55-Main street of the royal capital




 
We're here! Royal City!

 As I walked through the large castle gate, I saw many people coming and going. There are adventurers who have finished their requests, workers who are taking a break, and people who are busily packing their belongings into carts. A short distance away, there was a bustle of people calling out to each other from stalls.

 The wide main street that stretches from the gate is paved with stones and lined with large stone buildings along it.

 And beyond that, the majestic royal castle rises up, looking down on us and welcoming us.

 So that's the castle. It looks magnificent even from here, but what happens when you see it up close?

 Meena, who was down near the gates like me, shouts in admiration.

''Wow! It's so big! What a gorgeous ... what a gorgeous ... what a luxury!

 Yeah, I could tell that Meena doesn't have a better vocabulary than I do anyway.

 I wonder if Father Nord, Mother Erna and Saara are already familiar with the scene. I'm sure they're watching us with warm eyes.

I'm sure it's your first time in the capital, right?

'Yes! That's right! This is the first time I've been allowed to accompany you!

 Meena responds to him, still looking excited. If she is left alone, she will likely go off on her own.

 I'm not sure if it's the first time they've been to the capital, but even around us, there are a few people who are letting out shouts of excitement. I think the voice is more likely to be that of a woman. In the case of the men, they are more like "Ho," and proceed to walk on without being moved.

 In the midst of all this, the wind blew through the royal capital.

 Like Meena, the women, who had been transfixed by the sight of the royal capital, were only looking upwards and neglecting their feet. Because of this, the women's skirts fluttered widely, "Sneeze! A pretty yellow voice rises from here and there.

 There is no way the gentlemen could have missed that moment, and many gazes pierce the air for the bottom of the big fluttering skirt. It is a marvel to see even the man who walked ahead of them look back.

 The beautiful sight of King's Landing dazzles the eyes of the women, and the eyes of the gentlemen are drawn to the fluttering skirts of the women. It's a sight that perfectly illustrates the sensibilities of women and men, isn't it?

'Hey! What are you looking at!

"Come on, let's get on with the job, boys.

"'Yeesh.

Hey, hey, hey!

 Women's accusations go up here and there. But the men leave with a breeze.

''Didn't you just peek at me for a second?

It's just my imagination.

No. My gaze shifted unnaturally for a moment earlier.

A good scream is enough to make one look.

You've been looking all the way down the hall for that.

I'm sorry.

I'll punish you later.

 Such a conversation between my mother and father in the background.

 What will they do to me to punish me?

'....It's a disgusting wind.

 Hearing Saara's voice, I awkwardly got into the carriage.



 After arriving at the royal capital, we headed straight for the high-class inn.

 It seemed to be an inn for nobles only, and it looked very different from the one I had seen on the street so far. Not to mention clean, and even a large bathroom is firmly attached to, and the bed is soft and fluffy. There are a number of people standing guard, and the security seems to be perfect.

 Safety is absolute from the side of the guests for us to stay, so it seems that this inn is well guarded and trustworthy.

 After putting the carriages and wagons into the garage, Roomba and Gates headed to the Adventurer's Guild.

 It seems there are various places where they have to show their faces.

 Well, both of them were mainly active in the royal capital, so it can't be helped.

 Originally, Rumba and Gates are mainly responsible for guarding the road and the three days when the party is held.

 The capital is safe because the guards and knights frequently patrol it, and as long as you don't go to a suspicious quarter in the middle of the night, it's safe. There are many children running around near the main street, as evidence of this.

 The time was just past noon.

 After having lunch and resting at the inn, Meena and I were walking down the main street of the capital.

 Nord Dad isn't with us because he has to punish Erna's mother. Saara also has to be nearby as a maid, so she's on standby.

 You'll have to tell me what happened later.

'It's a different impression from seeing it from the carriage and seeing it in person.

 Perhaps because it is still mealtime, there is a nice smell in the air from the stalls.

 There is a large main street radiating out from the central square in the capital.

 The main street from south to north and the main street from east to west, where all the gates are located, is characterized by its large size and has the most people coming and going.

 Therefore, there are a lot of shops on these two main streets and the competition is fierce. It doesn't matter if it's a stall, a shop selling foodstuff, a tool shop or a weapon shop, everyone is desperate.

''Yes, it is. I think it's especially great around here.''

 I wondered if they were men selling vegetables. They were busy talking to people who looked like customers.

"Hey, hey, come in! We have lots of fresh vegetables at our house! The beautiful lady over there! How about some of our vegetables for dinner?'

"Oh, my God, is this about me?

"Don't do it, sister. I don't like the vegetables handled by such a tough-minded shopkeeper. I'm sure the vegetables are just as rugged and ugly as her face.

