Me, Adventurer! - Undoubled Skills Are Flat Magic (WEB Version)
Episode 216 - Party Break
Load the ship at the departing pier that leads to the royal castle and keep the loaded barrel with the guard knight. Twenty barrels in all I brought in this time. Ten barrels of offerings to the royal family and eight barrels for tomorrow's event. The rest of the lid barrels are plugged into the Kingsguard Knights, who are working hard to protect us during the event. I wouldn't go all the way in just a bunch of barrels, but I want you to think this is a comfort to the untwisted faces who were assigned a guard assignment earlier in the year. I said that and gave it to the knight in charge, and he thanked me with the most salute.
In fact, this is also part of the publicity campaign for shochu.
The aristocrats will be advertised by Tonerico and Vincent to merchants and wealthy people at upcoming events, but if they can, they want to spread the shochu to the general public. However, the current production is not that large, so it is expected to be a premier product that will only be available to a limited number of layers for a while. Even the general population would be untouchable unless they were wealthy.
When it comes to the general and wealthy, he is still a state official serving the country. That would mean bureaucrats, knights, people called celebrities.
Bureaucrats should not have to advertise in particular because they have connections to merchants and wealthy people. The economy and the bureaucracy are healing in every country at all times. I've never heard of an exception.
On the other hand, there have been major adaptations due to the coup d 'état noise in the example, and the Knights are in an almost brand-new state. You can think of less adhesion with the wealthy. But it's a powerful place to sell alcohol. I can't separate manual workers from alcohol. If you do it well, you'll be a big customer. There is no reason not to advertise.
"Damn, it's something to think about. You, shouldn't you be a merchant? As far as we're concerned, I appreciate the expansion of the sales channel."
"What? I'm an easy adventurer."
"Normal adventurers, they're always far from easy next to danger, aren't they?
"Then you're an unusual adventurer."
"... well. That's no different now."
Something's leaking a sigh of giving up from the Viscount. No, I don't specialize in business. I'm the creator.
Talking about that, I head to the Royal Castle event venue with the guidance of a servant who was waiting to leave the island. Um, was it "During Response"? It's an area I've never been to before. It is quite far from between the sight and the blue rose. I'm guessing that's a politically related, event-related area we use over there. It also makes sense from a security point of view.
It was on the way down a long corridor with a few turns of cuckoo and horns and gorgeous decorations was a big, rather heavy kannon opening door in Sokosoko. From inside you can hear slight signs of a crowd called Gayagaya and the sounds of strings (lute) and lateral whistles (fives) that the band would be playing. Apparently, this is where they respond.
A servant who led us this far gave ears to one of the knights who would refrain by either side of the door, turning back the way he came to thank us. Guess I'll show you the next customer.
"Viscount Weissman and his wife, as well as Baron Faith and his companions, are here!
I open the door with the other knight as the knight who had been struck in the ear announced our arrival aloud. I see. Did you take over the ear punching earlier?
When the door opened, the music, which was slight, overflowed with louder sound pressure than I thought. The doors, the walls, they seem to be thick there.
The stone room is quite large. Isn't there about a little bigger high school gym? The ceiling is also high and loosely arched. A number of chandeliers suspended seem expensive in a different way. That's not glass, it's crystal, right? Each subtly has a different color.
In that hall, you ladies dressed in brilliant costumes split into several groups and bickered... I guess you were there. Now a lot of them are looking at us and talking to Hisohisso in a whisper. Looks like it's worth something and it's uncomfortable.
The silence came down to the venue for a moment just as the music was separated, but soon the next song began. Our attention was cut off as if that was a signal, and the chatter resumed.
"Never mind, it's the usual. Many of the nobles of the King's capital are exclusive."
"Really? I was wondering if they were all social because they were in the social world."
"Sure. That's ironic."
The Viscount smiles bitterly.
Anything, it seems that many aristocrats live relatively near Wang Du to gather at the New Year's Eve celebration. Well, if you're from far away, you're in danger of being attacked by demons and bandits. If you're not a great nobleman with a large army of private soldiers, you can't get to the King's Capital very far. And since such grand aristocrats are mostly aristocrats, they rarely show their faces to events organized by the royal family, and they end up sending celebratory sentences.
Most aristocrats living near Wangdu seem to be court aristocrats, that is aristocrats who work in the royal castle without a territory. He inherited his position from generation to generation and lives in that location. There are also pensions as separate aristocrats, so many are relatively wealthy to court aristocrats. It's a promising place to sell shochu. Do it to.
That's why a lot of people seem to stick to that position. They are vigilant and exclusive to emerging nobles who may threaten their position. I see.
Well, that's a useless worry. I have no interest in royalty. As much as I'd rather avoid it. 'Cause there's no place in the King's Capital where the woos can walk and hunt as much as they want. There's no way I can live in a place like that. Dog lovers are dog-centered no matter what they think.
On the other hand, they say the noble participants with the few territories are super-social. Especially against the wizard. He's so forceful, that's why my partner, Sister Jasmine, came around. Get rid of it properly.
Get drinks to serve touring the venue and move to the corner of the venue. When asked if I did not have to greet the other nobles, the Viscount told me to just greet the royalty today. When he talks poorly, he says he'll be caught up in a faction fight within the royal castle at some point.
When I say factional strife, they say it's not about the royalty and nobility that are surfacing, it's a power struggle within the finer royal castle. You mean factional strife within the party, not the struggle of the opposition. No, even if the world is different, what humans do is the same thing. I guess that's the sex of a species called a human being.
When I thought Sister Jasmine and Mr. Ginger were somewhat quiet, they were both silently eating the dishes served on a large plate. When?
Several places near the walls of this hall are cooks who cook a lot on the spot. Looks like you got a lot going on there. That's a pile of meat. Really, when?
