Level 99 First Territorial Management by Adventurers
3. When Two (Medium)
There are no walls in Falve.
Instead, creatures with evil phases are ostracized by the Wall of Virtue, a barrier to evil phase exclusion that Valtrude and Alcia have ritualized and deployed around them, and the security of the city is preserved.
Nevertheless, it's not like there are no gatekeepers. East, west, north and south entrances - there are no walls, so they are installed at connections from city to street - to the extent that formal checks are carried out, though.
There is also no city tax, so there is only enough work to control obviously suspicious people such as bounty necks placed on other lands or to make sure illegal goods are not brought in.
But the gatekeepers equipped with matching leather armor and spears were diligent.
Juut and Valtrude, lined up in rows of about 10 people waiting to enter the city, observe the first of their jobs.
Of course, keep your hands together.
I don't have a high pressure attitude, I ask sorry, I check my luggage quickly and send it out with a smile. He was also answering a few questions properly.
I don't need to do that now, but I've received several reports that I've captured a suspicious person, and I stand on my arm.
That's right, I've just passed Valtrude's interview.
Despite this, Yut was smiling bitterly.
"Something. Isn't this a punch test?
"Oh, yeah. But isn't that what patience is all about?
"I do have a point..."
Besides, I just unintentionally encountered it on my way out on a date, so I can't wait.
Both of the gatekeepers were honestly encouraging in their duties, and it could be said salvation that neither caution nor disposition was needed.
"Welcome to Falve"
Like NPC. But the two of us are greeted by a dialogue we can't say otherwise. Just get your hands off me and get checked.
I didn't even introduce Magic Sensing (Sense Magic), so I was able to enter the city without anything because I was never found out who I was, and I had very little luggage.
Once again, we hold hands from either side - but the act makes us aware of the situation and feelings again, making us unable to remain normal minds.
(It's okay, it's okay. I don't hate Valko, either. At least they haven't been rejected...... should be)
Yuut's gaze shakes because he comes and goes as strong and weak as Seesaw, after all, he is embarrassed.
Second, sand and silver under my feet got into my eyes.
"You're staying right, this"
"It would be obvious. We did the ritual."
That's just two people talking to each other in a whisper.
He stopped straight and once again looked at the silver line painted in the ditch. There are other people doing similar things, so it's not particularly noticeable.
"Speaking of which, you know what? Rumors that if you walk around this ditch, your wish will come true"
"Oh...... Well, isn't that good? It's just a spell for us, but that's what faith is all about."
"It's not in your interest."
"We should be talking about faith."
Rather than Valtrude, the views on faith are not at odds with the human beings of Yut and the Brewers. But "well, now," I stopped going in deep.
It's just a catalyst.
"That's what faith is."
Walk to Falve with the good Valtrude.
"But I can't imagine this place was nothing but ruins a year ago."
The city, which Yut has zoned out, has several buildings built and streets maintained at the hands of the Dwarves, still vibrant while still under construction.
No, it's the heat because it's growing.
Even now, construction continues there, and the opening of stores that meet the demand of those engaged in it… creates a good circulation.
"It's just that it's mostly a bungalow, but I'm worried about it in the future."
"I have no choice. It was just hard to get the water upstairs or above."
I leave the design of the building mostly to the craftsmen and builders. The demarcation was not so strict either, but particular attention was paid to the maintenance of sewers.
"Sure, I know the water supply is convenient, but when we expand the city, we'll have another ritual of" The Wall of Evil Phase Exclusion "... it's good, but we're out of money"
"You just have to make money. You can do this without me, right?
Valtrude smiled bitterly at the solution, which was too lucid.
Each building is equipped with a primitive sewer and a toilet for washing water, albeit in a constantly flowing format.
The water is supplied from a ceramic sewer installed in advance underground and the drainage is channelled into the sewage. The ceramics were prepared at the same time with the spell of "Earth Ringing (Move Earth)," for no further reason.
As far as construction was concerned, the Dwarves' skills and efforts, including the Tordeks, were mobilized in total. I managed to take shape after the hard work, but "I thought it was a good job..." I can still remember Trudek's bitter laughter. Next, I can't forget the face of the moment I said it was because I would build the same facility for Hardenturm and Mainz.
