Chapter 489.1

In the Imperial Capital (3)

“Hmm, the city has recovered quite well.”

I thought to myself as we walked through the Imperial City.

I remembered this area.

It was the place where I had fought and killed the Undead Corpse Dragon during the war.

A huge hole was opened and the whole surrounding area collapsed, forming a pile of rubble.

Now, the streets had become so clean and vibrant that there was almost no trace of the war. The large hole that used to be the blast site was completely sealed off.

The reconstruction from the war was done with the cooperation of many countries, and I heard that the dwarves, who were especially good at building, took the lead in helping with the reconstruction.

“At any rate, we had to clean up the remains of the war as quickly as possible. If those things are left visually, the human children will remember the battle they lost.”

[Hmmm... if they didn’t hear that there was a war, they wouldn’t know it. They should only know about interacting with other races, as it is a nice scene.]

Apparently, this area had become a marketplace.

Although most people were humans, there were also many other races walking in and out of the market, and it was apparent that they were interacting with each other in a normal way. FOlloow newest stories at no(v)el/bi/n(.)com

The Imperial City became a central relay point for airships, which were also deployed on a large scale and started to operate in many countries, so tourists now come to the city quite often.

The economy was also growing, and to put it bluntly, the economy was booming more than before the war, and thanks to that, many things were starting to turn out well.

The relationship between different races was progressing slowly, but surely.

It may sound like pure capitalism, but money was always a necessity for people to survive.

When one had enough money, one would not be required to work all the time, giving them more free time, and with more free time, one had enough time to relax.

If the heart becomes relaxed, there would be fewer reasons to have fights.

Money may not be everything in the world, but it was important nonetheless.

It was really a positive move to set up a relay point for the airship’s air route here.

I guess the King’s people have a good vision.

I could rest assured and leave the country in their hands for now.

“...yummy.”

“Yummmm! Enne, you have a very good eye for food!”

“You found a good one! Cool!”

“...Nn, Enne’s eyes never miss anything tasty. Enne, the gourmet hunter, is here!”

“”Oooooh!!””

“Haha, well, actually, Enne-chan goes to all sorts of places and eats all sorts of food with Oni-san. Perhaps Enne-chan has the most discerning palate of all of us.”

“I think so too. When I cook for her at home, she can even tell what seasonings I used.”

“I didn’t know she could do that.”

Enne puffed her chest out as we focused our attention on her.

“...Hmm. Eventually, I plan to become a master chef as well, so I can cook a lot of food and help Layla.” (Enne)

By the way, Enne was a master at cutting, so at the moment Enne was the best at making sashimi.

“Mmmm! That’s something I can’t lose! I’ll learn to cook a lot and help everyone!”

“Umm, Shii... will stick to eating.”

“That’s a coincidence, I’d like to specialize in that too!”

“But Lyuu, you’re not a bad cook anymore, you’re good enough at cooking, so you don’t have to say you specialize in eating, right?”

“! Is that so? Well, hehehe... if husband says so, then I’ll work even harder at cooking!”

“Eh~ Lyuu, that’s a bit of a surprise, you know...”

“Shii, a woman has to grow up!”

“That’s right, Shii! Let’s cook together as well!”

“Hmm... When I get home, I’m going to start training.”

“Mmmm...I can’t help it, if you two are so motivated, I’ll just have to go along with it!”

“Kaka, hang in there, you little girls. I’m not very good at it, but even I can cook a little now. You should have no problem with it once you get used to it.”

“Yes, I’ll do my best, as a big sister!”

“I’ll do my best!”

“...Making and eating delicious food is the essence of cooking.”
