Chapter 377: Journey of the Empire 1
「Just in ti, (Teikoku-doori ni)
Calling now!
... only for the “Empire” (“Teikoku” dake ni)」(Mile)
(T.N: I can only find the word “Teikoku” which seems to be a pun)
Everyone completely ignored Mile’s words.
And the rchants left the inn...
For requests such as corp escorting, the employer usually supplies all the water, snacks during breaks, and als.
Even if escorts bring food and cooking equipnt and materials separately, they will beco extra luggage. Also, it’s useless to cook separately for each al, and above all, differences in al contents cause discord.
In the army, lower soldiers and officers eat the sa thing.
Otherwise, the army can’t keep their morale.
That’s what the contract is all about.
...Yes, contract.
「Yes, it’s done!」(Mile)
But for so reason, Mile cooks using cooking equipnt and ingredients from the storage.
...As a matter of course.
Rena’s group didn’t care about rchants or services, they had a tantrum...
“Can we eat such awful mobile dried food?”
... at the ti of the first camp.
Normally, fresh food is available for the first few days of the journey.
... After that, it ’s ti for portable food.
Unless the escorts hunt small animals or pick edible wild plants.
And these rchants don’t deviate from the main highway, and in the town, they always stay in an inn and don’t continue camping without resupply for more than a few days.
They don’t mind spending money, so they should have fresh food,
They should have a relatively decent al every ti.
...If you think normally.
However, this trading company was unusual.
For a normal trading company, rchants who are accustod to traveling in a group often can make simple dishes.
So of them are quite elaborate in their own dishes.
The hired escorts usually have the rchants take care of the als as well, many of them do not cook.
Anyway, you can eat decent food a few days after leaving the city.
This corp arrives in the next town every few days and stays several days.
In other words, the al wouldn’t not so bad during the trip.
It’s not good to let Miles prepare als for all of the rchants every ti.
Mile’s burden aside, these n aren’t real rchants. Perhaps, they are the royal palace or military official, and such people usually don’t need to cook themselves, they shouldn’t.
The als should be left to the employer, as contracted and, as would be expected of a normal trading company.
Red Oath” ca to such conclusions at the preliminary eting... (T.N: “ca”, past tense)
However, from the first day of the trip, they got
“A piece of hard bread, a little dried at, a piece of soup and a little piece of dried kudzu vegetables”
It was the ergence of three sacred treasures of poor portable food.
Moreover, the soup was warm and thin, without any dried fruit flakes.
And it was from the first day when they should have fresh food, which ant that kind of al would be issued every ti during the camp.
Until this journey is over...
Yes, what exactly did Rena’s group expect from lean n in the research field?
They should have expected this from the beginning.
However.......
「「「What in the world is this~~?!」」」(Maevis Pauline Rena)
「 Don’t toy with 」(Rena)
「Are they looking down on us」(Pauline)
...They snapped.
Not only Rena, but also Pauline, and even the usually tender Maevis, have a blue vein.
Only Mile seed to be fine.
Mile can serve as many foods as she needs from the item box, or she can cook on her own using the magic of heating.
So, after eating what is served, she can freely eat whatever you like,
She didn’t care much about the food offered by the rchants.
And even more, Mile has been tolerant of food since her last life as Misato.
No, she likes tasty and delicious foods.
And even now, she still likes such foods.
However, Misato also likes to enjoy the exquisite harmony of the taste and texture of fine cuisine, as well as the goodness of instant noodles.
Yes, even if she gets sothing bad, she won’t “flip the table”,
Fine food, cheap food, delicious or not delicious food,
She could be able to “taste and enjoy at a reasonable level”
So, only Mile has a calm face...
「Mile, from the next ti, you will make the al!」(Rena)
「Eh? But at the eting ...」(Mile)
「Y-O-U W-I-L-L M-A-K-E T-H-E M-E-A-L!」(Rena)
「Eh, no, because everyone decided, hi~ii...」(Mile)
From left and right, Pauline and Maevis glared at the eyes that seed to kill a person, and Mile was involuntarily startled.
Thus, Mile was in charge of preparing als, snacks, drinks, etc. while traveling on this trip.
Of course, Pauline will help, Rena will boil the water with the fireball.
Maevis is also in charge of cutting and separating materials and processing internal organs.
... Yes, it was the sa as usual ...
Humans cannot let go of their luxury once tasted.
That’s it.
「Rena, about what you said before, “Training to be okay without Mile” ...」(Maevis)
Maevis asked with a slightly disturbed face, but Rena answered calmly.
「 Didn’t Mile say that too?
“This is this and that is that”,...」(Rena)
「「「”Make a shelf in your heart”!!」」」(Rena Maevis Pauline)
It was useless.
...Totally useless ......
And while repeating the sa thing as the first town, the trading company gradually approaches the imperial capital.
Along the way, “Red Oath” sold so of the goods purchased in the kingdom to the “rchants” whose sale goods were about to running out.
... Of course, at an extra price.
Not only did they sell cheap food.
They had a lot of expensive items to sell to rich people in the Imperial City and big cities, as well as a lot to sell to the rchants at high prices.
Yes, they anticipated that the rchant’s sales would be so low that it would be unnaturally small to continue peddling.
...Pauline and Rena.
「Gate of Babylon...(EN)」(Mile?)
Yes, it was “infinite rchandise storage works”.
＊ ＊ ＊
「That’s why we arrive at a fairly large city near the Imperial City!」(Mile)
「You don’t even need to explain it, everyone knows!」(Rena)
When she arrives in town, Mile can’t help but say sothing.
“I ca back!”, that kind of thing.
This ti is just an explanation line, a quiet class line.
「We have collected considerably rumors in the surrounding countryside and surveys of the residents’ awareness.
And we were able to hear quite a bit about the plans for recruitnt that are currently instructed from the Lord...
Although it’s not the direction from the Imperial City, it’s not a problem for sample surveys.
In particular, it’s the result of a survey of the region from the imperial capital.
From now on, it will be a survey of major cities near the Imperial City.
Unlike rural towns, the aristocrats and governnts are sharper. We might face the dangers of suspecting being a spy.
...Well, we just do normal peddling, so I think it’s okay, but it may be dangerous to give custors too much politics, economy, or military talk.
Don’t make any casual comnts...」(rchant)
The rchant leader warned “Red Oath”. But For them, it may be common sense...
「I understand」(Rena)
“Red Oath” nods with Rena.
Originally, “Red Oath” isn’t involved in gathering information through small talk,
But when the seller is so young girls, the custor often talks positively,
They were often unintentionally brought into small talk.
And, of course, when Red Oath happens to hear a good story, they will tell the rchants later.
It was the start of the second round of the interim intelligence operation.
