My First Trip was to Another World

I decided to shop and wait until the cement solidified. I'm going to the weapon shop and the clothes shop today. I am not particularly worried because it is a store I am used to going to.... no, I'm worried about using 1000 gold coins. Because both are unexpectedly cheap.

So we all go shopping together. Let's start with the weapon dealer.

Speaking of which, you relocated.

"That's right. Do you remember the location?

"Oh, it's okay."

Previously the store was so small, but now it is moving to a fairly large store. The shop is on the south side of King's Landing. There's a little distance from here, so I moved closer with the metastasis magic.

The last time I came here, it was not long since I relocated, so there was no shelf. I have a shelf today. However, I feel that the number of products is extremely small. About half of the shelves are empty and the shelves are skanky.

Looking inside the store, the owner noticed us. I thought you might not be here, but you weren't worried.

"It's been a long time. How are you, buddy?

"Oh, it won't change. By the way, aren't there too few products?

Well... We've decided to relocate soon, so we're in the process of transferring inventory to you. "

The store owner answers while scratching his cheeks casually. This store should have just relocated...

"Are you moving again?

"Wow. It's getting cramped out here, and there's a nice place near the Adventurers Guild."

I'm sure it's close to the Adventurer Guild, but I think I've discovered a closer and bigger store. Looks like he's making a fortune. However, if there is so little stock, does it have the desired item...?

"I see, today is going to be a tough day. Should we change the day?

"I don't mind. We still have the minimum we need."

There seems to be no problem. Since it is a store that deals with all the stranger products, I think it is moving the stranger products first.

"Okay. I don't care, just fix up a few of our members' swords."

What I'm looking for today is a spare sword. I don't have any particular hope of wanting this. I'm going to leave it to the old man's choice. Even if you bring something strange, you accept it.

"Anything? You didn't break it, did you?

I see. If it breaks, I need a spare. "

"Hmm... okay. Wait a minute."

That's what the old man said and walked around the shop carrying a few different weapons, big and small.

"If you're a spare, you should have the same shape as your current weapon. The same sword for all of you. The material is better this way, so I might as well spare what I'm using right now."

It seems that the old man's care is similar to the weapon he is using, and he has upgraded it even further. Even with the same shape, the weight and weight are slightly different, so they cannot be treated exactly the same. Even after subtracting that, it seems better to replace it with this sword.

"Thank you, thank you. Let's buy them all."

"Ha ha! Looks like you're making money! Originally, there were 240 gold coins in total... but today it's half price. 120 gold coins."

"What? What are you talking about? I'll pay the full amount."

I wonder if this old man is suffering from a disease that he wants to discount. Why do you always try to overvalue it?

"I don't know... that's what you said last time, right? I feel sick all the time because I still owe you. Let's be honest today."

Yeah, I totally refused the last time I said I'd give it away. Remember the manners... I would like to pay the regular amount if possible today, but it is not an atmosphere that I can refuse.

"Really... I'm sorry. Well then, I'll definitely let you buy it."

I received a weapon from my old man and paid him to leave the shop. After receiving it, I realized... that I have a one-handed sword I'm not used to. This is probably for Irvin. You're going to rot. This could have been a failure.

Go back to the clothes shop.

Next, clothes. The usual clothes shop, right?

"It's okay."

I heard Luna's reply and went to the usual clothing store.

Weapon dealers were changing around, but this one was normal. Although I feel there is a slight increase in the assortment of products, it is the same as usual.

When I entered the store, the clerk called me.

Long time no see.

It seems that the clerk remembered our faces.

"Hey, you've been busy. Let me show you something."

Then I started shopping by indicating my intention to "not have to serve customers".

"Ah, yes. Please take your time."

The clerk smiled and put his hand on the shelf. Let me take a look at it.

This time, it will be stocked with ready-made products. I sold most of the monster skin I was always hunting to the Adventurer Guild and pushed the rest into the village of Elves. As a result, the skin on hand has a little bit of cyclops, auger and gold bore. It's not enough to tailor everyone's clothes.

My share was settled at once. A black-skinned leather garment that looks like a casual suit and doesn't seem to be intended for combat. A few other long cards and a few flashy pants. It's all black. I understand that there are other colors, but black is the best.

It's over for me, but I don't know about the others... Unlike a weapon dealer, the women are sparkling their eyes. Looks like it's going to take a long time.

"Hey, how about this?

Claire holds a pale pink dress in her right hand and holds it in front of her and speaks in a good mood.

"... isn't that nice?

I can only answer. And yet Claire is coming after us. He also had a pale pink dress on his left hand.

"Which do you think is better, this or this?

I think both are the same. I can't answer that. I don't have the courage.

"Neither suits you, right?

"... is that so?

Claire is a little dissatisfied even though she should have given a simple answer. What am I supposed to say? Claire isn't the only one who doesn't know the answer. Luna, Lily, and even Leeds are waiting with their clothes in their arms.

... what kind of struggle is that? I want to get out of here. I wonder when everyone's shopping will be over.

Then I began to hear a trembling sound from inside my magic bag. It's a transcriber.

"Oops, looks like the King's calling. I'm sorry, but I have to go."

