I see it. Temma, that's 'Nanao'
'It's the heart of the Southern Autonomous Region, and that's the town that was built by Amour's great-grandfather, Grandpa Kay, and his grandfather, Crow.

　Blanka quickly added to Amour's explanation.
　It had been four days since they had joined up with Viscount Lobo and the others, and they had finally arrived at their destination city. At a glance, Nanao doesn't look that big despite being the center of the southern autonomous region, but that's because Nanao is a city built on top of a hill, and even if it doesn't look big from where we are, it's actually about two-thirds the size of Seigen.
　One of the reasons Nanao was built on top of a hill is because the city was designed to fight the Krastin Kingdom Army.
　The southern autonomous region was created about a hundred years ago as a form of half-independence from the kingdom, and it is said that there was a time when it was initially called the Southern Republic. However, since it was originally the territory of the kingdom, it seems that a number of conflicts with the kingdom's military occurred, and eventually it was decided to fall to the kingdom in the form of an autonomous region.
　It was right around this time that Nanao began to be built, with steep mountains in the east, a deep forest where demons strolled in the west, and long, gentle slopes in the north and south, that Grandpa Kay and his son, Crow, laid the foundation. In the end, the battle ended before the Royal Army arrived in Nanao, but the town's construction has been continued to this day.
　Incidentally, one of the reasons why the southern part of the country was recognized as an autonomous region is because of the discrimination against beastmen, and the king of the time who was afraid of the decline in national power due to the conflict with the southern part of the country decided to make it an autonomous region. If the beastmen, who are on average stronger than the human race, fought to the death, even though they might win due to the difference in national strength, there is no doubt that the damage would be enormous.
　Seeing the soldiers returning earlier than planned, the gatekeepers and people in the city were surprised, but soon after Viscount Lobo announced that the problem was solved, we were greeted with loud cheers. The city is lined with buildings that could be described as Japanese style, and there don't seem to be many western style buildings in this world in general.
　When I proceeded to the center of the city with the cheers, I saw a building ahead of me that looked like a two-story fort. Apparently, that seems to be the residence of Amur and his friends.
　Hana-san explained something to the soldier who came out to greet them, and the soldier came in front of Raiden and began to guide him. Following that guidance, we proceeded to Leiden and were led to a space that looked like a stable. After stopping the carriage there and collecting Raiden, a group of women who looked like maids appeared and led him towards the building.
　I've been told that the mansion is made up of several buildings within the grounds, and there are quarters for the soldiers and servants.

''Temma, take off your shoes here.''

　The wenches led us to the entrance of the largest building, and Amur said that he would lead us from there. At that time, my grandfather tried to climb up there with his feet on the ground, so Amur began to explain to him.
　First of all, it is said that in many buildings in the southern autonomous region, you have to take off your shoes before entering. I was told that in some places you have to wash your feet after taking off your shoes, this is a device to keep the building clean. There were many other detailed rules, but many of them were close to common sense in Japan.

'Hmm, it's a hassle to change into indoor shoes to enter the mansion,' he said. However, Temma doesn't seem to mind it too much.

'I had to take them off or change them in my room, whether in Kukri village or in the royal residence. Walking around in dirty shoes was a pain in the ass to clean.

It's true, isn't it?

　This would be a rare rule in this world, but as for me, I didn't like the idea of using outside shoes even in my room, so I always changed them. I'm not going to force anyone else to do so, but Aina was the only one who seemed to be seriously debating whether or not to adopt it.

'There's always a pair of tops on hand for visitors, so you can use those.

　With that, Amour pulled out a pair of larger slippers from the shoebox. If Grandpa Kay was who I imagined he was, I don't think slippers existed in that era, but I thought that even if the world was different from the one I needed, the shape might naturally resemble the shape.

Hmm, these slippers are quite comfortable. It's not too tight, so it's very comfortable.

　Grandpa seemed to like the slippers and asked Blanca where he could buy them.
　We were then made to wait for a little while in a room that looked like an anteroom, and this time Blanca came to call us.

'I heard that my brother and sister-in-law are waiting for you here.

　With that, Blanca stopped in a room at the edge of the mansion. She wondered if this town wasn't really Japan, looking at the shoji-panelled sliding doors in front of her and the Japanese garden-style garden she could see from the porch.

