Chapter 1 E 10 (Fleeing) 2
”Here you go!”
A hostess put two large s on Ryouma table
Then she pours the drink with a liquid until the bubbles spilled to the black table
” I didn't order for this, but?”
Ryou filled with beer and the hostess
”It's on the house! Please drink it!”
Saying that the hostess sits down on one of the chairs
”I've never seen your face around here before, are you traveling person?”
She talks with a friendly tone toward Ryouma
”Are you on break?”
Ryouma asked the hostess who has sat down on the chair
”Look around? there's only you here”
Toward the hostess words, Ryou around the restaurant, and turn out, he's the only customer left
When Ryouma entered the restaurant there were still several visitors, it seeo back home
”It's the time you see We finish lunch at 3:00 Since you come at 258, the restaurant is not yet closed”
Saying that the hostess s in front of him
”Though the kitchen staff already take a break since a while ago, there's still cleaning to be done Nonetheless, to say, It would be boring to stand alone until you finished eating see Thus, keep company this aunty for a bit And, this drink is the payment for that”
After saying that, she pushes the s toward Ryouma
”Is that so? I' the trouble”
”Don't mind it, don't mind it~ So? are you a traveler?”
The tone of the hostess is very frank and smooth And one can see that she's also a talkative person
(Well there's no hars that I want to know too)
Ryouma decide to talk about his personal history for a bit Because what he needed the most was information
”Indeed That's right This is the first time I come here”
'He~, so you came to the Ortomea imperial capital for the first time eh? You're alone?”
”No I came here with my father and the other day, my father died cause of disease”
Saying that Ryouma lower her head
The hostessunpleasant Then she said it in a hurry
”Ah~ I've asked so ne~”
Ryou
”No There's no helping it for his illness”
”Is that so? So it was an illness huh then you, what are you going to do now? Going back to your hometown?”
”I think I will live in the imperial capital Since I've traveled with my father here and there, I would like to settle down in this neighborhood”
(Here it is, the main subject I have to speak carefully so that she won't think of me as someone suspicious)
Ryouma waited for a chance to hear the information he wanted to hear patiently Since he knows that, if he were to be too impatient, it would only incur the hostess suspicion
The hostess seeood person won't doubt others people origins; besides, Ryouma story sounds very believable
”Is that so So, where are you going to live?”
(Here it comes!)
Ryouma is pleased that the topic he had waited have come
First, I have to work to live However, for Ryouma who had coet a job here or not
Furthereneral co the road
And since he exposes his face, Ryouht fall into the empire hands if he does a bad job here
”About that to say honestly, up until now I've been helpingree”
”I see Well~ in the case with your age~ you're too young to become a craftsman and a merchant would be difficult to do~”
The hostess nodded her head while looking at Ryouma face
”I can't be a merchant?”
”I don't say you can't, but I think it would be difficult you know? It is a job that you need to train since childhood see~”
”Is that so? Wah, this is bad huh”
Ryouma pretends to feel down
”You You said you can use the sword? Then why not try being mercenaries or adventurers~?”
”Oh, I can? but, how am I supposed to do to become one of those?”
”What's this? you don't know??”
”Indeed I don't know much about the detail, if you don't mind, can you tell me about it?”
Ryouma polite tone makes the other ease their wariness toward him, and make them think that they should help him
In fact, in term of courtesy, the hostess will at least answer it no matter who had asked
”Though it's not really that detailed At least I can grasp some part of it since sometimes adventurers and ht?”
”By all means, please do tell me about it”
Saying that, Ryouma lowered his head
”I-It's not souild and register, then it's done”
”Huh? I heard that they need a background check and other necessities, though?”
This is the thing that Ryouma worried about
Ryou like fauarantee his identity If that is needed, to be honest, he has no way out of it
It would be straight line to becohway robber
However, The answer of the hostess is quite simple
”You don't need a guarantor or proof of identity to beco a merchant, craftsman, and also a soldier
Ne~ If you want to register at the guild alone, you can do it over there”
Ryouma then shows smile on his whole face
It seems like he can find job at least
”Really!? I'ht they would need identity guarantee! Turn out it was just misunderstood in my part eh”
Ryoue s
”Youuild location is, outside of this restaurant, you go toward the left side heading to the main street, and you will found it immediately”
”Thank you very much! Ma'am I will head toward that please immediately”
”Is that so? then do coht?”