The water supply runs from the Lady River, which runs by the city. The sewage is sent from Falve to a storage pond a few kilometres away, where it is purified before being flushed to the river.
For purification, the divine magic Food Purification (Purifying) was used.
Primary divine magic that purifies rotten food and drinking water. A spell that can also be described as mercy that does not waste precious grace but brings salvation from hunger and dryness.
In response to the idea of purifying sewage with a filter that demonized it, Arcia seemed unconvinced that "this is some sort of blasphemy…" but Yut intentionally ignored it.
There will be no god for the people to be happy and complain.
"Well, it's something I can do because I have money."
Yut crushes as he continues down the city's boulevard.
The road is wide and in the future the track for the carriage railway is going to run in the centre. The road depicted a somewhat curved surface, which provided a mechanism for rainwater to flow into the side ditch.
Street lights are also installed at intervals of about 10 meters, which also plays a role in the promotion of bold iron (crystal iron).
"It's not just a purifier."
"That's true, but isn't it a good thing that life gets richer? What are you so unhappy about?
Valtrude, sensitive to the thorns in the words, asks Yut.
"No, think you're as great as the man thinks you are."
"Oh, you said it first. No matter how much money we have, there's no way an adventurer like us can do anything against the country."
"Great people have a lot of things, a lot of things."
Yut laughs bitterly at Valtrude for trying to wage war on nobility.
In fact - which is now rather diminishing - the assets in their possession are comparable to a few percent of the national budget. What happens if it is linked to the force of a hero?
You don't really want to imagine.
It therefore gave it a high status by the time it was unnatural and ordered territorial development.
The Yuts also obeyed the situation after understanding it.
In a way, it can be said that an accomplice relationship had been established.
"Well, you didn't expect me to be this far in the short term."
That summed up the story, and the two moved to the southeast of the city early enough. This southeastern block is set as a commercial district, and the Chamber of Commerce's opening rush continues from within and outside Count Istas territory.
But the destination is not there.
Further inside the city.
The market, which is also visible from the fortress of Falve, is the destination for the two of us.
"Hmm. Isn't it busy"
Valtrude walks with an intriguing view of a series of dewstores filling both sides of the road. It's not that the market is unusual, it's that of Falve.
Looking at how she was smiling like that, Yut bought an apple at one of the dewstores.
Apples are more expensive than other fruits because they are difficult to cultivate, but the fact that they contain such fruits in itself represents the fact that Falve is boiling in the good economy.
"Take it easy, Valko. The countrymen will see us."
"Well, I'm actually a countryman, but doesn't Yut seem quite used to it more than that"
I tell him to twist the apple he received from Yut.
With such a trick. That's just it, Yut's eyes nailed. Beauty says she'll get tired of it in three days, but she's never seen Valtrude, so she can say that.
"Beauty gets it. Whatever you do, you'll be fine."
"What a sudden. Beautiful, etc..."
Because of the sky above, words I didn't intend to say were becoming reality. While panicking inside, Yut manages to delude herself.
"It's true, isn't it? I've never seen a more beautiful woman than Valko."
"Oh, that's how you're going to delude me!
Surprisingly, it was a valtroude vulnerable to straightforward pushing.
"I mean it for what it's worth, but we're pretty much in the market for now, mainly with Jonah. Quite often, after we make up."
"I dated all the way to the desert, I wonder what the hell..."
For the first time on a honeymoon with a girl like my sister and Yut, Valtrude is unexpectedly blind.
"More than that, why didn't you invite me either"
"Jonah says it's better if we're alone. Well, if you want to go anyway, you should go with someone who buys you whatever you want."
"Isn't Yut just sweet"
"Say yes"
Yut affirmed without any evil at all.
"Well, it's my treat today, so fix your mood."
"Totally. I don't have a choice, so let's get him deluded."
The two smiled, hand in hand and moving on to the market.
There are plenty of excuses that people - not enough to turn back - can be strong enough to hold hands together.
In the market, you can see shops lining up groceries. If you look, there was also a line of fresh fish we saw at the carriage railway station. Others sell groceries and cloths, while others sell rare spices.
"You saw the same thing on that sign earlier."
