26 Episode 25: Arrival in the City of Lautel

It was hard to get into the city of Lautel.

Not because of Fell, but because he was a man entering the city and had a long line of snakes.

Once you're in line, you can line up and scream.

"I'm okay because I'm an obedient demon," he had a hard time explaining around.

When I approached the gate, I approached it. After all, I was stopped by a soldier in full plate armor who was at the gate.

"Stop."

"Fell, please stop"

When Fell stopped, the soldier approached him with a spear.

"Are you a submissive?

"Yes. It's my obedience. Check out the Adventurer Alliance guild cards"

I presented my guild card to the soldier.

"You're definitely an obedient demon. Is that Great Wolf?

"Yes."

"You've often turned A-rank demons into obedient demons."

"Yes, I think we were lucky."

"I know it's okay because I'm putting you on top of having an obedience pact, but if anything, you, the Lord of the obedience, will be punished. If there is damage to the city, it can be death or slavery, depending on the extent of the damage. Be very careful how you treat your submissive demons."

"Yes, sir."

Phew, the nail was stabbed, but you put it in pretty good for the price.

But slaves fall for death............... what's that scary about?

I mean, I knew you had slaves.

There's no human rights in the other world, I'm afraid of the other.

I guess I'll secure the inn first.

Oh, is it quicker to ask the soldiers at the gate?

When I asked the soldier about the inn where he could stay even with his submissive demon, he said he would recommend the "Elmira Inn" just a short while after walking straight into the gate and turning the third corner.

I head to the inn where the soldiers taught me.

That's just a lot of people because the city of Lautel is second only to the king's capital.

Not many, but I also saw a monster with a tail in Chemomimi.

Most of them wore collars, so maybe they're slaves.

It didn't make any noise though when me and Fell walked it would make me jerk off for a moment.

"You're an obedient demon..." I heard him snapping at Boso, so maybe this is how adventurers with obedient demons come in and out in this city.

When we arrived at the Elmira Inn, the price of the stay was eight silver coins, with obedience.

Fell asked me to wait at the beast house, and I headed to the bookstore I heard about at the inn.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

When I walked into the bookstore, the inside was filled with old books.

I wandered around the store to see if there was anything that looked like a map, but nothing came of it.

Instead I found a book that looked interesting.

It was called "An Introduction to Magic for Everyone to Know".

I might want this.

Fire magic alone (fireball) can now be managed, but other magic can also lead to more means of protecting oneself.

I heard books are expensive, but how much do they cost?

"Excuse me, how much is this book?

"It's seven gold coins," the shopkeeper said, looking at this one in a chill.

Ugh, high.

You want seven gold coins, you don't have any of this.

He said there's also a library in this city, and we'll see magic books over there.

I need to buy maps for my purposes only if they are expensive.

When I asked the shopkeeper if he had a map, he kicked me in the ass saying, "There's no way I have a map in a bookstore."

They say that the one with the map belongs to the royal castle or the great man in the army.

Uh, well, does the map fall into the category of military secrecy?

You won't get it.

On my way back to the inn, I thought about what to do with the map.

You don't want a detailed map.

This country is around here, and there's this country to the north, and there's this country to the south. I just need to know a lot of maps of this world.

The situation in each country will be heard a lot from adventurers if they get together and go to a liquor store like that.

Oh, I can probably hear from adventurers that this country is adjacent to this country - or something.

Seems like you're going to a lot of countries with a career as an adventurer.

Then... don't you have an old map or something in the library?

I don't care if it's an old map, I feel like I can do some mapping if I grasp the great clutter of this continent and write the country based on what the adventurers have heard there.

All right, let's do that.

Tomorrow we'll go to the library and try to find an old map.

Oh, I'd also like to take a look at some magic books.
