Chapter 127: Gold Medal
A large lodge was completed in Luganda just prior to the Four-Town Mobile Force Tournament.
It’s a three-story building with 50 rooms.
With a maximum capacity of 200 people, it’s the largest building in Luganda.
Well~~ I’m glad we were able to make it in time for the tournament.
There are a lot of tourists who would only be here for a day, but it seems that some of them stay overnight.
We are planning to have the tournament participants and spectators sleep here.
The lodge is already booked and is expected to be fully occupied on the day of the tournament.
We plan to use the lodge even after the tournament is over.
We are planning to rent rooms to adventurers in the area.
There’s a rumor going around that Luganda Dungeon is a good source of income, and nearby farmers and various other people are coming to work there for winter.
On average, they spend about 20 days here, but most of them live in temporary huts in the forest.
Those temporary huts aren’t very good places to live in.
They are simply patchwork houses made of long branches that have fallen around the area, tied together with hemp rope and vines, and topped with pine and other trees’ leaves to serve as a roof.
The cold season is just beginning.
Living in a temporary hut in the extreme cold of Luganda would be difficult.
For such adventurers, we are planning to keep the fees low.
Luganda’s main income comes from accommodation fees, dungeon entrance fees, and elevator usage fees, so we want as many adventurers to come to Luganda.
For this reason, this kind of infrastructure development is indispensable.
However, the increase in the number of visitors has caused some problems.
The crime rate has increased.
Since Michelle and the others had been keeping them in check with their glares, there have been heinous crimes, but some drunken idiots often start fights and other incidents. e men try to mess with the girls, and there are also some troublesome female adventurers who tried to abduct the handsome boys.
It’s difficult to control such people.
Fortunately, many of the residents are skilled fighters, so thanks to everyone’s cooperation, peace in Luganda is maintained.
Today too, Garm and his group caught three ruffians.
They were mugging people in broad daylight.
I’m glad they were caught before the residents were harmed.
[Yahagi-san, I put those three idiots in jail for drawing their swords in the plaza.]
[Thanks, Garm. Are you or the others hurt?]
[Yeah, you’ll have to wear it so it’s easy to recognize your status. We’ll make sure it’s got a good design.]
When I told them about the uniforms, Garm and the others looked delighted.
Are they at the age when they like such things?
The cold weather in Luganda is getting severe.
It’s finally the season for the magic heater to be put to use.
I told Michelle, who was refilling the heater in the living room with magic crystals, about Garm and the others.
[I’ve asked Team Garm to take care of the security. I’m sure they’ll do a great job on this.]
[I’m glad to hear that. I’ll also be on the lookout on the day of the event, so don’t worry. I will catch all the bad guys and punish them.]
[No, no, Michelle has a very important job yourself, remember?]
[Eh?]
[As the territory lord’s fiancée, you have to welcome our guests.]
[Ah......]
[Michelle!?]
She just collapsed with steam coming out of her head!
[Pull yourself together, Michelle!]
[I’m sorry. I was so happy that I lost consciousness...... Eh, I wonder if I should do some smile training? Also, maybe I should get myself a more flamboyant dress.]
[You’re already charming as you are, Michelle. If you want to get some dresses though, we can have that arranged.]
The tournament is only a month away.
I want to increase my sales here and level up.
We’ve got everything ready to go.
[By the way, how are the energy packs coming along?]
[The materials are almost ready. We’re still short on quantity, but don’t worry, we’re gathering them little by little from the dungeon.]
[Don’t push yourself too hard, okay?]
[I’ll be fine. The dungeon elevator is making our search a lot easier.]
Saying this, Michelle confidently puffed out her chest.
I’d like to boost sales at the tournament and get myself much-needed level-ups.
At this rate, it won’t be long before we can get the Zord moving.
But before that, it seemed like the dungeon elevator had caused a bit of a ruckus......
