I didn't know where the lord was, so I asked the patrol guards and walked to the lord. Most towns in this country have a manor and a mansion, and when the lord heads for the royal capital, the man replaces the city. While heading to the lord's house, walking while looking at the cityscape, it was sometimes a city of adventurers, and there were various shops such as weapons, armor, magic equipment and so on. On the way, I stopped by a stand with a delicious smell.
"Uncle, it smells good! Give me one skewers!"
An uncle burning a skewer notices Cain who looks like a child's adventurer and talks with a smile.
"Oh! You understand, shaven. Three copper coins. I'll do it right now, so wait a minute."
After roasting the skewers, I baked them in a sauce and started to bake them again.
"Hey, it's deliciously baked."
Cain gets freshly baked skewers and pays copper coins. And then, just cover the skewers.
T r a n sla ted by jp m tl.c om "Everywhere. But delicious!"
Watching Cain seem to be a child adventurer eating, he saw his father smiling.
"Speaking of which, what about this city? I just came today."
"What's just happening today? There are many adventurers in this city. There are many shops that process and sell the materials of the monsters that adventurers hunt. This meat has also been hunted by adventurers. And oak meat skewers. "
"Yeah. The oak meat is also delicious. This sauce is soaked well. When I first came out to the guild, it was entangled and I don't think it's very safe."
"Because the lords of this city flee from generation to generation under the pressure of the guilds, there are so many adventurers, the deputy is in control, but they can do only the minimum. Watch out for the subguild master running behind the scenes, oh, never say anything I heard from me. "
"Hmm. I'm a subguild master! I'll be careful. Thank you uncle!"
T ra n sla t ed b y Jp mtl .co m Cain waves to the stall's father and walks toward the residence. The manor house was on the north side of the central square. There were two guards guarding the gate of the lord's mansion. When approaching the gate of the lord's residence, guards spoke.
"It's like an adventurer, but this is the manor house. There's only a deputy.
"Is there a deputy today, tell me that Cain Ford Sylford Drintl, the lord of the city, has arrived?"
Cain issued an employment certificate from the item box and gave it to the guard.
"Is this a lord, I'm sorry, I'll tell Elive soon."
One of the guards returns a certificate of inauguration to Cain, and enters the mansion to call for a substitute. Cain was led by another guard to the hall of the manor house. Immediately from the next residence, the guard and the other civilian who seemed to be another civilian headed here.
"This is this, Viscount Cain, sorry to keep you waiting. My name is Elive, the deputy of the city. A notification has arrived from the Royal Castle. Elive is a forty generation, a little fat man. The head is a bit thin and mustache. It's like a civil servant who has been replaced by a commoner, not a noble. He was led by Dr. Ellebe, the representative of Drintl, and came to the reception room of the lord's residence. Elive sat down on the sofa.
"I'm sorry to hear you suddenly. I'm also registered as an adventurer, so I came to see if this city was exactly what I heard in the royal capital.
Cain was dressed as an adventurer. To others, it looks like a new adventurer just registered. Nobody thought it was a lord.
"I'm sure you've heard about this city, but I'm sorry as a deputy secretary. The guild has more than 1,000 adventurers, Because the guild has been refused to collect tax revenues, we operate only with tax revenues from the residents here, so we are operating in the red, I managed to do it with a subsidy from the country. ''
Sorry Elive replied. In other cities, it is common for clients to hire an adventurer's guild to pay taxes and guild management fees. This allows the lord to place adventurer guilds in the city. I think it is a problem in this city that more than a thousand adventurers do not pay taxes. It turned out that the guild was not working well with the government.
"I looked around a lot before coming here, but it seemed that the townspeople could live without problems ..."
The weapon shop, armor shop, magic shop, etc., which was called the skewer shop earlier, seemed to be prospering as such.
"Because adventurers don't save too much money. It's a life you don't know when you die, so I'm grateful that if you get a commission, you'll spend it in the city ... I'm running. ''
"First we need to get this town to the normal state. We'll be meeting tomorrow with the adventurer guild. We'll be the new lord, so we need to say hello."
