4-1: In the Capital of Duchy
After my trip yesterday, I decided to cook for them and it turned out that Ciel san liked living as a living individual and having a body, rather than being a skill...
After dinner, I talked to Ciel san and he I returned to my skill list and stored his body in storage...
Although Totona initially refused, but after some understanding from me, she finally understood...
The next day we were looking at the sky on a clear day, something was passing through us...
"Flying horse... "
"Monster...?"
Totona who came from the deck of the ship pulled my sleeve and took me to the deck...
There's an airship when I see the place where the two are pointing...
I've checked it out, but it's pretty impressive when you actually see the real thing...
It was a pea-shaped rigid airship with a size of 300 meters...
It is not known if it floated using a gas like helium or a magic tool...
I can guess the airship route, it may have arrived here from the royal capital this morning...
"That's airship... "
"Ayership...?"
"Ships that fly in the sky..."
"It's incredible..."
"I want to go up there... "
Yup, me too...
If you think about it, the ship was probably for military affairs, so it was doubtful whether we could board or not...
"Law..."
"Truly fantasy..."
"I wonder how it floats...?"
Lina and Tiane also came...
This is the first time they've seen him...
I wonder what the ride in the exclusive airship of the hero...?
"Secilia, I've already asked Shelna san and it seems that slaves are not welcomed on the inside of the great wall..."
"I think it's better for Totona and Tiane to put on disguise status before we enter the harbor..."
"Right, I'll let them know once they see the airship landing... "
The Shelna Lina mentioned was a tour guide...
His main occupation was one of the civil officials of Viceory Gururian, Earl of Walgock...
I thought he was Viceory's supervisor when I found him, but it seems like he only spent time working as a tour guide to get his tuition fees since he was young, so he replaced the tour guide...
In the capital Duchy, we were able to stay in the Earl Walgock mansion, thanks to the goodwill of the Viceory...
Since this is this territory is a neighbor of the father's territory, I will be less conspicuous so as not to make trouble...
I was fine with staying in a normal inn, but since the martial tournament opened, there might not be many decent places left, so I decided to accept his kindness...
The ship we were on was heading to the port of the capital Duchy...
This was not a port in the center of the city, but one built within the great walls of the capital for Nobles and booking users...
With the great wall, I naturally spoke of the outer wall of Oyugock city...
It seemed that the population had increased too much, so, in order to appease the people in the suburbs, they had made a three-meter-high wall called a new wall outside...
The new wall was not like an actual large wall as it could not protect against monster attacks, so the area inside the great wall was only inhabited by Nobles, wealthy people and technicians, respectively, while people like workers, demi-humans, and the poor live outside...
After we disembarked, we were being guided by Shelna san towards Earl Walgock's mansion...
Thanks to the permission of the Viceory, we were not checked during the inspection to enter the city...
However, I feel like there are too few guards at this point...
When I inspected this territory, it seemed like the guards were going around inside the city...
The cause might be the corpses of the members and the specifics that indicate their positions that I left behind inside the castle were covered with sheets after defeating the demon lord a few nights ago...
Ever since I left them with their [Wings of Liberty] attire and their plan to resurrect the demon lord, the soldiers probably cleared the aftermath...
Workin' hard...
I was able to arrest the remaining members and hand them over to the authorities, but since it was troublesome, I let them alone...
The woman who had been wearing her clothes taken by me seemed to have been saved by her friends and she was now in the middle of a meeting at the home of a Noble named Earl Bobi...
It would be annoying, if they caused a disturbance so, I marked it.
And if troublesome, I will destroy them to the soul and all its descendants in the past and the future...
The Earl Walgock Mansion was in a large area even among the Nobles area within the great wall...
After I finished greeting Earl Walgock with Shelna san, the two of us went to the Duke's castle with the carriage he had brought out of the mansion...
Shelna San was a fairly energetic person...
I myself am fine because my stamina is overflowing, but Lina and Tiane don't have much stamina, so I told them to relax in the mansion today...
They won't be able to meet Duke even if we go together, so there's no special problem...
Miss Karina has invited Totona for training in the courtyard...
He may be very frustrated because he can't move his body too much on the ship...
His maids accompanied them, so they probably wouldn't cause a commotion...
