Walking, Chapter 148: D-rank and new title

Yume Neiji

It happened after we had just completed a certain request, and we were completing the procedures at the Adventurer’s Guild.

“Okay, it’s now complete. Also, the reward from the church nomination request from earlier has been confirmed. Shun-san and your party will both be given the title of Demon Hunter and your ranks will increase by one.”

““Ooooh!””

Shiro, Ao, Fran, and Horn are jumping with joy knowing that their adventurer rank increased.

Me, Sue, and Shiro leveled to D-rank, and Fran and Horn are F-ranked. Fran and Horn could have ranked up on their own if they had worked a little harder, but let’s just say this is fine too.

And when the adventurer card was returned, there was a tiny image of a demon engraved on it. This means that we have earned the second title along with Goblin Hunter.

As for the rewards, well, I try not to be conscious of it.

It was a ridiculous amount of money.

I had also gotten a decent amount of reward at the Cherry Blossom Viewing Festival, so now I have enough money in my pocket that I won’t have to work for a while.

“Alright, let’s raise our Adventurer Rank even more!”

““Okay!””

But, seeing as Fran and Horn are in agreement with Shiro’s declaration, I think we’ll continue our adventures for the time being.

“Shun-san has two titles, so you are actually equivalent to a B-rank. As for your party, it is now equivalent to a D-rank.”

“Well, I still have Fran and Horn, so I don’t plan to take too many high-level requests.”

““Eeeh?””

“Don’t ‘Eeeh~’ me.”

“Pfft~”

Even Sue is chuckling.

Fran and Horn are still young, so I don’t plan on pushing them too hard.

Then I noticed that Ao was nowhere to be seen. 

“Eh? Where’s Ao?”

“Oh, Ao’s at the bulletin board.”

For some reason, Ao was standing in front of a bulletin board with requests posted up on it. 

I wondered what she was looking at, and it turned out she was looking at a request. 

“What is it? Oh, a request to exterminate spotted boars. Does Ao want to accept this request?”

“Ao says she wants to do this request!”

Ao is also trembling in excitement but first let’s check what kind of request it is at the reception.

“It’s a request from a village that takes half a day by horse-drawn carriage from here. Although the boars are not that big, they not only destroy the crops, but also has great fertility.”

“Are they destroying the fields? Hmmm, they reproduce quickly so I guess it’s okay to get rid of them to some extent.”

“Yes, as stated in the request, it asks that you exterminate as many as possible. However, as the village is short on funds, the request will be for a minimum amount of money.”

It’s a village that lacks financial resources, so I’m sure they are in a pinch. We don’t have a problem with money, so I decided to accept this request.

I decided to check with Maya-san and Sera-san too.

“Maya-san and Sera-san, we’re going to take this request, is it okay with you two?”

“Yes. We have saved up a certain amount of money, so the money is fine.”

“It’s also training for camping, so I’d like to take this request.”

“Understood.”

After answering the two of them, I faced the receptionist-oneesan.

“Then I would like to accept this request please. We will go to the village tomorrow morning.”

“Okay, I recorded it. When you’re done with your request, please come back to the reception.”

“““Okay~”””

It’s been a long time since I’ve been on an expedition.

It’s also the first time Fran and Horn will go camping, so it’s going to be a good experience.

Umareta Chokugo ni Suterareta kedo, Zensei ga Taikensha datta node Yoyuu de Ikitemasu

Chapter 261: A complete nuisance of a foreigner

Yume Neiji

Edou, the largest country in the East.

It is a country that did not exist 1,500 years ago. The eastern provinces at the time were in a time of war, with local lords known as warlords engaged in fierce battles for supremacy.

Edou is said to be the country that was born after my death, when a warlord succeeded in unifying the East.

“That’s why even today, the rulers of this country are called General.”

I stopped the airship in the sky near the city, then we used the elevator to reach the ground.

There, a typical eastern cityscape spread out before us. The houses are made of exotic wood, with roofs covered in a special building material called tiles. Unlike in the West, people are dressed in so-called kimono, and many of the men have their heads in topknots.

“Pfft, what’s with that weird hair?!”

Anje points to the topknot, and burst out laughing.

“Anje-oneechan, don’t laugh. It’s fine for now because he is just a townsman, but if he was a samurai, he might suddenly come swinging his sword at you. They have a lot of pride you see.”

“Then I’ll take revenge!”

“You’re a complete nuisance of a foreigner……”

Among the people who came and went, there were many who carried swords at their waists. It is a unique type of sword that is not found in the west, and is also called a “katana”.

Even ordinary people enjoyed swords, and there were “dojos” everywhere in the city. Due to his rigorous training from an early age, the Eastern swordsman is very strong.

“Hmm, I want to fight them. Should I get into that dojo thing?”

“Fana-oneechan, don’t try and challenge dojos okay?”

