Chapter 593 (2/2)

(TLN Trivia (skip this if you’re not interested in these details as it is quite long XD): Mito Komon (Tokugawa Mitsukuni), was a Japanese Daimyo (feudal lord) that lived in the 17th century. During the latter half of the Edo period and the Meiji period, a kōdan (narrative tale) named “Mito Mitsukuni Man’yūki” fictionalized the travels of Tokugawa Mitsukuni. This tradition of dramatizing his life continued with a novel and, in 1951, the first television series to portray him as a wanderer, masquerading as a commoner, who castigated evil in every corner of the nation. The most memorable phrase of the series is 「この紋所が目に入らぬか!!」 (Kono mon dokoro ga me ni hairanuka!!) “Don’t you know whose family seal is this!?” while his escort shows up with the Tokugawa family’s emblem. Well, you should get the idea about the references already)

(Another Trivia: In the light novel Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku, the main protagonist quotes Mito Komon frequently)

Moreover, she gave us a valuable but frightening assurance that she would cover things up for us.

I have no intention of abusing it, but it was times like this that we needed to use that power.

「Hahaha. Now that you mentioned it, you’re on a mission for Weena Rhyn-sama, aren’t you? Let’s go with that strategy then」

「Nn」

We had planned to head to the Commercial Fleet by boat at first but decided to ride on Urushi instead. It was much faster that way.

If we didn’t get lost, that was.

This lake was the size of a small country. If we ever lost our direction, we could get lost. In fact, it was said that several ships a year fail to return because of it.

This time, however, the Commercial Fleet was relatively close to shore, and we had a guide to lead the way. Well, there was no need to worry about getting lost, since Lovren was familiar with the route.

「I see it」

「Haha! So fast! Amazing!」

「Woof woof!」

About three hours after we left Sheftent, we had managed to find the Commercial Fleet.

Lovren seemed to be in high spirits. He seemed to like the experience of riding the flying Urushi more than he thought he would.

His praises also put Urushi in a good mood.

「The ship is a little behind that one in the center. Can you go down there first?」

「Okay, Urushi」

「Woof!」

It was hard to tell from above, but it seems to be the ship of the Adventurer’s Guild. The Adventurers on deck were surprised to see Urushi descending from the sky.

Some of them even raised their weapons, but the commotion quickly died down when they saw Lovren on his back.

It was a good thing we had come down here. If it had been any other ship, we might have caused a commotion.

「Well, let’s head to the Mesther Merchant Association first」

From here, the Commercial Fleet was apparently much more organized than I had thought. The Commercial Fleet seemed to look like a mess of ships, but in fact, the specific placement of each ship was carefully regulated.

Therefore, it seemed that those who were familiar with it already knew where some things were.

「Which ship?」

「That one. The ship with the red flag」

It looked surprisingly close, but we had to take quite a detour to get there. Well, we had to move from ship to ship. Sometimes we crossed a simple suspension bridge that connected the ships and even had to move from ship to ship in a small boat.

「Can’t we just ride on Urushi?」

「We can’t. It would only cause a fuss here」

Well, it couldn’t be helped. The Commercial Fleet was just like a town after all. Flying over it on Urushi was just like running around the town on Urushi.
