「Uwah, it’s huge……」
As I reflexively said while looking up town’s walls, the girls look at me with a pleasant smile. I finally reached the Kingdom’s east most town, Motsi. What was waiting for us there was a really tall rampart with a really large gate that even dragons or giants could probably fit through.
The stone rampart and the old gate with rust here and there seems to speak of the town’s profound history, while it’s firmness show that it’s still going strong even now.
「Motsi is a town that existed even before the Kingdom and the Empire joined together, and in the several wars it’s been through, not even once did it fall. In those days, they say it was called the Impregnable Motsi, it seems.」
While dazedly staring at the walls with my mouth open, Grimhart explained to me. Rather, they’re on good terms now but looks like they were at war in the past, huh. Well, even Japan’s on good terms with the others beyond the sea now, but there were some wars happening too, right? It’s probably just like that.
「Well, there were those times too, but since now they’re on good terms, these large gates are now left open. Though in exchange, inside it are smaller gates installed making it look quite bizarre.」
As Mozes-shi said, the iron gates are certainly left open. And if you look closely, you can see that inside the wide open entrance, there’s a wall with three gates on it. Well, does look a bit bizarre. Won’t it be better to just close gate properly? I thought so, but it’s probably a bit insensitive to point that out, right?
「By the way, the gates from right to left would be the ones for the adventurer and civilian’s use, the one for the noble and the foreign guest of honor’s use, and the one for us merchants to use. Grimhart and the others are adventurers, but since this time they’re entering as the Breut Company’s escorts, they’ll be using the leftmost gate. However, Lily-san’s……」
「Not affiliated with either guilds, nor do I have the Kingdom’s Certificate of Residency. Which means that I can’t enter inside, right?」
「I’m sorry to say this, but that’s how it is. Ah, but don’t worry. Matt.」
「Yes, master.」
Mozes-shi called out to the employee Matt. Matt respectfully took one step forward, faced me, and bowed. What’s going on? As I tilt my head confused, Mozes-shi explains to me the situation.
「Matt will accompany you. I’m not trying to boast but, my Breut Company has quite the influence in this town. They can’t treat you wrongly, you know?」
「I’m thankful for that, but……」
「Haha, don’t think too much of it Lily-san. If you stay in Motsi town, then in the future it would be beneficial for us. Considering that, this is just an investment for the future.」
So in other words, he’s calling dibs on me, huh. Well, it’s true that after all that I received, I’ll need to pay him back somehow. And with my cheat-level ability, I can even pay him back with something big. Very well, then let me thankfully accept this so called investment of yours.
「I understand. Honestly, that really helps.」
「It’s nothing much. Well then Lily-san, let us meet again later. Matt, I’m counting on you.」
「Yes, master. Understood.」
「Well then. Lily-chan, see you later. I’ll guide you to the guild.」
「I’m thankful for that but, no hugging m’kay, Arisa?」
「Ugh…」
「I’ll be making sure of that.」
「Thanks, Grimhart.」
And after going our separate ways, Matt and I head for the rightmost gate. I’m really lucky to have come across these good people. If I find the chance, I’ll make sure to return the favor.
◆◇◆◇◆
「Hmm, if it’s by Breut Company’s recommendation then there’s no problem, I guess. Do you have money for the provisional registration? Un, that’s perfect. Well then, here’s your Simple Certificate of Residency. When you leave town it’ll turn invalid. so while you’re here, make sure to either register to a guild or have a proper Certificate of Residency made, okay?」
Today, for the second time, my jaw dropped open in shock. It’s not because the certificate’s processing was surprisingly fast. But because the soldier, he’s a soldier right?, before me was a bear.
Arriving at the rightmost gate, we immediately joined the line and waited for our turn. When our turn came, Matt-san told the gatekeeper something and we were immediately lead to a separate room, where the we were filled in some documents. By the way, I can write in this world’s language. Before I died, I couldn’t even write decent English, but this is probably the angel or Butagami‘s doing, I think. Since I can also speak the language too.
And then, what came out next was a large armored bear. No, seriously. His fur’s black, but it would be probably fine to imagine a certain honey loving bear that, instead of wearing a T-shirt, is wearing armor. Un, it more or less that.
「Nn? Is there a problem, Lily-san?」
「Ah, no… Umm…」
「Ahh, is it your first time meeting a Moon Bear kin? It’s all right, they are very much proper demi-humans. Same as us, they are fellow comrades holding proper intellect and reason.」
Yup, this bear seems like he’s a demi-human called a Moon Bear kin. Considering that he’s a demi-human, I feel like there too much bear in him but, he is waking on two legs and he goes understand human speech. He did fill the needed entries in the documents with the quill pen I passed to him and if I’m forced to say, he probably has bad eyesight since he took out a monocle and is wearing it. Are you serious!? That’s amazing, world!!
「Haha, well, there’s only there of us Moon Bear kin here in Motsi, after all. It’s pretty normal to be surprised.」
「Are your people rare?」
「That’s right. We have a settlement on the northern part of the Kingdom, but people seldom leave from there. you see. We may look like this but, most of us are pretty friendly, you know. So if you see any, don’t be afraid. Just try taking to them.」
Even if you say that, if you take your armor off I can’t tell you apart from a normal bear, you know? No, maybe it’s just that all those five to six meter tall bears are this world’s normal bears and all two meter tall bears are Moon Bear kin?
At any rate, it’s the first non-human race ever since I came to this world. Meeting a bear-man before I ever see cat-eared girls and elves is pretty unexpected, but I’m getting really excited now!
Heya! For now, can we just bury the goblins in their graves? No more goblin discrimination please? Also, the level up kind of system isn’t exclusive to humans. That’s why goblin leaders or Kings exist. They can also use magic if they’re know how to, hence the danger of a leader or a King. The danger with the leader is that they lived long enough to learn cooperation and magic. It’s not like dumb people can’t learn after all. So you can think of the 1000 goblin army as a fearless(too dumb to fear death) magic using army with all of the goblins having cooperation and all of them at the level of a leader lead by a King. So depending on the size of the country, they could destroy it. The threat comes mostly from the leader and Kings, since they’re the reason the goblins can start acting irregularly. Also, the strength of a non-mage is basically of a soldier, so if it’s a purely human country with not that many mages, then they’re basically fucked.
Anyways, stop deciding that goblins because they’re goblins. If the author called them Dragoblins, then everyone would probably think that they could be strong, but no~ Goblins need to be weak or else it wouldn’t work. It would, if you give them a chance.
