BXBX NOVEL Chapter 93
For lunch, I had the high-quality freshwater fish that were caught from this large river and specially prepared for me.
Since the City of Nyuneri isn’t that far away from a large river either, there would usually be fish lined up on the dining table.
But as I thought, freshly caught and grilled fish that are specially tailored to my taste have a deliciousness that can’t be matched.
And because freshwater fish can’t be eaten as sashimi after all, they were all cooked properly.
It might not be a problem for this body of mine that is filled with magic power, but due to the impressions I have from my previous life, I had no desire to eat freshwater fish raw.
Even when I asked the fishermen about it, it didn’t seem like they had a culture of eating fish raw.
Tesh and Odie would have probably looked at me weird too so I didn’t ask for sashimi.
Since I didn’t have the time to eat fish this leisurely when I came to Nambonan City for war, it’s fun being in vacation mode this time.
There were many people gathered at the harbor, and there was even a simple marketplace set up.
When I took a small glance around, I saw all kinds of different creatures being sold. There were giant fishes that were as big as eels and tunas, eerie aquatic organisms that looked similar to ammonites, etc.
I am very curious about how you eat the ammonite looking thingies. I don’t think the City of Nyuneri has food like that.
As I walked around, the people casually moved away and avoided me.
It appears there are very few people who want to have anything to do with a noble who is surrounded by tough-looking guards.
「Mm?」
There was a crowd in a corner of the marketplace.
When I looked in the direction of that group of people, I immediately understood what was happening there.
I will try to quietly get closer without getting noticed.
「Stand up, grape stomping girl! With the voices of spirits guiding you, tens of thousands of troops await you, to that place you go!」
*Ooooh*, the surrounding audience cheered. It looks like the people didn’t really realize that I came near them.
Here, a man was telling a story while making hand and body gestures as onlookers surrounded him.
His narration was skilled; it was a story that smoothly entered my ears.
Since the continent of Elluo doesn’t have a high literacy rate, stories told from other people’s mouths are one of the valuable forms of entertainment that people have.
Adventurers and merchants who travel everywhere would remember the stories they hear in various regions, and then they would summarize the really interesting bits and retell those stories in faraway territories to make a little bit of money.
When the storyteller announced that the story was over, several coins flew out as his tips. The man counted those coins in satisfaction.
As the gathered crowd started to disperse, I was able to get a better look at his appearance. It looks like he’s a merchant who deals with manuscripts.
「Let me see that manuscript」
「Yes sir, please go ahead……」
When I approached him, the man got on his knees with a stiff expression on his face.
「Hm. ……I’ll take this, this, and this too. How much?」
Out of the manuscripts of famous scholars, I only chose the ones I don’t have yet.
There are times I lack entertainment as well, so when there’s a chance like this, I’ll gladly stock up on some literature.
After the man told me how much they cost while shaking, Tesh, who was on standby behind me, handed the money to him.
When I added an extra silver coin as a tip, the man’s voice cracked as he bowed down and thanked me.
「That was a pretty interesting story. Does that story have a name?」
「Y-yes. It’s called “Olshian”」
To just use the male protagonist’s name as the title…That’s not very creative…
The City of Nambonan was originally surrounded by fortified walls, but after they surrendered, almost all of the walls ended up being removed.
Their walls that were built with plenty of stones that repel magic(magic-servering stones) are now being reused as fortifications in the western part of our territory.
Because of that, the City of Nambonan had lost its walls and the city had become stark naked.
Since there are only small “fields” near the city, even if a mature magic beast comes out, it shouldn’t do much damage.
However, living in such an exposed city would indeed make the citizens feel uneasy.
We went past where the city gate was originally supposed to be and entered the city.
It was like this in all the other cities we passed through on the way here too, but it seems that the City of Nambonan was no exception to knowing about my magic beast subjugation either, as I was welcomed with loud cheers. It looks like the information has spread really far.