Duke Castle was as vast as Baronet Muno, but there was a huge difference in grandeur and the number of people present...
Above the castle walls inside, there were four 4-meter-high iron golems placed around the castle gates...
Looks like the castle walls are connected with various anti-aircraft towers...
I can't be sure what kind of artillery is stationed inside...
I'll ask them to let me see it later...
The carriage stopped in the courtyard after crossing the inner wall earlier...
Walk from here...
Guided by the maid, we drove through a corridor made with abundant marbles...
The carpet was spread out below and we found decorations such as artwork that was on the walls and flowers at regular intervals...
I don't understand the quality of the pictures, but they are very calming paintings...
I was wearing the dress I ordered yesterday and it turned out to be quite comfortable when worn, it was red and on the chest a little exposed, but it was all to add to my charm...
Someone waved inside the painting hanging on the wall all the way in the corridor...
As expected of fantasy. It's really like a magic item...
The little girl pictured in the painting waved her hand...
He looked happy when I waved back...
It's quite interactive...
I expected that there would be people moving around in the other paintings, but unfortunately, they were all just ordinary paintings...
"Is something wrong, Chevalier the same...?"
"No. It's nothing..."
"As expected of the d Duke's castle similarly... "
"There's a fun magic item... "
"That's right.I was also surprised when I came here for the first time..."
No wonder...
Anyone would be surprised, if they saw someone moving inside the painting...
We headed to a room and met with a consul aide...
"Well, this is a letter from Baronet Muno..."
"And then.this letter from consul Barone Muno, Viscount Rottol, to Consul is the same here..."
I handed you two sets of letters...
Letter from Nina san in the form of three scrolls and a bundle of documents...
Adjutant Consul receives it respectfully and then someone who looks like an assistant puts it on the shelf...
Shelna san also has a letter from Viceory to give, but she gives the bag she brought to the assistant san...
Then I heard that it was full of reports from each department...
A maid entered after getting permission by knocking on the door and whispering something to the Consul aide...
"Miss Secilia... His Highness the Duke seems to want to see you..."
"Is it okay for you to leave for a while...?"
Ohh...?
The plan today is to just give a letter and the meeting will take place a few days later...
Since this meant that I did not have to bother coming here twice, I happily accepted it...
I don't have the right to reject it, the invitation may be just a formality from the opposite...
I thought that we would be guided to the audience room, but we passed through it and proceeded to a private room that seemed to be a Nobles room....
The previous room was beautiful, but this one was two levels higher...
The chair I was offered to sit on was neither too hard nor too soft, it was very fitting...
I want this kind of chair in my workplace...
There is a water tank on one side of the room and fish like tropical fish swim in it...
The shapes looked like guppies, but they faintly shone a bright green light from the inside of their semi-transparent bodies...
There were four statues of naked women in the corner of the room, they were all Living Statues...
There was a passage that led to several soldiers standing in the waiting room, albeit skillfully hidden...
There were three magic soldiers on the roof on standby...
There doesn't seem to be a moving gimmick, so they'll probably break through the roof in case of an emergency...
They put some consideration into making sure that normal people would not be able to sense the existence of those guards...
They seemed to have no intention of intimidating the guests...
Maid in the room announced that the Duke would be coming from the next room, so I stood up to greet him...
The one who came into the room was an old man with a nice physique and with overall white hair...
Her hair was thick, but her beard was even more...
He looked like a kind-hearted man, but the glint in his eyes was too strong...
As proof, Shelna san who was with me was really stiff...
The one who came after Duke was probably a Consul...
She has blond hair with mixed gray and slender...
He looks like a capable man with thin eyes...
"Fumu..so you are the rumored hero who saw through the demon tricks and protected Baronet Muno's territory from monsters led by demons..."
"It turns out you're still young... "
After we told each other their names, Consul spoke first...
"In addition, it seems that you have exterminated the demon that has appeared in the Gururian city in our region..."
"Allow me to thank you..."
When it was spoken like that, it was as if I was the offender who had incited the demon to be promoted...
"It's certainly because of the people who have fought before, and the people are my subordinates... "
"I can't win against demons if it's just me alone..."
"Courtesy is not necessary..."
"The letter of recommendation for you to participate in the second qualification has arrived from Earl Walgock... "
Viceroy san, I'd love it if you tell me first when you send me a letter of recommendation...
