Filia:"grandmother.I just want to go to town to see something"
Trainee:"Will I go to town?. Then grandma will come with you".
Filia:"Wasn't grandma a problem to go to town?"
Trainee:"yes, grandma doesn't matter. Besides grandma can also watch you so as not to do dangerous things anymore"
ugh... it's kind of cruel. I don't know how other people see me, but I can't possibly do anything dangerous in town, okay?!.
because it was decided that grandma would come, so we all went down to the first floor.On the first floor, I saw Felmina and Rurui who were waiting in front of the stairs. Rurui wore maid clothes as usual, while Felmina wore a pretty red loli dress with neat and intricate embroidery.
Philia:"are you ready?"
Felmina:"yeah".
Felmina answered my question enthusiastically.it seemed like she did like going to the city.I noticed the granny who was smiling gently and stepped forward to give Felmina a head pat.
Felmina:"n, grandma?"
it appeared from her expression, that Felmina was slightly surprised by the sudden actions of the grandmother.
Trainee: "it's okay, I just want to pat my sweet grandson on the head"
grandma said that to Felmina with tenderness in her eyes.I seemed to understand what grandma was trying to do.
although Felmina is considered a family, but it seems Felmina is still a bit awkward when meeting with grandma, so I suspect that grandma did that to remove the distance between herself and Felmina to remove the uncomfortable awkwardness.
since everyone was ready, and the horse carriage was also waiting in front, so we all set off for the city.I sat in the big white carriage together with Felmina and grandma. the horse carriage we rode was pulled by six of the best white horses. The format was similar to when I went to the academy, but this time it was not a mother, but rather a grandmother. Ilma and Rurui also boarded a brown horse-drawn carriage pulled by four horses.
after everything came in, the horsemen immediately controlled the horses to drive towards the city.The city today seems very crowded, much more crowded than usual. on the roadsides there were also far more merchants than usual.
there were many luxurious, large, and small carriages that passed by. Some were chariots belonging to wealthy merchants and others belonged to certain noble families. the city's vivacity was probably fueled by the enrollment of academy students today.
Trainee:"the city is pretty good, but it's still a long way to go when compared to «Lignum»"
Lignum is the capital of the Holy Kingdom, although I have never seen it in person, but in books and according to what my mother said, Lignum is a city much larger and more beautiful than the capital of Regulus.There lived a wide variety of races and tribes.
Philia:"did the grandmother also often go to the city of Lignum?"
Trainee: "grandmothers like you, grandma would rather spend time outside than in a boring palace"
Felmina:"I heard that in the city of Lignum there are many beautiful things.is that true, grandma?"
Trainee: "yes, that's true.in addition to what is recorded in the book, in the city of Lignum there are far more admirable things".
after that grandmother told me many things about the capital of Lignum and the various privileges possessed by the Holy Kingdom. Felmina seems very interested in the things that are told by grandma.not only Felmina, I am also interested in these things.seeing and researching new things is a pleasure for a gamer.
the conversation continued until the train stopped in front of a three-story inn.The building is quite good if seen from the outside, the environment is also clean and neat. I got the information on this place from the data that Sebas gave me, and since I did not know the intricacies of this city, I gave the address to the coachman. as I expected from the noble family coachman, they had already memorized the streets throughout the capital.
I got off the train immediately along with Felmina and grandma. Ilma and Rurui also stood quietly behind us. Besides us, there were six knights in charge of escorting our carriage all the way.they bowed respectfully after opening the carriage door. two of the six knights went first into the inn to see the conditions inside.
since the place was safe after the knight check, then I immediately entered the inn with the others accompanied by four knights, while the remaining two knights remained outside just in case. It sounds exaggerated, but in a world where order is not as good as it is in the modern world, and crime is still everywhere, it is common. in fact, it is not uncommon for a noble who has brought guards and knights to still get an attack or attempted murder.
such a thing was usually due purely to robbery or due to an opposition political party holding a grudge, or feeling the existence of a certain noble would get in their way. in the world of nobility is much more terrible than the wild.if in the wild we may face bandits or wild animals, but it can be overcome with brute force. it was much different from the world of nobles who used various means to be able to bring down the other party for personal gain.it was not even uncommon for them to use covert means to get rid of his political opponents. an enemy that does not pose a threat but acts immediately is the most fearsome enemy.
as I walked into the inn, I complained about the political atrocities in the world. When I got inside, I saw many people enjoying their food, then turned their attention to our group. well, it was only natural that nobles who were usually in high view appeared in front of them at this time.
if I judge from the conditions correctly, it seems like this inn is mostly used by merchants and adventurers who stop by in this city.but, the adventurers who stay in this place are high-ranking adventurers, high-ranking adventurers, that can be seen from their equipment that looks good.
I went to the reception desk guarded by a young girl, maybe about 15-16 years old.she wore a cloth headgear and wore a simple brown shirt. he also wore an apron that had several patches on it. he had brownish-black eyes and hair.
Filia:"excuse me"
"i, yes.a, how can I help you?"
I'm just casually asking, you don't have to get to that whole thing, you know.
Filia:"are the children entrusted by the Trading Guild here?"
"a, kids?"
somewhat frightened and hesitant, the girl asked with a hint of confusion.
Filia:"some time ago the chairman of the Trade Guild entrusted a number of children to stay temporarily.Are those children here?"
hearing my question, the girl seemed to be pondering something.maybe she was trying to remember what I was asking. After a while, the girl seemed to remember something and picked up a thick book from under her desk. I checked for a moment and saw I found something.
"there were about thirteen children who came here a while ago.they lived on the third floor along with the two maids who had recently come.a, is that them?"
looks like it was them. And those two servants were probably the servants I hired to take care of the children.
Philia:"call the children, and tell them to meet me".
"b, fine"
the girl immediately ran up the stairs, while me, grandma, and Felmina were looking for a place to sit down. Ilma and Rurui stood behind us. For knights, they just stood in a corner while giving people a sense of oppression.
Trainee: "honey, what exactly is going on?"
grandma looked curious and confused by what was happening.not only grandma, Felmina also seemed confused by what was happening.it was because when I brought the children back then, it was, I left Felmina at home because she was still asleep.
I wanted to explain everything, but before that I had already listened to the hurried footsteps from the stairs.I saw the girl come down and come up to me in a hurry.
"m, they're preparing, miss. they'll be down in a minute"
(the end of this chapter)
