The End of the Town Walk

　After thoroughly enjoying the liveliness of the castle town full of exoticism, we decided to buy souvenirs at the stalls and return to the castle.

"Well, it's hard to climb as much as I came down."

"It doesn't look too difficult, but..."

　Shen, who was really climbing the slope on his own feet, turned to me with an indescribable expression. In my case, if it's a place that I recognize as a slope or stairs, I can smoothly climb up with a command action. It is very comfortable because there is no need to move one's legs and one does not get tired. It's like being on a walking sidewalk all the time. I feel like I'm being looked at with strange eyes from those around me, but don't worry about it.

"You also bought souvenirs..."

"If you put it in my inventory, it won't get in the way, and I can keep warm things warm."

　The inventory was packed with festival food from the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom that I bought to the extent that I didn't want to hoard it. Most of the meat used in meat dishes was goat meat, and equally common were large rat-like creatures about the size of guinea pigs. It's called Kui or Kue, and it's an animal with a name that looks pretty cute.

　Such goat meat and cuy meat were seasoned with spices and herbs and grilled on skewers or whole. As expected, it would be immature to imitate the money scattered and buy up the roots, so I restrained myself.

　I also bought the furs of beasts that I don't often see in the Merinard Kingdom, and woolen fabrics that feel good to the touch. Many of these items are also rarely seen in the Melinard Kingdom, and as they were made to withstand the cold in the high-altitude Dragonis Mountain Kingdom, they had excellent heat retention. It may be good for the baby clothes that will be born in the future.

　Jewels and ores were also sold, but I can collect as many of these things as I can, so I'll ignore them. However, there were some wonderful pieces of silver work and gold work, so I bought them. High-precision machining and designs will be interesting research subjects for craftsmen and engravers belonging to our research and development department.

"However, is it really okay for people like us to have such expensive silverwork...?"

　Saying that, Byaku puts his hand on his neck. Around her neck was a rather elegant piece of silverwork. A similar necklace with a different design also shines around Shen's neck.

"On the contrary, I think it's possible that the maid under my direct supervision doesn't wear any accessories.

　I've also bought souvenirs for the beastman maids who are staying at home, so I don't think it's just the two of us cheating. By the way, for Isla, Grande, and Dryada, I bought gold-crafted ornaments instead of silver-crafted ones. Islay simply wears a necklace. She bought horns for Grande and ear cuffs for Dryada. There are quite a few races with horns in this world, so horn decorations are quite a major accessory.

"Is that so?"

"Let's just call it that. I'm saying that, so let's go with the spirit of Yoshi!"

　After all, I am the consort of the queen of a country. Depending on how you look at it, it's like a country's number two standing position. With that much power, there's no reason for her to dress up her subordinate maids by making arbitrary claims. I'll do whatever I want with power as my hat hahaha.

"Muu, I should have followed you."

　When I returned from the castle town and told Driada about the situation, she muttered so and pouted her lips.

"But the slope was pretty tough."

"Are you going to hold me and carry me then?"

"Work hard"

　I feel like it's dangerous to hesitate to say that it's painful here, so I'll immediately give a short reply. Well, I've become much stronger than when I was on Earth, and I don't think I'll be able to carry a single woman around. perhaps.

"Hmm, this is pretty good. It's pretty good..."

　In addition, Grande's eyes twinkle as she scrutinizes the gold and silver ornaments I bought at the stalls in the castle town one by one. An Earth attribute Grand Dragon digs soil and crushes rocks to make a home. It seems that she has a habit of hoarding the glittering jewels and metals that come out at that time-especially gold and silver, and Grande, like most of the Grand Dragons, likes glittering gold and silver treasures.

"Umu, the jewelry made by the human race has a brilliance that is not found in natural gold, silver and jewels. This is the wisdom of the human race."

"I'm indebted to Grande, so next time I'll give you a lot of those kinds of gifts. Wouldn't it be nice to make a dedicated treasure chest and decorate it?"

"Oh!

"Was found was found"

　There are many vacant rooms in the royal castle of Melinessburg, and since Rhyme and the others are there, the security is perfect. It's said that the treasury is almost empty due to looting by the Holy Kingdom, so it might be a good idea to make up an amount of treasure worthy of the name of a national treasury. In case of emergency, it would be good to take out the property from there.

"I'm home"

　And while we were chatting, Isla returned to the guest room assigned to us. She looks a little tired.

"Was the lecture difficult?"

"Nn, as it is. I decided to teach you how to make regenerative medicine from scratch."

　Isla walks up to me sitting on the bench and hugs me with her momentum. It seems that you are very tired.

"Was the skill of the alchemist in the castle lacking?"

"It's not like that, but the recipe for the regenerative medicine that the alchemist here is different from the recipe I have. I'll verify the difference in content from scratch and decide which recipe to use. It took me a while to decide."

"I see. If there were dragons that were humanized like Grande in the past, wouldn't it be strange to have their own recipes such as regenerative medicines using their blood?"

"That's right. The recipes handed down in the Dragonis Mountain Kingdom take less time to create, but are less efficient at using dragon's blood. It's like making two types of regenerative medicine from three types of blood. Instead of taking time, making a third regenerative medicine from two blood.It takes time and effort, but it's advantageous in terms of material consumption."

"I see. If there's no problem with spending time and effort, then Isla's recipe is better?"

"That's right. In order to verify that, it is necessary to know the whole picture of the recipe.

"Oh... that's going to be a troublesome story."

"In the end, it was decided to call the crown prince."

　Isla crawled up on the couch and put her head on my lap and whispered while half-spreading her big eyes. I see. I'm so tired.

　When I was relaxing while talking like that, there was a knock on the door. When I urged them to enter the room, it was the lizard woman maid who entered. She will be holding a dinner party in one hour - in other words, two hours later, so I would like you to attend by all means. It seems that a banquet will be held today on the eve of the founding anniversary festival.

"Then I'll go get dressed, shall I?"

"Hmm, I'm hungry."

"Because there are still two hours left….be patient."

"N, I'll do my best."

　If you're too hungry and it's hard, let's give Isla some fruit or something.