”Sure!well then, the bill please”
”Sure! 1 person portion serving for menu A is 25 bahts”
Hearing that Ryouma hardened It's not because he does not have anydifferent
(damn it I still don't know the value of the money)
A while before when I buy the clothes, I cairl take thequickly, but here, I can't use the same method
Since there's no other choice, Ryouold coin which seems to be the most valuable on the table
”W-Wait you Even if you took out 1000 baht, there wouldn't be any change”
Seeing gold coin on the table, the hostess look amazed
”Do you not have any 100 baht silver coin?”
(Alright I found the value of the money)
one piece of Gold coin is ten thousand baht
One silver coin is a hundred baht
(Does that mean, one piece of copper is 1 baht?)
”Ah I'm very sorry Please wait a moment”
Pretending to be in a hurry he took anotherfrom his pocket
”I probably put it in this one 25 copper coins right?”
”That's right 25 baht”
”Ah! Here it is I'e here”
He put the 25 copper coins on the table while glossing it over
”Alright! Thank you very e”
While the hostess put the copper coins on her apron, she asked Ryouma
”You, you don't have a card? since we can use card here, please use that next time”
(Card? Does she mean Credit Card?)
He could not say that he don't know anything about that; thus Ryou up with the hostess
”Ah well about that~ the truth is I lost the card see but since I hold some cash, I think I won't feel troubled for a while”
”Oh? I see, so that's what had happened Well~ I guess because the depositor is the only one that can use the money it is safe, but, so it? There are banks near the guilds you know?”
(As expected, a bank huh? Or rather, really? A bank? in this world?)
Since Ryou back, he asks the hostess a question
”Do reissuing it not need any family identity proof?”
”You don't need it you know? If youbank account application, you will only require personal information”
”Oh~ Is that how it is? I don't know that Thank you very much!”
After that being said, Ryouma lowered his head toward the hostess
”Don't ain later”
As she went off, Ryouma then left the restaurant and walked toward the main street
”First, I need to go to the bank!”
He follows the direction that the hostess had told hi stacked on the left side of the road, and he also saw a sign with a picture of a soldier wearing armor
(Such an easy to understand signboard huh to think they use a picture)
Ryou
Honestly speaking, it's quite heavy to carry seven bags of coins
Especially when there are soht
That's being the case, Ryouuilds
”Welcome What kind of business do you have today?”
A ed man froh the bank entrance
The receptionist is exactly like a bank in japan
Black suits hite shi+rt And a red necktie hangs on his neck
(Suit? why is he wearing a suit?)
Ryouma did not understand this world for some reason
If we think about how this world looks likeas, suits, and card as well
(I thought I went to a different place, to think it would be this similar I can only admire them)
”Emm? Excuse me?”
Theat his face that seems to be flustered
”Oh, I'm sorry It wasan account”
The man nodded toward Ryouma then led him
”It's this reception, sir”
”Thank you very much”
”This person wish to open an account I'll leave the rest to you alright”
After saying that toward the woman receptionist, the man left the place
”Welcome you wish to open an account yes?”
Navy blue jacket and red ribbon A wo her uniform sit down on the counter
Such your ordinary receptionist
This kind of scene won't surprise me if only if this place is not another world
”Yes Because this is my first time, I don't know very much about the procedure”
For Ryouood point is that he can just listen obediently for the things he doesn't understand
Rather than pretending to know, this is much safer
”Certainly Excuse me, but, please fill in your name”
Then she handed him the parchment and the pen
(Why parchment?)
Ryouma suppressed the question that welled up inside of hi the pen and minutes
Name = Mikoshi+ba Ryouma
Age = 16
There's no address colue
After being unconsciously writing his nae, Ryouma returned the parchment toward the receptionist
(Huh? The letters it's japanese right? do those letters common here?)
