I Can't Believe I'm in the Mountains

I see Panamera walking toward the fort and I wave one as I called out.

"Panamera-san."

Panamera walked in a straight line towards me as I called out her name and put her hand on my shoulder forcefully. It hurts a little.

"Boy...what's this?"

"Huh?"

Panamera's sudden question made me tilt my head back and give a curt response. Perhaps not liking that, Panamera pointed diagonally upward with a straight face.

"This is it. What is this building?"

At being told this, I looked up at the structure that had just been built. It is a building that has been built on both sides of the street, forming an arch and uniting in midair. The building is shaped like a Torii gate, but the ornate decoration and the unique roof that extends toward the top make it an artistic beauty.

"Well, it's a Yomeimon Gate... or rather, a kind of castle gate. I thought this would be the last work I would do today, so I went all out, but I kept the height down to about 40 meters. But I kept the height down to about 40 meters, and I made sure the exterior was well done..."

"Wait, wait a minute. My head can't catch up with this... Why did you build this?"

Panamera, unusually puzzled, asks a question. No, I hadn't thought of anything at all, but I can't say I built it on a whim. For a moment, I look up at the stunning Yomeimon Gate that has just been built, and then I quickly look back at Panamera.

"I am sure that His Majesty will win this battle. Therefore, I built a gorgeous castle gate for His Majesty to see and enjoy as soon as he wins. By the way, this gate has a residential section from the second floor up, so I will be staying there tonight."

Panamera looked up at the Yomeimon Gate with a dumbfounded look on her face and let out a sigh as she told him this with a laugh.

"Haah...how could you come up with something like this? And with all these fancy carvings and decorations, it even looks kind of godly. May I take a look inside?"

"Yes? No, wait, that's a little..."

"Hmm?"

Panamera's words made me reflexively say no. Sensitively reacting to it, Panamera narrowed her eyes.

"...You made something else, didn't you? Let's see it, shall we?"

"Wait, that's...ah, Panamera-san!"

Suddenly, it was like a police raid, and I rushed to stop Panamera. I was seriously nervous because I didn't think Panamera would break into my house before I gave my consent.

Oh, my house is in Seat Village, so I should say this is my vacation home. The sound of a vacation home...I felt a bit like a celebrity, and it made me feel good.

No, no, that's not it. Now I had to deal with Panamera, who opened the door and went inside on her own.

"Pa, Panamera-san!

I hurried after her, but Panamera, who was going up the stairs at a brisk pace, soon reached the second floor.

Then, she stopped moving.

"...Boy, this is..."

Panamera looks at me with reproachful eyes, completely exposed. Giving up, I let out a sigh and answer.

"...Yes. This is the room we will be staying in."

With that, I explain the room. First, there's a couch nearby.

"This is a sofa made from rare magical beast leather. The table and shelves are also made from it. In addition, the windows are made of two thick panes of glass to prevent attacks from the outside and to allow light to enter the room. There is a toilet and a bath, and the bedroom can accommodate ten people sleeping comfortably. The third floor is a more luxurious bedroom and living room. Even in this room, the walls, pillars, and ceilings are gorgeously shaped, but the third floor is even more luxurious and ornate..."

I was getting into the swing of things as I was explaining, but Panamera started to speak in a low voice, and I kept my mouth shut.

"...This is the building where His Majesty is staying, isn't it?"

Panamera asks as if to confirm.

"No, this is the building where we..."

"This is the building where His Majesty will be staying, is that correct?"

"...Yes, that is correct."

Reluctantly, I agree with Panamera's words. There, she finally exhales in satisfaction.

"...You're a frightening guy, aren't you? Fearless, or something... if it was just a kid who did this, that would be the end of it, but in Baron Van's case, there's no excuse for such a thing."

Panamera says this a bit angrily and starts rummaging around the room.

Well, I understand what Panamera is trying to say. Sleeping in a better place than His Majesty would cause all sorts of problems. Even if His Majesty doesn't feel bad about it, he might have to punish me accordingly in front of the other nobles.

Panamera was concerned for our safety, and told us to give the best building to His Majesty. However, it was a little sad because we had gone to so much effort to make it.

"It can't be helped. I should make something else."

I muttered to myself and left Yomeimon Gate.
