Ore no Ongaeshi: High Spec Murazukuri (LN)

Episode 148: Water Capital

"Is this the capital of water?"

We arrived in the South Barbarian capital. Continue down Main Street with guidance from Raylan.

Many citizens' attention is drawn to the carriage of horses coming from outside.

But thanks to Raylan, the princess of the Nambarians, he safely continues down the street.

"It's a big city, though."

"Many of the people of the Nambarians live here, Yamato"

"I see, is that what you mean"

We will observe the streets as Raylan explains.

Exactly not as large as the Sacred Capital, but there are also quite a few residents of the Water Capital. It's about the size of a little city state.

Buildings are centered on wood, but not so low in civilization.

Anyway, it is surprising that there is such a massive capital in the tree sea.

"Yamato, look over there. There's a fort on the tree."

"I see. And that's amazing, Mr. Riesha."

There were many great trees throughout the capital. The city is spreading with good use of the terrain.

For such a sight to see for the first time, the faces of the wagon carriers were a series of surprises.

"This is a very complicated city, Raylan."

"The entire capital also acts as a castle fortress."

"I see. You mean a natural fortress"

Hearing Raylan's commentary, we move on through the city.

The water capital, as its name suggests, was a capital surrounded by rivers large and small. Surrounded by cliff cliffs and sturdy walls.

Inside, there's plenty of food, which would be just like a hard-to-beat fortified city.

"And so many armed citizens."

Many of the men who went to the city were physically fit and armed with bows and swords. The ratio is high to varying degrees.

"Adult boys living in Water Capital become warriors when things happen"

"I see. Are you a citizen but also a hunter warrior"

The Nambarians need to get food by hunting and fishing.

That's why men were trained in nature from an early age.

"Ah, princess. Welcome home!

It was when I was going down the boulevard.

A Nanban girl approached me. The nostalgic smile is impressive.

"I found beautiful flowers, so please welcome the princess"

"Oh, that's always lame"

The girl was giving Raylan the flower ornament she'd picked.

I suppose you're familiar with it to see from the exchange. Raylan is responding with a soft grin.

"Um... princess. The outside world..."

"These people are the benefactors of my life. I'm going to show you to the castle."

"Of the Princess's life? Then someone from the outside would like these flowers."

The girl also gave me flower decorations. And he walks away embarrassed.

"You're popular with the citizens of Water Capital, too, Raylan."

"Our tribe doesn't care much about the ranks."

According to the story, the Nambarians do not have a class system.

Great chiefs and citizens alike as one of the same warriors. So the other girl also spoke to Raylan casually.

"I see. That's why the water capital there has a nice vibe."

That is my candid sentiment.

Everyone was helping each other to be a closed tribe. And there was a smile on the children going to the city.

These great cities are rare on the continent.

"Okay, Yamato. That's it for the chatter."

The voice of Raylan, who was guiding me, changes. My expression was a little nervous too.

"That's the South Barbarian castle. It's my father's castle."

"Right. Is that it?"

A large castle was seen in the deepest part of the water capital. It is a robust building surrounded by multiple moats.

"The Great Elder? Well, what kind of person..."

A special boat will be required to cross the South Sea Islands where Maria is located.

In order to obtain the permission of its owner, the Great Sheikh, we went to look.

"Is Xama doing it with the Yamato in the village of Uld?

"Oh. Yes, Gowcak the Nanban King"

In Raylan's steps, I was able to see her father, Goukak. Nambarian king is the two names of this great chief.

In a large hall lined with escort Nanban warriors, we begin to see each other with the Nanban King.

These members are all but children and gatons. The voicemailer was waiting in the castle courtyard.

"Well, Gowcak. I want to go to the South Sea Islands. Give me the boat."

I speak for myself as a representative.

He wants to go help our own valued people. Explain that there is no other purpose and that if you help Maria, you will leave the tree sea.

"What... you want to go to that island? That won't happen."

Goukak's response was also simple. I come to reject you in strong words.

The voice released from the giant body contained a firm will.

"The South China Sea Islands is an important contraindication, given by its ancestors."

Goukak explains the Nanban code.

The boat that can go to the South Sea Islands is indeed in this water capital. But the landing of a normal person will not come true. That's why we can't let the boat out.

I refuse again with strong words.

"I see, is that the situation? Still, you tell the outsiders about the important code, right, Gowcak?

"You are the benefactors of Raylan's life. Return with righteousness for grace. That's what the ancestors learned."

Unlike his intimidating appearance, Goukak was a friendly response. He responds politely, even though he is sharp at times.

We also assumed havoc, just in case.

But so far, there seems to be no need to pull out the sword.

Sildria's turn, who was looking forward to the rough things, apparently seemed to be lacking.

