The next day, it was 7 o'clock in the morning.
In front of the inn, I pulled Nimi close and kissed her.
"Take care… Raid-san."
"Nimi, I'm off."
After giving one more kiss to the gently smiling Nimi, I left [Suzuya] and headed toward the castle gate leading out of the royal capital.
My destination was the castle gate on 7th Street. From there, I planned to take a carriage south.
About three days south by carriage lay a city called Santony.
It was said to be the second-largest city after the royal capital, and the three songstresses often performed there.
As I walked, I glanced down at the documents the adventurers had given me yesterday.
There were two things I had asked them to investigate.
The first was about the noble who managed the church.
Erika had already told me that Baron Abonano was in charge, but the adventurers' documents also included some unfavorable rumors.
The second was about the songstresses' patrons.
