Chapter 87 – The Royal City of Ganvana - 

「Two hours to arrive… !」
「… It’s a bit much…」
「But it was fun being with Suzu, you know?」
「Wau! ! What a cute little creature!」

I think this is the longest it’s taken us so far. It took about two hours after leaving Sādin. We finally arrived at the Royal City of Ganvana. The main reason it took so long was simply because we wanted to try out our new weapons. But thanks to that, I’ve become much more comfortable with my new weapon.
There was nothing special along the way, and the only monsters that attacked us were a horned rabbit with two heads and a squirrel with long, sharp claws. It’s normal for there to be nothing on the road, and it’s unusual to encounter PK like before? I’m sure it’s unusual.

A checkpoint was set up before entering the Royal City.

「Please place your hand on this crystal ball」
「Ah, yes」
「…… Everything’s fine. Welcome to the Royal City of Ganvana. Please enjoy yourself」
「Thank you very much」

If I touch that crystal ball, will something happen… ? Hmm… I don’t know what to think───

「Seize him! !」
「Chi! ! You’re not gonna catch me, you idiot! !」

As we entered the Royal City, we suddenly heard shouting from behind us. And the noise gets closer and closer.

「Get out of the wayyyy! ! ! !」
「───Sei!」

───thud! !

「Gghhhh! ! !」

I used the bladeless side of the sword and struck the man in the neck just as he passed me. The man fainted and was taken away by a bunch of people who looked like policemen.

「That man! Thank you for your assistance! Goodbye!」

The crystal ball man from earlier gave a sort of salute and left.

By the way, if you are caught in this world, you will be put in a cage for three full days in real time, where you will never be able to get out. In other words, you can’t do anything for three days. It’s a heavy punishment to not be able to do anything for three days, but if you don’t do anything like that, it’s not something you’ll have to deal with.

「… I wonder what that was…」
「… Who knows?」
「… Maa, I don’t care what happens to that guy, you know? Come on! Let’s go!」
「Un!」
「Ah! That castle is where the king of this country lives!」
「It’s so big…」

─────────

We continued on our way, looking at the beautiful cityscape. But the bigger the city, the more slums there were, and it was painful to see. There’s nothing I can do about it, and even if I did, it would only be for the moment. I was reminded of the fact that this is a game, but it is made so real.

「… Hey, Suzu. Why are there so many jewelry stores in this city?」
「I guess it’s because of the thriving trade between Ganvant and Darnia that we talked about earlier」
「Ah, I see. Rare metals and gems from Darnia are being shipped over here」
「That’s right. It’s popular because we can’t get it here at all…」
「I see… Uu… I’m getting chills…」
「Are you okay?」
「I wonder… ?」

───rattle rattle……

「Hmm? A horse-drawn carriage?」
「Ah, that’s a nobleman’s carriage」
「There are nobles…」
「If there’s a king, there must be nobles… And the mansions in the city so far are also the homes of nobles」
「Aah! That big house in the middle of the city!」
「Aah! That’s not it! What did you think that was?」
「I wondered if it was built by a wealthy person like Suzu…」
「What is that, sarcasm~? ?」
「No, it’s not!」
「「Hahaha!」」

I felt the warm eyes of the people around us as we walked. Our destination is a real estate agency. Eh? Why? Because Suzu said she wanted to buy a house. Suzu wanted to buy a house in every city, but it was impossible, so she decided to buy in the capitals of all the countries.

「We’re almost there!」
「Really?」
「Un! It’s that place with the house logo on it!」
「Heh~ What kind of house are you buying? I mean, is there anything good about buying a house?」
「There is!」
「Such as… ?」
「L- Let’s see ………. I- I can do this and that!」
「This and that?」
「Um… That! People who want to live a normal life, you know!」
「Hmmm… ?」
「A- Also! I can even open a store!」
「! That’s a good idea! I want to be a blacksmith in this world too…」
「T- That’s right!」
「Then let’s go!」
「… Un! …………………. Fuu…」
「?」

I walk hand in hand with Suzu, who looks relieved for some reason.

A house… I want one too! If I were to buy one, would it be in Darnia, the land of blacksmiths… ?
