“My, what a fun night it was.”
The next morning, we again hopped into the carriage and set off for the Eastern Margravate.
The old man says it was an interesting experience, but it was hard for me……
The employees who had diarrhea due to food poisoning had recovered by morning. In addition to the treatment, we also cleaned the kitchen in the cafeteria with life magic. If they are careful enough with the ingredients, they should be fine.
The staff at the inn appreciated it a lot, but I would like them to have a little more knowledge of hygiene.

Since we went out from the forest to the plains along the river, there were fewer monsters and dangerous animals that targeted us, so the journey was relatively peaceful.
Now that we have a little time, I want to ask what has been on my mind.
“Grandpa, if you can talk about it, I’d like to know the details. Well, I heard that in the Eastern Margravate, the relationship between humans and beastmen is quite bad, is that true?”
“Hmm, that’s a difficult question. It’s true that there is conflict between some humans and beastmen.”
The old man answered me after thinking for a moment.
What I had heard in the Southern Margravate was true after all.
Then, the beastman uncle supplemented.
“To be exact, it’s between the humanists and the beastmen. When the head of the church changed, the policy also suddenly changed. Some residents who agreed with it also changed their attitude towards beastmen drastically.”
“Eh? The church is supposed to be equal regardless of race, right?”
“Miss, there’s a power struggle in the church too. The idea of equality that Miss had said is normal, but there are also extreme humanists.”
Sue was taken aback by the story of that the beastman uncle said. But intra-religious conflicts do exist in this world.
Hmmm. If that is indeed the case, then a sponsor might be the one supporting the person who’s at the top of the church.
“There are no conflicts between humans and beastmen among the adventurers though. However, there is certainly a bit of unrest in the town.”
“We’re a party of humans and beastmen, so I’m a little worried.”
“Anyways, you guys will be fine. I’m sure you’ll do something about it.”
Beastman uncle, please don’t just say that casually. It’s not like I can really do something about it.
Uh! The old man even nodded his head in agreement!

The bustling carriage journey is now coming to an end. We had at last arrived at the Eastern Margravate.
“Whoa, there are really people of all races here.”
“It’s true. There are so many of them.”
Even though we have arrived at the Eastern Margravate, it is still a border town. However, there are already many people of different races walking around the town. There are not only beastmen, but also elves and dwarves. On rare occasions, angels and those from demon race are also walking around the place.
Unlike the Southern Margravate, the townscape here is very lively.
Amidst all this, our carriage arrived safely at the carriage terminal.
“We’re heading to the Capital after work tomorrow. See you guys soon.”
“We are also heading to the Capital after working for a couple of days. We’re looking forward to seeing you guys there.”
“Yes, I’m looking forward to seeing you all again too.”
“Bye-bye, see you later!”
We said goodbye to the beastman couple and the elderly couple at the carriage terminal. However, it seems that everyone is going to the Capital soon, so we will definitely meet up again.
We decided to find an inn to stay at for the night and get a good rest.