I gently rejected it of course because I had no intention of participating...
"It's unfortunate, it's unfortunate..."
"So, I called you here to tell you something about Baronet Muno..."
I wonder what about...?
Don't tell me that demons are invading the region again...
"Your Majesty, he'll misunderstand, if you say it like that..."
"REally...?"
"It's a good story... "
"It has been decided that Baronet Muno will be promoted to Earldom during the royal spring meeting..."
"No noble has gained two ranks so there is some dispute, but he has accumulated quite a lot of achievements. "
"He was originally decided to be promoted, but since there were enough achievements, it was already fast... "
"The region will not be expanded specifically, but the advantage is that it will not become controlled by neighboring territories... "
"You don't seem to have much desire for success in life..."
"The desire to succeed in life...?"
"I think the knight of honor this time is already excessive enough for me... "
Apparently, there's talk of me being an honorary baron besides Baronet Muno...
Rulers were allowed to grant honorary knight titles and Noble knights, but it seemed that the Baron of honor and higher was the King's privilege...
To be honest, I had no interest in raising the rank or anything, so I rejected it safely...
From here, replacing Duke, Consul came forward to talk about the real matter...
"I don't think that you, Miss know, but every city has been attacked by low-level demons like the ones that have attacked Gururian city... "
I know, but usually not, so I put on a slightly surprised face...
"Only the cities of Gururian and Standel escaped with little damage..."
"Other cities have suffered damage that will take several years to recover... "
"We can't be sure if a top-tier demon like the one that attacked Seryuu town last month appeared, but a mid-level demon has appeared in the other Earl's territory... "
If a top-tier demon attacked, the city would definitely disappear, but if it was only a low-level demon, then the one who was able to defeat it should be there...
Damage may have been done before anyone was able to come...
I can understand why Viceory is so good...
Demon damage had increased in various places, so it seemed that they wanted to gather people who could defeat demons...
I didn't have that thought, so I rejected it in a way that wouldn't create a difficult feeling...
They wanted to hear my wish as a reward for saving Gururian city, so I requested permission to purchase attack-related scrolls, magic tools and they agreed easily...
"When I talked about it with Lina and Tiane, they said that it was likely that they wanted to avoid spending from the available cash because they needed it for restoration in various places...
I-i understand...
While I, under the pretext of “by Muno city from now”, I get permission to conduct inspections of all kinds of workshops...
I'm really looking forward to doing a workshop field trip like Oak glass workshop...
"Well, that's very stressful..."
"You're right... "
"How can you say that... "
"Didn't the same Chevalier look very ordinary in front of the same Duke...?"
Although I remember the second half of the conversation, it didn't feel real to me...
When we came to the courtyard to take the train, I noticed something strange...
Everyone looked up at the sky...
"Same chevalier, please look there..."
I saw where Shelna san pointed...
I used my hand as a shadow because it was in front of the light...
I don't need shade because I have a light skill, but my hands have moved out of habit...
Putting aside such trifles, which descended from the sky...
Visitors descending from the sky reduce their speed right before touching the ground...
"Thank you for welcoming me...!"
The girl took off her helmet and her silver hair looked as if it was flowing...
As he descended from the golem modeled like a pegasus, the heel on his metal armor let out a clear sound...
It seemed like it was not an armor made from ordinary iron...
"Daughter...!!"
"Ringrande alike...!!"
The people in the courtyard called him "Ringrande"...
The girl who descended from the sky riding on a pegasus was Ringrande Oyugock...
A follower of Hayato Masaki, the hero...
The level is 55...
Judging from his skill composition, he was more like a magic warrior than a magician...
She was 22 years old, her eyes were a bit tense and with thin eyebrows, she was very beautiful...
Its armor was unlike the lump of metal that soldiers would normally wear, it was formed with a female line...
If the shape of the armor is not exaggerated, then he is about E cup...
And it's far from my size that G cup
I'll remake Lina and Tiane's armor with Miss Ringrande's armor as a reference...
I don't know why the granddaughter of one of Shiga Kingdom's leading figures has become a follower of Saga Empire's heroes, but judging from the reaction of the people in this square, she seems to be very popular...
"He's quite popular..."
"Did Chevalier know him equally well...?"