At any rate, due to the propaganda that paints me as a young noble who made a direct appeal to my father to protect Nambonan’s self-governance because I was moved by the citizen’s voices being spread everywhere behind the scenes, my popularity with the people here was high originally. So combined with my magic beast subjugation this time, my popularity has risen even further.
The people are probably feeling reassured as well about the fact that a noble who had defeated the magic beast had come to their currently unwalled city.
Even though the sun had already set, there were still some people who waited for me in front of the mayor’s residence to welcome my arrival with cheers.
That made me feel quite pleasant.
After I had a bath and a meal in the mayor’s residence, Rumon, the “boner popping older brother”, came to me while I was sipping on my tea.
There seems to be a complete set of detailed information about Nambonan city lying in the mayor’s office right now. He began talking about the important things on the spot.
The rumor of Rumon being highly capable in office processing work seems to be true; his oral explanations were easy to understand, and he can easily summarize the compiled wooden boards with just one quick look.
「Oh yeah, what happened to Kohali?」
「My little sister is already resting in her room today. I apologize for that」
「I see」
It was already pretty late at night when I was taking a bath and eating.
We have light here since Tesh, Odie and I were using illumination magic, but for normal citizens, they would already be asleep long ago.
Rumon, who lives and works at the mayor’s residence, would probably normally be sleeping at this time too, as he looks somewhat tired.
「Have you gotten a bit used to your current lifestyle?」
「Yes. I’m very grateful to you for that, mayor」
Like that, he began thanking me for the life he has now.
When Rumon’s home and money were robbed from him because of the war, he said that he was going to become a peddler, but now that he has calmed down, he told me he realized just how reckless that was.
「It was a naive idea」
Generally, people live their entire life in the city they are born in. Going into cities you don’t know without knowing anyone in those places is a terrifying thing for commoners of this era. Moreover, he has Kohali who is ignorant of the real world with him.
Sooner or later they would be in debt, and then this pair of siblings will probably either starve to death together or end up being sold.
Right now, he can live a stable life like this as a city employee.
「I’m happy that I can work for Nambonan’s sake」
Rumon seems to be someone who loves his city instead of his country. He seems to feel joy from taking part in the city’s management.
He’s not rich, but it looks like he has been spending his days happily with his beloved sister.
「Uh huh……」
I’m sorry for interrupting him while he’s talking about all kinds of things happily, but I want to ask if Kohali has gotten used to her current lifestyle.
I’m not all that interested at all in whether or not he’s happy.
「Is Kohali doing well?」
「……Yes」
It’s a shame, but it seems that she didn’t get pregnant.
Since I only had sex with her once, it can’t be helped.
「Whatever. The most important thing is that the beauty is doing well」
「Mayor……!」
「What?」
Rumon seemed like he wanted to say something to me, but he stayed silent when I shot him a slight glare.
Last time, I had fun with Kohali’s body in exchange for money and clothes.
This time, they already have money and clothes, so there’s no reason to offer me her body.
However, even with such reasoning, the problem comes down to my desire to play with her in the end.
He has gained a cool head after he started working here, so he knows that he cannot go against me since he fully understood my position.
「Kohali is already asleep, right?」
「Yes」
「Okay. You can go rest too」
As if he understood that I was not going to change my mind, Rumon left the room dejectedly.
He probably couldn’t stand knowing that his precious little sister will be r*ped, but there’s no way he can go against my authority.
After I finished another cup of tea, I called for Tesh.
He seems to understand me even without me telling him where I’m going to let out 6 days of lust.
「Should I bring her to your room, young master?」
It’s not a bad idea to wake Kohali up and get her to come to my bedroom either.
However, since I have an even better idea, I decided to ask him to just tell me where she is resting.
The nuisance named Rumon might be getting hard in his own room as he thinks about Kohali’s naked body.
Let me enjoy her raw body in the meantime.
My penis was sopping wet under the fabric of my pajamas.
