Chapter 383


    Having arrived at Gnomstoll Kingdom’s capital, our so called mission of escorting Rosary-sama of the Arenberg Margravery was over.


    It wasn’t necessarily an escort request, but we just so happened to be going the same ce that they just so happened to be behind our carriage…… is of course what our official statement said.


    If they had filed an escort request through the Adventurers Guild at the Lomarian Kingdom In addition to saving them from thieves, they would have needed to give us a generous sum. However, we chose to make the Arenberg Margravery, a prominent noble family of Lomaria Kingdom, owe us one. Making a prominent noble owe a favor was a bigger reward to us than money.


    On the other hand, Lady Rosary deliberately created this favor to make a connection with us.


    If it’s a margravery of Lomaria Kingdom, I’m assuming she would know of me. On top of that, for her to have made a connection by way of making a favor, she was so skilled it was a shame she’s a woman.


    Just in Valkyra Kingdom, there were many nobles and merchants who want a connection to me because of the Sanctuary.


    Well, all this is second hand knowledge from Sophia though. It was too much for me, a former ordinary sryman, to deal with nobles.


    Checking into the high ss hotel that Gn-san rmended, we sat on the sofa and drank tea to recover from the fatigue of our long journey.


    Sophia, Maria, Marnie, and I were staying in one room because this is our so called honeymoon, but the suite we checked into had three bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen, so everyone is staying in this suite.


    Ah, except for Doganbo-san and Gn-san.


    「Now, we should go around and see all sorts of things since we’re already in Gnomstoll Kingdom anyway, but what does everyone think?」


    「I wish to see the weapon stores.」


    「I want to go to the market, see if there’s any rare seasonings.」


    「I am also interested in their cuisine.」


    Sophia doesn’t waver at all. She said she wants to see Dwarven armaments. Maria and Marnie seem to have an interest in the seasonings and ingredients unique to the Dwarven Kingdom. I also wanted to go to the market.


    「Master! Kaede wants to go see a lot of stalls!」


    「Lulu too, Lulu too nya!」


    Kaede and Lulu-chan were the same in any city. Those two really like to eat.


    「I want to see visit the Dwarven workshops and magic device shops!」


    Laeva sure is diligent. She never fails to study. Unlike a cheat like me, she’s a natural genius.


    Huh, Akane who’s always gung-ho about stating her wishes is being quiet? was what I was thinking when I looked at her, but she crossed her arms and was brooding.


    「All of it!」


    「Eh?」


    「I’m saying, I want everything!」


    「<em>Haa</em>, so basically you’re saying you wanna go for everything everyone’s said?」


    When I asked her to confirm, she nodded self-importantly with her arms still crossed. I don’t know the meaning of her self-important stance, but, whatever.


    「I want to see the weapons in the Dwarven workshop. Of course, if there are convenient tools, I’d like to check them out. I’d like to see if there are metal essories, and I wanna try going to the market and check the stalls!」


    「……hmm, well, let’s go around with everyone.」


    It was our first time in the country, and because majority of the citizens were dwarves, it was safer for our members to go sightseeing together just in case there was any trouble, so we decided to go around the capital together.


    Afterwards, when I asked Doganbo-san and Gn-san’s ns, Doganbo-san would go to workshops and stores to check the skills of the cksmiths in the Gnomstoll Kingodom now.


    「Observing others’ work is also practice.」


    Right, one could get inspiration by looking at other people’s work. If it’s Doganbo-san, then he surely has the eye for it.


    「I’m thinking of seeing how my disciples are. I’m retired, but I’m curious about how the workshop has grown.」


    「If I remember correctly, Gn-san’s workshop is the best in Gnomstoll Kingdom.」


    「Takumi, ain’t that obvious? Gn-aniki is the cksmith with the title of God Craft in Gnomstoll Kingdom. There’s no way the workshop of someone like him would be small.」


    「It can’t be helped. The person granted the title of God Craft has an obligation to foster the next generation.」


    There are currently two people who hold the title of God Craft currently in Gnomstoll Kingdom, Gn-san and one more person, the King himself apparently. Is the King a cksmith? As expected of a Dwarven Country.


    Gn-san said he had to go to the workshops and gave rmendations for weapons shops that handled the armaments from the workshops in the capital.


    I’m looking forward to tomorrow.
