394 Episode 386: Arrive in East Town of the Katlanda Empire. Talk about a workshop on the verge of bankruptcy...

"You're here.

"You're here.

A pair of men and women were boggling around the town gate looking down the street.

The two names are Phil Arkin for men and Heather Brooke for women. Together, I'm a member of the Second Intelligence Squad of the King's Capital Guard of the Kingdom of Azpur...

The person on the road was passing by feeling "a good couple is relaxing".

------------------------

Takeo and the others came as close as they could see the East Town Gate.

"You're on schedule.

Takeo says as he looks at the clock.

"Yes.

I know it's a little early... but it's on schedule.

I was surprised that Lord Kitamizato was putting his care on his horse during a small break.

"Miss Alice told me too... is that so weird?

"" "Yes!

Everyone replies.

"Horses are creatures too, so I don't think it's a problem to call them..."

"We have learned not to call anything but an emergency.

Bart says.

"Why?

"If the horse gets used to care, it could stop moving if he doesn't do it every time.

Therefore, there is nothing to be done except during the emergency run-through instruction.

"I see. Now let's not do as much as we can in the future.

Takeo nods.

"Lord Kitamizato, Lord Meyer, I've been waiting for you.

And, couple-like people traveling come close and men speak up.

"Lord Kitamizato, these are the other two.

Says Meyer as he sends his sights to the two of them.

"Lord Kitamizato, this is Phil Arkin of the Second Intelligence Squad.

Good luck with your trip.

"I'm Heather Brooke.

Lord Kitamizato, I've been waiting for you.

Hit and change with the two of them yesterday. This one greets them with a smile.

"Yes.

Nice to meet you, I'm Takeo Kitamizato.

Please accompany me between now and the return of the King's capital.

"" Yes.

Takeo also goes down the horse to say hello.

"Well, it's early to get there...

Lord Kitamizato, what will you do now?

Are we going to the store where we want to go?

Arkin asks Takeo.

"Right...

I think I'll go to the inn first and rest.

I think I'll go to the store tomorrow.

"Okay.

Arrangements have been made here in advance for the Inn.

I'm just... I'm sorry, but you can't secure four private rooms.

We were only able to provide a long-stay room with three rooms and a living room, a simple kitchen and a hot water mill.

Brooke says sorry.

"No, I don't mind at all.

It's good to have a kitchen that I wanted to request from this one.

It's even better to have a hot water mill as well.

Takeo said, "Is it about 3LDK?" He thought of the room with pleasure.

"Thank you for saying that.

Then let's head to the inn.

Burt, Follett, do you mind?

Brooke gets confirmation from the two of us.

"" Yes.

and reply.

"So, Lord Kitamizato. Let's just go to the inn.

Everyone moved on to Meyer's words.

------------------------

"Huh... 30 years since I started this store...

Like it was short, like it was long... "

A man looks around the store for tea in the store.

The store was cramped and crates were placed, and the shelves lined with items that were just waiting to be finished.

"I thought I could make a breakthrough with Mr. Steno and go...

Ha... you don't have the luck to make me either... "

This man, the lord of this workshop, says Alejo Vicente.

Originally, he was not good at making big swords, shields and full plates, and he worked on big man designs with magic rings and requests from each workshop.

"Tomorrow this workshop closes...

Yes... I need to close it... Ugh... "

Alejo is so grunting and tearful in the store where no one is.

"Dad..."

There was a young man who saw such a father from the workplace behind the store.

It is my son Bachito.

Alejo goes to his son when he notices his son looking at him and wipes his tears.

"What... Baquito... were you there?

"Dad, did this happen because I handled this product with Mr. Steno?

"... it... turns out it is...

But Bachito, Mr. Steno is not wrong.

There's a union of magicians in this country... and there's something wrong with the politics of this country itself.

Alejo says his thoughts toward Bachito.

"Mr. Steno... the blacksmith Steno was definitely the best conceived workshop in this country.

Neither the idea of a small gun nor the idea of a clock is wrong.

In order to make this country stronger, Mr. Steno and everyone else were squeezing their wits in order for people to live a regular life.

And for the first time in history, non-magicians created a weapon that could be attacked on par with magicians.

This is groundbreaking. As an artisan, that workshop deserves respect.

And I'm proud to be a craftsman.

"But... the Union of Mages..."

"That's... to be honest, Mr. Steno's ideas were too innovative.

The times are not yet upon us... "

"Dad... what are you going to do now?

"I don't know... I'll have to work as a blacksmith in the region until most of it cools down.

Besides, if I don't fold the store now, I'll make a debt.

