Chapter 72 (1/2)
Chapter 72
72 The Kingdom is in Chaos 2
After I gain enough distance away from the town, I immediately teleport to the next town .
By the time I entered the town, the sun is about to set .
This time, let’s stay in a regular Inn .
As I was slowly going through the town, I saw a sign board, it was a tavern and an inn .
Uh huh, it’s has the cla.s.sic [inn] vibe .
I decided on you! (I choose you!)
Mitsuha: 「Is there a room available? Also, can you take care of the carriage? 」
I asked a girl from 5 to 6 years old who seems to be the owner’s daughter, and is sitting at the reception counter, which is located near the entrance .
No, if she is not their daughter, then this a violation of the Labor Standards Act!
Perhaps, the owner and his wife are busy preparing for dinner .
Loli: 「Yes, it’s okay ~ . Onii-chaan!」
It was good, she seems to be the daughter here after all .
A boy who was about as tall as I am, came out from behind her, after being called out by the little girl .
I say he is about 11 years old…… .
Loli: 「Onii-chan, please take care of her horse-drawn carriage . 」
Shōnen: 「Yeah sure . 」
I entrusted the carriage to the boy, and then I received the key of the room from the little girl, then after that I decided to eat as it is .
The only things I took from the carriage were a water bottle similar to vacuum flask and a small bag with a few personal items . I keep in good condition .
And then I asked for a meat dish that is ordered by most people in the restaurant, and eat it slowly… .
Customer 1: 「… and the sea water gets steadily drained, the sea water dries up while we are looking………」
Ohh… (Oya…)
I wonder if some father is telling a story to his child .
The story of the draining sea water, there is also a myth everywhere . Norse mythology or something……
You can’t drain it just like that, you know…… .
Customer 1: 「And so, many ships have been left behind in the mud, drawn by the sea water…」
Child: 「Oooh, so Princess Shrine Maiden-sama caught the enemy’s super-huge battleship!」
Bu fu ~o~o~o ~~ ~tsu! ! (spewing her food sfx)
Customer 2: 「That’s dirty, young lady . ……」
Mitsuha: 「I, I’m sorry… . 」
Complaints came from the next table .
No, I’m really sorry .
……However, what kind of hoax is spreading, what the heck are you saying!!
When I tried to continue my meal with a feeling of embarra.s.sment, trying to hide my bright red face, a young man came inside .
The young man, who was wearing a hat from the middle of the twentieth century, took a small harmonica, he gave a light wave to the little girl at the reception counter, the little girl greeted him and then the man walked forward to the audience as it is .
Apparently he’s not a customer .
When he stopped he took off his hat and placed it upside down, and then sat on a stool and played something like a polyphonic tune from the harmonica that he had in his hand .
……Ah, a bard or a musician, for the entertainment… .
Bard: 「Everyone, please listen! This is a story when the Princess Shrine Maiden of Thunder drains the sea water and captures the enemy’s super-huge battleships…… . 」
Bard: 「Everyone, please listen! This is a story when the Princess Shrine Maiden of Thunder drains the sea water and captures the enemy’s super-huge battleships…… . 」
Mitsuha: 「It was yoouuu~~~!!」 (Omae ka a ~a~a~a ~~~ !!)
As soon as I noticed it, I found myself in a quiet shop, the bard was slipping down from his chair, and I was standing up with a fork clenched in my hand……… . 。
Bard: 「Pri, Princess Shrine Maiden-sama……?」
Oh, c.r.a.p, now I’ve done it! (Shi, shimatta a~a ~~!)
After that, I set up a heavy Moxibustion for the bard so as not to spread the harsh hoax . (その後、吟遊詩人には、あまり酷いデマを撒き散らさないようコッテリお灸を据えておいた)
In any case, I’m going to regret this but,『It’s time to earn money……』so I reluctantly talked to the bard and arrange the story music, about the time of the absolute defense warfare against the Kingdom of Vanel . 『Heavy machine gun No . 1, 10:00 to 14:00, sweeping in 5 seconds . Shoot!』or simply,『Mow them down!』change it to something like that .
Here, n.o.body knows about the conversation and state of the combat zone at that time in detail, so it will not be a problem for their pa.s.sion, but I wonder… .
Now while you’re eating, we can make the following story .
The bard was impressed by the story which was [told directly by the Princess Shrine Maiden-sama herself], he gave his thanks while overflowing with tears, but because he said [I want to get something that can prove that it is a story I heard directly from the Princess Shrine Maiden-sama] I wrote it in a single stroke and gave him a letter as a proof .
As expected, you absolutely loved it .
After that, the customers who listened to my story, bought me a drink and everyone was excited .
