At the mont, we were flying over the sky of the Barste kingdom.
As to be expected of traversing through an entire kingdom, our journey was taking quite a while.
Have so bento, everyone~
We sat on the grass in the ground and ate so bento.
These are cooked by Coch-san, by the way!
Ohhhh!
Everyones shouts reverberated in the sky.
Coch-san, who possessed the [Cooking] Gift, was one the best chefs in the village.
The exquisite dishes he makes were so popular that to eat at his restaurant, one has to book at least half a year in advance.
Fortunately, thanks to my position as the village chief, he lets eat his cooking whenever I asked
yeah, Im abusing my authority, arent I?
but eating together like this on a lawn, its quite like a regular picnic, isnt it?
Moreover, what lied before us were the endless sky as well as the nature below that seed to stretch for a great distance.
What great joy it was to be able to enjoy such a picturesque view while eating a wonderful al.
I had thought for sure that our main activity for this trip was going to be swimming in the sea, but we sohow managed to check off having a nice, sowhat traditional picnic as well.
So goooooooooooooddd!
However, everyone else was too engrossed on their als to appreciate the scenery.
Maybe next ti, I should bring so ordinary bento instead of ones made by Coch-san.
Luke, over there! Theres a large city!
After finishing our al and lying on the lawn a bit, I heard Selen excitedly shout so.
I looked from the edge of park at where she was pointing and imdiately saw a grand city that could rival our Celtia kingdoms royal capital.
Near that city was a large river that probably flowed into the sea.
The Barste kingdom probably would never have expected that people from the neighboring country were flying right above their capital
If we wanted to attack, it would be so easy
Smiling wryly were the brothers Belrith-san and Balrath-san.
Huh? Why are there houses built outside of the city walls?
I was confused when I saw that there houses both inside and outside of the walls that surrounded the city.
Thats probably the slums, Luke-sama. It is not uncommon for people who couldnt get the necessary permissions to live within a citys walls to settle outside of it and form a district of their own.
Millia inford so.
Now that she ntioned it, each of the houses outside of the citys walls were rather shabby.
Moreover, not only were the houses built in an obviously unorganized fashion, they were also built so closely to each other. The result of which was a labyrinthine townscape.
But there isnt one in our capital, right?
A long ti ago, there was. Apparently though, the royal court nobles detested the re sight of it and drove everyone away.
And those driven away had to find new places to live in.
People living near the capital werent exactly safe, but since soldiers periodically hunted the nearby monsters, they were safe enough. And in case of an ergency, they always had the option of running toward the capital.
Thinking of it that way, slums could also act as a sort of necessary buffer.
Obviously, I shouldnt get involved in the affairs of a foreign kingdombut maybe I can give them at least a source of clean water as well as so toilets.
Like that, I built water wells and public toilets at various points in the slums.
While Im at it, why not add a public bathhouse as well?
Finding a spot for the public bathhouse was hard since the houses in the slums were too close together, so decided to build it on the outskirts.
Seeing the strange buildings appear all of a sudden, the citizens were understandably surprised.
That said, I chose to not tell them how to use those facilities or even inform them of what they were. They would probably figure it out by themselves sooner or later.
And just to be safe, Ill use Facility Customization to improve the facilities automatic cleaning features.
Even if people used the facilities ssily, the facilities would be able to clean itself up without anyone doing anything. Needless to say, it was truly a convenient function.
