I’m an Adventurer! ~Musou Skill is Plane Magic~
Episode 70: The First King's City, The First Bath
"Central", the capital of the "Kingdom of the West Midlands", which can be seen from above the sea, was surrounded by soft morning light projected from a thin cloud gap. Finally arrived.
The first impression of King's Landing was "big" and "white". The stretch of the city was made of white stone European architecture. It's like a Mediterranean tourist destination. I've never been there.
I've never known the name of this country before on board. It's a country where I was born and raised, but I usually only say kingdom. "How could you not know such common sense so that you could know strange things? Kikka stunned me. I can't help it, I'm still a kid and a country monkey.
The ship entered Central South Port two days behind schedule. Because I was stuck at sea when I ran into a boat a day away from King's Landing. It would be great if I stood on the ocean. Ah, I'll stand up. That's amazing.
Otherwise, the voyage was smooth. Including the appearance of pirates.
Incidentally, there is a south port, so I thought there might be a north port, but there is only a south port. Why not?
"Well, Mr. Vincent, I'll see you at this port in the morning five days.
"Yes, thank you, Beat. Thank you for everything.
I'm Vincent the peddler. A substantial merchant in the village of Dantes. Looks a little skinny, but it doesn't seem to have any health problems.
Mr Vincent was caught with the pirates. A pirate attacked the ship on the way back from Border Sets to Dorton. The ship was sunk and the men were killed leaving Mr. Vincent behind. Only the women and Vincent survived, the pirates' comforters, and Vincent was used as a caterer. Those women and Mr. Vincent were in the barn.
"I would regret killing me if I could cook delicious food," he said, desperately selling it in without shame or audience, but if I lived, I would win. I'm not ashamed at all.
"I've lived longer thanks to the Dantes (barbecue) and ketchup. I can't thank Beat enough for rescuing me and returning my stolen property. Thank you very much.
"I've been thanking you so many times. I can't leave the village without Mr. Vincent, so it's no other HR for me. It's only natural to help your family.
Mr Vincent tells me thanks for not knowing how many times. If you tell me so much, I'm afraid on the contrary.
So far, only Mr. Vincent has been able to make a trip to Dantes Village. If the Vincent disappears, the village will no longer be supplied with salt and household goods. It's a matter of life and death. Even though I left home, I don't want my mom and dad to have a hard time.
Vincent was robbed of his possession by pirates, but I returned it all. Originally it belonged to us who crushed the pirates, but if Mr. Vincent goes bankrupt, the village is in danger. Return was a natural process.
Mr. Vincent will accompany us to King's Landing and will return to Dorton with us as passengers from King's Landing. We had a track record of defeating pirates. We have already negotiated with the merchant shipowner.
The merchant ship owner is in a good mood. Because the contract to buy a ship from us that was taken from the pirates has been put together so that we can expand our business.
What a huge 1,500 gold coins to buy! It is not an accurate indicator because prices are different, but it is about 1.5 billion yen in Japanese yen. It's a lot of money like winning a lottery twice, but it seems like building a large ship would cost about 10,000 gold coins in the first place. Even used ships are cheap if they have 1,500 large gold coins. In the first place, they can't get large ships even if they want them because they have few buildings.
Kikka, of course, paid the price, but I restrained it and put the deal together. Instead, I got a contract in the name of the Chamber of Commerce so that if there was anything I wanted, it would be accommodated as a matter of priority. I ordered a souvenir for Samantha and Daisy, who were answering the phone. Fabrics and threads that are popular in King's Landing, a set of sewing tools, and then a loom, a variety of vegetable seeds and breeding books, and a set of agricultural tools.
As a merchant ship owner, he did not lose, but rather was able to connect with promising adventurers in the future, so he replied. It's good that it's good for both sides. A guy named WIN-WIN.
Incidentally, the name of the Chamber of Commerce is the Toneriko Chamber of Commerce, and the head of the Chamber is Toneriko, the owner of the merchant ship, who has the same name as the Chamber. It's easy to remember, but it wasn't a cat. Unfortunately, you look just like me.
"What are you going to do about Mr. Vincent until he sails?
"That's right... it's the king's capital in the corner. I don't know what kind of business opportunities there are, so I try to look around the markets and shops as much as possible.
I've just had a terrible experience, but I can't believe you're thinking about your next business. Stream stone is a frontier merchant, not a half-way.
The pirates didn't have any particular base. In addition to the captured people and food from the warehouse, a large quantity of the goods seized thus far came out. In addition to coins such as silver and gold coins, weapon armor, ceramics, gold and silver ornaments, magic stones, etc. According to Kikka and the merchant shipowner, it would be worth about 500 large gold coins even if they were quoted less.
