Vol.1
Ch.11 – We enjoy a rice after a long time.
At night after we finished audiences with the king.
I and Marl were relaxing in the bedroom for guests.
Fortunately, there is a bath in this room, so I enjoyed the bath after a long long time.
Cleaning magic surely makes me cleaner, but it is still inferior to the feeling of a bath that warms the body to its core.
Of course, I did a lot of washing and many other things in the bath and flirted to my heart's content.
Bath is good, really great thing.
Marl whose always tie up her hair in a ponytail now let it down and wipes her wet hair carefully with a towel.
I like ponytail Marl, but I also love the semi-long Marl too. The wet hair after the bath looks sexy.
But now I'm in a sage mode, so I just at it with a pleasing eye.
“Taichi-san, won't you ask anything about me?”(Marl)
“Huh? Real name or princess thing?”(Taichi)
Marl stopping her hands that were wiping her hair and listening with a subtle expression.
The answer to such Marl is decided in advance.
“Marl is a Marl.”(Taichi)
“Eh?”(Marl)
“My most important person.”(Taichi)
After having a dumbfounded look. Marl jump at me.
I hug Marl in return and caress her head which is still a little wet.
“Even though I'm a bad woman who is lying and pushed my circumstances to Taichi-san.”(Marl)
“Yes, but it's okay, Marl. If you were not like this so there is no me today too.”(Taichi)
I remember the night that I cried in Marl's chest.
I thought that I could keep being myself because that night, Marl had accepted everything about me.
“I'll also want to accept all of you too.”(Taichi)
—————————————————————————————————————————————–
After crying for a while, Marl began talking to everything little by little.
She is the first princess of Miscronia Kingdom, having the second in line of right to succeed the throne.
She was about to get married to Melkis, the prince of the Kingdom of Neighboring Countries of Geppel, and tried to escape from the hidden passage in the treasure vault in the Loyal palace of Kingdom Miscronia.
At that time she accidentally broke the magical tool called Jewel of Oracle god which was in the treasure vault and received its effect.
“Jewel of Oracle god?”(Taichi)
“Yes, it is a magic tool that will show a user the way toward a prosperous future.”(Marl)
It is neither a switch-on magic tool like a portable stove nor put in a magic power like a Protection ring.
It can also be called a genuine artifact granted from God to a mankind below. It that kind of magic tool.
Although the effect of the Jewel of Oracle god was known.
It is likely to be a product that has been forgotten for a long time by the royal family of Miscronia because they don't know how to use it.
Even if you pray with it in hand, it shows nothing at all.
No doubt, I guess no one has ever thought that you have to break it down.
“So, what happened?”(Taichi)
“I heard a voice.”(Marl)
“Voice?”(Taichi)
“Yes, it sounds like its resonating directly in my head”(Marl)
I have a bad feeling.
I know that. I even talk to it.
“……What did it say?”(Taichi)
“A man with black eyes and hair named Taichi will appear in the Adventurer guild in the city called Crossroad of the Karendale Kingdom, so I was told to eat him sexually.”(Marl)
“Hoh, did Marl believe it?”(Taichi)
“No way, I doubt it at the beginning, but I didn't have anywhere to go, and I was saved by that voice many times. Then I arrived at Crossroad, and…..”(Marl)
“What?”(Taichi)
“When I saw Taishi-san,I fell in love at first sight …..”(Marl)
Marl buried her reddened face in my chest.
Love at first sight, huh. but I have to be sure.
I open the menu and push the button I tried to ignore it until now.
[Hmm? Did you finally call me? I thought I was forgotten.]
As usual, a voice is echoing in my head.
It is a voice I haven't heard for a long time. Even though it hasn't even a month yet.
[Well, it's about 20 days or so]
You are the one who leads Marl to me.
[Yeah, she is a good girl right. It was hard for me too.]
Why did Marl fell in love with me?
[It's simply her taste. If I borrow your word it is a Strike zone and a strike in the middle too. I swear I'm not lay a finger on this. I'm at a loss for what to swear to because myself is a god.]
Is that so, such an amazing Cupid.
[Oh, it's not much really. However, I've not done anything after that.]
Oh, okay, go die you peeping pervert.
Because I got pissed, I cut off the god call immediately.
It seems to be a fact that Mahl has been led by that unidentified being.
I don't like it. I felt that my encounter with Marl was soiled by that unknown voice.
He said that Marl feeling and my actions were not tampered with.
I don't have anything to prove it, but I have no choice but to believe.
“Taichi-san…”(Marl)
Marl's sweet and wetted eye look at me, I hugged her tight for too long so she gets in the mood huh.