"What...?

'What? Don't be fooled, sister! Of course those vegetables over there are wobbly, nutrient-poor vegetables with that guy! Look at my radishes! 'If you put them in knee-highs, they're like human thighs!'

 I don't think the owner of the store has anything to do with the appearance of the vegetables. And daikon and niso.

What are those radishes? They're just big and mostly watery, aren't they? Look at our radishes! It's just as tight and thick and full of sweetness all around! See, if you can get them to put their knees on! ....Huh? No?

 If it was the sister from earlier, she would have run away from about the time the strong shopkeeper made her put on her kneesos. The two shopkeepers left are the two shopkeepers holding a radish with a knee-soaked radish in their hands.

''Mom, there's someone putting something on the radish!

No. You mustn't look at it.

 Mothers with their children who happened to be passing by also slipped away.

 Meena and I were the only ones left to watch the scene.

The radish.

No thank you.

 Me and Meena left to escape.

 The vegetable shops in King's City are awesome.





 Meena and I walked through the vegetable shop I just mentioned, chilling out at the various stalls, finding things we liked and strange things to buy and eat.

'Alfried-sama, this meat is amazing! Every time you bite into it, it's squishy and delicious!

'It's certainly delicious, with juices seeping out with every bite. It's not pork or chicken. It tastes like beef meat, but it's something different...

 As I groaned at the spit meat, the old man at the stall called out to me in a friendly manner.

'Oh?' Boy, you've never eaten a piece of Wuxi's meat before?

'Wussy meat? What's that?

It's a cow-like creature that frequents the streets of King's Landing. Doesn't it taste great with this sauce?

 It was an interesting story, so I'm going to ask you about the Wussies.

 --Wusi.


 A cow-like creature that often appears in the grasslands near the capital.

 They are much larger and more muscular than cows with horse-like fur, and they are fierce in nature, rushing at any creature that comes near them.

 It is said that every year many adventurers are drowned by its huge body.

 Its taste is popular due to its chewy, elasticity and juicy meat, and it is a favorite of both children and adults in King's Landing.

 Oussies are big.

 It seems that thanks to such a body, it's hard to get through a blow-type attack, and there's also information among adventurers that if you can slash a wussy's meat, you're one of a kind.

 Wow, I've heard about eating demon meat, but I didn't think it would be this delicious. There aren't many demons around Coriat Village, and I've never had it before.

''I've heard that you can eat demon meat but I didn't think it would be this delicious... fluffy...!

 Meena should either eat or talk. If there's any sauce on the maid's clothes there's no sauce on them at all. It's a wonder.

"Good, isn't it? Would you like another one?

"Please!

 Meena and Meena cheerfully had more of Oosy's skewers.




 The old man at Oosy's skewers gave us some recommendations for stalls, and we went around to a couple of shops.

 And now we are sitting on the side of the road drinking fruit juice because we are tired of walking.

 There are many places where people can sit down to take a break because the road of the capital is long. That's where people who are tired or hungry like us are sitting with food from the stall in hand.

 By the way, this fruit juice is delicious. The sweetness and moderate sourness of the juice is also good for our tired bodies.

 There were many other fruit juices, but I wonder what kind of fruit they used.

 I wonder what kind of fruit they used. I'll have to check it out later.

 While I was absent-mindedly thinking about my plans for the future, I noticed a little girl across from me moving around in a hurry.

 Her hair is about halfway between gold and brown, with twin tails. She was looking for someone, or maybe she was up on her haunches and looking around with cute gestures, jumping up and down. When he realized he couldn't see her, he went down and repeated the same thing.

 Every time she twitched, her hair and the red ribbon that tucked it into her hair fluttered in a pretty way.

 She would be younger than me, maybe four years old. She's wearing a beautifully tailored white dress, and she might be an aristocrat like me.

 While I was drinking fruit juice and looking at the cute, moving creature, I suddenly felt that my eyes met with the girl.

 Thinking it was my imagination, I averted my gaze and took a sip of fruit juice and felt a tug on the hem of my clothes.

 I wonder what's wrong. If you have something to do with Meena, you should just talk to her as normal.

 I turned to Meena with that thought, but she was just loosening her cheeks with a cookie and fruit juice in her mouth.

 You have cookies with you at all times.

 You're so busy enjoying the taste that it doesn't look like you've tugged at my hem.

 Then who does?

 The moment I think that, I feel another tug on my hem. I feel it's stronger than before.

 And when I looked at the front, there was the twin-tailed girl from earlier who opened her mouth to look up at me with a gaping mouth.

''Hey, what can I do for you?

 I asked, confused, and the girl replied cheerfully.

'I'm Rah!'

 ........I have a bad feeling about this.
