The Neighborhood High School Girl, Miss Isezaki, Is the Great Saintess Returned from Another World~ And I, Suddenly Awakened as Her Exclusive Mana Supply Uncle, Travel Between Earth and Another World with Time-Space Magic~ - 73. Arrival at the Capital City, Carnelia

73. Arrival at the Capital City, Carnelia

The carriage gradually approached the gates of the capital city. Several gatekeepers stood in front of the gate, conducting checks on the carriages and people passing through.

I thought our carriage would wait in line behind the others, but it continued on towards the gate without stopping.

Naturally, the gatekeeper hurried over, but Holly, sitting on the coachman’s seat, held up some sort of token. Upon seeing it, the gatekeeper immediately stood at attention and saluted without moving. It was probably some kind of noble identification. Noble power is impressive, huh?

And so, we entered the capital city, leaving the halted carriages behind.

Passing through the gate, the carriage headed towards the main street. People bustled back and forth on the main street, and the voices of shopkeepers trying to attract customers could be heard non-stop, conveying a lively atmosphere.

Grandain also had its own vitality, but being called a frontline city, it had a somewhat rough atmosphere, lacking the elegance felt here. Grandain felt like a downtown area, while the capital city felt more urban.

“Sister, Matsunaga-sama, what are your plans after this?”

As I gazed out the window at the surroundings, Levia-sama sitting across from me spoke up. Before I could respond, Isezaki-san answered.

“I don’t have any particular plans. I’ll go along with whatever ojisan wants to do.”

“Is that so? Then, would you like to tour the capital city?”

“Of course. I’ll accompany you, ojisan!”

Isezaki-san smiled brightly. Since she seems to have been to the capital city before, let’s ask her to be our guide.

“It’s delightful to see you all having fun. Well then, I shall also enjoy myself, witnessing the bewildered expression of my sister who wonders why I’m still alive. Ohohohoho…”

Levia-sama laughed with wrinkles between her brows. Quite intimidating.

“I-I see. Um… please be careful, okay?”

The Delixir Levia-sama is going to meet is someone who seems to have attempted to assassinate her. Although I want to keep my distance from the nobles, it’s still a concern.

“I understand. I’ll take care of it. Once I’m done with my business, I’ll return promptly. …By the way, here’s the introduction letter.”

“Thank you very much.”

I received an envelope sealed with stamped wax from Levia-sama. Enclosed was an introduction letter to a monster material dealer.

It seems the materials from the Earth Dragon I defeated can fetch a high price. Of course, I’d like to sell them, but the Reymar Company, with which I have a relationship, doesn’t handle monster materials except for meat.

So Levia-sama proposed a plan. Through her mediation, we decided to sell them to a specialized monster material dealer in the capital city.

Since it’s a store that also deals with the Count Carius’ family, we won’t be asked unnecessary questions, nor will we be cheated.

As I can use “Storage,” I was chosen as the transporter, acting as Levia-sama’s servant. We’ll head there now.

What an excellent condition. Although Levia-sama says it’s not enough to repay her for protecting her, I’ll gladly accept her kindness.

By the way, I consulted the adventurers about sharing the proceeds, feeling grateful that we were able to defeat the Earth Dragon, but they refused.

They probably have their pride as escorts, and I thought it wouldn’t be right to impose on them, so I gratefully decided to take everything.

“Levia-sama, is this place acceptable?”

I heard Holly’s voice from the coachman’s seat, and the carriage slowly stopped at the edge of the street. It seems like it’s time to part ways here.

As I and Isezaki-san exchanged farewell greetings with Levia-sama and got off the carriage, it promptly departed. We had already made a promise to meet again in Grandain, so it was a straightforward farewell.

And waiting for us outside were the adventurers, as if to greet us.

It seems their escort job ends here. Everyone had a relieved expression that their work was finished. The leader approached us.

“Hey! What are you two going to do next, Matsunaga-san?”

“We plan to stay here for a while.”

I lied smoothly; in reality, once we finish selling the materials and sightseeing, we intend to return using “Dimensional Teleportation.”

“I see. We’ll be escorting Levia-sama back to Grandain. We really appreciate your help this time. Next time we meet in Grandain, let us treat you to drinks.”

Saying so, I shook hands with the leader, and in the distance, I heard Geeta’s voice.

“Matsunaga-san, Mrs. Matsunaga, see you later!”

Geeta waved his hand vigorously and ran down the main street with Cyril. Since they seem to be free until tomorrow, they probably want to go out and play together as soon as possible.

“Geeta! Don’t be late for the meeting time!”

“I knowww!”

The leader waved them off with a bemused expression. Then, the other adventurers also bid me farewell and dispersed one by one. Finally, the leader disappeared into the distance down the main street.

Feeling a bit lonely being left behind in the city after all the group activities, I watched the adventurers leave. Suddenly, Isezaki-san tugged at my sleeve.

“So, sir, what would you like to do first? Hehe, I’ll guide you anywhere!”

Isezaki-san’s eyes sparkled with delight. Unlike me, a country bumpkin, she’s indeed experienced in the capital city. Her demeanor is different.

“Well then, let’s put sightseeing on hold for now and take care of the troublesome matters first. Do you know the location of the monster material dealer’s shop?”

“I do. It’s still quite a ways ahead, I believe.”

Isezaki-san pointed straight ahead down the main street as she spoke.

“I see. Then let’s take a leisurely stroll through the town while we’re at it.”

“Yes, sir!”

Isezaki-san nodded with a smile, and I accompanied her as we began to walk slowly down the main street.