She also licking my neck too.
I don't care about anything anymore! Marl is cutest!
—————————————————————————————————————————————–
“Nuoo! I lost again!”(Taichi)
“Hehe, this is my four consecutive victories!”(Marl)
I stayed in the royal palace for a week now.
In the past week, I spent the time to socialize with noble's daughters, gazing at the maid-san while walking in the corridor, and spar the soldier and knight who requested it.
Today we did it too much, so I'm spending leisurely time in the room with Marl.
Because this is a world with little amusement.
We want to do this and that with each other, but since there are eyes of the maids who are with us, so it is impossible to make a bold move with Marl from a daytime.
As I was grown tired, so Marl asked the maid to bring something like a board game.
It is an intellectual game like chess or shogi. It seems to be Blitz.
Since there is still a concept of magic, it is a little fresh in itself.
I realized that I'm not good with this type of game.
However, Marl is too strong. I can't do a thing against her.
“Damn…… I will defeat you someday.”(Taichi)
“Hehe, I am looking forward to it”(Marl)
Marl carefully handles the pieces of the Blitz in a case and returns it to the maid.
This piece looks pretty luxurious, at first, it was a bit hard to handle.
Everything seems to have been made of monster's materials.
“It should be about 10 gold coins with that set of pieces”(Marl)
“What's the hell is that.”(Taichi)
It is the same prize as the Mythril short sword that gave to Marl.
Luxury goods of the upper class are really amazing.
Well, there is still time left. what to do next.
“I'm too free, there is no something interesting.”(Taichi)
“How about playing a prank or something with Maid-san!”(Marl)
“Huhuhu, that might be good as well.”(Taichi)
While saying, Together with Marl, we look at Maid-san that standing by the door of the guest room, with a mischievous eye.
Despite desperately pretending to be expressionless, sweat dripped down on Maid-san's face while I and Marl gazed at her while releasing mischievous laughing.
“I'm kidding, sorry.”(Taichi)
“No, there is nothing.”
Maid-san's still wearing an expressionless face but she looks somewhat relaxed.
No, I'm not really going to tease you, Maid-san.
Or maybe I should go to the training ground.
Most of the guards and soldiers are training and they'll surround me instantly and ask for a spar.
It seems it is an honor to exchange a blow with a Hero.
I don't know if I was liked or hated, but I'm going to be their opponent until I got worn out.
That is one way to spending time here. But I'm not an M, so I don't want to do it so often.
I just go there yesterday as well.
But what to do? Although I have killed some time with Blitz, it was still daytime.
Yes, I came up with a good idea
“Marl, I have a favor to ask.”(Taichi)
“What is it?”(Marl)
“Please teach me about various things.”(Taichi)
—————————————————————————————————————————————–
One hour later, I and Marl went to the National Magic School of Kalendale Kingdom.
Of course, we didn't just leave the castle but we have some guards escort us too.
Security is strict at Magical School because there are a lot of noble children.
It can say that we're 100% safe in the school ground.
“If we're going study, it's should be at school!”(Marl)
“Yeah, well.”(Taichi)
I thought about coming here a week ago, but there is a lot of troubles.
We are walking along the school grounds, led by an elderly man whose costume looks magical enough to be the head of this Magic School.
The building has three floors and was made of stones.
The road leading from the gate to the school building is also lined with cobblestone, and beautifully maintained a lawn with flower beds.
There was intersection ahead on that was beautifully landed on the separate side.
There are boys and girls who seem to be students of the school, and they are releasing the magic at each other.
It was Lv 1 magic though.
It seems that it doesn't seem like there is some heroine with pink hair shooting explosions here.
“This is the grand library, if you have a problem please let the librarians know.”
“Yes, thank you”(Taichi)
When I said that and lowered my head to Headmaster grandpa, he nods satisfactorily and walks away.
“It's a hella lot of books.”(Taichi)
“Well, let ‘s get started with the history of this world on historical documents!”(Marl)
Then, Marl walking directly to the counter where the librarian is.
I'm leaving it to Marl, I was looking around the inside of the library again.
Books, books, books, books.
It is a tremendous amount of book collection that is superior to the library of the former world.
When I was at Crossroad, I peeked out at the bookstore when I'm out on shopping.
The cheapest book was at least 2 silver coins.
Perhaps there is not yet letterpress printing technology in this world.
I will probably be able to propose, but since it will naturally occur, I won't bother to interfere.
First, if I do such a thing, I feel I would lose the other-world-ish sensation.
At least, I want to enjoy this world as it is now.
“Taichi-san, what's the matter?”
When thinking about such a thing, Marl holding a few books and watching me with a strange face.
