　We had a little accident with the gatekeeper, but we were able to safely enter the royal capital of the Kingdom of Beryl. For the next two nights and three days, we are going to have as much fun as we can.

　As soon as we pass through the gate, a cobblestone boulevard spreads out before us. It's amazing, but in a world of frequent wars, wouldn't they make it a little more complicated in case the gates are breached?　...... Sylphy said it's a big country, so you think the royal city won't be attacked?　I'm a little worried about a country that's so bossy.

　I got a sharp tongue lashing from behind. Apparently, I was standing in the way at the gate. Or it could have been someone who was late to enter the capital because I had been lectured by the gatekeeper. I apologize for the inconvenience.

　Now, I'm not going to look like a hick if I just sit here and look at the main street. I don't know where to go, so let's just walk along observing the boulevard. First of all, I'm going to decide on a place to stay. ......　We're going to have a night out, so I don't think we need a place to stay.

　Well, it's not always possible to play overnight, so let's at least get a place to stay. In this case, we don't need a fancy inn, do we? We only have two nights and three days, so let's make it quick.

　We decide on our purpose and walk around the royal city. The streets are crowded with people and full of vitality, as it is the main street of a major city in a major country. Cobblestone pavements and stone buildings, as if this is a country with a long history. Maybe this is the atmosphere of the old-fashioned towns in Europe. ......That's right, this is medieval Europe, a very popular worldview in certain genres. I'm getting excited.

　I don't care if I look like a hick anymore. I open myself up and walk around observing my surroundings. Perhaps it's because it's by a large lake, but I noticed a waterway. It's the kind of canal that Belle and Lane would probably have a blast in if they were here. Well, they would not do that, though, because it would be a bizarre phenomenon.

　Thinking about Belle and Rain makes me a little sad. It's not unusual for them to be apart for such a long time, but they seem to be feeling a bit lonely in a strange land. I shouldn't have put up with Belle and the others going on this trip alone. You'd better enjoy yourself or you'll be punished.

　I regain my composure and walk around observing my surroundings. The water is beautiful, but a bit of a waste. It would be cool if they could make the waterway bigger and have a boat ride through the city like in Venice.

　......It would be cool, but from a practical point of view, there is little merit in building a large canal through the city and using boats. In this world, there are not so many tourists. I wondered alone and solved it by myself.

　However, there are many water spirits-like children in the city. It must be due to the influence of Lake Beryl and the waterway that runs through the city. ......　Come to think of it, if I play in King's Landing, the spirits will see me and Sylphy and the others will know what I'm doing. ...... No, that's not likely.

　I've heard that I'm famous among the spirits, but it's not like my description is being passed around. As long as I don't talk to them or touch them, they won't know. Now that we're relieved, let's quickly look for a place to stay.

　Ertina introduced us to Mr. Toruku's inn, didn't she? Eltina, how are you ......?　......I'm the reason why Ertina was left, so I guess it's not right to worry. Let's just wish her good luck quietly in our hearts. I don't care about the ex-gilmus.

　I'm not going to mention his name this time, and I'm not going to ask the Adventurers' Guild to introduce me. Then the ...... standard is to go shopping at a food stall or something and ask a local to introduce you to someone.

　Unfortunately, there are stores on both sides of the main street of King's Landing, but no food stalls. If you go off the main street, there may be some stalls, but it's too much trouble to look for them, so let's just ask at the stores around there. We should ask at the stores around there. The stores where the ladies are looking after the stalls are the ones we should aim for. Auntie's network of information is unparalleled.

　Oh, the lady at the grocery-like store over there is plump and kind. Let's ask her there.

"Welcome! Our vegetables are fresh.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I went to the greengrocer, the lady smiled at me and talked to me. I wondered if they were fresh, and if there were any vegetables that I could not get in the labyrinth city, I would buy them as souvenirs.

Hello, I'm new to the capital. Do you have any special vegetables?　If there are any unusual vegetables, I'd like to get them."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Specialty vegetables?　Well, it's hard to say since the specialty of King's Landing is seafood from Lake Beryl. There is no special vegetable, but this vegetable from around Lake Beryl is often eaten in King's Landing. They are cheap and delicious.

　The lady takes one of the vegetables on display in her store and shows it to me. Hmmm, it looks somewhat like watercress. Watercress. ...... I can't think of much to cook with it, but I'll buy some and take it home.

　If you can get the seeds, you could grow them in the waterways of paradise. I have a feeling that it would be a big bloomer, but I'll leave that to Dineh and Dolly. I'm sure they'll make it look good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We check the vegetables on the shelves of the store, but nothing new. I guess I'll just buy watercress and go home.

"Okay, ten bunches of watercress, please. And can you get watercress seeds?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One bunch is quite a lot, so ten bunches should be enough for a while.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ten bunches, that's a thousand elts. And we don't sell seeds. They grow in Lake Beryl, and they grow in the waterways of King's Landing on their own, so I'm trying to get rid of them. Very few people grow them themselves. That's why they're so inexpensive.

　If it comes through as watercress, it must be a plant similar to watercress. But extermination seems to be as fertile as ...... expected. Watercress in other worlds...... seems somehow more fertile than watercress on earth.

　I don't want to end up like Mint Terror, so I'll talk to Dine and Dolly before deciding whether to grow them in paradise or not.

"Yes, it's Sen-Elto. I'd also like to ask you if you know a good place to stay.　We will be eating out, so a safe and clean innkeeper would be great."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He gave me a few recommendations, including some small talk. The inns are often used by merchants and are a bit expensive, but I was told that they are safe and clean. I will not be staying at the inn much this time, so this is good enough for me.

