Chapter 08: Doubters in the Depths of a Ravine
To go and to return is the path there and back.
If so.
To descend and to ascend is a valley's path and what.
Point Allocation (Life)
On the mountainside, bathing in the light of noon, a wooden structure exists.
It was a security house built on the surface of the mountain where "Kagami Field" was written with trees. It was beside the eastern mountain corridor which connects Musashi's continental port with the streets below, a house built in a position where it looked down upon the mountain checkpoint.
The house carried two figures above its six-tatami structure.
Holding rifles and sitting in chairs were two people in crimson uniforms wearing Tres Espana's emblem.
While one person was watching the mountain and one person watching the base of it, they exchanged words. Even now, the one in the senior uniform looking at the mountain-
"--As expected, today there was a lot of transport squads. Has the confusion of the checkpoint over here somehow ended?"
At that voice, the boy watching Mikawa, the foot of the mountain, nodded. He looked at the checkpoint at the base with his rifle's scope-
"...Right now, the bottom is pretty packed. Recently, it's been said that it'd be quicker to detour over to the other side, the western corridor which connects to the common use continental port where our squad is, but on the other side there's things like wooden bridges, and the roads are pretty narrow. Gods of War and large wagons can't travel it, so they had to send out transport ships all the way to the western hall."
"That was pretty detailed. Were you an immigrant from Mikawa?"
Tes., the boy responded.
"I'm a naturalized citizen of Tres Espana. Ten years ago, thanks to Lord Motonobu's 'clearing out' and the construction of New Nagoya Castle, now I'm not Shinto, but a Catholic, and I'm making an angel's community site on the net."
The watcher who was a boy gestured towards the village of Mikawa with his rifle.
In response, the senior turned back with his neck, and at the end of his sight wa the center segment of Nagoya City.
