Arafoo Otoko no Isekai Tsuuhan Seikatsu

Episode 204 Lord's Jealousy

I was visiting a port town called Odamaki to build a ship, but I was tempted by it.

Thanks to Carldon, who stayed at the ship's carpenter's place and arranged the design meeting.

He still had a lot to ask, but the carpenter's master made him cry.

Carldon must have heard about root digging and leaf digging.

Whatever it is, I've come to the forefront of the big job I've done in this city.

All that remains is a meeting with the lord of this city.

I'm currently waiting for a response from Shuro, the city's biggest shop.

Though I have spoken to you before, the lord is also busy, so he will not reply soon.

I stayed in Shuro's mansion for about four days, one day...

Shuro came to me with an answer.

"The Lord's Baron Hanamizuki will see you?

Yes, I was very interested in Kenichi's ship.

Nothing is secret about the boat.

Rumors will soon spread among the city's carpenters as they show them their core motors.

Making is simple, but because it is a magic tool, it cannot be easily imitated.

Originally Golem magic, it is impossible for city wizards to make it to enter a fairly high class of magic.

Anemone is out of the standard because even though she is young, she can demonstrate her genius abilities and easily make such magic equipment.

We can't all go to the lord and make him feel bad.

Besides, the aristocracy of this city is on the cliff.

To get there, you have to go up the stairs installed on the cliff, so you can't use your usual car.

I think off-road motorcycles can go up stairs, but blowing up stairs that people in the city use can be annoying.

No matter how aristocratic you have become, you must be careful what you like very much.

Only the guard Amaransus will take you.

I have also obtained permission from the lord to accompany her, who is currently a slave.

Even though I have become a nobleman, it seems that there is a bias against the nobleman, and I think it needs to be changed.

There seems to be an imprint of the former world that noble equals are terrible.

When I heard from Marlowe and Primura, it seemed that some of the nobles were like that - some of them had partnered with Shaga to take Primura.

The lord here seems to distinguish himself from such a person.

The city is thriving when you look at it, and politics (festivals) are doing well, and residents don't seem to be dissatisfied.

This will not be the case with nobles who are incompetent.

The rank is Baron, but he seems to be a weirdo who has refused the Count many times.

"I'm coming too!

It is Anemone who is scratching her hair.

"Yes, yes, no. Stay with me."

"Phew."

You can take her as a guardian wizard, or you can use the Golem to easily climb the cliff stairs.

If I could use a car, I could take it with me.

Well, tell Anemone to be patient.

Her cheeks were swollen, but she understood.

It's a tough time.

I didn't have any sisters and I didn't have that kind of experience, so it's a little difficult to handle.

For now, we are dealing with Anemone by referring to the opinions of Primura and Amana.

Amaranthus is too special for reference.

If you change into good clothes, you'll drive to the noble city.

The cliff stairs can't be run by car, but you can use the car until you get to the cliff.

Once you're there, just put the car in the item BOX.

Together, the merchant Shuro and his daughter Kyoko accompany him.

Amaranthus is in the passenger seat today.

I'll be right there.

"Welcome."

I was escorted by Primura and Margaret.

Murray and Nyamena are playing with beasts gathered for the purpose of bells and lizards.

I care about them, but I have to go to the lord because the time is up.

The beasts' arbitration turned to Akira.

"Akira, I'm sorry. I asked."

"Okay. Well, that's the usual one, right?

Well... Please. "

The Beasts have a habit of wanting to flock under strong leaders.

If you have a forest cat and you have multiple beast mistresses, it's normal for us to think about it as well.

When you leave Shuro Mansion, you'll walk down a narrow street under the blue sky and white clouds.

The slopes are lined with white walls that add to the city's scenery.

Looking a little sideways, Amaranthus is smiling.

Amaranthus, you look delighted.

"That's not true! I've always wanted to sit next to the Holy Knight."

"Then why don't you insist on a real room instead of a slave? You can do it."

"Well, that's...."

Well, there must be a reason.

"There's no reason. That's not all my concubine did."

I think you can hear this conversation in the back, but Shuro's parents and children won't know what it is.

I put Amaranthus in the passenger seat, and after running for a while, I saw a cliff.

The cliffs are cut out and the diagonal zigzag, which is solidified with the same material as the white wall, continues to the summit.

The width is less than 1 and a half meters. I see, this only allows a small horse to climb up.

There are also many beasts who are carrying their luggage up.

When I got out of the car with everyone, I put the Iron Summoner in Item BOX.

Below the stairs are the stables and garages of the nobles.

