44-7 Hero Information and Souvenirs for the Viscount



 Well, I looked through the clothing and decorations store, but the window flower made a suggestion.

''Ryota-sama. There is a National Library in this city, which seems to be the best place to investigate. However, we need a pass to enter the library, but it has been magically processed and cannot be forged. So, please consider how to get one. In the meantime, let's go to the bookstore in Papyrus to gather information.

 That's why I went to the bookstore with the papyrus scrolls.

 But it's a holiday, right?
 Am I not working after all?

 Apparently bookstores are boring for Midea. So I give her my allowance and ask her to pass the time at the fruit main sweet shop.

 And now we arrive at the window flower and bookstore.
 But the papyrus scrolls are expensive!

 Therefore, I only bought two volumes instead of permission to stand and read. Well, the information is in my hands as Window Flowers scans it. No problem.

◆Note: In some cases, this is a violation of copyright law. If you have permission from a staff member at the library, you are safe to use the copy machine in the library. You don't need to know the law to use good sense.


★ After analyzing the scanned book.

''The information is unreliable in a bookstore. The [Mushin Annihilation War and the Tale of the Seven Heroes] of three hundred years ago seems to be based on actual events. It also fits with the time when the gods abducted the bugs. However, it is aimed at the masses and has a lot of fictional content. I wish we had historical documents in the library.

Three hundred years ago with bugs. It coincides with a period of trouble with the neighbors, and it seems to be relevant to this investigation... Ryota-sama, be prepared to infiltrate at night if worse comes to worse! We'll use drones to survey the security equipment as much as possible.

 Let's not do that if we can, okay? There's a lot of criminal statements about window flowers these days, right? Well, if it were Japan, they've already done it many times, which would be illegal.

 This is going to be a window flower going out of control if I don't get an entry permit soon....

'Apart from the investigation, a chat with the clerk gave me information on the Pretales family, the guarantor of the exterminator's license. Her husband is dead, her son is only two years old, and her wife has taken over the head of the family, but she's fallen behind. A hand-me-down would be helpful in getting this license. Would you consider that too?

Bribes are the lubricant in this world. But even if you fall, you're a viscount, or more specifically, a castle owner, so you're a lord of the castle. That's a higher rank than an ordinary viscount, if only we could manage with the money we have on hand.

 Window flowers are still sweet around here. Even candy for the servants works! I came to the operator with just a donut to get my information. If you do it well, you can get information in the break room. And if you draw them from the end to your allies, you can reach the top.

 The snacks and chit-chat will create a sense of camaraderie and make them realize that they are colleagues serving the same master. The rest of the time, you'll get to hear what's going on inside the company through small talk. Then, based on the information, he will propose useful ideas and information to his superiors.

There is also information in the scrolls about the ancient ruins of the old Ares civilization. I heard that there are still some unexcavated ruins that can be found. There seems to be an expert in that sort of thing, and I wonder if you could pick up some rumors about the ruins and information about the self-driving car market from the town by collecting sound?

'You're talking about self-driving cars. It's rare to find a self-driving car at an archaeological site, but we are interested in the technology of the old civilization. If we sell the other excavations, it will help to finance the purchase. Yes, sir. I'll record any tasty information I can find.


★The Innkeeper / Night

 Midia's expectations were higher than I expected, and she started working on the dress as soon as possible. I received an email from Goddess-sama with the pattern, design and how to make alterations. It's always helpful, I'll print them out and use them as soon as possible .......although I still don't have any privacy, as usual.

 In fact, the sewing machine is also in the supply.
 Its purpose is to repair combat uniforms.
 It's just that I want you to use your clothes with care.

 

'Clothes in Ryota's country have a nice design! It's long at the bottom, but I like it because it goes with my sandals, it's cool and the color is beautiful!

 Oh well, machine sewing and design choices are goddesses. It just made me feel even more childish. I won't tell you but....

 The dress was finished surprisingly quickly with the help of the sewing machine and the Goddess. Next, we will analyze the current situation of the Pretales family.


Information on the Pretares family.

 Her husband was killed in battle after a fiasco, and the current head of the family is his wife, Viscount Sailor.

 Due to the former head of the family's fiasco, the former head of the family is seen as an insecure backer by the Yosemite mercenaries, and most of them are transferred to the family. The territory is small and the main source of income, the Yosemite mercenaries, have left, and now there is only meat and dairy products. But the cheese in this world requires crushing livestock babies, and there is little profit to be made.

 Result. The economy of the territory has also deteriorated, and the people of the territory can't even buy salt to satisfy their needs.

 The salt is supposedly supplemented by the sodium contained in the flesh and milk of livestock, bone marrow and liver. Furthermore, except for cheese, dairy products are prejudiced as barbarian food and have little commercial value.

 

'Window flower, is there any cheese that can be made without smashing the livestock baby? Also, if you have any simple butter making tips or anything else, please.

 The window flower was planning to increase the loading capacity, but he was willing to discuss it with me.

 I looked at the screen for a moment.
 Wow.......................There is no livability at all.
 The capsule hotel seems luxurious.

'Yes, earth fungus is banned for propagation but there was a way to make it out of sap, although it's become obsolete with bitterness. I've been compiling botanical data during my travels, and I'm aware of several plants that contain less bitter rennet.

"Rennet is the stuff that makes milk curdle? I find it a little bitter. 

'But it might sell well in the north. Dwarves and northerners like dry drinks, so if it's lightly bitter, it's a good snack. And the butter... it melts at room temperature in the south, but in the north, it's no problem in a cool, dark place.

'Ho, from what I've read on the internet, there are quite a few plant-based rennet cheeses on the planet. I think I can handle the butter. 

'In the north we have a lot of rye and barley bread, and butter, which makes the bread soft and tasty, may be well received. The churning process can be done by tying up livestock and wagons, or using rivers to cut costs. Now it's a matter of distribution channels.

 Ask the window flower one thing and ten will come back, competent and very helpful.
