Chapter 33 (1/2)
CHAPTER 33 – A BRIEF HOLIDAY
“Hee, isn’t that an earth-shattering crowd of people?” (Wendelin)
“It’s because there are various stores both large and s street There are many different people from the capital, other domestic places, and the Holy Eoods” (Miriam)
The next day after Erich-nii-san’s uided by Erich-nii-san and Miria streets of the royal capital
As one would expect of the shopping streets in the capital representing an entire nation, they exceeded the scale by far in co
Coe was quite unnecessary
At any rate, there was not even one shop in the Baumeister territory
“I aishi+-san” (Wendelin)
“Don’t worry I will have a three-day vacation with my husband after this” (Miriam)
It seems that you usually receive a holiday of 2 ~ 3 days upon e in this world
Apparently it only took one day of the holiday to report to the church, thus the rest was reserved for the married couple to spend some quality time with each other as they wished after the hectic and exhausting preparations and execution of the e announcement party
Even so, going on a honeymoon was mostly for no one else other than nobles and wealthy merchants as it required one to have quite a surplus of money to spend
The lower-ranking nobles in the urban areas and the co a standard level life took a holiday of about three days, but they passed their ti within their local cities
In addition, those living in a rural area like our home didn’t take any days off at all
Our elder brothers, who had married, continued with their usual work the next day as well That was one of the differences between living in an urban area and living in the countryside
But it is also possible that it was just because our home was too poor for them to spend their time leisurely
“In reality there are various merchant’s houses”
“Oh well, Breitburg is a splendid city as well”
“Only that the population here is uess it can’t be helped though”
Since it was called the capital of the whole nation, Stadtburg was recognised as metropolis by everyone
As centre of the econoovernment, the majority of the nobles ned no lands had settled down here Fa
The act of placing their headquarters here served as status symbol for the merchants as well
Further was dotted witha population of 10’000 inhabitants You could truly say that it was a capital for an economic bloc
“Maa, it’s not like there are no shortcos either” (Erich)
“Shortcos?” (Wendelin)
According to Erich-nii-san the cost-of-living has beco there wasn’t such a crowd of people living here The water was disgusting and couldn’t be drunk without processing it And so forth
The shortcos of the royal capital were listed
“Also, there is the hindrance called the Palkenia Grasslands, which hinders any further develops” (Erich)
Going by the words of Erich-nii-san, the Palkenia Grasslands were the lastin the outskirts of the royal capital
An old mole called Grade Grande was the top in that area Up until now all atteroups of adventurers and the military ended in failure
“If it becomes possible to develop the Palkenia Grasslands, the capital will also become able to further expand” (Erich)
The possibility of developing a large-scale, grain-producing area and establishi+ng a road to the neighboring districts by dividing the Palkenia Grasslands into parts will have an immeasurable economic effect, Erich-nii-san explained
Even a petty official in a governmental office related to the financial affairs was able to easily recognise the importance
“But, ill defeat such troublesoon?” (Wendelin) (T/N: Yea! Who?!)
“In the end it’s nothing more than a hypothetical talk Now co” (Erich)
Like that Erich-nii-san put a close to the serious talk and we decided to devote ourselves to enjoying the shopping
“Erould this sword be fine?” (Wendelin)
“Since it uses a relatively fine steel, though you wouldn’t expect from its price I wonder if I should purchase this one… What do you think, Erich-san?” (Erwin)
“That one is a bargain” (Erich)
“You understand the quality of swords, Erich-nii-san?” (Wendelin)
“Just a bit of self-studying Huh? Wend, you also practiced with the sword, didn’t you?” (Erich)
“U the bow as I am better with that” (Wendelin)
“Uwaa~ that part is just like your brothers…” (Erich)
In et to practice the sword everyfor about an hour But no matter how I think about it, I don’t have any talent in wielding one after all
Instead I still had soic rewards one in proportion to the ti the sword these days at all
Which reminds me, I had received a shich can turn its blade into any attribute I was co it stored away as is
“Is there still roorowth in your maryoku1?” (Erich)
“Yes, I can feel it quite clearly everyday” (Wendelin)
I followed the words my master had lefted position everyday I didn’t le day of my practice to refine the mana within my body
“Since it has beco from me” (Erich)
“But, too flashy ic can’t be trained in the royal capital”
If this was Breitburg, I could have practiced flashy ic in the outskirts Since that was now impossible, I was only able to focus on the task of meditation to complete the circulation of mana in my room
Erwin’s group, who had to practice in the garden, were envious of this point
Because of that Erwin often caument 『It is the etiquette for nobles!』
Naturally, I tell hihim off like that
Me holding a sword or so those line, what’s the point in that?
“Alright! I got a neord!” (Erwin)
Eventually while shopping, Erwin procured his neord and I got a brand neell
Because of my tendency to use the bow more frequently, since I’m useless with a sword, it wasn’t a waste
Erich-nii-san also purchased several sets of ordinary clothes as well as he didn’t always have time to do so
After that it seeroup to who-kno-many tailor’s shops, accessory shops, etc
Why I a wo down your body
“Erich-nii-san, don’t you go out with Miriah?” (Wendelin)
“I accompanied her once before, because of that I learned from experience” (Erich)
Because Miria noble, she doesn’t seem to be a person who squanders overly much
