My Reincarnation Skills Are “Playing With Dolls” and “Playing With Clay”, but What Am I Supposed to Do With These? C135

Episode 135 Imperial City Partepolis

It can be said that after leaving the city of Zanshanu, nothing of note happened. 

As always, the towns along the highway are lively, with the common people seemingly poor but some wealthy, and those who camp instead of staying in the town are usually attacked by monsters. 

That said, there were mainly goblins and a few orcs, and I didn't come across any big creatures like wyverns or stone golems, and I wasn't attacked by thieves either. 

I'm sure this has something to do with the fact that there are a large number of soldiers in every city, and they are also focusing on maintaining public order. 

On the other hand, you could say that there are so many monsters that even if you go that far, there will be no shortage of low-level monsters. 

That's why I think I did a good job as an escort. 

　

The state of the party now looks like this.

And in addition to being able to change Lina's costume to LV12 as a monk and LV4 as a scout, I also think that the warrior who has gained experience against goblins has also risen to LV7. 

　

Although it was a small party, I think it turned out to be quite a powerful party. 

Speaking of greed, there aren't many avant-garde types, so I'm using the clay golem Taro and letting Lina gain experience as a warrior. 

It is a mystery why "Growth Speed ​​2x", which was not visible in the status until now, suddenly started to be displayed, but according to Lina, it was like a hidden skill given by the Goddess. I say it's because I (I) have become more aware of it. ``Recognition fixes phenomena'' is something like quantum theory, but I don't really understand it right now. 

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

And, the long escort quest journey has finally come to an end. 

In the afternoon, on the seventh day of the first quarter of the fourth month, 31 days after we departed from Deva, the royal capital of Elzark, we traversed the cobblestone streets and finally reached the walls of Partepolis, the capital of the Parthea Empire, a great power in the east. I was seeing it. 

"Here you come!"

　Lina, who was in a sightseeing mood, peeked her head out of the leather bag and said with deep emotion. 

"Well, you really came all this way because you said you wanted to see the world."

The three wagons lined up at the checkpoint to pass through the walls of the imperial capital, but it took a long time because there were so many people, horses, and carriages lined up. 

"Master, the smell of moss growing on old stones, and the smell of a lot of people, oil and charcoal...and meat, the smell of grilled meat. I want to eat it."

``Master, it's a really big city, and it's interesting that the decorations and designs are different from those in the west country.''

Both Carmilla and Nolte seemed curious. 

"...It's definitely the capital of the empire. I've never seen a big city like this before."

Even Lucien, who was always calm, came to watch from the carriage behind him. 

Well, Lucien and Carmilla can tell what's going on behind them, so if it's just a little bit, it won't be a problem for security. 

Finally, our turn for inspection came, and we were checked one by one starting with Osmarf, who was sitting on the driver's stand of the first carriage. 

The guards are also used to it and are good at it. The person checking it out is a LV14 scout, and while looking at the cards, it seems that they are also identifying and comparing our status. 

A scout at this level should be able to see things like skills, so they must be checking it very closely. 

"Okay, next."

When the group was finally released, the merchants split into two groups. 

Heybar and Natasia's carriage heads to the inn recommended by Heybal. 

It's a long-established store that has been in business for four generations, and it seems to have a spacious wagon storage area where you can ask to take care of your cargo, so you can check in there and leave your wagon there. 

I put Lucien, Nolte, and Lina there. 

Osmarf lives in Partepolis, so he doesn't have to stay at an inn, and he uses a horse-drawn carriage to visit large stores and business partners that will accept the goods he has purchased.Since he is about to hand over the goods, Carmilla and I will escort him. did. 

After that, the merchants met again at the Merchant Guild in Partepolis. 

It seems that there are various procedures and unwritten rules for doing business in the capital of another country. Osmarf was there to report on his return and exchange information. 

After completing that and sending everyone back to the inn, we will have completed our mission. 

The oriental-style townscape and customs were all new and exciting. 

I've seen a lot of people from Parthea on the way up until now, but since it's the capital city, the diversity and vibrancy are extraordinary. 

According to Osmarf, Partepolis has a population of 800,000 people, making it one of the largest cities in the world. 

　

His business partner was a large arms store, and he unloaded 20 to 30% of his cargo there, but to his surprise, what he ended up doing next was a place that looked like a military base. 

In fact, it seems that they are directly delivering a large number of weapons to the supply depot of the Parthean army. 

"I'm not a big-time merchant. This is a secret."

Apparently, the information about the business partners is not revealed even to Haybar and the others. 

Of course, customer information is subject to confidentiality. 

"I understand."

With that, Osmarf, now feeling lighter, headed towards the guild in a wagon that had become just an empty carriage. 

The commercial guild was an old stone building, about five stories high, with a spire. 

Habar and the others were already waiting in front of the entrance, and we, the guards, had to wait outside while they went through their formalities, but it only took about 30 minutes. 

The merchants had cheerful expressions, so I guess there was no particular problem. 

Then, I sent Osmalf to the inn where Haybar and his friends were staying, and in the room, the three merchants signed the document to complete the mission, and I also received the reward and signed it in the presence of Lucien and Lina, making it official. It was completed in . 

Including the proceeds from the sale of weapons obtained from defeating thieves along the way, the rewards for exterminating wyverns, and other distributions, the total I obtained from this quest amounted to about 56 small gold coins, excluding the magic stones. . 

Of course, we had to pay for food and other expenses along the way, but even after deducting that, we ended up with about 110 small gold coins, which is about 10 million yen. It's an asset. 

And, best of all, no one was seriously injured and we were able to experience a trip to another world. 

After that, we took a room at a nearby inn where there were many adventurers, and then met up with the merchants again and had them treat us to dinner at a recommended restaurant that mainly served spicy stir-fries. 

We toasted with strong oriental spirits and talked about the undead, the Pirate King, and various other things over the course of our difficult journey. 

From shaking hands with Heybar and Osmarf to Natasia, who had a strange attitude when they first met,

"You guys were the best bodyguards I've ever asked for. We're planning to do business in Parthea for about 20 days before heading home. At that time, we'll submit an escort request to the adventurer's guild here. , If you're here at that time, I'd definitely ask you to come back."

He said something that made me happy. 

I promised Hout and Mikula that we would meet again, and by the time we headed to our inn, the city of Partepolis was dark, and the countless shops were illuminated by colorful lights.
