I’m an Adventurer! ~Musou Skill is Plane Magic~
Episode 172 ~ Exoticism... No, it's not like that ~
And when the chemo ears were numbered unto two hundred and ninety-three, the carriage came into the harbor, breaking the flock of goats (but the dog ears and the cat ears). It is a luxurious black painted carriage with four drawers. Before and after that, there are several soldiers and men who look like prostheses. Looks like you've been picked up.
Welcome, Baron Face! My country welcomes you.....
If you'll excuse me, I can hear you without making a loud noise. Please speak normally.
A tall, gray-haired, dog-eared elderly man stepping out of a carriage talks to us loudly. Because I have short hair and medium back, it is somehow like a Kishu dog. It's a thick voice that goes through a lot, but there's a flat magic microphone and a speaker, so you don't have to shout. I thought you might be a little rude, but I'll interrupt and encourage you to speak normally.
Was this... no, was it the wizard? Thank you for your patience. Once again, we welcome you. Please join us as we offer you a little hospitality.
It hurts politely. I will gladly accept it. I'd like to unload the carriage before that, but could you please provide me with a plaza where I can unload the carriage? And along the way, I ran into a bandit, and I'm hunting it down. I'd appreciate it if you could call the police officer.
What!? Thank you for your rudeness! I'll call the guards right away, so please wait! I will open this shoreline for unloading, so I hope you can unload it here. The rest will be done by our people.
Grandpa Keizhou is staring down. I'm terrified enough to see it from afar. It's okay, I'm not going to tease the wanker (except for the bandits).
Oh, in this country, I'm going to be a very kind person. It's the sanctuary of the Mohrist.
◇
Giganto suddenly disappeared, and despite that, the carriages and humans floating in space surprised all the people gathered in the harbor. "Illusion!" No, it's just a slippery feeling. You're right not to do it.
Both the baggage unloaded on the shoreline and the bandits will be left to the knights, and we will enter the city of Minora under the leadership of Grandpa Kishu. Grandpa Kishu is the second best foreign minister in the country in the position of assistant minister on the right. It's a big one. His name is Murdoch-Gavan.
Mr. Murdoch told me to ride in the carriage with him, but I got a stubborn rhetoric that some of my subordinates only listen to me. The truth is, Mr. Murdoch didn't want to ride the carriage because it was a carriage that looked uncomfortable without suspension. All my children are good listeners. My buttocks hurt.
The city of Minora is still cluttered from the inside. The road where the soil is bare and unpaved is only as wide as two carriages can pass each other. It looks like this is the main street of the city.
On both sides of the road, wooden two-storey and three-storey houses are lined up. There are alleys where people differ from place to place, and houses are erected behind them. It's like a giant maze lined up with walls that you can't see from behind. I'm sure you'll get lost if you don't get used to this. I have a map that uses cameras, so I'm fine.
Each house doesn't seem to be that wide, and the doors are narrow. There are things that lead to the creation of townhouses in Kyoto. That's why it's an atmosphere that reminds me of Japan. The windows are also lattice windows. I wonder if the roof is not tiled but slated. The mushrooms will grow if I don't replace them regularly.
And the hygiene doesn't seem to be very good. Occasionally there is a stinking smell coming from the alley. There must be trash and dirt left behind. In the Kingdom, magic tools to deal with such things have become somewhat popular among the civilian population, but since Ende seems to have been a turbulent warring state era in small countries only a few decades ago, the infrastructure may not have recovered yet. There's a cleaner (slime) in the countryside, so it's still better. Often in this world, big cities are more filthy than the countryside, a strange reversal phenomenon. I'm afraid of getting sick.
The inhabitants of the city are as cheap as the harbor horses. About 70% of the total is chemistry ears. However, when the canine ear and the cat ear are separated, the canine ear is about four, the cat ear is about three, and the others are about three, and the canine ear is slightly more numerous. I'm sure the King is a dog beast, so it might have something to do with that. Because dogs are a herd of creatures.
When the carriage was driven long enough, a splendid earthen wall and gate emerged that were different from the others. It's like a temple or a samurai mansion with white lacquered walls. The thick wooden gate is open, and soldiers with spears stand on the left and right. It's like a samurai mansion of the time drama. The roof of the wall is not tile, it's planked, and the soldier's armor is not round, but a leather bra.
Following Mr. Murdoch's carriage, our carriage also went through the gate and into the wall, but the soldiers just gave me a glimpse and didn't say anything. There must have been a notice in advance. Looks like the chain of command is solid.
A cobblestone path through the gate stretched straight ahead, and a heavy wooden entrance was seen. Apparently this is the royal palace, the castle. Hmm, correction. When I looked at the gate, I thought it was like a samurai mansion, but not like this, this is the samurai mansion itself. A pure Japanese-style wooden bungalow. The front door is a sliding door, not a door, and the cobblestone path is a garden with persimmons and cherry blossoms on the left and right.
It's an unusual architectural style.
"Bandeau-style architecture. It's a Bandeau building all the way east of here. The king of this country is originally from the Bandeau region."
Oh, Argna is so clever! Well, Argna was from this country. I've never heard where they're from, but they might be from Mignola.
"Bandeau is a barbaric place where small lords compete all the time. That's why the Mansion is built to fight. The dark green leaves planted there add yellow fruit in autumn. The thin green leafy trees over there give red fruit at the beginning of the summer. You can eat both, so it'll be a good addition to the cage castle."
"Oh, you're adding fruit that can be eaten. But now that it's the summer season, you won't get either. I'm sorry."
Hmm, is cherry blossom a real cherry blossom, not a flower cherry blossom? Persimmons don't look like tomatoes, but like sweet persimmons. I haven't eaten either in a long time. Why don't we get the seeds and go home and plant them? Ah, but since it's called three years of peach chestnut persimmon, it's only eight years from now that you can plant it. Can we wait till then? I don't think it's better to take home seedlings that have grown to some extent.
"You must be tired from your long journey. Please relax in this room for a moment. We'll guide you to the room you're staying in when you're ready."
When we left the carriage with the Martin, we were taken to the reception room in the corner of the main house. The building was pure Japanese-style, but the room was not a tatami mat on a boulder, it was a board room. The sofa and table are set up instead of a cushion. It feels strange just because it's basically Japanese-style architecture. Is this normal in this country?
"This is... there's paper on the window. The light outside is softly plugging in... so it's not dark."
"What if it rains, me? Why don't you tear it up?
"There's another window on the outside. Close it when it rains or at night."
Everyone seems uncomfortable with unusual architecture and is looking around. Don't break the barrier.
The wonder that Argna, who usually takes the initiative to tear it, is the biggest one this time. Ende is a strange country.
