“Did you say it is a city where it rains all the time?”
“Yes.”
It was during the morning.
Nainiae, who was getting maid lessons from Sera, could not hide the surprise when she heard Sera’s explanation about Rainfield.
“The city’s name came from that fact. It rains whole day long without stopping. So, it is called Rainfield.”
Morning, afternoon, and even during the evening…
Not only that, during throughout the all seasons…
There was a city where it always rained.
Rainfield was that kind of city, and it was pretty close to Solia.
“Its land size is not as large as Solia, but it is still one of famous cities.”
Sera explained as she cleaned a porcelain decoration in the corridor by making mist to it with her breath. [TL: The author didn’t explain what it was other than that it was made of porcelain/ceramic]
“It’s a city where everyone, commoners, nobilities, and even royalties, goes to when the summer heat hits. There’s no sunlight there, and because it rains whole day, it is cool there.”
It was a city where it rains whole day.
Nainiae figured it certainly would not be hot there even during summer since it rains whole day in Rainfield.
Nainiae nodded as she cleaned a porcelain object like Sera.
“That’s probably the reason why Young Master wants to go to Rainfield. It gets pretty warm… when Mr. Ian is serving Young Master.”
Sera added that, just like how the Solia’s Main Plaza lighted up with festivities during the swordsmanship tournament, Rainfield also becomes lively with festivities during summer.
“A festival…”
“There are lots of beautiful things there. The fireworks along the waterfall path for instance.”
“Fireworks along the waterfall path?”
“It’s pretty complicated to explain… How should I put it?”
Having finished with cleaning one porcelain object, Sera put it down and started to explain more about Rainfield’s waterfall path.
“Buildings on Rainfield are built with consideration for the endless rain. Thanks to this design choice, the roof design is quite unique. There is a pathway where the rainwater falls beautifully like waterfalls from these roofs.”
Having heard what Sera just said, Nainiae flapped her wings of imagination, but then she tilted her head side to side because she couldn’t quite get a feel for it.
“Anyway, it is a really pretty pathway. As for the fireworks, they are literal fireworks.”
“Excuse me. Ms. Sera… You just said it rains endlessly in Rainfield City. In that case, how does the firework…”
‘How could there be fireworks on a place that rains endlessly?’
When Nainiae pointed out the contradiction in the idea, as if Sera knew it was coming, she explained as she shrugged her shoulders.
“A long time ago, I heard a certain alchemist invented fireworks that does not get wet even in rain. The fireworks I’m talking about are these kinds.”
Sera, who have picked up the next porcelain object, continued as she tilted up the tail end of her mouth with confidence.
“The waterfall path’s firework is pretty amazing. I can say with confidence that it is one of the most beautiful scenery I have seen in my life.”
“It’s that good?”
“Rays of lights and sparkling glitters of fire beyond beautiful waterfall are… Gosh… Although I’m from Solia, I can dare to say there is nothing in Solia that can beat that scene.”
Looking at Sera’s sparkling eyes, Nainiae also sparkled her eyes in curiosity.

“… All right. I’ll allow it.”
“You have been telling me every year to try going outside. Why are you being so hesitant this year?”
They were at Stein’s office.
Riley, who had a business with his father, looked away and peeked a smile. Stein answered,
“I was concerned you might bring something like another medal of honor.”
“Hahaha…”
Stein’s gaze was full of expectations. Having noticed this, Riley stopped laughing so nonchalantly. He shook his head and said,
“Absolutely no way.”
To Stein, who was shrugging his shoulders as he mentioned the medal, Riley said that will never happen. He promptly turned his body around and escaped his father’s office.
“Now that I have his approval, shall I make a quick preparation and get going?”
Having received Stein’s approval, Riley cringed as he flapped his clothes to vent the air inside.
“Ugh. It’s hot…”
With a cringed face, he thought about Andal, his buddy, as he looked out the window.
It was because of what Andal said before.
Because Andal, a red dragon, was within the area, Iphalleta manor’s summer might be a little hotter than other places.
