"Kostadt, I don't have to lie when I talk to you."

"Sir, please speak."

"I regret it a little, why did I come to Entrode?"

“……”

It was still night at the inn, and Ronald and Costadt sat in front of the inn's fire and baked bread.

Actually, it was just now.

The two of them sent away the rare Lalleyer.

The other party heard about Ronald's doubts from his subordinates, and then rushed from the Rapids Court to the inn where Ronald lived the next afternoon, which was originally the royal palace of Entrod.

It's just that after the coup d'état, the new rulers felt that the original name was not suitable for them, so they gave themselves a new name, and the people also had the habit of calling it the ruling court directly.

And according to Lalleye's explanation......

Entrode, or most of the countries in the world, if you look at it from Ronald's eyes, the ability to do things is at a very unreliable level.

The efficiency shown by the young spy who is watching.

It is the legal system that Entrod wrote in the Constitution.

- And they have very good reasons.

-- Except for the military, which is the army's own problems, in ordinary government affairs, they do not want to cause harm to ordinary people. So if you make a decision in too short a time, you have a high probability of making an irreparable mistake.

On the contrary – sufficient time is sufficient to ensure that this does not happen as much as possible.

"Listen, what a grandiose excuse."

Ronald couldn't help but start complaining again:

"It's obviously because I'm lazy and inefficient, but I still have to be named like this. At the end of the day, our trip will turn into a temporary stay of more than a month! ”

Kostat calmly broke off a piece of toasted bread, took a bite and tasted it himself, and then brought it to Ronald:

"Sir, that's the reality at the moment."

"If you're really absolutely dissatisfied, we can just leave Waterfall and they won't take any real action against us."

Ronald took the bread and tasted it, it was charred and crispy, and it was just the right amount of softness and firmness.

The bread of Entrode is made in a different way of flour and process than Grad, and is significantly more suitable for storage and baking.

"Well, thank you."

After thanking the maid in front of him, Ronald continued in a regretful tone:

"Forget about what to leave."

"After all, we've all come all the way, and we swore to make a guarantee before. Even if you do want to leave, it's better to fulfill your promise - if you think about it, it's only a month. ”

Kostadt duly offered a different view:

"But sir, judging by the stories you remember—this unexpected stay is often a prelude to something greater."

Ronald leaned back:

"I'm not as weak as I was when I first crossed over, and I have to be afraid of anything. Just let me be arrogant, I don't see anyone who threatens me at the moment. ”

“……”

The maid nodded silently, and began to stir the bread on the stove.

But only a few minutes later, Kostadt looked up again and asked:

"Sir, do you have any plans to crack the original text?"

"If we're right, it should be directly related to your crossing, and there may be a surprise reward."

As soon as Kostadt spoke, Ronald's eyes immediately became complicated.

He slowly straightened up, the expression on his face cautious and serious—as if he had just crossed into this world.

"The original book ......"

Kostadt looked at Ronald with a hint of curiosity in his eyes:

"Are you hesitating, sir?"

Ronald replied in a serious tone:

"It's not hesitation, I'm afraid."

"Scared?" There was also inquiry in the maid's surprised eyes, "Can you tell me more about it?" ”

Ronald clearly sensed the emotion in Kostadt's eyes this time, so he did not hesitate to confess:

"If it was when I first crossed over, I probably had the guts to give it a try."

"But it's different now."

"This canon is about the fact that I have traveled back in time – that if I crack it, then there is a risk of unforeseen consequences. In the worst-case scenario, it cannot be ruled out that I would go dark before my eyes and then return to Earth, only to be buried in the ruins. ”

"I don't want to see that sort of thing."

"After all, in the past year, I have already connected with countless things, and there are things on this land that I really care about."

"Kostadt, do you understand?"

“……”

The maid thought carefully before asking:

"So you weighed the weight between [possibly returning to Earth] and [severing ties with this world] before you dared to crack the original text? Frankly...... I don't quite understand it. ”

Ronald frowned and scratched his hair.

Kostadt's words were a little wrong in terms of wording and logic, but he understood what the other party was now confused about.

After thinking about it for a few seconds, Ronald continued:

"Kostadt, the key to this is not to measure, but to come from what you want to see more...... Well, if you are going to develop your own complete personality, then you must also experience this confusion. ”

Kostadt: "Sir, I seem to understand what you say. ”

“……”

First week in Waterfall.

Ronald was in the midst of an indictment of the speed of Entrod's administration and his experience of this unique landscape.

Ordinary people in Waterfall are more friendly to outsiders.

Ronald had been roaming the streets for a few days, and he hadn't met any overtly hostile guys.

But there's only one thing that makes people care.

That's the religious issue.

Although Entrod had the same church as Grede, they were quite conservative in their missionary work because of the history and responsibilities of the world church itself.

This attitude is placed in a country like Entrode.

As a result, several 'folk religions' began to take root in the land, and older beliefs tended to be revived.

In terms of the experience of experiencing life with Ronald himself.

I'm afraid that the religion in Waterfall has long exceeded double digits!

If it weren't for the unique nature of the junta, and the secret services led by Lalaye, given the mysterious forces that are gradually emerging in it, God knows if this city would have become a hellish place like the 'battlefield of the gods'.

So on the second Friday of coming to Waterfalls.

While Ronald was wandering the streets, a girl dressed very openly, and when she saw her appearance, she immediately had an idea.

The girl came up directly and hugged Ronald's arm:

"Sir, would you like to come to our morning gathering?"

"You're going to get something."
