CH 36

And we are currently headed towards the floating sea town. I am riding Ketorami-san and am lying hidden at his neck to avoid drawing attention.

……this would be bad if this world’s people’s default is black eyes black hair.

Well, according to the [Alive Grimoire], [I should change my appearance to hide that I am an otherworld person], so that should mean [If I change my appearance, it won’t be apparent I am an otherworld person] or [If I don’t change my appearance, it will be apparent I am an otherworld person].

And to sum that u—p, it means that we can infer that their appearance is probably something that makes the default Japanese black hair black eyes be announcing we are otherworld people.

And so I thought, wouldn’t a blue eyes white human be quite otherworld person-like?

….english is an alien language after all

And we arrived at the town.

There is a soldier-like person near the entrance, seems like he are watching over who enters town.

Ah, since I am being treated as a servant, right before we got to a distance where we could be seen from town, I got off Ketorami-san and slowly walked behind everyone.

……everyone is surprised by how slow I am, but I’m the one that is surprised by how fast everyone walks…… My point of view is the correct one alright?

Maito is normal yes

“That group with the wolf! Stop!”

And of course, we were stopped at the gates.

O, ou. Ketorami-san really stands out. We stopped here for now.

Someho—w, I felt like it would be better for me who is more adaptable to step out than for anyone else, so even though I was at the back, I moved to the front.

“……mu, that hair, eyes……could it be foreigners?”

Now then, the soldier at the entrance is muttering something, but this is the turning point.

If we are taken lightly here, these is the chance that this is the end of our story.

I don’t know how they determine our social status, but at the very least, nothing good comes from being taken lightly.

Then this is my time to shine!

….save and load

“These people are the sons of certain powerful nobles of a foreign country.”

While having everyone standby, I stepped forward alone and with a firm attitude, lied.

Yes, a downright lie. What sons of powerful nobles. I know I said it, but it’s so questionable.

Ah, I feel like everyone is making strange expressions behind me.

“Mu, as, as expected. I was thinking that their hair and eye colours were unusual. But I did not think that they were nobles. Please excuse my impoliteness.”

Ah, black hair and eyes really were rare. He—h.

And soldier-san easily believed the lie, straightening his posture. What a good person, so honest and polite. And so easy to deceive.

“And, er, that wolf……?”

Ah, mhm, yeah, you would be curious.

“Part of the household of the nobles. It will not harm people.”

See? When I turned around like that, Ketorami-san loosely shook his tail from side to side.

“I, I see. Then that is fine. ……then, what reasons do these people have for visiting this town?”

Okay, stage one clear.

……but, now. Reason, hm. ……nn—, we just felt that first contact with this world’s people being at the castle would be bad.

“They have certain circumstances and are in the middle of a journey.”

Ah well, this isn’t really a lie.

“Circumstances?”

Ayaya, but he is acting strangely doubtful……not really. From the looks of it, it’s his personal curiosity.

Hm. Okay. Then let’s tickle that curiosity a little.

After acting like I was taking a peek at everyone who are standing by a short distance away, I stepped closer to the soldier-san, beckoned him closer and whispered into his ear.

“It seems like they are looking for something. I am not told about the details though……”

When I said it as if I had just leaked some important information, the soldier-san showed interest.

what kinda name is that

“Aah, that was tense……”

It’s that kind of thing, things you are not used to.

“Really? I was listening with [Sharp Ears] and it didn’t sound like that at all. ……actually, it’s amazing how you can do that so easily, well. Iya—, Mai……no, Mary-san’s sca—ry.”

confident

The town is as expected of a town.

There are a lot of people.

And those people, are really colourful.

Of course there is blond, then there is orange, pink, purple, blue……when it comes to the worse ones, there is a gradation of sunset colours. As expected of another world.

And the objective of those people, is the street stalls on both sides of the main street.

“Cheap Chea—p! Beautiful onee-san over there! I have an accessory that will match you!”

“Citol candy, Citol candy anyo—ne?”

peasent

……mhm. I’ve someho—w, grasped the market prices.

Kind of as expected, [Alive Grimoire]’s prices is overall more for the higher class, clothing or luxuries are actually slightly cheaper than the prices [Alive Grimoire] said.

But it was on the dot for foodstuffs or daily necessities.

Only sugar was exceptionally expensive, there’s probably some circumstances for that.

That book is actually quite reliable.
