152 . Second week of remote city training Part 3-Visit



 That night, a welcome dinner for the inspection party was held by the lord of the frontier city of Rebecombe.

 When I checked, I found out that they still can't allow sub-human squires to participate.
 However, since I'm in the position of being in charge of the training, I decided to participate in the beginning of the meeting.

It's not necessary for you to be so concerned about Unya, dear.
 I told her to wait at the inn.

 I'm sure you'll be able to find a place to stay in the subaltern area of the city, because Rebekombe's lodgings were also forbidden by law.
 I'm sure the people who have been living near the capital for a long time would be hesitant to enter the subhuman town, but for people like me who have been dealing with subhumans since I was a child, it doesn't bother me at all.
 However, the sub-humans I came into contact with, who lived as nobles, were all slaves.
 Even Una is one of the former slave subhuman maids.
 In other words, even though she's such an excellent maid, I wondered once again how she could be mistreated just for being a subhuman.

 After attending the meeting, I stood up from my seat just as the Lord of Rebecombe's greeting was over and the meal had begun.
 Since it was buffet style, I didn't have to worry about the food.

 I had intended to leave the venue, leaving my seat so that I wouldn't be so inconspicuous.
I'll join you.
 As he said this, before I knew it, Kiristic was walking alongside me.
''Me too ... I haven't liked it for a long time, you know, this racial supremacy.''
 We left the venue, chatting with Kiristic as he said that.

 Shortly afterwards, Kiristic and I arrive at the inn where we've been waiting for Unja.
 Kiristic is...
Well, I guess I'll be staying here, then.
 As I said that, I started the process of staying at the store's owner's partner.

 ...I just had a few concerns about this kyristic.

 When I was still a member of the Greed family.
 Because of the high status of being one of the four noble families, the people around me treated me like I was touching a boil, but there was only one child who treated me normally.
 Because of the fact that the girl was quite shy, she herself was a bit of a floater from the people around her, but she often talked with me.
 That child's family was also a nobleman, but because his father was selected to be the lord of a small, outlying city in the countryside, they moved away and that was it.

 ........Only, if I'm not mistaken, the child should have been a girl.

 Kiristic is indeed a bit neutral, but she always dresses as a man, and.......
 To begin with, the name is different.

 As I recall, she was
...Minis Mink.
 I was muttering that unconsciously.

 Then, as if he could hear me, Kiristic shook his body.
 He turned his gaze to me and smiled at me.
"...Brother Safate, have you finally remembered?
 Yes, she said to me.

 I could not help but be stunned by her words, and....

◇ ◇.

 Kiristic went straight into the inn, as he was moving his luggage in his magic bag.

 Shortly after that, Kiristic~Minimink, who came to the room where me and Unya were, smiled at me again.
''Totally... you're using such a shape changing magic and you're using a fake name, so I got defensive.''

 Kyristic - According to Minnisminck, he was here to visit a summer festival held in the small frontier city of Liberty.
When I saw my brother Safate addressing the opening ceremony, I thought my heart would stop beating.
 He laughed as he said that.

 I heard that he applied for a visitation with me afterwards.
 The two days during that festival were already booked full of visitors, so they were refused.
'I'm sorry to hear that,'
 I said and apologized to Kiristic.
 However, Kiristic was
'That's not proof that we're a thriving city. I'm rather pleased.
 Then he laughed again.
''Well I was looking forward to hearing that the Lord of Liberty was attending this training, and I was very amused when I saw the bearded brother standing there.
 After saying that, Kiristic laughs again.

 .........But I didn't know this Kiristic was that Minismink.......

 Minnis Mink always walked behind me.
 We were the same age, but he always referred to me as "Brother Safate" and adored me.

 Ah, I see.
 Was this the reason why I had taken Kiristic hiding behind me at lunch with Riknas as a somewhat nostalgic feeling?

''...But why is Minis Mink pretending to be a man and participating in this training?''
 When I say that, Minnis Mink, aka Kyristick, is
'There's a lot of matchmaking and stuff just because I'm the lord's daughter I've been passing it off as a man for a few years now. To be honest, it's a pain in the ass.
 despite that being said
''Well then, I'm really in a bind this time because I'm starting to get matchmaking offers from women...''
 He added, and sighed loudly.

 Surely the minisminks have been around for a long time.
My dream is to follow in my father's footsteps and become a great lord.
 And I've been saying that for a long time.

 Although we have both grown up in our bodies.
 The kindred spirits remained the same as in the past, and Kiristic and I ended up chatting in my room late that day with Unja.
 

 I heard that Erebuscombe, where Kiristic-Minisminck is located, is a little north of Batcombe in Gelter from my Liberty, and I learned that it's not that far away.
 I've already visited Liberty, and Kiristic has already known about it.
"When you're done with your training, I'll go back to visit you as the Assistant Lord of Erebacombe.
 That's what he told me.

◇ ◇ ◇.

 During the inspection in REBECOMbe, we observed many inspections related to distribution.
 
 Because it is a prosperous trade city, there were many interesting places, such as facilities that can receive a large number of wagons that go back and forth between neighboring cities, as well as the locations where branches of the various merchant associations that have their headquarters in the royal capital are located.

 Nevertheless.

 Although the scale of these facilities is small, a reasonable distribution facility has already been built in Liberty.
 This was due in large part to the influence of Kuro, a peddler, who, prior to becoming a trading supervisor in Liberty, used to ply this vast continent with his wagon teams.

 We toured these facilities, and the training session was soon completed.

 The training itself was certainly worthwhile.
 The training itself was certainly meaningful, but I had a lot to learn about the evils of racial supremacy.

 However, I wish I could learn from this experience and make use of it for my future city management.

◇ ◇.

 After the training was over, we returned to the capital and got off the carriage in front of the Central Office Frontier Bureau to hear a final greeting from Brench Cruller.

 After a few words from Brench Cruller, he told us that he hoped we would be able to use this training as a reference in the future when he became a lord.
Then don't forget to submit a report on this training at the end of the week.
 With that reminder, the day was dismissed.

 Me and Kiristic had been summarizing what we had trained for that day every night, so I didn't feel particularly bothered about submitting reports.
Reports, huh?
 I was somewhat struck by the fact that Riknas looked quite reluctant.

 Well, I have two days off tomorrow.
 I'm going to try to get back to Liberty once this vacation is over.