"Then I'll give you a messenger to come to your residence to meet tomorrow. Would you like to stay here today?" Tr an s late d b y jpmtl .com
"No, it was a sudden visit and I'm going to stay in a town inn today. I want to see the cityscape a little more."
Cain wanted to see the cityscape a bit more with his own eyes.
"Then I'll arrange to come to the lord's residence after tomorrow's lunch. I'll prepare lunch here, so I'd appreciate it if you wake up before noon."
Elive responds sorry from beginning to end. Cain thought she couldn't help in that guild.
"Ah, Cain, you are strolling around the city, but when you go in from behind the South Gate, there is a slum area, so be careful, so be as close as possible to that ..."
Cain was surprised that there was a slum.
"Is there a slum in this city ..."
"Yes, the adventurers have collapsed or the children of the deceased adventurers have gathered ... I don't know the details."
"Okay, I'll try to stay away from it. I'll be back tomorrow."
Cain replies to Elive, leaves the manor house, and walks toward the west gate. I walked while looking into various shops. Although it was a bit early for lunch, Cain went into a store that smelled delicious.
"Hello! Welcome! Is it a stop? Or is it a lot?"
A cat-eared girl who was younger than Cain was greeted. He wears an apron from above the dress and his tail is shaking from behind. He is still 6 or 7 years old, with cat ears standing over his head. With her cute eyes, she looks into this.
"Is it a rice anyway?" "I see.
Sit at the counter seat under the guidance of the cat ear child. He turned Cain's consciousness into the kitchen to the smell of appetite from the kitchen.
T r a n s late d by jp m t l.c o m "Is it okay to buckle? Today is a troll steak. The buckle is nine copper coins. When you add a drink you will get one large copper coin." "Yeah. That's fine. Also add fruit juice" I understand!"
Cat ear daughter ran towards the kitchen.
"Otosan! One change!" "Hello!"
A father-like voice was heard from inside the kitchen. Before leaving, Cain thought about the city.
"The adventurer's guild will meet tomorrow. And the slums I just heard ... Recruitment to work ... "
When I thought about it, a meal came out.
"Oh, please!"
Cat ear daughter puts meal on tray and brings.
"Thank you, do you help me?
I get a tray with food from her cat ear daughter.
"Yeah, I'm helping you because you're sick and sick right now!"
Cain asked her daughter. Immediately, the cat's ear girl fell down and shook her ears.
"Church ... I want to go, but I don't have that much money ..."
He knew that he would get a recovery magic at the church, but Cain thought that it was safe to give it.
"Sorry ... I can use the recovery magic, so let's cure it." "Eh !? Really !?
T r a ns l a t ed b y jpmt l.co m The cat ear daughter ran and went to the kitchen.
"Are you going to eat anyway ..."
Start serving the meals served. The troll meat was moderately fatty and very delicious. The sauce you are wearing is fresh and matches this meat. The soup served with it was also very tasty, with vegetable dashi oozing out.
"Yeah! Delicious!"
When I was eating, a father-like person was brought out by a cat ear daughter. His father seems to be a cat beast and looks like thirties. With a mild face, he came out to the hall with a medium apron and an apron.
"The food here is delicious!"
Cain obediently says so. Cat ears father answered with a happy face.
"Thank you for saying that I'm very grateful as a person in charge of cooking. Even so, I asked my daughter that she could use recovery magic. "I understand. Let's do it after eating." "Thank you."
Cat ears father desperately bowed and thanked. After eating and paying, Cain was guided to the living space at the back.
"But, is the recovery in the church so high?"
I didn't know Cain, so I asked my cat ear father.
"In a church in the city here, one heel is one big silver coin. High heels are one gold coin."
Cain was surprised to find that a single heel would cost 100,000 yen, and a high heel would cost one million yen.
"That !!!! I won't do that even in the royal capital.
At the destination, a mother-like person was sleeping on a futon. He was the same cat and beast, but did not look very good on his complexion. She seems to be lying on the bed for a long time and is thin. The cat ear daughter is holding her mother's hand out of the futon.
"My wife, Himika. Thank you."
Cat ears father looks apologetic. Sitting right next to her sleeping mother, Cain held her hand.
"High heels"
At that moment, the sleeping mother was wrapped in white light.