Even so, it doesn’t seem to have changed much since then. Of course, the war have ended and peace have been restored, but—

Gasha,gasha,gasha,gasha!

—A metal doll about two meters tall passed by in the immediate vicinity.

『…… It doesn’t seem to have changed much since then huh.』

“No, no, no, it’s not like that at all! What was that thing just now? There were no things like that back then!?”

The metal doll was apparently pulling a cart. There is also a man who appears to be a merchant in the cart, but it doesn’t feel like he’s piloting that metal doll.

It seemed to be an everyday sight for passersby, and they did not seem surprised by the metal doll.

At that moment, the gate of a nearby house opened with a squeak.

“I’m off.”

“Have a nice trip.”

It’s a heartwarming scene of a wife seeing her husband off to work, but instead of walking, the husband is straddling a mysterious object.

Brung brung, brrrrrrung!!

Shaped like a horse, but with two wheels on the front and back, it sped out of the gate with great force, making a thunderous noise. With the man on board, it went far away in a blink of an eye.

Next, an old woman with lame legs passed in front of us on a moving chair, and then a huge box like vehicle carrying a large number of children went by.

“I don’t recall seeing such a scene!”

As we were startled, an old man spoke to us.

“Are you guys from the west?”

“Mm, yes.”

“Hahaha, you’re surprised, aren’t you? I’m an old man, so I understand how you feel. Recently, more and more convenient things have been invented, and I’m always amazed. The young people use them as if it’s natural.”

Apparently, this change was not so long ago.

“They’re all called ‘karakuri’.”

“Karakuri?”

“Yes, originally they were just cheap things that worked with simpler mechanisms. Lately they’ve been making things that are way beyond our understanding.”

Karakuri were dolls and musical instruments that moved with a simple mechanism and were performed at festivals and other events to entertain people.

It is said that this has developed rapidly, and large dolls that can do heavy lifting, vehicles that can carry people, and even tools that can easily cultivate fields have been made.

“Eh, so that the one I saw from the sky was also a karakuri!”

As I was startled, the old man suddenly shouted.

“Eh? A talking baby!? N-no that’s impossible. Then…… seems like they finally made a talking karakuri?”

Even I was mistaken to be a karakuri.

Walking, Chapter 147: Removal of rubbles in the church

Yume Neiji

The day after the request for free treatment, a request for a cleanup in the church came in from the Holy Knights.

The search has already been completed, but just in case, the adventurers who fought the demon in the church has been nominated for this task.

We have also been nominated, and Maya-san and Sera-san have been specially appointed. After seeing Maya-san’s cooking and Sera-san’s help in the treatment yesterday, the deputy commander decided that there would be no problem with the two of them joining as well.

“At the end of the day, it’s the same squad as yesterday.”

“We’re the same group that fought that demon, so it can’t be helped.”

The martial art adventurer and a swordsman-oneesan are having such conversation. But it’s true that most of the people here are the same members as yesterday’s soup kitchen.

However, there is only one guest in the mix.

“Uhm, why am I here?”

“You’re one of the members of that demon-fighting group, aren’t you? You are registered as an adventurer, right? My old man told me that I should join because they may be short of manpower.”

“When I get home, I’m going to beat my dad!”

Yes, she is the daughter of the executive committee chairman of the Cherry Blossom Festival, who was with us during the extermination of the demon. She didn’t hesitate to throw magic at the demon, so there is no problem with her criteria for participation.

Since we’ve all gathered here, I should take this opportunity to talk about our party’s future plan before we start working.

“Sorry, but before we start, I have an announcement to make. We decided to go to the Northern Frontier Territory a little early.”

“Oh, I see. Now that I think about it, you said you were originally from the Southern Frontier.”

“It’s common for adventurers to look for new places to work.”

When I started talking, the others understood me. It seems that it was also because we originally came from the southern margraviate.

“However, there is also the matter of Maya-san and Sera-san, and it is a learning experience for us to teach people a lot of things, so we plan to stay in the Eastern Frontier Territory until Maya-san and Sera-san reach F-rank.”

“Shun-san and Sue-san, thank you so much for going out of your way to help us.”

“Mm. We will do our best to move up the ranks as soon as possible.”

　

After hearing my story, Maya-san and Sera-san respectfully bowed to me and Sue. I thought they would be confused, but they took it surprisingly calmly.

From what I’ve seen, I have a feeling that Maya-san and Sera-san are going to rise through the ranks very quickly.

Okay. Enough with the story, we all got to work straight away.

First, we split up and carried out the rubble from inside the church.

“Heave-ho, heave-ho.”

Shiro is strong, so she is carrying a lot of rubble at once. Fran and Horn also used physical enhancement, but they didn’t carry as much rubble as Shiro.

