Ryuugoroshi no Sugosuhibi

Kosuke, who returned to the Sebsic continent, decided not to walk or carriage, but to return with metastatic magic. I've been traveling on foot for a while now, so I thought I'd just go home.

Return in two days, thanks to the four-degree transfer magic, the distance you cannot return in two or three days, even if you use a carriage.

I use the last metastatic magic while I think it's been a long time. It's not like Yusuke's home at Ellis' house, but I recognized it as the home to go home to.

Before, there was no Ellis and it became a tightened shape. The magic activates and transfers in front of the house while I'm thinking maybe the same thing will happen again, etc.

"I don't have a house right now!?

There was nothing in front of me because of a mistake in seeing a house I was used to seeing for a moment.

Looking around, I wondered if I had misplaced the transfer, and there was a field that Yusuke was about to build before. I haven't taken care of it, so the weed grows big but it looks familiar on the fence, so I'm pretty sure.

"Hey, huh? Kicked out?

Ellis transfers near Yusuke, who is grated and confused. I speak to Kosuke in such a good mood that I know him well at first glance.

"Welcome home. I've been waiting."

"Mr. Ellis!? I don't have a house!?

I pressed Kosuke, who was stuffed, with my hand, and shouted to calm down even after a deep breath.

"I kept it a secret, but I was getting ready to move.

The move ended seven days ago, and the house I had been using magically shrunk it and took it. So I don't have a house. You convinced?

"... magic can even do that"

"You can do a lot of things. Shall we go home then?"

That's what I said, with a pranky grin. Ellis offers her hand. Grasping Ellis' hand softly, Yusuke puts her mind to the new house.

The two disappear from the spot. There will remain a little square after that, but this place will also be covered in grass and part of the forest after a year. You two don't have any business here, so you never know how it goes.

After a little floating, the two showed up in front of their new house.

There are different types of trees around the house, but the environment is similar. The house is new, so I don't see any dirt as a matter of course. It has been made so sturdy that it has a soothing atmosphere. I guess there's a lot of magic and enhancement just like the previous house.

"Bigger than before."

"Because I built a room for Koske and a dedicated work room. I grew up for that. And I'll keep a set of tools in the studio."

"I'm happy with my room, but I'm not sure what a work room is. You keep carpentry tools and tools there?

"Oh, no, no. It's a room for magic experiments and tools. Though it is possible to make things."

"Even that room...... thanks. But it cost you money, didn't it? Should I give you some?

"You can leave. I already get it rather than that. From commissions to dragon scales and shrines."

"Oh, yeah. Well, that's nice. But I was wondering if I could use a work room."

Kosuke had nowhere to think about the money being spent on his own. Because the money I received was a lot of money, I didn't mind hearing that it was being pulled off and given to me.

"Not inconvenient."

"Well, maybe.

Speaking of which, where is this place?

"It's less than a two-day walk from Bellassen. Because too far away from Bellassen might get Bordos in trouble.

Come on, we can't help standing forever. Let's get inside. "

Once inside, there was a large entrance and the hallway was divided to the left and right. At the front there is also a staircase to go upstairs. At the end of the left hallway is a staircase to the basement.

"On the ground floor there is a living room and a kitchen and a bathroom and a toilet and a reception room and a library, as well as the workshop I mentioned earlier. Private rooms and rooms upstairs. The basement has a warehouse and a room for larger experiments.

You should check back later. "

"Yeah."

"Your baggage is being brought into the room. Finally, some furniture has been bought. If there's anything missing, you can buy more."

"Thank you. Then I'll leave my stuff."

"Um, like coming down because I want to hear about you on the trip."

Tell me where upstairs you have your own room and I'm going up.

Looking at the building from the front, on the left is a residential space, and on the right is a room or something. The size of the room is more than 10 tatami, which is what I think is spacious because of the Japanese feel.

Most of the things in my room are new. Clothes, underwear and towels are folded over the bed, while other groceries are placed on the desk and on the floor beside the desk. The luggage I left on the boat is with me. The room is still spacious as I originally had few belongings.

As Kosuke puts his stuff down, he also loses what's left of him. It didn't take long because I didn't have any particular focus on how to place it, etc.

"I guess this is it."

Deciding it wouldn't be ugly, Kosuke goes down to the ground floor with a souvenir and wash he bought Ellis.

I didn't know what the souvenir wanted, so it's the stain handkerchief I found earlier I went. They are made of special dyes, which change patterns and colors at temperatures.

"This is a souvenir. Everless dyeing."

"That's a dye of change. Thank you, I'll let you use it."

Offer a souvenir to Ellis, who was in the living room. Ellis spreads her handkerchief once and looks at the pattern, carefully serving in her folding pocket.

Tea and tea treats are placed on the table. Looks like herbal tea. Has a clean smell.