“No, not at all. Let's start a lesson than that, Marl-sensei.”(Taichi)
“Well then, Taichi-kun”(Marl)
We laughing at each other while saying such things.
Forget that fucking voice. I will live freely in this world.
—————————————————————————————————————————————–
The content of the classes has diverged.
First, it's a simple geography.
The name of this world seems to be Eriald.
It is said that civilization has reached its height and ruined many times in the past and it has been repeated.
It is now November 3rd, the year 2203 of New Gods calendar.
There are 365 days a year, 24 hours a day.
This world was strange and same as the original world. There is not much different world feeling.
It is said that 2203 years has flowed since the New gods were delegated the governance of the world from the Old God.
“Eh? There are though?”(Marl)
“Eh? There are?”(Taichi)
‘Is Gods really exists?' when I asked her that, Marl confirmed like a matter of course, so I asked again unintentionally.
“Yes, occasionally administering, giving ornaments, giving miracles, giving magic tools. And at the end of last year, the goddess of liquor Melonel came to the local city of the Sandres Empire on the second continent, I heard that they have a banquet of drinking and singing and leave a lot of mess.”(Marl)
What kind of community-based god is that?
Religion in this world certainly has a god that exists within and seems to be direct oracle through believers.
“Well then is that kind of god that gives us an oracle with Jewel of Oracle god?”(Taichi)
“No, Jewel of Oracle god are said to have been given by the old god according to legend.”(Marl)
“What happened to that old god?”(Taichi)
“It is also said that old god left the world by leaving it new gods, and it is said that he died because he broke his existence into pieces and created a new god from it.”(Marl)
Being shredded into pieces is suited for that pervert, yeah, yeah.
Because I derailed, I returned to study geography.
The name of this continent where we are now is called Pete Continent, the Karendale Kingdom, and the Miscronia Kingdom, the hometown of Marl are on this continent. It is also called the first continent.
This continent is mild in temperate and gentle climate, fruits and crops are cheap.
The monsters breeding is also prosperous correspondingly, there are still many areas in the unexplored.
The Kalendale Kingdom is a traditional kingdom located in the middle of the Pete Continent, blessed with vast flatlands and forests.
The plains are developed and proud of the food production which is said to be the food cabinet of the Pete Continent. The main industry is, of course, agricultural.
Basically, it is a rich country, but it is not in contact with the ocean, they didn't even have rock salt and so on their land, you can not help but depend on imported salt.
In addition, there are many forests, but there are many places that are dominated by monsters, so it seems that development of forest resources has not progressed much.
Next is the Miscronia Kingdom, Marl's home.
It is a kingdom located in the southeastern part of the Pete continent and is rich in water resources such as lakes and rivers.
It is also blessed with marine products because it is also in contact with the ocean.
Besides the Pete continent, we also trade with the country of the Plum continent, which also called the second continent.
So everything around the world gathers in the Capital, Klone.
Since there are many shipping services heading to each country, it is also called a country where travelers gather.
However, lakes and rivers lurk many aquatic monsters, many of them benefit from water, but there are also many dangers.
As rice crops are thriving (!), Unlike the Kalendale Kingdom where bread is a staple food, over there rice is like a staple food.
It is the supplier of salt imported by the Kalendale Kingdom.
So the power relationship is that Miscronia is higher than Kalendale.
“So that is basically why they can't oppose Miscronia.”(Marl)
“So, that's why King went that pale.”(Taichi)
Afterwards, the Geppel Kingdom which was planned to become the marriage partner of Marl.
It is a country in the prairie of the eastern continent, cotton production, livestock such as horses, cattle, sheep are actively carried out.
Also, the number of monsters is very small compared to other areas. It is the country with the fewest demons in the Pete continent.
Agriculture is also prosperous, and since it also faces the ocean, it is famous for its cuisine with an abundant variety of ingredients.
However, there have skirmished for years with the tribe of Centaurs who are half-male and horse who lives in the meadow, and security is not so good though there are few monsters.
There are two more countries in Pete Continent.
One is the Mountbus Kingdom of Dwarves in mountainous areas in the northwest.
It seems that they are processing and exporting abundant metals mined from mountainous areas as weapons and decorative items.
Dwarves' works are all high-quality, so it's pretty useful.
Regarding food, imports from the Kalendale kingdom are also many, but they are also cutting rice fields and making rice paddies to produce agricultural crops.
Also, most tea circulating on the Pete continent is from this Mountbus.
However, there are many powerful demons such as wyverns and griffons in mountainous areas, and there are even strong dragons, even though it rarely appear, so it seems that it is a difficult area to live other than for dwarfs.
the last one. It is a bit difficult to call it a country.