Sue and I also made a simple stretcher using sticks and cloth and carried the rubble out together.

The rubble taken out of the church are checked by the Holy Knight just in case. They are checking to see if there is any evidence mixed in the rubble.

Well, it’s a bit of a pain in the ass that I can’t use the item box to carry the rubble all at once.

“But that demon has smashed the facilities of the church in a spectacular way huh.”

“That demon seemed to have a low level of intelligence. We were pretty much pinpoint attacking him.”

When I looked inside the church after most of the rubble had been removed, I saw that the floor, chairs, and even the walls were broken. It’s going to take a long time to fix it.

Now that we have finished removing the rubble, we will pass the baton to the professional craftsmen for repairs from here.

“It all ended safely. Thank you for your hard work, everyone.”

““Same here, thank you for your hard work!””

The further checking of the Holy Knights was also completed, and our work is finished. The rubbles we carried out will be cleaned up later by a specialist.

“We completed the request this morning huh. I think it would be okay to take simple requests this afternoon.”

“Oh, I just heard that there is a request to clean up a store near my house.”

“Really? Then we’ll do that request.”

“““Okay!”””

This is how we did simple requests in our free time.

And we ended up rising in the ranks faster than Maya-san and Sera-san.

Hazure Skill “Alarm”, jitsuwa fūin kaijo no nōryoku deshita. Ochikobore no shōnen wa, nemuri kara sameta megami-tachi to yasashī saikyō o mezasu

Chapter 64: Puppet Master

Yume Neiji

Deep underground in the mining town of Alvis.

In the dimly lit cavern, the sound of ice axes continued without pause. What is being mined is a reddish-black vein of ore. Its color, similar to hot charcoal, stood out in the dim light. Everything except the vein was covered in ice, resembling a frozen tunnel.

Ganis, the magician, observes the work with dry eyes.

The workers were breathing out white breath as they swing their ice axes down without a pause. The magic stone lantern is dim and has no warmth.

It’s a total hard work in the extreme cold.

“……Uu-.”

One person fell.

Then a large shadow approached him.

It is a three-meter-tall humanoid with one blue eye shining on its head. The magical creature—a golem—picked up the fallen person, put him on its shoulder, and disappeared somewhere.

“It looks like things are going well today.”

Ganis spoke.

The sound of the ice axes hitting the vein stopped.

“G-Ganis……sama.”

“Hey, keep going. We’re going to attract the golem.”

They hurriedly resumed the movement of their ice axes.

Ganis was a middle-aged man with a pale complexion. He is a little over 40 years old. His blond hair was a little sparse, but his facial features were well-proportioned, befitting an aristocrat.

However, his wide, bulging eyes gave him the impression of a frog. When he glared at people, his eyes were especially gloomy. He wears a magician robe, but he doesn’t carry a staff. Two golems are behind him, holding his equipment.

“I-, I need to take a short break….…”

Ganis glanced at the pile of reddish-black ore. The buyer calls it “ashes”.

“……It’s not enough, not enough yet.”

“N-no way…”

“I’m at my limit.”

Ganis laughed.

The golem has returned. The person before was no longer on its shoulder.

“This is not good…… Hmm, I need to get some more workers. Whose family should I use…..?”

The workers turned pale.

“You are slaves, your lives have been bought with money. Commoners can be easily replaced you see.”

The slaves plead with Ganis, who mercilessly dismissed them.

“At least give us a rest, even if it’s just for an hour!”

“Why don’t you let that golem work too?”

Ganis raised his eyebrows.

“Don’t be stupid, this golem is my creation. Besides, you guys are better suited crawling into those tiny holes.”

“Y-you damn bastard! Odis-sama is watching!”

One of the workers finally cursed.

The use of slaves. Too harsh environment. Unauthorized golems. All of them were in violation of the laws of the Kingdom of Asgard.

But Ganis just shrugged his shoulders.

“Huh? Hahaha, with you underground like this, who would notice?”

The lord has little interest in politics. As a brilliant magician, Ganis had long been respected. Even more so now that he has gained new powers. Geographically, and in terms of power, no one can do anything about him.

“Punishment time.”

Ganis casts a somber glance at the rebellious slave.

“Come on, my golems.”

When he called, golems came running towards Ganis from all directions. All the magical creatures knelt at the same time.

The workers retreated seeing the power of their Lord.

The golems carried up the rebellious slave. Then he was eventually slammed into the wall.

“Kuku…… Commoners have a worse memory than golems.”

Tossing his robe, Ganis made his way to the elevator.

The sense of versatility stimulated his memory.

It was the “slave traders” whispered among the aristocracy who gave Ganis these slaves and taught him this secret vein.

—But the real blessing lies elsewhere.

“What a great skill……”

Ganis mutters in fascination.

