Me, Adventurer! - Undoubled Skills Are Flat Magic (WEB Version)
Episode 70 - First King's Capital, First Bath
'Central', the king's capital of the 'Kingdom of West Midlands', seen from above the sea, was surrounded by soft morning light that shoots from thin slices of clouds. Are we finally here?
Wang Capital's first impression was' big ', and' white '. The streets that ran everywhere were white stone European architecture. It's like a Mediterranean tourist destination. I've never been there.
I have never known the name of this country on board. I was born and raised in a country, but I usually only call it a kingdom. You know how strange it is, why don't you know all this common sense? 'And Kikka frightened me. You can't help it, you're just a kid and you're a country monster.
The ship entered the Central South Harbor two days later than planned. It's because I got stuck at sea at a place called Wang Du in a day. It would be amazing if I could stand on the ocean. Oh, I can stand. Awesome.
Other than that, it was a smooth voyage. Including the emergence of pirates.
By the way, I thought there might be a north port because there's a south port, and they say there's only a south port. Why not.
"See you in this harbor in the morning in five days, Mr. Vincent.
"Yeah, thank you, Mr. Beat. It helped a lot.
It is Mr. Vincent, a pedestrian. A substantial merchant in the village of Dantes. She looks a little thin, but she doesn't seem to have any health problems.
Mr. Vincent was caught with both pirates. On the way home from Bordersetts to Dorton, he said the ship he was on was attacked by pirates. The ship was sunk, and the man seems to have left Mr. Vincent and killed them all. They say only the women and Mr. Vincent survived, the women were pirate comforters, and Mr. Vincent was terribly abused as a diner. It was those women and Mr. Vincent who were in the barn.
"You'll regret killing me for being able to cook delicious food," he said, desperately selling in without shame or outside hearing to survive, but if you live, you win. I'm not ashamed at all.
"Thanks to Dantes baking (barbecue) and ketchup, I was able to live longer. I can't thank you enough, Beat, for getting me more rescued and even returning my stolen property. Thank you so much.
"I've heard you thank me many times already. Without Mr. Vincent, the village won't be able to walk away, so it's not a human resource for me either. It's only natural to help the body.
I don't know how many times. Mr. Vincent tells me to thank you. By then, I'm afraid of this one.
So far, Mr. Vincent is the only one who has done business with me to the village of Dantes. When that Mr. Vincent is gone, the village will no longer be supplied with salt or household groceries. It's a dead end. Even though I left the house, I don't want my parents to have a hard time.
Mr. Vincent had the money in his possession taken from him by pirates, but I returned it all. It belongs to us who crusaded the pirates, but when Mr. Vincent bankrupts us, the village is in danger. Return was a natural flow.
Mr. Vincent will accompany us to Wang Du, where he will return with us to Dorton as a passenger. With a proven track record of pirate repelling, we felt safe. I've already negotiated with the merchant shipowner.
Merchant ship owners are in a good mood for Hokhok. The contract to buy the ship taken from the pirates came together so that we could expand our business hands.
What a huge 1,500 gold coins the ship is buying! It is not an accurate indicator because prices are different, but it is about 1.5 billion yen in Japanese yen conversion. It's like winning the lottery twice, but it takes about 10,000 large pieces of gold to build a large ship in the first place. Even used ships are cheap for 1,500 large gold coins. In the first place, they can't get large ships even if they want them because of the low number of them built.
Of course Kikka went to this price, but I suppressed it and put the negotiations together. Instead of that, I was given a contract in the name of the Chamber of Commerce to make it easier for me to take precedence if I wanted something. I hit it off and ordered a souvenir for Samantha and Daisy, who were leaving messages. It's a trendy fabric and yarn in Wangdu, a set of sewing tools, followed by a weaving machine, a book on various vegetable seeds and ways to grow them, and a set of farm tools.
As a merchant ship owner, he didn't lose money, but rather, he promised me in a mundane reply that he could connect with promising adventurers in the future. It's a good thing it's good for both sides. You're a guy named WIN-WIN.
By the way, the name of the Chamber of Commerce is the Tonerico Chamber of Commerce, and the meeting is called Mr. Tonerico, this merchant shipowner and the same name as the Chamber of Commerce. It's easy to remember, but wasn't it a toe-cat? It's a shame, though it looks just like it.
"What does Mr. Vincent do until he sails?
"Right... it's the king's capital in the corner. I don't know what business opportunities there are, so I'm going to look around at markets and shops whenever possible.
I didn't expect you to think about your next business when you said you'd just been in a terrible situation. Boulders are border merchants, not half as successful.
The pirates had no particular basis. In addition to the people caught and the food, a large quantity of money was taken from the barn. In addition to money such as silver coins and gold coins, weapons and protective equipment, ceramics, gold and silver ornaments, demon stones, etc. According to Kikka and the merchant shipowner, it would be worth as much as 500 large gold coins even if they were quoted less.
