Skeleton Knight, in Another World

The next day, the room was floating thinly so that the morning sun fell from the gap between the wooden windows.

Sit back on the bed and stretch to unwind your hardened body in a position brought to the wall. It's just a body with no muscles to solidify, but it's like a habit stained on you. Shake the neck bones left and right to do a trick to break the stiffness before getting out of bed.

Open the wooden window and take in the light of day into the room. Outside the window, facing the big street, the city had already gotten up and started its activities, even though it was early in the morning.

In the middle of the boulevard was opened the likes of the morning market, varied with those who sold vegetables, those who baked and sold meat, those who sold cloths and those who sold things like crafts, and the streets showed quite a bustle with the people and guests who went and went.

Check the money on your back and the contents of the hemp bag for the baggage you had on hand before leaving the inn. There is no one on the ground floor counter and the other guests leave the inn without saying anything. I guess this is ok because I pay the fee in advance. What a nasty business.

Out on the boulevard and restock the hemp bag on your shoulder. The gaze of the people who were on the street is directed at me at the same time and I feel uncomfortable. Does the whole body armor still appear odd in this kind of world?

Get your mind back on it. Let's go to a weapons store or a weapons store first and sell loot weapons.

There was a shop offering a design sign that crossed the sword and axe as it proceeded west down the street. When I went inside, I couldn't say it was very bright. There was a narrow, metal weapon and protective equipment in the store.

A bald-headed middle-aged man comes out of the back of the store with no hair on his middle back of middle meat. The man looked surprised for a moment when he saw this one, and he talked to this one.

"Sir, what can I do for you?

"I want to sell these. How much?

I take down the hemp bag that was lowered on my shoulder, untie the rope that was tying my mouth, and take out two of the six swords, one mace, and three daggers, a loot from the bandits from inside, and arrange them on the counter of the store. I decided to leave a dagger on hand because it seemed like it could be used for something.

The bald-headed master of the armorer takes them and looks as he pulls them out of his sheath and sees his sword body and ascertains the state of the blade. Eventually I turn my gaze here to see if I've decided on a buyout quote while I do my hand on my jaw.

"Does this song sword say 15 socks, other straight swords 5 socks, mace 7 socks 5 secs, dagger 1 sock 5 sec? The song sword will be for sale if you sharpen the blade as it is, but the other swords need to be rebuilt because the core is a lot damaged. Mace doesn't have a lot of demand here, so it would be something like this."

"That doesn't matter"

Fifty socks, five secs.

That said, I take fifty gold coins and five silver coins out of the back shelf and they come and put them on the counter. Put them in a leather bag that was lowered to the waist.

Horses and weapons warmed my nostrils considerably. The accommodation I stayed in the other day is like 10 silver coins per sek of silver coin and 10 silver coins per gold coin, so the calculation is that I can stay for 10 days with gold coins.

But I don't know when and where in this world I'm going to need money. I need to figure out something about how to make money within the margin of funds......

That's what I thought, and I asked the owner of the store who was behind the weapons I bought in front of me.

"I'm sorry, but don't you know if it's a good day's wage to fund your trip?

"Is that a dime? If you're a fine piece of equipment like your husband, aren't you still a mercenary? Mercenaries don't pay taxes on getting in and out of the city."

What a tax charge for getting in and out of the city, they say. When I came to this city I went in with the Rubierte family carriage, so I didn't know there was such a thing.

They say when you register a mercenary at a mercenary union office, they give you a mercenary ID, and when you show that to the gatekeepers, they exempt you from taxes. Because mercenaries frequently enter and leave the city for the convenience of their duties, they say that paying taxes each time doesn't make a living. They say merchants who have registered with a trade union have the same mechanism as this, but depending on the baggage they handle, it can be taxed or complicated again?

I leave the store to thank the owner of the armor store. The mercenary union office where my husband was talking was across the street from the armoury store. Because of this, the mercenary union's left neighbor says it's a merchant union building.

The mercenary union office was a wooden two-story building, and not many of the features I mentioned this, only a sign with the design of a sword intersecting the shield was posted outside. The double-open doors on the ground floor are open, and when you go inside, there's a counter in front of you, and over that counter, an iron fence is embedded up to the height of the ceiling, like a zoo cage.