I think I'll get off here and change to a carriage.

"Heh, this is amazing. Natural fortress."

For the defense of war - it makes sense to build a noble city on this terrain.

Many castles in the former world were also built on hills.

The cliffs are about 15 meters taller than the cliffs in Sakura.

There are many white birds flying around, nesting and breeding on the cliffs.

"Fortress - that's exactly right."

"Maybe we should make the cliffs in Sakura look like this and build a noble city on top."

"This is what Kenichi's territory looks like.

Shuro asks about Sakura.

"Ah, there's a high ground soon, but it's quite spacious. Have you ever heard of a terrace seen from Astrantia?

"When the flat mountains last forever....."

"That's it."

"There seems to be a city in the Empire that is divided by steps."

Kyoko tells us about the Empire.

I'm sure it's easy to live apart, but seeing this staircase makes it difficult to move around.

Shuro, who came with me, has bad legs.

They're paying the horse under the stairs to get him on a small horse that can climb the stairs.

There are plenty of pony horses, carrying people and luggage around the stairs.

Some beasts will carry it, but others will resist it.

I'm fine, and even though the beasts are treasured here, there are quite a few of them looking down at them.

"I'm trading with the Empire, so will I get information about the Empire?"

"Yes"

"If the ship I'm thinking about succeeds, and if we can build something bigger, we can get more trade."

Shuro walks on his horse, and we follow him.

"You don't have to wait for the wind anyway."

Shuro's parents and children explain the route of the sea.

"Depending on the moon, it often becomes a moon."

Conversely, there is a possibility that the ship will not be able to leave the port when the storm arrives, or that it may be grounded.

Trading along the coast, rather than offshore, seems to be rarely distressed.

"Few, but what caused the distress?

It's a sea beast.

"A sea beast, for example?

"After all, the greatest wonder is Sea Surpent."

Sea Surpent - it seems to be a sea dragon.

If there are dragons flying in the sky, then there are dragons in the sea.

Sure, that sucks.

In the middle of the stairs, he crosses with the beasts of the Mukimki man carrying his backpack.

They wear a simple leather vest on their shorts, but they are often dressed like this.

"Oops!?

The moment they passed each other, the beasts raised their voices and looked back.

"What?

I also turned around to stop the legs from going up, but the beasts stopped by and twitched my body alternately.

"Does this smell like a forest cat?

Is the smell of a forest cat characteristic?

"Oh, we have a forest cat."

And she smells good.

"Well, there are some nice women."

"Can I go and see my husband?

"Haha, that's not going to be a problem. Even now, the beasts are pushing me and I'm in trouble."

They retreated when they told him that the place they were staying was Shuro, the merchant of the big store.

"Eh!? Such a great place to take care of....."

"Because I'm noble."

Oh, I'm so glad to hear that.

Even if it looked a little better, the nobleman who smelled the beast woman didn't look noble.

And no beast knows Shuro's name while carrying his luggage.

If you get in trouble, you'll lose your job.

Saying goodbye to the beasts, he started climbing the stairs again.

But you still smell like a forest cat.

Every time you take a bath or magically clean it up, Bell and the Beasts pee.

But it's a long staircase.

Because I have blessings, automatic healing (heel) works when I'm tired - but I'm hungry.

Remove the calorie bar from the item BOX and grind it.

"Is Amaranthus okay?

It's okay.

She's got a lot of exercise.

I have thought about it before, but I wonder if she also has the power of blessing.

Lilith's ability to bless others, but does Amaranthus have the power to bless himself?

"What about Kyoko?

"I'm fine! The inhabitants of this city have lived with the slopes since their birth."

I think my ankles are pretty strong.

It took about ten minutes to go up the stairs.

It's pretty tough, but if I do this every day, I think I'll get a lot of health.

Should I climb the Sakura Cliff every day?

After climbing the cliff, I get out of the car again.

I can see the walls and gates about 100 meters away, but Shuro's legs are bad, so it's better to get in the car.

Kenichi's Iron Summoner is incredibly useful.

"You're free to let it out or pull it in."

"I wish there was something like that in this city....."

"A wizard can use a golem with his permission."

"Such magicians rarely come here, and even if they want to use golem for architecture, it takes months to get permission from the state."

"I'm a frontier man, so I can use the Golem?

"Isn't that right?

Shuro was surprised to hear my story.

Everyone knows that the state needs permission to launch the Golem, but it seems less known that the Border Guard has the authority to do so.

"You have a little devil teacher with you, don't you? She has the same abilities as the Great Mage of King's Landing."

"Oh my God, that kid...."

