Katsuko's POV
Kamal, eh…That sounds like an interesting place…I wonder if I could go there.
"Do you want to go there, guys?" Basilio asked breaking my train of thought.
Kahraman-kun, Viviana-chan, and I then looked at him.
"Yeah," he continued, "tomorrow, we will go there for that trade partnership deal."
Maxim then added. "Metalnem, Dacuinia would be a good place to board a ferry to go there."
Basilio then looked at him. "Metalnem, Dacuinia?"
His Vamzom subordinate then nodded. "Yes, sir, Dacuinia is the country of the Dacuian wolves, the ones who were under Pilla-san's leadership, and their town of Metalnem had a harbor that accommodates ferries and cargo ships."
"Wow, sounds like Pilla-kun's country was in a serious trade business."
"Yes, sir, it was."
Ferries…first off, I never went outside of the mainland of the Central Continent, so Kamal would be a point of exploration for myself.
"When will we go there?" Viviana asked.
"Tomorrow morning," Basilio responded, "and it's on a Sunday, too."
I then stood up and said, "I want to go with you guys!"
Kahraman and Viviana were surprised and taken aback but stood up and wanted to go with us.
"Okay, then prepare up for tomorrow morning," Basilio replied back brightly. "We will fly in helicopters to Metalnem and take a ferry from there to Zemelja."
At this point, I was quite looking forward to hone my skills in combat in that kingdom…
Benjamín's POV
I was at home looking at the mirror in my room, looking at my own reflection in a fine clothing set. I then looked at a magical bracelet I had been wearing almost all the time to prevent my Vamzom side from making me go wild. I was quite hesitant on showing it to anyone outside of my father's household and had been training and sharpening its magical skills in secret…
Also, it's been a while since I haven't heard from Katsuko-kun now…
I wonder where he is up to now…
I wonder where my Vamzom mom is up to now, too…
Also, it's been almost 5 months since I graduated from Sárga Madár's prestigious school and became a free swordsman for now.
Third person POV
And so, after that castle visit and a brief sightseeing around Ruslav, Katsuko, Kahraman, and Viviana went back; this time, Kahraman rode a city bus from Nuevo Tacloban back to Sárga Madár, while Katsuko and Viviana travelled by foot, fulfilling what Kahraman whined about this morning.
Meanwhile, Basilio was making preparations for the trip to Kamal with some of his subordinates. He also did some searching in directions using his phone map and also referred to maps about the Central Continent.
At the same time, shortly after they had arrived in Sárga Madár, Katsuko and his two friends met up with Benjamín, who asked where they had been today.
"Oh, hey there, Benjamín-kun," Katsuko replied back. "We had a short trip to Ruslav and met up with Basilio-kun."
"Woah, what?" Benjamín was stunned. "You did?"
"Yeah, we did!" Kahraman happily responded.
"Oh, um…how was it?"
"It's good, and we were also offered to come with them to Kamal on a trade partnership deal," Katsuko responded. "Wanna come tomorrow morning?"
Benjamín was flabbergasted at his offer. "Woah, a trip to Kamal?"
"Yup, wanna come or not?"
"I would like to, too!"
And so, tomorrow morning, all of them and Basilio and a group of 6 Vamzoms flew to Metalnem by helicopter. Ormoc and Paulina, as well as Chivo, also came along with them. Vatrene was currently in a soldier's shortage while their forcibly conscripted soldiers were still in their current training sessions. Metalnem was only 50 kilometers from Nuevo Tacloban, and it was an hour by bus and 30 minutes by train through the Safir-Kawa Shing railroad (Kawa Shing is a coastal city in Falleta).
