Me, Adventurer! - Undoubled Skills Are Flat Magic (WEB Version)
Episode 214 - Stops, Road Grass, Alcohol and Vegetables
Fun times are just a matter of time.
If I had moffed Woo, Talodillo, Pea, and the cats of the bastion, and sometimes Cristella and Anya, the sandwich would have passed at some point. I'll leave it up to you to imagine where you moffed the Kristellas. After all, Moffmoff is great.
But it's the society that can't do all the fun things. Your work schedule must be kept. It is also an inevitable task as a nobleman to attend a greeting reception and other events to be held in the King's Capital tomorrow. Even if Moffmoff is untrained, there's no way he won't go. No matter how untrained Moffmoff is.
Pick up the Viscount in the town of Dantes before you pack your necessary bags and head to the King's Capital...
"Mother, I'm home! Happy New Year!
"... congrats. It's been a long time since I've had a chance, but I haven't had a chance to give this girl up at all. I can't help but feel uneasy about my child."
"Really? Not so much!
"No, you're not complimenting me, are you?
It's like a conversation with some prairie family in Haruhibe. Sure, I'm with you that kids aren't kindergartners, but they're troublemakers. Don't let your butt out in public.
"I'm sorry about all this. I'll take care of you this time."
"Yeah, nothing's wrong with that. It's a little bit of a drop by."
The Viscount in his everyday clothes has spoken in disregard of his mother and daughter's comic talent. It's the same Golimaccio.
The Viscount (Ginger), who usually never leaves town, is also rarely accompanied to this trip to the King's Capital. Because the war merit award ceremony to be held the day after tomorrow is an official event, participants will be required to accompany their partners. It was also in the previous world that those without partners at official events would be seen as half servings.
There is no doubt that the protagonist of this ceremony is the Viscount, who served as commander of the Jerkin side front. A medal that no one can doubt. So the Viscount's partner, Mr. Ginger, has to join us this time.
I am also to be honored for my accomplishment of backward support in Operation Crossing & Castle Fortress. I thought it was a story I'd already finished a long time ago, but they'd give me a proper official award. Well, but it's still the Viscount's besides.
My partner, naturally, is my fiancée, Sister Jasmine. I have a height difference of about thirty centimeters, so I don't care how you look at it, I think it's my sister and brother, but it's my partner. I'm not even a grown-up yet, so it's natural for me to be in public, but my partner should be there to avoid unnecessary trouble.
I've been a little too conspicuous lately. I intend to be thorough on the back in the war, but I couldn't hide the PKO to the Ende afterwards or the street maintenance now because I'm the main body. I wasn't hiding anything, but it seems to be the best story in the kingdom economy these days as' The King's Hidden Ball '. Talk to Mr. Tonerico. That's true in the economy, so it goes without saying about the social world.
In the first place, nobility attaches great importance to wizards. Because magic is noble. Just as ore free mines are worthless, so too are magical unusable nobles. So the governor's inheritance is a wizard priority, and wizards out of the civilian population are surrounded and incorporated into the clan.
They also know that I am a very powerful wizard, so naturally, people will come out to draw me into their own bodies. If you're a child who hasn't grown up yet, some of them will think you can push it off with some forceful hands.
When it comes to their usual means, it's color tricks and blackmail.
Of these, it does not pose a problem with regard to extortion. I look like this and the contents are Osama, and not so many idiots sell fights to wizards. If idiots are opponents, we can eliminate them no matter what. You should realize the magnitude of the risk of selling a fight to the King's hidden balls in the first place, unless you're an extra idiot. If you're stupid enough to not notice, you won't have a problem disposing of (...) it.
The problem is color tricks. It's a hand that's not supposed to work for children, but it's the nobility that forces it through. Anyway, I'm going to think about making up something like "childhood promises," or hanging out well and making promises, or it's a virtually rootless arrangement, or "I'll be able to do as much as I want if I were a child".
It's Sister Jasmine to avoid it. Because I'm childhood friendly, I can see through the promise of making it up, and it becomes evidence that it's such a lowlife to dictate who I have a partner with that makes the promise ineffective. If we stay together all the time, the makeover arrangements won't work either. Perfect bug. Well, usually a woman's bug comes with a offering.
Usually, a large number of escorts and servants accompany the noblemen on their journey. For reasons such as ensuring safety and comfort, and the appearance of other nobles and people.
But only my people and the Viscounts are members of this trip to the King's Capital. Because the safety of the journey is well secured by my magic, and I don't have a chance to stop by the village or town to show it off even if I want to look good. It's a straight line from Wangdu by air.
Besides, my people take care of the Viscounts around the King's Capital, so comfort is ensured. Even this small group has no problems at all.
Even if, as a normal aristocrat would have done, most of the members are highly ranked adventurers accustomed to camp. There is no inconvenience on the road. Instead, an increase in the number of people could be dangerous with more escort targets. Common sense in this world doesn't work for us.