There was a bear sitting in that cage. No, he's a bear-like figure man. Short dark hair with a barren beard, a black eye band on his left eye with a large scratch on his forehead, and muscular arms and open chest plates that are just ripe are covered with dark body hair.

Are women's social advancement lagging behind in this world? I've only seen hot, bitter men at reception and store numbers so far.

Approach the eyelid bear waiting at the counter reception. The eyelid bear gets a staring look at this one, but if he's completely armed, maybe he can't help it.

"Request mercenary ID"

Briefly conveying the matter, the bear across the cage left his eyeballs staring and his mouth appeared slightly distorted. Is this creepy sales smile the result of trying hard to do things I'm not usually used to... That smile is priceless in a different way.

"As far as your gear goes, you don't look like you're in trouble for money at all. There are tests for the payment of mercenary cards. It's like trying hard when it comes to exams. All you have to do is hunt three beasts you can defeat, warcraft, bandits, whatever you want out of these and bring that proof here. Easy, isn't it?"

The beast is fine, but is there still such a thing as a warcraft?

In the meadows and hills before I came here, I could see flocks of animals in the distance, but I didn't care at all about whether it was a beast or a warcraft. I thought it was a blurry, long idle landscape and watched.

And are you the object of a crusade even to bandits? Does the proof mean he's alive? I knew it... The bandits we picked up yesterday are already cremated, so we can't use those anymore.

"I understand. Three of them. I'll be back."

Leaving the mercenary union office, continue along the sprawling boulevard of the morning market on the table towards the west gate.

There was a place in the city on the way that sold a variety of leather products. They are arranged in a variety of ways, from small coin pockets made of hardened leather to leather handbags. Take one of them. It has a slightly ladylike shape, and the upper mouth area has a lid that looks like a cork stopper. It's a leather water bottle, and it's about the size of a capacity. It would be a necessity for travellers.

"How much is this?

"Hey husband, what about a sock?

The merchant laughs lightly and tells me the price is one gold coin. I feel like a piece of gold in a water bottle is just too high. I look at myself and pluck it up and see how it goes, that's the vibe. So I'll try to answer this one with a bit of intimidation and a swordswallowing vibe.

"Hmm...?

"Huh! Yes, I don't want to, sir. It's a little joke! What do you say with two sex-five squares? Hehe..."

Prices dropped to two silver coins and five copper coins at once. That's a quarter of the first price. Maybe this is still expensive, but I'm convinced at this price because it's cheaper. Give me three silver coins and receive five copper coins for the change. The leather bags in my wallet are full of gold coins and it's a little hard to find silver coins. Perhaps we should split it in a different leather bag for each currency.

He also sold a large hemp bag in the city, so he bought one for one sec to put in his hunted prey. I paid with ten pieces of copper coin to lighten my wallet at all.

Finally, I bought it because I was selling a bunny meat vanilla grill at a city store that smelled good on the boulevard. The price of two pieces of copper coin was likely to be the amount for one rabbit. Wrapped in leaves. This is for lunch.

A short detour through the private house at the western edge of the boulevard reveals a small square in front of the West Gate. The square is drawn with stone waterways, like water bridges, from which water flows down to the lower waterways, a little higher. Do they use it for drinking water there, pedestrians exiting the west gate put water in the water bottle, and a woman from a nearby private house came to fetch water with a pot. There were people washing vegetables, etc. in the lower waterway, and downstream there were women doing laundry. There was a waterway like this in the East Gate as well, but when I came in yesterday it was already late so I didn't see so many people.

As we approach the waterway, the pedestrian walls quietly split left and right. It's like Moses, but I also feel the instinct of someone who simply avoids dangerous objects.

Lightly wash inside the water bottle with the water from the waterway, fill the water bottle with water and do the cork plug. Is it about two to three liters? Put that in a sack for luggage and head to the West Gate.

In the west gate, the pedestrians, along with the wagons, are undergoing a luggage inspection of soldiers in front of the gate. There is also a mix of pedestrian escorts around. There are not so many people lined up to leave because of taxes on getting in and out of the city.

As I approach the West Gate, I can be stopped by an eyed gate soldier who is obviously wary of this one.

"Stop! It's three seks to leave the gate."

Ignore that call and take the pass you got yesterday from your luggage bag and show it to the other person. The gate soldier looks at it and alternately looks at this one with the passes shown at hand, grumpy and jaw-dropping the gate. I guess it's good to go through.

