Sennsou Wa Heiwa Sekai no Mannakade Vol.1

CHAPTER 1: SEEDLINGS

The carriage went out of the village. The sky was clear. The path ahead was clearly visible. It was just an hour since they left the village. The village couldn't be seen anymore but they could see the border of the city not far from their current position. It was Grandbell's border. The town which was very close to the edge of the flying continent, Asgard. The town was famous mostly for its fishes. The delicious dish using fresh fish caught in the lake and river and also the beautiful appearance of the fish. Grandbell also had a train station which they would take to Valmoore.

At the border, the guard confirmed the identity of each passenger that would pass. Kuro and Hiro gave their letter from Valmoore's official to the guard. The letter was about their enrollment as a trainee to join the army. The guards looked at its authenticity very carefully. From the handwriting to the signature and the seal on the letter itself. After he found that the letter was the real deal, he returned the letter and congratulate both of them for their enrollment. The carriage then moved once again to the train station.

In front of it, the carriage stopped. Kuro and Hiro took their belonging and jumped down. Hiro took some bronze coin and paid for the ride. They head inside the station together. Inside, they were amazed by the interior of the station. Since they both was raised in a village, the station was the best building they had ever seen. Not forgot about their purpose, Kuro went to the clerk to buy a ticket to Valmoore. The clerk asked him if he was going there for taking exam which Kuro replied with a yes. Both Hiro and Kuro gave their letter to the clerk and was given 2 tickets for the train. Apparently the cost for the train was paid by the government if it was for the trainee.

Kuro looked at the departure time. It was around 10 minutes left. he asked for the where about of the train which was located in platform 4.

"oh platform 4, it was the train that currently stopped right there" the clerk pointed to their east.

There was a train that was on check. Kuro and Hiro ran inside before the train left. They looked for an empty room and placed their belongings there. They sit down and looked outside the window. It was when one of the staff asked for the ticket.

"Can I see your ticket to Valmoore sir?" the staff asked.

"Yes, here it is" Hiro said as he gave his ticket. Kuro gave his too not long after that.

After checking, the staff torn the ticket as a proof of it being used already. The staff then shouted that he had checked all passengers ticket. Kuro and Hiro looked at the window again and they saw as the train slowly increased its speed. Sound of horn could be heard, marking the train departure. It soon left the town, heading for Valmoore.

Inside the train Hiro and Kuro was in awe for the view outside, it had different ecosystem compared to their village. Many new creatures lived there. Windmills also could be seen. Grassland with hills not far from their train. Hiro wished that he could travel the world more and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Kuro agreed that he also wanted to see the world with his own two eyes. Kuro opened the map of Asgard that was given by Z. it looked like they would reach Valmoore in around 30 minutes. At that spare time Kuro and Hiro decided to chat more.

"Kuro do you think this will be interesting" Hiro started with a question

"Why do you always start with a vague question" Kuro complained.

Even after a long time knowing Hiro he still couldn't know what Hiro meant when he opened conversation with such question. Hiro apologized since it was a habit already. He changed it to a clearer question. He asked about the training in Valmoore. Kuro replied that as someone who had a dream to join the army of course he would be interested in it. In fact, from very young age, Kuro often play make believe as a knight while some children played as the bad guys. It had always been Kuro's dream to fight for justice.