Slave traders were able to impart skills to humans. What Ganis received was a 『Skill: Puppet Master』. He had never heard of it before, so he thought it was an “outlier skill”. However, the moment Ganis accepted it, the ability of “Golem Master” came to fruition.

His ability is to control golems. Using his experience as a magician, Ganis had built an efficient mine with magical creatures and slaves. The magically powered elevator that Ganis boarded is also an application of golem technology.

“But……”

As he was rocked by the diagonal elevator, Ganis took out a letter from his pocket. The slave trader that he had once been grateful to was now a source of headache for him.

“Another increase in production……”

Because of his position, he can no longer go against the slave traders. But recently, their demands have become stricter.

He clicked his tongue.

“I won’t be able to smuggle golems for a while.”

Thanks to his skills, the Golem of Ganis is tremendously powerful. If he could devote the time to smuggling, it would eventually become a side business that could rival the secret mine.

Just the other day, he had a carriage set off for the border territory of Varis. He also conducts various experiments in the dungeon. He needs as much time as he could. However, he was still hiding the golem smuggling and some of his experiments from the slave trader.

“I’ll have to get some more slaves. I need an excuse…..”

With a frown, he descended the elevator. In the upper layers, the ice is gone. A passage hollowed out through the rock led to the exit.

The usual sound, similar to a growl, comes.

——Oooh.

“……Again?”

It’s an unpleasant place for Ganis. Every time he comes here, a wind passes by that sounds like the roar of a giant.

A certain concern crosses Ganis’ mind.

――Is it really a mineral deposit?

The wall is illuminated by magic stone lanterns. A huge face appeared in front of it, with its eyes closed and teeth clenched. If the position of the ore deposit was the foot, then this would be the head.

“N-no. That’s impossible……right?”

Right —it just happens to look like a human face. Giant being is too ridiculous to be real.

He thought to himself.

There seemed to be a general message informing adventurers of “the end” and “powerful monsters” or something like that. But in the end, seven days later, nothing of note had come of it.

Ganis dismissed that concern with, “There were plenty of other things to think about, and plenty of fun things to do.”

Then he chuckled.

“Well, I wonder what happened to the golems I sent to the Varis. It should fetch a lot of money……!”

Ganis doesn’t know yet. But all the golems that he secretly sent to the Varis territory were found by a certain boy. And that boy is approaching Alvis, accompanied by the gods.

There is no way he would know.

“Kuku……”

Suppressing his laughter, Ganis leaves the mine.

――Oooooh!

The sound of the roaring wind came again. But now it had an intonation like that of a laughter of a giant.

Chapter 63: Protection of the weapon

Yume Neiji

I think Safi froze for a long time.

It’s no wonder though. After all, when she woke up, it’s already 1000 years in the future, and she is far away from her hometown, Alfheim. In fact, even the name of her beloved hometown had changed to “Alvis.”

Solana may be watching over her because the goddess herself remembers the time when she woke up alone.

“Safi-san……”

It was as if the fire had been extinguished, and her liveliness had disappeared.

“I’m okay.”

Safi sits back down, making her green pigtails sway in the process. She looked like a child, but her eyes were intense.

“I’ll tell you what I remember too. I think I’ve been asleep for a very long time. But—”

She paused then she continued,

“When I woke up, there was no one around. I mean, for it to be 1000 years later……”

She held her head and then she shakes head. She’s like a real child.

“……I’m sorry.”

“No, you don’t need to.”

“So I went out of the room I was in, but my head went fuzzy and more than anything, it was very cold…… I don’t remember much about what happened right after I woke up.”

Solana asked softly, “Did you hear the horn?”

“……Horn? Oh, I think I heard something……”

On Safi’s finger, a red ring glittered.

“From far down where I was sleeping, I felt a very…. hmm, how should I put it, ―it’s a very scary presence! I thought of running away so I went all the way up the stairs, and then I came out into a place that looked like a river…… I think I hid in a crate, and the next time I woke up, it was here.”

We looked at each other.

Maybe her memory is hazy in some places too. Because of that, there are a lot of parts that doesn’t make sense.

“……Can I ask you something?”

Solana narrowed her eyes at Safi’s ring. She stretched out her white hand and take Safi’s hand.

“It’s a ring imbued with magical powers.”

As if in response to the goddess, Loki approached the table.

“Let me have a look. Hahah~, it’s a dwarf’s work.”

Loki looks down at us and raised the corner of his mouth.

“It’s a ‘Guardian Ring,’ and the amount of magic you put into it protects its owner from hardship. Now you can imagine what it is.”

Loki points out his index finger.

“Perhaps she woke up from the seal because of the horn or maybe for some other reason. Then for a while, the protection of the ring allowed her to push aside the seal and move. But eventually, the time ran out, and she was finally resealed and turned to stone —I think that’s probably the case. If she managed to hide in the crate, then she must have been shipped as it was.”

