A dull longsword and a heartbroken villager

"BOOM!!!!!!!!!" The girl's casual swing of the axe destroyed the bottom of the carriage.

“…” Bray felt that the child wasn’t chasing bad guys, but rather vandalizing public facilities.

Although the girl's clothes did not look fancy, they gave her a very noble feeling.

Yes, it's "expensive".

Bray suddenly felt a little sorry for Naruko, who was far away in the capital. He wondered if he could stop staring at other girls from now on.

"Sigh." So Bray sighed inexplicably.

"Get out of my way!!" The man in white robes reached out to push away the man blocking his way.

"..." Bray turned to the side, dodging the white-robed man's hand, and then sat down on the chair next to him, not intending to move.

Those people didn't seem to care about Bray and planned to jump out through the gap in the carriage.

Even though it's freezing cold outside, it's still better than being smashed to death by this violent woman behind me.

"Don't even think about running!" Nyarlathotep hoisted the axe onto his shoulder, freeing his left hand.

She slammed her left hand down onto the ground, and immense magical power gathered in the distance.

The magic mixed with ice and snow transformed into a giant snowman, which pinned down the white-robed man who had jumped out of the carriage and was running in the snow.

Bray was watching the show from the sidelines, and just as he was about to have a drink of coffee, he realized that his cup was already empty.

Nyar walked right past Bray, but as he passed by, he glanced at him curiously for a few seconds.

However, after glancing at it a few times, she jumped out of the carriage and walked in the snow.

She wasn't dressed warmly; at least her alluring shoulders were exposed to the white snow.

After removing the giant snowman, she stacked the white-robed figures like toys and carried them back to the carriage.

After glancing at the snow-covered girl a few times, Bray went to the coffee machine and got her a cup of coffee.

Of course, I also poured myself a drink.

Fortunately, the coffee machine wasn't affected by the fight, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to enjoy this free service.

"Here you go." Bray handed the cup to Nyarlathotep, who had just put down a group of people in white robes.

“Oh! You look like a good person!” Nyar exclaimed after taking a sip of Bray’s coffee.

"..." Bray was shocked. He was a little touched that someone could actually see him as a good person at first glance. Nyarlathotep looked at Bray more carefully this time.

She had never met Bray before, but she felt a sense of familiarity with him.

"Are you chasing a fugitive?" Bray glanced at the few white-robed men, whose fates were unclear.

"Fugitives? No, these are all traitors who have brought chaos to the country." Naya sneered.

"If I weren't so capable, they would have definitely escaped." As she spoke, she didn't forget to praise herself.

"Traitors to the country?" Bray was somewhat surprised.

Bray doesn't pay any attention to national affairs, let alone things on other continents.

Therefore, he was unaware of what had happened in the Bai Ting Kingdom of the Northern Continent.

The Mathematical Society's clutches have spread to the Kingdom of White Court, and it seems to be plotting to shake the throne of Dorothea.

Of course, with Dorothea present, the Mathematical Society seemed to have no chance of success.

However, these members of the Mathematical Society were still very troublesome, and the Three Heroines had to mobilize as a whole to deal with them.

For example, these high-ranking members of the Mathematical Society who planned to abscond.

“So that’s how it is.” Bray raised his eyelids and examined the white robes.

The design is indeed very similar to the mathematical and scientific members that Bray had previously contacted, but making it white is probably to improve its practicality in the North Continent.

Well, these things have little to do with Bray. He has no intention of getting involved; he's just asking a few questions out of curiosity.

In any case, Bray believed that as long as Dorothea was still around, the Northern Continent would be basically safe.

Some say violence can't solve everything, but a charismatic, intelligent, and violent person can solve everything.

Bray is referring to Queen Dorothea.

Fifteen minutes later, the train conductor hurried to the carriage where Bray was.

"Lord Nyarlathotep..." The train conductor looked at Nyarlathotep with some difficulty.

With the title of "Three Warriors Princess" already established, he was merely somewhat respectful.

But even with the entire carriage so badly damaged, the train conductor still felt bad.

The journey ahead is going to be very troublesome, and he really hopes that Lord Nyarlathotep's fighting style can be a little gentler.

However, there were people on the train who were trying to disrupt the country's internal affairs, so the train could only let Nyarlathotep do as he pleased.

You should know that the only person in the entire railcar capable of dealing with these white-robed people is Lord Nyarlathotep.

"It's alright, it's all resolved." Naya stomped on the white-robed man at her feet.

The train conductor had mixed feelings, but there was nothing he could say.

Fortunately, the carriage to be abandoned was located at the back, so moving the remaining passengers to the front carriages was not an impossible task.

"Can this train continue on its way?" Bray asked after seeing that the person who came was the train conductor.

"Of course, it can be fixed in half a day." The train conductor, though surprised to find a passenger in the broken carriage, still answered.

