Chapter 481: Alessa's Current Situation
The day after Klimut gave us permission to enter the Plains of the Demon Wolf. Before we left, we went to the market.
We've been handing out a lot of food from our dinsional storage in the royal capital instead of cooking it out. We're going to replenish that. I didn't expect Fran would give out curry as well. I guess that's how much she wanted to help the people on the royal capital.
We didn't hand out all of them, but I would like to replenish them if possible.
『Well, it's faster to get the at ourselves』
「Nn」
In the first place, I don't think there are that many magic beast's ats in Alessa's market. I thought so, but when I actually saw the market, I realized that I was wrong.
「This is, what kind of at is this?」
「Ooh! You've got a good eye! This is the at of a magic beast with a threat level of "D" called Gullinbursti!」(1)
There was a good amount of at from a very powerful magic beast on display. Speaking of Gullinbursti, it was a magic beast that we had used for curry bread in the cooking contest at Barbra. It's a golden boar beast, it's quite tasty, and strong too. It appears in here too huh?
There are also other kinds of magic beast at in the market. Moreover, this wasn't the only store that sold at. I don't rember Alessa being a city with such an abundance of at.
When I was wondering about it, the lady at the store told us a lot before we even asked.
「Amanda-sama's generosity is being passed on to us」
「Amanda? She's in Alessa?」
「Yeah. She's been looking around this town and actively hunting for us」
Amanda has hunted around Alessa, and the magic beast's at that was sold to the guild as material was also being sold to the town.
「Amanda didn't go to war?」
「I heard that an adventurer nad Jean is active, so Amanda-sama is staying behind to protect this town, you know? With her here, there will be fewer people who will do bad things」
「Is that so?」
「Well, there was so confusion because of the war, but the knights are reliable these days. There was less confusion than I thought」
Since the death of Augusto, the vice commander who had been monopolizing the Order, it seems that the Order has been reborn as a much better entity.
「The knights have beco well-behaved lately, and the noblen with dark rumors have been taken down by the authorities, so Alessa has cald down a lot」
「A nobleman with a dark rumors?」
「It was the noblen who were involved in the coup d’état in the royal capital. Thanks to the disappearance of Count Ols and other noblen who originally had a bad reputation around here, business has beco much easier」
Until now, they had to pay a kind space fee for stalls on top of other paynt. Now that this is no longer necessary, it is much easier for retailers.
After that, we stocked up on at, spices, seasonings, and vegetables, and headed to our next destination.
「Oya oya? Are you Fran-san by any chance?」
「Nn. Long ti no see, Randell」
It was Randell the general store owner, he's the one who give Fran a ride with his carriage before we reached Alessa. He hadn't changed a lot huh.
「I never expect for the hottest topic, the Black Lightning Princess to be here!」
「You know?」
「Hahaha. For a rchant, information is a weapon. Well, in my case, I knew and concerned about you more than most rchants」
「I see」
If he already heard the information from his acquaintance, things will be easier.
「I never thought that the girl from that ti would climb so high. But I'm relieved to see that she hasn't changed」
「Hasn't changed? I'm stronger than I was then」
「Aah, that's not what I ant. I'm talking more about what's inside. So adventurers tend to beco overbearing when they rise in rank」
「Hmm?」
In Fran's case, whether it's high or low rank, she never treated soone with proper respect in the first place. She has always been like that even when she was still low in rank, so it would be better to say that she is still the sa person as before even when her rank rises.
「So, what are you going to do now? You won't just co to say hello to just because you're back in Alessa, right? Well, I'm still happy to see you though」
「I need pots and tableware」
「Pots? Tableware?」
「Nn」
When we cooked out in the capital, we often had to give away the pots along with the dishes and the tableware, so even if we cooked new dishes, we did not have enough vessels to hold them.
She asked if Randell's general store have a few of it.
「How much do you need?」
「A lot」
It was a little difficult to explain, but she managed to tell him the size of the pot I wanted.
But, of course, Randell's store did not have everything we needed. However, thanks to Randell's help in contacting other stores, we were able to get the necessary amount.
So of the shopkeepers even went to the trouble of carrying the tableware and other items on a cart. I guess it was a good thing that we paid generously without haggling.
In addition, there were even people from the Lucille Comrce Association among them. It was a large business association that we had dealt with in Barbra. We heard that they also have a small branch in Alessa. It seems they had branch office on every major city and town in the Kranzel Kingdom.
『Well, now that we have the ingredients and tools, let's go outside the town and cook』
「Nn」
In the past, I had to borrow an inn's kitchen to do any cooking, but now I could handle it with my magic. In fact, I don't have to worry about doing it if it's outside the town.
I can't use magic and cook in the Forest of Exhaustion.
When it cos to that, I will be fine if I cook just right before the Forest of Exhaustion right?