Loki chuckled.

“I’m glad it’s not an antique-shop carriage. Imagine, what Ghent stone statue will you be?”

“Damn, you……!”

“Loki, that’s mean.”

—Even I decided to chime in with Safi, who was getting angry. Bent over laughing, Loki even points his finger at Safi.

Loki then adjusted his figure and pointed at Safi’s hand.

“What’s more, your ring also seems to have the effect of absorbing the magic of the surrounding area.”

“The surroundings?”

“This time, it must have absorbed the power in the magic stones that was carried with you. Which means that after a while, the magic power on it will be revived, in short, it can be recharged.”

Safi jumped up.

“Oh, I remembered! And I just woke up! But outside the crate is a completely different place, and I’m hungry—I went to scavenge for my stuff.”

Finally, I was convinced of one thing. Just before Safi was released from her seal, she had turned to stone with her hand reaching in her bag.

She was probably looking for food.

“S-so sturdy huh……”

Mia-san was stunned and impressed.

Solana puts her hand to her chin.

“I see…. But on your way to resupply, you turned to stone again, then we found you—”

Felix-san rubbed his eyebrows.

“……Let’s sort out our concerns. The situation is unclear. However, it seems that the golem core may have come from Alvis, just like Safi.”

After all, they were all on board that carriage.

Felix-san’s words made me think about it too.

It seems certain that the mining town of Alvis is located in the same place as Alfheim. If so, it certainly means that the golem core came from the place where Safi was, that is, the destination of our journey.

“Golem huh……”

In the Western dungeon, and again this time, the golem gives off the shadow of a giant. It’s just as big, but there’s something even bigger.

Safi stared at the table for a while. Then she raised her head.

“That…… I still don’t understand what the seal is. But I still have friends in Alfheim. There are voices that responded to your call, right?”

Safi looked around at us.

“Please, help Alfheim and wake them up. I’m sure everyone will be thankful, in exchange, you can take from the dwarf’s forge……!”

Her sincere wish is different from the dangerous image of the “black dwarf” that I knew beforehand. If the dwarf’s skills are on our side, it will also help protect Lu.

I would like to respond, “Of course”.

But right at that moment, Loki’s voice echoed in my head.

『Rion』

……He is outside the coin but he’s using telepathy. It’s the same way he does when he is in the gold coin.

『Be careful. We don’t really know much about this child, but even in mythological times, distrust and betrayal were commonplace. In any case, just be careful……』

Loki……

After all, something happened huh.

Safi laughed sadly.

“……You can’t? Hehe, I guess you guys can’t trust the black ones after all.”

No. I shake my head.

“Everything is going according to plan, right everyone?”

Both Mia-san and Felix-san nodded. Solana is watching over us like the sun.

“Rion, I agree with you.”

Safi’s face lit up. Her pigtails shook as she got excited and then she pulls out a small hammer from her heavy-looking bag.

“Then I’ll help too! Just wait, until we get to Alvis, I’ll forge you weapons to the point where you can’t even look at your current ones!”

The dwarf blacksmith puffed her chest proudly.

“I’ll carve a special magic runes just for you!”

“Runes?”

“It’s like a coat of arms, a weapon strengthening! Dwarf carving, also known as magic runes, is something special that even the gods can’t imitate—wait with anticipation!”

We decided to hurry on the road to Alvis.

We also added a new companion to our group —the dwarf blacksmith, Safi.

Walking, Chapter 146: A letter to Sue

Yume Neiji

The nomination request was over, so we were about to go back to the inn.

“By the way, Sue, I got a letter from the Margrave of the Northern Frontier, could you come with me to the mansion?”

“Y-yes. Thank you very much for taking your time on this.”

The former Margrave was talking to Sue.

Sue apparently received a letter from the Margrave of the Northern Frontier Territory, our next destination.

I was wondering what to do after this when Shiro grabbed Maya-san and Sera-san’s hands.

“Let’s go, let’s go. If you go to the mansion, you’ll get delicious food!”

““Eeh?””

Oi, Shiro! As I said before, the Margrave’s mansion is not a dining room you know.

But as expected, Maya-san and Sera-san did not get what Shiro is talking about.

“Hmm, then, shall we have the new adventurers come to the mansion as well?”

““N-no, no, no, no thank you.””

The former Margrave talked to Maya-san and Sera-san, but they refused wholeheartedly.

It is probably too much for the two of them to suddenly go to the Margrave’s mansion. So, Maya-san and Sera-san returned to the inn, and we decided to go to the Margrave’s mansion.

By the way, the other adventurers who are with us earlier didn’t come with us either.

“This is it. Please take a look at it.”

“Yes, I’ll take care of it.”

When we arrived at the Margrave’s mansion, we were ushered into the waiting room. Then the former Margrave handed Sue a letter from the Margrave of the Northern Frontier.