Since I left the village, there are many opportunities to get a lot of money that I have never seen before, and it seems like there is something wrong with my sense of money.
◇
Wang Du's guild was surprisingly small. The white stone exterior is the same as the surrounding area, with three floors and a little miscellaneous building. I think it's too small for the total headquarters of the domestic guild, but there seems to be little demand for adventurers in the Wang capital in the first place. They say the security forces have specialized guards and there are few demons in the vicinity because they are hunted. There is no magic in the neighborhood. I have a miscellaneous request, but it seems to be turned to a good offices office near the slum because it means relief for the poor.
I think Lanobe's guild in the Wang capital was busier... is this what reality is all about? Come to think of it, it's also a weird story to say that the Wang Capital is in high demand for adventurers who make demonic exorcisms their main business. What kind of demonic city is that?
The main task here is to carry out administrative and human resources, so I guess that means that there is no need for a large building. Pretty reasonable and good impression. I also want the Japanese bureau to apprentice me to disturb box things in vain.
Reporting to the Alliance took quite a while. I handed over the mowed pirate's neck and head, had the women who had been imprisoned protected and assessed for the treasure they had recovered, but by the time it was over, the sun was past Jomtien and at dusk. I came as soon as I had breakfast. Besides, that's not the end of it, he asked me to come back tomorrow because I want to pack the reward and buyout story. Mendokusai.
Coming down from the reception room upstairs to the idle lobby on the ground floor. Bulletin boards with only two receptions and neglected requests. Naturally, there is little of an adventurer. The waiting space is ragged, and there aren't any of them drinking here because the bar isn't co-located.
Leave the loneliness that was a little out of expectation and follow the guild of the King's Capital. Cristella and the others looked a little surprised, but I don't know how this feels.
◇
The Inn on that day rented a suite of slightly higher grade inns even in the Wang capital, on the top floor of four floors, in a room for six people for the family. Price What and one large overnight gold coin. Ordinary lodging means one large silver coin per night, even if it's expensive, so let's see how fancy it is. But all that was worth 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. Because the common people don't have a bathing habit. You may not even know the bath exists. It will take a lot of work to prepare, and it will be quite a bit further even if it is disseminated to the public.
I'll be in early before dinner. My husband said it was the best bath. When I asked the receptionist, an employee (maybe a slave) filled the hot tub by carrying a bucket filled with hot water. This is a lot of heavy labour. Thank you.
The hot tub is not that big. It's a metal, probably bronze tub with legs that I occasionally see in an old western movie. The decoration on the edge smells luxurious. It's still a luxury.
Boldly pour hot water on the provided handkerchief and cover it from the head. It's an unparalleled luxury in this world. Unfortunately, there is no soap or shampoo. The skin only rubs with a rough cloth, and the hair dissolves the wheat fudge in water and rubs it in and out. That makes it pretty, but it still leaves a subtle dissatisfaction in the wash. Maybe I'll make some soap sometime. If we just use it ourselves without selling it, it won't have any impact on the public. Why don't we make a bath in the hall?
As I washed my hair thinking about it, the door leading to the stripper opened and Cristella came in. I was naked.
... Huh?
"Dear Beat, I'll flush your back!
"Wow!? What!? Why are you coming in!? Clothes Ha!?
"It is not the privilege of slaves to flush your husband's back… it is one of the first duties. Besides, the bath is for taking off your clothes and going in.
Christella comes in with a cocky laugh. Hide it. What do you mean, privilege!? Besides, my eyes are focused on my lower body, not my back!?
"Yes, no, it's okay, because I can do it alone!
Hide My Sun from Cristella's gaze by twisting her body. I'm a little scared of Cristella's smile.
"I can't. The filth of the journey is surprisingly stubborn. And I've decided on the order.
"Ju, what's the order!?
When I heard it, it was my turn to take a bath with me during my stay in Wangdu. On the first day, it seems that Kristera took it away with slave-head privilege. Does that mean taking a bath with everyone one at a time!?
"... are you unwilling to come in with me?
Oh! I can't say no when you look so sad! Even though I'm just embarrassed in the first place and sincerely unhappy to perish!
Usually unfortunate words and deeds stand out, but Cristella is such a beautiful girl that she rarely is. In previous life, it is a seller's idol or charisma model. It is a reliable level. It burned to the sun somewhat in Adventurer's life, but the skin is white and the style is good.
Such a beautiful girl says she wants to take a bath with me, there's no way she can say no. I'm not ashamed of myself. I won't be a reason to say no.
"... okay. Then will you flush my back?
"Yes!! Happy!!
Ever since we started to adventure together, he replied with the best smile. Well, it's good to be admired.
After that, they washed a lot of places, not just my back, and for some reason I washed them too and soaked them both in the hot tub. I will lay down the details, but only report that the middle size is not bad and that the line was not crossed.
It's going to be hectic! A 7-year-old doesn't know what he's talking about!