"Reason for grace or... was bad information against the Nambarians still just a rumor"

As far as I've heard, there have been various suspicious rumors about the Nambarians.

You think you eat people out of your head? You think you believe in a suspicious evil god? Anyway, it was the subject of fear.

"Huh. The eagles risk their lives to protect the sea of trees. But I don't like to fight anything else."

Gowcak laughs with his nose at such rumors of the outside world.

Indeed, the warriors have eliminated with strength the opponents who have invaded the Tree Sea. But I assure you it is also only a battle of vigilante.

"Again, well. Rumors are like that."

I basically don't believe in rumors from others either.

The more stages the information was passed on, the more danger it ran of becoming curved. There will be many mistakes, especially in closed-door interracial rumors like this one.

"I see, is there such a way of thinking? Yamato is quite interesting for the outside world."

Gowcak stares at this one as we have a conversation.

And my eyes were lit with suspicious light.

"Huh? Does that have any power in Gowcak's eyes?

"Well, do you see this? A boulder."

Gowcak has an invincible grin, even as he is seen through his powers. The light in those eyes was stronger than earlier, emitting a strong magic (mana).

"This is the Devil's Eye inherited from Kazuo."

Just like Raylan, this man was drawing the blood of his ancestors thick.

Goukaku comes to explain the abilities of the Devil's Eye without covering up. With this “power to see through authenticity," he says, he can see through the other person's lies.

"Because of this, Yamato, I trusted you from the beginning."

"I see, that kind of karaki"

I could see why Goukak was friendly from the start.

As a benefactor for helping my daughter Raylan. In addition, he was measuring me with the power of his demon eyes.

"Yamato's words didn't lie or lie one by one, from start to finish."

"Sure, I don't like rushing."

I don't like far-fetched words, I don't lie. Probably a pain in the ass because I saw it from around.

But all this time it was helpful.

"But we can't ship to the South China Sea Islands. Otherwise, I'll reward you."

Goukak returns to his strong words and moves his gaze to the final stage.

King Nanban points to the gold and silver treasures he has made available, and asks for this one's wishes.

Sand gold production is abundant in the Southern Tree Sea. I declared that if I wanted anything but to let the boat out, anything would come true.

"And get out of the tree sea with a reward. Raylan, when you're done dropping them off, go back to the taxi village. Don't come back next time."

Goukak orders his daughter with perseverance. There was a firm will there as a king.

"Sorry... this is also... to protect the tribe..."

But I groaned so that no one could hear me, that one word of Gowcak.

There was strong mercy there. And the light of the demonic eye is also slightly white and cloudy.

(... I see. Is that what you mean)

I wasn't the only one who missed a moment of change in Gowcak.

Then to guess, Gowcak is hiding something. Probably something serious about Raylan.

King Nanban was trying to kick his daughter out of the water capital with false words.

"Well, Gowcak. I've decided what I want."

To find out the truth, I tell you one hope.

"Right, what do you want, Yamato?

"Show me the ancestral temple in this basement."

An ancestral shrine is one that Raylan has heard of.

There, the keys to the treasure left by the Nanban ancestors are hidden, they say, in the basement of this castle.

"A temple, ⁉"

"Kisama... that temple!

"I can't forgive Raylan enough for saving your life!

Against hope, the warriors of the escort abhor their voices. The warriors laid their hands on their lower back swords and were furious.

Not so long ago will the temple be important to their tribe.

"Guys, wait. You want to see that temple? You want the keys to the treasure too, Yamato?

In such anger, only Gowcak had fallen. I've put magic (mana) in both eyes to confirm this one's sincerity.

But at the same time, his right hand is hung by a barbaric knife. If I'm lying, I'm going to slash it and throw it away.

"I'm not interested in keys or treasure. It's for Raylan to confirm the temple."

"What... you think it's for my daughter?

Gowcak's face reacted pickly. The Devil's Eye shines harder to confirm this sincerity.

"I heard about Raylan's dream. I want to check the shrine for confirmation."

There was a hypothesis in my head. We wanted to check the shrine for confirmation.

"Yamato, you Raylan... can you save my daughter?

Goukak has visited in meaningful terms. Maybe the dream of the pioneering ancestors has something to do with Raylan.

"I can't make a sure promise. But let's do our best."

I promise to do my utmost. I don't know what secrets she has in her dreams.

But I am also grateful to Raylan. Until I do my best to return it.

"Well, do you have such thoughts... All right, I'll show you to the temple"

"Gowcak sama ⁉"

"Everybody, it's okay. This man named Yamato deserves to be believed."

My men bother with Goukak's decision. I would never have thought to show an important shrine to the outside world.

But the words of the great Nanban king are stronger than anything else.

"Oh, thank God for Gowcak's English break"

Thus we went to the temple beneath the castle.
