A few days past and they are about to leave.
On these days. They did many things.
They bought clothes and necessities for everyone in the village.
They did things necessary for their adventure.
They even officially registered the Basilisk as a mount. And had a custom-built thing attached to it. That lets them ride it more comfortably.
And sadly. They couldn't have a conversation with the blacksmith Agane. Because he's way too busy.
On the last day before departure tomorrow.
In the inn.
"Excuse me. Where is Takao-san?"
"Oh. An acquaintance of him? He's upstairs. Let us lead you there."
After taking a step upstairs. They arrive in Takao's room. It is currently midnight. But then this is the only time he goes to him.
"Hello?"
"Yes?"
"Ah. Mr. Takao. This person wanted to meet you."
"Hello."
"Oh. What brings you here? Old man?"
"Ah... I'm not that old come on. By the way. We wanted to go with you to that village."
"Wait. You may leave us now."
"Very well."
And he closed the door when Marcus came inside.
"So. You wanted to come? But that place could become a battlefield."
"But we trusted you. We know you won't let anyone with you being harmed right?"
"You're right. Fine then. I will let you go with me."
"Then thank you."
"Yes. Go and meet us at the gate tomorrow morning. Everything is ready here on us. So please hurry a bit tomorrow."
"Yes. Then, I will take my leave."
"Sure."
Tomorrow comes and here they are.
"We're departing now, master. Where are they?"
"I don't know. But they should be here now."
"Oh, there they are."
"Yo! Mello nii-chan!"
"Ah! Lana-chan!"
After their arrival. They then depart. Riding an extremely huge monster.
"Wahh... We're really fast."
"Yeah. Daughter. This is a Giant Basilisk. It could turn you into stone, you know?"
"Really? Dad? Then that is scary."
"But don't worry. Mr. Takao is here after all. He won't let you be turned into stone."
"Is that true? Takao nii-chan?"
"Mm... Lena."
"Yay!"
And she hugged him. While he's sitting Just like everyone.
The monster is at its top speed that seems to be at least 700 kmph.
Takao needs to support himself with magic or be will be blown back. But these people don't even seem to be affected. Even Lena and Lana could still play with each other while the beast is running.
All of then are now laughing and talking. While Takao couldn't move an inch.
The continent seems to be so wide that this road seems to be already a length of a country.
But for all the inhabitants in this world. This seems to be just normal.
Since on what Takao counted on the description of the world map. That there are actually fourteen continents.
Which is absurd.
After a while. They arrived and could see the village from afar.
"That is the village? Takao nii-chan?"
"Yeah."
They finally arrived at the gate.
"What is that monster!? Monster!!!"
Takao then spoke and showed himself.
"Calm down everyone. This won't harm you."
"Ahh... Takao?"
They got down and...
"Welcome back!"
"Martin! Welcome back! How's your stay in the city?"
Jade hugged him really tight. After all. They are friends.
"Ah... Umm... It's quite nice."
"Really?"
"Takao-san? What is that?"
A boy asked him.
"Oh. Please tell the village chief to distribute this to everyone."
"Ah! Yes! Wait. Who are they?"
"Oh. They said they wanted to be here."
"Oh. I see. Then I'll be going."
"Marcus-san. Do you know anyone here?"
"I'm not sure, Takao. But our village is just in that direction which is now destroyed. It is far from here after all."
"I see."
All of them entered the village.
Takao head somewhere and left them alone to go on talking with the villagers.
"Chef-san. Will that still be enough?"
"Oh. You've arrived. Takao-kun. Don't worry. It will be still enough for months. So there's nothing to be so worried about."
"I see. Tell me. Is there a poor village in our vicinity? I heard that one of the villages have been destroyed between the war."
"I don't think so if they would want to be with us since they are not that poor. Well. We became poor because of the barbarians after all. So I don't think they would be with us. But there are three villages around us. But they are a bit far away."
"I see. I think they could become friendly with us. I wanted everyone around us together as one."
"That's kind of a thing you wanted, huh?"
"Haha. I don't want anyone to be destroyed in a pointless war. But I won't take them by force after all."
"What makes you said it was pointless?"
"I heard that both kingdoms simply don't like each other."
"Oh... I think you had a good intention."
"Yes. I will try to put them with us."
"But you might be tired. Rest first."
"No. I never got tired."
"Really?"
"Yes. So don't worry about me."
"Okay. Then I will be going to do my houseworks."
"Yes. I will do my part over there too."
Takao got to the villagers that are gathering at one spot.
"What's wrong?"
"So cute!"
He heard that the villagers are praising the two girls.
*sigh* "Cuteness, huh?"
He then heads to discuss with Mello and Marcus.
"Guys. The problem is what will be your house."
"Yeah. That is what we are talking about just now."
"There seems to be not enough house for us. Master."
"I know. Then. I will create one and upgrade the whole village."
"What?"
At Takao's wave of hand. All the existing houses are then turned into concrete and two more houses are created.
"What the hell!?"
The villagers are dumbfounded of what happened.
But the people inside their houses are not even affected as the woods are just simply changed into concrete.
Only the walls, floors, and roofs are upgraded. It doesn't affect the furnitures and things inside the houses.
"I hereby announce... We will found our kingdom."
"What!!!???"
Everyone shouted.