Sit in the chair in the front of Ellis and put the wash on the floor.

"Can I talk to you after the dragon exposes you? The dragon was wondering why he took Koske."

"After that, I went to the Ezembian continent. When I went near the continent, they threw me away and buried me on the beach. I got help from a former intelligence affiliate named Shyte who wanted to go through there, and we went together to pick up some good pills in my throat to the nearby mountain. After I got my meds, I went to the capital of the Principality of Calibarette, taught the singing princess a song and came back to Sevsick via Calhod after a few errands. You also went to the villages of the beasts to eat specialty dishes in Calhoud.

Briefly explains it like that.

That's why the dragon took me, but I wasn't sure. Perhaps it was something related to my favorite princess. "

"There's too much going on in there just to ask. If you let him act alone, he'll still be in trouble."

I say it with a frightened look.

"But I didn't know Shayt was in trouble, and I couldn't have predicted he was moving to see the royal family."

"You didn't hang out with the one named Shayt until the end, and you didn't think to figure it out in moderation?

"I was going to do that when I got the money."

"But?"

"I hear the singing princess had a divine commission. He said I was coming."

"Huh?"

Not knowing how Kosuke was informed he was going, Ellis raises a voice of doubt.

"I think I wanted the singing princess to teach me songs from different worlds"

"I see. Then I'll call it in."

"I had to go see him because I thought if I said no, it would be dark behind me. Oh, I got more titles then."

Show cards.

"A disciple of the singing princess? Does it do anything?

"Nothing."

"Right. There are more subtly difficult titles to use."

Unable to deny Ellis' words, Kosuke smiled bitterly.

This title is like advertising that royalty has connections, if you're not going to stand out, you can't show it off. Therefore, you should hide what you got like other titles.

"Did the singing princess hear anything from God about Koske?

"Just that I know a song that the singing princess doesn't know. There was no word for dragon killing."

"I hope so."

Ellis sipped his tea and swallowed the sigh that made him want to throw up at the same time. I don't think so, Ellis, to the question that has aroused me as to whether I will continue to be harassed about the troubles.

"Are you deciding what you're going to do?

"No, what's decided is enough to give me a souvenir. Sometimes I think I'll take a job in the guild."

"Well, you should relax.

Oh, yeah. Will Koske cook for me today? It's been a while since I've had delicious food. "

"Copy that. I'll come wash up then. Does Mr. Ellis have anything to wash?

"I'm done for today. You can get to the drying table by the kitchen door."

After walking to Ellis to teach her to do the laundry, Kosuke explores the house.

Next to the kitchen there was a pantry of about the same temperature as in winter, which served as a refrigerator, with shelves built on the walls in a small room about six tatami inside. The top of the shelf depicted a frozen magic formation.

Naturally there are books lined up in the library. How many books were in my hand, there were different kinds of books, not just magically related. But there are no books about magic that seem dangerous, and they are kept in Ellis' room.

The underground laboratory did not seem to have been used once yet and remained beautiful.

The underground warehouse is divided into two categories, daily items are placed in front of it and magical associations are placed in the back. The magical association went away without even approaching now to get Ellis's permission and then touch it.

Roughly look around and go out into the garden. I'm going to look for a good place to build the field I was about to build before I moved.

That's how I spent my time.

The next day, after breakfast, Kosuke heads to Bellassen with a souvenir. Transfer in front of Sidi's Inn and enter the Inn. Sidi was found immediately. Because I was working on something at the counter.

"Welcome...... Ah, Mr. Koske! Welcome home!"

Sidi turns up when she realizes that someone has come in and breaks her face when she realizes that someone is Kosuke.

"I'm home."

"It's been a long journey. I have a spare room, but what do we do?

'Cause I'm coming through the house.

"Oh. You're going to lose one customer.

Where's the house? I don't hear about the new building. "

"Outside, not in the city."

I was very surprised to hear this reply, but it quickly turned into something calm.

"Outside!? It's dangerous... Koske, is it okay because he's strong?

Take out Sidi's share of the souvenir while you snort at it.

"I'm magically protecting you, so there's not much danger.

This is a souvenir of the journey. "

What I bought was a fine, finely crafted wooden jar and the feeling of staying at the inn on my trip.

I made a brief report wondering if it would help me run the lodging in the future.

Both seemed delightful to Sidi, thanking her with a full grin.

"Thanks! Happy souvenirs! Next time I ever stay at the inn, I'll serve you."

"I don't know when, but I'm looking forward to it"

"Keep it that way.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Have you been to the guild yet?

If he hasn't gone, Kosuke shakes his neck beside him.

"The guild asked me to tell you to come when I saw you, Koske.

I don't think it's a bad story because it wasn't dark or the way you came up with it. "

"Guild? I'll go later. Then I'll take another souvenir."

"Mmm, see you later?

Leaving the inn to wave back at Sidi with a flickering wave.

