As I hummed and swayed on my bicorn with those thoughts in mind, I saw a crowd of people gathered by the wall outside a tavern.
As I approached to see what was going on, I found that the people gathered there were my slaves.
「What are you doing?」
When I called out to her, the scalekin Mince, who happened to be sitting at the outer edge of the crowd, chomping down on something that looks like a Neapolitan roll, jerked up.
「Ah, master….thanks for your hard work desu.」
「You too. I’m just wondering what you guys are doing gathering around here.」
「Ah, they were reading the wall newspaper that Storo wrote.」
Storo is our slave who is famous in the city. A non-stop speaker who loves gossip, perhaps loves it too much, and is rumored to be born to talk.
So, did she finally get tired of talking and start writing newspapers…..
Looking beyond the crowd, it seems like someone was pointing at the document on the wall while reading it out loud.
「The Schenker family chef, Hunt-san, is about to get married! Upon hearing this news, this reporter immediately went to the house of Hunt-san’s lover’s parent’s to interview them.」
「Ohhh–」
「Alright, silence」
「The person in question claimed that they had a fateful encounter at a festival and it turned out it was the city councilor who introduced the couple to each other. In the next issue, we will attempt to interview Hunt-san herself to stay tuned!」
「What’s wrong with that?」
「She’s exaggerating things again.」
I don’t know what’s happening but please don’t do something like a public execution.
She was seriously worried about being seen as a high maintenance woman so she was not able to meet anyone.
However, I wonder if this kind of trivial gossip about our own people is interesting….?
However, even Mince, who doesn’t seem to be interested in these stories, is listening to it while wagging her tail.
I don’t know who drew it but there’s a picture and it’s even sponsored so it’s probably quite profitable.
「The following article is about Schenker Company’s Jerstan, who had a new lover…..ahhh!」
What happened to her? The reader suddenly stopped reading and pointed south.
What happened to my brother!
I glanced at the south and saw that the sky had turned into a faint rainbow color.
Signal flare.
A moment later, a WOOoooooOOOOoooo siren sounded in the city.
It seems like the siren magic construct I had been recently asked to make had been working properly.
Perhaps a behemoth appeared nearby.
A white winged dragon flew up like a surface to air missile from the city’s chivalry and accelerated as if it were breaking the magic circle deployed in the sky and disappeared toward the dungeon city.
I have a feeling that there are more and more of them these days.
I guess I was right to refuse the frequent cooperation requests from the dungeon city.
Our slaves are expensive and a lot of time was invested on them so we can’t afford to use them like those disposable adventurers.
The reader was running around to the crowd to gather fees, probably because everyone’s attention had gone to the sky.
That’s it.
I could have gone read the newspaper but it would have been too much trouble since I was on a bicorn.
Well, it’s not the first time that older brother had a lover.
Leaving the tavern and heading to the main street, the bicorn walks slowly.
A group of running children run past in short sleeves and dragon shaped kits behind them as if it was chasing them.
An adventurer drinking from a street vendor lays coins on the stall and frantically counts whether he can have another drink.
I gasp out loud.
The bicorn glanced back at me and looked forward again as if nothing was wrong.
I pat it on the back and look up at the sky to see a group of peach colored migratory birds flying toward the lake in the east.
Suddenly, I feel a presence and look back.
In the south, another rainbow colored light had been launched.