'I've brought Temma and Lady Merlin with me. Can we come in?

Oh.

　Amur called out to him from outside to ask permission to enter, and Viscount Lobo, who was inside, gave him permission. Hearing this permission, Amur opened the sliding door a little roughly and strolled in.
　When I followed Amur inside, I found Viscount Lobo and Hana sitting at the back of the room, with their subordinates sitting on the floor to make way for the barons. It's just like an audience scene in a period drama.

It is not necessary to bow your head, Temma. You can walk straight over and sit down in the middle of the room. When you sit down, there is no need to be grateful.

　I almost bowed my head involuntarily as I entered, but Blanca stopped me with a whisper. After a brief explanation, Blanca walked behind his men and sat down near Viscount Lobo.
　Grandpa and I walked along as Blanca told us to, and some of his subordinates were glaring at us, but all of them were poked with their elbows by their colleagues next to them. As it was, I got to the center area, so I sat down with a normal cross-legged seat, and my grandpa sat the same way on my right side. And for some reason, Amur was on my left.

"Amur, you're over here,

　After being warned by Hana-san, Amour stood up and moved to sit back down next to Hana-san with a feeling of reluctance. Viscount Lobo looked at such a situation with a bitter face, but as expected, he didn't say anything on this occasion.

''Temma. You have delivered the royal letter well. So.........''
'But first, if you have a subordinate, you can let him out. It would be a pity if they stayed in the bag forever.

　Interrupting Viscount Lobo's words, Hana-san told me to get Slarin and the others out. By the time I came to Nanao, I told them I was a tamer, but I didn't tell them what kind of subordinates I was a tamer. It's a good idea to have a few of these in your possession, because they could be your trump card in the unlikely event of an emergency. Most likely, he might know from Blanca, Amur, or some other information network.
　At the mention of a subordinate, Viscount Lobo didn't change his expression, but more than half of his men were buzzing. Perhaps they realized that it was possible to use Slarin and the others to make a surprise attack here. As for me, I have no intention of taking them by surprise. Well, on the contrary, I was relying on it as a fighting force when I was attacked.

''Then, I'll take your word for it.

　I put out a slarin first, behind myself. At this point, some of my men who had seen Slarin looked at him like he was a fool, but they pulled a face when they saw Shiroumaru who came out next, and then were so surprised that they almost turned over when Solomon came out.

'In addition to this, there is Raiden, who was pulling a carriage, and two spider demons, but this place is too small to let Raiden out, and the two spiders are shy, so please forgive me.'

　I said that I still possessed the strength, mainly to those who looked at Slarin and looked at him like he was a fool. However, as for the other golems who are also in force, I won't tell them here. I'm going to let them know later via Blanca or Hana-san and have them chill their livers to the fullest.

''So it was you after all that the merchant from the royal capital was rumored to be you.

　Hana-san seemed to have gotten a bite that the owner of the rumor was me and wasn't really surprised, but Viscount Lobo was quite surprised. Maybe Hana-san had sensed the smell when she rode in my carriage, but the Lobo Viscount didn't notice because he didn't get any closer to the carriage than necessary.

'Hey, do you mind if I touch it a bit?'

　Hana looked at Shiroumaru and Solomon and ruffled her hands, so she asked them and told them it was okay if it looked okay, and then she happily approached Shiroumaru and the others and quickly took permission. And.........

She's the most comfortable to the touch.

　Hana was very fond of the slarin'. It seems that she was struck by the cool, plump feeling of the slarin'. The frustration of Shiroumaru and Solomon at this moment was very interesting.

''Fu~........well, let's continue the story.

Oh, well...　

　Satisfied, Hana-san suddenly passed the baton to Viscount Lobo and sat there with Slarin in her arms. It seems that she intends to leave the conversation to Viscount Lobo and enjoy Slarin to her heart's content.

It's a good idea to have a good time with your friends. We're still discussing the contents of the letter. I'm sure you'll be able to tell the royal family about the accomplishment of your request, since it will take me some time to write a response because of that.

'I want it, so you'll have to stay in Nanao for a while. I'll arrange accommodation for you during that time, and I'll hold the fee. I'd really like you to sleep in the house, but I don't think it would be easy for you to move around freely here because we're all very bloodthirsty.

