Chapter 759 – [Parenting Expedition]

We left Mary’s hometown and headed for the city.

The branch of the Cathedral Inquisition, one of the main powers of the Celestial Church, is not located in a rural village like this. Even if Father Thomas made an accusation, there would be a window to deliver it.

In the meantime, we learned the common sense of this place from Mary.

First, from the Three Kingdoms, excluding the Holy Church.

“Carta, Amordo, Grivel. Including the three kingdoms and the Holy Church of the Holy Church, there are four countries on this continent.

“Where are we?”

“Kingdom of Carta. It’s a country in the west of the continent. Compared to other kingdoms, the national power is weak, and there are many mountains and forests.”

“It’s enough to get those things slowly and directly. But if there’s another continent, it’s better to say that we’re travelers from there.”

“Rather than that, I think it’s better to change your hair color first. If you go to the city, you have to get hair dye…”

“I don’t have to”

Shion and I quickly changed our hair color. Shion is blonde, and I am reddish brown.

“…As expected, they’re devils and witches. They didn’t use dye, but they changed their hair color lightly.”

“It’s better to think that way”

Shion is an application of body transformation, but since my body itself is a prosthetic body, I changed my hair color in a higher-level way.

My body changes at will according to my will. It may sound wasteful, but if you really want to, you can transform into a demon with horns and wings.

Assuming you don’t work hard for a while, dragons might be possible… No, to be honest, it’s meaningless unless you’re going to participate in the Halloween festival. Even if he transforms like that, he doesn’t become stronger than this figure.

“It would be fine if I pretended to be a foreigner, but… Let’s say you’re a local guide.”

“Come to think of it, the devil had a lot of spices. It would be perfect to say that he was a foreign traveler who came in as a shipwreck from a foreign country.”

“Not enough to sell in bulk, but at least enough to not have to worry about money.”

In the end, the spices in the bag with space expansion were enough for the two of us to travel. Compared to the amount that an individual has, it is so large that it seems excessive, but it is not enough to start a business in earnest.

By the way… There must be superpowers here too, what about that?

“Ah, you mean heavenly blessings?”

“Blessing?”

“Sometimes, it is said that there are people who are blessed by the heavenly gods. When they are born with the blessing, they are born with the strength of 10 normal people. Besides that, they can acquire various unique abilities.”

“Anything else besides that?”

“I heard that the high-ranking priests of the Holy Church have the power to heal and strengthen others. The church in our village is small, so no priests like that are dispatched, but if you go to a big city, you will have it.”

“There’s a high probability that most of the Knights Templar are people who have been blessed like that.”

“Yes, that’s why, except for the Silver Witch, no other witch has ever escaped their hands. There may not be only one witch in the world, but if there is one, it is one that has not yet been discovered, or the execution date. It’s like a witch who accepted it.”

“Witches are witches, but are there real witches?”

“Huh? Then, is that a fake witch over there?”

“I think it’s something different”

“Hmm…I haven’t seen it myself, but Father Thomas said he’s. It’s probably real.”

That said, the blessing and the witch’s power are two different abilities. Well, you can meet either way and judge.

Travel for several days along the way. Perhaps the pursuer didn’t come, but of course there were no witnesses there, and the only thing suspicious was Mary, who would normally be suspected of being a witch, thinking she was hiding in the forest.

And we were able to reach a fairly large city. In front of the city are wheat fields shining gold, swaying in the wind, and beyond them a wall of stone is built.

“Once we get into the city, let’s get some rides. It’s taking too long to go on foot.”

“But it must be a problem starting from entering the city. As a foreigner, the inspection will be severe.

“You want something to grease?”

“I think half a handful of pepper will suffice.”

When I took the peppers out of the bag, Mary took care of portioning them. Since the value of the spices here is high, it will serve the purpose of the bribe well enough.

When we arrived at the gate, there were many people waiting to enter. People with carts, people with loads of things on their backs, and people of all kinds stand out.

It was morning when we arrived, but the line was long, so it was close to lunchtime when it was our turn. Maybe it would be better to eat rice first when you go in.

“Next!!!!”

When the guard shouted, we went out to be inspected. Shion wears a hood, but I take it off to show that I am a harmless traveler.

To be honest, Shion only changed her hair color, so she’s just an ordinary blonde girl now. If she gets caught, she becomes a nuisance too.