"She's so angry when she says she's a kid, don't tell her."

"Uhh... I understand."

"And you saw the trick of using magic tools to advance the ship, right? If you use it on a carriage, you can move it without a horse."

"Is it true?

Ah.

I don't know how much torque the core motor has, but if we can develop gears, we should be able to climb the ramp.

Or use a core motor for a regular carriage, like an electric bicycle assist.

When we all get in the car, we head for the noble city.

It takes about 100 meters to reach the stone gate immediately. Unlike the rest of the country, there are white joints between stone and stone.

It seems that there is a city within the walls of the castle.

There are guards, so they are parked and peeked at by soldiers wearing leather armor.

I don't wear a helmet, but I hold a spear in my hand and a sword in my hips.

It looks hot when it's equipped, but is it okay?

"A merchant shroud? What about this iron ride?

Shuro is a celebrity, and he must be in and out of here.

It seems that the gatekeeper remembers his face.

"This is an Iron Summon Beast made with the magic of Uncle Frontier."

"Summoner?

"Kenichi Hamada. I've come to see Baron Hanamizuki, who will rule here."

The guards who listened to me became immobile.

"This is Uncle Frontier! We're getting in touch!

Is the order coming to such a gatekeeper properly?

This territory is made up of chickens.

Can you do this with my help?

Anyway, I need Lilith and Amaranthus to help me.

That's a noble city. Fine mansions lined with gardens and beautiful white, red-roofed buildings.

There were many square, flat roofed houses downstairs, but noble city buildings had roofs.

It's not that big, so I wonder if it's about 30 buildings in size.

It's a lot different from the rest of the country.

When I asked Shuro, he said he had stoned it and then applied white concrete on top of it.

That's not true.

"Do you know what kind of paint is used for the red roof?

I was worried about the red roof, so I asked Shuro in the back, but Kyoko answered.

"Master Kenichi, we're crushing and mixing red stones out of the sea."

Is red a coral?

"That's a precious thing...."

"There's a lot to dive in the ocean, but only the nobles use it because it's difficult to process."

"Well, in a normal house, practicality is more important than decoration....."

We arrived at the White Walled Lord's Mansion in the center of the city.

White walls and red roofs are as beautiful as other mansions.

Say hello to the doorman. He wears leather armor just like the gatekeeper on the outside walls.

"Kenichi Hamada. I came to see Baron Hanamizuki."

"Welcome to Hamada Border Master. The Lord is waiting for you."

"Thank you."

He drove straight through the garden and arrived at the entrance of the roofed mansion.

The black door welcomed us, but it still won't open.

Get out of the car and look across the garden.

Ordinary mansions have gardens with flower fields, but there is nothing here.

In addition to the white cobblestones on the road, lawn-like greenery spreads.

This is beautiful, though.

Inspired by the blue of the lawn, the door of the tree opened.

A young woman with light black skin wearing a long black maid's clothes came out.

is putting black hair together and putting on glasses.

I told him that I had come to see the Baron.

"Please come here."

Entering the first floor, there are stairs on both sides of the entrance hall.

It is a place that is different from many other regions, but the creation seems to be common.

Even though it is white, it is not marble, so it is not super luxurious, but it is still beautiful.

The floor is covered with a red carpet, and the contrast between red and white also makes the Japanese feel somewhat happy.

I was guided to the guest room on the left side of the hall.

Here too, a red carpet is laid in a room with white walls.

Low square tables and couches, different materials used, but similar styles?

Since wood is valuable here, furniture and other items seem to be of better quality inland.

When I sat on the sofa, my maid brought me a drink in a white vessel.

Take a sip - the mouth like a mint is a cold Susie tea.

I drink tea with Shuro's parents and children, but Amaranthus stands behind me.

The maid knew at a glance that she was a slave, so there was no tea for Amaranthus.

Would you like a drink?

……

Shut up, and I'll let you drink the cup close to her mouth.

It's delicious.

"Holy Knight, if you do this to a slave, you'll doubt your integrity, huh?

"Hahaha, I don't mind."

Nobility doesn't matter to me.

Mint - If you want mint, you can buy mint seedlings at Shangri-La, but mint will explode to the point of being called a biological weapon.

I can't plant it in a random way.

When I say that, the chrysanthemum that I am trying to use for slime control is also bad.

Looking over a white-walled room while drinking tea.

"Where is the lime mine used here?

"It is located a few leagues (5-6 km) away from this noble city"

Is it on this hill?

"No - there is a cliff down the hill and a cave there"

The city side is a cliff, but the other side seems to be a gentle slope.