You can't even sell it now, but you can't make debt.

Makes you feel hard... but bear with me now.

One day the time will come for our technology to be recognized.

Don't blunt your clockmaking arm until then.

Continuing to make it is a testament to craftsmanship.

"Okay... I'll stand it now.

Baquito snorted at his father's words as he bit his lip.

------------------------

"Oooh."

When Takeo and the others enter the room, Mia jumps out of her pocket and flies around the room.

"Nha!"

My balls go after Mia.

"Ha. Mia, balls, it was cramped on the move.

You can enjoy it to such an extent that you don't break things.

Takeo complains bitterly with a grin.

"Yes!"

"Nha!"

The little ones flew through each room and checked it out.

"Ha, Lord Mia and Lord Tama seem to enjoy it.

"You've been making a big deal out of me on this trip.

If it's in Elvis territory or in the royal castle, I'll let it fly around relaxed...

I guess we'll have to put restrictions on boulders otherwise.

"Well... I guess so.

And, Lord Kitamizato, what about the ingredients you bought?

"Oh, on the living room desk, please.

Yes, Takeo says. Put down the bags of ingredients that Arkin and Bart bought on their way to the inn they had.

"Well... what about room splitting?

Me and Mia, are your balls good in the living room?

"" No, no, no, no. ""

Everyone puts in a scratch.

"What? Everybody do.

Takeo wonders.

"Lord Kitamizato is the leader of this journey.

Use a large room.

That's what Meyer says. Everybody nods.

"Huh? Because...

Mr. Arkin and Mr. Brooke, Mr. Burt and Mr. Follett, Mr. Meyer... you wouldn't have any other room, would you?

"That's right...

No, Lord Kitamizato will use one room.

I'll sleep in the living room.

Meyer laughs bitterly.

"... isn't room splitting strange?

Bart disputes, but...

"" Isn't that strange?

Takeo and Meyer dismiss with a grin.

When Arkin and Bart said, "Who taught these two extras? ♪ I can't believe it. ♪

"Lord."

When I entered the room, Mia, who was enjoying herself, came back quietly and stopped on Takeo's shoulder.

He comes under the desk in the living room with Tokotoko without saying anything, either.

"Mia, what's wrong?

"There's probably magic equipment in the room next to the front door.

What was the intent of that?

Takeo and Meyer look at Arkin and Brooke in the face in Mia's words.

They both shake their heads looking stunned.

"... do you have any idea what kind of magic equipment it is?

"Lord, I don't know that far into boulders.

I just... felt like I didn't have it in the other room, so... I think I have some kind of magic equipment.

Mia roars and says, "Mmm..."

"Mr. Meyer, what do you think it is?

"... Lord Mia, where was that around?

"I could feel it from a small painting.

"Probably like eavesdropping, but...

It's hard to intend to set up an inn bedroom.

I know it could be a little more expensive for a diplomat to stay in... "

Meyer bothers me.

"By the way, you're not anywhere else, are you?

"Yes, the only discomfort is the painting in that room.

"Lord Kitamizato, what shall we do..."

Bart asks.

"Hmm... it doesn't feel good to have someone ask you if you're talking light.

Mr. Meyer, please use the men to remove all the paintings in this room and return them to the receptionist.

"Everything?

"Yeah, it's everything.

The reason is... balls.

"Nha."

My balls reply and tilt my head.

"Please tell me you can't scratch the painting because you have balls and ask me to pick it up. Tama, please go with me and stick your face together.

If anyone is uncomfortable at that time, please report it later.

Come by the receptionist for more tricks to tilt that head.

"Nha."

My balls snort.

"Okay.

Arkin, Burt, take off all the paintings. I'll take it to the reception right away.

"" Ha!

The two start acting quickly.

"Lord Kitamizato, what shall we do?

Brooke asks.

"... dishes would also be suspicious if there was a bug.

It's a short stay... do you want to go there without hands either...

Excuse me, but Mr. Brooke and Mr. Follett should go buy dishes with me.

"" Yes.

"Mia, check each room with Mr. Meyer again.

Follow Mia and Meyer's instructions.

"Nha."

"Lord, I understand.

"So shall we both go shopping for a while?

Ah, Mr. Meyer. Alice, don't tell the lady.

"Okay.

Don't tell me Lord Kitamizato went shopping with flowers in his hands looking fun.

"Yeah, if you don't want the Wang Metropolitan Guard to do the same thing as the previous 2nd Knights, you better not say it.

Takeo says with a bitter smile.

The remaining five people said, "You can never tell." He went into his heart.
