139 . The city of the royal capital 2



 I am now on my way to the castle town of King's Landing.

 I'm riding a carriage driven by Dengo the sheepman from Quinn's private residence at the Quinn Trading Company, where I am indebted to him, to the center of the city from almost the edge of the city, which is quite a distance.
 If you go to the center of the city from the city wall, for example, if you go on foot, you would leave in the morning and arrive at the center in the evening.

 Therefore, it is common to travel by horse and carriage within this royal city.

 In that sense, this Dengo should be of some help to me while I'm under the care of Quinn's mansion.

 I went from the carriage to Dengo.
I'm sure this is going to take a while, but thanks for your help.
 So I greeted Dengo again.

 Dengo looked a little surprised at me.
I'm sure you're not going to be able to get away with it, but I'm sure you're going to be able to get away with it.
 Dengo laughed a little happily when he said that.
That said, you must give me the carriage's schedule the day before.
 It's not necessary for me to attend to your schedule to meet with your daughter's schedule or the Chamber of Commerce.
 You told me so.

 Yeah, you're right.

 I'm just a guest.
 Although Dengo is in charge of the carriage of Quinn's private residence, I'm not the only one who gets to ride in that carriage.

 I'll have to pick up Quinn, who lives in the villa.
 In some cases, there would even be work to pick up and drop off guests of the Chamber of Commerce.

 Quinn doesn't hire too many extra people, so perhaps Dengo is also busy every day.

 When I think about it, my act of getting a carriage out for the reason that I wanted to see what's going on in the city seems like a selfish annoyance to me...
 Anyway, I'm going to think carefully before I ask Dengo to do so in the future.

◇ ◇ ◇.

 The carriage came along the city road to a position where the city could be seen in about an hour or so, and then entered the city road behind one here.

 This was a normal behavior in the racial supremacy of the royal capital.

 Because.
 Here in King's Landing, an unspoken rule has been established that carriages driven by sub-humans must not use the front roads, and sub-human driven carriages like Dengo's must travel the back roads.

 That's why the aristocrats don't hire sub-humans to handle the carriages.

 ........However.
 The current me, who has an aristocratic class, doesn't care much about such things.

 After all, the regular stagecoach that operates in the frontier small town of Liberty is run by the boorish people, and... ah, but during the festival
"I'd like to have a race-controlled carriage, please.
 I heard that there was a visitor from King's Landing who complained to me about it.

 While I was thinking about this, the carriage arrived at the Quinn Trading Company building shortly afterwards.

 Today I plan to walk around the city on foot from here.
 I'm planning to stop by the Central Agency's Frontier Bureau in the meantime to complete the procedures for the Frontier City Training course, and I need to register Quinn's private residence as a place to stay.

 Unja and I get down from the door that Dengo reverently opens for us.
The return flight is scheduled for just before nightfall, so please be back before then.
 With that, Dengo bowed to Unna and me, and once again rode to the wheelhouse and drove off in his carriage to wherever he was.

 I decided to go ahead and say hello to Quinn, so I stepped into the Chamber of Commerce building, but
Oh, the Chairman just left for Batcombe on a liner.
 Yes, one of the cobolts working in the shop told me.

 I figured that Batcombe would have a morning outbound flight and an evening return flight, so I figured that if I could use these regular morning and evening flights, I might be able to make a day trip to Liberty....

 After leaving the Quinn Trading Company building, Unya and I headed to the central office of the royal capital.
 This is a 20-story stone skyscraper, a high-rise structure that is rarely seen in a remote city.
 Since I lived in the capital, I have often wondered how such a tall building could be in such a state of disarray and not fall down.
 I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

 It's just that...
 I've been told that in some buildings a degraded version of this permanent magic is being used, which seems to be causing some problems.
 It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with it, but it's also a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with it.
 What can I say?

 I'm also walking along the back streets with my sub-human companion, Unja.
 It's not a deserted backstreet at all.
 The only difference is whether or not there are sub-humans coming and going.

 I arrived in front of a high-rise building with a sign that said "Central Office" on it.

 After entering, we asked the general receptionist where the frontier bureau was located, and then we went to the frontier bureau on our feet.

 The building has an automatic boarding machine, a system that raises and lowers the box-like room in which people board.
 It allows us to get to the 20th floor, the top floor, in a matter of minutes.

 When Unja and I boarded the automatic boarding machine, we were the only guests in the room.
 I pressed the button on the seventh floor, where the frontier station is located, and put my finger on the button to close the door.

Oh, wait a minute.
 Then I heard voices.
 I took my hand off the close button and a man with a subhuman came running into the automatic boarding machine.
"Thanks for the help.
 Breathing a little on his shoulder, the man thanked me, and then he saw that the seventh floor had already been pushed.
I don't suppose you're here for frontier city training too, by any chance?
 Then he smiled, a slightly happy smile on his face.
 I'm not sure I have anything to hide, I thought.
'Yes, yes. I arrived in King's Landing yesterday, and I was just here today for the formalities.
 I responded.
 To me, he said.
So do I. I'm Riknas, and this is my caretaker, Sreena, who came along to take care of me.
 As he said this, he held out his right hand to me.
 As I squeezed that hand back, Srina bobbed her head with a peck at the back of it.
 It's a good thing that you're not just a dog person from the shape of your ears.
 It's a good thing that you're not a fan of the newer versions of the game.
 When Riknas saw such a situation of Sleena, he saw a wry smile on his face.
Oh, forgive him. I went to see a friend of mine in King's Landing and all the maids were of my race, so I was feeling a bit uncomfortable.
 As he said this, he stroked Sreena's head.
 Then, Sleena
'Ta, I know, but I always ask you not to treat me like a child like that, Wah.
 As he says this, he is angry with his shoulders and his cheeks are puffed up, but his tail is wagging from side to side, so it's obvious that he is very happy....

 I, too, introduced myself as Gossage, and we were often chatting away when the automatic boarding machine arrived at the seventh floor.

 As we walked into the frontier station together, Riknas and I told him that we were here for the frontier city training.
Then, please tell us the name of the city you belong to, so that we can prepare the relevant documents. I'll prepare the relevant documents.
 When the woman at the reception desk told me that, I
Gossage, Lord of Liberty, a small frontier city.
 I told him so, but next to him, Riknas
I'm Ryknas, the next Lord of Urinacombe, a small frontier city.
 That's what he said.

 Huh? Urinacombe?
