"When you get to Gururian city, don't miss out on eating the round red bean paste! However since it's one big copper coin for one, it's not easy to have one. For a merchant like Brother, you'd get laughed at by your business partners if you've never eaten one.""What kind of sweets is it?""Umm~ you make this white lump and put the sweet black lump as the main part around it."The sisters who are with us at the campground before Gururian city is talking about the established sweet in the city. It's somehow an imaginable, yet misleading explanation."You've never eaten one either have you? This girl becomes interested in the sweet after a merchant boasts about it in the village.""Fuhn. When I get my wages at the apprenticeship, then. I'll eat it first and foremost~.""Wages you say, it'll be years before that."As I understand, these sisters come from a village nearby to be apprentices in a merchant store at Gururian city. "Master, the merchants seem to be departing.""Then, we shoul
The demon that has appeared in Gugurian city is of the same grade as the one from Muno city. The species is of the same Short Horn demon too, level 30, and it also has the same skills, [Strength], [Hard Body], [Transformation], [Flame Palm]; it has no magic skills. It's a demon totally suited to become a vanguard.Nevertheless, I was certain that there was no demon before we entered this city. Or rather, I could affirm that there's no demon in the whole dukedom. It doesn't seem like the demon can teleport, so it's probably sent or summoned by someone.I leave the horses and the wagon to Lulu and Nana, and we go to the street against the escaping crowds. When we're moving, I tell everyone that the one ahead is not a monster but a demon, its level, skills, and things to be careful about during the fight.Occasionally, there are people jumping in the air as if playing trampoline from the direction of the crowds. Even though the demon can't use magic, it doesn't seem to be weak. When the
"In praise of defeating the demon who had attacked the city. The viceroy of Gururian city awards you this medal."The bald civil official who's standing next to the young viceroy reads the award aloud. This is the audience room inside Gururian City Castle. It's only about a quarter as wide as the one in Muno city, but there are twenty heavy soldiers equipped with halberds lined up on both sides.At this time, I had a carefree impression, "It's nice when it really feels like a castle~", but in truth, later Kagari told me that the viceroy guards were reinforced as a precaution against me.The only one inside the audience room is me. The other members are waiting in another room. I'm unarmed since I've given the fairy sword and the short cane to Kagari.Then, the meeting with the viceroy ended without any problem and I withdrew.In the end, the viceroy only said, "It was arduous."After leaving the audience room, I'm guided by a maid to a different room than the one Kagari and the others
The princess' entourages, Yui and Aoi pondered if I, who's called Rin and has black hair and black eyes, was a Japanese. It doesn't seem that they're aware of Kagari's name.The girl before me, Yui, is summoned from the Southern Japan Federation in a country separated to north and south. The kind of country's setting that's often found in fictitious military stories. It seems to be a real country from what she's said, I guess I shouldn't say 'setting' out loud.However, I've thought that I could easily go home if I just went to Saga empire, but if there are parallel worlds, I have to rethink my plan. Although from the start, I don't intend to go back until after the livelihood of Kagari, Liza, and the others are guaranteed here, so it's fine."By Japan, do you mean the illustrious country referred to by hero?""Rin isn't from one?""My house has always given the name of the eldest son, Rin, for generations long. It's said that our ancestor is a Saga Empire hero, but there's no hero ca
"Well then, everyone, please enjoy the specialties of Gugurian."The viceroy says so signaling the start of the banquet.The people in this dining room are the viceroy, his wife and his retainers, gentlemen and ladies--who are of course nobles with peerages. The guests are Princess Menea, Poni-san who acts as her escort,and also lady Karina and me. The influential people in the city are only invited when it's a buffet party.By the way, only adults are allowed to participate in the banquet and party, their children aren't.The dining table is decorated with flowers, and two maids accompany each guest. The tableware is silver knives, spoons, and forks. Besides the knife that looks like an extremely common dagger, the spoon, and the fork are like the ones used in the previous world. There is only one set of the tableware for each plate, but it gets exchanged with new ones when you've finished your meal it seems.The room is lit with magic light. It's not with magic tools, but a magicia
I'm waving my hands on top of the departing ship. It's not only Princess Menea and her escorts that have come to see us off, but even the viceroy couple and Miss Ririna.There were imprudent young nobles and hooligans that they had hired aiming for Liza's spear waiting in the harbor, but the viceroy soldiers skilfully arrested them before they could cause harm to us. It seemed Miss Karina's maids had notified the viceroy beforehand after they heard about some disturbing rumors.The nobles had probably seen Liza's spear during the fight with the demon yesterday, but they were really confident if they thought they could go against her even after seeing that fight.I want to leave miss Karina too if possible, but my reputation would become bad if I do leave my employer's daughter, so I give up."Fufufuhn, you've raised and collected flags of the new character huh! She should just disappear after this."New character... Please don't like a person with characters."Are you still thinking a
A birdman who's flying near the water's surface as if gliding passes over the ship.Pochi and Tama are waving their hands to the point as if they'd get torn off. It seems the birdman is also giving a service, he makes several turns and does a full revolution before flying away.I'm afraid that the two will fall since they lean forward too much while waving their hands, but since Liza seizes the girdle, it's probably alright.Even if they fall, there's [Float] that I've learned recently so it's fine, but there's no need for them to fall in the first place.It's basically a leisure on the ship.Yesterday, the ship was attacked by two aquatic monsters, but before we could go out, the Gillman soldiers who were escorting the ship cleaned it up. There was also a pirate group, the river version, that was going to attack on the river branch, but I attacked them with Short Stun from afar, and their boat got capsized the end.Since it's generally peaceful like that, I continue practicing signal
The ship carrying us is anchored at a place where the capital's night view can be seen. The port is crowded due to the tournament season, so we're waiting our turn. It seems the duke has issued an order to prioritize ships that are carrying supplies, there are a lot of other anchored ships.Since the captain has gotten the right to enter the port first thing in the morning tomorrow, it looks like we could enter the port without waiting tomorrow.Everyone was watching the night view until just now, but since the youth trope began to doze off, I made them turn back to the room.I hear light footsteps, I look back, and there's Kagari."You're going after all?""Ah."I answer briefly to Kagari who's giving off a strange atmosphere."I can't imagine you'd fall off against opponents at the level of short horn, but absolutely don't let your guard down, okay?""Ah, I know. Or rather, I'm going for it before the short-horn demons could appear."We wouldn't be able to tour the capital relaxed i
