Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

"Is there really something that can be accepted by the challenger...?"

Sura Tan sneaks up on me.

“If what we make is really good, we'll admit it!”

The dwarf male soldier returned to Slatan's words in a slightly angry tone.

As for Suratan, I think it was a word with the meaning that people around the world would not be able to make something that could be recognized as the world's highest opponent like a dwarf, but it didn't sound like it to a dwarf male soldier.

"It simply means that there are not many people who can make things that can be recognized because the dwarf's technical abilities are amazing. I have no other intention."

"Hmm. That's good.

But fraternity is harder than a challenge. "

Huh? Really?

"For us dwarves, the Friendship Certificate is so important."

Whatever responsibility the bearer of the Friendship Pass has for his coming into the land, he has meant that he will receive it. That is, if he that receiveth the sign of friendship do evil in the land, he that giveth it shall also be punished. Even if you're not here.

Therefore, when the Dwarf hands over his Friend ID, it's also synonymous with saving his life. It's not something I can give you so easily. It's made of special materials and can only be held by one person. ”

"Was that so..."

I knew it was important, but I didn't know it was that important.

Seydel gave it to me...

"Didn't you hear anything?"

"Oh, yeah. I was told if I took this with me, I'd just go inside."

"I see. If so, think carefully about what it means for someone named Seidl to give you a Friendship Card without explaining anything to you."

The meaning of Seydel giving me my Friendship ID without telling me anything.....

Even if we don't go out of our way to explain it, we can't do anything wrong. If something happens to us, we can all be held accountable.

I guess that's what you think.

Without using words and with so much trust, it comes from just one emblem.

“Yeah, I'll let you do that.”

“What are you doing in this city?”

"I have a lot of things I want you to make."

"Those who come here are coming for roughly the same reason."

It is fixed that the outsiders may stay in this city for less than a month. If you want to stay longer, make sure you apply for a permit. ”

Okay.

"Don't do anything bad for Seidl, who gave you that friend card."

Of course.

"... All right! Get through!

Raise the bridge!! "

As soon as we enter the city through the three gatekeepers, the bridge will be raised.

"I was able to talk more normally than I thought."

"When I'm a gatekeeper, I get a lot of opportunities to talk to people outside." Rarely have so many terrible people been raised up. "

"Is that so..."

"First of all, I'll look for an inn." There aren't many outside guests in this city. There are almost no lodgings either. If we don't find out soon, we'll be sleeping outdoors today. "

"I don't like that." When that happens, we'll be looking for a place to stay first. ”

After passing through the gate and entering the city, you can see the streets inhabited by dwarves.

As I said at the beginning, if I were to describe this cityscape in words, it would be 'the city of iron and smoke'.

A house with much more metal objects than other cities and a strong overall sturdy image. Smoke rises from all over the city, and as it goes up into the sky, you can see it drift by the wind.

Of course, there are objects made of wood and stone, but compared to other cities, it is impressive that there are overwhelmingly many objects made of metal.

In addition, it seems that magic tools are used everywhere in the city, and there are various things that can't be seen in other cities. Street lights that will glow at night are installed throughout the city, and side grooves are made.

There are many other parts that are different, but in a conspicuous place, it is probably the vertical height of the house.

There are no mega buildings like skyscrapers, but two and three floors are built everywhere. There are fewer bungalows. In other cities, public houses are basically single-story buildings due to durability issues and financial problems. Overall, there are overwhelmingly few buildings with two or more floors. That's reversed in The Gumbel, so the oppression of the buildings when you walk into the city is something else.

Undoubtedly, this Zaaganbelle is the closest city to what modern Japan looks like.

However, Rikishi is a dwarf town, and the decoration is very detailed, and the appearance is quite beautiful.

Just walking around looking at the city streets is enough for sightseeing.

"Noo... this is amazing..."

I can see that the players who entered The Gumbel said that it was an unspeakable city. ”

There are a lot of metal objects, and I get the impression that it is a factory area, but it is a city with high artistry, and it is a city that has never been seen in the original world. Since magic and magic tools exist, it is usually possible to build structures that are physically impossible, so it is fun to just look at many strange shapes and structures.

How to describe this cityscape… Maybe the players who lived in the original world didn't have the words to describe it.

"Surely, it's a city like no other."

Is this the city of the craftsmen?

“If there were only a few chimneys, it would be the most artisanal city in the world.”

As for Cynthia, there are a lot of things that interest you, right?

