Chapter 39 - We Will Be Reunited: A Worthless Drunkard

— Leon Greyrat —

"Well, would you look at that?"

Staring at the sight in front of us, I couldn't help but smile in satisfaction.

Not only had we finally arrived at our destination after a three-month journey, but we were also rewarded with an absolutely stunning sight.

"So this is the capital of the Holy Country of Millis... it is quite a sight indeed," Ruijerd said, nodding with a smile.

"Yeah... they don't call it the most beautiful city in the world for nothing, I guess," I shrugged.

"Whatever! This is the place with the big Adventure Guild, right? That's all that matters!" Eris said.

"But it's so pretty, Big Sis!"

"And look at the water!"

Aisha and Norn added, staring down at the city in wonder.

Millishion. The largest city on the Millis Continent and the centre of the Millis faith.

Calling it a 'beautiful place' wouldn't do it justice.

With the snow-topped mountainscape of the Blue Dragon Mountain Range in the background, the city was built on and around a large lake, with shimmering blue water that calmed the heart even from looking this far away.

A paragon of architectural beauty and harmony, the city had a ring of buildings surrounding the lake that was connected to another floating ring through a variety of bridges, which were then connected to the central palace that floated in the lake's centre.

With the seven magic towers standing tall on the outskirts, from what I had read, they protected the city from outside interference with a large barrier that also controlled the weather of the city inside, so it was always a beautiful day in the capital of the Holy Country.

This was also the place where Mama was born and raised, as well as the place where her family lived... but we weren't here for that.

We were here to meet Paul, my father, and drop off my sisters so that I could start searching for Mama and Lilia on the Begaritt Continent.

But for now...

"Aisha, Norn. Your scarf and bunny are getting a bit frayed. Do you want to buy something new here?" I asked. "From what I remember reading, this place has a whole district for shops in the east, so I'm sure we can find something good."

Contrary to my expectations, they both adamantly refused.

"Absolutely not, Brother!" Norn shook her head.

"Even if it were reduced to rags, I wouldn't let it go," Aisha agreed, holding her scarf close.

Seeing them act like that warmed my heart in ways I never knew possible.

Little sisters were something else, huh?

"I... I'm touched, you two," I said, pulling them both to my sides. "But we can still get some stuff if you want. We have a lot of funds, after all, especially after what the Doldia village gifted us."

Watching the scenery pass by as the carriage continued down the Holy Sword Highway, I wondered about telling the two that they would be staying in this city for the foreseeable future.

Well, I don't know for sure that Paul is still in Millishion, and they'll probably be upset when I bring it up... so I'll wait until later to break the news.

"Then... How about we get you both some clothes? You two have been wearing the same outfit for a while, and you're both growing girls," I said. "I'm sure this place will have something you both like."
