Atelier Tanaka Volume 1 &2 Chapter 24 Part 1
Conflict 2
It took around five full days by carriage to reach Ester-chan’s territory.
Ive also heard that it would take an additional ten days to reach the capital city of the Pussy Republic from here. Im really able to understand why the noble mage wanted so desperately to create a faster airship.
I really want to believe that we wont end up attacking the enemy’s capital city. Id be happy if we only had to defend our own border. Though, there are places in that country I wouldnt mind seeing.
All of the food we have available on the carriage is preserved.
Dried meat, dried fruit, and dried vegetables. Everything is so dry. No cooking utensils were loaded into the carriage and when I asked for something else I was told I should be glad I’ve even been given this.
And what about our drinking water? Well, it’s lukewarm and has a strange smell to it. The taste of the water makes me think someone else already drank it and spit it back out after eating some beef. This is due to the fact that it’s stored in a leather waterskin.
We were each only given a single piece of food and some water. The horse pulling the carriage was treated better than us. It isnt surprising to see them treating a conscripted army so poorly.
It’s quite a different situation compared to when I was travelling with Team Orgy.
Is the situation here really that desperate?
Because this city is positioned along the border, I expect to see even more soldiers living here than in the capital.
“Everyone off. We’ll go through the final formalities at the Guild here and you’ll each receive your equipment.”
The staff member from the Guild that was driving the carriage said this.
The carriage stopped before I even noticed and we were now in front of a large building.
According to what he just said, this is the Adventurer’s Guild of Tricklis. The Guild in this city was just as grandiose as the one in Kalis.
“.”
We exited the carriage and walked towards the entrance to the Guild.
Just like Kalis’s Guild, there were counters lined up along the walls and many adventurers standing around. Perhaps they’re all adventurers that have been drafted just like us. Looking around at the interior of the Guild, it seemed the letter summoning Guild members was not just restricted to Kalis.
“Ku, there are too many people.”
The Dark Elf was pushing her way through the crowd of people.
Well, whatever.
By the way, Tricklis is the largest city in the Fitz-Clarence territory.
Kalis is the most well known and diverse city in this country, but Tricklis is mostly filled with locals. Of course, the size of this city can’t really compare to Kalis. Nevertheless, this city has managed to flourish as it is the focal point of any trade and diplomacy between the Pussy Republic and the Penny Empire.
In the centre of the city, I could see a large, circular castle that resembled the castle in Kalis. Even when we were still in the carriage, I could see countless market stalls and a seemingly endless amount of people along the streets. Both the width of the main road and the number of people walking alongside the road was great. The main street looked as crowded as Akiba on a holiday.
It kind of changes my view of this world seeing a city so packed with people. Due to the monsters and thieves that exist outside of this city, they’re forced to become something resembling a city-state. The imposing walls that encircled the city really showed the distance and distrust that existed between this city and the Pussy Republic.
I’ve heard that these skirmishes shouldn’t last for very long, but just imagining these two massive powers going to war is a terrible thought. Any merchants travelling to or from either country must travel through here. This city exists to allow those two countries to coexist.
Ester-chan was awarded an extremely troubling piece of land. Though these are just my own selfish thoughts, I feel like Ester-chan accepted this land thinking this would greatly improve her family’s position.
“Next!”
A man on the other side of the counter yelled this out.
Apparently, it’s already my turn.
“That’s me.”
Why is this guy just as macho as the guild receptionist in Kalis?
He even has his head completely shaved.
Is this just standard for all Guild receptionists?
“Hurry up and show me your tag, I’m busy enough as it is.”
“S-Sorry.”
I handed him the tag I received when I first registered at the Guild.
I was lucky I kept this in my wallet all this time.
The ossan compared this to the paperwork he had in front of him.
“Alright, take your equipment and get on the carriage with the white canopy waiting outside.”
A bag containing clothing and other items was set in front of me. It only weighed around two or three kilograms. I looked around at the other adventurers and saw that they were all given the same thing.
It seems you can decline it if you prefer to use your own equipment. Of course, I brought basically nothing, so I’ll gladly accept it. If I don’t take it, I’m not sure I’ll be able to last through tomorrow. There was clearly only one choice.
“Eh? Another carriage?”
“Yeah. You’re supposed to be heading to the frontlines. Umm, your name is, Tanaka?”
“Yes.”
“What a strange name.”
The ossan replied while looking over the papers in front of him.
“I’m sorry, but as you can see I’m from a foreign country.”
“The frontlines are severely lacking anyone that can use support magic. Any adventurer that can use support magic, especially recovery magic, is to be sent straight to the frontlines.”
Seriously?
That’s just too severe.
“According to this paperwork here, you specialize in recovery magic andwhat is a PC? Some type of recovery magic? Oh well, your abilities match those listed, so I’m supposed to send you on the white carriage straight to the frontlines.”
“I-Is that so.”
Straight to the frontlines?
I at least wanted to sleep in a bed tonight.
I haven’t even had a chance to masturbate over the last five days.
My son will stand at attention if I feel even a light breeze. Especially when I’m around that Dark Elf’s ridiculous body. Last night I couldn’t even lay down on my stomach because I was so close to her.
“You’re holding up the line, move along.”
“Right.”
Well, that’s the situation. I can’t do anything about it.
The Guild is filled with people. I can’t try to argue here and disturb everyone else. I wonder how the situation is on the border. I can’t do much if healers are in such a high demand.
I really don’t want to fight in a war.
People are being sent here and there as if they’re nothing more than supplies.
At the counter next to me, the Dark Elf was arguing with another receptionist.
“What’s this supposed to be!? This is the equipment you’re giving us on the frontlines!?”
“Is this not good enough for you? If so, then why not bring your own equipment, slave.”
“What did you say!? Dont fuck around with me!”
“Just go out there and get on the white carriage. You’re in the way!”
“I hope you remember this. One day, when I’m free, you’ll regret your words.”
She’s going to the frontlines with me.
Is this typical treatment of a slave? She was hit across her face and the left side of her face was beginning to turn red. Her dark skin was even darker and closer to her lips you could see a faint shade of red.
I’m sure she’ll attack that man if this goes on any longer.
“We should really be going.”
I’m glad she talked to me on the carriage.
So I decided to save her from this situation.
This was also a great opportunity for me to legally touch all over her plump brown body.
“L-Let go of me!”
The second I grabbed onto her arm she yelled at me.
However, I can’t give up here.
“Your beautiful face has become dirty.”
I said this and used my recovery magic on her red cheeks.
The injury was cured in no time.
In response, she was no longer trying to break free of my grasp.
“.”
Still, this Dark Elf is as muscular as any warrior. Her arm felt rather rugged in my hand. I was hoping for something softer or more feminine.
If I touch her ass will those dreams be fulfilled?
I want to touch her ass. I want to touch her pussy. I want to feel them. I want to reach out and grab hold of this wonderful dream.
But I can’t do that yet.
“There are still a lot of people waiting, so we should go before we start annoying them.”
“Kuw-who are you calling annoying.”
She looked back at the man behind the counter and appeared to be reluctant to leave, but she was clearly considering what I said. She finally seemed to decide on what to do and started walking towards the entrance of the Guild.
I’m sorry. I’m sorry for complaining about how muscular you are.
I want to touch your body a little more.
