As we approached Gotania, there were more traffic.

We met one or two groups in one hour, but we were quite prominent, as we drove humans. Some people bother calling out and asking if they're bandits, and saying yes and saying they've done well.

Beck and Thor are the masters, and I, Clelia and Tars are sitting on luggage. Clelia was sitting behind her luggage, watching for bandits.

I asked Tarus what he had been worried about because he was free. Gotania is a large city with a population of about 20,000 and is said to be a prosperous trading city in the Kingdom of Berta.

"Do I need any permission to enter the city?"

"Aran isn't in any guild?"

Guilds are known from Beck and others. An organization registered by adventurers or merchants. There are adventurer guilds, commercial guilds, and many other guilds. Beck and Thor are in a commercial guild.

"I haven't entered it."

"If you are in a guild, your guild card will be your identity card, but if you are not, you will have to pay a security deposit and issue a temporary certificate."

"How much deposit is needed?"

"What a silver coin per person. It will come back later if you enter a guild somewhere and show your guild certificate."

It's surprisingly kind.

"Is it expensive to get into the guild?"

"Yes, Alan is an adventurer's guild. I've heard of five silver coins."

It doesn't seem to matter to enter the city.

"How much does it cost to stay overnight at a hotel in the city?"

"The amount of money changes completely depending on the inn. From cheap copper to four large coins, ordinary inn from one silver coin, luxury inn from five silver coins?"

"Is there a hotel with a bath?"

"Baths are usually included in luxury hotels, but not in ordinary hotels."

I knew the market somehow. It is calculated that you can stay for 20 days with a bath and five silver coins or one gold coin. Celia and two of them are pretty much like that for a while.

"Would you please come to my residence today? Of course, everyone is together."

"Huh? But ..."

"Thank you. You are my lifesaver and those who have taken the enemy of employees and adventurers. I would like to thank you at least today."

It is rude to refuse to say this.

"I understand. I'll take care of you."

"Thank you. I have a bath and I can expect a meal."

Hooray! That's really nice.

"Beck! It's been awkward to see Tarus tonight, even a treat."

"I'm done!"

At about 4:00 pm, the city of Gotania was visible. The whole city is surrounded by walls about 10 meters high. Try zooming. It looks like a wall made of red-brown bricks. There is a huge gate, and two carriages are waiting to enter the gate. Certainly a big city.

I arrived at the gate to enter the city in about twenty minutes. The lined up group seemed to be cleared. Two men with spears are approaching, wearing something like leather armor. This is the garrison. The three of us sitting in the luggage get off the carriage and go to meet.

"Hey, that's a huge number. These guys are bandits? Did you catch them alone?"

It's a very frank feeling for a soldier.

"Hello, Roman captain"

"This is it! Isn't it Tarus? I'm sorry, I didn't notice!

"My merchant has been attacked by the bandits behind me. My Timo and the five adventurers have been killed. I've been helped by those who were probably alive for ransom. is"

"Wow! That was a disaster. Now, take a break at the cramming place. Yes, Tars and this young man have been waiting at the gate every day for the last three days."

As you walk toward the gate, a boy, about thirteen, comes running.

"Husband! Husband! Are you safe? Oh, good!"

Mr. Tarus seems to be very much admired.

"Willie, you seemed worried. Did the store have no problem?"

"I think there was no problem, but everyone is worried."

"That's okay. Can you tell me my safety and the four my benefactors will be invited to my house to prepare for it?"

"understood!"

The boy ran at full speed. When I arrived at the garrison's camp, I was guided to a place like a reception room, whereupon tea came out. Well, it's VIP treatment.

Proceed with the procedure. Since Beck and Thor were members of the commercial guild, there was no problem, but I and Clelia had nothing and paid two silver deposits and received a temporary certificate. Even though it is a certificate, it is a wooden tag that has something written on it.

"Then it's a matter of thieves, but we'll get a memorandum, so the prize will be finalized two days later. We'll have the prize available again if we come back two days later."

"I understand. Thank you."

Alright, money is likely to be available.

When I left the camp and headed to Tarus's residence, a small carriage was standing in front of the camp, and a man like a butler stood.

"Husband, I'm here to pick you up."

"Oh, Jonas? It took time," said Tars.

"Mr. Alan, Leah, let's go with this carriage. Ride is better than luggage."

"Okay, Beck, come with this carriage."

The streets of Gotania seem to be made of the same red-brown bricks as the city's outer walls. There is a sense of unity and it is very beautiful. The crowd is crowded with people because it is almost evening. There are a variety of housewife-like women shopping, and a young man shopping and eating in open-air stores. Oh, I also want to buy.