Leave the mother and daughter conversations like the one that's still going on, and I'll head to my parents' house. The offerings are Woo and Tarodiro, and Pea. The other members are (...) loading their luggage onto the ship. It's an example of a ship I've been hunting from a pirate in Nolan.
This ship, the pirate ship, has been slightly renovated since its capture, on the grounds that it does not deserve noble possessions as such. I just replaced the pirate flag (Jolly Roger) on the top of the main mast with my family crest.
The area that was painful in the battle was repaired, and Tsugi Hagi's prominent sails were also replaced with new ones. The equipment on board was also replaced with luxury goods worthy of ships owned by nobles. If I were to compare this renovation, would it be that a large fishing vessel has become a luxury cruiser? No useless decorations, but I think it's gotten a lot more comfortable.
Viscount people are loading their luggage on that boat, which they lodged in a pond on agricultural land, at the discrepancy of Christella. Pretty big baggage for a few days' itinerary, but if you look closely, you'll notice that most of them are barrels.
The contents of this barrel are alcohol.
In the Viscount Territory, thanks to the physical strengthening I spread, agricultural productivity has increased considerably. That also shows up in this fall mouth harvest, which seems to have been considerably richer than usual. Blah, the population of this town picked enough forest potatoes to connect to eat for about three years.
Initially, we were talking about selling that surplus in Wang Du or Bordersetz, but I put the wait on it. I was wondering if I should sell it for more value anyway. That's booze.
Streets are now in place between Dorton and Dantes. A policy with a strong utility dimension as a post-war recession countermeasure, but that is only a one-off. It doesn't make sense if nobody uses the path they make. It's the same end of the spectrum as a common hacko: just dripping deficits over maintenance costs.
That's where I thought about the specialty. If there is an attractive specialty in the Viscount Territory, the economy is revitalized by merchants in search of it. The use of the streets increases and Dorton also develops as a relay to Wang Du and other large cities. Taxes can also be used to recover maintenance costs.
The question was what to make a specialty of. I was certain to use potatoes, but the question was what to make with them. The best I could think of was the liquor, in fact the liquor made with potatoes is already made all over the border. It is very difficult for a later occurrence to make it a specialty.
Potato liquor made in this country is like turbid liquor (dust) that crushes steamed or boiled potatoes, mixes water and yeast, and squeezes them into bed for a while to ferment. I was only allowed to lick it a little bit in the Adventurer Guild and the taste was slightly sweet, like a little cluttered alcoholic liquor. They say the alcohol content is slightly lower than the wine, and if left unattended because it is not on fire, it becomes vinegar.
So at first I thought, 'If you fire it in, it will last, so it's advantageous in transport,' but immediately I thought, 'If you want to use fire anyway, you can distill it, right?' I reconsidered. Yes, the creation of the world's first distilled liquor, yam shochu.
For that reason, beside street maintenance and deputies' work, the distiller of the candlestick was managed to be shaped by the city's blacksmith, during which time the Viscount was asked to make taro liquor, which was finally successfully made even though the distillation failed several times, because of the baked rice in that barrel.
The Viscount said, 'Alcohol is strong! I may be tight until I get used to it, but I'll take it for a drink. Never before, it's a new booze,' I got a heartbeat. It will be sunny, and it will be enough as a trade item.
Incidentally, the barrel containing the shochu is a tree shaved out of the great forest trees. There are no joints anywhere but the lid. This barrel would also be a specialty.
Also, I'm supposed to put 10% of the distilled liquor I make to sleep at my base, hoping that letting it sleep in this barrel for a while will melt the smell of wood into the liquor and make it look like whiskey. I guess the first time I opened it was when I was an adult. I'm looking forward to it.
"Pee! No, Pee's here!
"Oh, you're here, Pea! And then the beat."
"Yeah, I'm here, but I'm home"
As soon as I got to my parents' house, my dad came out and hugged Pea. I think I'm Pee's boyfriend. Well, that's fine. Pea's cute.
"Dad, what about mom and baby? You got a name?
"Oh, I'm drinking milk in the back. I've decided on a name." Carrot. "
With Pea sitting on his left arm, Dad moves on to the back of the house. Me and Woo chasing after that.
They decided on my brother's name at the dawn of the year. Hmm, Carrot, is that you? Well, you're just what I imagined. Has it become a vegetable name after all? I had a feeling about that, too, because I'm a Sutto Dycon. Well, let's just say it wasn't potatoes. Poor potato, somehow.
Yeah? My brother's a radish and my brother's a carrot? Maybe you're talking about a vegetable alien brother in a comic book who collects dragon balls? Shit, are you destined to be hostile and kill each other in the future!? And go to hell with just me!? Holy shit!!
No, I don't have a tail, neither do my brother, and I'm not an M-shaped bald guy. You shouldn't be like that brother. I'm not even planning on getting separated. Yeah, I'm fine! Let's not get along forever, brother! Because I'll be careful not to get M-shaped baldness either!
Let's just ban 'combat power... only five or... trash...' For peace in the universe.
