Chapter 124
The Floating City, Berneze
We changed into travelers clothes in a grove near the city. I had anticipated their necessity, and had Eve prepare them in advance.
I would be the traveling merchant, Toshizou would be my guard, and Jeanne would be disguised as a farmer’s daughter.
I was used to putting on disguises, and Jeanne was born a farmer’s daughter, so she had no trouble there. She even put mud on her face to look the part.
The problem was Toshizou. Even with his clothes, he had the aura of a killer. There was something about him that was not normal.
“Well, I suppose it will be fine.”
I said in resignation. There would be no end to it if I wanted perfection. I couldn’t ask him to pretend to be a cowardly farmer, and so we entered as we were.
Though, Eve did not wear a disguise at all. It was the same with Fuma Kotaro. The uniform of a maid was quite useful because people did not look at you with suspicion. And they both wore it like it was their own skin.
And so it was like this that we attempted to enter the city. And fortunately, the gatekeeper let us through without any complications arising.