Shelna san clasped her fist in front of her chest and I listened to her in a curious manner...
I nodded at her who seemed to be setting the mood and learned various things about Miss Ringrande...
Miss Ringrande is the granddaughter of the Duke, the fourth daughter of the next Duke and her mother is the daughter of King Shiga kingdom who has married the subject...
The kind of bloodline that would ensure him to inherit the title of Noble...
He had been filled with talent since he was 10 years old and stepped over the value of studying at the royal academy of Oritu...
She is a talented girl who has earned her college degree in two years and mastered wind magic and fire magic to an advanced degree...
He was still in the academy even after he got his degree and for three years until he was 15, he continued polishing his magic in the labyrinth city while continuing his research...
He was a genius magician who resurrected the explosion magic and destruction magic that had been considered lost...
Moreover, it seems that he has been given the title of Honorary Baronet Noble for all his achievements...
It seemed like he had also studied swordsmanship in the labyrinth city, but Shelna san did not seem to know that well...
When she was 18 years old, the woman ran away to serve the hero of Saga Empire which caused quite a stir...
Since I wasn't interested in it, I only responded by agreeing with Shelna san without actually hearing it...
It seems like it has been two years since he last came home...
Since Shelna san seemed to want to join the people surrounding Miss Ringrande, I gave her permission...
It seemed like he had been ordered by the Viceory to accompany us during our stay after he gave the report to the Duke, but since we had already completed the task that had to be completed as early as possible, it was because we had already completed the task that had to be completed as early as possible, it's okay for him to have some vacation time...
Prepare to travel around in various workshops starting tomorrow...
I asked the guard standing at the entrance to call the carriage I was riding...
It's very troublesome to ask people for help whenever I have to do something...
Since it wasn't good for me to do it myself, Nina san had told me to get used to it even though it was troublesome...
I boarded the train that went to the area where the magic shop and bookstore were gathered...
There was a magic shop in the center of the city, but for the time being I headed in a direction close to the castle...
When I saw the people inside, I had already thought of going to the magic shop in the center of the city, but since it would be too suspicious, I gave up...
"Ohh, isn't that Secilia dono... "
"Hmm, do you know Toruma...?"
"Your mother, I told you before, didn't I..."
"The entire 10,000-strong army of monsters that attacked Muno city, he... "
The people inside the magic shop were people who looked like store managers and Toruma san...
The store manager is a muscular guy so you wouldn't think he's the manager of a magic shop...
His stern face looked like he was fit to carry an axe or great sword on his shoulder...
The store manager happily listened to Toruma's exaggerated story while grinning...
He probably thinks of Toruma as an ordinary boasting...
It seems he didn't take it seriously...
"I'm Kikinu..."
"It sounds weird because I was born in a small country in the east, but don't think about it... "
"If it's hard for you to say it, you can call me, Kinniku, Oyaji, or the manager of the Shop... "
"It's nice to meet you. My name is Secilia..."
Previously, I had changed from my dress to loose-fitting clothes and a red skirt, black stockings, shoes and I made my whip divided into 2 parts...
And I bowed and lifted up a little
Toruma who is being treated like air says “Chi chi chi chi chi while swinging his finger...
What is this, I can't resist the urge to hit him...
"You really need to tell me your home name, okay...?"
I didn't tell him my name because I wanted us to talk without reservation, but he's a Kuuki Yomenai guy as usual...
"I'm sorry..."
"I'm Secilia Von Britannia..."
"Hou...?"
"I can understand that you like hero fairy tales..."
"His master was Baronet Muno, also known as Baronet Donan's associate at the time..."
"That's an accident..."
So widely known, how much you like the hero, Baronet Muno...
"No, in the end, the one who chose it was myself... "
"Well, only people with similar interests will understand it, so it's probably okay..."
I see, Kikinu's shop manager is the same person as Baronet Muno...
I chatted enough to liven up the atmosphere and asked about the row of magic books and scrolls...
Many things were the same as those from the Gugurian magic shop, but as expected of the magic shop in the big city, it was quite complete...
"It's a good book... "
"Is that so...?"
"It's a book that only sells one copy in a few years, but it's nice that you like it..."
"It's an indispensable dictionary to judge magic tools, but since the only one who will buy it is a person who has appraisal skills, it becomes a display for a bookshelf... "
I can judge the magic items in my storage with this...
