Royal Capital Sentoria
On the fourth day in the afternoon, we reached the Royal Capital
Nevertheless, the Royal Capital is splendid as expected.
The huge fortified city is being surrounded by castle walls as far as I can see.
Those people staying out of city walls seem to be those who work primarily in the agricultural sectors or the primary sectors.
But, it resembles the towns I have visited.
By the way, it is possible to travel to all the way outskirts of the castle walls for free. However, if you wish to pass through the castle walls, it is a must to pay the passage fee.
It seems to be under the pretence of the castle walls’ maintenance.
I better make sure not to lose this, little by little our expenses are….
「Ojou-sama. This is the Aluceid kingdom royal capital. Sentoria」
「Ehh?」
As usual, Where am I?
As expected,the origin of the name comes from a special product.
The streets were filled with the largest crowds i have ever seen in this world
Even so, as I thought, building made of wood makes up the majority of the buildings though.
But, the street is laid firmly with rocks.
「Alicee, Choose that lodgings over there. I will go and sell the horses and the carriages.」
Til pointed to the lodging signboard as she speaks.
「Eh!? You are selling them?」
「I… I see.」
I unintentionally look at the horses.
It’s round eyes seems really cute.
「I see. The next owner will also love you too.」
I caress the two horses whom I have made friends with.
*munch munch* as the horses stuff their cheeks.
「You seem really lively. Tarou, Jirou」
「I just gave them.」
TL: this is a very polite sentence from IIya.
Although it is regretful, I took only the necessary luggage from the carriage and sold the rest.
「Don’t you worry.I will not mistake the selling place.」
Til smiled bitterly at the worried-looking me as she answered.
「Yes……」
I am really okay, I guess?
So after that, I immediately chose the lodgings and brought the luggages into the room.
The lodging expenses is 200 rook per person.
The segregation of the rooms is me and Saira.
IIya and Til.
By the way, how’s everyone relationship going?
When we were resting in our room respectively, I suddenly became concerned.
「Say, Saira? How do you find Til?」
「Oshishou-sama?」
Oshishou-sama?
Since IIya calls her that, it become like that huh.
「She is an elf. Although this is my first time seeing, I am really thankful for it.」
Saira whose eyes were sparkling answered lively.
I see. It seems like there are no problem at all.
「So, what about IIya?」
TL note: IIya stab through the gaps of the guy’s fingers in the bar when he tried to pick Alice up.
「Cutlery?」
Did such a thing happen?
「Terrifying?」
「It’s.. It’s different. Really different! I find that she is a great person. However, I find it difficult to approach her. She is just too perfect.」
IIya, hard to approach huh..?
Certainly, she has the feeling of a flawless beauty, however…
「Fumu. Certainly, that girl has her malicious moments. Therefore she probably needs some scolding..」
「EHH!?」
What’s the meaning of this malicious intents primarily targeted at me.
「Eto.. Uhmm. Alice-san.. I… love you nya.」
「……」
Hu… Huh?
It seems like I am being confessed by a girl….(ED: beginnings of a Yuri harem?)
「I.. I see. Thank you. I am really happy. 」
However, when I was cooling off my head a little from the girl-to-girl relationship. But to say that you hold some feelings of attraction to me.
「Em.. Embarrassing nya. 」
「Although there is nothing to be shy about.」
I caress her head and her neko ears.
After I enjoyed that feeling for a while, I finally released Saira.
I guess I played with her too much.
Even though buying a house is unreasonable, i must lease a house for lodging fees are expensive.
It seems like I have spent almost 3 gold coins.
However, we have become a large family so just like that 1 gold coin seems to vanish.
Circumstances have been fairly tough.
Of course, luxury goods are unjustifiable.
Let’s go and save it up in the guild.
Otherwise…
「Tournament……」
If I were to win, I will gain a sizeable sum of money.
During that period, I must gather information.
Firstly… the guild??
「Saira, I will be stepping out for a bit. Saira can also move around freely till evening. 」
Okay!
「Are you carrying money?」
「I see, let’s meet up at this room in the evening. 」
「Please take care! Alice-san」
I lightly wave back at her and left the room
After being with me for a while, Ilya is also tired and wishes to stretch out in the bed.
As I knocked on the next door, Ilya immediately came out.
「Ojou-sama , where are you going? 」
「If that’s the case, I will also be with Ojou-sama. Is there anything you don’t understand?」
N..No.
No less than than Onee-chan’s excessive care?
One thing or another, as Shion-san let me go out to the street alone.
「It’s okay! I am also Til’s disciple. I will not be defeated easily. 」
「It’s about that!?」
「It seems like you are preaching to a kid!?」
My self awareness of being a female huh…
If my feminine side grows, my masculine side weakens. Therefore my spirit seems to be collapsing.
「At any rate, I am moving alone today. Is that okay, Ilya?」
「*Kusu*, yes my lady」
TL: *short laugh*
I guess she was alerted and quickly concedes to my request.
「… Is Ilya going anywhere? I will pass you some money in advance.」
「I see. I guess I wish to check out the current situation of the royal capital. On the way here, there are some troubling reports. 」
About war huh..
If Ilya checks for me, it will be a great help.
「As I don’t have any loose change, I will pass u a gold coin in advance.」
「Ojou-sama trusts me too much that it’s dangerous.」
Ilya smiles bitterly at me as she took the coin.
「……Ojou-sama, sometimes you say things that made me startled」
I reflexively reach out my hands towards the slightly blushing Ilya’s beautiful face
I cupped her glossy cheeks with my outstretched hands.
「……If you betray me, I will punish you, you know? 」*love*
「Baka」
Although it’s regretful, she replaced me and left the house.
After that small incident, the atmosphere seems to become weird.
―――― and the incident escalated quickly after I left the left the room moving towards the guild
Ahhh, Ilya is going to be mad….
「Hora!! Please hurry! THE THIEF IS ESCAPING!」
「Ehhh.. Okay.」
Why is it that even though I was not requested, I still chase the thief.
Her hair done in a bun to the side.
This development is indescribable.. but for now.
「Hey. i am Alice. May I know you name?」
….Suspicious.
「Francesca sama? Nice to meet you.」
「It’s okay to address me normally, Alice. Well, please take care of me」
As it is, I can’t understand the situation at all. In order to chase the thief, we ran through the back alleys of the royal capital.
At that time, curiously I felt that it is not a smart move…