"'Cause we're both just talking about how annoying it sounds. I'm hungry."
"I can't believe we got a chance to eat royal castle rice, can we? You have to eat it when you can."
Mother and daughter laughing and still not stopping the fork from moving. Parents and children alike? Yeah, he's a similiar parent and son. Sister Jasmine and Mr. Ginger are very similar in appearance and character. If I turn Mr. Ginger's hair red and taller, I'll be Jasmine's sister. Here, when the red-haired and even taller Viscount enters, the parent-child relationship is obvious. I'm the only one with no blood connection and some alienation.... I'll play with your father at your parents' house when I've done my errands in Wangdu.
"Oh, Dan, Beat, long time no see!
"This is Count Dorton, were you here? We're out of time."
"Yay, you're calling me” bunny, "Dan ♥"
A slightly queasy onenii (...) in a flashy pearlescent dress with long silver hair comes to us without a cat. The Viscount's cheeks are drawn to the wink that sounds like 'Vaticone!'. It's Count Bernard-Dorton, the former lord of Dorton, Bannie. He is now ruling eastern Lute Hainan by territorial change. He is no less a great nobleman than the Three Marquis in the size of his territory.
On the waist of the dress hangs a short spear wrapped around the same pearl ribbon as the dress. The Earl wears a short spear because he's dressed for it. You keep the dress code for once.
"Beat, long time no see. ♥ You've grown up in a little while. Sister, I changed your diapers for you once. Remember?
"Thank you for your help with that verse. The Count, too, still in attendance at tomorrow's ceremony?
"No more! Both Dan and Beat are bad for Nori. Hey! Yes, the Lute Sea was led by Atashi, so you can't stay out. I haven't even figured out the territory yet. No!
When you get your bokeh through naturally, your cheeks swell and you rot infidelly, Bunny. When I think the contents are Osama over thirty, I get a little slack.
It hasn't been that long since Bunny was moved to her current territory. It is a larger territory than before and has a larger number of towns and villages. It would be true that it takes time to grasp the territory. Moreover, many towns and villages are ravaged by pirates. Even if we call it a transfer to a wide area, we wouldn't be happy to let it go.
Furthermore, the current Noran government is not functioning in the civil conflict, and it is the current state of affairs that the kingdom is subdued throughout the Lute Sea by its turmoil. Inevitably, its management also comes under pressure from Banny, the great lord of the coast. I can't imagine the hardship or the baron style. It's sad.
For that reason, it seems that this time Banny only climbed the castle with a minimal escort. Minister or wife (!) They say you work in the territory. You were there, your wife and children! Best stutter (surprise) of recent years!! Was this makeup and womenswear deceptive after all?
When I asked if it was not mandatory for my partner to participate, I received an answer saying, 'It's okay because I'm in two roles by myself, Atashi,' which I don't understand as I see it. I see?
Whatever it is, I know a handful of faces, and even just one of them is a comforting ally in Away. Maybe Bunny felt the same way.
I'll introduce you to Mr. Ginger and sister Jasmine, who will meet for the first time, while killing time while we chat.
This greeting reception, in the ordinary course of the year, the King's family appears at the venue before the evening, and they say New Year's greetings and ambitions in front of the participants to be dissolved. I mean, I can't go home until then. It's still past lunch, so I have to wait at least an hour more in the venue. It's really nice to have someone to talk to.
Yeah, maybe Bunny cared about us.
If it were just me and the Viscount, the other Territorial aristocrats might have come to solicit me. Territorial possession means more than a Viscount, which means more than the same as a Viscount. Assuming it was the Count or something, I might have scorned the Viscount with a high-pressure attitude wearing a title on a casket.
But with Banny, the Count of the same size, you can't be that strong. Besides, they say that no one from each Marquis family attends this meeting every year, so no one should have more titles than Vannie. I mean, it's the strongest shield on this scene.
Maybe he's the Count because he can be so attentive. Or, when you become an Earl, do you have to think and act that far? Nobility is tough. It's not human resources.
Like that, I felt signs of someone approaching us as I talked to the Viscount and Bunny about territorial management and something 'borderline'. It's a sign of someone I've never met before. There are no other nobles nearby, so I'm pretty sure we're here for it.
Seeing the signs, he was a young man with a good physique wrapped in gray white aristocratic clothing. Sixteen, seven. I'm cutting my dark brown hair short and it feels like a 'sports club' to see. I knew you didn't recognize me.
From the ornaments of the aristocratic garments you are wearing...... short spears. That means you're the Count. Being here means you're young, but you must be the boss. Looks like you don't have a partner, but don't you have a pardon?
No, I suppose the counts with territories who are attending this meeting will also be attending tomorrow's ceremony. For example, the territory may have increased or been moved and is really very busy. Or do you think you just inherited territory? So, maybe I've left the job to you, like Bunny.
The man walked toward me after seeing Sister Jasmine puckering dessert confectionery with Mr. Ginger as chilli. Well, do you mean solicit me for errands? She said there's a bunny right next door, but it's a bold thing.
"Please excuse us while we talk. I'm Klein-Anderson. We have a Count family near the western border of the Kingdom. Are you sure you're Baron Beat-Face?
"Yes, I'll see you first. Sure, I'm Beat-Face, what can I do for you?
Unsurprisingly, Count Anderson and I have greeted each other in such a polite tone that it is a little stiff. I thought you'd solicit me more under pressure. The expression is a little stiff, too, but he looks like a pretty polite young man.
The Earl of Anderson, after staring at me jizzily, got a hand in his nostalgia with a face that came to mind. Neither me nor the Viscount cares about that behavior.
And...
"I apologize for the abruptness, but I apply to you for a duel!
That's what he said, he threw gloves at me.
... Sorry, I avoided it.