There were magic books for magic that Shelna san had mentioned earlier, explosion magic and destruction magic...
Because of its contents, the magic book was something that could only be sold to people authorized by the military, but thanks to the permission I obtained from the Duke, I was able to purchase it without any problems...
There are also various books with Title that interest me such as, “Magic Tools and Carved Seal Magic”, “30 Magic Circuit Standards for Magic Tools”, etc,“In-Depth Learning from the Basic for Cane and Catalyst”,“Gems and Magic Cores”, so I bought them all...
"Young lady, what about this book...?"
Shop manager Kikinu pointed out, “Rotation and Roman”, “The Meeting of Rotation and Round Trip Movement”, “New Magic Born from Rotation”, a book that excessively discusses the topic of rotation...
Since the author was the same person who had created the spinning disk magic I had remembered back then, I decided to buy it...
The face of Kikinu's shop manager who somehow looked amazed to see me...
Does he think that I won't buy it...?
It was impossible, he was the one who recommended it himself...
I also bought a lot of other books, but there was nothing to talk about making scrolls...
On the other hand, there are many scrolls...
It seems Toruma is here to sell his scroll door to door because it is difficult for him to stay at his parents' house...
"You don't have to buy it here, you can buy it from our workshop, right...?"
"Oiy...Toruma, don't take my customers...."
"I want to get an unusual scroll from Toruma san's parents' house, so this is fine..."
Rather than an unusual scroll, I intended to order a special, strange magic for scroll that could not be purchased, so I would buy one that could be purchased from the previous store...
Normally, here, the normally tradable scrolls were similar to those sold in other cities, but I was able to purchase various battle-related scrolls for military use...
They seem to be mostly used as replacements when there is a shortage of witches and guarantees brought by witches with elements they cannot use...
There was also fire magic used by the former Guild Master in the labyrinth city, Fire Storm...
If I had intermediate-grade magic, I wonder if it would be easier to fight against a demon lord...?
Basic level magic scrolls are cheap, but medium level scrolls are worth a few pieces of gold coins, if people buy them for collateral, wouldn't they feel reluctant to use them...?
I thought that low-level people might be able to use it to raise power, but it cannot be used if their magic power is not enough, it might be impossible...
"Are you going to bring the things yourself...?"
"If you tell me the location of your inn, I can deliver it to you at night, you know...?"
"Then, please escort them to Earl Walgock's mansion... "
"Ohh... I thought you'd stay at my parents' house, but you know Earl Walgock...?"
"Yes, a lot of things happened... "
I'm handing over the delivery to Kikinu's manager...
Looks like I can pay it when delivered...
It is very difficult to carry large amounts of gold coins, so payment bills may become standard...
After that, guided by Toruma san, I went around to various magic shops and bookstores...
He looked warmly at me
And he says a sentence like,“This city is like my backyard.”, But that is the truth without exaggerating...
We drove around the city through strange alleyways or garden yards inside someone else's house...
Rather than back roads, they seem to be the preferred program of bad boys...
I had already returned the carriage I was riding, so we took the train because it was still a long way away...
At a used bookstore in the city center, Toruma san skillfully persuades the stubborn old man shopkeeper to get him to pull out his precious book...
He's good for this kind of negotiation...
It seemed like he had done this many times before when he bought ero books long ago...
It's like Toruma san...
Of course the book issued is not an ero book...
It was a space magic book...
Although it only lists chanting to the intermediate level and things like explanations of the effects or descriptions of the theory really do not exist...
I bought it while convincing myself that it was the same as dismantling the binary code...
The scrolls used for the maniacs were up, so I bought some scrolls with magic not listed in the spell book...
I'll have to compile a spell book later...
Toruma san was silent for a while and looked at me...
"Hey... "
"Yes.. "
"Great.I would be suspected of cheating by with a very beautiful young girl... "
"Ahh.so how... "
"I mean, my wife would be upset, if I went with a woman... "
What he said...
He really can't read the mood...
If a worried Shelna san doesn't come to pick me up, I might be there until morning...
Everyone's glance hurt when I got back, so I decided to go shopping with everyone tomorrow...
Since the city of Oyugock is relatively warm, it may be worth buying clothes for spring...
