Chapter 3: 3

8-3 . Downtown Disturbance

 

Satou's here . The only field trip I had ever done in Japan was to a beer factory where I could try some freshly made samples . I wonder why was the beer I drank in that factory so delicious .

Here, here, the little girl inside the painting is beckoning .

As if led by that gesture, my hand approaches .

The painting where she is in has a lone door drawn on a field, it's a mysterious oil painting . The girl opens that door and enters, then she beckons from beyond that door .

I stretch my hand toward the frame of that painting--

"Morning~?""Nano desu!"

Something made a little impact on my stomach along with cheerful voices .

When I slightly open my eyes, there are Pochi and Tama who have dived beside my stomach . The impact on my stomach seem to be from their arms that have ridden on it .

What a strange dream .

Last night, since I've got myself a book that can help decipher the explanation on magic tools, I've sorted the magic tools until dawn, I wonder that's the reason I see that dream?

"Good Morning . "

I greet the two and pat their heads while messing with it a bit . Maybe it's a bit too rough, the two hold my palms with both their hands and feet, and escape . I pretend to feel painful since they're play-biting .

"Mwuu . "

Mia who's lying down rustles my head . Does she want to be cared, or is this a revenge for waking her up, it's a vague line .

Even though we're this noisy, Arisa is still sleeping beside me with anguished face . I wonder what kind of dream she's having .

Nana has come to tell us that the breakfast is ready, I wake Arisa up and go toward the dining room . It seems she's still sleepy, Arisa acts spoiled and says, "Carry me", so I take her on my shoulder to the dining room . Since Pochi and Tama are looking so enviously, I decide to carry the two on my shoulders after this .

"Chevalier-sama, about the schedules for visiting the workshops--"

Yesterday, on the way to the duke's castle, I hear from Shelna-san that visiting workshops aren't something that can be done immediately, I have to make prior appointments beforehand . Therefore, Shelna-san has got the reservations for us .

Excluding the visit to the scroll workshop of viscount Shimen, Toruma's parent house, that'll be in 10 days, we can visit other workshops in 2-5 days time . The visit to the scroll workshop is so late because we have to wait for viscount Shimen to return from the royal capital first .

"Well then, is it alright for Chevalier-sama and Karina-sama to attend the dinner tonight?"

"Of course, it's alright desuwa . "

Lady Karina answered Shelna-san's question faster than me .

The dinner she's talking about is about the invitation from the previous earl Walgock couple . Moreover, I've also been invited to a party organized by the duke three days later . I feel like some kind of disturbances will happen, am I just being paranoid I wonder?

I'm fine with Nana as my partner for the dinner, but since she's less accustomed on the etiquette than lady Karina--there are also some pushes from lady Karina's maids--it's become lady Karina instead . I'm more comfortable with taking Lulu, but since Lulu doesn't look like she has resistance for those kind of things, I abandon the thought .

"Are you really not going to participate in the martial art tournament? If a noble appear in the second qualifier of the tournament, his social status will get considerably high . . . "

"I have no such intention . "

"I understand . The arena for the tournament is in the town, and we've reserved a private room for noble visitor that Chevalier-sama can use anytime during the second qualifier . However, unfortunately, we aren't able to secure the private room for the main match, so we've reserved the seats in the shared room for nobles . "

It seems it's fine to be be noisy in the private room, but it's NG to have the slaves and demi-humans make noise in the shared room . It'd be impossible for Pochi and Tama to not make noise when they see the tournament, so I'll go watch the main match alone in secret . Looks like the second qualifier will be held in five days .

By borrowing two four-seater carriages, I go to the downtown together with everyone . Of course, I leave lady Karina behind .

We get off in the parking lot before the great wall, and walk from there .

"So many . "

"That's right, due to the opening of the big tournament, this has become the melting pot of races . "

"Melting pot~?"

"Is it delicious?"

"Ufufu, Pochi-chan is a glutton-san . "



There are also a lot of people in the main street of the noble district, but it's jam packed in the downtown . There's a strange heat like you normally see in the Southeast Asia marketplace . Seemingly stirred by that, everyone is in high spirit more than usual .

First, let's buy thin clothes in the second-hand clothes store . Everyone beside Lulu and me is wearing an overcoat, it looks to be hot just seeing them . Liza reaches for a full metal armor . I tell her that lighter equipment is better, but since she insists, "It's the full dress of a guard", so I buy it as it is .