Take that leg to the orphanage. The time of year is spring. The snow is soaked away and the look on the faces of people travelling to warm cheerfulness is loose.

I only buy souvenirs for people who are especially close to me. Clares also applies to this city, but we know Clares was on a journey, so we decided it was not necessary. If I could buy groceries, I would have thought to the guild, but I knew they wouldn't expire, so I stopped them.

"Hello -"

As I went in to greet him, I discovered Way watching the kids playing at the garden tip.

"Oh, Mr. Koske, welcome home. Weare is not out shopping right now. I thought I'd be back in a little while."

"May I have a moment?

Let me sit on Way's sitting bench.

"Yeah, I don't mind.

Speaking of which, I heard you were exposed to dragons, is that true?

"Yes. I don't know why you were exposed. We were transported to the Ezembian continent."

"... you've been through a lot"

"I was just exposed, and there was no such thing as being attacked, so I'm deciding to think I've had a rare experience.

This is a souvenir for the kids. I bought some of the toys I found on the trip. "

"Thank you so much for this. The kids will be very happy."

Hand over a fabric bag containing building blocks, dolls, puzzles, etc. This is all the souvenirs from the orphanage. I decided to consult with Wiale to see if it would be the best souvenir for the kids.

As we chatted over the tea served, Weale returned from shopping. He seemed to have promised to buy a treat, and the kids are swarming him up. When I didn't notice Yusuke, I went to the dining room to give him the treats I had bought, and I was thinking about doing what else I had bought, Way called me and I finally realized Yusuke.

"If you were here, I wish you'd call me!

"Hey, he seemed busy taking care of the kids."

Way and I also had a little fun wondering when we would notice. I called because I didn't see how I would ever notice.

Taking a deep breath to calm her feelings, Wiale looked closely at Yusuke and bowed her head.

"Welcome home."

"I'm home."

"I was worried. I'm so glad you're okay."

"I did get caught up in a little happening, but I was traveling fine. I've been eating something delicious."

"I'd like to hear what kind of journey it was"

"Fine."

We will talk about it all the time since we arrived in the Ezembian continent. I helped Shayt. I can't talk about the infiltration, so I blurred there. Still, I found out that I had met a famous singing princess and sang with her, and Wiale and Way were greatly surprised.

And the story of the Beast Man was a nostalgia for Way. Because my old buddy had a dog beast man. I didn't seem to see him in the last decade or so, and he looked nostalgic to see if he was doing well.

The story got quite long and we had a treat for lunch.

"It's time for your spare time."

"Do you have business to do now?

"Looks like we need to go to the guild."

"Oh, I hear you're calling something. He asked me to tell him to come when he saw me, too."

"Do you know why they call me?

"Don't you want to ask for a favor? You know, a lot of people really asked Mr. Koske to do it for you?

Wiale hasn't heard any details either, so I'll just have to guess.

"I wonder if so. Want to come with me?

"No, because I was going to clean today. Invite me again."

"Okay, bye"

Exit the orphanage and proceed straight to the guild.

Enter the guild and look for the face. The receptionist was a unfamiliar person, and looking around, there was Deanness, who was coaching Wiale.

"Hello"

"Yes, hello...... Mr. Watase!?

Speaking up and seeing Kosuke, Deanness is very surprised and attracts the attention of her surroundings. The noise arose around him, and he turned to Yusuke.

"I'm here because they seem to be calling me."

"This way, please!

I guess it's something we can't talk about on this occasion. Pull Kosuke and head to the guest room.

Ask Yusuke to sit in his chair, and Deanness takes his seat off because he has something to give Yusuke.

Back in the room, Deanness had bags and paperwork in her hands in a tense condition.

"This way, please"

"Mind if I look inside?

"Yes, because it belongs to Mr. Watase"

The contents of the bag are flash coins. It is not ten or twenty sheets. Deanness teaches you how many pieces you have before you count them.

"There are fifty of them all"

In addition to the flash coins, silver and gold coins were also sent, but they were exchanged by the Alliance.

"Is it fifty with flash coins!?... a lot of money, but why me? It's not because you contributed to the Alliance."

"This is not from the Adventurer Guild. It's from the Merchant's Guild."

"... Could it be Othello's"

The connection to the Merchant Guild is only about Othello related, and I can't think of anything else to do with Kosuke sending me a lot of money.

"You're right about what I heard. He came up with a new play called Othello and asked the Merchant Guild to buy and sell tools to play.

Mr. Watase's share of that sale is the flash currency.

Please sign this document. "

Write your name on the paperwork you're giving me.

Seeing that, Deanness exhaled a sigh of relief. Tell Kosuke why he looks at the situation in a strange way.

"Fifty flash coins is a lot of money. That's as much as the budget six months for this guild.