"That's a sign from the Chamber of Commerce. Basically, the Chamber of Commerce doesn't retail, but lends its own sign to an outdoor store with a direct deal. In short, you mean the store under the umbrella."
"You know me well."
"... rather, it's a level where I can't help but get a scratch on why I don't know"
Why? Because it is Valtrude.
Never, I'm not scorning you. I'm not, but I can't help stuffing beyond my allowable amount.
"Oh, do you have a weapon too? Sometimes there's a dig in this place."
"You don't have that, exactly."
Valtrude happily takes swords and spears unconstructively spread over a cloth spread out on the ground.
Such an outdoor shop is not uncommon.
Is it also unique to the Brewers that weapons, protective equipment, and suspicious potions are sold because of the price? If it's not as bad as it sounds, it's not going to get under control. It's your own fault.
"... for now, it looks like there's no such thing as magic equipment."
"Suddenly, the pleasure was taken away..."
"How long have you been dreaming?"
"Oh. This is rusty, but isn't it quite a specialty?
"No, well, good."
The smell tickled Valtrude's nose as he appropriately chilled the stores to such a condition. If you look at the smell, my father in a bear shop is baking skewers.
"Brother, it's a bird skewer. What do you say?"
My father, who noticed his gaze, sells in with all the business opportunities.
"Valko, what do we do?
"Let's eat"
It was instant. Despite eating apples, there was no stray.
"Well, give me two"
"Aye."
Skewers that receive a few pieces of copper coins for consideration both disappear into Valtrude's stomach. Exactly, in an instant.
"That's pretty good. It's not just salt... Smells like herbs."
The whole meal was actually in the hall. Besides, I taste it right.
"Sorry, two more."
Hand over a few copper coins again and turn one of the extra ones to Valtrude. It soon became just a skewer.
"For about a bite, I'd like to have one, too?
"You didn't say you wanted it, did you?
"Ha ha. Loved weakness, bro."
"If you fall in love, you lose."
"Different."
"No, this is nervous and hungry..."
"It's not an excuse, is it?
The two of them moved from the front of the stall with a bitter smile and satisfaction, and then continued shopping with this if they noticed.
"A permanent market is good. I can afford it whenever I think I can, and more importantly, it's convenient."
"It's natural that it's my feeling. There was a shop there for 24 hours without a day's rest."
"The more I listen to you, the stranger Yut's hometown is. When are you going to rest? You're letting Golem do the clerk, though?
"There's no word for that"
I get the feeling that Slow Life is not the only absolute justice, but I do wonder if there is something wrong with Japan. I don't doubt it's convenient.
"Let the inspection be around here, it's time to go in one way or another"
I don't have a watch, but I walked quite a bit. It would be a good time to take a break.
"Was it an inspection?
"If it's not an inspection, it's a date."
"... well. Right."
I have trouble being silent there......
Yut, who wandered his gaze, sets a target in a liquor store. Even Jonah and I have been to the store several times. Dirty, but the simmering was delicious.
Most falves have stone buildings, but the shop to which the two headed is simple wooden. The cheapness seemed, on the contrary, to be favoured by Valtrude as well.
"Long time no see, some of these stores"
Occupy one table in the store that was buried about half way, Valtrude said in a whisper.
"Oh, yeah"
I haven't seen Valtrude in a long time.
There are also a few more fancy shops in Falve, but you don't need to go today. Well, I don't know about this choice on a date, but fashionable cafes don't exist. I have no choice.
"Stewed and ale, something to pinch..."
I have a sausage.
"Well, let's make that two servings"
A ponytail waitress heads to the kitchen with her order.
Yut looks around the store until the food is brought in.
In the store, despite the daytime, the men were overlapping the cup. In addition to the Dwarves, there are many other humans in the style of manual workers. On the other hand, the accompanying adventurer was not within sight of the store of this hand.
"Yes, please wait"
Waitress cleverly ale claw and wooden jock. Besides, I lined up a deep dish with stewed dishes. When you're young but it's a big deal, Valtrude impresses you in a weird place.
Looking sideways at it, Yut poured ale on the two jocks.
Take a sip of warm ale.
Alcohol from daytime. Besides, there's a minor.
