❛❛ It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Lady Vaar. ❜❜ Neither the woman’s name nor the place she’d come from meant anything to him. They both sounded foreign, but where was she from ? And then she’d called herself the ‘Black Knight’. He hoped that that was a title others had given her, not something she’d made up for herself. Katsuie couldn’t escape from the shame he felt whenever he remembered being the ‘Ghost King’.
❛❛ The Land of the Rising Sun, huh…well, to start with, it is a place inhabited by many different people. Some are farmers, others are merchants, and the ones commanding them all are samurai. Although there is an emperor of the Land of the Rising Sun, he has no real military might. That power belongs to many different clans, all of whom seek to claim the nation for themselves. ❜❜
❛❛ By the way, what is this ‘Skydom’ of which you speak ? Where is it located ? ❜❜ It couldn’t be some sort of kingdom in the sky, right ? That would’ve been impossible for mere human beings to accomplish. What was more likely was that they were a group of people who worshipped sky deities, or something like that.
“Apollo is fine. No need for such necessary formalities.” Her nickname, Apollo was supposed to be chosen by those very close to her but she will have to let that exclusivity go. Now on, those she met is fine to call her in that name. Her title as Black Knight is no lie, she earned it with blood, sweat and dangers, not a measly title to be stained with nonsense. Now she hears about his world very carefully.
“Samurai commands them, leaving the emperor powerless, making them a puppet.” Ironic that the emperor should be the one ruling them but instead, it was various clans fighting it over on who to rule worthy in his world. It sounded rural but knowing his world could be a continent country in land, not in a form of a floating island. Yes, that makes sense for real.
“The skydom is just a realm of floating skies. Humans and other races co-exist each other. To require on visiting other places is a floating ship. There are primal beasts too, as they were dangerous from the start. I met one here, but my view of them changed as not all primal beasts are dangerous. Just hostile when bothered.” That was all she can tell about her world, hoping the other would get the point of her explanation.