"Nice smell nano desu . "

"Mumumu, this is! It's the smell of burnt soy sauce . This is, squid teriyaki, private Pochi, private Tama . Let's secure the urgent suspects at once~ . "

"Secure~ . "

"Aye, nano desu . "

It does smell nice . Arisa leads Tama and Pochi running to the stall . Mia is tempted to run with the three, but she probably wouldn't be able to eat it . Liza and Lulu follow the children behind them while walking .

"Master, it's a state of emergency . "

Nana murmurs so while taking my arm and leads me to the different direction than everyone's . I tell Lulu who has noticed us, "I'll come back soon" . I have the map so I could join them back immediately .

There are ratmen children at the place where Nana pressingly pulls me . No wait, it seems to be different, their skins are glossy and their necks inverts when they're walking . According to the AR indication, they're Sea Lion kin .

"I cannot calculate the movement of that young organism . Even though it's not efficient, I cannot take my eyes off them . "

It seems Nana has wanted to see these children . Certainly, one could say that their way of walking is cute . After she's admired them for some time, I'll take her back to everyone . My arm is happy, but it'll be bad if we leave everyone too long and make them worry .

The moment of happiness suddenly ends .

The instant Nana sees a big tigerkin man kicks the sea lionkin child, her atmosphere changed . Nana releases my arm, and jumps over the crowd of people and cut between the children and the big man .

It seems she's used body strengthening nature magic, but her activation time has become quite a bit faster . Wonder if it's because of her training with Liza and the others every day .

"What? A human huh? Get away woman . "

"I refuse . I inform that excessive violence against young organism is dangerous, and is prohibited . "

The big tigerkin man flaunts his arm--



"You bastard, when did you appear?"

I catch and stop his arm before he could swing it .

The big man scowls with sharp glint on his eyes at me who's caught his arm from behind .

From what I saw, the sea lionkin child who didn't see where he was going hit the big tigerkin man, and the cause of this quarrel was because the man's trousers got stained .

Although, the man's trousers are already dirty enough you can't even tell if it has been stained further .

"You must not use violence . "

"Is that so . "

The big man kicks me while answering . I jump to avoid it and land before the man . Of course, I'm still holding his arm .

Making use of abduction skill, I pin the big man down .

Right at that time, someone's great sword is swinging toward me .

"Master, it's a reinforcement . "

Due to space grasp and crisis perception skills, I've noticed it even if I don't hear Nana's warning, so I ward off the great sword with the fairy sword on my waist while still pining the big man down .

"Hou? You've eluded the sword of this great me while pining Geri huh . "

A pure white tigerkin man appears from the darkness of the alley .   However, swinging sword in the downtown like this, he's not sane huh . I've done it myself, but this is an act of self-defense, so please overlook it .

The spectators around us are clamoring . It seems this guy is a participant of the second qualifier .

"You'd be wasting your turn in the second qualifier if you cause bloodshed in the town you know?"

"Fuhn, you're showing composure after receiving surprise attack in the downtown . You're also a participant of the second qualifier huh . Come to the final, we'll settle it there . "

I feel like it'd be complicated if I answer, "I'm not" here . I'll reply it vaguely to lead him .

"I'm looking forward to it . Please do your best to win through it . "



"Fuhn, your show is only for now . "

I release the man that I've pinned down and step back once . I want them to leave while they're still misunderstanding . I don't want to attract more attention in this kind of place .

I show my composure while the white man takes the big man until they're gone .

The spectators seem to be dissatisfied for the non-fight, but I don't care .

"Master, master! The young organism is vomiting out fluid from his mouth . I appeal for the emergency treatment . "

Since Nana appeals monotonously behind, I take out a magic potion from my pocket and make the sea lionkin child drinks it . He seems to have recovered immediately, I'm relieved . Shouts of joy break out from the spectators somehow .

The sea lionkin is really popular huh . Nana must be attracted .

That popular person keeps licking the bottle even after it's been emptied . It's probably because I've put sweet flavor in the magic potion .

Nana holds the sea lion children up on her hands .

"Master, requesting to make these children become ours . "

"No . "

"Master, please reconsider . "

"Rejected . "

It's unusual for Nana to get depressed, but I can't compromise here .

When the sounds of some kind of bell is resounding, the children becomes flustered on Nana's arms, I instruct Nana to release them . She hesitates for a bit, but then she resigns herself and release them .

Somehow the children are going toward where Arisa and the others are, so we follow them along . It is not because Nana is leading me by hands, not at all . I'd like us to link arms if possible, but since Arisa and Mia would protest if they see it, it's fine like this .

There's an unexpected person at the destination of the children .
