281-Episode 40 "The Royal City of Cheberpos"





 The carriage enters the royal capital through a sturdy-looking grand gate.
 As expected of a prince's Kingsguard carriage.
 It was a face-pass grade passage with plenty of time to spare.
 When I looked at the other carriages, I saw that they had been stopped once by soldiers.

''Is the Prince's Kingsguard special after all?''

 Captain Zeth answered my question.

''The power of the Special Lending Crest will be strong as well. Especially in the vicinity of the King's Capital, it's very effective.''

 Does it feel like the authority of the special loan crests is stronger closer to the center?
 The carriage went through the castle town in a swift manner.
 I saw an area with a lot of smoke rising.

''Is there any special district in that area?''
This is the workshop district. The workshop area. We have a lot of minerals in Ruvelargan, so we have a lot of minerals to work with.

 The streets looked like a lot of brick houses.
 There was something - what an intimidating feeling in the pavement of the streets.
 It seems to be in contrast to the delicate Christophia.

 If Christofia is a scenic tourist city, then Schwerpos seems to be a sophisticated industrial city.

 No, that's just my intuitive first impression of the city.
 The carriage entered the area near the castle.

''Come to think of it, are the two towers at the castle the warfare towers I've heard rumors about?
No, no, no, that wasn't it.

 Hmm?
 There was no other tower-like structure in sight.
 The Holy Ruins were inside the capital.
 However, the Jail Tower might be located outside the capital.

We're here.

 I was about to ask more about the War Prison Tower when the carriage stops.
 Captain Zeth opens the door.
 Through the open door, we can see a large mansion.

"That will be your residence for the duration of your stay.
..........
"Master Conjurer? I'm sorry, can I help you? Lord Currier, and the lady-in-waiting...

 I had my mouth open with a pout.
 Currier-san was also a bit surprised.
 Mia-san let out a breath, "Ha, wow.........

''A big mansion, right........''

 It's bigger than the Arkwright family's mansion where I stayed.
 The gate is also magnificent.

"Ho, are you sure it's okay to live in such a splendid mansion during your stay?
Of course. Prince Geary asked me to lend you this room, sir.
Ha, ha.

 What is this VIP treatment?
 Even if it's for a reason, it's just a student from another country.
 You don't think three people are going to use such a luxurious house?
 Hmm?
 Ladies and gentlemen...?
 Captain Zeth said, "Ladies and gentlemen.
 In other words, during my stay, I'll be working with Currier-san and Mia-san...

..........

 Do we live under the same roof?

Well then, we'll be going now. From now on, I believe that Master Shanatrice and the Divine Punishment Squad will basically be in charge of all of Kurohiko's activities in King's Landing.

 Captain Zeth gave me a quick explanation about the inside of the mansion.
 In the meantime, the people of the Konoe Guards crisply carried their belongings into the mansion.
 Mia said to the Konoe Guard.

I'm your handmaiden, sir.

 I offered.
 But they

'No, even if you are a maid, you are still a guest of the Prince. We'll take it in.

 Saying that, he carried me away without a single disagreeable look on his face.
 What is this group of handsome people with good-looking personalities........
 After the luggage was carried in, Captain Zeth gave his men instructions.
 The preparations for the Kingsguard to leave the mansion were quickly made.
 I thanked them on behalf of the group.

''Thank you for everything, Captain Zeth. And all the members of the Konoe Guard.''

 He asked me to shake his hand, so I shook Captain Zeth's hand.

'If you need anything else, you're welcome to come to us for help.
Thank you.

 When he removed his hand, Captain Zeth bowed his head.

'Now, if you'll excuse me,'

 We saw the Zeth captains off at the gate of the mansion.
 As we watched the distant carriage of the Kingsguard, Currier-san opened her mouth.

''At first I was wary that they might have a backstory, but they were usually a pleasant bunch.......So there are people like that in the heart of this country?''
I hope the God's Punishment Squad are pleasant people like that.
Hmm, I don't know. The way the captain said it, it's not going to be easy.

 However, it's impossible to know without meeting them in person.
 I heard that the Divine Punishment Unit will take care of our future in the royal capital.
 Then we should meet them in the near future.
 Then we will know what the people of God's Punishment Squad are like then.
 We entered the mansion.
 Immediately, Mia-san began to move crisply.
 You can freely move and use the things in the mansion.
 That's what Captain Zeth explained to me.

''Is this........a cold magic machine.......? Even though it's said that there are not even ten of them yet in Renowthread.......

 Mia was kind of astonished.
 I feel like I'm being pressurized.

''This, is this a mansion of the royal treatment class?''

 By the way, it seems that a cold magic machine is, in essence, like a refrigerator.

''It has first-class ingredients........This is rather confusing as to what to make.......''

 Mia checks the contents of the cold-surgery machine in a dull moment.
 She seems to be seriously puzzling over it.
 It's just that her tail is wagging from side to side with a twitch, which is kind of cute.

 Currier-san crosses her arms.

''Mia seems to be in that state for a while, so shall we go ahead and take a look around the mansion?

And it's big...

 The bathroom was huge.

''Hmm, with this size, it's as big as the bathrooms in the girls' quarters...''

 Mr. Currier groans next to me.

'It's too big for the three of us to fit in,'
What?

 Currier coughs dryly.

'That was a metaphor ... forget it.
Yes, yes....

 We left the bathhouse and changing room.
 Currier looks at the top of the stairs.

'Next stop, upstairs.'

 We walked up the stairs to the top.
 When we got to the second floor, we found a long corridor.
 The room was furnished with serene, atmospheric furnishings in various places.
 The windows were evenly spaced with chic colored curtains.
 It looks like it's been cleaned well.
 There are several doors on the second floor as well.

Hmmm.........even if I take a quick look, I can see at least five rooms. But one room seems quite large, but...

 We went through the rooms one by one.
 The bed making was perfectly done.
 The basic construction is the same, but there are minute differences between the rooms.
 Creating a sense of unity while creating minute differences........

 I remember seeing a resort hotel online when I was in my previous world that looked like this.

 Currier suggested.

'How about using those three rooms in a row there? And if you're far enough away, it's too late to rush in if something goes wrong.
Well, shall we?

 Mia-san, who came in late to check the upstairs with a pat on the back, agreed with that.

 Thus, as you can see from the front, I'm in the middle, Currier-san is on the left, and Mia-san is using the room on the right.

 Even after arriving at the King's Landing, it can be said that everything is going well for now.
 We haven't had any problems that seem to be problems.
 Surprisingly, maybe I was just too prepared.
 Prince Gears seems to be welcoming us with open arms.
 The prince's personal guard is also a good bunch of people.
 Yeah ... not a bad start.
 And then there was the sound of the front door being thrown open with great force.

''Tanomo!
..........

 It was the attack of the witches.