Sue immediately read the letter, but her expression changed somehow. Sue chuckled a little so I can’t help but wonder what was written on it.

“As for this letter, it is true that the sender was the Margrave of the Northern Frontier, but the contents of the letter is addressed to me by his daughter.”

“Oh, you mean the daughter that the Margrave of the North dotes on?”

“Yes. It seems that Fina has heard from the Margrave of the Northern Frontier that I am in the Eastern Frontier now, so she wants to see me as soon as possible.”

Huh? What does that mean?

The letter was written by the Margrave of the Northern Frontier, and the content of the letter said that his daughter wanted to meet Sue.

When I looked confused, Sue answered my question.

“Oh, Fina is the daughter of the Margrave of the Northern Frontier, and she will be eight years old this year. She used to play with me a lot when she was in the Royal Capital, that is why she missed me.”

“Oh, right. Sue is a daughter of a nobleman. I had completely forgotten about it.”

“Well, I’ve been an adventurer since I met Shun-san, so it’s no wonder you forgot that.”

“Uhm, Sue, are you angry?”

“I’m not angry about anything.”

Sigh, I had completely forgotten that Sue was a noble.

Although there is a difference in titles, it is understandable that there is a relationship between the daughters of nobles. In fact, it seems that Lady Fina is quite fond of Sue.

“That said, since we’ve started to look after Maya-san and Sera-san, let’s make a decision on our next step and then head to the Northern Frontier.”

“Then, let’s see how it goes until they reach F-rank. It will take some time to take care of them until they move up to E-rank after all.”

“That sounds good.”

So, with Sue in agreement, we will take care of Maya-san and Sera-san until they reached F rank.

There was also a request from the Margrave, so it looks like Maya-san and Sera-san will reach F rank in about a month.

This was the end of the letter check, but since we are already here, it was decided that we will have dinner at the Margrave’s mansion.

Not only Shiro, but also Fran and Horn were delighted.

In a way, it turned out exactly as Shiro expected.

Chapter 260: I’m Penniless

Yume Neiji

After leaving the desert country of Embara, we headed east again in a magic airship.

“Haah~, it was really bad…… Ugh, uweeh~, I don’t want to remember it, but I…… that old woman’s nakedness is in my mind again.”

I blurted out as I slumped in the wheelhouse.

『Why did you run away, Master? It was a sight that you were willing to spend a lot of money to see, right? 』

“Of course I should! I don’t want to see it even if they offered me a lot of money!”

After that encounter, I quickly converted the large amount of coins back into cash. But when exchanging coins, they charge a 20% commission, so it was a huge loss even though I didn’t do anything.

“I mean, isn’t it pretty crazy for an owner to suddenly get naked in front of such an innocent baby?”

『Isn’t it because Master wanted it so badly that you even filed a complaint? Besides, she’s probably no match for Master who’s pretending to be a baby even though you are actually an old man. 』

In any case, that incident was completely traumatic.

I didn’t want to be in that place anymore, so I decided to resume our journey as soon as possible. 

In the first place, our target destination is the East, and we just had a random stop along the way.

By the way, when I told her that I was going to leave soon, Eleonore went out of her way to see us off before leaving. She asked me if I could stay in the city a little longer, but I politely declined.

“Hmm, I’ve enjoyed it enough. I want to know the sword skills of the East as soon as possible.”

Fana is in a good mood after winning big at the gambling house, and she is looking forward to our arrival at the target destination.

“Ugh…… I’m penniless……”

In contrast, Anje, who suffered a crushing defeat, was left depressed because all the money she had was used up.

“I’ve been through a lot too. It’s a lot of fun to be a human being though.”

Lill, who was mistaken for a staff member, is said to have done dozens of times more work than an ordinary clerk with her overwhelming physical ability. 

Moreover, because she was the only one who had different type of animal ears, she stood out. She was well received by customers, and before she knew it, she had become the most popular one.

……In fact, she wasn’t a staff member or anything.

The others were very surprised when it was finally discovered, but it seems that the owner directly persuaded her to become an official one.

Yes, I’m talking about that perverted striping old hag.

『The one who asked her to get naked was you Master. A perverted old man with a big breast fetish.』

Please don’t speak ill of people.

In the meantime, the airship passed through the desert. Going further, we came to an area of fresh greenery. It’s not just a meadow. It’s beautifully plotted and clearly man-made.

“Those are rice fields.”

“Rice fields?”

“In the East, a grain called rice is their staple food. Rice fields are where they grow it.”

“Wow, it’s like a green carpet, it’s beautiful!”

“But how do you work in such a vast rice field?”

The rice fields stretched all the way to the end.

Along the way, there are a few villages that almost look like a town, but they are clearly not large enough to be managed by that level of manpower.