　I'm sure I won't be staying here much this time, so this is good enough.

　I was able to get a room at the inn without incident. The room is clean and well recommended, and I feel a little disappointed that I don't plan to use it much. But my main goal is a night out, so I guess it can't be helped.

　At any rate, the innkeeper told me about a store selling fish and shellfish from Lake Beryl, so I should finish my shopping.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The store I'm looking for is said to be a fish shop equipped with a fish pond that makes use of the abundant water of Lake Beryl. I didn't expect to find a fish market in another world. I wonder what they do with the oxygen in the water?

　But it is a good point that they are kept alive. Would you buy a lot of eels and bring them back home alive and release them into the canal?　But I don't think there is enough food for eels. The fish in the canal will be wiped out, and now is not a good time. It's difficult to get involved in aquaculture, so I'll just buy some eels at the fish store and take them home this time.

　I heard that the fish shop offers a service that they will close the fish and process them to a certain extent if you specify the fish in the fish market and ask them to do so. It's like a Japanese supermarket system, and if you can drink alcohol, it becomes an izekusu izakaya. It makes me a little happy.

　We walk towards our destination, looking at the cityscape, which is different from that of the Royal City and the Labyrinth City in the Kingdom of Chrysoprase. Different countries on the same continent have different atmospheres. If the Kingdom of Chrysoprase has a rugged atmosphere, the Kingdom of Beryl has a glamorous atmosphere. We arrive at the fishmonger's shop, where we buy what we like.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The fishmonger's shop is more magnificent than I expected, as it is equipped with a fish market. I wondered how the air of the fish house was aerated, but the water was drawn directly from the canal and flowed into the big fish house.

　I had thought that they were using some kind of magical device to manage the water, but with such an abundance of water, it seems to be more economical to directly pour the water into the large cistern. After understanding the mechanism of the cages, we check the fish in the cages.

　......I know it's a different world, but this scene doesn't make sense to me. Why is there a salmon swimming in the cage?　In my mind, salmon is a fish from a cold region, so why is it swimming in this hot continent's Ikebukuro?

"Welcome. Nice salmon, isn't it? It's fatty and delicious!

　I turned around to see a tanned old man standing there with a net in his hand and a smile on his face. Maybe he would secure the fish with that net if I ordered. And, even in my translation of language understanding, that fish seems to be salmon. I love salmon, so there's nothing wrong with that, but it's subtle.

"Does this salmon have orange flesh and the female has a lot of eggs in her belly?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, that's right. Have you never eaten salmon, brother?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, I've eaten them before, but this is the first time I've seen them alive."

　The environment in which they live is different from that of Japanese salmon, but if they are so similar, they must taste the same. I want to eat salmon roe on rice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah, you can only get dried salmon roe around Lake Beryl. You've got to eat fresh salmon if you come to King's Landing. Wanna buy some?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, you told me about the roe. Well, let's just buy a dozen or so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Of course I'll buy them. Ten eggs, please. I want five salmon with roe in their bellies. And I'd like to buy some other fish, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm?　Salmon with eggs don't taste good, so I'll let you go. And it's not spawning season, so there are no salmon with eggs.

　The old man looks at me strangely. ...... freshwater fish are afraid of parasites, and maybe they don't eat salmon roe because they don't have a culture of eating it raw. I don't really have an image of eating salmon roe over fire. Oh, but there was salmon roe in Ishikari nabe. That wasn't so bad, but I prefer raw salmon roe.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I would have liked to have the salmon roe bowl, but it was out of season. I'll come back when it's in season and get the salmon roe for sure. I asked for a dozen of regular salmon for now, and was taken to the yukes where other fish were kept.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There were fish like char, landlocked salmon, and ayu (sweetfish), small fish like wakasagi (smelt), and fish like black bass and thunder fish. I have heard that black bass and thunder fish are tasty if cooked well, but I am afraid to touch them because of their image.

"Is this the last of the fish, old man?　What about the eels?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Eels?　Only a slammer would eat eels."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... my objective eels are being dissed. No, this is an opportunity. Cooking Cheat's Eel Cooking. What the hell!　I never knew eels could taste so good!　It's an event of the sort. Let's ask the old man where we can get eels.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　............Oofu, eels are only fished by slum people. Lake Beryl has a fishermen's association and you need a permit to catch normal fish. Eels, which are slimy and poisonous in their blood, are not allowed to be caught, and they are a valuable food for the slum people. The status of eels is too low.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, I would like to raise the status of eels, but if eels become popular, slum people will not be able to eat them. If we accidentally spread the word that eels are delicious, the slum people will hate us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We should think a little before we act. For now, we buy a lot of fish recommended by the old man, and ask him to show us where the slum is.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For a moment, I thought it would be easier to go and catch eels by myself, but fishing in the lake would require the cooperation of Dine and Rain. If I summoned Deanne, let alone Rain, she would probably want to visit the liquor stores in King's Landing, and it would be safer not to do so.

"Are you going to the slums, brother?　You don't have to tell me, but it's not safe. If a weak-looking guy like you sets foot in there, you'll be skinned to ribbons."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Weak? I'm still a rank-A adventurer, and with the help of Sylphy and the others, I've been through a lot of rough times. ...... but I still don't seem to have acquired the air of a strong man. Maybe I'm not tense enough in my adventures in the warmth of the greenhouse. I'm starting to feel a little sad.

"Well, well, I'll hire an escort so you won't have to worry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The old man seemed to be convinced by the words "hire an escort" and told us the location of the slum. Why do you want to go to the slum so badly?　I think he looked at me like I was an idiot, but I'll pretend I didn't notice. I'll just get the eels and get myself a fever tonight!