"To be honest, it's quite interesting. However, for now, this is our priority. Now that we're in the city, we should have a chance to get to know the Dwarves' technical abilities right away, even if we're not in so much of a hurry. I'll do what I have to do.”

I can't go anywhere with Fluffler just because I'm intrigued.

"I see... I really don't see any lodgings at all, do I?"

While looking at the cityscape, I was talking and going north on the main street, but I couldn't find any lodging at all.

"The Dwarfs are the only ones walking, so maybe they're not on our side."

"Maybe not a lot of people come around here."

I have heard that there is an exchange with the demons, and if you go to the north side of the city that is closer to the demon world, you may also find an inn.

So we walk to the north side of the city.

The structure of the city is that the buildings are dense enough to go to the center. When you get close to the center of the city, the roads are too narrow and you don't know where to walk. Moreover, overall, tunnels and bridges have no height and are made to match the back length of dwarves, so they cannot pass without yielding.

But there are many near the center, and they are prosperous.

After knowing that, it's a structure that doesn't think about people coming from outside in the first place...

Because the shape is beautiful, the cityscape is messy and it is not dirty. Needless to say, there's an atmosphere like an old Western back road... and it's exciting.

”I have no idea where I can go north...”

"Is this...?"

"I wonder... over there?"

We're all looking for a way to the north, and we're trying to get a little bit out of the heart of the city.

In the vicinity of the center, the roads are three-dimensionally intersecting, diving underground, and the structure is such that the roads cannot be understood, and the maps in the head do not understand.

It's much harder to get ahead of a bad dungeon.

The city itself is probably bigger than Janoya.

If you don't know the way, it's going to take more than half a day to get from the south to the north of the city.

"Um..."

A girl talks to us when we're worried about whether we're going that way or this way.

The girl here does not mean a small female dwarf, but a young girl dwarf.

The adult female dwarf has seen this city many times since she entered it. As the rumor goes, they are men who have made the male dwarf a little smaller, and they have a fine figure with only a beard.

However, there is a girl who has no beard in front of her, and her hair is not braided with three braids, but is tied up on the left and right sides of her head. The age of the dwarf is difficult to understand, and I don't know if the expression "girl" is really appropriate, but at least it is not the age at which the beard grows.

It's unusual for someone other than the Dwarfs to be here, isn't it?

Since coming to this city, the Dwarfs have seen us, who are not Dwarfs, with a strange look on their face, and talking about something with a crook, and as a matter of fact, they have always reacted with concern.

Of course, you don't get close to talking to me like this, and even if you try to get close and speak out, you will go away.

Honestly, I didn't think I'd be able to show open reactions to other races so far, and I was about to break my feelings.

"A lot of things are going to come to this city."

”Um... just now, it was like I was gurgling around the same place...”

"Ahh... hahaha. I've never been to this city before. I want to go north and look for an inn, but I don't know how to get there.”

"I knew it, right?" If you don't mind, may I show you to your inn? "

Is it good?! It helps a lot!!

We knew that we were walking around in the same place. I'm grateful that she called out to me.

“My name is Shurna.”

The dwarf girl who called herself Shurna has brown hair, blue eyes, and a taller than my chest. It is a dwarf so I feel a little stiff, but not as much as an adult woman.

The clothes are worn together and I hold the luggage with both hands whether it is the return of shopping or not.

When we introduced ourselves one by one, Shurna asked with a smile.

As we head north, we walk to Shurna, and we talk to Shurna.

“People aren't very welcoming in this city, so it's pretty hard to just walk.”

"Even if I wanted to talk and listen to the road, everyone would leave." I was in trouble because I couldn't talk to you. "

"On the north side of the city, there is also an opportunity to talk to the demons, so I don't hate being so explicit, but I don't think it's normal to talk in other places. I know there are no bad people in this city, but I'm sorry."

"Oh no, you don't have to apologize to Shurna-chan."

Besides, you don't have to worry about being too close to the rest of the people, because it doesn't change much in any city. We're used to that too. ”

To be openly hated so far, I have never experienced it in other cities, but there are strengths and weaknesses, but I have had similar reactions, and there is no lie in Heine's words.

More solid than that... how old are you?

"I don't know if it's solid, but... I was thirteen a while ago."

"Thirteen years old?! That's why your parents are so well educated?"

"Thank you. My father and my mother are craftsmen and they are really tough..."

Shurna answers with a bitter smile.

However, the feeling of being praised by my parents is oozing into my face.