It was the thought of having such a lot of money by my side and all the staff being disturbed. I don't think many officials thought the devil would give it away.

That's why I'm relieved I'm gone. "

When the money was sent, it wasn't. At first it was about fifteen sheets, enough to think it was a lot of money. But over time, tension grew over the flash coins that were accumulating. There were many officials who shook their minds without thinking about a single piece of silver coin.

"By the way, out of curiosity, why do you have to get an answer, is that what you decide to use it for?

"Not at all so far. I have a place to live, I'm not ill-equipped, and I don't want to be extra luxurious.

Until I come up with a use for it, I think I'll keep it inside.

I can't think of any sudden spending money like this. "

"Right. I can't think of anything either."

Yusuke is not going to come up with a use in less than ten days.

"Speaking of which..."

"What's wrong with you?

Deanness asks Yusuke how she came up with something.

Nothing or Yusuke shakes his head to the side.

What I came up with is taxes. This much income, in Japan, is taken with taxes. But it didn't look like that here, and I wondered what was going on there.

I also thought it was weird to ask here, and I didn't ask. I decided to go home and ask Ellis.

There are taxes. However, unlike modern Japan, it does not mean that the amount paid is different depending on the income, but it includes two things: paying a certain amount and shopping.

Yusuke has not paid for the former. It doesn't mean it's illegal. The former taxes are paid by those living in towns and villages. Just like the old Earth taxes, I'll protect you from external enemies. Instead of paying for it. So Yusuke and Ellis, who don't live in the town and aren't protected, don't have to pay taxes.

There are beings who, like the two of us, have not paid taxes. Those are the adventurers who signed up for the Alliance. They may or may not live in a town or pay taxes. It doesn't mean you're being favoured. Instead of being exempt from taxes, there are non-refusable conscripts from lords. Besides, there is no salary for that military service.

It is tax exemption as a means of easily securing the combat power we are used to. Since salaries are paid for conscription from the general public, they are not considered favourable.

If you don't like conscription, you can pay taxes. Those who are not confident in force, like Wiale, do.

Anyone fleeing conscription will be turned over to all guilds and will be denied the use of the guild, and may be appointed as a cautionary figure.

"No, it's nothing. Is the errand that was called more just about the money?

"No, I also have a request for a nomination. I've turned most of them to someone else I can trust, but some people really want you. I wanted you to take those requests."

"I don't mind the basket, but can I just confirm the request today? You're just gonna take a request with a lot of money."

"If you can take it, you'll be fine.

This is your request, please confirm. "

It would be less than thirty pieces or so. How many originally were there because this reduced them?

I'll look at it from the top of the requisition where it was placed.

I want to throw away unwanted furniture, so help me out, and I have a lot of chore requests, but there are a few unusual things in them.

"Proxy for banquet art... you're even going to ask for something like this"

"Sometimes there are requests like that. Exactly. I don't think you have to take that."

"If you don't mind a song, you can take it, but what about there?

"Why don't you meet your client once and check it out? If you give me permission to sing, why don't you take it?

"Would you?"

Write on temporary hold and documents.

"Do you want me to come up with a proposal to develop a new product next? It's not about asking adventurers, is it?

"Yes. I've never seen such a request either. We think it was probably boiled down in discussions with people like you, trying to capture ideas from the outside."

"I need to talk to you about this too."

This request is also temporarily pending.

"Finally, I volunteered to be an apprentice..."

"What do you want to do?

Officials who initially received this request doubted their ears, applying for apprenticeship via the Alliance request. All you have to do is ask the person directly. The client replied to an official who asked unexpectedly why he would pass the guild so that it would be difficult to be turned down. I explained that if you go through the guild, you'll never get it, but he said this was fine because if you go through the guild, you can't throw out apprenticeship development on the way.

"It may be a good hand because it will be a waiver in the middle of the request and there will be a negative side of liquidated damages and a drop in trust.

If you're going to take this request, you better think of it as someone who might burn your hands so much that you have to use these means. "

"I guess I'll just say no to this."

"Maybe that's a good idea."

After leaving the guild, Yusuke noticed that it is possible that the title of the disciple is "Dragon Killer's Disciple". I did not think it was an out of anticipation for Yusuke, who has the title 'Disciple of the Singing Princess', and I decided not to take this request.

"Now if you'll excuse me. Can I take this requisition?

"Are you the type to get rid of things often? If so, I'll keep it."

I've never lost anything from hand except for coming here and being exposed to dragons. Based on that, Kosuke shook his neck sideways and decided to take it.

Saying goodbye to Deanness, Kosuke, who left the guild, goes home.

Then the woman who brought the apprenticeship request came to ask what happened to the request. When Deanness answers that he thinks in the direction of saying no, he asks me to negotiate directly with him once. Out of enthusiasm and annoyance, Deanness listened reluctantly to it and told him to come back tomorrow.
