Chapter 22 - Royal City

I thought I would go home as is, but Sardo said that it also served as a status report, so it would be awkward to return to the front of the shop. As soon as I tried to enter, I was stopped by a guard next to the entrance.

"Excuse me, do you have a cover letter from someone?"

"This is a cover letter from Mr. Sardo Simbal. This letter also serves as a status report ..."

"Is this ... a letter of introduction from the young master? To be sure the seal belongs to the young master ... Please wait a moment. I will call the person in charge."

I was very scared, but he replied in a friendly manner.

Different from the previous restaurant. Being able to do this is probably first class.

Less than a minute later, someone arrived and was led to a separate room at the back.

*******

In the separate room, there are lots of incredible statues and a cute waitress.

Is this some kind of heaven? It would be great if you could play with your smartphone all day here.

The sofa is also soft and there are no complaints. A man comes before he has tea.

"Sorry to make the wait, I'm the shop owner and also the father of Sardo Cymbals, so I'll take care of it. My name is Harold Cymbal."

"Wow, my name is Rei Kuraki. Thank you so much for your son ... Well, I'm a young boy, but thank you."

"Mr. Rei. Although it is not difficult, I am only a butler here. So today you came with a letter from my son, can I see it?"

I hurriedly took out a letter from my pocket.

I was relaxed until a moment ago, but when it comes to talking, I get nervous.

After all, it is one of the best trading companies in the country. It wouldn't be wrong to say that this man was a Viscount. If you are rude, it can be a big problem.

Harold then opened the seal of the letter and checked its contents by saying whether it was considered genuine by looking at the seal of the letter I took out.

While I was worried that something was strangely written down, I quietly read the letter.

"... Sure. This letter seems genuine, it also says that Sardo would like to ask Mr. Rei as a personal delivery person. Thank you for visiting us in the future."

"Right. Thank you for your cooperation."

"Hohoho. That's why this old man is selfish. May I ask a little about Sardo? It's been a long time ..."

Good and kind butler ... No, I don't want to know if he's old.

I couldn't speak properly because I wasn't very involved, but as I talked about what I could talk about, the tension gradually subsided and I talked to Bella Bella in various ways.

When I noticed that it was too late, I thought it was bad for Count Falcon and Viscount Andrew, I decided to leave the place.

Next time let's come as a guest.

They should be busy too, but I can't talk to them forever.

"I'm sorry for a long time. I can't keep Viscount Andrew waiting, so I'll come back later as a guest."

"Hohoho. Please come and visit us at any time without worrying too much. And give my best wishes to Viscount Andrew."

A very good person.

Harold was smiling all the time and it was a very comfortable place.

In such a place, I wanted to stay forever, but I couldn't help it. Come on, let's go home.

*******

"Are you home? You talked to me for a long time. Well, thanks to that, I was able to get various information. It was an order from a Sardo. It seems that the man now has a secret. It is an order to explain the secret. May I?"

"Yes, Mr. Harold. I will reveal the man's secret."

*******

The next day, Rei is in a city outside the fort.

Last night Rei had spoken to Viscount Andrew about going out into town, for a good preview of the fishing spot.

Rei planned to walk alone to see the atmosphere of the city. But the security outside the walls was terrible, and it made Viscount Andrew feel worried about letting Rei go alone.

This royal capital shows a lot of activity, but on the other hand, it is said that its business is in a difficult situation due to the influx of many people. Some people are successful in business, while others fail.

The failed man formed a slum in the corner of the city because he did not have the money to return to his hometown.

There seemed to be a lot of criminal gangs in the slum area, and someone like Rei who might have money would soon become a target for the bandits who came from the slum.

Therefore, Rei asked Viscount Andrew to borrow some bodyguards during the trip to see the fishing spots.

So today Rei was able to see the city accompanied by Viscount Andrew's bodyguard.

"No. Today was busy and fun. Even so, I'm glad your injury healed so quickly." (Rei)

"This is also thanks to the potion you gave me. I am very grateful." (Bodyguard)

The guards who accompanied Rei were those who escorted him while on the border between life and death when he came to the royal capital and two others.

The bodyguard rushed to Rei when he learned that Rei was looking for bodyguards.

The bodyguard walked beside Rei calmly, as if he was not injured.

"It's best to save my life. And today should be a preview of the fishing grounds, but for the time being, I'll be going shopping, is that okay?"

"It doesn't matter. I won't complain because both of them are my subordinates. There's no harm in just achieving the goal properly."

This is good news for Rei, after knowing this they immediately started shopping.

Rei bought fish and plant seeds today, and that might come in handy.

'Can I buy fish even though I'm not fishing?'

"Then can plant seeds be grown from seeds in factory agriculture?"

Rei never tries it out of the selfish belief that it is meaningless to buy it in reality because the seeds are sold in factory farms.

However, since the eel picture book registration, Rei decided to abandon the stereotype and give it a try.

Then Rei found a shop that sold various kinds of seeds and tried to find them.

However, Rei didn't know what it was like by looking at the seeds and didn't even know that Rei wasn't told his name.

Poland, the bodyguard I have healed his wounds. Explaining things to me without looking at me.

"This whole wheat loaf is ground into bread, and the next seed is food for citrus roots. All of them are vegetables grown by many farmers."

'Are carrots on wheat? Some of the harvested ones have different shapes, so I'm not sure, but I'd better just buy them. '

Rei will buy what Poland described from scratch.

The seeds are for farmers, so the price is quite cheap. Rei didn't know the amount but was going to buy one bag.

"Even so, the details. I don't know at all, so it's very helpful."

"Initially from a farmer, I know. ... Oh, this is rare. I call it honey fruit, but this fruit is so sweet that I can make sugar."

'What! Is that the raw material for sugar? Moreover, the fruit is a type of fruit? '

The raw material for sugar on earth is sugar cane or sugar beet. It looks like bamboo and turnips. It must be a vegetable that is unique in this world.

"I heard it's good. More expensive than others, but buy it."

"It's okay, but it's hard to grow, so sometimes it's high sugar."

'Is this difficult? Then, let's buy more considering the timing of failure. '

Rei didn't know if he could grow it before then, but it would be bad to get his cell phone out in front of them.

Even now the existence of the smartphone is stored in a cloth bag so it doesn't come out.

Since this cloth bag is used as a storage bag, there are no problems with loading and unloading items.

After that, while continuing to shop, many shops sell fish.

There wasn't a shop selling fish in the city before, so this was Rei's first time seeing it.

However, it smells a little bit as it hasn't cooled properly. Lacking any internal organs, the pre-treatment would be the worst.

"This smell ... is quite strong."

"Well, it's quite common in ordinary cities, but I smell this too ... but the royal capital has abundant water sources and there are unique species of fish."

I see that's right. There is no sea around the royal capital, but there are still various types of fish.

This type of freshwater fish is quite rare. Moreover, the price is reasonable and easy to buy.

"Master there! How? We have one bigger than other shops!"

It was a very energetic shopkeeper. To be sure all the fish in this shop are big and delicious. There are all kinds of them and they are pretty good.

"Anyway, let's go shopping while getting information at this shop."
