Chapter 71: The King’s Day Off
In the morning I walked around the streets of Ribek.
It wasn’t like I had a destination in mind, I was just strolling around.
I stopped in front of one of the street stalls.
The shopkeeper was roasting at skewers over a bed of coals. I didn’t know what kind of at it was, but it slled delicious.
「Hey lad, you want one?」
The shopkeeper called out casually.
「This is a specialty from Bisk, it’s Kurakadir skewers. It’s delicious and can help relieve tension in your body.」
「Kurakadir?」
I didn’t know what that was, but it looked pretty good.
Actually……I had been slling it cooking for a while and it was starting to make drool.
「Ok, I’ll have one.」
「Here ya go, 500 yen.」
「——」
「What’s wrong lad?」
The shopkeeper said looking at .
Hmm……he has been calling 「lad」 this entire ti.
I took out the currency that I’d created ——and handed him 500 yen. He gave the skewer.
I took it before continuing on my way.
As I thought about it again…it seed like he didn’t know who I was.
I walked around the market place while eating the skewer.
Now that I looked around I could see many unknown faces.
I knew most of the people that I’d freed from Marato by sight.
Right now though, I couldn’t see many familiar faces.
These people kept calling out to trying to sell things.
It was fun so I walked from stall to stall sampling goods.
It was almost like a little festival.
I stopped in front of a stand with few custors.
「How much is this?」
「One is 1,500 yen.」
「That’s a bit expensive.」
Is that why there weren’t too many custors?
「Well the cost guarantees the taste.」
「I see……then give one.」
I paid and got the food.
I took a bite…………and it was terrible.
It was so bad that I doubted it was even food…almost on the sa level as pushinee.
It wasn’t because it was expensive…there weren’t any custors because it was expensive and disgusting.
I walked away and looked back for a while.
No custors approached the shop.
「Huh………it looks like it’ll close before long.」
I muttered and continued walking.
I left the marketplace and walked downtown.
「Huh?」
I stopped in front of a private ho.
It was a ho that I’d made using the DORECA, but for so reason the door was broken.
I saw a citizen repairing it.
「Yo」
「Ah, Your Highness.」
This ti it was soone who knew .
「What happened?」
「Umm……well……」
The man scratched the back of his head smiling wryly.
「My wife got angry with and…」
「This was the result of the fight?」
「Yes…」
「It can’t be helped.」
I took out my DORECA, but the man shook his head and hands quickly.
「No no, it’s ok Your Highness. I can fix this much myself.」
「Fix it yourself?」
「Yes. Actually, I’m almost finished with the repair.」
I looked at the door once again.
It was truly almost finished.
「Is that ok?」
「Absolutely, we can’t have the King doing such minor things.」
「………I see. Then good luck.」
I waved goodbye and walked away.
*****************************************
Until the sun was almost set, I walked through the streets of Ribek.
The town was bustling and lively.
Many stores had been opened and trade was going well.
The townspeople were now making things and repairing things without needing to rely on and my slaves.
This was the first day that I truly didn’t have to do anything.
I didn’t have to make anything, repair anything, or defeat anything.
I didn’t do anything. I just went around spending so cash.
Even so, the townspeople were smiling.
They all seed happy.
After the entire day of doing nothing…my DORECA began to shine and change.
It transford from platinum to black.
