After all I’m drinking Ale in front of a noble like normal. When you talk about manners, it should be more of that kneeling on one knee and stuff like that.
While looking at the stiffened Miss Francesca, I wondered about what I should do.
It has been like this all the time after completing the subjugation of those Orcs.
I am supposed to be just a normal adventurer. And it would look weird if the hero of this village stayed so humble towards me like that.
And I also want myself to be treated as a normal adventurer.
I doubt it’d be that easy though.
Well, I have somewhat gotten used to such things after being summoned as a God Slayer to this world.
I didn’t want to get used to it but, everyone around me started bowing their heads around me. Living like that for 2 years straight, one would get used to it even if it’s irritating.
It really was uncomfortable to see a 40 year old knight commander bowing respectfully to a 15 year old boy.
Even the boy himself was flustered about what to do. (T/N: note that he’s not talking about himself here.)
“Well, with this my contract with Miss Francesca is also over. I am praying for you to successfully pass your test.”(renji)
Thanks to the reward I received from Miss Francesca and this Orc subjugation, my wallet is warm.
I wonder where should I go next.
There’s Utano-san and Kuuki-kun in the royal capital. Also Toudou.
Able to use all kinds of magic and also fast in thinking. The [Sage], Utano Yuuko, on whom everyone depended during our journey. She’s also the same age as me.
Kuuki Yuta, who is currently enrolled in the knights squadron if I recall correctly. He should be 20 this year I think.
And, the cook Toudou Hiiragi who has apparently opened up a restaurant in the royal capital. He’s 2 years younger than me at 26.
Everyone else is also at other big cities I think. I’m not sure of their exact locations though.
If I have to talk about the Demon God, then, let’s go to Toudou.
In his restaurant, we can talk while eating his delicious meals which I haven’t eaten in a long time.
That might be good. My wallet’s in good condition right now as well.
“………”
While I was thinking that, Miss Francesca was looking at me with a troubled smile.
“Wanna sit?”(renji)
“Then excuse me.”(fran)
Even though there’s such a beauty in front of me, it’s rude of me to be thinking of other things I guess.
Since she seemed to be holding a fruit juice in her cup, a smell completely different from Ale came to my nose.
Wait, she didn’t drink alcohol at all?
“What will you be doing from here onwards?”(Fran)
“nn?”
While I was regretting the fact that I didn’t take her to a bar even once, she asked me that.
By here onwards, she means after parting with her?
Even if drunk, I can still understand that much.
“I’m thinking of going to the royal capital. That or………maybe take some other request in some village.”
Well, I have things to do but my destination isn’t set yet.
For the time being, I simply want to go eat Toudou’s cooking.
“Then, will you escort me till the Magic City?”(fran)
“No, won’t you be fine with a carriage? I won’t take a carriage you know? Too costly for me.”(renji)
“……I see….”
[Even she’s amazed.]
Shaddup.
Just because my wallet’s a bit filled right now doesn’t mean I can start spending on such luxuries.
My reward this time was 1 gold coin from Miss Francesca.
Also, 4 gold coins for the 13 Orcs. This will be divided between me and Miss Francesca equally.
(T/N: Reminder that in this world Silver>gold>copper.)
And also, almost every part of the Orc is eatable. Its intestines can be made into sausages and if sold to a merchant as dried meat or smoke meat, 1 Orc could get you 50 coppers, if prepared well, sometimes even 1 gold can be made.
And there were 13 of them. The villagers were super happy to have gotten such a stock. It could be sold for money and could also be used as preserved food for winters.
Thus, currently I had 3 gold coins in my wallet and also the change remaining from the 1 gold I had received as advance from Miss Francesca. I’ll be able to live a relaxed life for some time.
“Well, I doubt we’ll get any carriages here though.”
It seems this village doesn’t really interact with other villages.
It’s not that remote of a place so it must be because they don’t have any specialties here.
If they were a lake/sea, they’ll have fishes, the village I was in before had medicinal herbs and Alcohol. This village also has alcohol but they don’t have enough to be sold as a special product.
