A Chronicle of Life in a Different World
Episode 520: Wang Du Sightseeing Part 2
The carriage in which Reurus and the others rode was built to be large and comfortable for use only by the Counts of Werg.
The size is slightly two meters wide and three meters long. The rectangular carriage is made from a combination of wood and metal plates, and the walls are equipped with windows for viewing the outside.
It was also concerned with details, and a flower-like pattern was engraved on the metal pillar. There are also sofa-like chairs, but they are packed with plenty of cotton to absorb shocks as the carriage progresses.
Eliza on Reurus, Meer on Sarah, Ruvillia on Neddy, and the six of them can sit with plenty of room, and the luxury of the interior is enough for the Earl's family. Even the Reurus, who was not familiar with carriages, seemed to be such a fine carriage.
There are two carriage seats, which are arranged opposite each other. Among them was Reurus, Eliza and Neddy, and on the other was Ruvillia, Sarah and Meer.
(Do you buy carriages like this too... or do I have to buy them?
Reurus wonders in his heart whether he should get the means of transportation that are commensurate with his status, since he has acquired the position of a quasi-bar without wishing to. Regardless of the town, traveling outdoors would be literally the shortest way to get through the woods with your feet, so there seemed to be no particular benefit in buying a carriage.
(Mr. Collard didn't buy it either, okay....)
Reurus concludes that it is not necessary now. I decided to chase Natalia and Collard into a corner of my memory, saying that they would shake things up if they needed to.
"Ooh...."
It should be a surprise, Neddy, that the most “enjoyable” way to travel through King's Landing is by carriage. He looks up at the windows and looks at the scenery flowing through them with interest. It seems interesting that the landscape flows from right to left.
(It can also be used to load luggage when traveling, and if Neddy is happy, maybe he can buy a carriage... but can I take care of the horse?)
Reurus retracts the foreword and begins to consider buying a carriage. However, even if I bought it, it would be quite straightforward for the time being.
"Hey, it's nice weather today."
That's how Reurus watched how comfortable Neddy was on the carriage, but Ruvillia sat in front of him shook the conversation. As the subject of the weather came to light just for the first time, Reurus nodded loudly as he looked out the window. The sky was clear without a cloud.
Yeah, it's nice weather.
Yeah, that's right.
"Yeah."
That's where the conversation ends. The topic continued to be a thought realuse, but Ruvillia was turning her gaze to the right and left with her cheeks red.
(... Ruvillia-san, are you nervous?
Ruvillia plays her golden hair with her fingertips while trying to find a topic to talk about. I wondered what Ruville looked like, but Eliza, who was sitting next to Reurus, poked her elbow slightly.
(The information from Mr. Lewis... doesn't seem to tell me. In the meantime, do you want to relieve the tension while talking?)
It is uncomfortable to have “the air as it is” even to the pharmacy, which is the destination. Normally, Sarah, who was making a lot of noise, didn't seem happy to join the conversation with the vibrating feeling of the seat.
Reurus looks for topics in his brain. And I decided to ask because it was a good opportunity.
Speaking of which, Mr. Ruvillia, I have one question for you.
"What? Are you asking...? If you can answer me, I'll answer anything!
Ruvillia nodded as she pressed her arms in front of her chest. While laughing bitterly at the appearance, Reurus decided to shake the topic that had troubled his mind until just now.
"What name do nobles give their children? The name given to a boy or a girl will change, but will it make sense after all?
"... hah?
I don't say a lot about the rules of naming in this world, but Reus asks how the name can be decided.
In the case of Reurus, I couldn't ask because my parents died when I was three years old, but I think I gave him a name for some reason.
"So, what does that mean...?
"No, what if I'm in a" naming position ”... or a pretty name for a boy or a pretty name for a girl?
Reurus answers laughingly to Ruvillia, who turns her face red more than ever and asks her suspicious behavior.
Reurus chose his name as a topic to talk about, asking for tips on deciding the name of “something” that was in Dragon Slasher. I would like to decide the name because there was a mystery in the sword, but I won't say that.
"Name... my child's name... I don't feel good..."
However, Ruvillia leaked a murmur as her face became even more red.
"Nh! Reurus? Don't say things that are misleading.
That's how Eliza pressed her elbow against the side of Reurus. The elbow began to sink into the flank as he made a decision, and Reurus tilted his neck.
(Misunderstandings? No, I don't think so...)
It was a Reurus who immediately read what Eliza wanted to say, but she watched Ruvillia and shut her mouth. Then he strolled around for a few seconds and looked out the window.
