Chapter 119: To The Royal Capital
Ti passed before I knew it, and the day ca for us to depart for the Royal capital.
The people on this trip would be , Michelle, and Zonder, who have acquired the Golden Fleece.
[How nice, I wish I could play in the city once in a while.
Titti complained, and I couldn’t help but throw a tsukkomi back.
[You’ll be hanged this ti if you go to the Royal Capital!]
[I know that. I was just making a joke!]
Does she really know that?
I was just thinking of her as an exile who doesn’t feel tense about her situation at all, but I’ll give her a pass for working hard as a healer in Luganda.
The lives of the adventurers saved by Titti are already more than the fingers in her hands.
[Titti-sama, when you have enough money saved up, let’s go to a foreign country’s capital city. You won’t be hanged there.]
Looking at the smiling Marco, I felt completely drained.
[You’re going to beco a big shot soday, Marco.]
[You think so?]
The extrely earnest Marco takes my words at face value.
Watching our exchange, Regal loudly sighs.
[In my opinion, the sa goes for you both. You two are doing quite well……]
Regal has really been cheeky these days.
Though I say that, he does a lot of things for .
Asking Nakaram-san to take care of the rest here, we left Luganda.
The trip was quick because we used a stagecoach.
Our luggage was stored in my stand-alone house, so we had a few items on hand.
The trip went quickly and we arrived at the Royal Capital in no ti.
After arriving in the Royal capital, the first thing we did was sell our magic stones.
The state-run buying station is located in a corner of the warehouse district.
The total wholesale price ca up to 16.72 million rims.
The value after deducting the paynt to the adventurers and the 10% tax is the lord’s share.
It has only been about a month since we started the dungeon exploration, but it has been quite a good inco.
With this amount of money, I can start working on the riverbanks.
The current ones we have are rather shabby, so I’d like to build a proper place for people to draw their water and do their laundry.
I’ll start recruiting craftsn as soon as I get back ho.
After parting ways with Zonder, who said he was going to see an old friend, Michelle and I went to the governnt office to visit Pri Minister Essel.
His office is now located here.
I had sent him a ssage by glider beforehand, so our visit went without a hitch.
I had heard that Pri Minister Essel was the man of the hour at the mont and that it would be very difficult to visit him, but it seems that he went out of his way to make ti for .
In fact, even though the sun was already setting, there were still 15 people waiting for their turn in the long corridor.
[Yahagi-dono, it’s been a long ti.]
In his lavish office, Pri Minister Essel welcod us with open arms.
[It’s been a while. In any case, your office is magnificent.]
The floor and walls are made of carefully selected timber and glitter brightly, and the massive furniture is tastefully arranged.
[Hahaha, this used to be the forr Queen Consort’s playroom. Speaking of which, how is Titti doing?]
[Yes. Titti is still complaining a bit, but she’s living as if whatever demon possessing her has been exorcised. She’s now a healer-slash-magician adored by adventurers. She doesn’t say it out loud, but I think she’s trying to redeem herself. She hardly charged any dical fees.]
[That forr Queen Consort has now beco like that huh. You really can never know what life has in store for you.]
[Well, it’s a world where a dagashi shopowner can beco a lord after all.]
[Hahaha. By the way, Yahagi-dono……]
Pri Minister Essel embarrassedly rubbed his hands.
[What’s the matter?]
[You know, I want to ask about that. That new product, Mani 4WD, that was ntioned in the letter————]
The sharp and capable Pri Minister was curious about the new toy.
Would it be cruel to keep him waiting any longer?
I’ll give him his souvenir right away.
[Of course, I brought it. Here it is.]
[Ohh!]
The Pri Minister’s eyes lit up when he saw the box of Mani 4WD I had brought out.
[And this is the new MF model, Zako Mk II.]
[Ohhhhh!!!]
[And here’s also a nipper with the Essel family crest on them.]
[Nipper?]
[You use them like this.]
I took out the parts of a Mani 4WD from the box and demonstrated how to use them in front of the Pri Minister.
Snap!
[Whoaaaaa!]
The Pri Minister quickly used the nipper to cut off the parts of the Zako Mk II.
[This is amazing! The finished cross-section looks incredibly beautiful.]
[I see you like it.]
[Oh, yes. I’m really glad I t up with Yahagi-dono today.]
Since he seems to be in a good mood, maybe I should make a request while I have the chance.
[By the way, Pri Minister, I have a favor to ask you.]
[Hmm, what is it?]
Even though he was feigning an air of casualness, I felt that Pri Minister Essel had raised his guard a bit.
Perhaps because he’s one who receives petitions day in and day out, he’s shrinking back from people asking him requests.
[It’s no big deal. I just want to ask if you could introduce to a rchant who deals in treasures.]
[Hou, treasures huh?]
As he realized that my request wasn’t that troubleso, the Pri Minister’s attitude softened to his original self.
[Actually, there’s an adventurer who obtained the Golden Fleece in the dungeon. He’s looking for a place to sell it.]
[A Golden Fleece, you say!? That item that, just by wearing it, your wealth will not diminish?]
[That’s it.]
[I’ll buy it!]
The conversation went too fast.
[I don’t mind selling it to you, but aren’t you being quite hasty?]
[No, there isn’t any wealthy man who wouldn’t want a Golden Fleece. Fumu, I’d like a little more ti……]
The Pri Minister took the bell on his desk and softly rang it. Imdiately, an officer opened the door.
[That’s it for today’s visitation. Give the rest of them my card. I will continue receiving visitors first thing tomorrow morning.]
The officer bowed and left the room.
[Is that alright?]
[They’re making work relentlessly day in and day out here. There’s no way they’d punish for at least taking a breather while Yahagi-dono is here today.]
Now that he ntioned it, I sense a hint of fatigue from the Pri Minister’s forehead.
Perhaps letting him imrse himself in his hobby at least for today would be a good idea.
[Well then, how about we continue our conversation over dinner? I’ll send an envoy to your hotel and ask Michelle-dono to join us. I’d like to have a match with the Champion using the new model!]
Pri Minister-dono looked as excited as a child on sumr vacation.