When I left the gate and crossed the stone bridge over the water moat, the fields were spread around as much as I saw at the East Gate. In the field, the people who take care of crops can see potatoes and all over the place. I can see that each farmer who takes care of the field raises the same simple wooden plaque on his neck, which is also like a pass.

I'm going down the street in the field that leads west, thinking about what doesn't matter, that I won't be able to live without a pass.

[Dimensional Walking Method (Dimensional Move)] I want to move around all at once, but I have to refrain from acting too prominently in the presence of a glimpse of this one from inside the field. Only he stands out.

Besides, I've never seen anyone using magic before. If magic isn't a common thing in this world, it's the worst thing that ever happened to me when I used magic to treat me like a witch and interrogate me.

At least magic like a spatial leap would not be common. If this magic is common, you don't need a horse or anything.

I decided to move my legs very hard here.

The streets go up a slope somewhat, and the sight opens when you come to the high ground where you can see the area. The big river on your left stretches as you make a big bend to the southwest and serpentine.

The streets are divided into two parts a little down the hill, one along the river as before and the other in a northwesterly direction. There doesn't seem to be any fields spread out this way from the hills, and people disappear. Now that there are no pedestrians, you can earn distance by [Dimensional Walking Method (Dimensional Move)] at once.

The northwest side of the street. Without a map, you can get lost if you're not too weird off the street in this view where there's not a prominent building.

[Dimensional walking (Dimension Move)] is quite useful in a wide field of vision. Even a kilometer can be lightly transferred. However, there is also the disadvantage that a wide area of vision is, on the contrary, easy for people to find. If we don't be careful, we're in trouble.

After some time on the northwest streets, you will find a sprawling area of miscellaneous woods off the streets. There will be beasts there to prey on.

Transfer all the way out of the woods at once and step into the groves. If there's a dangerous warcraft or something out there, it's a runaway hand for now.

Go through the woods, moving fine in search of prey. The range that can be transferred is also naturally narrower because the vision is narrower than that of the plains.

However, it is quite remarkable in silver armor in the woods. None of them are hidden in the hunt.

After a while in the woods, I found two boar-like animals in a slightly distant place like Sawa. He is a little over a metre long or his hair is gray-brown and sloppy in shape, characterised by two long fangs that arc.

Are the two resting in Sawa or they don't move much from near Sawa? Pull out the sword lowered to your hips as you peek through the wooden gap. At the same time that the light of the thin pale zeroes out of the sheath, a rubbing sound of cool metal rings.

When the sword is set up, the [Dimensional Walking Method (Dimension Move)] is used to transfer near the side of the boar simulation (also) at once. At the same time as the transfer, the sword sweeps off the forefoot and hind foot on one side of the boar simultaneously in front of him. He moves further back to the side of one and slashes off the front and rear foot on one side as he did earlier.

The two boar simulators fall as-is on Zelig, making a screaming noise. Stick your sword in your belly as you continue to rush over quickly as you fall over. Still screaming, blood was pouring out of his stabbed belly and slashed legs.

As Zelig's water is dyed red and flowing downstream, the boar simulation scream gradually loses power and becomes smaller.

You can probably eat this boar-like animal, so if you take it home, it should be somewhat of an addition to your earnings. In this case, I have heard that if I die instantly, my blood will remain in my body and my flesh will smell, so I will break my stomach and bleed out with my heart moving.

It made me think once again that eating meat deliciously is quite cruel, watching the two boar simulations that make the ringing weaker.

And I remember having a vanilla grill of rabbit meat I bought this morning. Sit back on the rock on the banks of Zelig and take off your armor helmet. When the wind soars, the trees of the woods whizz, blowing through with the quiet water sounds of the water flowing in Sawatari. After breathing in and stretching a glass of fresh air, pull the luggage bag over and remove the bunny meat vanilla wrap from the inside.

"I'll have it."

After joining hands, untie the wrapped leaves and chew the rabbit meat with a hand grasp as it is. Its meat, with a hint of vanilla and a little dark saltiness, tastes pretty good without any weird habits. There was one for me. The meat was gone in no time. Take out the leather water bottle I bought this morning and drink the water.

As always, I myself wonder where the food I eat disappears, but I'm thankful to be able to eat and taste it.

"Thank you very much."

Finish greeting after meal, wash your hands with Zelig's water, and lower back to the rocks again.

You're off for once.