Well, I'll take another bite now. Warm and bitter, but delicious.
Valtroude also had his hands on a quick simmer.
"Isn't it delicious?"
I just chopped the warm vegetables and simmered them with pork guts, but surprisingly there is no odor with plenty of spices and herbs used and I feel deep in the taste.
"Isn't it? We keep our shop."
I leave the sausage with a dialogue that can't be serious or a joke.
The surface is lightly broiled and the skin is elastic enough to play and is just fun to bite off.
"Does this store also have a requisition form?"
He looked at the board where Yut was hung on the wall as he poked the sausage with a fork. At the end of that line of sight, Valtrude also follows.
"An investigation of the Platinum Capital, the legendary city that lies within the northern mountains... My client looks like a warlock in Sejour, the king's capital."
"Depending on the allowance to the city there, you feel like you're sticking it. Well, it's a common pattern."
Requests to adventurers are often put up in taverns in this way. Otherwise, you may receive a direct request if you raise your name somewhat.
"Do you want to take any requests before you go back?
"If we show up, my client will be surprised."
"Really? I wouldn't be that celebrity."
"No, I knew we'd stop it"
Yut shook his head.
"Before you go back, it's like you can't come back."
"Yut......"
In the hustle and noise of the tavern, silence dominates the venue.
Through it, the song of the bard went on.
"Save the world, heroes, white walts, lourdes."
"Buha."
"Yut!?"
Valtrude wipes it worthwhile around Yut's mouth that blew out the ale, but not if he's impressed with it now.
"What the hell, this..."
"Sounds like our song......"
Valtrude embraces reality in ways such as inadmissibility. But Yut was uncomfortable with the attitude.
Valtrude who is a hero but doesn't like to be treated like a hero. But from her now, I can't feel any rejection of the bard's song.
When that happens, the answer is narrowed.
"Val, you knew about this, didn't you?
"About what?
Valtrude eats up the simmering all at once and calls the waitress for an extra order.
He's going to be deluded. As always, it's a bad lie.
"... ok. It was my fault. Alcia told me and I knew."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because I absolutely hate you."
"Well, it's a world of less entertainment, and I don't like it, but I won't even try to ban it."
"Really? Actually, they say that duel noise is also sung by bards in the alley. So I told you to shut up because I would definitely get in the way."
"Seriously!?"
Yut held his head by accident.
"Alcia, whatever it takes, it's..."
"What. This isn't our first time, is it? And you never even heard of the love of the duel ground?
A waitress comes in to pick up the order as she rocks the ponytail from left to right and enters into a conversation between the two of them. With her pointing out, I had an anticipation that Jonah would have kept it out of Yut's ear by some means.
But more than that, it doesn't sound familiar. Then I cared about the disturbing title.
"Dueling love? What the hell, it"
"Is that a tease? Do I have to explain it from there?
"Yes. Excuse me..."
When awesome, the land of high school students leaves and suddenly becomes humble.
In response to such a yuut, the waitress began to speak well.
"The lord here, that's a beautiful man, enough to forget to even sigh. Such a lord the nobleman adored. I can't help it. I'm trying to help my lord."
Well, can't you even interpret that? Normally, I wouldn't expect to pay 100,000 gold coins, nor would I think of it as a decent demand.
That's it, it's still good.
"And it was the sorcerer who got angry. You gave your feelings purely to the lord, so naturally. So it became a duel for three fights."
"Three battles...?
"First a duel with a spell, then a battle with the addition of all the noble private soldiers. And finally, we're going to take out a one-on-one duel with no spells, you flamboyant bastard!
To a waitress who starts talking like a dreaming maiden, Yut can't pinch words. I don't even want to understand.
I'm just in a state of shivering and waiting for a typhoon to pass.
"What, that's completely different from the duel I know..."
"Hmm? Did I say something?
"No."
"Oh, well, I'll make a request to the bard, so take your time. Now, keep ordering."
"Isn't it a good place to serve?"
"Is this Hellenonically?
"The fact that a hero is a hero is one of the tasks"
"... you have to drink to come"
In the end, I added more cheap ales.
I didn't know you were going to drink kerosene this year.
You don't know what life is, I feel smudged.