　Interrupting Viscount Lobo's words, Hana-san, who was diagonally behind me, continued to speak. At those words, "A request? I asked, and Hana nodded.

'If you just want to deliver a reply, why don't you send a request to Nanao's adventurers!

''You, in that case, in addition to the usual commission fee, you will also have to cover the wages to and from the royal capital. In some cases, you will also need to pay the risk allowance for the return trip. If you think about it, it's cheaper to ask Tenma, who only charges for the trip. Moreover, you can be sure of their ability to deliver in a short time.

But even in that case, wouldn't Temma have to bring proof that the request was complete?

"You can leave them with Seigen or with the merchants on their way to King's Landing. You may not be able to entrust them with your reply to the royal family, but you can at least entrust them with a testimonial to bring back. And since you are their supplier, it is not a problem.

Nuh-uh.

　The two men's argument seemed to have gone to Hana-san. With a victor's smile on her face, Hana-san overheard one of her subordinates and sent him outside.

It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you want to do with it.

　I did some quick calculations in my head, but I decided to accept the request, judging it to be a pretty good deal for me with Raiden around. I checked with my grandfather to be sure, but he doesn't seem to have any problems either.

I'll be back in a little while and my man will be back just in time. Amur, the usual inn, please show Temma to me.
Okay!

Nah!

You, Blanca, stay behind for a little while because I need to talk to you about something.

　The two people who had been stopped by Hana-san | (especially Viscount Lobo) sat back down on the spot with a disgusted look on their faces, and when their subordinates saw this, they left the room while discussing their plans for the rest of the day.

''Well then, Temma. I'll show you to the inn.

Yeah, please. Slarin, Shilomar, Solomon, come back to the bag.　

　With that, the three animals went back into the bag in turn. As they did so, Slarin slipped smoothly out of Hana-san's arms, and Hana-san looked sad.
　Amur ignored Hana-san and headed out of the room, pulling my hand away from her. But.........

'Temma my feet are numb I need a moment to give you some time...'

　Grandpa's legs seemed to have gone numb, and he was crawling on all fours, tangling his legs. When I approached Grandpa to use my recovery magic, Shiroumaru and Solomon jumped out of the bag and started poking at his feet. Apparently, they remembered that the reaction to poking Grandpa's foot on the journey was funny. Later on, the two animals were scolded by Grandpa.

'Temma, we have to stop before we go to the inn,'

　Amur said after leaving the mansion and walked away. I wondered where he was going, but it was another mansion a short walk from the mansion. He said he was about to stop before the inn, so he was sure it wasn't the inn, but he didn't know what he was stopping here for. While thinking about such things, Amur goes through the mansion gate as if he is selfish. And.

Hey, Sanna, I'm here.

　As Amur opened the front door, he called out in a loud voice to someone named Sanah Hey. The person who appeared after hearing that voice was........

Amur's ... or Hannah's sister?

　She was a woman who looked like Amur and Hana-san. But she looked more mature than Amour and Hana-san, so I thought she was Hana-san's sister, not Amour, but in fact, she was not.

'No, no. She's your mother's sister, Blanca's wife.

It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Sanna.

　Compared to Amur and Hana, who had a childlike quality to them, the woman who called herself Sana bowed her head with a beautiful gesture. Seeing this, my grandfather and I hurriedly introduced ourselves.

'Amour, is this man your good man?'
Yes!

No, sir.
Sorry.

　Sana, who believed me, who had never met me before, than Amur, who nodded instantly, laughed happily and told me to go up to the mansion, but she looked disappointed when I told her that Amur had just stopped by to say hello and that he had to take us to the inn first. However, when I told him that Blanca had returned and was now in her mansion (home), he looked happy with his cheeks stained.

'Are you sure Sana-san is Hana-san's sister? Not my sister?

True, Sanna is your mother's sister and she's probably your mother's sister.

　From the calmness and atmosphere, it seems that Amur also thought that Sana-san looks older than Hana-san in all likelihood, and he seemed a little unsure of his answer.
　By the way, comparing the three of them, there is not much difference between them, but Sana-san, Hana-san and Amur are taller in that order. Although their body shapes seem to be almost the same, Hana-san and Amour wear clothes that seem to be easy to move around in, while Sana-san wears clothes that look like a kimono, which may be a factor that makes her look the oldest. Most of all, if someone who doesn't know anything about the three of them were to see them together, they would look young enough to be mistaken for three sisters.