“What, are you a foreigner? What is the purpose of your visit?”

“Oops, you’re working hard. I’ll be better.”

Then, Mary stepped forward and, bending over, started the conversation instead. Once she did her thing, I stepped back and watched it in order to see her act.

“Little boy, are you in your company?”

“These are the people I’m guiding. They were travelers from another continent, and they said they were shipwrecked and drifted to our kingdom.”

“Anyway, it means that you are a foreigner.

“Because they are foreigners, they understand us and can speak a little, but they are not very good at it. You will probably be wasting your time after examining and asking questions.”

“But this is our job. Of course we have to do it.”

The guard’s words seemed to see a soldier faithful to his duty, but his eyes were greedy. In the end, the meaning of the word was only a signal to grease.

In response, Mary took out the pepper she had previously subdivided from her bosom and handed it to him.

“Hmm? It’s not a copper coin or a silver coin. What is this?”

“It’s pepper, better.”

“What?!?!”

“These are people who came from abroad to do business, so they have quality spices. The reason why they enter the city now is to sell spices.”

“Umm…!!!”

The guard checked the contents by sniffing the pungent smell of pepper, which he could feel through his pockets.

At the same price as the same weight in gold, half a handful of peppers was worth a gold coin. I wonder if he gave me too much for oiling, but Mary didn’t ask for pepper just for that.

“It doesn’t seem like you’re sick, and it would be nice to show the mercy of a heavenly god to foreigners. It’s okay to pass.”

“Oops, thank you guards. By the way, can you tell me a good place to take these people? I’m new to this city.”

“If that’s the case, go all the way to the main road and find the Golden Branch Inn near the lord’s castle. It’s a place where wealthy merchants and nobles who visit the castle stay, so if you don’t worry about money, that’s the best place.”

“Ah! Thank you for letting me know. And one more thing… Can you recommend a place that sells spices? I’d prefer a place that sells them at a higher price.”

“If that’s the case, the lord is the best. Especially since you’re preparing for a banquet with a special guest coming this time, you’ll be able to sell it at a high price. If you’re going to visit, Max, the senior sergeant, will let you into the castle.”

“Thank you!!! You will be blessed, be better!!!”

Soon we were able to enter the castle.

As soon as she entered the castle, Mary straightened her back and stood up, like Clark Kent becoming Superman.

“Well, did you pay for half a handful of pepper?”

“Your way of living is great. I won’t starve to death anywhere.”

“So she survived her mother being taken away”

A place to stay in the city, a supplier that sells spices at the highest possible price, and even borrowing the name of the public power that maintains the city’s security. The harvest from half a handful of peppers is pretty good.

Of course, up to that point, it could be just that, but during the harvest she gained, if she did well, she could make a connection with a powerful person called the lord. It was a pretty good harvest as it was difficult to hit with money.

“Are you expecting this?”

“Honestly, half and half. There are many merchants among those who enter quickly while waiting. If they smell money well, they will try to buy spices and things expensive, so I thought it would be nice to make a relationship with such a person.”

“He’s really smart.”

“I’m not really a kid who just goes to die”

So Mary was the kind of girl who would collapse society without me. Aside from being smart, being quick-witted is another matter.

We entered the city and entered the inn recommended by the guards.

Even so, a city where people gather needs a place for better people to stay. In that respect, the Golden Branch Inn seems like a pretty good place to stay.

Upon entering the counter, a man in a suit greets you. The facilities are a bit better than the simple 21st century luxury hotels. He was probably the second or third son of an aristocratic family.

“Welcome. Welcome to the Golden Branch Inn.”

“Yes, hello. A room for three people… Ah, um, so, master?”

“Why?”

“Can I make a reservation for two rooms and one?”

“Do what you want”

“Then, a double room and a single room please.”

“Yes, I understand. But how can I do the math for you?”

“Ah, that’s…”

Mary pulled out another portion of pepper and held out her pouch to him. The manager, who received it because he wanted something, knew that the contents were not money and opened the pocket to check.

“My master is a merchant from a foreign country. I don’t have the money here because I haven’t been able to sell the things I have yet, but if you don’t mind, I’d like to pay in kind.”

“It’s a very good quality pepper. A pepper like this is worth the same weight in gold… No, twice that.”

“I plan to stay for a few days, but please charge the excess amount later. I have to sell my spices to raise money…”

“If you’re willing to pay for spices, I can promise you better service”

“Umm…… How about it, Master?”