It's a mine, isn't it?

"Yes"

The mine is connected to the sea, carrying lime and descending as-is, using ships to bring it to the city of Odamaki or export it to the Empire.

The door opened when I was drinking tea while talking.

Coming in was a dark-haired man, about 30 years old, wearing a black cloak and gold thread.

Look at Pat, his eyebrows are thick - he looks like a fierce bloodthirsty man.

There are a lot of dark-haired residents in this city.

We stood on the couch.

"Welcome aboard, Master Border."

"It's the first time I've seen you. Kenichi Hamada. It's an honor to meet Lord Odamaki, who has a reputation in the South."

The baron saw Shuro's parents and children in a flash.

I don't think they need to say hello because they know each other, but the Baron's eyes stopped at Amaranthus behind me.

"She is a slave to my escort. I think I got permission beforehand....."

"Dear Amaranthus?!

It's been a long time, Baron.

"Why is Amaranthus behind you?!

"Why? That's why I'm a concubine now."

She pointed to the slave crest on her neck.

The clearly hostile gaze of the baron who saw it turned towards me.

"It's not like I'm forcing you to..."

Exactly. This is my concubine's will. "

The baron stares at me with a face he's about to cut off.

I don't have a sword, so you won't have to worry about getting cut, and perhaps even if you were equipped - Amaranthus is faster than his sword.

When the tension ran between the two of them, Shuro's parents and children warmed up and managed to open their mouths.

"Um... Baron"

The baron raised his voice to block it.

"Please take it back."

"I can't help it. Just a gift...."

……

The baron won't say "yes" to my words. [M]

I realized I couldn't do this and decided to go back to camp.

The baron left early without seeing us off, and it seems that only the maid will see us off.

Everyone gets in when they put a circle in the front door.

When I sat down in my seat, I sighed.

"Hmm...."

……

Amaranthus is staring at me.

"Maybe the Baron had some special feelings for you."

"I've spoken a few times, but...."

There's a word for love at first sight, even a few times or once.

"Do you have negative feelings for me as I grow up?

"Even so, His Majesty gave him the rank of Border Master. If you are dissatisfied with it, that is, disloyalty to Your Majesty."

"Uh-unh, what the hell is this?

"I knew the Baron and Amaranthus, but you didn't like me enslaving her."

"What....."

I'm going to the castle because I'm a lord, and I don't think it's strange to know Amaranthus, but I still know in one shot...

"Does that mean the Baron's jealousy?

Kyoko pokes at the core.

"Well, I guess so.

"I know the Baron - who is he...?

Kyoko is staring at Amaranthus.

"Ask when the Baron is in a good mood. But don't say anything else."

"Yes"

"But without the help of the Baron, there's a lot of trouble...."

Shuro seems to be worried about business.

If you think you've dug a big mountain, it looks like you've suddenly had an accident.

"Are you interrupted from building a ship?

"No, the hyena won't forgive it."

That parent may be a nobleman, but that's fine.

"I'm sorry I got into Shuro's Chamber of Commerce. I didn't know this was gonna happen...."

"The Baron was also very brave... but now..."

Once again, three people go down the cliff stairs, and the poor shroud rides a small horse.

We're running out of time for that.

I came out of nowhere, something... yeah.

"Can you see the red stone on the roof?

"In that case, I'm dealing with a merchant I know....."

Take me there.

"Yes, sir."

Climb down the cliff stairs, get out of the car again, and everyone gets in.

With Shuro's guidance, I arrived at a white-walled warehouse along the coast.

This white building appears to be a warehouse and shop.

Shuro enters the warehouse first to negotiate.

Suddenly, a stranger may not show me.

Well, I wish I could use the might of the nobles - I don't want to do that much.

Shroud's coming out - it looks like it's okay.

When I entered the warehouse with him, it was dark inside.

The light is coming in through a small window, so I guess I'm just not used to it.

In the warehouse, there is a pile of stones.

There are four small mountains.

Is that you? Do you like seeing things like this?

It was dark and unconscious, but a naked man in the upper half of the sun welcomed me.

You have a black, short head that looks like a flicker.

"Oh, it's unusual because I'm from inland."

"Ha, you can dive in here for as long as you want."

"I've seen a red carriage before, but is this what it's used for?

That's right. The paint in it won't fade, so it's treasured by what you put outdoors. "

There are also exports like this, but because paint is a luxury product, it seems that it cannot be sold very much.

Take it in your hand - a pile of flat red stones stretches like a crumbling matte.

Uh-huh

Doesn't this guy get paid?
