"This is the city where the nobles live."

I am going through my first journey in my life.

Even so, unlike a trip like it was in a previous life, it wasn't that far away.

But it took longer than I thought.

It would be natural because there are no means of travel like cars or Shinkansen.

Get in the van where the servant beast pulls and follow the path of the bump.

Maybe even a few days of travel hasn't gone that far.

The village where I was born and raised existed near a vast forest, and three days south of there was a city where nobles lived.

There is an aristocratic house on a small high hill that seems to have been only slightly exuberant, with the city centered there.

The city is surrounded by brick walls.

Apparently, it's the one called the Wall City.

"You're pretty busy with people."

"Oh, look over there"

That's what I see the traffickers point out.

It just looks like there's a wall.

But the walls seemed relatively new.

"You said you had special brick needs right now and you were buying them out, right? That's why."

According to pedestrians, they're remodeling some of the walls that surround the city.

They're partly demolishing it, expanding the city, building new walls.

Some bricks seemed to be reused but still lacked the number of bricks overwhelmingly.

So, the reason for the special brick demand was that I had bought it to make up for what was missing.

"Does that feel like we're still going to have some more special needs?

"Right. But I can make bricks even in this area. I'll be bringing bricks from afar in a while, and they're not going to be profitable."

I see.

Does that mean that from now on it will be as difficult to make a profit with bricks as it has ever been?

Then we need to wrap up this business meeting with the nobility.

I regained my temper as I looked at the walls.

"It's Raymond, the house of the Fontana family. Regards."

The next day I came to dedicate my servant beast to the Fontana family, a nobleman.

I've come to an end near the center of the city.

But it wasn't what I expected, it wasn't a visit to the nobleman's house.

I am here now because it was a square in front of a stables away from the noble hall.

Well, it might be obvious if you think about it.

The horse-shaped servant beast has a large body.

There was no way that such a creature could suddenly pass into a noble residence hall.

What's more, there was nothing like meeting the head of the nobility.

You don't have to bother meeting us, peasants and merchants.

Mr. Raymond, one of our Lord's men, seems to respond.

The pedestrian side also wanted to create connections with the aristocrats, and it didn't seem that they wanted to meet the aristocrats in person.

When I looked at the sides properly, the edge of my mouth was faintly raised with a tense face.

"Hmm. Surely, as I was told beforehand, this servant beast is going to be able to ride"

"Yes, you're right. I don't think it would be a problem to ride in fine stature and armor. I would love to have this servant beast used by Master Fontana, and it is up to me to accompany these people."

"Hmm. One looks like a child..."

"Yes. Actually, this Ars was the one who raised this servant beast. It is the father who is there."

"Right. If that's true, we're going to be able to continue producing this servant beast for a long time."

"Yes. This servant beast is called Valkyrie. I would love to have your permission to produce and sell this Valkyrie."

I was listening to Mr. Raymond and the pedestrian talking, kneeling on the ground.

But I was listening and I almost accidentally pinched my mouth.

Valkyrie was the first child to be born, not a race name.

But the pedestrian introduced the name Valkyrie to Mr. Raymond as a name referring to the servant beast I raised.

By the way, the real Valkyrie is leaving a message in the village.

He's my partner, so you can't sell him.

This time he was brought to the city to dedicate three Valkyrie Juniors.

Well, that's all right.

It's gonna be a little tricky, but that's just what I'm talking about.

It wouldn't be so much of a problem.

It was when I was listening and thinking like that.

"All right, fine. We'll issue a permit later. Let me tell Lady Fontana that."

"Oh, thank you"

"Good, so as to encourage you firmly in the future"

"Yes, I did."

"But this Valkyrie may not be used in battle."

"Huh? Well, what the hell does that mean?

"The horn that grew on my head is in the way. This will wield the gain. Hey, anybody home?

"Ha."

"Cut off the horns of this servant beast"

"Yes, sir."

No, wait a minute.

What the hell is this?

Are you going to suddenly wound the servant beast you gave?

Two horns are cut off, which is also the biggest feature of the servant beast I've raised, as I stare at it that I can't speak out of.

I had to keep my mouth shut.
