I arrived at the royal capital .
　I thought it would be bad to enter the capital while flying, so I landed at a place a little far from the gate, and from there I moved on foot.
　The size of the city is a little larger than Hleipara, but there does not seem to be that much difference.
　The atmosphere of the city seems to be less adventurous than that of Freypara.
　There are many brick and stone houses standing in a row.
　There is a canal running through the city and it's very gorgeous.

I didn't expect to get there in a day. ....... But my body is tired.

　Lal stretched out and said.

"Well, Ral has been on my back the whole time. It's not easy being in the same position for a long time.

Yeah, but it does cut down on travel time quite a bit. Thanks, Revell.

You're welcome. You should get some rest today.

I'll let you do that: ....... And Revell hasn't got a place to stay or anything, right?

Yeah, sure. ...... Could you possibly prepare it for me?

I owe you for bringing me to King's Landing. There are a few spare rooms in the Chamber of Commerce building that you can use.

'Thank God!　...... But we've had these conversations before . I think it was at Weminia, right?

　Weminia is owned by Kurt's parents.
　It was in Weminia that Kurt and Ral joined forces with one of my most memorable cities.

That's right. This brings back memories.

'Chamber of Commerce, you have several: ......'

Yeah, well.

　I went to Ral's Trading Company and took out the items in the designated warehouse.
　Then I had dinner with Lal.
　We talked about many things today, but we never ran out of things to talk about.
　That's how much had happened in two years' time.

　*****

　At night, I work out as I always do, and then I get an hour of sleep.
　Then I wake up early in the morning and go for a run.
　I never missed this routine for two years as I could do it anywhere.
　Running is also a great way to get a feel for the topography of King's Landing.
　If you're so inclined, you can use your skills to grasp it in an instant, but I prefer to see it with my own eyes and feel the atmosphere of this place.

''So that's the Greatest Academy?

　A huge wall surrounds the grounds.
　So that wall is behind it is Eiketsu Academy?
　There seem to be many entrances at various points.

But I'm surprised they already took the entrance exams. I wonder how everyone is doing.

　When I left Frapara, my friends had all expressed their intention to enter the Heroic Academy.
　I'm sure you've heard from Lal that they've all taken the entrance exam and are waiting for the results.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find the best way to get your hands on it.

I'm not going to be able to get it right.

　A startled voice came from behind me.
　When I turned around, there stood a pretty girl with white hair and cowlickers sprouting from her head. Her expression was one of astonishment.
　The girl's eyes were wide open and her mouth was covered by her trembling right hand.
　No, no, no. I'm as surprised as you are.
　I never thought we'd see each other again like this.

Hello, Fia.

No, I knew it!　You're Mr. Revell, right? ......!

　A drop fell from Fia's eyes.

'I'm so happy. I've been wanting to meet Revell-san for a long time. ......!

　Fia ran out and hugged me vigorously.

Yeah, me too. How are you doing?

　Fear was still petite.
　A pat on the head, right hand gently stroking the head in just the right place.

"Yes, I'm fine.

　With a pout, Fear said.
　Then, suddenly, he pulled away from me.
　The way her face is flushed, I can tell that Fear was running, too.

"Flea going for a run?

What?　Oh, yes!　That's right . . since Mr. Revell has been gone, I've been working hard to make him my goal.

Ha-ha, it's nice to have you as a target. I'm flattered.

Of course I do!　Mr. Revell is like a hero to us, you know.

...... Fea, that's an exaggeration.



That wasn't an exaggeration. But I'm sure Revelle will be modest. Let's say I was out of line.

　Then Fea giggled.

''Speaking of which, did you take the entrance exam, Revell-san?　I was worried because I couldn't find it when I was looking for it, but the fact that we found it like this seems to be a groundless fear.

'Oh, that's the thing: ......'

　It was just in time, so I explained to Fea what we were up to.

'What?　Then we're in a very bad situation right now!

Yeah, that's what it comes down to.

...... Why are you more impatient with me than with Mr. Revell?

I've given it a lot of thought. I have a plan.

Well, if that's what Mr. Revell says, then it's a relief.

"...... Wait a minute. Isn't there too much trust in me?

'What?　Really?

It's been a while since I've been around too, so I don't know much about it, but ...... well, was Fear like this?

Well, don't be so rude. I'm a bit of a grown-up now.

"Yeah, that's a funny joke. You're the man, Feer.

I'll kick your ass.

　Fear's smile conveyed a killing intent.

...... Yes, I'm sorry.

　When I saw Fear for the first time in two years, I couldn't feel any change in her appearance, but I felt that she had somehow grown up.