It is a large forest spreading north of Pete Continent.
It is dotted with villages of various demi-humans tribes and elves, and each tribe respects each other.
It is said that there are many ruins of civilization dating back to the Old God era and even more, but there are few ones who have stepped foot into the depths of the large forests where strong monsters lurk.
It seems that each tribe of the large forest lives by tracing the forest's blessings, excavation from the scattered ruins, timber thinned out to maintain the forest and so on.
“Well, it's such a simple geography of the Pete Continent and countries! Is there any countries that caught your interest?”(Marl)
“Miscronia.”(Taichi)
“Eh?” (Marl)
“Miscronia Kingdom.”(Taichi)
“F, For real?”(Marl)
“For real, I am serious.”(Taichi)
Go to Miscronia and you can eat rice.
No, bread meal is not bad at all, but I really wanna eat rice.
I like meat, I like it! But, I want to eat salted frying fish with white rice!
“Well, may I ask why?”(Marl)
“I want to eat rice” (Tacchi)
“As expected of Taichi-san, I understand you.”(Marl)
Then we shaking our hand together.
It goes without saying that a new bond was formed between me and Marl on this day.
By the way, this place doesn't seem to be a lot like Magic school, other than students who release magic at the playground we saw when entering.
Let me take a tour a little more if there is a chance next time.
—————————————————————————————————————————————–
Basically, the meals in the castle are brought to our room.
Only on the first day, we had dinner with the king and queen, Prince and Princess at a foolishly big cafeteria with a stupidly big table, but it was too elegant to eat and did not feel comfortable.
For I, who don't know table manners or anything well, yeah.
So, at the next day, I asked them to take it to the guest room and eat with Marl.
After all, adventurer tastes unfamiliar with courtesy, I could not bear the atmosphere like that because I'm an ordinary general.
Yes, meals must be delicious. And doesn't be bound by manners or rules, eat freely. I think that is important.
“Hamu! Nom, nom, nom!!”(Taichi)
“Taichi-san, that is bad manners.”(Marl)
Marl smiles bitterly.
It can not be helped, it is white rice for the first time in about a month. The white rice!
I was begged Maid-san for this.
She seems to have prepared rice by Marl instruction.
It is a pity that the side dish is steak instead of saury, but it is good in itself.
But I also want chopsticks, though it's not like I can't eat with a knife and a fork.
Yes, let's make it next time, let's do it.
For the comfortable eating, nope, it's gourmet.
“You like rice this much…….”(Marl)
“Oh, I've been growing up with rice.”(Taichi)
“What kind of place was Taichi-san hometown?”(Marl)
My hand stopped with Marl's words and think for a moment.
Is it a good thing to say? There are many unbelievable parts even if you say.
If it leaks about political form and technology, it may affect this world influence.
I swallow things in my mouth, drink a mouthful of water and explain.
“Well, as I said before, it was a peaceful place, there are no monsters, no warfare. It is difficult to earn money, but it was impossible for us to lack food. You can eat as much as you want, whenever you like.”(Taichi)
There are no convenience stores that open for 24 hours in Eriald.
Oh, wasn't the adventurer guild also offer 24-hour service?
“Huh….it sounds like a dream somehow, is not it?”(Marl)
“Well, I wonder? Because it was also a country that people committed suicide nearly 30,000 annually due to stress and daily living, I feel like it is a different place for a dream”(Taichi)
“Thre…, 30,000!”(Marl)
Marl's face distorts with amazement. Well, it normal.
“Every year, that much of suicide…. The country isn't crumbling?”(Marl)
“Because I think that the total population of my country was about 120 million people, so just 30thousand is insignificant from the total number Well, the declining birthrate and the aging population became a problem”(Taichi)
“120 million…….The numbers are too different”(Marl)
Certainly, the population of this capital was about 100,000 in all.
If there are 100,000 people in the capital where the most people gather, the total population of the country will not exceed one million at most.
“It's a historical country. It has rice as the staple food since long ago, it is probably about sixty years ago that the bread diet has increased a lot, and now bread is also often eaten But after all I still think that staple food was rice.”(Taichi)
I choose the topics that won't leave an influence as much as possible and resume my meal.
I was very satisfied with the white rice for a long time.
Marl also seems satisfied with the taste of her hometown too.
“I'm full, this big city should have some restaurant that serves rice!”(Taichi)
“Well, let's go find it together when we can move around!”(Marl)
If there isn't any, then I'll get rice somehow and cook it myself.
If they are a product of a neighboring country, I should find and buy it in the market.