When I came to this area in the past, there were rice fields here too, but they weren’t on this scale.

“There’s something moving over there.”

“You’re right…… I wonder what that is. And if you look closely, are there people on it?”

A large object with wheels was slowly moving on the soil, which still seemed to be uncleared. Strangely, after it has passed through, the soil is clearly plowed. 

Normally, they use human power, oxen or horses, but apparently, they now use that mysterious tool to cultivate the uncultivated soil. The speed is much faster than using cattle and horses, let alone human power.

“Is it a kind of magic tool?”

“Maybe.”

At that time, the East was a country with backward magic, and they even abhorred magic by calling it witchcraft.

As expected, more than 1,500 years have passed, and as exchanges with the West have flourished, their understanding of magic must have progressed.

Meanwhile the city came into view. It is the same as it was at that time, and the houses with tiled roofs peculiar to the East are lined up.

“That’s the largest country in the East, Edou.”

Walking, Chapter 145: The nomination request was successfully completed

Yume Neiji

The medical team is led by Sue. However, there are not many members who can use healing magic, so other people have to line up.

The ones who can use healing magic are Sue, the swordsman-oneesan, the gorilla beastman fighter, and Horn and Sera-san.

Ao and I can also use healing magic, but this time we are in the soup kitchen, so we will not participate in doing the treatment.

“Line up in order!”

Shiro spoke in loud voice so people waiting in line can hear her instructions. Shiro’s voice is well heard, so the people in line also listen to Shiro’s instructions. She also greets all kinds of people with a smile so some people, especially elderly ones, occasionally pat her on the head.

Looking over at Sue’s side,

“Yes, that’s how it is.”

“I’ll do my best.”

Sera-san treats people with minor injuries under Sue’s guidance. She’s still not very good at treating people, but this is something she needs to get some experience with.

“How do you feel?”

“Oh, I feel better now. Thank you, Miss.”

Horn, as she had been with the medical team throughout the cherry blossom festival, was quite used to it. Together with the swordsman-oneesan and the gorilla beastman, she treats many people.

The medical team is very well organized by Sue, so it seems that I will not be needed here.

As I was thinking so, Fran came to me with Ao.

“Shun, please make extra food in the soup kitchen.”

“Okay, I’ll be right back.”

I held Fran’s hand as we went back to the soup kitchen area. There are now a lot of people lining up at the soup kitchen, so I have to do my best to cook more.

In this way, we cooked and treated until after noon.

“It looks like everything went well. At this rate, next week should go well too.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

The Margrave had to leave midway through for work, so I’m talking with his father, the former Margrave, who had come in his place.

I also introduced Maya-san and Sera-san to him, but Maya-san and Sera-san were stiff.

“Shun, it will take at least a month for a replacement priest or sister to be elected. In the meantime, I’m sorry, but I would like you guys to treat patients as with the nomination request.”

“Yes, it’s not a problem at all. The others are also taking the initiative, which is very helpful.”

The Deputy Commander also told me that he would be in the Eastern Frontier Territory for another month.

In that case, I guess we will leave for our next destination, the Northern Frontier Territory, in a month at the earliest.

It’s time to discuss the itinerary of the trip then. When we get back to the inn, I’ll talk with Maya-san and Sera-san about it.

In this way, the first nomination request was successfully completed.

Chapter 259: Would you like to play in the VIP room?

Yume Neiji

“Congratulations, Reus-sama! With this exchange, you are now a VIP.”

By converting almost all the money I had earned up until now into coins, I was able to become a VIP and receive secret service.

“Once you’re a VIP, you’ll be able to play in a dedicated VIP room where you’ll receive a different and higher quality service. Would you like to play in the VIP room?”

“Play~~!!”

I replied immediately. I had invested most of my money for this after all.

I’m glad I’ve made so much money up till now~

『…… It’s foolish to spend that amount of money just for that naked service.』

Ignoring Lindwurm, who is fed up, I was guided by a bunny girl to the rumored VIP room.

“Now then, I wonder what kind of spectacular view awaits me…… uh-!”

I concentrated magic on my eyes to enhance my eyesight to the extreme.

And what I saw was:

“““Welcome to the VIP Room!”””

Bunny girls made up of women who were even more beautiful than the servers in the general room.

Yes, it’s a bunny girl.

It is true that the level of the girls seemed to be higher than that of the general room, but the costumes are almost the same, with only minor difference.

“Uhm…… Oneechan?”

“Yes, what would it be?”

“This VIP room…… the servers was supposed to be stripped naked, right?”

“……?? No, we don’t offer such kind service.”

I screamed inwardly.

Those bastards! Don’t spread false informatiooooooooooon!

“You’re not doing it? I’m a VIP though!? I exchanged a total of 10,000 gold coins, and I am the biggest customer ever! If such a VIP wants it, isn’t it professional to respond to that request?!”