"... why are you so happy?

"That's not true. I can't help it. Everyone can shop as much as they want, so spend all the money."

I gave Luna a magic bag with gold coins and left the store. We're heading for the royal castle. I mean, it's troublesome, but it's hard to go out with everybody's shopping. If you are told which is better, it is better to have a castle that you are accustomed to.

I moved to my usual room in the royal castle. It's always a dark, empty room, but today it's unusual to see people with lights on. Someone sitting on the sofa in this room who is not unnatural. King.

"Nice to meet you. I've been waiting."

I can tell by looking at it. I suppose you've been waiting for me in this room.

"You made me wait."

"Hmm. I've been keeping you waiting, so I made you wait today."

The king smiled faintly. I feel like I've been a bit of a pioneer. Well, I'm not playing any games.

"So, what do you want today?

My word clouds the king's face.

"You seem to be spending money well. Today is the confirmation."

You sound like you already know about the house I bought. I just signed a contract yesterday, but the information is pretty quick.

"You know, I almost ran out of my money."

But I can't read why the king's face is cloudy. As you asked, I should have spent a lot of money.

"Hmm. I didn't know you were going to buy that house... is there a problem with the house?

"Yeah? Nothing in particular, but is there a problem with the house?

"No, it was a rumored mansion. Suddenly the walls disappear, overnight they are covered by clams, and recently, suddenly stone pillars have appeared. If there is a problem with the land, we must deal with it as soon as possible."

The wall is probably broken because of poor drainage. The stone pillars are fine because I stabbed them. Tsubaki... what is it? Maybe the previous inhabitants did some weird experiments. They've been studying magic.

There is nothing wrong with the house, but there are some complaints about the land. Let me tell you at this time.

"I don't know about the pillars, but I think the rest of the rumors are about the land. The drainage is too bad, and even if I build a building, it will break quickly."

I think the house will break soon. The house I bought is in good condition thanks to its preservation, but the average house will be affected by moisture. Wood will rot quickly and stone will deteriorate quickly.

The stone pillar was originally meant to support the wall, so it can't be blamed for the land.

The surrounding area is flooded because it is a subtle pocket where water can easily accumulate. If we are to solve this fundamentally, we need to remove all the buildings and land them. Well, just adding more waterways and sewers is going to be a little better.

"Hmm... I've been discussing the matter. We'll start over from the compartmentalization stage, so we can't deal with it right away."

That means he was wrong at the time of compartmentalization. What was the person in charge doing back then...?

"I know I could buy it cheaply, but I think it's a difficult environment to live in."

provided, however, that this shall be limited to general housing. We are fully air-conditioned and equipped with air purifiers, so you won't suffer from moisture or mold. If they told me not to live in a normal house in that environment, I'd make magical modifications that day.

"Of course. I will deal with the land price that is too cheap for the rest of my life."

The king talked about the future with a good look on his face. There seems to be a plan to fill the land, eliminate steps, and make it a residential area for ordinary people.

The residents who live now are relatively poor, so they can build state-owned collective housing for them and live there cheaply.

Sounds like a magnificent dream story, but there are no obvious holes in the plan. If you insist, it's going to cost a lot of money. Maybe that's why you made me spit out the money.

... no, wait a minute. Does the plan cover the land of my house?

"Hey, I don't think so, but do you want me to leave the house sometime?

"Mm-hmm. Probably. I didn't think that house would sell. I didn't know that they would buy it....."

It seems that I was summoned today to give advance notice of 'Leave the house one day'. It's a house that I bought so I'm not willing to let go in peace.

"I'm already working on the modification. It's not going to be easy."

"I'm not saying it's free. Prepare a reasonable amount."

Anyway, I don't think I'm willing to give it up. It's too hard to build a magic house from scratch. It's too much money and hassle. Besides, if you close your eyes to the environment, it's not in a bad location.

"If you're gonna build the same building in the same place, I'd be happy to give it to you."

"Ugh... you're being reckless. I don't care how much you say such nonsense."

Are you threatening me? Well, when it's time to put the plan into action, talk to me again. I'll think about it in the circumstances. "

"Mm-hmm. I'll give him an amount that won't hurt him."

Ah... this one can be sold for a higher price than when I bought it. Wouldn't it be very lucrative if we bought the surrounding land at the right time?

Whether this thought appeared on his face, the king quickly connected his words.

"This plan is highly confidential. There is no need to say anything else. And then he's forbidden to buy the land around there. I can't even get permission to apply."

"... I know. I'm not buying anything I don't need."

It got stronger because I got hit first. I was really going to buy a lot of fish. The King probably wanted to nail me because buying more would cost more.

When I hear more about it, it seems that people who know the plan will be banned from buying land. In the unlikely event of a leak of information, they would cite the country and do their utmost to find the culprit before imposing severe penalties. Still, unauthorized purchases occur. You're in trouble.

I feel like I was forced to hear the plan without saying it, but it wasn't like knowing it would hurt. It was an unusual and fruitful conversation. By the way, I haven't heard back from you yet... okay. I'll leave the shopping to Luna and I'll go home first.
