.

Japan is an island country after all. But seriously, isnt it rarer to experience triathlon?

Really? I didnt participate in the competition, but we did it as a family vacation. Isnt it something normal?

No, we dont do triathlon on a normal family vacation. Harunas family sure is unusual, huh.

Ehh, we are normal.

It seems that a triathlon is an annual event in the Katsuragi family. It seems to be a good interaction place where everyone participated.

(I thought they went on a trip for three or four days every summer vacation, but they were doing such things, huh.)

Still, they brought souvenirs such as local sweets, so Chinatsu thought they went on a normal trip.

Thats right! We still have plenty of time, so lets swim in the sea!

Whats the matter with you all of a sudden?

I mean, its rare to have this chance in this world, right?

That said, we dont have swimsuits, you know?

Then, we could swim naked

Haruna, as a girl, you shouldnt do that.

No, before that, you sure have the nerve to go into the sea that was filled with poison yesterday.

As a compromise, they gave up swimming and decided to play at the beach. Thereses sandcastle turned out to be just as good as the real thing, Harunas skipping stone jumped beyond the horizon, and Weerel brought a real shark with her. As for Chinatsu, she was watching them with a warm gaze (she gave up doing tsukkomi). Beside her, Makam and Redon were cheerfully running around on the beach.

After enjoying the sea to the fullest, Haruna and the others ride the dragon carriage and head for the country of Crocus, which is in the south of the Jiba continent.