Everyone is hurrying to see this carriage and avoiding by his side. It may be avoided because it is this carriage. From the garrison's attitude, Tarus is a pretty big player in the city. I have to thank the good luck of making a loan to such a powerful person.

Even if you have trouble in this city, Tarus will surely help you.

After a while, the atmosphere of the city changes suddenly, and it feels like a quiet residential area. The carriage stopped in front of one of the largest buildings.

People who seem to be employees are lining up. Tarus got off the carriage.

"Welcome home, husband!"

"Um, everyone was worried."

Some employees are weeping. I guess she's longing for it. We, Beck and Thor also got off the carriage. There is no odd feeling.

"Everyone, this is my lifesaver. Alan, Leah, Beck, Thor. Please take care of me."

""Yes!""

"Everyone, please go inside"

Jonas, a butler-like person, will guide you.

"I wish everyone had a bath first," said Tarz.

"I see. Click here."

Jonas will guide you.

"Then, why don't the rear go first?"

"No, there are other baths," says Jonas.

"Lear, please here"

A young female employee appears and guides the rear.

Tarus went somewhere, and he had several baths. Great.

"This is a bath. That's rude, but how do you get in?"

"Isn't you going after you wash your body cleanly?"

Someday I've seen a documentary called "All of Hot Springs" on the holobit. The bath would be similar.

"Yes, I'm sorry.

Inside, there is a dressing room, and behind it you can see a bath and washroom made of wood that ten people can enter.

"Alan, we are the first to take a bath"

Beck and Thor seem nervous.

"What, just wash your body and soak in the water."

It looks like I can wash my body after a long absence.

Take off your clothes at the dressing room and go to the bath. Beck and Thor also take off their clothes in a hurry and follow.

"First, draw hot water in this tub and hang it on your body. And then draw hot water again, oh this. A cloth to wash this body, oh this is it!"

This is an alternative to body soap. I forgot the name but saw it in a documentary.

"Wet this cloth and rub it like this stone and lather it."

Beck and Thor imitate the panicky behavior.

"If it's foamy, just wash your body clean with this cloth. Wipe your head with this stone."

I was absorbed in washing my body for a while. Beck and Thor are happily washing with a smile. I feel like my body has been beautiful for a long time.

"Once you've finished washing, remove the whole body foam with hot water."

We covered with hot water from the head and washed off the bubbles.

"I just soak in the hot water."

Soak slowly in hot water. It's just a good hot water. Wow, this is good. After all, you can't go swimming.

"Alan, you can take a bath."

Thor is nodding.

"Oh, it's the best"

Enjoy the hot water slowly.

Because it seems to be hot, I'm going to get a regret.

"If you sweat, let it flow in hot water before you leave."

She sweated with hot water from her head. Beck and Thor are imitating. Jonas was waiting at the dressing room.

"I prepared a change of clothes pretending to me. If you like, please have this one. I will wash what I was wearing."

I'm exhausted. I wiped my body and head with something like a towel and dressed. The clothes provided were perfect for all three. It's like an employee wears it, but it's more upscale.

"We have prepared a meal here"

The guided room is a room that can be used for a large party and has a long table, and meal preparation is progressing. Tarus was already in a seat that seems to be the master seat. After all, Tarus seems to have taken a bath.

"Alan, how was the bath?"

"No, it was the best. It was a long time and I enjoyed it."

I sat in the seat where I was guided.

"If you like, I'd like to have a meal with my family and employees in a banquet. Is it okay? I was worried and would like to work hard."

"Of course! I'm not good at being too stiff, and that's better."

"I thought you could say that."

As soon as tableware for employees is placed, preparations are underway. Clelia came in. After all it seems that he was taking a bath. She wears a dress like a dress.

"Eh! Master !?"

Beck and Thor are surprised. Speaking of which, did you almost only see armor?

"What are you strange?"

Clelia is reviewing herself.

"No, I missed it because it was so beautiful."

"A rude guy."

I was guided and sat next to me.

"Alan, how about this?"

I want to be proud. Anyway, it's borrowed.

"It looks great on the rear."

Lip service.

"Really"

I'm shy to want to praise. People who seem to be Mr. Tarus's family came in one after another. I'm sitting on the seat opposite us. Mr. Tarus's wife and his son, about 20 years old, and his daughter, about 14 years old.

"I'm Tana's wife, Rana. This is my son, Cattle, and my daughter, Tara."

Greetings to continue.

"Alan. This is rear, Beck, Thor."

Leah bows down with some sort of classy feeling. Beck and Thor looked down and bowed.

"Thank you for saving your husband this time. If you did not help Alan, you would have been killed."

"No, I just did it, so don't worry."

"Okay, I'm done with the greeting. Let's get started."

Other employees are seating one after another. It's like a toast. Wine is being poured.