Well, I'll take you to the inn.

Please.
Does Sanna have a store? I heard something clattering in the back of the house.

　Granddad said that he heard a small noise coming from the back of the mansion....the back side of the house to be exact. It sounded like the sound of some kind of loom, so I was curious about it, but because of Amur's comment, I missed the right time to hear it.

'Sanah hey is ... a craft? The source of the? I'm doing something like ... I don't know the details because I'm not really interested in it, to be honest.

　It seems a bit problematic not knowing the work of your relatives who live nearby, but in Amur's case, he seems more interested in food or weapons than ornaments and the like, so maybe it can't be helped.

''Heh~ Maybe I should ask him if I can visit the place next time.

I think I'll ask Blanca to take you to the inn. Here's the inn.

　Amur showed me a three-story building that would more aptly be called an inn rather than an inn. The place is located a short walk past Sana's (Blanca's) mansion, about one kilometer from Amur's house.
　I don't know about the other innkeepers, but since the inn was prepared in the name of the Viscount, it's probably one of the best in Nanao.
　As soon as Amur spoke with the receptionist, someone who looks like the owner appeared and took us to a separate room at the back of the first floor. While on our way there, the guide told us that the detached room is designed to prevent prying eyes from the other floors. It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with your friends. Yeah?

It's a nice room.

'This 'Ryusai Ken' is the best inn in Nanao. It was originally started by Grandpa Kay he said it got too much trouble along the way and he left it to his men.

　I don't know what kind of Chinese characters Ryusai would guess, but Ken's would be 'eaves'. After all, based on the construction of this town and the buildings, either Grandpa Kay, who is said to have laid the foundation, or his son, Crow, is probably a reincarnation.

''Excuse me. ''Miss, we're here to welcome you back to the mansion.''
Well ... but I'll say no!

'No! Not!　

　The matchmaker (or something like that) came to inform Amur that he was being picked up, but Amur immediately declined. However, as if anticipating this, Blanca appeared at a distance and grabbed Amur by the neck and lifted him up.

'Stop! Let go of me! Kidnapper!

I'm sorry for the commotion. Temma, Lord Merlin, I'm taking this inn for a week, so take your time during that time. I've asked you to explain the rest.

　Blanca completely ignored the fussy Amour and went back to leave the matchmaker to take care of the rest.

''Then let me explain it to you.

　The matchmaker also began to explain as if there was no such thing as Amur. According to the explanation, meals are breakfast and dinner, lunch is said to have to tell the inn early or prepare for yourself.
　Apart from meals, they also explained about the bath. It is said that the bath is also equipped in this detached house, but it seems that the one in the main building is larger. However, since all guests can use the main building, it is said to be very noisy if you are unlucky. Moreover, the baths are said to be closed late at night. On the other hand, the bathroom in the detached house is not as big as the main building, but you can use it almost all day long. By the way, there is no bath of mixed bathing in the Ryusai Ken.
　There were a few other minor things, but basically the room is okay as long as you don't make it too dirty or hurt it too much, and if it's not Leiden, you can let him stay in the room. The reason Lyden was a no-no was because he was too big and too heavy. However, he said it's not a problem to put him out in the garden for his own use away from the house... I tried to put him out there to try it out, but he didn't want to because it was too small... but...

Grandpa, I'm going to go around the house. Do you want to follow me?

I might as well take a bath. I've heard that the baths in the main building are usually empty at this hour.

　So, we're going to split up and act. By the way, Shiroumaru and Solomon are going to follow me, and Slarin is going to stay behind to take care of Gol and Jill, who will be out for a while.

I'm going to go then. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this, but I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.

　Slarin had replied to my advice by extending his tentacles.

''Take care of your souvenirs~''

　Grandpa seemed to be going to the bath as soon as possible and had a change of clothes and a hand towel provided.

"By the way, Temma, how do I wear these clothes? How do I wear these clothes?

　Grandpa unfolded his yukata-like outfit and tilted his head back. I know how to put on a yukata, but it's not necessarily the right way to put it on in this world, and I don't think it's right for me to know, so I had to call my nakai-san (that's what I was calling her) and ask her to teach me with me. As it turns out, the way I wore it was the same.