Do you want to be a craftsman, too?

“Yes, I'm still young, but I want to be a great craftsman like my parents in the future.”

"I didn't see what Shurna made, but I think Shurna can do it."

"Yes! You're such a good girl, I'm sure you'll make a good craftsman!"

"I'm glad you said that!" I'll do my best! Oops... "

I guess it was too tempting, Shurna was about to drop the luggage she had.

"I'm sorry I didn't notice. I'll carry the package.”

"What?! No! It's okay!"

"You're showing me around, so let me do this."

"Yes, yes... thank you."

I'll pick up the package from Shurna.

"Ngh..."

I was surprised to find that you had a package that weighed far more than I expected, but I didn't manage to get it on your face...

"Nevertheless... you're really into it." I can't remember this. "

"We dwarves don't know everything, so it's a very difficult structure for people who come for the first time."

“Why is it so complicated?”

“The city is said to have begun when the Dwarfs gathered to create a workshop that was uninterrupted.”

Summarizing what Shurna told me…

First, several Dwarfs built a workshop in the original location that was the city's center.

At first, it was just that they built a workshop to do what they liked without being disturbed by anyone, but when they did, the dwarves who thought the same thing gathered and built the workshops one after the other.

However, at first, there weren't many people, we had to work together to raise resources, and there were monsters roaming around here. Therefore, you tried to narrow the area that must be protected as much as possible, and consolidate the protection with a solid building itself. In other words, the building itself played a role like the outer wall of the city.

It seems that there is a reason why they are all solid buildings.

In other words, the center of the dwarf's workshop is gathered in the center of the city, and as you go away from it, you will be separated from the center. There weren't many dwarves who wanted to live outside the city, and the density of the buildings seemed to be decreasing as they went outside.

Thus, gradually, the number of people continues to increase, the number of buildings continues to increase, and by the time the city has grown enough to be called a city, the technical ability of the dwarfs has become called the highest peak in the world, and it seems to be the flow of building outer walls in the form of a chain nation, and building bridges.

“I see. I mean, people like the Dwarves who have the best skills are basically in the heart of the city.”

“I see. People say they're good at what they do, most of them are in the heart of the city.

However, it is definitely not that there are people who say that even if they are good, they don't like to be lifted in this way, and such people may live outside the city. "

"Like Shurna-chan's parents?"

Ehehehe. That's right!

Shurna nodded and laughed loudly as she shone.

You really like your parents.

“However, the opportunity to make big things or do something new is often in the center, so it depends on what kind of craftsman you are aiming for and where you are going.

If you want to do a big job or create a new product with the latest technology, you won't get a chance until you get close to the center. ”

What kind of work does Shurna's parents do?

“Basically, we make things for everyday use. It is a daily necessity, isn't it?

Our house is on the north side, so there is a deal with the demons, and it is a very popular shop. "

"I'm looking forward to that." I would definitely like to see it. ”

"Ehehehe." I'm glad you said that! I'm sure my parents will be delighted! "

As I continued my gentle conversation with Shurna, I continued to head north, thinking that there was no longer a complicated and strange path.

“This is our home!”

We followed the directions to one of the workshops.

A chimney is attached to the roof, from which you can see the smoke rising toward the sky.

The roofs, columns, and walls are finely crafted and look very tasteful.

It's just...

"We were looking for a place to stay..."

I was also interested in Shurna's home and her parents' products.....

Yes!

However, in response to my words, Shurna nodded with a pleasant smile.

"This is not an inn, but in this workshop, we have hosted people in need of accommodation for a cheap price, so we wanted to make sure you stayed with us!"

Huh?! Did you?!

Yes!

We were surprised to see Shurna's face as if she had succeeded in her mischief.

“By the time I got here, I had spoken to you, and I thought you were very kind. If you don't like it here, I'll introduce you to the inn..."

"I don't hate it!" I'm so happy! Thank you! "

Heine hugs Shurna and scrapes her cheeks.

"Ehehehe." I'm a little mean. ”

Oh! That's cute!

Shurna, who had caught Heine's heart, was delighted.

“Are you sure it's okay? You haven't even checked with your parents, have you?"

"That's okay!" My parents always praise me for bringing people in trouble like this! ”

The Dwarfs have seen the attitude we take towards the other side, but we've been able to get to know some of the best people here.

I thought it wasn't lucky in the dungeon, but was that luck turned around?

The boat was crossed on the reef and on the horns. There's no other surprise like this.