“A-ah..…?”

The clerk was greatly perplexed when I suddenly snapped out loudly.

『Master, you’re just being a completely malicious complainer you know. People like that are no customers at all. They should be kicked out immediately. 』

Lindwurm commented sternly, but I ignore it.

“No, I can’t talk to the employees about this! Call the owner here!”

“W-wait a minute.”

One of the servers rushed into the backyard in a hurry.

After a while, a petite old woman appeared. She seems to be over 70 years old, but from the way she carried herself, it was clear she was no ordinary person.

“I’m Marcia, the owner of this place. What can I do for you, dear customer?”

“You’re the owner? Listen, I thought that if I became a VIP, I would be able to receive striptease service from the clerks here. That’s why I spent a lot of money and bought coins! And yet, you don’t have such a service!?”

“Dear customer, I’m very sorry that I couldn’t meet your request.”

The owner, the old woman, bowed politely to my complaint, which changed my enraged mood.

From the fact that she didn’t seem to be upset, she must have plenty of experience like this.

“But it’s a great idea. If we can make it happen, I’m sure our customers will love it.”

“If you know that, why aren’t you doing it!?”

“Yes, actually, it’s because it violates the laws of this country.”

“Huh? Really?”

Apparently, serving customers while being naked is prohibited by law. Outside the forbidden zone, they were relatively tolerant, but of course there seemed to be limits.

『That was a pity, Master.』

Lindwurm taunted me, but the old woman continued,

“However, our motto is to put the customer first, and if there is a customer request, it is our mission to do our best to meet it.”

“Eh? Then…..”

“We will now perform a strip show for you. Of course, you must not tell anyone about this.”

Seriously!? Will they do it!?

Ooooooohh!!

After all, it’s always good to voice out whatever you want!

『……It’s because they indulge such complainers, so they always get too arrogant in the end.』

No, no, I’m not a complainer, I’m a VIP!

VIP is the best! I’m glad I spent a lot of money~~!

“Well then, please enjoy.”

In front of me, who was very excited, the old woman assured me so strongly, but for some reason, she put her hands on the clothes she was wearing.

Riiiiip!

She tore her clothes in an instant.

What appeared was the wrinkled nude body of an old woman.

“I’ll serve you in this form myself.”

“N-no, no, no, no, not thaaaaaaaaaaat!”

I ran out of the VIP room with all my might.

Walking, Chapter 144: Cooking begins

Yume Neiji

From here on, we all work together.

Maya-san can’t use magic, so she and I are part of the cooking team. Sera-san is weak but can use healing magic, so she and Sue are part of the team doing the treatment.

By the way, Fran is in the cooking team with me and Horn is with the team doing the treatment.

Now that the division of duties has been decided, we can start working immediately.

Chop. Chop.

“Wow, Shun-san is a good cook.”

“Until recently, I was cooking all day. Maya-san is doing very well too.”

“Thank you. I have a big family, so I had to do the housework out of necessity.”

As I was chopping vegetables, Maya-san, who was standing next to me, praised my knife skills. Maya-san was also quite skilled with the knife. She helped with chopping the vegetables.

A steward from the Margrave’s mansion also come to help with the preparation of the kitchen. The other adventurers are not very good cooks, so they prepare tables and tableware for serving.

And as early as then, the children of the slums had already gathered at the soup kitchen, and they are having fun in one place.

Swoosh, swoosh.

“““Amazing!”””

Ao and Thief-oneechan’s familiar, Leaf, is using wind magic to chop vegetables.

The brilliant magic of the little slime made the children of the slums who gather there very excited. Of course, Ao and Leaf are also careful not to hit the children with magic.

Bubbling, bubbling.

Today we will serve soup with plenty of vegetables. Of course, meat is also included.

“Un, a little salt will do.”

When I tasted it, I found that the vegetables had a good taste, so I added a little salt. I tasted both Ao and Leaf’s dish as well, and it’s perfect.

“Shun, let me taste it.”

“May I try it too?”

“Yes. It’s hot, so be careful.”

Fran, who is in charge of being the taster and server today, said she wanted to try it with Maya-san.

I served some on a small plate and let the two of them taste it.

““It’s delicious!””

“Good, good.”

Both of them seemed satisfied as they smiled involuntarily.

This should be fine then.

The hungry children from the slums were giving us hurried glances, as if asking if it’s not ready yet.

Receiving such gazes, it would be a pity to make them wait too long.

“Leave the plating to me.”

“The smell attracted more and more people.”

“Okay, I’ll leave it to you from here on out. I’m going to the medical team.”

From here, the martial art adventurer, the thief and magician-oneechan will help serve the food. Both Ao and Leaf helps with the serving of food too.

I’ll leave this to them, and I decided to head to the tent of the medical team.