"That's good." Bray breathed a sigh of relief. It would have been bad if things had dragged on for a few more days because of these white-robed men.

"Lord Naya, what should we do with these people?" The train conductor glanced at the dangerous individuals, feeling somewhat uneasy.

"It's alright, I'll keep an eye on them. Once we get to Minyayut, I'll send them to prison," Naya said domineeringly, waving her hand.

Nyarlathotep may not be good at other things, but he is quite good at fighting.

However, when Bray heard Nyarlathotep say that he was going to Minyayut, his right eyelid twitched involuntarily.

---

Just as the train conductor had said, the railcar started up again after half a day.

The carriages stuck on the tracks will be dealt with soon.

The most urgent task is to depart as soon as possible so as not to delay the passengers' time.

However, because there are fewer carriages, the space is a bit cramped.

Now Bray is sitting with Nyarlathotep.

Nyar tied the white-robed men up and sat on them.

Once she senses that the other party is waking up, Naya will immediately knock them unconscious.

Seeing this, Bray actually felt a little sorry for these people.

"Are you going to Minyayut too?" Bray remembered what Nyar had said earlier.

“Yeah,” Nyarlathotep replied casually, swinging his leg.

These people in white robes were truly grateful that Nyarlathotep was small and light.

"Has something happened to Mingyayut as well?" Unfamiliar with the current situation in the Northern Continent, Bray felt it necessary to find out about Mingyayut's situation.

Keep in mind that Dove is still in Minyayut.

"Nothing happened in Minya Yute," Naya replied casually, playing with her twin tails.

She would talk so much to Bray simply because she found him very interesting.

However, it's completely impossible to discuss anything truly confidential.

"Is there any major chaos there?"

"Of course not. Under Her Majesty the Queen's rule, where would there be chaos?" Naya said, proudly puffing out her chest.

"That's good." Hearing this reply, Bray felt a little relieved.

Although Bray still felt that Nyarlathotep hadn't said many things, knowing a little about the situation in the Northern Continent was enough.

Nyarlathotep didn't talk to Bray; instead, she stared blankly at the snow outside the window.

"..." Neyar didn't continue the conversation, and Bray didn't force a dialogue.

He is very self-aware of his own chatting skills.

Asking Naya might be a bit sensitive, so Bray asked the passenger next to him.

"Are you asking about Mingyayut? It seems there have been some changes in the seas over there."

"Have you heard of any secret realms? There are always a lot of people gathering at the nearest dock from Mingyayut, all supposedly for the secret realms."

"It seems that the Mathematical Society, which Her Majesty the Empress dislikes so much, has taken a liking to that secret realm."

"Many people have found good things from that place."

"Many people didn't come back from that secret realm; they probably all died."

"These kinds of places are where benefits and risks go hand in hand. Are you also interested in the secret realm?"

After asking a few people who were willing to answer, Bray learned some things about Minyayut.

Minyaut is a scenic city, but it's not usually crowded.

However, due to a recent "secret place" at sea, the population of the cities near that area has surged.

This also includes Minyayut.

These are not secrets; almost everyone who arrives in the Northern Continent will know them soon enough.

Clearly, there were more things Nyarlathotep didn't want to talk about than just these.

Since it's for Dorothea's sake, it's probably a more secretive and unknown mission.

As Nyar gazed at the snowy scene outside, Bray also began to ponder.

Nights in the North Continent are darker and come earlier than in other places.

Bray had a very bad impression of the Mathematical Society.

And coincidentally, after Redup left Dove, he arrived at a secret realm.

No matter how you look at it, this journey was anything but simple.

"It seems this commission will be fraught with many twists and turns." Bray pulled the broadsword into his arms.

The night is still long. In Mingyayut, a girl with short, light blue hair, carrying a bamboo basket, walks with some difficulty on the broken road where bricks have been lifted up.

The fish, reeking of fish, twitched uncontrollably in the bamboo basket.

Dove at work.

The girl is much taller now than before, and will probably be an adult in a few more years.

Having inherited a small amount of sea creature blood, she has a beautiful figure and is much stronger than a normal girl.

If it weren't for the scattered scales on her body, she would definitely be a beauty.

Dove's expression didn't seem very cheerful.

Because she has been living alone for some time now.

Redip left, walking away from her without a word.

Redup left a lot to Dove, or rather, "everything" to her.

But that's not what Doffin wanted. All she needed was for Redup to be by her side and travel with her.

Nothing else matters.

However, the most important person to her, Redip, the one who was best to her, quietly left.

He didn't give a reason, and we don't even know when he left.

Dove initially comforted himself, thinking that Redip had only left temporarily and would be back in a few days.

Five days have passed, and Redip still hasn't returned.

She finally realized that Redip had really left and wouldn't be coming back.

That day, Dove cried, kneeling on the busy street, sobbing uncontrollably.
