Chapter 9 - Nakamura

Enjoy your chapter

As we walked to the south following the river, the scenery opened up and fields spread over the land.

However, it was still off-farm season.

So there was only a dirt-only fields here.

…… It’s kind of dreary.

When I went further while thinking like that, I started to see houses in the vast fields.

The reason why there were hardly villager in sight was that the villager in the village were going to make dam.

Kyakyakyakya♪

With that in mind, I encountered about 10 children playing on the roadside.

“Hey, you guys.”

I tried to call them …

“Wa!”

“Kyaa !!”

But when they saw us, they run away and hid behind a big house.

Chiii …(stareee)

They looked at me suspiciously.

“Hey! You guys! Chocolates ssu!”

That’s why Garcia approached by offering them chocolates.

Probably because Garcia had the appearance of a HENTAI, the children ran away further.(TN: the HENTAI is from the author.)

He was pretty depressed.

This guy, despite his look, he like children a lot.

“Speaking of which, you said it yesterday.”

“What is it ssu?”

“Peoples in the countryside are wary to stranger.”

“Ahh……”

As we went further, the number of houses increased, but when I looked carefully, I could feel the glance of the villagers who look at this from inside the houses.

Still, when we approached, bang! And they closed the doors and windows.

Also, if I listened carefully, I could hear them talking about us.

Unlike the village of yesterday, it seem the village was a village that was closed to strangers.

Garcia’s image of “countryside peoples” was these peoples.

It may have been something unusual for the villagers in rural areas who didn’t had access to outside world.

But, it’s not like they were wary of us, more like the villagers were shy.

“For example, let’s say there is a person from Nakamura who has suitable job of Lumberjack.”

And I muttered.

“But do you think they will accept it if I take them to Kimura?”

“Oh, the story sir said yesterday ssu. ‘If you put your peoples on their suitable job then you can easily develop them’.”

Garcia had a good head as a merchant, he immediately realized what I wanted to say.

“So it’s like that”

“If it’s a territory, it’s going to be more complicated. Even a party of 5 or 10 people was a tough one, but now we have to bring 2500 peoples together, If you look at one people too much, it will tilt to the side, so we have to balance the development of the party.”

I told Garcia, and also reminding myself.

Then, we tried to walk further …

“Excuse me.”

“…”

Well, they were too closed.

We gave up on contacting people in Nakamura this time because it seem that we had no chance to stay in this village, so we went further south.

I wanted to see other villages too, but it’s difficult because there was no one who could guide us.

Garcia was tired then said, “It’s better to head to the port for tomorrow.”

Then we went back to the port.

When you arrived at the port, the area was completely dark.

“We are camping today ssu!”

“You, do you have a sleeping bag? ”

“Of course ssu.”

Then

I was a former adventurer and Garcia was a travel merchant.

When it came to camping outside, that’s something we had done so many times.

The orange light from the lantern lighten the darkness.

Well…….

This, I’d like to slept under the roof if possible.

For the time being, I want to be [lord] quickly then live comfortably… I thought honestly.

◇

Next day.

The ship was a little over the scheduled arrival time, but came safely.

When the sun rose, there was so many broken part on this port that I was worried if the ship could come to such a place.

By the way, it seem that this ship couldn’t go directly to the Imperial City.

It had to return to [Sukahama] first.

I thought it was troublesome, but it seem that the Great King of the Far East had created a policy of “Do not build a port in the Imperial City”.

After three day and two night on the ship, we finally arrived in Sukahama, where Garcia said.

“Sir. Do you need me to rewrite the territory’s [certificate] name ssu?”

“Hmm? Why?”

“I would like to be in Sukahama and say hello to my business partners if possible ssu. As a merchant, I’m from Sukahamas rather than from the imperial city ssu.”

Saying that, so I would go to the imperial city alone.

“Um, the train to [Imperial City] will come … at 3 o’clock ssu, so there is still two and a half hours ssu. If you go straight at this street, you’ll arrive at the station ssu. I’ll stay at Kakurou for the time being, and when you come back, let’s meet there ssu. Well then, excuse me ssu.”

Train, huh…

Right.

In this Far East, only the “Imperial City-Sukahama” had a [magic railway].

Sekai’s latest technology, magic railway.

It was a symbol of the development of magic technology for the last 100 years.

Of course, I’ve ridden train on a magic railroad before, but this was the first train in the Far East.

Life isn’t all that bad.

I was a little excited to be able to ride a train.

I naturally went to the station quickly, but It’s still 1 o clock, even after I bought the ticket.

What to do in two hours…

“Oji-chan. Please buy this.”

At that time, I was approached by a boy selling tobacco and newspapers on the street.

“Then … give me a cigarette. And, call me onii-chan, boy.”

“Yes.”

I want to read the newspaper while smoking.

When I thought about it, I hadn’t heard any information about “Sekai” in recent days.

But I couldn’t read this Far East language.

I thought there would be a newspaper for adventurers, so I searched for a nearby stall but couldn’t find it.

No, to be honest, I knew where to read the newspaper for adventurer.

But if I could, I didn’t want to go there right now …

I turned my feet.

[Adventure Guild Far East Branch]

Found it.