"Let's have fun today with an unattended lecture! Let's toast for a miraculous encounter with Alan!"

""cheers!""

Various dishes are brought one after another. Everyone is a platter. It's like taking a favorite thing like a village.

Look around and check your manners before cooking. It is convenient because there is one dish. There are several kinds of meat dishes, egg dishes, salads, bread, and everything.

Beck and Thor are stiff, but they are following us and cooking. The rear is not the usual way to eat fast, but eats elegantly, but the speed is fast. Eat a good amount in an instant.

Every dish is delicious. It was a great dish. It's an orthodox dish that you know you've made over time. The mouth, which ate only salt and pepper dishes, felt very delicious. I have to ask a lot about seasonings tomorrow.

Tarus seems to be hungry and eats a good amount. I didn't eat anything after rescuing it. It should have been something.

Huh, I'm already satisfied. Clelia, Beck and Thor are still eating but don't mind. Let's do wine slowly.

"Alan, how is the taste of the dish?"

"Everything is superb. I really enjoyed it. I'm a hobby, but can I still tell you a little bit about seasoning tomorrow?"

"That's good! I'm a general merchant. There are literally more to sell."

"Thank you"

"Well, cooking is a rare hobby among men! What kind of food can you cook?"

“I make everything. Recently, seasonings and ingredients were limited, so I could only make meat dishes.

"Well, sweetness is wonderful! Would you like to make something tomorrow?"

"That's good! But if you have immature ingredients that I can handle,"

Is there sugar? Milk? Butter? No, this might be bad.

"Well, I'm looking forward to it."

"Well, after looking at the ingredients."

I'm done. He was open-minded.

"Speaking of which, Father. Two days ago there was an apostle in Gotania."

"Apostle?"

"No, no, Tara. I haven't decided on an apostle yet."

"What's that? Cattle"

"In the daytime two days ago, a very large bird appeared over Gotania, dad."

"A bird? Isn't it an eagle?"

"No, I think it was bigger than a large eagle and maybe about the size of a Wyvern. So the city became a fuss."

"What? Is it so big? Not Wyvern?"

"No, the way of flight was completely different. The way of flight was like an eagle without flying at all."

"Is there no damage to the city?"

"It's absolutely. I flew gently in a circular motion over a very high sky, and it disappeared in a moment enough."

"Hmm. Why is it going to be an apostle?"

"That's how the Johann Shokai was attacked by a group of about ten greyhounds three days ago, at which time the bird appeared and rescued."

"How did you save?"

"It's a pretty incoherent story, and he said that he threw the lightning of God from heaven. He then flew over the merchant for a while and disappeared suddenly."

`` So when they appeared over Gotania, the Johann firmers shouted about it and insisted that they were the apostle Isaac, who rested on the shoulder of the goddess Luminous. ''

"Now Gotania is out of that rumor."

"I see, that's what happened."

There will be no apostles. It's a very eyebrows story. Probably an undiscovered monster. Let's shoot it with a rifle when it appears again. If it were that rare, it would probably be money. I might sell meat.

"Speaking of which, where are Beck and Toll offloading their merchandise?"

My son, Cattle, asked.

"Um, this is Siemon Shokai."

Beck replied. Cattle glanced quickly with Tarus. Don't worry.

"Do you have anything?"

"Siemon Shokai is not a very good reputation among fellow merchants. It doesn't mean it's wrongful, but in short, it's about buying and hitting a supplier and selling it high to customers. Of course, every merchant does this, but it has a reputation for being too bad. "

"Do you have any contract with Siemon Shokai?"

"No, I haven't. I've heard that I've been wholesale since my grandfather's relationship."

"Oh, I see. Siemon's predecessor, who I knew, was a respectable person who was doing the right thing. It has become worse, "said Tarus.

"That's right! So the price of cotton has been falling in recent years ..."

"Oh, the opposite. Over the past few years, the price of cotton has been increasing. Would you like me to assess the load tomorrow, if you like?"

"Of course, you don't have to sell just because you've assessed. If you're satisfied with the price, just sell it," said Tars.

"Thank you, but will you be guilty of the Seamon firm?" Said Beck.

"Nothing is unreasonable. If you haven't signed a contract, you can bring your cargo anywhere. If you still get something to say, we'll be with you."

Tarus was the face of a scary merchant.

"Now, let's talk about work again tomorrow. Hey, everyone is not drinking enough!"

Mr. Tarus started saying something like a senior officer.

After that, everyone drunk, and it became a banquet. Although Tarus and his wife were withdrawn quite early, Quatre, Beck and Thor are upset with each other because they have the same age. Clelia seems to be talking about a girl with Tara. I also talked with the employees in various ways, and I was able to get along quite a bit.

The banquet continued until late at night.
