God is mean.Even though the unpleasant male soldiers have disappeared, and it'd finally be comfortable, I have to accompany the young lady on a journey...I dream of wearing that cute maid uniform again, but I endure it for now."Pina-san, Pina-san, Karina-sama has gone off, is it alright not to stop her?"The subordinates are calling me who's deep in thought. As it turns out, the other maids who accompany the young lady with me are the problem children, Taruna and Erina, god is really mean.I put off the grieving for later, and see in the direction Erina's finger points to, my face turns pale.The young lady has been peeking on the cliff below since a while ago, but then she jumps down it without hesitation."Young lady."I rush up to the edge of the cliff in a hurry, but it's probably too late now. Ah, how incompetent of me to not even be able to stop the young lady's suicide. I'll be fired from my precious workplace too. I might be downgraded to be a slave. Considering the pamperi
A large river is flowing 100 meters away from the highway our wagon is running on. It can't be seen now since there's a hill obstructing it, but it'll be visible in about 10 minutes. A large ship is currently going in the same direction, we might be able to see it.There's an 800-kilometer-long great river in this territory. From the Daregan city that we ignored yesterday, the river connects to four cities starting from the capital.If the traveler's journal is to be believed, the canal is made by a large empire that precedes the Shiga kingdom. It was made with magic, right? I think the figures of giants and golems doing public construction works are great.Calculating for a bit, if they use soil magic like I used the other day, they could make 2-3 kilometers long canal in a day, so the whole canal would probably be completed if they worked hard for a year. As expected of fantasy. A large construction works sounds quite easy.I understand that the Oyugock dukedom is vast after seeing
"No, you can't, master."Lulu looks at me with an anxious face."It's alright. Now, relax yourself.""Y, yes."I put my hands on the waist of Lulu who's frightened while inching back, leaning her body on me."Let's go, Lulu.""I, I can't. It's too big.""You don't need to worry. Believe what I say."While calming Lulu who's still anxious, I put my hands on top of Lulu's delicate hands.And--Lulu's finger pulls the magic gun.At the waterfall basin that spreads before our eyes below, there are six giant monsters resembling newts that exceed 10 meters acting as they please. The monster's name is Hard Newt, and their special ability is acid breath it seems.Every one of them is in upper level 20s, they're relatively strong.There's a reason why I take Lulu along for monster hunting despite frightening her.During the Muno incident, Pochi's level had become lower than the others, so I took her on a monster-hunting date when there were monsters on the highway near our camping ground. Kaga
"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