After all, pepper is everywhere. When I nodded, Mary agreed with the manager’s opinion.

“Then please do so”

“Yes, thank you. Spices are hard to come by these days… We promise to treat you the best at our inn.”

To be honest, I had to spend a few gold coins to stay at such a luxurious inn. But the value of spices fluctuates, not just the value of gold coins.

In other words, if you use it in a good place, you can sell it at a better price than the market price. After all, gold coins exist even if given, but spices are luxury goods and symbols that disappear when eaten.

Anyway, we were able to take a breath after entering the room at the inn. Mary, unlike her previous life style, looked around him and looked at the facilities of the relatively luxurious inn.

“Ohhh, there’s a bell too. Ring it and the maid will come and take her order.”

“There is no refrigerator.”

“Refrigerator?”

“It’s a tool that cools drinks and food. Well, it’s only natural that superpowers aren’t fully developed yet.”

Well, it seems to be similar to the place where I was a prince in terms of age, but it’s the Middle Ages, which is close to modern times. There was no sign of him developing this ability in earnest.

No, England right before the Industrial Revolution is not the same as England in the days of King Arthur. Of course, the King Arthur legend is usually a phrase.

“Let’s try some light wine first.”

I also had common sense in this era. To be honest, the water in this era is being polluted, so it’s better to drink low-alcoholic alcohol.

We rang her bell and called her maid to order her wine. It wasn’t for getting drunk, so I asked for a relatively low-alcoholic wine, but it turned out to be quite sweet and juice-like.

It seems that there are not one or two such orders, but a separate wine like this. Even though the skill level was low, the effort was sufficient, so Shion and I were able to drink while enjoying it.

“But can I give the kids a drink?”

“Normally, I wouldn’t drink either… It’s better to drink low-alcohol alcohol than to drink water that’s bad for the body.”

“Oh, the wine is delicious”

“Yes, yes, drink a lot”

As a reincarnated person, I usually act loosely, but when it comes to children, there is a clear cut line. One of them is to forbid drinking and sexual intercourse until adulthood.

Those two were very burdensome for a minor body to do. At least I would understand it if my body had grown and was closer to an adult, but it’s not normal.

But now, the wine was cleaner than the well water. So, you can drink at least a little bit.

“For that matter, it’s not once or twice that you’ve had sex with underage kids.”

“Uhhhhh”

“……Devil. Do you need my body?”

“You don’t need it?!”

Mary shouted in extreme disapproval of the answer she asked. No!!!! No matter how much I listened to this, do you think I’m going to have fun with the underage kids in Madangae?!!!!

To be honest, there are a lot of things that prick my conscience… Anyway.

“Let’s go sell spices for now”

“That would be better. Ah… Come to think of it, I still don’t know the devil-sama’s name. I didn’t even try to ask.”

“My name is Worst. I don’t care what the name is, so call me roughly.”

“Okay then, Master.”

Hmmm… To be honest, a man, no matter how big or small, would have a romance with the title master.

No, a woman in a maid’s uniform says it, but you can’t treat it normally. To be honest, I felt like if Shion called me master, I would run at it with full erection to the point of being full of spirits.

It’s a feeling of sexual excitement soaring because of the reversal of the master-servant reversal… I wonder if the size of it is about a handful in response to my unconsciousness.

“Are you ready for the maid outfit?”

“That’s fine. Traditional ones are good, but there are a lot of exposure ones.”

“I’ll prepare a maid outfit with a mini skirt that just shows off my legs later.”

“Wow!!!!”

“Instead, I’ll bring an android and come to the maid army.”

“……………Uh?”

“Be prepared”

Just as Korma uses an alter ego, Shion can bring an android synchronized with him.

In some ways, there are times when this side is more vicious. The main body has to give commands to the alter ego, but the android will repeat the action on its own if you give it a command.

“Aaaaagh! I’m sorry! I’m really sorry!!!!”

“I’m sorry. All you have to do is give your genes.”

“Aaaaa!!!!”

Mary, who was watching it in full swing, murmured as she ran her fingers through her philtrum.

Haha, that’s shit”

“Dog God!!!! You!!!! I won’t forget!!!!”

Behind Mary’s back, a god she’d seen occasionally passed by.

You!!!! You can’t use it if you come down to a child because it looks fun!!!!