"... I will correct. Look, I have to decide my family name. That's a hint... no, I want to get caught."
"... eh? Ah, ahh... that's it..."
Ruvillia blinked as if she had returned to me. Then she sandwiched her hands to cool her hot cheeks and muttered softly.
"... Reurus, I'm messing with you."
…………
In the carriage and close enough to reach, Ruvillia's murmur reaches Reurus' ears.
Reurus deserved it, but the journey to the pharmacy was a little more awkward.
The carriage made a noise and arrived at the pharmacy of the destination.
In Wang Dynasty, there are large stores and small and medium-sized stores, but there are about four areas where various stores are connected and should be called markets.
When they overlooked King's Landing, they were divided into east, west, south and north, and existed one place at a time. The neighborhood is lively and crowded with residents who use it frequently.
Among these four markets, there was a destination in the western market.
The Sebastian carriage stopped and Reurus opened the door and landed on the ground. Looking around, a “grotesque” building depicting an object like a beaker appeared in sight.
"Ugh... Ruvillia-san, give me your hand."
Before stepping into the pharmacy, Reurus moves to Ruvillia's escort. Reaching out to Ruvillia as she tried to get off the carriage, Ruvillia turned her eyes round and looked neat.
(... that? You're not gonna do this?
It was a Reurus who acted with a little nobility, but Ruvillia's reaction was slow. Therefore, I thought about what was wrong and concluded that the “way of saying” was wrong.
"--Give me your hand, princess."
"Nh... yes!
Ruvillia grabbed Reurus' hand with joy and came down from the carriage. That was a really happy expression.
Hmm?
Reurus feels a puncture line of sight and looks towards you.
(Was that a carriage...?
Reurus looked ahead at the carriage in front of the rental house. As always, the family crest is not displayed, and the person's face is also invisible, so I cannot confirm it, but if I judge by the appearance of the carriage alone, it is thought to be the same.
(Did you follow me? Or did you go ahead...)
I wonder if there is something “business” going on, but the opponent doesn't seem to move just because his gaze flies in.
"... Reurus? What's wrong with you?
He must have wondered about Reurus, who moved his gaze with his hand in his hand. Ruvillia asks strangely, and Reurus pulls his hand and dislocates Ruvillia, holding him with a gesture of support.
"Yikes!? I'm being revulsed! What are you doing here?"
"There is a carriage that was missed before we left. It's okay if it's your fault, but it seems you're looking at me... for me, Mr. Ruvillia... or Sarah, do you have any idea?
Although it was Ruville who protested, Reurus whispered to Ruville, hiding his expression from the carriage as he turned his back. Then Ruvillia immediately noticed the current situation, and raised her eyebrows as if confused.
"No... what's going on..."
I can't tell whether it's an act or not, but Ruvillia answers with a straight look at Reurus's eyes.
(That's not a lie... is it me you're after? Or is it just that Mr. Ruvillia didn't notice? I don't think anyone in King's Landing is going to attack Sarah the Spirit....)
If they were targeting Sarah, the Spirits would come running from nowhere. While thinking about that, Reurus stood up and smiled at Ruvillia he was holding.
"Yes! So why don't you eat a light meal before the pharmacy? Mr. Lewis told me that there is a shop selling delicious baked goods!
Reurus raised his voice deliberately and suggested a change of destination. Then Sebastian, who was holding the rope in the podium seat, echoed his approval.
"That's good! I've been there before and I'll show you around!... I'm sorry. I can't believe I didn't notice a suspicious carriage...."
Sebastian apologizes quietly after agreeing loudly. The apology would be genuine - but Reurus felt strangely caught.
(Sebastian didn't notice what I noticed... really?
Sebastian may not have noticed because he wasn't looking. With that in mind, Reurus used the "Call of Thoughts" and threw a word at Sarah.
Sarah, there's a carriage that stops a little further away, right? The one whose face is covered with cloth. How many heat sources are in that wagon?
"What? Did you suddenly move it? Um... it's hard to understand because there are so many people around... but one thing, right?
(Alone? Are you sure they're amateurs? Or someone else in the diversion.....)
There is also the danger of another squad approaching while you put down an “easy to understand" enemy and keep an eye on you. Reurus, who decided so, smiled as he returned to the carriage with Ruvillia.
"Let's go sightseeing and fashion in King's Landing!
Reurus raised his voice to make others hear him, shutting the door and having Sebastian take the carriage out. Then he turned his gaze from the window to the outside at the confused Ruvillia - and noticed that the carriage that had stopped was coming after him.