There are many opportunities to get a lot of money from leaving the village that I have never seen before, and it seems like my sense of money is going crazy.
◇
The guild in King's Landing was unexpectedly small. The white stone exterior is the same as the surrounding area, with three floors and a small mixed-use building. I think it's too small for the head office of a domestic guild, but it seems that there is little demand for adventurers in King's Landing in the first place. The security forces are specialized, and the monsters around them are almost gone because they are being hunted. There is no magic in the neighborhood. I have a miscellaneous request, but it seems to be handed over to a good offices office near the slums for poor relief.
I think the Alliance of King's Landing was busier in Lanobe... but this is the reality. If you think about it, it is strange to say that the King's Capital has a high demand for adventurers whose main task is to defeat monsters. What kind of magical city is that?
Since the main task here is to carry out administrative and human resources work, there is probably no need for a large building. Quite reasonable and impressive. I would also like you to take an apprentice to the Japanese bureau, which makes waste of boxes and things.
It took me a long time to report to the Alliance. He handed over the chopped pirates' heads and heads, protected the women who were being held captive, and assessed the recovered treasure, but when it was over, the sun was passing through the middle of the sky and it was dusk. I came as soon as I had breakfast. Besides, it's not the end, but I was told to come again tomorrow because I want to talk about rewards and buying. Mendokusai.
Coming down from the reception room on the second floor to the idle lobby on the first floor. A bulletin board with only two receptions and neglected requests. Naturally, there are few adventurers. The waiting space is cramped, and there are no bars here, so no one drinks.
Leaving a little unexpected loneliness behind the King's City Alliance. Christella and the others looked a little suspicious, but I don't understand this feeling.
◇
On that day, I rented a suite of slightly upgraded accommodation in King's Landing, a four-storey top floor room for six families. What a price and a big overnight gold coin. A typical inn can be as expensive as a large silver coin per person per night, so you can see how luxurious it is. But it was worth it in this inn. Because it had a bath with a tub!
This is the first time I've been reincarnated into this world and taken a bath. On the contrary, I've never seen a bath before. The commoner doesn't have a habit of bathing. You may not even know the existence of a bath. It will take a lot of time to prepare, and it will be a long time before it is widely disseminated.
I'll go in early before dinner. As for my husband, it is the best bath. When I asked for reception, an employee (probably a slave) filled the bathtub with a bucket of hot water. This is a hard job. Thank you very much.
The hot tub is not that big. Metal, possibly bronze, bathtub with legs, occasionally seen in old Western paintings. The embellishments on the edges smell luxurious. It's a luxury after all.
Bold the toilet with hot water and cover your head. This world is unrivalled in luxury. Unfortunately, there is no soap or shampoo. The skin is only rubbed with a rough cloth, and the hair is rubbed and flushed by dissolving the wheat lid in water. It will be quite beautiful, but there is still a subtle dissatisfaction with washing up. I'll make soap in time. If we just use it ourselves instead of selling it, it won't have any impact on the public. Let's make a bath in the building.
When I was washing my hair with that in mind, the door leading to the dressing room opened and Christella came in. She was completely naked.
... eh?
"Mr. Beat, I'm going to flush your back!
"Wow!? What!? Why are you coming in?! Clothes?
"It is not the privilege of slaves to wash your husband's back... but one of the tasks. Besides, you can take off your clothes and enter the bath.
Christella comes in with a smile. Hide it. What privilege?! Besides, my eyes are focused on my lower body instead of my back!?
"No, no, it's okay, I can do it alone!
Turn your body and hide My Sun from Christella's gaze. I'm a little scared of Christella's smile.
"I can't. Travel stains are surprisingly stubborn. Besides, I've decided the order.
"Ju, what's the order!?
They say it's my turn to take a bath with me during my stay in King's Landing. It seems that Christella took away the first day with the privilege of slave head. Does that mean you're going to take a bath with everyone one at a time!?
"... you don't want to come in with me?
I can't refuse to look so sad! I'm just embarrassed in the first place, and I'm really not happy about it!
Usually, unfortunate behavior stands out, but Christella is rarely a beautiful girl. It is a definite level of seller idol or charisma model in the previous life. I lived a little adventurous and burned in the sun, but my skin was white and stylish.
Such a beautiful girl wants to take a bath with her, there's no way she can refuse. It won't be a reason to say no to my shame.
"... okay. Can you flush your back, please?
"Yes!! Happy!!
She replied with the best smile ever since we started adventuring together. Well, it's good to be admired.
Afterwards, not only my back but also various places were washed. For some reason, I washed them, and soaked them in a hot tub. I will lay down the details, but I will only report that the middle size is not bad and that the line was not exceeded.
I don't know what it means for a 7-year-old!
